SPEAKING OF OLD KING ksurE.

Al article in current pablicat ton
calling attention TO The Waste of the
Automobile met the complete approba-
ton OF a gentleman of the older gen.
GRAFTON. The article in question pointed
out -he cost of machines, repairs, gas
olene in their stunning totals, dealt
with the facility with which the ma
chine lends itself to the ruin and
spoliation of youth. But it quit there.
So did the elderly gentleman. With
the evidence only half in and before
the jury. Consequently the verdict
lacked justice
Now Il is all true, all that the article
anc its inoorser said of the auto waste
in money asd time and life and morals.
The motor car has been going thru
period Of intoxication. Ii has been
drunken with the new wine of speed
and pleasure and amusement; but it is
nevertheless the greatest advance in
intercommulicat ton since the steam
railway. Il has been too big and too
sudden to handle altogether sensiblv
But 1t has now reached its period Of
plain usefulness. become a settled
necessity, a working tool TO be used
daily as the railway and the horse and
the wheeloarrow. The waste is being
eliminated. Motor cars cost less 10
own and TO operate. Indeed, it is as
serted that a cheap and useful car can
be bought ard maintained at less cost
over period of years than a team Of
horses and buggy.
The thing has come with shock.
The money spent for autos and main
tenance ywouiG build 1900 miles OF
railroad, four trunk lines let US say
across the continent and they are
worth more 10 the commerce and pros
perity of the country than four such
lines would be were they TO be built.

a question of TIC fec. tina. there is
waste and observation-disclosures at pres
ent but Of eliminating waste and OBJ
jectionableness and getting the best
out Of one of the greatest gifts inven-
ton has made to mankind.
Objection was raised TO the railroad.
1t was dangerous. For the matter of
that il is still dangerous but it made
a mighty country out Of disjoinred
states and settlements. The auto
means to districts what the railroad
meant to states. When we have final

highways open TO the gas motor every
Gay II the year mean the same thing
TO localities that the railroad means to
states and cities we shall understand
what the gas driven vehicle brought
as its contribution to common pros

upon US.
In short let us take the goods the
gods provide with gratitude and sensi-

ognize all the Objectionable and un-
thrifty features OF the new transit and
set about correcting them. To sit like

simply to invite wet feet and humiiia-

UP TO THEIR OLD GAME.

dubuque Times-Journal.1
The way to discredit a bad law is
to enforce 1t.
And the way to discredit a good law
is to enforce it in an unreasonable and
oppressive way.
The railroads hate and wish to dis
credit any law which regulates them.
They hate the Cummins amend
menL under wiiiio;: they making
the travelling public make out certifi-
Gates Of the values in baggage checked.
It il admitted that the congress, In
passing the law, never intended such
a nuisance as the railroads are making
Of the law to travellers.
Is this nuisance in the law! Or have
the railways made OF the law a
nuisance in order that regulation itself
may become offensive to the people!
This is a phase of the matter which
we may all well take into considera-
ton.
There are some Indications that we
are suffering all these vexations be-
cause tho railways are wreaking their
spite on the people by an unreason-
able and illegal construction Of the
law.
For instance, baggagemen have been
instructed that they must not carry
corpse in the baggage. car under tho
old and established checking system.
unless a value is placed on 1t by tho
person in charge of 1t!
This is not reason. 1t is spite. It
is making the people sweat because
the people have presumed to think
that they ought to have something to
say about their transportation systems.

HARDING,s MISTAKES.


Probably the greatest mistake which
w. L. Harding has made in his pre-
liminary campaign for the governor
ship nomination is his severe criticism
of the good roads movement, In which
he remarked that paved roads would
be all right II they didn't cost any
thing, but that their great cost is pro-
hibitive for the majority Of taxpayers.
The cost is not prohibitive and expert
ence n VARIOUS parts of the United
States has proved that they are worth
every cent they cost The paving of
roads ali over AiaiT county ---.M 70. he
practical this year, nor next year, but
the present efficient system of road
building viii in few years bring
the roads TO uniform good condition.
and it will be found cheaper to put a
permanent hard surface on them than
to bear the regular annual expense Of
upkeep OF Dirt roads. Iowa can not
afford TO ignore the prospect Of hard
surfaced roads in the future. This
improvement: will not be forced upon
the voters Of the state, but the time IL
not far distant when the people will
not only want but demand them.

Mr.. Harding's utterances. the Courier
does not know. But il believes that
the people OF Iowa are awake to the
fact that the most economical method
OF htgwhay construction IS to build
permanent roads and that II Mr.. Har-
ding is going to make q campaign is
sue out Of mis- stand against hard roads
he will have a hard road to traval to
the governors chair.
If the time is ever going to be ripe
for the building Of hard surfaced roads
In Iowa, It IS ripe now when our SIS
ter states are building hundreds OF
miles Of such highways. Iowa can not
pave al her roads in year. But she
can make d beginning They will all

II eventually. why not begin now?
Mr. Harding says that Iowa spends
81 900. 600 a year on her roads and
bridges. That amount would pay the
interest on enough bonds to build all
the permanent roads that Iowa needs.

To residents of the large cities and many
