RIDING BOTH HORSES.
Tpes Moines Register and Leader.


The Chicago Tribune has taken up
the cudgels with G.. F. Rinehart, in de-
tense of alcohol. The Tribune does
not, of course, avow any such purpose,
on the contrary, 1t leaves a consider
able number Of loop holes, out Of
which to disappear when its temper
general purpose is as plain as q pike
the argument.
Incidentally it is worth noting here
in Iowa, where Mr.. Rinehart lived and
labored so many years, that he has
already gotten into the editorial col
umns of the Tribune. Mr.. Rinehart
is nothing If not aggressive, and 1t Is
plain that in addition to being agrees
sive he is becoming effective, for a
great many things have happened
since he went to Chicago to open his
fight against the liquor traffic to show
that Chicago is sitting up and TAX
ing notice."
But to come back to the Tribune's
argument. 1t is all fairly well con-
tanned in this single sentence: MT.
Rineharts statement does not clear
away the fact that the peoples to
whom the world owes the most prog
ress have been drinking peoples" TO
which it might be replied that the peo-
pies to whom the world owes the most
progress have all shot with the bow
and arrow, or to come little closer
in have all worn suspendeTs.
In fact the suspender analogy. which
we owe to bob" 1ngersoll. is very
effective one, for suspenders and plug
hats have both gone hand In hand
with the high water achievement OF
the race and no high water achieve
ment is recorded that did not nave a
suspender and plug hat accompani-
ment.
That a newspaper like the Tribune
should resort to anything so hope
lessly inconclusive for the purpose of
prejudicing a fight against the liquor
traffic in its home city affords another
proof where unfortunately no proof was
needed of the INDEPENDENTLY OF even
our most influential organs OF pubic
opinion in certain great emergencies
where big financial interests are pitted
over against the general public good.
The Tribune is trying to shelter the
Chicago liquor interests and the I'LL.
nois liquor interests against the sweep
of a movement that cannot now be
headed, without too openly espousing
their cause. 1t will find in the end
that the liquor interests are not I'M
| pressed with that sort Of service. Wnile
the friends of the home are keenly
alive to the will behind the deed.

Topics of the Times

Well what will Wilson say to Eng
land in reply to the statement that
American shippers have no just grew
ances? What was that row over in
1872?
If Thaw is now sane the way to
keep him SO is to leave him in the
sanitarium where the cure was eff
fected.
We don't hear so much Of the agri-
but the system of operation seems
somewhat similar. The agricultural
department hunts a different bug to
kill off pest, the naval expert seeks
too invent vessel that will sink the
latest waterbug. And so it goes. We're
for the agricultural department by
preference. How do you stand?
All the girls are anxiousy awaiting
the decision of the fair board whether
or not the Iowa l. n. G. will be used
as guards at the state fair.
Well, Germany got away with good
drive down the fair green. but the APP
proach upon Warsaw is yet to be made
and after that the difficulty of staying
put. But she certainly played well out
of that eastern hazard. Form always
tells.
How would it do to inform Great
Britain that if American shippers have
no right to the seas, British buyers
have no rights at American ammu-
milton houses?
AS to taking time by the forelock.
Senator Allen and LATE are distinctly
opposite. But both are fully definite
in their declarations.

A SUNDAY PROBLEM.

In conformity with the demand of
the Des Moines Chamber of Commerce
the police chief of that city will arrest
and prosecute all grocers who open
their stores on Sunday. 1t seems that
the little grocers have been opening
up on Sunday and supplying patrons
who had been negligent over Saturday.
Hence the policemen will be put upon
their trail and they will be brought
before the cadi if they don't watch out.
Without finding any fault with the
program which proposes to keep the
grocery stores shut tight on Sundays
off the sale of milk and eggs and bacon
and fresh straw berries from the man
who can spend his Sunday from morn
ing to midnight buying and smoking
cigars in any number of smoke
houses" and enjoying any particular
brand of conversation and companion
ship he may happen to favor. If Sat-
urday night carelessness may make
short breakfast and a meager dinner
seems like it ought also to create a
shortage of the smoke nuisance, what?
The probabilities are that the gro
ceries failed to draw a crowd of funny
boys to stand in front and ogle pass
ing women, make remarks to attract
young girls and swear like an army in
Flanders. OF course grocery open
on Sunday isn't necessity. But is
an open smoke house necessary to the
peace, happiness and well being of the
citizenry?
The assumption is that the grocer
ladled out the stuff and the customer
hurried away to satisfy his and his
family's hunger He didn't throw EN-
aces wild for couple of hours. 1t is
safe to assume that the grocery hadn't
any quiet place where a few congenal
spirits might play pitch for carrots or
rhum for cabbages.
Just the same the groceries should
keep shut on Sundays. But what of
the smoke houses? And why is it
worse to buy and sell hens eggs and
milk, to be scrambled for breakfast
than to purchase. sell or consume the
hen fruit in an egg matted milk?

THEY ALL DO 1T.
[1owa City Republican,


A Cedar Rapids man sent to Chicago
for an article he wanted, and being
connected with a manufacturing con-
Germ, business men started a ire IN
his vicinity. But he came back at
them. He showed that retail merchants
who resented his action, do not buy OF
home manufacturers. or from home
jobbers even when they can do as well
at home as elsewhere. This Is COM
mon condition. Most people buy where
they please The newspaper man is
confronted every day with merchants
whb send away for their job printing,
who would squeal like stuck pig II
the newspapers took out of town retail
advertising. There is not retail mer-
chant in Iowa City who does not buy
from out of the city, and they all know
it, There is not professional man
who does not do so,"and they all know
it. Women here go to Cedar Rapids
and Chicago to trade. and everybody
knows it. The women of Cedar Rapids
go to Chicago, those of Chicago go to
New York and New York goes to
Paris, or did till the submarine got
busy. We are mostly all business
hypocrites and everybody knows 1t.
And why not admit it and be good ma
tured. The fellow who does not trade
where he pleases is Il resident OF Fort
Madison or Anamosa.
But just suppose we undertook 10
regulate all such trading, where would
we land? If we are not to trade In
Chicago. why trade with stores owned
in Chicago, New York. Davenport and
st Louis. We have stores in Iowa
City owned entirely in these and other
cities, who have not a resident man
ager who can contribute a dollar to
any enterprise in the name of the firm
he represents. 1t is not hard to see
where such trade limitations would

people know about it, will get good
trade. He is the man who has nothing
to fear from the outsider. The people
would rather trade at home than away
from home. and when they go away to

has made them believe he has the best
goods at the best prices. The time has
passed when getting a stock of goods
and depending upon Everybody knows

THE BANKER WANTS HIS ROAD NOW.

The bankers of Iowa believe that
"the time has arrived for the building
Of d-surfaced roads in Iowa" They
declared in their state convention at
Davenport this week that it is time
now for Iowa to get out of the mud.
They are not content to put off in
ternal improvements of such vast i'm
portance to some future generation but
now is the time to act They reason
it from the fact that 1.-The people of
so many other states are doing it," SO
why not in Iowa?
The average Iowa banker is a heavy
mostly to farmers and his deposits
come mostly from farmers. The Iowa
banker would be the last man on earth
to place burden upon the farming
class and yet he believes the time has
arrived for hard surfaced roads be-
cause, as he says in his state associa-
ton platform, I'VE are confident that
our road taxes already fixed by law
are sufficient without material in
crease" and they are as any one knows
who has ever investigated. 1t is not
increased taxation so much as con-
servation of the taxes we are already
paying that will give us roads every
day in the year, instead of half the
days as we now have.
How would he do it? The Iowa
banker is no fool nor is ne given 10
recklessness in high finance but at
public bonds, the funds invested in
improvements of permanent character
and the debt discharged during the
life of the improvement" Who can
find any fault with that? Suppose we
were to gravel a road and anticipated
the taxes we are to pay for ten years
and saw to it that our debt was paid
in equal annual installments would we
not have better road than to spend
the money each year for grading the
sod in the center? Suppose we were
to pave the road by anticipating our
present taxes for thirty years and
paid the debt each year as the taxes
came due, would we not have the
pavement to use while we were pay
ing for 1t instead Of paying the taxes
as we are now doing for a road that Is
impassable with mud half Of the time
A banker can see the financial wisdom
in a public bond issue which dis
tributes the cost equitably over the
people who are to use the road.
But the banker is also somewhat OF
local statesman. At home he is
usually leader IL every public move
ment. He realizes fully the Difficult
ties in making people understand
what is best for the public good. Every
new railroad or interurban that ever
came into a county had a local banker
at the head Of citizens committee to
secure it. The banker can see that a
majority Of the people are not goine
to vote bonds for paving by his farm
| to be PAID 1of out OF tneI lakes. le
can see that to be equitable the owners
of property nearest TO the paved road
who get the most benefit must pay fol
that benefit by special assessment ever
tho part Of the cost is still to b.
paid from the general road taxes so HI
declares in his resolution that I'VE be-
lieve that the special assessment roat

There is a movement all over Iowa
on the part of the postoffice depart
ment to disturb and discontinue rural
mail routes. Practically every county
which government agents have yet
visited has suffered. There seems to
be little consideration for patrons Of
the service in the changes which are
being made. Whether this move is in
tended to aid in making good the de-
felt in the department or is to in
crease the number of routes in south
ern states, where people do not read or
write or use the mails, is not known,
but in all probability it is for both
purposes.
