Beverly Barnes, descendant of
an aristocratic Virginia family, died
in poverty in an attic room at PECK
slip and South street, New York two
weeks ago. Later the identity of the
man became known and the circum-
stances of his death, which according
to the coroner, was the result OF as
phyxiation administered with suicidal
intent. Beverly Barnes was born with
the proverbial silver spoon in his
mouth, 65 years ago on plantation
near Lynchburg, He was educated
by private tutors at home and in Eu-
rope. When he became d man he mad
servants and land. His parents died
and he did not know how to manage
his estate, and piece by piece it was
swept away from him.

GRAVEL OR RAT HOLE.

The Greater Iowa Association is agi~
tating the use of auto license money
for surfacing roads. The federal aid
money, which will come to Iowa during
the next five years, will DE in excess
OF 100000. The probable auto license
money raised within the state in that
same period will bring the two funds
up to M5,000,000. This is almost as
much money as California has spent on
her magnificent system of paved roads
in the past five years and California,
by means of bonds, will spread the tax
over fifty years
II devoted entirely to surfacing it
would connect every county seat town
in Iowa with every other county seat,
north, east, south and west with a
graveled road at cost of $4,000 per
mile for gravel surfacing and it would
then surface eight more roads across
the state the long way.
If we wanted 10 use it for paved
roads as the California and New Eng
land people are doing this auto money
and Uncle Sans money in five years
time would pave state roads four times
across the state east and west and
three times across north and south. II
private property nearby should pay
for part OF the cost, possibly one
fourth, this auto money and federal
money would pave five times across
the state east and west and five times
north and south.
This may not be the best way in
which TO use the money but we have
now been collecting over a million a
year from auto licenses for the past
three years and nobody has vet seen
even beginning at surfacing Of any
kind. VIII s15.OO0000 during the next
five years be poured into the same
rat hole?

John Adams. second president of

The Railways and the People.

The president is to have a second
conference with the railway managers
today, and the hopes Of settlement
are said to be brighter. II he shall sue
coed in arranging settlement with
out sacrifice Of the merits, he will have
accomplished what seemed difficult,
IL not Impossible, task. and will be en-
titled to the country's thanks proper

In the wave OF municipal reconstruc-

The old notion that the best cop is
he who makes the largest number of
arrests is giving way to the new notion
that the best cop will make the fewest

or thru a sentimental aversion to the
use OF force. but beca use he so pre-

THOSE IOWA LAKES.

Three 1owans have been making a
tour OF investigation of the lakes Of
Iowa to report their judgment as to
what should be done to improve or
to drain the few scattered bodies of
| water within the state. The tour was
taken at the request of the legislature
made in it's recent session. Conditions,
it is said, are being studied from the
standpoint the effect Of drainage
| would have on the water systems of
the state and whether it would cause
increase or decrease in floods.
If only the conditions as stated have
been studied very important part
OF the problem seems to have lacked
proper consideration, No lake that is
susceptible Of improvement in this
state should be drained. We have
very few such spots and they should
be established and maintained as state
parks. The few outing places in Iowa
should not be destroyed. but made
permanent and beautified.
Alexandria, MINI, has a steadfast
population Of about 5000. It's sum-
mer population runs about 1000. 1t
gathers all classes of people to II

rent or own $500 cottage and mil

money at home and brings in money

other process Of keeping money at
home and Turing it from outside COM
munities. And doing SO much that is
more valuable TO the state than If it
had been drained and planted in corn.
So much for the sordid side
But there is another side. not SEN
timental but social
II parks and country clubs and
breathing spots are good things and
necessary to a good town, so are the
lakes and similar resorts 10 the state.
Moreover, those lakes belong TO future
generations and pos,erity has jus,
claim upon them. Further, we need
them to counterba lance as they may
the impulse of Woodworking, agri-
cultura! state, somewhat corn fed and
essentially practical in business
sense. In short We 60 not have
enough such places in Iowa. We
would be very thoughtless and greedy
to turn a handsome lake into corn
fields in a corn country where lakes
are scarce and rivers narrow. 1t is
as reasonable that the state should
preserve the beauty Of the state as
that the individual should maintain
and cultivate the beauty OF his estate.
The state cannot do better than 70
plant trees and enhance the natural
beauty Of Iowa lakes. preserving and
maintaining them 20 the people of
the state in perpetuity. Time was
when the pigs ran in the dooryards
and the potato patch ran up 10 the
kitchen door where now trimmed
lawns meet the eye Let's not dig I'D
