THE LAST SHOT.

Publication of Frederic Palmer's war
novel, The Last Shot" will begin
shortly in the Times Republican. Mr..
Palmer is al present war correspondent
for the Associated Press. He has seen
service in all the later wars and is not
only a charming writer out with a
knowledge of secret history and the
underlying and hidden purposes of
wars that approaches prophecy. His
story OF might! war and the man
ner in which it was wayed is being
borne out daily by press reports from
the European struggle.
Palmer's story is .,ood one in more
than one or TWO ways. 1t Is absorbing
enough in its interest and action. Il is
also preachment of a higher doctrine
than has been the basis of wars and
the settlement of wars
Read 1t. II will begin this week. Fol-
low it along with the news dispatches
from the center of an actual werld
struggle.

or repealed.
In the convention Of the republican
party at Des Moines. we see this plank
| in their platform; we are in favor OF
the state issuing bonds to improve the
public highways.
Now, Mr.. Editor. the committee that
drafted the platform, knew very well
| that the boards of supervisors of IOWA
had power to issue bonds, to improve
the public highways. Wright county has
bonded Indebtedness of 100000. for
building bridges. but the supervisors
have no ability to issue bonds to pave
the public roads.
No, sir. IL the committee that draft
ed the platform ut the republican state
convention had had the nerve to skrew
their courage up to the sticking point.
that plank would have read: we are
in favor of the state issuing long time
paving bonds to pave the public high
highways, and charge the same up to
the farmers.
We most earnestly object to the
county engineers flooding the farmers
lands by damming up natural water
ways. with narrow cufverts and bridges
utterly ignoring the suggestions and
advice of old settlers that have lived
along the streams for forty years.
We believe the resolution endorsing
the highway commission. by the state
convention OF supervisors at Cedar
Rapids, was farce and does not rep
resent the will of Iowa's supervisors.

comes from the ofriceholders at Des
