EDisoh's LATEST LESSON.

Thomas Edison has given this coun-
try another lesson, Edison has been

most valuable if it shall he needed.

acid is used in the manufacture %

The SWALLOWING PROCESS.

Somebody predicted a year or so go
that Bryan and Roosevelt would be
opposing candidates for president in
1916. The prediction as to Roosevelt
was based on the proposition that the
republicans would swallow Inc bull
moosers or the moosers the republic
cans. However. the progressive party
by nomenelature-has not swallowed
any considerable part of the republic
cans in Iowa: On the contrary, thous-
ansd Of those Tho voted for Roosevelt.
VIII vote the republican ticket this
year. The returns from more recent
elections have shown that the Roose-
Welt vote was NOT a bull moose party
vote and that the party has fallen into
an innocuous desuetude except in
few sections where the same causes
that operated TO create the anita gonism
within the party which resulted in the
large vote for Roosevelt are still in op-
Grafton as in Pennsylvania. In Iowa
the bull moose vote will be neglible
except as It viii act as an aid and abet-
ment to the democrats. If there are
progressive party candidates who hope

In Polk county the DULL moose candi-
date for sheriff has withdrawn his
name from the race for the shrievalty
in the interest of the democratic can
didate. In his letter Of withdrawal he
pledges himself to do all he can to
elect the democrat. 1t appears that ne
gotiations have been going on toward a
coalition Of bull moosers and democrats
there.
Another instance much nearer home
might be referred to where the bull
moose candidate vas nominated and ex-
pected democratic support, but where
things went wrong and the coalition
fell thru.

The re- election of Senator Cummins it
has been supplied by the deliberate
by the ilI-advised. over-zealous sup
porters Of Mr. Connolly. For instance.
here Is q gem OF thought from the
Decorah Journal:
If there ever was an unmitigaied
political quack on this earthly foot
stool, his name is Albert B. Cummins
Paraphrasing Lincoln. he has fooled
most Of the people some Of the time:
it appears that he will fool some Of
them all of the time: but he can't
eyerlastingly fool majority Of them.

tics that this demogogue is passing

another man he has missed his calling

Gus attacks made on Senator Cummins

Postmaster General Burleson has in
mind some little economies by which
he thinks he can save $4,000, 900 with
out impairing the service to the public.
The postmaster generals plan. as we
gather it, is to discontinue rural free
delivery as low provided, and to have
the work done by contract in some
fashion more or less similar to the old
star route system.
The postmaster general is taking the
wrong tack. The people of this country
who foot the bills would like very much
to save S20.000.000 year out of the
postoffice budget. but they will hardly
approve any backward step in the con-
duct of the postal business. We have

BRICK ON AN IOWA ROAD.

The best piece of country road in
Iowa is four miles OF brick. laid out
of the city of Des Moines. northwest
ward The road has been in four years
and the brick In il show little or no
wear. Brick used on country roads
will, we believe, last almost indefinite
~. Fifty years will see it still in place.
if it is vitrifed brick. We have had
brick in Cedar Rapids that has lasted
twenty-five years and was still In fair
condition when taken up. altho laid on
nothing more firm than another layer
OF brick.
Brick is the only paving material
that is available in Iowa that may be
called even semi permanent, for all
talk about permanent roads is, of
course, nonsense, there being in the
Very nature of things no materials
that are really permanent when used
in road making. But brick will come
the nearest 10 it.
The four miles laid out OF Des
Moines were laid on concrete, the
concrete base on the edges flaring lp
into an apron, about eighteen inches
wide. resembling the apron on d curb
stone, now used on many streets. Be-
tween these two concrete aprons is
twelve feet OF brick. making the whole
roadway about fifteen feet, or wide
enough for two vehicles to pass each
other. the bulk and body of the traf-
fc being all the time on the brick But
even under that limited wear the con-
crete edges show more wear than the
brick center. showing that concrete IL
used for the main roadway would not
last even under farm and purely pleas
ure traffic. The brick used on the Des
'Moines roadway are not as good as
those used in this city. for they are
small brick. They were laid a, a COS:
of $4,000 per mile. which is about the
lowest price for which hard roads can
be made in Iowa or anywhere else.

pavement he can not help wishing u

reason for stopping with the rural free
delivery when perhaps ass much. or
more. money might be saved by hand
ing the city free delivery over to con-
tractors. Our just inaugurated parcels

No, Mr.. Postmaster General. the
people will welcome economics effected
thru stopping leaks or improved effct-
ency. but they will not stand for the

when Editor Jameson Is making
such an ado about the high taxes

pose that Iowa should elect a demo-
