telephones and signal lights. When a

operator will press a button which

WILSON'S MISTAKE.

I
President Wilson is q man Of mature
years. More than three fourths Of his
life Is behind him. He rose to promi-
hence with noble woman at his side.
After he had reached the height OF
his career. his wife passed away, about
a year ago. Possibly nobody should
question his right to marry when he
pleases and whom he pleases, but this
newspaper dope is sickening. If 1t has
the approval which IL dealt out by tho
big papers Of the president, he is
heartless. but Of course he cannot help
what the papers are doing and saying.
The majority Of the people, judging
from remarks heard, consider the mar
rage OF the president as out Of keep.
ing with the respect due his late wife,
which makes all this gush even moro
nauseating A man with a grown fam
lily. with grandchildren at his knee, IL
lacking In something when he forgets
the woman who was a part Of his life
and the mother Of his children. when
he hastily casts of the past and mar
ries before the grass has hardly be-
come green upon the grave Of his
wife. The American people think far
less Of President Wilson than they did
the day before his enga gement was
announced.

MAIL ROUTE moNkEYlne.

The result of the monkeying with
mail routes which has been going on
here and there. in an effort to save al
the spigot in order that waste may
continue a. the buns is bringing loud
general complaint from the farming
communities which depend upon the
routes for their mails and markets. If
the assertions OF those who receive
mail or who live on mail routes and re-
ceive it too lote to be of use are to be
credited rural mail delivery has
ceased to deliver" From Cascade the
editor Of the democratic newspaper
who is also postmaster condemns the
reorganization at that place in severe
language. And his printed language
is no doubt improved upon from the
stand point Of emphasis when the
farmers on the routes talk it over.
Now the mail route has come to stay
and stay in effectiveness. 1t is a bust
ness proposition to every farmer. He
wants his market report as merchants
and others want theirs-!n the business
day. II isn't question of a letter
from the married daughter. He can
wait until the next day for that but
he wants his market early enough 10
sell his hogs on or order car for the
shipment of load of cattle. He has
the right TO it as much as any other
business proposition in the city has a
right to a business like mail delivery.
The mail routes have been satisfac-
to-y II their service. With few ex
ceptions the farmers have had thei,.
markets early enough to take advant-
age of prices. The mail carriers have
finished the twenty FIVE mile routes in
time for the last box to get market
while the markets were open. 1t has
brought the news Of the day, news as
important to the farmer as to other
business men while today was today
and not tonight. And they should con-
tinue to get it the same way and in
| the same time.

ENOUGH TO MAKE OUR HEADS SWIM.

If it costs 10 cents per mile to own
and operate an automobile. the autos
now licensed In Iowa at an average
of 1900 to the county are costing their
owners as much as it would cost to
pave every mile Of highway in the
road and byway on the bond issue plan.
In a few years We are going to double
the number of autos but We will still
believe that we can't afford even a
few paved roads in Iowa.
To prove it:
1t costs $50 per annum depreciation
on an $3.50 ear, $50 for tires, $50 for
repairs and $50 for gas and OIL Total
$3.50 per annum to own and operate a
car
There are 10000 autos licensed III
Iowa or 1900 average to the county.
At $3.50 per annum the cost equals
s525,000 per annum per county to own
and operate the automobiles now in
Iowa
There are 100000 miles of highway
of all kinds in Iowa, an average of
1860 miles to the county
It costs $500 per annum on the
thirty year bond plan for principal, av-
erage interest and maintenance for an
$4,000 per mile single track paved
road; or s525,ooo per annum to pave
ell the roads Of county.
The county roads are Is per cent of
all the roads
The most that anybody has ever pro-
posed !s % pave c few miles Of IS per
cent OF the roads and gravel few Of
the other roads but if we had paved
them all our fixed charge would about
equal the auto tax which we take or
voluntarily when we buy car and
feed 1t.
