DRY ARITHMETIC.

Sioux City, like many another city
in Iowa, is 10 lose her saloons on Jan.
l, but she is about to gain the whole
world thereby
Sioux City has 60 600 people and the
law has heretofore allowed her sixty
saloons.
1t costs $500 per annum to run a
city saloon. Rents. two or more bar
keeps, heat, light, lawyers fees, con-
sent money license, ice porter, dray-
man and political contributions with a
profit to the owner easily mount thar
high. At 100 per cent profit each sa-
loon must sell $4,000 worth of booze
per annum at retail 10 live.
Sioux City is paving some main
roads leadiog out of the city at cost
of $4,000 per mile. When her sixty
saloons are closed the people of Wood
bury county are going to save in their
booze bill the first year enough to pave
ninety miles OF their county road sys-
tenn. In two years and half they will
Ii ' SdN St IAAC Ipsl VI HdN ms w ooN
bury county's entire county road
system.
But saloons once closed are likely to
stay closed forever. The annual fixed
charges for $4,000 road on thirty
year bond issue for principal, interest
and maintenance is 5000 per annum.
The booze money which the people of
Woodbury. county are going to save
will meet the fixed charges on paving
the county road system of ten coun-
lies iii tie Eleventh congressional dis
trict with $40 900 roads.
Dubuque is to lose her thirty eight
saloons and save her booze bill. too,
and Dubuques booze money would
pave Dubuque countys county road
system in three years.
Davenport will save on forty three
saloons enough TO pave all the county
roads i'll Scott county in two years.
Cedar apids will save enough to
pave county roads in Linn county in
four years, Clinton in five years, and
Burlington in three years.
In short when Iowa goes dry the
people of sixteen counties containing
the erstwhile wet spots of our sixteen
largest cities will save enough each
year to meet the annual fixed charge
of paving the entire county road sys-
tenn of Iowa with $4,000 per mile
roads; enough to pay interest and
maintenance and liquidate the debt in
thirty years
OF course nobody dreams of any such
an amount of paving in Iowa but to
those who are preaching that hard
surfaced roads Will bankrupt the state
and confiscate the farms the money
we will save on booze in sixteen prin-
opal cities should be of interest.

AN EXAMPLE AND A WARMING.

| he lar - up between Iowa ana
northern Illinois against live stock
| from the northern Illinois section.
| Foot and mouth disease in the sec
! ton of the state against which the
| quarantine has been placed is the good
and sufficien. reason for the action.
/ The presen. condition of the Illinois
counties adjoining this state should be
tkaen as a plain warning to live stock
breeders ana owners that the eimina-
/ ton of this excessively dangerous and
disastrous mer ace to the live stock in
dustry is very largely up to the live
stock men. Without much DOUBT there
has been carelessness and neglect in
! Whiteside and other counties under the
ban and those who have been thus
negligent have involved the entire sec
ton.
Much agitation and protest came
rigid observance of precautionary and
corrective measures employed by Iowa
officials when Iowa was under federal
quarantine Political influence was set
working and the officials came in for
considerabl, lively opposition and con-
demnation. But the measures taken
delivered the goods. The campaign
against the foot and mouth disease in
Iowa was Immediately successful. Iowa
was ready To ship stock before the fed
era government was ready 10 release
the quarantine.
The seriousness of the disease is UNI
questioned. All this talk of its curabil-
ity need be given no consideration by
the ordinary owner and raiser of live
but that does not get the producer
of feeding stock or the feeder of mar
ket stuff anything when it costs more
to cure than to kill. Some fancier
with fancy priced cattle may of course
find it profitable TO spend money to
save a high priced breeding animal.
but the common cattleman is looking
for a reasona BILE profit on animals that
may be fed fast and marketed quickly
and the foot and mouth disease in his
herd means plain disaster and certain
loss.
The price of freedom from quaran
tine is vigilance and common conform
ity to the precautionary measures
which have been settled upon as nee
essary and advlsa BILE. One or two bull
heads can, if they are given leeway,
tie up whole section of live stock and
bring about general loss appalling
in its eventual total. There is as
much reason TO excuse barn burning as
to condone negligence or defiance OF
the regulations calculated to prevent
and control a disease that threatens a
most important industry and one which
affects every citizen of the country.
Take Wh!tesde county, Illinois. as
an example and likewise a warning. 1t
is a bad or least an unfortunate neigh
Dor, so dangerous that we have cut off
important commercial relations be-
tween her and Iowa.

leading democrat in the last legisla-
ture and deserves honorable mention
for consistency thru his political
career.
The Sioux City Journal wants to
know whether 80 per cent Of Iowa
voters could be depended upon to go
dry? These isn't any doubt of it. Iowa
Is dry state. Given showdown
between candidate plain wet and an.
other plain dry the wet would have
hard work ~ get the 80 per cent. With
several wet and dry candidates in the
field the percentages begin to wiggle
like the Dutchmau's little pig that ran
about so fast that he couldn't count
him.

to be fairM Gather friend all will be
well with the fair.

Topics of the Times

Des Moines has ''let out" fourteen
rest illicit LIQUOR dealers. No doubt
they considered the laws foolish" or
"non-forci5le' and will vote for Mr..
Harding If they get chance. Also
the firerens vote of Muscatine ought
to be pretty solid for the Sioux City
man.
Judge Richard, of Minneapolis, at
the Slavery hotel declared that Mime
sofa would be for Cummins, Dasins his
prediction CT the attitude Of leading
republicans Of that state. Which should
be good news in Iowa.
Canadian women have formed a
regiment of home guards which will be
uniformed in kits after the Scottish
fashion. Seems like that uniform
would be more likely to attract than to
repel an invasion of the dominion.
First Wilson called" Dr. Dumba
and now ne has requested his home
government to recall him. Will some
bcdy get Does hat?
No doubt MIR. Harding would prefer
a smoother highway for his candidacy
which seems likely to bog down.
The comparatively slight figure cut
by Mr. Roosevelt in present political
consideration and the much slighter
consideration shown Mr.. Taft are evil
dences of how rapidly cut flowers and
politicians out OF office fade
If Billy" Sunday manages to reform
Omaha even his sharpest critics will
have to hand it to him. If he even
makes a den. in it he will be going
some.
II Mr.. Kuefnle isn't wet or dry,
neither for or against good roads, just

other points within the state, provid-
ing the liquor is to be used for law
full purposes"
No doubt anyone who undertakes to
make such interstate shipments will be
called TO account by the Anti-Saloon
league and a contest in the courts
would be followed with interest-the
interest being lessened only by the
fact that after January l the state
will be totally dry and there will be
no Iowa breweries or Iowa liquor
dealers ard all liquors for private con-
sumption or for sale for medical pur-
poses or for altar use will have to be
secured from outside Iowa.

CARRANZA IS PLEASED
BECAUSE OF RECOGNITION

Veracruz, Mex. Oct. 11.-Gen- Venus
tianO Carranza, greatly pleased by the
Washington announcement that the
Carranza faction would be recognized,
announced that this action would frus-
rate efforts of the enemy to force
foreign intervention He added:
When peace absolutely is restored
and tranquility really established
throughout the republic, amnesty will
be granted to all these persons. but not
now. To permit them TO return at this
time would be to endure their machina-
lions within the republic.
THE immediate effect Of this news
will be a great moral strengthening Of
the cause Of the ConstittuiOnalists and
a corresponding disheartening of oppos-
ing factions There will be no more
formal battles. Fighting OF that sort
already has ended. but naturally the
struggle to put down minor outbreaks
and lawlessness must be continued for a
greater or less time in a country such
areas.
ALREADY these bands are disinteErat-
ing rapidly and their chiefs are sur
rendering. This development viii bring
the surrender of the leaders Of the
opposition, since the news OF recOgni-
ton Will remove from them further
hope Of success. This applies not only
to those who are actually fighting in
the field but to those enemies Of the
cause who are intriguing, both within
the country and abroad
News Of the coming recognition is
pleasing, since it will renew and
strengthen the friendly relations be-
tween Mexico and other nations"
