FIX The FENCES.

Attorney General Cosson is right in
part in his assertion that the state at
this time is more in need of enforce
ment OF the laws we have than IN the
making of new laws. Right in part
because there Is always occasion and
opportunity and always will be for a
legislature to perfect and improve laws
which have been tried out. 1t is true,
however, that there is less need and
demand for new legislation at this
time than has confronted a legislative
session in many years.
We need ballot reform but it is in
the nature of improving ballot laws
which we now have We need reform
or Improvement of the business organ
ization of the state but we do not need
the creation of any new bureaus, COM
missions or offices. We need amend
ment and Improvement of our road
laws so counties can anticipate their
road taxes and build a substantial and
approximately permanent road without
increased taxation and we need some
way OF dividing the cost equitably be-
tween the state. the county and the
property which derives the most benefit
but we do not need the creation of
any more administrative machinery for
our road department..
And so it goes. Even the workman's
Compensation law needs improv ement
so that the state can offer insurance
at cost when it corupels the employer
to buy insurance and conpels the IN
jured workman 10 accept Insurance in
lieu OF mis- common law rights against
the employer. However, all this is in
the nature of fixing up the fences
rather than that of building a new
fence and the coming legislature being
largely a farmers alliance should un-
derstand fence repair without a great
deal of suggestion.
Let's fix up and improve what We
have already started and stop at that
We do not need a great deal OF new
and untried experiments in legislation.
We do need, however enforcement OF
law everywhere Enforcement Of all
law and the repeal of laws which
should not be enforced is a good pro-
gram at any time.

repeats that Thomas Jefferson dis

asserts that Abe Lincoln was
bartender" and that Jesus Christ
turned water into wine. 1t is the same
old thing that preachers used to use

As to Mr.. Vollmer, it is not to be
held against him as 1t would be held
against Jim Good, A. b. Cummins, Will
liam Kenyon, Frank Prouty and other
public men of Iowa We're any of them
to make a speech like that; for Mr..
Vollmer is an ancient gentleman with
ancient prejudices that have been
strengthened thru legal practice of
sort and lifelong acceptance of the sa-
loon as an institution. The charitable
conclusion is that Mr.. Vollmer is back
somewhere in the past century arguing
and defending a traffic ard a custom
from and is nearly ready TO abolish.
Nor is there any cause to attempt to
deny or explain the facts that Wash
ington probably brewed some beer.
that Jefferson was interested in dis
tillery. 1t is untrue that Lincoln was
a bartender of course, tho Lincoln sold
some liquor in his day as grocery
clerks sell molasses nowadays. But
granting that ali that is true what
ice does it cut in the settlement of the
liquor question today? Washington
was a slave owner, SO was Jefferson,
but there isn't a slave owner in the
United States today.
The liquor question is up to date. No
up to date man is defending il. Those
who are its friends are 50 because of
proAt, because Of fear, because of APP
petite and connect ion. The liquor ques-
ton is business and neral ques-

LENGTH OF DAYS.

REV. H. D. Jenkins D. D. in Sioux
City JournaI.1
Length of days is from God" A man
may put his gold in a safe deposit vault
and his heirs will find 1t there. He may
entail his land to the second generation
and 1t will not disappear in any con-
vulsion of nature He may insure his
property in some good company and
sleep o. nights undisturbed by
dreams Of loss. But nothing that he
can do or that his family can do or
that his physician may advise will put
of the inevita Bile hour" He may shun
the perils Of the sea only to break his
neck on the stairway leading from his
chamber. He may escape the red edge
of war and die OF rusty nail. Where
are the men whe began life with US
septuagenarians? Where were the fine
fellows, thousand strong, with whom
II marched toward Gettysburg fifty
years ago: where were they when
revisited the field last year? Out OF q
thousand only four could be discov-
cred. The boy companion, who could
outwalk us, outjump the trained ath-
tlete and outswim . duck-has been
| dead two score years. The young giant,
who's TODD beside us to be mustered
who stood beside us to be mustered
we were dismissed to our homes, died
within six months of indigestion. II we
have been permitted to number more
years than these lost companions of
youth 1t is not because nature favored
us but because God protected us. Ev-
I cry year added to ones life is q new

HOW PIGS GROW INTO AUTOS.
rGlanwood Tribune I

Art Dick brought up to Cheyne
Brothers or last Friday six head of
hogs and received the market price
prevailing for that day. $3.50 per hun
bred Nothing remarkable about that,
you say, and yet, when we tell you
that those hogs averaged S24 pounds
each and that they were farrowed on
May / of 1914, you can note that the
deal was somewhat remarka ole. When
one thinks of hogs less than IA
months old making a weight Of S24
pounds, it causes him to sit up and
take notice. We are getting so used
to remarkable agricultural and live
stock productions in Mills county that
such instances are given but a passing
notice. These remarkable pigs are Of
the Duroc Jersey breed. They ran on
pasture for close to Ave months before
they were started to be made market
able Those six pigs made 10 cent
Increase each day from the day they
were farrowed unt!i sold. Is it any
wonder that Iowa farmers can ride in
automobiles?

Steve had grown old-it is q way
nature has of dealing with men and
none of those who have so long done
their part in the making Of the T.-R.
has been able to turn back the clock
hands-but ne was odd steve as a
term Of friendliness. He was the oldest
man in point of years in the little
democracy which is the T.-R. force,
and one Of the oldest as regards
length of service. Moreover he was of
that ancient period when the hand
compositor was monarch Of all he sur
veyed and the Jour printer found a
vacant case and welcoming hand on
the floor Of every "printshop." Steve
had made his pilgrimages across a
continent confident in the magic of his
rule" He had carried the banner
and known the ups and downs Of the

muster out of service an Industrial

when the end came Steve met it as hs

patiently quietly, bravely, making the

Steve had his faults, as who has not

him enemies or that lost the persona

kindly, obliging friendly man who die

THE SHORT BALLOT.
rGlenwond Onininnl

"
"The short ballot" is a misnomer.
The proposition is not to shorten the
ballot materially. 1t is to make some
Of the offices now filled by the people
sppointive. That is. the people are to
retire and the politicians are to get the
governor to appoint from list Of
"eligibles" Such concentration of pow
err would perpetuate in office regency
that might hold in power a set of pro-
fessionaI politicians from generation to
generation. Iowa people are not yet
ready to turn the state government
over to the hands Of commission.
They can manage their own affairs
Elk.
The above is well taken. We cordial
ly second the motion to have no polit-
ical ring and game TO select our state,
district or county officers. There is no
more just and tangible reason why the
governor should appoint the remainder
Of the state officers than there is that
the lieutenant governor or the secretary
! OF state should do it. We want no one
man power in Iowa backed by a lot Of
political schemers to perpetuate one
another in office The state officers
would all be picked out, term after
term by political clique until the peo-
pie would have no hand whatever in
the selection. And even the machine or
autonaton method of voting for gov
ernor would be mere ratification Of
the previous star chamber selection OF
the political clique. None Of Il. Such a
/ course would prove ten times worse
! than was the most corrupt practices OF
the old time caucus or convention sys-
tenn.
To shorten the ballot. IL the primary
is to be continued, we suggest this plan:
