anco It Council Bluns Wa e believed
that an organised effort would be made
to use . nonpartisan plan involving the
Judiciary for strictly partisan purposes.
Thare has been . dispositiou in the
state TO treat Mr.. Thomas generously.
Criticism has not been widely voiced.
altho allusion has been made to his
years and preparation for the high ju-
dicial once he seeks. His record in this
respect, as disclosed by the files at the
state house, follows:
One half time for 40 weeks spent in
study in Office Of Robert Healy, begin
ming Oct. 1. 1906, and ending June /,
1909.
Eight weeks in summer law school at
University of Michigan in 1908, taking

One year at State University Of Iowa,

Admitted to the bar June IL, 1910.
Nevertheless, there has been kindly
feeling toward the young and ambitious
seeker for supreme judicial honors and
1t 10 unfortunate that his friends force
consideration Of his case by repudiating
the law by which he hopes to attain
that high place. A partisan attack on
the integrity of the very law which
makes his candidacy possible il an I'M

seeks to sit in Judgment on the rights

that they shall be appointed. The SOW

to court and fought a losing fight for
the velrety profit he expected TO make
building Wapello bridges. but which
the county thereafter built herself. AS
an illustration, a sx6 culvert which the
contractor was to get $500 for, the
county built at total cost Of 1896.
Times were changed at the Wapello
court house. People soon found ii out.
Doing business with the county didn't
mean the looting of the county treas
ury. There was progress in road build
ing. The bridge money went twice as
far.
Today Wapeilo is reaping the benefit.
She has fine system Of main travelled
roads covering the entire county that
should with proper maintenance be in
splendid condition by the close Of the
season. She has this system perma-
nently bridged and has four bridge
gangs working on township road cul-
verts and bridges. She contracted for
1000 barrels of cement during the win
ter. Her cost of concrete by day labor
runs from $500 to Sl3. She has hired
steam engine which sh> is using with
a blade grader. She owns a Kerosene
tractor which pulls two blade graders.
She uses huge engine drag behind
the tractor. to put the finishing touches
upon her road crowning road. She has
a wheeler outfit Of eight teams. Fifty
five men are under contract to keep
the county road system dragged at S.
per mile for the season.
Highland township has come mighty
near setting \ pace even for the coun-
IT, Highland, owns two teams, and a
fine road working outfit. She hires
two men for the season and others
when necessary. Two men give their
entire time to the township roads and
also do considerabl work for the coun-
ty for which the county pays. Highland
has built concrete bridges for years
and her bridge troubles are practical
ly over. 1t will not be long till her tax
payers begin to realize on this in de-
creased taxes.
Wapello county is making great
showing this season. Her full standard
thirty six foot width grading with
twenty four foot crown and her Gull
verts of thirty feet permitting In al
most every case the full twenty-four

the foundations to better roads now,
and for magnificent highways for the

The apple crop situation in Iowa this

to orchard success. In those sections
where spraying is unusual, the crop OF
fruit this year promises to be small. In
those sections, notably in the southwest
quarter Of the state, where spraying Is
rapidly becoming general practice.

CHAPTER LXxHI.

l was rather glad when Dick s
father, mother and Mollie lett for
home. 1t seemed to me that he
and | had been in a turmoil of
some kind ever since we got into
the new rooms. Besides, thought
Dick looked rather depressed.
When he. came In last night
after dinner and sunk into his easy
chair l hurried to get his slippers
and the old alpaca coat he loves
to wear at night when we are
alone.
He gave sigh of relief as /
helped him on with his coat and
said: 81 tell you, Margie, 1t seems
good to be alone, just you and me,
dear"
II hope no one will come in"
I remarked as l saw how tired and
worried he looked.
els there anything on your
mind, Dick?" asked.
He looked at me moment
speaking and then said: Eyes,
Margie; l have come to q place in
my business life where 1 must
make u decision quickly, and IL Is
bOthering me more than little"
/ did not dare say, Tell me
what it u.s." for had already
found out that Dick hated to be
questioned about business, but
sat very still and waited, hoping
he would tell me.
you know l mentioned that
big school-book deal in
after l came homer" he said after
few minutes.
Yes, DEAR" l answered.
well, II looks as though there
was lot of graft for someone in
the deal. 1t has been intimated to
me that IL our firm wanted to
sell those books we must turn out
and place some greenbacks where
they are most needed.
II know Selwin expects me to
get that contract. l thought / was

Morton, our treasurer, would wink
at the expense, although / don't
think Selwin would stand for alb
solute bribing IL ne knew Il. The
other fellows have no such COM
Functions. and l am afraid they
will get the trade away from me-"
/ can't tell how it hurt me to
think that Dick even contemplated
such thing as a crooked business
practice, but somehow I felt that
1t would do no good to appeal to
him on the moral side OF the mat
ter. He seemed to think that BUSH
ness ethics and moral ethics were
totally different.
For the first time in my life
realized just what a "cutthroat"
game this thing men call business
n. 1t seems as though the mod
ern motto is, Get there, no mat
ter how, but-get there" l felt
/ must keep Dick from doing this
thing, but--how?
"Of course, you know such
things are wrong" / said.
Everybody In business does
them" answered Dick, scowling.
But that doesn't make It
right" / exclaimed.

slowly, "but 1 am afraid I'd take

give one?" ! asked trembling.
