On a convenient season, The
Herald hopes to be able to say a
boosting word or two about the
many fairs which are to be held
the coming winter. Amongst
these are the big fairs at Tampa
and Jacksonville and the county
fairs at Pensacola, DeFunialS
Springs, Live Oak, Ocala. Orlando
and Miami. The Herald is thor
oughly in favor of all these fairs,
as they give an indisputable ocu-
lar demonstration of Florida g adj
vantages and resources and con.
tribute intellectually to the settle
ment and development of the
state. There ought to be Desc
to county fair at Arcadia in fact
it should be a tri-county fair, with
Polk, DeSoto and Lee counties
participating. County fairs should
be held Immediately preceding the
great fairs in Tampa and Jack
sonville so That the exhibits could
be sent afterwards to the big fairs
in those metropolitan centers.

"Frigid" is the charge against

a campaign for votes is serious
handicap. The Herald, however,
knows Messrs. Myers and Hudson
and regards them as very amiable
and companionable gentlemen.

up the sleeves of members of the
Legislature.
The antisaloon forces are not wholly
agreed as to the advisability OF either
seeking to amend the constitution or
to repeal the 1nulct law. Opposition to
the constitutional amendment plan is
offered on the ground that the same
effect can be secured by repeating the
mulct law and making operative the
old prohibition law Of 1884. But the
mulct law itself has many fast friends
among the drys, who declare that the
temperance cause is making more
substantial progress under it than it
ever could hope to make under state
prohibition; that if it is given a few
years longer lease OF life, it will put
every saloon in Iowa out OF business,
end, incidentally, that reform thus
brought about by city and county OPP
ton will be more effective than pro-
hibition that has been forced upon
certain sections under protest.
Others besides extremists, how
ever, have some ideas as to the regu-
'lation OF the saloons, and prohibition
lists themselves, if they discover they
cannot secure either favorable action
on prohibition amendment'or on the
repeal of the mulct law, will suggest
restrictions to be added to those under
which the liquor dealers of Iowa are
doing business at the present time.
Industrial Commissioner Garst, for
instance, has prepared a bill to de-
Drive the saloons of the right to sell
anything but malt and yinous liquors,
which would bar everything but beer
and light wines. Mr.. Garst advocates
such law On the ground that it
would lessen the, number of industrial
accidents Welker Given, his secretary,
who has drafted the bill, is credited
with having originated the idea on
which the mulct law was based.
Another bill will seek to cut the
number of saloons almost in half by
amending the Moon law so that it will
allow only one saloon to every 1000
population instead OF one to every
1000. Another would require the con-
sent of Is per cent instead of SO per
cent OF the voters to make valid
saloon consentSpetition in cities of the
first class. Still another will propose
to close the saloons at Z p. m. on Mon
days, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thurs
days and Fridays and at IL noon on
SATURDAYS, in the hope of preventing
the laboring man from spending his
weekly wages over the bar.
Objection is offered to the present
consent petition system on the ground
that it breeds trouble and ill feeling
between neighbors and upsets COM
and another effort probably
will be made to induce the legislature
to order the secret ballot and ma
jority vote as a.substitute.-Sioux City

Farmers Wanted.

Uncle Sam is looking 1or several
hundred practical farmers to take up
homes on the irrigation projects he
has been building in the west. The
land is free, but the law requires set
tiers to pay their share OF building the
irrigation system, and for this reason
a moderate capital is necessary. A
practical farmer with from $1,000 to
$4,000 should have no trouble in ac-
curing one of these farms and putting
it in successful cultivation.
Under the new extension act the
settlers are allowed twenty years in
which to pay for their water right,
and no interest is required on deferred
payments. Details concerning oppor-
tunities and terms will be furnished
upon request by the statistician of the
reclamation service, Washington, D..
C.
The farms are located in Idaho, Mon
tana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Wyom-
ing and Nevada and offer opportuni-
ties for citizens to establish homes in
a growing country. Adjacent farms
are under cultivation, railroads have
been built, schools and churches estab-
lished. telephone and rural free de-
livery are available and most of the
hardships of pioneering already have
been overcome.
Alfalfa is the big crop, although
grain and sugar beets are profitable
and in some sections truck farming
pays well. Livestock and dairying
are the principal industries.

Gus things that may happen may sug-
gest the idea that his silence to the
newspaper correspondents is not be-
cause of any antipathy to them, but is
born OF a nervous fear that they will
find cut how little he knows.
These facts have lead a great many
people to the belief that Mr.. Bryan is
d, useless official and an incumbrance
TO the administration and the part he
plays in the history of these four
years, which will some day be reveal
ed. is a great one. AS secretary of
state he is failure, but his holding
that office has enabled him to perform
public service.
Mr. Wilson's amazing success has
been theme of general comment and
surprise, especially in view OF the fact
that previous democratic administra-
!, tons have been wrecked by oDposi-
ton in their own following. There has
been no revolt against the president,
except the one now beginning over
patronage. He has put through his
entire legislative program without a
serious hitch. This success of the adj
ministration,g unparalleled in history,
has been largely due to Mr.. Bryan.
Because of him this administration
has been able to reverse the record
OF. the democracy and hold the party
together He has forced his great fol-
lowing into line, stilled its murmurs
and held it fast. Whenever an admin
.istrafion measure has been proposed
Mr.. Bryan has chained to it the demo
Gratis Of the west and south, in some
gcases against their inclinaticns. He
has used his influence over the Bryan
following in congress, which is prob
ably more than half the democratic
membership, so that Wilson measures
have met with no opposition from
them.
That is why Mr.. Bryan is SO busy
all day long-not with diplomats, but
with politicians. He is the man who
guides the administration over the
reefs. He has saved it from peril
time and time again. For the duties
sof his office he has no appetite, but
the one thing wherein he is proficient
he is doing with skill and success.
The duties of his Office are largely dis
charged by Mr.. Wilson, who owes him
sfhe heaviest debt of gratitude presi-
dent can owe to a political manager.

CORN AS FOOD.

Sending a brigade Of cooks to
Europe to teach the natives there to
eat corn is only renewing an expert
ment tried in times of peace. Corn
Cake Murphy gained immortal note
by his efforts along this line, While
Clark Z. Carr and later Maurice Egan
did much to give the Europeans no.
tion Of the delights of corn as a COM
estible. These apostles of new
gastronomy for the people of Europe
met with the obstacle that has SO far
proved insurmountable. Prince and
peasant alike associate corn with
stock feed, and therefore decline it, ev-
en- when presented in it's most attract
i've form. 1t is hard to overturn age
old traditions in the matter of meat
and drink.
But corn is really food for the
gods; in nutritive value it is but lit
tie behind whole wheat flour, con-
tanning within s per cent as much car
|sbohydrates and within per cent as
much protein. Much of the food value
of wheat is sacrificed in preparation
of -four to the end that our dainty
appetites may be piqued by the
snowy whiteness of the bread. Thus
for bulk, good corn bread is quite as
nutritive as is the wheaton loaf. When
it comes to appearance, a plate CT
Johnny cake" surely can not be less
inviting in appearance than platter
heaped with kartofel brod." So much
for the looks of the comestible.
Many ways of cooking corn are
known, but the simplest are the bet
ter. A sturdy race of pioneers throve
on mush and milk and corn pone and
hoe cake. Civilization and luxury
have led the children of these pioneers
to look with disdain on corn, and to
prefer to secure its great health-giv-
ing proerties through other mediums.
We have been taking our corn by way
of pork and beef. Now, that this pro.
cess is becoming really expensive,
wouldn't it be good idea to educate
American as we'll as European taste,
to the end that wider usefulness be
found for the unquestioned king Of
American crops? If corn is restored
to its proper place as an American
food, it will help solve the cost and
increase the joy of living.-Omaha Bee
