GREAT CROWDS At THE RICH.
LAND COUNTY FAIR

Judging from the numerous in
quiries coming to the Secretary
office regarding hotel accommod-
lions, etc, it would seem that the
whole country for miles around
will be here during our coming
fair. 1t is safe to say that with
all the eating places provided
on the fair grounds together with
the unusual preparedness Of all the
hotels and restaurants in the two
cities that there will be no cause
for complaint in that direction.
With favorable weather the 1915
fair with its many attractions of
high order will witness the larg-
est crowds ever assembled on our
grounds.

Des Moines, Jan. 30.--Members OF
the senate graft committee say that
they intend taking up seriously the
questions propounded to them by the
governor with regard to possible ex
travagance in the matter of extra
help in the legislature. They say that
they got from the governor just what
they asked fora candid, fair, manly
statement OF his views on the subject
of unnecessary employees. The people
of the state are entitled to know the
facts. The committee will undertake
to frame report that will put the
matter before the public just right
The whole controversy, however, has
lost Its force and in the whirl Of bust
ness will soon be forgotten.
OF the recess appointments made by
the governor, the names Of appointees
having been sent to the senate, all
have been confirmed without dissent
that have been reported on. The other
day when An executive session was
held the chairman Of the committee
having others in charge was absent
and no report received. Another SEES
sion will be held the coming week to
hear reports on the others.

THE SHIPPING BILL

England, France, Japan and Ger.
many admit that business interests OF
this country have right to sell ana
shiL, at the owners risk, anything that
they can to any nation at any time as
long as it is done with our own 1aclil-
ties and those we have gotten IN our
regular process of business. me aihes
say that we do not have right to aVali
ourselves, as a government, OF the op-
portunity that is now offered to Duy
German ships that are tied up IN our
harbors. The allies claim that they are
responsible for Germany's boats being
tied I'D in our cities. They state that
it is q part of their plan In fighting
Germany to make Germany's merchant
marine useless. They further state
that if the United States buys these
boats that are now useless to Germany
and pays the price of these boats 10
Germany that that is equivalent TO the
United States releasing these boats
for the use of Germany. We can use
to the full extent our own facilities and
those we build and construct, or would
have built and constructed If the war
had not occurred. But this government
will 20 too far If it takes advantage OF
a condition that has been created oy
the war, when the act of taking that
advantage defeats the war plan OF one
side at war and helps the other side.
AS Senator Root in eject says: we
as a nation have responsibilities that
are just as binding as those governing
an individual.

LAW ENFORCEME EMIT.

In his report to the state legislature,
Attorney General George Cosson
makes extended references to the ne
cessity for law enforcement and for
means to compel enforcement where
the tendency of local or subordinate
officials Ia otherwise. In this connec-
ton he cites the fact that Massachu-
sets has followed the lead of Iowa In
delegating to the attorney general ad-
ditional powers in the enforcement or
law and in supervision over the official
conduct of other officials.
1t has been demonstrated in this
state, in the opinion Of the attorney
general, that there has been need OF
some such powers as have been grant
ed to his Office. The authority has
been called into use on numerous oc-
GUS ranks have either been removed or
have been forced by public opinion to
retire since the new law became opera
tive. This fact is bringing about a bet
ter law enforcement, says the attorney
general

CZQrke,s Graft Charges to Get a
Complete Reply Fomthe Senators
entation Of the reason for the bill
~ ORA WILLIAMS
Special Dss Moines Correspondent for The Courier

entation Of the reason for the bill
to appropriate $4,000 for the use
Of the commission In the matter Of the
Iowa exhibit at the Panama Pacific
exposition at San Francisco was made
to the senate committee yesterday by
President Marsh and Secretary Clum
and others. The need for quick action
is recognized by the senators and the
leaders say that they intend to dis.
pose Of this proposition ahead OF the
other big appropriation bills. What
ever is done must be done very soon,
because of the fact that the exposition
will soon open.
The first bill to be killed by the SEN
ate in open session by vote Of the
body was whitmore's bill to compel
making written contracts for real es.
tate commissions. The bill was dis
cussed on an adverse committee re.
port. Contrary to general belief re.
port of q committee in favor Of In.
definite postponement may 60 on the
calendar or be brought up for imme-
diate discussion and under this the
merits of the bill may be considered.
So a committee report Is nothing
more than q recommendation. This
bill was killed on the theory It would
do more harm than good.

public welfare was sought and highly
priced because it was always valuable.
He possessed, in very marked de-
gree. the ability to get at the very
foundation Of matter under dis
cussion. When called in meeting of
men to talk over the different phases
of some problem confronting them,
Major Mahon would listen while the
subject was being discussed and at the
right time he would ask few ques-
tons that would bring out very plain
ly the important points for considera-
ton. He possessed to remarkable
degree the ability to perceive all
angles of a proposition before the
meeting, no matter what the topic.
He came to Ottumwa early in it's
history and entered into the struggle
to win what he could in a new terri
tory. His conception Of his duty as a
citizen was that of an obligation to
his country as well as his community.
AS young man, full Of vigor and
life, he enlisted in the civil war, par
ticipating in many battles and serving
through practically the entire length
of that struggle. To the state and city
of Ottumwa he has been just as loyal
and never shirked the responsibility OF
citizenship in any manner. He has
Nserved on different boards of the state
and also as alderman in the city coun-
Gil. He contributed time and money
to all public enterprises and did an
immense amount of individual charity
work of which the community in gen.
eral knew nothing.
1t is seemingly one OF the un.
fortunate things in the providential
plan that communities have to lose the
characters that have contributed large
iy to their building, but 1t Is also
fortunate that those communities 40
not lose the effect of the effort and
work of those characters.
Major Mahon's life has been one or
the prominent factors for the good OF
Ottumwa and has been and will be
for years to come an inspiration Tor
good. No one, either young or OLD,
was ever denied an audience with him
or attention from him when 1t was
asked for. This community, collect
lively and individually, feels in MS
death a great loss and. sincerely
sympathizes with his family anG as
SOCiateS.

RoosEvELTvs. COLOMBIA.

=
In the current number of the Metro.
polltan. ex-President Roosevelt ex.
plains why the United States should
not pay Colombia $25, 100000 in connec.
ton with the acquiring by the United
States of title to the strip OF land
across Panama in which the Panama
canal lies. Bryan and Wilson take the
stand that Colombia suffered damage
to the amount of $25,000,00O or more
through the incidents leading up to the
Panama revolution which made 1t pos
sible for this country to get the land
wanted for canal purposes.
In effect, Roosevelt says it Is beyond
him how President Wilson and Score.
tary Bryan can feel that Colombia
should be paid for something that was
bought of Panama. He says however,
that some officials seem to be possess.
ed of the idea that they always have to
do more for other nations than they do
for their own people. The article Is
written in the plain comprehensive way
that is characteristic of the colonel
and says that the man who says he
started the revolution in Panama tells
an untruth, and that this administra-
ton will perpetrate a grave wrong on
the people of the United States If 1t
pays Colombia anything for the Pana-
ma rights; that Colombia is simply try
ing to blackmail this country.
The colonel intimates that the Will
son administration is weak one.

STILL RUNNING BEHIND.

The administration row admits that
even with it's so-called war tax, it has
not enough money in sight to take
care of the expenses it has already
piled up or is about to contract The
indications are now that some $780,
OOO, 900 will be needed to balance &C
counts. The brand of economy that
the administration is using, is certain
ly getting some pretty poor advertis-
ing. Wilson went into Office with the
treasury bullying with cash. The ad-
ministration's methods emptied 1t SO
quickly that within two years phony
war tax had to be resorted to and
still there is an immense shortage.
The latest economy plan is to stop all
river and harbor improvements there
by saving some thirty-fve millions Of
dollars and to prune some twenty mil
lions out of the amount appropriated
for rural mail service.

Nevertheless it is held that the present
