BRYAN OR BOOZE !. wHtcR7

The letter of William ]. Bryan in
reply TO the claim that Mr.. Bryan
favored appointment of w. w. Marsh
of Waterloo as democratic committee
man to succeed Judge Wade is likely
to accelerate the coming showdown on
the liquor question in the party in this
state. y brings the fight for con-
troll of the party councils between the
two factions and centers it Immediately
upon the proposed committeemanshi
of Mr. Marsh. Mr.. Marsh is popular
and prominent democrat in Iowa. Mr..
Bryan is all of that and much more.
A very large wing of that party in this
state will follow Mr.. Bryan as against
any candidate however locally promi-
nent and popular who favors the liquor
end of democratic politics. And this
present beginning is sure to be fought
out in the next party convention.
Mr. Bryan states a fact when he
warns his party that its only hope OF
success in Iowa for many years will
depend upon its action upon the liquor
question. Continued alliance with the
liquor interests is not only bad party
morals but suicidal party politics. And
as Mr. Bryan hints the selection of
committeeman at this time is by way
of a forecast of the future place and
purpose of the party.
Now what are the democrats of Iowa
going to do about it? Line up with
Bryan and Clarkson or keep up the old
partnership with the liquor interests?

The house has boosted the salary OF
railroad commissioners from $4,000 to
So, 900. If man IS worth anything as
a railroad commissioner he is worta

not to be in that office where he COM

times that salary.
1t isn't sure appeal to the voters
of this state to assure them that GER

tive and peace officers are supposed to
execute and not suspend statutes.

would be just as consistent for the Mg-
islature to repeal all criminal laws he
cause the police department in Sioux
City and the police department IN some
other Iowa cities are not enforcing
these laws. -
The plain truth Is, the private bank
ers OF Iowa defeated the bin necause
they do not wish any law which might
be used to compel them to be honest
and safeguard their depositors ann IN

there Is none. 1t is the rules OF the

all classes who would prey upon So

They all fail to see they are defeat-

pitfall for their own feet The rules OF
the game which they are making will
have but one result-they will not only
break UP the game. but they will be
used by the public later on to Justify
acts of reprtsals.

as to what laws were or were not to
be enforced by the executive whose
office is enforcement?
The office of governor Of Iowa Is al
ways an important one. Vt will be es-
pecially important after Jan. OF the

pnrtance to know just what laws any
candidate would suspend were he
charged with their enforcement.

their laurels in the Easter parade. Is
indicated by the careful preparation
for Easter made by rapidly growing
number of men.
One very noticeable feature Is the
widespread popularity of the single
breasted cutaway frock suit for Easter
and other Sundays.
The frock Is displacing the Prince
Albert in all parts of the country. and
is being taken up by men and young
men who never would wear the old
style.
Another angle Of mems clothing for
spring Is the quantities OF imported
fabrics being shown. The struggle
over seas doesn't seem to have affected
the fabrics up to now. Glen Ur-
quharts and Tartans are among the
favorites. altho the stripes are holding
on strongly.
In cut the tendency is toward broad
lapels. form fitting backs and straight
hung trousers: and away from padded
and stiff-fronted coats.
One standard suit style that is very
popular with young men has thirty
inch coat with a soft front. The back
fits in at the waist: and has vent.

Hats offer a wide variety: stiff and

younger men.
Diagonal stripes. some OF them quite
wide, seem to have the call in the early
showings OF spring neckwear. A large
number Of bows, in mixed colors. are
being shown.
Everything in shirts seems to incline
toward plain, soft effects: few t,lcks or

THE NEW ROAD SENTIMENT.
tVinton Eagle.l

A new sentiment has arisen in the
state regarding roads. What caused
it is unnecessary to discuss. The fact
that 1t exists is enough. After extern
sive discussion a start was made In
the legislature of two years ago. Prob
ably, NO Joint committee ever worked
harder than did the highway commit
tees OF the senate and house. 1t was
written and rewritten until the com
mittees believed II was IN workable
shape. 1t really established a new de-
partment in the state department. 1t
might have been made more arbitrary
in it's application, but it was thought
best to leave a large amount OF its
execution in the bands of the local
people. One of its bu!warks was the
highway commissioned is the safeguard
of the law The large work such as
bridges and county roads must be APP
proved by that commission. No longer
can local boards Of supervisors make
private deals. All contracts must be
approved by the highway commission.

AS a matter Of fact, bootlegging has
been reduced TO a minimum thru the
activity Of the police force, the con-
sumption Of liquor in the city greatly
cut down, and there has been less
drunkenness probably than ever before
since the old fort was located at the
mouth of the Coon to insure the peace

Foxes.
THE RULES OF THE GAME"
ISioux City Tribune.]
The Iowa state senate killed the bill
providing that all private banks must
submit to state inspection. The ex-
cuse offered was that state inspection
of banks is worthless. and the dis
patches say members OF the senate
who are also bankers. opposed the bill,
and openly expressed their contempt
for the entire bank examiner depart
ment of the state.
Many things are suggested by such
performance. The first and most
obvious is that the senate should inn
mediately introduce q bill ripping the
state bank inspection department out
of existence. II 1t is utterly worthless.
IL it has never yet prevented = bank
a bank which was engaging in sucn ir-
Irregularities, IL 1t has never prevented
any bank from failing because Of dis
honest practices OF been of any assist
ance in detecting and prosecuting those
responsible for crooked banking prac-
tices-then why have 1t? Why pad the
state payroll and expense account with
the men employed in that department
IL they are incompetent or Indifferent.
c.. hcth7
If the senate were sincere 1t would
do this-or It would take the alterna-
tive OF making the state bank inspsc-
ton department live up to its name.
The custer law might be made to ap :
ply to bank examiners; the proved
dereAction. OF any Official Of that de-
partment might be made q felony.
Many ways could be and would be
found to make state bank inspection
In Iowa vfrile II the state senate were
really sincere in its excuse for de-
feating the bill that would compel all
private banks to submit to state in
spection.
As It stands. the senate refuses 10

A FARM :R's ROAD FIGURES.
Times Republican:

4 IIleS-
The farmer is getting so much advice
III regard to paved roads it makes his
head swim. Now let us figure the cost
of paved road from Marshalitown to
Laurel To grade bridge and surface
said road with concrete brick or gravel
with a Travis binder would cost at
least $4,000 per mile. The land own
er adjoining to pay 40 per cent would
make $4,000 per mile or for the owner
of 1s0 acres it would be $4,000 for MS
share, on the twenty-year bond plan IL
would figure this way. Annual pay
ment on bonds with interest the aver
age would be SO per year; annual up
keep SO per mile a year. or 1920 for
up-keep and interest on $50 acres or
quarter mile OF road. These reports
are from the eastern states where the
material is handy and figured at
per cent grade.
Now if the editor owned a l6O-acre
farm along this road let us figure
what it would have to produce in order
to be a paying investment at 5000 per
acre at per cent would make $40 per
acre or $1,000. A man to properly
farm $50 acres would be worth at least
$50 per month or $500 per year: repair
plIlS on FENCES, buiiolilss anu iiisui
ance 5000 per year: taxes 500 per
