BOOZE AND THE speAksasHIp.

The Detroit Free Press relates in de-
Tail the humiliating incident which
took place in that city when the secre-
tary of the board of commerce of that
city found it necessary to turn off the
lights on the stage where Champ
Clark was attempting to make
speech. The Free Press states that
the secretary had invited Mr.. Clark to
leave the platform when evidences In
his words and actions demonstrated
that he was under the influence of
liquor and that Clark refused to listen
to him. The lights were turned off
but Mr.. Clark continued rambling
monologue. They were relighted but
as speech and action became less and
less coherent they were turned off for
keeps, Clark led from the platform
and apology made to the audience.
From the account given by the De-
troit Free Press the speaker Of the
national honse of Representatives. and
the candidate who narrowly
missed nomination and prob
able election to the presidency
OF the United States was simply
plain drunk before representative
audience that had gathered to meet
him and listen to him in a representa-
tive American city. The incident should
end his hopes of reelection as speaker
OF the coming congress.
It is not the first incident OF the kind
to mar Mr. Clark's record and disgust
his audiences. There had been gen.
eral hope that Mr.. Clark had con-
quered his unfortunate habit. And II
is not necessary to withhold personal
| sympathy for the man while insisting
that his lack of self restraint and self
government units him for official po-
sition. Clark should be unconsidered
for the speakership. He is fortunate TO
be permitted to remain In congress-
for It seems to follow that the act that
IL considered sufficient justification for
tho removal Of the Hsyor OF a village
would disqualify a congressman and
a national chairman whose power.
are scarcely less than those Of the
president.

crop expert proposition won out at the
polls In Blackhawk county while II
was defeated In Woodbury. county. Is
easy. The Blackhawk Crop Improve
.nent Association. the hacker OF the
plan in Biackhawk. had been actively
at work two years. whereas the Farm
improvement Association OF Wood
bury county. which stood sponsor for
the expert in Woodbury.. had not been
organized long enough TO get well down
10 business.
II Is understood the association Is
not discouraged by the outcome Of the
election and that it proposes 10 go
ahead with tina work without the
county aid which was denied 1t by the
voters. II Is confidently predicted that,
liz 1t shall work along lines similar TO
those which the BlackhaWk association
worked. within two years II Will have
effected such a radical change In the
sentiment OF the yoters-particularly
the farmers. the ones who defeated the
plan-thai not only can another propo-
sision to levy the necessary tax be
carried at the polls, but the farmers
Will otherwise rally to the cause in the
way OF Joining the association In large
numbers.
The BIackhawk Crop improvement
Associate was organized Oct Z. 1912
A list of It's activities in the Cedar
Falls Record indicates that since thar
time 1t has been busy little organiza.

done in lime, corn and alfalfa. Dairy
men and breeders have been induced
to organize associations. Boys have
| formed corn growing club and girls
| q cooking and canning club. The iist

| tomato growing club and farm and
home Improvement club. The associa-
| lion aids the farmers by buying large
AMOUNTS OF clover seed, alfalfa seed
and seed corn. Test associations hold
regular mnnthly meetings. which. be-
sides developing community spirit
are the means Of improving dairy
herds and general dairy conditions.
The general association brought IN
twenty-five carloads Of lime for use

THOSE BELGIAN FARMERS.
DOSAGE News,l


There is considerable talk about
inducing 10000 or more Belgian farm
Frs TO settle in Iowa. The plan has
some merits, but We are inclined 20 be-
lieve that the Questions overshadow
the merits. Ii is stated in favor OF the
plan that Iowa farmers would learn
how 10 farm intensively from their Bel
gian brethren, who have been COM

acres OF ground The added popuia-
ton. IL Is claimed. would be an ad-
vantage to the Iowa business man. On
the other hand there IL a conviction
gaining headway that great population
Is not the most desirable thing In the
world. When hard times come II is
not difficult for a community settled
as Iowa 10 TO weather the storm, but
with the population multiplied several
times the situation Is vastly different.
OF course there is the humanitarian
side 10 the question, and II Is well
worth considering. But, can Iowa do
a better work in the world than to feed
her own people well. and with plenty
OF elbow room for them to work In.
product mammoth crops OF corn and
grain and meat for the less fortunate
world? thickly settled country Is not
an agricuituRil country. II does not
utilize every inch OF its soil because Of
superior scientific ability alone, but be-
cause il has to. Such country natur-
ally turns its attention to manufacture
ing. depending upon places like Iowa
for food and raw material. Iowa can
best I'LL her place in the great scheme
Of things by supplying this demand.
We believe in greater Iowa. all right,
bur we are far from sure that a
greater population w. significant Of a
greater Iowa at any rate population
that is not achieved by steady normal
growth.

OVERRIDING A GOOD THING.
fIeMnYann RnA

The news regarding the quarantine
IN Green county is very unsatisfac-
tory. DR.. Gibson, state veterinarian.
stated yesterday that no change would
be made In the situation here until his
agents had gone over the quarantfned
herds again and made report. This
means a delay OF several days The
feeling is becoming very bitter over
the excessive severity of the authori-
ties In their treatment Of the Greene
county situation.
We are bein streated in Just the
same manner as II we had the foot and
mouth disease Actually developed here.
In fact there has never been q case
of the disease In the county, never
even a suspicion Of case. never, In
fact, case within $50 miles Of Greene
county. Why then such extreme meas
ures az forbiddfng public sales, the
SC Z: e-!::sS ss s:s::>.= for abort cnnrke
or the driving Of q COW across the

The answer OF the state authorities
| Is that hog cholera serum, alleged to
have been infected In Chicago Was
shipped into and used In Greene coun-
". The charge asaist this serum has
not yet been definitely proven. 1t IL in
fact q guess. That serum and virus
has been used in many places, but mo-
where else except on the two Cedar
county cases DO we find any proof
that 1t was infected. II was used in
Greene county long before 1t was on
| the Cedar county herds, but nothing
has happened, The Cedar county out
break occurred In the middle Of q
TERRITORY which has bsen afflicted with
the disease for many weeks. Az events
