WHERE GOES THIS MONEY.


While We are listening to a body Of
men, organized as some kind of
Taxpayers League, and considering
their drivel about good roads and the
cost thereof TO them, We are reminded
that the owners of automobiles in the
state, 10000 of them, paying the state
about s1.700, 900. ought to have a good
deal to say about good roads and are
saying nothing. OF the s12, 100000 or
so spent on Iowa roads each year. the
automobile owners contribute about
one seventh--and without kick. They
are willing, it would seem, to let the
money be wasted. rather than stand up
for dollars worth of work on the
roads for their dollar. It's about time
they were organizing a taxpayers
league for the purpose of insisting that
their money be used for the purpose in
tended, mad used intelligently and with
economy.
When the automobile tax law was
passed 1t was intended that the funds
to be secured be used to augment those
already raised for road purposes. It
was thought this would insure better
roads for Iowa But county boards i'm
mediately this was done, instead OF
keeping up their levies for road pur-
poses reduced them. in some cases to
the lowest possible point and instead OF
the million and half extra money for

A VANISHED HAT.

Out this side of the Western Reserve
the silk hat, vulgarly known as the

sure some folks keep one on hand to
play at full dress with but usually 1t
is only a crusher which is to the silk
hat what a motorcycle is to double
six Even then the swallow tail and
the crusher keep company with every
day shoes and ride in street cars in
stead of cabs and serve simply as awk-
ward distinguishment on occasion. The

peared. The judge who wore silk

in evidence much. Nowadays when the
ordinary observer spies long coat and

brim, shining like a nigger's heel, it
had an air with it, worn rakishly it de-
noted high rolling, set squarely across
the brow it spelled preacher. one angle
argued gambler. another one thing and
so on thru the combinations. Nova
days it is hard to tell a preacher from
sport or a professional man from a
tin horn by his clothes.
But all that is an evidence of good
sense and the conclusion that it is bet
ter to be negligent and comfortable
| than to be stiff and ridiculous. Folks
will live longer and do more work in
negligee shirts than in the battleshiI
armor of stiff collars and starched
shirts: they get farther at less effor,
in wrinkled palm beaches than ir

than in plugs. Let the silk hat go with
other instruments of torture like

Grimes wore all buttoned down before
on hot day. We can get along with

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL SHIP.

The convention is 10 be commended
attorney general. Havner has an ex-
cellent record on the points vital to
the office in Iowa. He has been a
law enforcer, is a good lawyer and
has the confidence OF his professional
associates and those who know him
best among the voters. Havner should
be elected. There isn't much doubt that
he will be for he should get the tenn
perance vote Of the republicans and
10 go except TO GARRISON who is as dry
as Havner. Havner had the support
OF the drys in the convention. He got
certain wet support also for reasons
satisfactory to the Harding element.
But if Candidate Wilson shall com
plain that he was betrayed in the house
Of mis- friends he will find plenty OF
sympaThiZers and those who are not
sympathetic to agree with him. This
outfit with which he had FASTENED To-
ally himself seems TO have used him as
the county politicians We're wont TO
use candidates for county school su-
perintendent-as trading stock merely.
Scott county, where he had had pledges
and where he had given assurances
Satisfactory" to Scott according to
Reed Lane and whose delegates had
been informed that Wilson would never
cross the border of that county if he
should be elected, deliberately crucided
Harding holiday in early November.
Then too, the announced winning can
didate for committeeman in the Elev-
enth may feel somewhat as Wilson
may be presumed to feel; for he also
went home holding his political viscera
in with mis- hands. 1t was a day Of
burnt offerings to the dry vote in the
interest of the head of the ticket.
But the Havner nomination was the
best that could have been made, no
matter how it came about. Mr. Havner,
however, need not overflow with graft
tude to the wet acquiescence 10 his
nomination. He was the pest looking
horn Of wet dilemma, q dry antido.e
TO wet candidate, the necessary ele-
rent in the political emulsion.

Careless Use of
Soap Spells the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully, II
you want to keep your hair looking its
best. Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle,
and ruins 1t.
The best thing for steady use is just
ord mary mulsified cocoanut oil (Which
is pure and greaseless). and Is better
than the most expensive soap or any,
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonsful will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub 1t
in. It makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out easily.
removing every particle of dust, dirt.
dandrufr and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and It leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at
any pharmacy. it's very cheap, and a
few ounces will supply every member
+ the family for months.

THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

The work Of the republican conven-
ton at Des Moines while particularly
characteristic Of the new leadership
which has come into control of a great
party bore witness TO the acknowl-
edgement that Iowa is dry when all
the people are looking. Harding, a
wet, surrounded by district leaders
who were wet and in control Of a con-
vention for political reasons adopted
a platform which is dry and sold out
their own candidate for attorney gem
eral, who is wet, and threw their votes
20 a candidate who is dry SO as to
placate those republicans who are dry
and get by with their own candidate
who is to have in his control the en-
forcement of liquor laws in dry
state.
Last week We saw the democratic
party reverse it's time ilonored policies
and give voice TO a dry platform at
the request Of a dry candidate be-
cause of the political opportunity at
forded 70 attract dry votes. Nov the
republican party with a wet candidate
goes dryer than the democratic plat
form for the sole purpose Of saving its
wet candidate from the losses which
the democrats sought 20 inflict upon
him.
It was in Scott county that a local
chairman advised a county conven
ton that Wilson would be all right
for attorney general because he would
not cross county lines. but at Des
Moines those Scott county delegates,
wet and for Wilson, were bound by a
unit rule consented to by the self
same leader and amid tears Of
humiliation were delivered to a dry
candidate for attorney general for the
sole purpose Of pulling the real can
didate out Of a bad hole.
AS to the road issue the platform
fairly breathes with embarrassment
for the candidate who is out to get
votes going and coming on the road
issue. Doran and Pitt were there with
request to have the highway COM
mission abolished but there Is no word
of this in the platform. Harding him
self and the business men back Of him
know that this would be folly. Hard
ing would have stood for platform
| which would have declared against
any anticipation of road revenues for
lroad Improvement but he permitted
