DEMOCRATIC PLEDGES BROKEN.

The Boston Herald says that from
the advocacy of some issues President
Wilson is estopped by party history
Or tradition. 1t will be news to the
American people that party history or
tradition or party pledges or personal
promises can estop President Wilson
from anything. During his campaign
did he not personally promise sup
port of frea~tolls for American coast.
wise shipping through the canal and
also assure the people of the country
that "pitiless publicity" would he his
policy in administration? Did those
promises estop him from pursuing a
directly opposite course? Did not his
party platform promise economy and
maintenance of the merit system in
the civil service? Were not both OF
these pledges broken with his APPROX
al? When personal and party pledges
on which the ink is scarcely dry do
not estop President Wilson, what Pc
culiar power can there be in party
history and tradition to bar him from
changing his attitude over night on
any and all subjects according to his
varying moods or the shifting OF the
weather vane?

1t is refreshing to note the belliger
ent attitude few Of the democrats
in the house and senate have assumed
now that premonitory quakings warn
them they are about to be pitched in.
to oblivion by nation wide revulsion
one year hence.
Senator Furnifold Simmons, OF
North Carolina, chairman of the SEN
ate committee on finance, now swash.
buckles around in suit of borrowed
armor four sizes too large and de-
clares himself for a huge bond issue

tofore Mr.. Simmons espousal of the
cause Of national preparedness has
been about as ardent as that of a Ken
lucky colonel for the HObsOn anti-red-
eye amendment.
But while Furnifold has glimpsed
enough of the light to encourage him
to take his place in the sun, his fell
low statesman and coadjutator, Rep
resentative Claude kitchin, still snug
giles the Bryan dove to his palpitating
bosom and strives with soft accents
to smooth the wrinkled front of grim
visaged war. Claude is the next chair
man of the ways and means committee
of the house. Thus we are to have
the pleasing spectacle Of two tar
heeled, incense-swingers, each chair
man of the most powerful committee
of his respective branch of congress,
differing in diagnosis of national symp
toms. When such democratic leaders
disagree, who shall decide? Answer:
The republican party in Q9l7.

URGES SHIP PURCHASE BILL.

Washington, Sept. t. (SpeciaD-
The president has ordered the inter
state commerce commission to inVes-
tigate the transportation facilities and
rates between this country and for
eign nations. He expects to use the
information in his renewed fight for
a government owned merchant marine
There is a strong legal question as to
whether the interstate commerce COM
mission has a right to inquire into
the necessity for the governmental
purchase, financing or operation OF a
merchant marine.
But, whether the action is legal or
not, it goes to show the logged per-
sistence of the president. The ship
purchase bill was never demanded by
any party platform, it never enjoyed
the favor of any considerable group
OF people, it was brought forward as
a personal scheme Of the president
and McAdoo, and by presidential pres
sure it was forced through one branch
of congress, only to meet defeat in
the senate through the courageous re-
sistance of the republican minority,
aided by few rational minded demo-
Gratis. Since then the business men
of the country--in whose interests the
president assumes to be acting-have
declared emphatically in opposition to
the scheme.
Yet the president persists, and he
to employ the power and in
fiuence and activities of any govern
mental agency in his attempt to force
this obnoxious measure through con-
greSS.

Street Manners.

An elderly man was walking down
the streets OF this town one day when
he encountered a group OF children
some 10 to IL years old. They were
walking along the sidewalk four
abreast. Busy with their prattle they
filled the whole sidewalk. Grandfatll-
er had to turn out in the gutter. he
turned and looked at them as they
passed and growled out something
about that kind of thing not happening
when he was a boy.
Incidents like these are not confined
to children. One often sees people of
mature age, or even persons OF some
standing and prominence taking up
the whole walk.
Having to turn out for such persons
is of course q tritiing matter, invOlv-
ing no physical effort But it jars
ones sense of fitness and suggests an
arrogant habit Of mind even though
such things may be done unconscious
ly. II people who walk along the
street would be more careful TO- OBJ,
serve the rights OF others, it would
remove some mental friction and make
them seem more like ladies' and gen,
tlemen. y n.

NEBRASKA HAS iT.

Democratic control Of the state

state treasurer because of the latter's
refusal to pay the warrants OF other
departments where specific apprO.

state legislature. Appropriations made
for certain departments have been
squandered, the state treasurer is gov

this is merely the interposition of a
"technicality." Some other states

IOWA AND LINCOLN HIGHWAY.

Clinton, Sept. l6-(Special to the Re
be done to improve Iowa's section OF
the Lincoln highway short of actual
hard surfac;ng has been done. Cats
and fills, grading, dragging, scrapine
have made the Lincoln highway across
this state almost a railroad grade,
wide, smooth and in dry weather prac-
tically perfect. Yet we all know that
a few hours rain serves to make all
OF this expensive work useless. One
is foolish to attempt to drive the Lin
coin highway in Iowa during or i'm
mediately after heavy rain. The
very places where the most work has
been done are then found to be the
worst. After every rain the state Of
Iowa pays thousands of dollars in
cash and time and labor putting the
roads into shape again. During the
rainy spells translate tourists and
farmers traffic alike is forced to wait.
3 Last year, our farmers contributed
ID Billion dollars to the wealth Of Iowa
and this. year the sum will be. larger.
1t would be larger every year If the
cost OF hauling their products to mar
ket over tlnimproved roads could be
cut in half or still, greater reductions
worked by hard surfaced roads. THE
present waste in this respect is enor.
nous and is well realized
In 1915 Iowa had 1O7 900 registered
automobiles. To date over 100000
have registered this year; that the
number of cars in Iowa will pass $780,
600 before the end of the year seems
certain. These cars represent an in
vestment OF at, least $150,OOO,000
which is practically worthless every
time it rains.
In addition to this vast number of
locally owned cars, the Lincoln high
way is bringing into the state every
month an increasing number OF cars
from every part Of the country. These
tourists bring food of new wealth
to tho state More important than
that they carry away and spread to
the ends. of the nation the story, good
or bad, of IoWa's roads.
To remedy conditions in this state,
nothing but legislative action is need
ed. The per capita wealth on the
farms is 1852. When our counties
can anticipate by bond issue for per
manent road building the road build
ing revenues of years which under
the present system are wasted we will
have permanent roadyin Iowa, both on
the Lincoln highway and elsewhere
and our farmers or our tourists can
move where they wilfT be it wet or
dry. When our state law is brought
up to date our roads will be.

The County Fairs.

September is county fair month.
These gatherings, theoretically con
Quoted to promote scientific agricul-
ture, are kind OF combination Of
neighborllood reunion, midway amuse-
mcnt features, and horse racing. M
Ofsrecent years there has been some;
tendency to return to the more edu-
cational fair. 1t is great chance for,
the agriculture colleges to get q
crowd of men together to hear what
can be done with scientific methods.
A great deal of money is commonly
distributed in the form OF premiums
to>good stock. AS the farmers who get
these awards are literally advertised,
some people say they should be will
ing to show their cattle, swine, and
horses for the award OF ribands. But
making the round of the fairs with
herd of stock is laborious and costly
proposition, besides taking good
deal out OF the animals. Anyway the
farmers won't usually do it without a
money return.
A display of blooded stock should be
an incentive to good methods i'll ami
nal husbandry. 1t should help teach
the farmers boy that mOngrel animals
are Improbable and may not even pay
their own board.

Autumn Philosophy.

TO some Denison people the autumn
months bring chiefly thoughts Of de-
cay They observe the fruition Of
crops and vegetation and the falling
of leaves, and the end of a season i'm
presses them with thoughts OF de.
cline. In cold climates the autumn
brings foreboding thoughts of chill
winter winds and SHOWS.
But to people who are able to live
from day to day in the present, no
season seems more joyous. 1t is the
period of harvest when mans labor
has brought its complete product, and
there are rejoicings over tasks finish
ed and toll rewarded. Nature puts on
her most golden >Golors. These are
transient, but one should think of the
present beauty rather than the future
collapse.
