WHERE IOWA STANDS.

II is rather peculiar state of mind
into which many congressman seem to
fall after term or two in "the halls
Of legislation
The people have been demanding the
abolition of the free seed graft for
some years. The sentiment is uniyer-
sal that il is worthless except to the
congressman who imagines that 1t
brings him in touch with the consti-
tuents who are thus insulted with a
packet OF garden seeds no better and
perhaps not as good as he may buy
for nickel at his grocery store; but
congress sticks to the free seed fool
ishness like a burr to fuzzy over
coat.

other and more important system OF

man without whom the country would
he better Off
And in this discussion of colossal
graft and in the effort to reform II Iowa
stands boldly prominent Her senators
and her congressman are, with the pos
sible exception of a single democrat
absolutely opposed TO the graft and its
purpose. 1t is idle to point to j. A. T.
Hull and his success along similar
ones. That type of congressman is out
of date in Iowa, except as accidental
elections offer occasional opportunity.
The time is at hand when the con-
gresham who looks upon his job as
an opportunity to graft the public in
terest for his district or his party will
be classified as true CRATER. The
understanding OF public duty and per-
sonal responsibility TO the public is
rising. !, will sweep away the petty
CONGRESSMAN. the mere politician in its
flood. Iowa is merely a few steps in
advance of other states in learning
that the difference between a CRATER
in congress and CRATER in the town
ship is merely in degree and not OF
kind.
But look over the Iowa list for the
pas, decade. Compare state admins
irations and national representatives
OF Iowa with those of most other
states. Then we shall begin to rea-
lie how clean and prominent Iowa and
Iowans stand out of the ruck and un
derstand why Iowa is a synonym of
fortunate states

INCOMPETENT ENGINEERS.

lfdiINeI0 AeuSe9.j
One OF the chief objections OF the
new Iowa road law is its provision for
d civil engineer in every county at a
time when there are not sufficient en-
gineers 20 go round. In many coun-
ties OF the state the engineer II a
laughing stock of the community, for
he is inexperienced and lacking in
ability. Many people say that this
feature of the law was forced ;hra 81
the state agricultural college people in
order that they might provide places
for the young men they are getting
ready 10 send out into the world. and
there is probably some truth in The
statement 1t is quite certain that a
lot Of the work done by these men is
impracticaoie and shows inefficiency in
the highest degree. An engineer is a
necessary feature of a road law. but
he should be an engineer and not a
squirt who runs level with a mere
squint.
