by referendum submitted to the people
Of any particular locality as to whether
they will build permanent highways
and the kind that they would be will
ing to build If out of the cities where
traffic is heavy for some four or five
miles it is desired to build cement or
brick, or any other kind Of a paveG
road. let that be built, provided the
people of the locality favor it.
Il think we should insist upon 1t
that the legislature enact highway leg
islation that would permit the people
to exercise their option as to the kind
of road to be built and the method to
be applied to pay for it. On this kind
of program / think we can get on
very successfully and rapidly. The
whole question Of building permanent
roads is matter of contagion with
the people. If one locality or county
enters upon the work Of building good
permanent roads whether gravel or
other material, there Is no question but
what the adjoining county will take
the matter up and push it along. There
will first have to be agitation and pub
lie sentiment created to get 1t started
and when once it is started it will
move along with astonishing rapidity.
Such at any rate is my judgment Of
the matter"

GOVERNOR CLARK on COCO ROADS.

Governor Clarke has served as chief
executive of this state for nearly four
years. Before that he was lieutenant
governor and before that speaker Of
the house Of representatives He is
not of the leisure class nor of the
plutocrats. He is a modest lawyer
with his life's savings invested safely
in an Iowa farm. His experience in
public affairs commands respectful at
tention for whatever he may say and
his motives are above reproach.
This is what he has to say on the
road problem when writing to a road
booster in Clinton:
II am in receipt Of your letter in
which you say that you agree with
me that a solution Of the good roads
problem in Iowa must be the gravel
road.
Il think there can be no doubt OF
this at ALL II we undertake to insist
upon paved highways it is in my judg-
ment that we will lose out altogether.
I think it would be wise for all good
roads enthusiasts and boosters to real
ize that fact soon and go to the people
upon the question OF tine graveied
highway as permanent highway in
Iowa Or in other words, upon the
theory that the whole question can be

STRONG FOR HARDING.
baskerville Republican,


All this talk about boiling the re-
publican nominee for governor because
he is wet candidate does not
sound good, coming from a so-called
republican source. In the first place
the nominee, Mr.. Harding, Is not
wet" candidate. He Is not even a
drinking man, but on the contrary, is
church member, Methodist by
choice And all the abuse heaped up
on him for being allied with the sa-
loon and evil influences" are simply
malicious lies circulated by his enc
mics or rather By the friends Of the
defeated candidates to injure him. But
even IL he were wet" candidate his
nomination was won honorably and by
an avalanche Of votes in his favor and
he is entitled to the unanimous sup.
port OF his party. Those who may bolt
him are not republicans but fanatics
who are with the republican party be-
cause it is the majority party and who
desire the enactment Of reform legis-
lation along certain lines, which they
believe is proper. When the party ca
not be used for that purpose their love
for it suddenly grows cold and they al
once proclaim 10 the world that the!
will vote the enemies ticket 1t is
case of rule or attempt to ruin. we
sometimes think that party is better

ISIT THE BEGINNING OF THE END7

The war in Europe has lasted nearly
two years and the fighting has been
more continuous than in any other war
in history. Germany went into it eff
cient and prepared and up to date Ger
many has been doing the attacking.
Wear and tear upon her forces has
consequently been great. The allies
started unprepared and have been busy
holding their forts as best they could
until they could prepare.
At last general attack from all
sides has come 1t may succeed in
driving the German armies back home
again. AS to that nobody can foretell.
The marvel of the war has been that
Germany could fight SO many nations
al once and remain the aggressor for
even two years.
At the very outset Of the war army
officers in the United States predicted
that the war would last three years
and that the final decisive battles
"oGAU Dc 1OuSIt Gnu " OlI W iiiSi WIZ
were not under arms during the first
year. The terrible slaughter Of the war
has shown how true the latter part of
the prophecy has been.
If there is to be yet a third year OF
the struggle the advance Of the allies
is to be slow and costly in men.
However, nobody looks for Germany
to become a conquered nation or to be
dismembered and partitioned among
the vctors. The war will undoubtedly
come to a sudden end when the Ger
man armies have been pushed back
upon German soil if that much success
! is to be attained by the allied armies
Assuming that Germany Is to be out
numbered by the allies and forced back
which, Of course, is yet to be deter
mined, she will make it so costly for her
enemies that they will be glad to quit
| when the German armies reach the en-
| trenched positions Of their own coun.
| try. 1t would seem that peace mus
come within the three years, perhaps
| by this next fall. 1t can not come toe

lea keeps Fish Alive.

The feat of freezing live fish and re-
viving them several weeks or months
uater has been achieved by the Swiss
scientist. NJ Pictet The scientist put
twenty eight live fish in a box that
contained water rich in oxygen, in
which several pieces of ice floated. The
temperature of the water was then re-
duced slowly until it froze. At the
end Of about two months the cake was
gradually thawed, and the fish, it is
said, were found alive. In such an ex-
pertinent, the scientist reports, it is es-
sential that the water be gradually
frozen, and that it shall have
contained pieces Of ice from fifteen to
eighteen hours before the whole mass
is frozen The process of thawing must
be slow. Thru this process it is be-
lieved that Siberian sturgeon and
Alaskan salmon can be exported alive
to distant markets.

had to hire. In other words, the

ROAD BONDS RUIN TEXAS.
rDes iMoineS Register.

LES fkeSIStci.J
Every county in the state OF Texas
thru which the Jefferson highway
passes has voted bonds for hard sur
facing of the road.
Someone should make haste to save
these Texans from running themselves.
Their land is not worth one-fourth as
much as the land in Iowa. They have
no accumulated wealth. In Texas
there are on the average fourteen peo-
pie living within half mile Of
stretch of road a mile long. In Iowa
there are, forty. The burden Of road
building would therefore be three
times as great upon Texans as upon
Iowans if their wealth were equal, but
each Iowan is weather. than each
Texan.
If the opponents OF hard hoads in
Iowa are telling the truth about the
effect of road construction upon the
value Of Iowa farms and the savings
accounts of farmers, the section OF
Texas thru which the Jefferson high
way passes will be subject to utter
ruin.

SALOON GONE, WHAI NExI7 :,

The Cedar Rapids Republican, the
politics of which have always been
wet and which supported Harding vo-
ciferousy, now tells us that 1.-The sa-
loon in Iowa is pretty we'll dead. The
liquor issue is not apt to come back
into Iowa politics.
But three Methodist district confer
ences have resolved against Harding
because of their fear that he would
wink at enforcement of the prohibitory
law.
The Republican, however, assures us
in Hardings interest the man who
dares to propose to bring it back has
not yet appeared on the surface"
And practically all the ministers in
Des Moines have Joined in a public
proclamation to the effect that Hard
ing has always voted wet in the legis-
lature and IS not to be depended upon
to change his spots when In the gov
ernor's office.
The saloon as an institution can
hardly hope to be reuvenated," pleas
the Republican for Harding and then
the Presbyterians and the Christians
and the Friends all join the Methodists
in declaring that their consciences
compel them to bolt candidate with
so wet a record as Mr.. Hardings.
Then the Republican mobiles the
declarations by telling us that the
people who are living in Iowa might as
well make all their calculations on a
saloonless state, even if it is not an
entirely parched area
Now let the republicans who have
always been proud of the fact that the
republican party has refused to stand
for the saloon diligently ascertain what
is meant by "salooness state not
entirely a parched area" Perhaps
there Is distinction in terms there
which Is important. Our next governor
is to appoint four special agents who
are to enforce the liquor laws of Iowa
Will their appointment require that
they do their enforcing with a wink
and tip or will the fear of real pro-
secution spread over the billiard hall
soft drink parlors of the land? What
areas are not to be parched?

ALL VERY HOPEFUL.


However people who believe in
strict enforcement Of the law need not
worry. The state of Iowa wants no
law, needs no law, that would deny the
established rights of any person. 1t
may take the state a long time to get
over the change from free liquor sale
to prohibition but the. state will get
over it. The people have already &C
cepted the demise,t an il were, of the
saloon and IN very few localities would
the saloon be welcomed back. AS time
goes on. there will be less desire for
liquors, comparatively few persons
will lower themselves to the station OF
the bootlegger to get it. There is
new generation growing up that will
not be tempted and will not know the
taste of liquors. The patronage Of
bootleggers will constantly lessen, un-
til there is little demand for continual
ton, of the business. So

As To the Kilt.

The exact origin of that interesting
garment the kilt. is lost in the mist OF
antiquity, altho it's history goes back
to the time when it was part of the
national dress of Ireland and Wales,
as we'll as OF Scotland In the Middle
Ages the kilt was a kind OF shirt
called a lem" 1t was worn with
Jacket and single piece Of cloth
thrown over the shoulders. In those
days, altho the "lenn" was colored, 1t
had nothing like the variety Of colors
of the present day plaids.
The Scot found that this 'arment.
reaching below the knees, interfered
with his freedom Of movement in a
fight or an athletic game and so he
tucked or killed it just above his
knees.
In 1747 special act-the Highland
garb act-was passed in the effort to
abolish the costume Of the Scottish
Highaanders. but fortunately it's only
effect was to, make the kilt more popu:.
lar than evef.-Pearson's Weekly.
