THE cummlns TYPE OF CANDIDATES.

William Allen White is quoted as
predicting that were Cummins nomin :
ated-or another republican of similar
character and record-the progressive
who constituted the bull moose party
would return to the fold and become
active supporters of the republican
ticket. Theoretically, and in plain
speech for the matter of that, the pro-
Sressives have served notice that if an
other sort of republican shall be nom
mated the intention of the bull moosers
is to see that he shall not be elected.
And while the herd has been depleted

slider the next campaign and its prob

YOUR BANK ACCOUNT.
TBelle PLANE Union.l


Have you little money in the
bank? II not, why not? We will as
sumo, in the first place, that you
haven't. Do you know that you are
depriving yourself of feeling of Sc
equals? The workingman with a little
bank account, say, just enough to tide
him over for month or two, isn't
afraid of sickness or non employment.
He is a free man, and can look his en-
ployer and every other man in the face
without a fear that, without the ia
vor Of that employer or that friend,
he would be reduced 10 desperate
straits to make ends meet. The bank
account is the breeder Of self conf
dence. of efficiency, of happiness. Rich
men in their palaces. their yachts and
their automobiles are no freer, no
more independent. than the man with
the bank account. Every great econo-
mist bases his system of economy on
the fundamental fact that it is not
what is made that is the foundation Of
fortunes but what is saved. A man
has earned in q years time, just what
he has at tho end OF the year. The
rest has gone FOR expenses. whether
for necessities or luxuries. The net
savings Of a year are the years sole
earnings. The bank account, however
small, has peculiar way of making a
real man Of it's owner. It's pretty
hard to stand up straight and defy the
world with nothing to back up your
bluff but two or three meals ahead.
It's ten to one bet that the man who
is penniless and talks about the great
things he can do, Is a bob-tailed flush

JOE ALIENS DECREE.

lloNa lily 0ltlZen.
More or less humorous comment is
being made or the alleged fact that
the Pocahontas Record, in announcing
the candidacy OF Senator Joe Allen for
the republican nomination for the gov
ernorship, conferred upon him the de-
gree of Ill. D.
Probably this was merely typo
graphical error. Mr. Allen received
the degree of Ii. B. from the college
of law of the state university of Iowa
in 1895.
One thing is to be said for the de-
gree of bachelor Of laws-the one who
receives it is required to earn il thru
an examination of his legal knowl dge
gained by hard study. The degree of
doctor of laws is purely honorary, and
is given without reference to the legal
learning OF the recipient.
AS an index of practical proficiency,
the Ii. B. is worth more to Joe than
an LII D.

The reason is not far to seek. The
American people do not care to send
their money abroad to support war
fare They have better use for their
money than to send it forth to kill on
their neghbors. They do not care to
reap profits on bloody dollars. And

other than bloody purposes it would
not be wise to lend 1t.

THOSE SUPERVISORS.


It is difficult to understand why
the very officials who ought to be the
most enthusiastic advocates of the
cause of good roads and who naturally
would be expected to stand for pro-
gressive program of highway building,
should take such a reactionary step.
There Is probably political motive
back OF this vote by the supervisors. 1t
Is very unfortunate that politics should
enter into the question of good roads at
all. But If politics must necessarily en-
ter, the people of Iowa who are in
favor Of good roads ought to make
it a point to learn just what officials
have declared themselves against q
program of permanent roads building.
and should govern their votes accord
ingly at the next election.
There Is just one argument against
the building Of permanent highways
that these reactionary officials can
urge. That is upon the ground of
economy. This argument is SO stale
and groundless that it is hardly cred
ible that it should be advanced. Every
one who has given the subject q mo-
ment's thought knows that the very
costliest road system the state can
have Is the old dirt roads. The cost
Of their maintenance amounts to more
every year than the interest on a bond
issue, to say nothing Of the financial
losses that occur as a result Of the
roads being impossible thru about half
the year. The only economical way to
build is to build permanent roads. The
most practicable way to raise funds for
permanent highway building is thru q
bond issue.
IT'S THE RECORD THAT COUNTS.

PERMISSION NEEDED.


A convict of Fort Madison asks per-
mission of the state to sell curios in
order that he may help his dependent
family. One of the mysteries OF the
twentieth century is that convicts have
to secure permission to support their
families, instead Of being compelled to
do so.
Iowa is gradually getting onto a
new basis with respect to convict la
Dor but the family Of the prisoner
still comes last. 1t may exist in want
or live off the county. during the time
the convict is paying the cost Of his
conviction.
Under a proper system OF convict
employment, the prisoner should sup
port his family from the day he en-
tiers the penitentiary, and part of
his wage should cover the cost of con-
viction and the expense of his main
tenance by the state. After court
costs are paid. surplus earnings should
be banked, and held at interest for the
convict upon his release.
The man who leaves prison with
good sized bank account to his credit
is that much further removed from
the necessity or the temptation to re-
sumo a criminal life.
THE SUPER vISORS BLUNDERED.
fCedar Rapids Republican,
The county supervisors have written
themselves down as opposed to hard
surfaced roads in Iowa. 1t is clearly
a writing down Of themselves and not
writing UP. We will have to think
less Of them for doing It. They were
not called upon to sit in judgment and
adopt a policy for the state. They
seem to think that they can speak
for all the people, simply because
they are in office. The supervisor
system of caring for roads and
bridges has proven a miserable failure
in many counties. In some places
it has been honey combed with petty
and grand gratis, especially in the
relations with bridge men. The super
visor system Of working dirt roads
has not been entirely successful either.
We believe the supervisors erred In
placing their organization in such an
attitude toward demand that IL
somewhat universal In this state at the
present time. We happen to be
among those who are not in favor OF
unlimited expenditures. as proposed
SO glibly, by some advocates OF good
| roads. We believe in using business
common sense and not to expend mil
lions before we know what we are
going to get for our expenditures.
But we believe that we ought to be
working toward some definite ends and
/ those definite ends include some hard
surfaced roads.
