IOWA OPINION AND NOTES..

Now that there is unanimity OF
opinion against auto racing on open
| roads, would it not be a favorable time
to suggest that speedway racing should
be prohibited" asks the Grand juno
ton Globe. 1T serves no good purpose,
debases the crowds that look on ex-
pectant of accidents, and costs many
lives in Iowa each year. 1t is hard
thing to hit because influential parties
have considerable money tied up in
speedways. But it is far more de-
basing to spectators than prize fight
ing. Indeed there is not a good word
to be said for this modern sport.
1.-THE Cummins idea of preparation
isn't bad" says the Iowa Falls Citizen.
1T doesn't SO greatly increase the army
but it prepares for the necessary Off
GERS to direct an army. The very first
essential is competent officers. About
them an effective army can be gath
cred"
Governor Garst is a good man to
have behind any candidacy, and the
fact that he has assumed charge Will
be factor favorable to Mr. Cosson in
the gradual shaping of public opinion,
believes the Nevada Representative.
And prohibition has gone into effect
in Iowa, quietly and without causing
a mumur of excitement. And it will
not be SO hard to carry the amendment
when we're all sober!" suggests the
Knoxville Express. ..,.s
Doesn't it sound odd as you read
the Cedar Rapids Gazette to read under
police news: No arrests inquiries the
Vinton Eagle. ut will also be noticed
that lessening of drink also lessons
other crimes"
THE Marshalltown Times-Republi-
can says the democrats of Iowa are
showing sagacity and political acumen.
Il refers to Marsh, Meredith, and their
band who met at the Waterloo recep-
ton" explains the sAnamosa Eureka.
THE paragrapher on the Times Re
publican hasn't been out on the rural
routes where some of the democratic
farmers have refused to put up new
mail boxes and have cancelled their
daily papers because they get their
mail once a week at the old postoffice
addresses they refuse to abandon. 1t
will take sasacity, acurnen and few
other political endowments to square
some of the troubles"

DISMISSAL OF
dean Miller
NOW SOUGHT

Little Rock, June ia meeting
of the board of trustees of the Uni
versity Of Arkansas, to be held in
the old state capitol at 10 o'clock
Saturday, has been called to take UP
the differences between Dean j. H.
Miller of the department of agricul-
ture, and the Arkansas Profitable
Farming Campaign committee.
The committee Of the Little Rock
Beard Of Commerce having the Prof
table Farming Propaganda in
hand alleges that Dean Miller has
failed to cooperate in this
work, and charges that he has refus-
ed to meet with it. Dean Miller has
not entered into a controversy, put
ting in the most of his time in the
field, but he promises to be on hand
Saturday. ready to present his side.
Dean Miller came to the Universe
ty of Arkansas from the University
of Kansas a year ago. He was con-
sidered a very competent official in
that state and officials Of the Uni
versity considered it feather in
their cap to take him away from the
Sunflower state. He has been very
active since coming to Arkansas,
and having very pronounced views of
the way to succeed, most Of which
were founded upon work, and little
talking, and he had continued along
this line.

BLOOM Encourages
THE BUSINESS WOMEN
Secretary of Chamber of Commerce
Urges Club Members to Con-
tinue Their Efforts.

A large number of the members Of
the recently organized Business Wom-
ems club were entertained and edited
last nipht at business meeting of the
club in it's quarters in the Citizens
bank building by an interesting and
instructive talk by E. B. Bloom, secre-
tary of the chamber of commerce.
Mr.. Bloom was to have addressed
the club some time ago, but was pre-
vented from doing so by force of cir
cumstances. Last night, however, &C.
cording to members of the club, he
"more than made up for the earlier
disappointment" Mr.. Bloom spoke
ness women of the city to form an or
ganization, and talked of the very
great results that may be achieved by
harmony. Vocational training, uni
versal suffrage, good roads, the
library, the need of an auditorium
for the city, the necessity at an early
date of extending the city limits, were
all urged by Mr.. Bloom as things that
should be earnestly worked for by the
club and it's individual members. He
recited some of the great things that
have already been accomplished
through the aid and cooperation of
the women. and said there is no limit
to what might be done. if the women
will continue to extend such aid and
assistance.
The club transacted considerable
routine business. following the con-
clusion of Mr.. Blooms talk, for which
he was given cordial vote of thanks
by the organization.

Refuse Carranza's Demand.

Washington, June 15.-Secretary
Lansing's draft of the note, which
will refuse General Carranda's demand
for withdrawal of American troops
from Mexico, was laid before Presi-
dent Wilson for his approval today,
almost simultaneously with receipt of
news of another border raid in which
the camp of the fourteenth cavalry at
San Ignacio, Tex, was attacked and
three troopers killed.
Punitive steps for apprehension Of
those responsible for the raid were
left to the discussion Of the border
commanders, whose standing orders
are to pursue into Mexico any hot
trail they find.
The development, however, was i'm
mediately called to the attention of
the defacto government, and will be
one of the elements on which the adj
ministration's reply to Carranza will
predicate it's declaration that the time
for withdrawal is not yet ripe, because
Mexican troops are not properly polio
ing the border.
Anita meric an demonstrations
throughout northern Mexico, which
also back up this declaration, with a
growing seriousness of economic con-
ditions, combine to produce such a
grave situation that officials here fear
new internal upheaval soon, and
have taken further steps to protect
Americans.

GREAT DRAINAGE SCKEME.

The drainage of the inland lake of
81, 900 acres formed north of Amsler'
dam by the disastrous floods of JAM
a.y last has been completed. save for
one or two of the deeper 'polders
or basins in area in question, when
are to be free of the invading waters
by the end of the end of the present
month. The construction and in
stallation of the giant pumping
plant on the restored Zuyder Zee
dikes was carried out in four weeE :.
and the actual pumping took another
four. so that the problem of remov-
ing something like 20,O00,000 cube
meters OF water was dealt with III
a matter of two months only. So far
as Dutch engineers are aware. It's
is an unequalled feat in any othsr
country in the void. The advance
made by modern photographic engi-
neering may be gathered from the
fact that after the floods Of Fehru-
airy, 1925. the draining took until
July. 1926. lasting thus a period OF
seve nteen months.

Little Rock, June 15.-No report

afternoon, which was many hours aft

delay has caused considerable specula-
ton, but few expect anything but
dismissal of Dr. E. P. Bledsoe as sup
erintendent of the state hospital to be
the ultimate result.
Gov. G. w. Hays returned to Little
Rock from four-day visit to Camden,
and it is supposed that a conference
will be held with him before the de-
cision of the board of control is made
public. There are some who hint at
another compromise, but this is hardly
