IOWA BETTER THAN CALIFORNIA

A large number of people persuaded
themselves early in the winter that
it wa advisable to escape the rigors
of the climate here and to spend the
wintee' in California If reports are
true, Iowa is preferable to California
as q place to spend the winter. The
weather of late on the Pacific coast
has seen record breaker so far as
storms and rains are concerned. With
III tue last week so much rain has
fallen in southern California that

We are prepared to assert that peo-
pie who have spent the winter in

There are quite as many reasons why

Denison's Paved Streets.

H. E. Frederickson, state consul for
the Lincoln highway in Nebraska, de-
clares that 100000 automobiles will
travel on the Lincoln highway in 1914,
making long distance tours, and that
10000 will pass every prominent por-
ton of this road.
This will mean an average of about
fifty or sixty automobiles passing
through Denison, and as Denison is
quite stopping place, much money
will be left here, and we may see good
results of the highway. This feature
alone is important, to say nothing of
the civic pride that should be shown.
Denison is prepared to entertain the
tourists, our hotels and splendid
garages furnish ample accommoda-
tons, but how about our streets? What
will the tourists say of our streets as
compared to the cities through which
the Lincoln highway passes? A few
blocks of pavement throughout the
business section would fit in very
nicely with our hotel and garages and
splendid stores.
It's time right now to start prelim-
mary proceedings, and PAVE.

MExico,s LATEST SENSATION.

Conditions in Mexico are constant
ly growing worse. The policies of the
administration have been one not cal
culated to bring order out of chaos
nd as was to be anticipated matters
are becoming intolerable. President
Wilson and his prime minister deter
mined long time ago that Huerta
should be eliminated from public af-
fairs in Mexico and an ultimatum was
given that he should withdraw from
public authority in that country, but
Huerta was unable to discover how
it was that President Wilson or any
member OF his cabinet should assume
to dictate who should rule in Mexico
and as long as they were unable to
furnish him a reason for assuming the
control of the affairs of that country,
Huerta detied them and seemingly the
Mexican people stood by him in his
decision. Huerta has proved himself
a great character and has been able
to Withstand all of the distractions
offered by the President and his cab
met.
The latest sensation is the alleged
assassination of one William S. Ben
ton, British subject, SO it is claimed
by General Villa, head of the rebels
in Mexico, but it begins to look now
as il tbe gentleman who suffered death
placed himself in an attitude where
General Villa was acting in selfde-
Tense in what he did. The record of
the man whose life was taken was not
above suspicion and as soon as this
phase of his life became known sym
patty WHICH otherwise would have
aroused intense indignation was with
drawn and little demanded in the way
OF gaRaration. If riot and bloodshed
continue in that country it would not
be surprising if the nations of the
earti. will demand of President Wilson
that he endeavor to restore order in
Mexico and if that comes many who
have been blindly worshiping at the
shrine of the President will regret the
course which he has pursued and will
then see that he is not equal to the
emergency.

EFFICACY OF PRAYER

Joseph G. Cannon, the statesman
from Danville, ILL.,, made statement
last week at dinner given in his
honor which will probably cause him
some embarrassment when he comes
to make an effort to run for office
again. He said in substance, that
there are great many Deities, about
as many as there are individuals. He
said he observed that people prayed
to their Deities, but he had to find the
first instance where such prayers
were answered. He said he was will
ing to admit that people who prayed
thought they derived benefit from the
prayers they offered In making this
statement Mr.. Cannon put himself
in the class of infidels and at once
arrayed himself against the Christian
world. There are thousands of good
mothers in the land who may not pos
sess the intelligence of Joe Cannon,
but they are quite as sane and who
are willing to testify to the efficacy
of prayer and with uplifted hands
will say their prayers have been an
swered.
swered is to asert that the Christian
religion is delusion and that millions
of protesting Christians are deceived
and deluded. Almost any community
can bring forward an army of men and
women whose word would be taken on
any question in court and whose
testimony would consign ment to the
gallOws and these people are willing
to place themselves on record and to
personally give their testimony of in
stances where they know their pray
ers have been answered The testi-
moDy of these people that they person
ally know that their prayers have
been answered will quite offset any
statement of Mr.. Cannon that he does
not know of an instance where pray
er has been answered.
While Mr. Cannon has a great re-
cord as a politician and Office holder
and has done much to place the
country under obligation to him for
public services rendered he will find
that he has been SO busy securing
public advancement that he has lost
sight of the more important question
of preparing himself to meet the God
which he challenges as not being able
to answer prayer.
This latest utterance of his will
prove a disappointment to many peo
pie who heretofore have not only re-
spected but greatly admired him.
When man IS years of age places
himself on record as he has done by
his recent statement, he becomes an
object of pity rather than one to be
censured.

winter, with such a winter as we
have had, as to stay out there
and suffer the Inconvenience of
the cold damp and rainy season which
has prevailed there. When a person
travels through California and sees
the bridges OF immense size spanning
dry runs they wonder why the neces-

son makes it obvious why the bridges
are constructed. The dry runs become
irresistible and raging streams for
the time being and without bridges
travel would become impossible.
