announced to-day. through agents. that
he would make no answer to tho COM
municatiOn OF the mediators nor issue

nation of Il provisional government In
Northern Mexico until he had reached
Saltillo.
At the Same time 1t was announced
I that the Constitutionalist commander
fn-chief had departed from Durango on
his way to Saltillo. by way OF Torreon
The delay In the issuance OF the pro-
clamation is believed to have been
caused by some phase OF the Niagara
Falls conference and by tho reported
desire OF Carranza formally to estab-
lish himself as Provisional President at
Saltillo.
Gencarl Villa to-day was reported as
preparing to move south from Chihua-
E"a City to meet Carranza Mt Torrcon

OF n new central military zone in COM
mand of General Natera, which was
made yesterday by Carranza, continued

ing extravaganza of the present and
past government in power at Des
Moines. This extravaganza has be-
come so accentuated as to cause a
feeling of alarm among the citizenship
Of the state, who feel that the time
has come to call halt. In addition
to being good citizen, Mr.. Rowley is
true patriot. On his own initiative
he endeavored to circumvent the con-
spiracy which has for Its purpose the
laying out of many millions on the

THE BRILLIANT SURGEON.

Sir Frederick Treves, one of the
greatest living surgeons, has brought
down upon his head the wrath of the
medical profession In England by his
warning against the brilliant men,
bers of his own profession of surgery.
There is no person." Sir Frederick
said, "of whom would have greater
fear than the brilliant surgeon, and If
1t fell to my lot to have to undergo
an operation | should carefully select
one who was not brilliant. Hard work
produces better results than bril-
liancy"
One reason advanced in explanation
of Sir Frederick's statement-th rea-
sons for which he did not himself
elaborate upon-is that the brilliant
surgeon is at high tension in all his
work and therefore nervous. 1t seems
to the Dubuque Telegraph Herald that
this is not the real reason:
The latter, Sir Frederick would
say, is that the brilliant surgeon is a
great gambler who essays the new
and untried, stalking the life of his pa
uent on the success Of his doubtful ex.
pertinent. Stated in other words, the
brilliant surgeon is more in love with
himself and his profession than with
the right OF the patient to life

A PARALLEL CASE.

Polk county sued the Rock Island
for S23,O00,0J0 and settled for $4,000.
This recalls to the Iowa City Repub-
lican story Of an office seeker who
called upon the President to see about
a position. He asked for an appoint
ment as minister to some country.
The subsequent proceedings are thus
narrated:
The President politely informed the
applicant that he was very sorry
there was no opening. Then ne would
take consulship, but here there was
nothing in sight, Several other po-
sitions were talked over, but nothing
was unpromised Finally the man
said he would like to get a place as
white house policeman, but the Presi-
dent said there was no vacancy. The
caller sat for time in a deep study,
and then remarked:
Say, Mr.. President, you and are
about the same size, haven't you
some old clothes you could let me
have?'

IMPORTANT REcoMMENnA,

AN important recommendation In

.ext OF the recommendation ia az
follows: as
As rural routes emanate from nr,o
Ideally all of the places where tbis

siieu' the carriers should be used to
make such deliveries as NAV ha do,
slraple and feasible to the residen+s

eral delivery service as indicated. but

ing the necessity for additional horse
hire for the delivery of the larger
packages. The compensation Of rural
carriers should therefore be changed
from a mileage to an eight-hour basis.
and these carriers should be permitted
to deliver mail regardless Of distance

AS a result of the activity OF the
state officials of Iowa the matter OF
fair freight rates for Iowa is becoming
fairly well adjusted. With the closing
of the western rate cases all those In
which Iowa is directly interested are
disposed Of. In the western rate
cases the Interstate Commerce com.
mission has adopted the zone system
prepared by the Iowa shippers and
commission and ordered its adoption
as against that offered by the rail-
roads. The Interstate Commerce
Commission is preparing the zones in
the eastern cases. When these are all
arranged for the first time in tine his

will have a fair chance at competition

POWER DAM AND POLITICS.
The "RaIney Investigation" Has a
Partisan Motive.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: The impress
sion obtains in Burlington the pro-
posed Investigation of the dam at
Keokuk by Congressman Rainey Of
Illinois is political buncombe. This is
the more evident by the statement
sent out that all the towns within a
radius of $50 miles of the dam report
they have received no benefit from
u. In cheaper power! Quite likely
The dam was only recently CONFLICT
ed and large proportion of the towns
have not yet been equipped for cleo
trio service. Transmission lines are
being built and others extended. Bur-
lington has had the current only few
weeks and the rates have not yet
been scheduled, but they are in prep
aration. Nobody has Eeen authorized
Ito report Burlington as having ire
ceived no benefit from the power
dam. No one knows yet just the ex-
tent of the reduction in cost this city
will have, but our citizens do know
they are getting the benefit of uni
form, constant current.
1t is therefore misleading to give 1T
out that all the towns within radius
of 150 miles report they are receiving
no benefits from reduced rates" when
the great majority have no transmits
sion wires or equipments yet, and the
few which have the connection have
hardly got adjusted to the situation.
For this reason the Hawk-Eye looks
upon the Rainey publicity bureau as
a play in the game of politics.
