tenance. management. and repair OF the
system of water distribution In the Dis
trict of Columbia or merging that fund
into the revenues OF the District. They
do recommend. however, and provide. in
the accompanying bill, that the expenses
or the Washington Aqueduct, which
brings the supply of water into the Dis
trlct. and its a,ppurtenances. including
the filtration plant. be hereafter paid
from this fund. making the total specific
charge thereon amount to S2b2. $50 for the
ensuing year.
THE water rates or rents for the fiscal
year 1917 are estimated at $69J,OOO, or
s+.a,510 in excess of the proposed speci-
fed charges against the fund which

MAKING THE EMULSION.

The job today is a new one for a
republican convention in Iowa. 1t is
to make a political emulsion between
elements that have lost political af-
finity in Iowa, Booze and water.
Il is going to tax the political chem :
lists 10 make a so of il. Unfortunately
from a party point of view the church
people and the dusty drys seem to be
irreconcilahle to the head of the ticket
and as irreconcilable to Wilson as a
leading convention candidate for at
torney general The task is to make
a platform dry enough to soak up the
wetness Of candidates. And that seems
to- be some job, friends some job.
No doubt they will do the best they
can at it. 1t is all that is left to do.
But at that the dusty drys are likely TO
object to the mixture as sort of polit-
ical "whiteline" and insist that while
the liquor has been reduced it still
contains an illegal percentage OF alco-
hol
Well, as Batiste would say, nous
verrongs,' which is French for we shall
see what we shall see. 1t is most en-
barrassing, especially so to candidates
and political brokers and leaders 1t
is as annoying and disagreeable as a
summer cold and as potential with
complications. But then, there it is
and here we are.
1t is unfortunate in year when the
head of the national ticket meets uni
versal approval and consolidated sup
port that the banner republican state
should be thus embarrassed. But as
mentioned in passing. what's to do
about it? In Iowa liquor and water
do not mix better politically than oil
and water do chemically. 1t will take
a lot of shaking to get a satisfactory
EN- ulsion.

IOWA AGAINST PORK"

The Iowa representatives in con-
gress deserve vote Of approval for
the stand they took the other day
when to a man they refused to vote
for the s43,0o0,oO rivers and harbors
bill. IN this respect Iowa has a better
record than Illinois, Michigan, Mime
sofa and Wisconsin. One or more rep
resentatives in each of these middle
western states voted for the bill.
This bill is commonly. known as the
pork barrel" bill. 1t is designated to
allow congressman to distribute
patronage ard 10 please the home
folks. The people hoped that in the
face of the extra expenditures needed
for the army and navy that the pork
barrel would be forgotten at this ses-
sion. Senator Kenyon of Iowa. alops
with others, fought the bill in the
senate and lost. The bill has been
thru a conference. passed again by the
house, and is now before the senate,
the last step in its progress. Whether
it wins or loses Iowa has the satisfac-
Of knowing that this state was solid
against it.

IOWA IS ON THE MARCH,

The Iowa soldiers are off to the Dor
der Goodbye boys, take keer O. your
selves.
AS you go take the assurance with
you that Iowa is proud of your prompt
response to the call, of your stalwart,
efficient manhood and sturdy patriot
ism; that she knows and understands
how hard it has been and is to leave
the folks at home. the business and the
employments Of peace and offer such
service as yours; that Iowa is informed
OF the difficulties you have met, of the
lneficiency in higher places that has
doled out second hand clothes and an
tiquated equipment to you and that the
fine spirit with which you have met
all embarrassments endears you TO her
and accentuates her pride in her sons.
Those grandsires of yours who
marched away in their young manhood
see themselves again in you. You are
fit TO represent Iowa on the border,
across the border and at home.
Here's hoping that each and all o:
you come marching home some day
without a vacant place in rank and file;
but we know that whatever you may
meet that you will meet it bravely and
face duty as Iowans have always faced
their duty in field or camp or garrison.
You are bred right. You are the select
seed of Iowa. Go to 1t.
Well be here behind you, those OF
US who are too old and too young and
too weak to go along; and those who
are strong and brave and ready to back
you UP when you need them. Holler
If you need help. Good as you are there
are thousands more like you in Iowa
If YOU run into serious trouble and
they crowd you just raise the long yell
for the boys at home. They'll hear It;
they're listening.
'Tention. Guide south! Follow the
flag wherever 1t goes. Iowa is on the
march. Hooray. Iowa!
