the PASSING OF TIME.

The state board of control has boldly
recognized the inevitable passing o.
time in the appointment of son of a
G. A r. veteran as commandant OF
the soldiers home. This is a trying
position to fill, calling for even more
executive capacity and nerve resistance
than the leadership of troops. The
average age OF q. 4. r. veterans in the
home is past -. The lad of IS who
enlisted in 81 is % now The new
comma ndant was IL years old yester-
day when his appointment was made
by the board OF control.

day the grandsons of the veterans OF

SOME SIMPLE ARITHMETIC.

A town of minor population is at
tracting great deal of attention or
late years or perhaps months would
be a more accurate statement. West
Liberty now proposes to pave all the
streets of that notable town. If any
Iowa town of it's size draws more
headlines in Iowa newspapers than
West Liberty what town is it?
The probabilities are that the cor
respondent has overstated the facts
Few towns. however progressive. would
start upon a project that would in
clude every foot Of street within the
corporate limits The probabilities
are that when the story is sifted down
il will be found that West Liberty is
doing what Marshalltowr is trying to
do, paving or otherwise improving the
main streets and highways leading tc
the limits Of it's corporation lines.
But that's big enough to put West
ed to that she will build $4,000
school building this year along with
her street and road improvement.
So people stop and see West Liberty
in the panorama Of the daily news as
it passes before them. They take so
much time remarking this essentially
community which knows
what it wants and goes abont getting
it that they fail to see Podunk at all
Podunk that sits where she sat twenty
years ago about The old courthouse
with the same old school houses. the
same muddy streets with hitching
about the public square and before the
sonnet hing worthy OF note: Men and
town desire distinction and leadership.
West Liberty, in providing for her OWE
convenience and necessities,
take platform seat by right OF pre-
and class. She proposes to
live while she is on earth. Having
worked hard and done well she proposes
10 live in Twentieth century fashion.
She is like the farmer who puts la
bath and toilet. a furnace TO replace
the old stove and knowing that he is
bile to live plea sanity goes on and
lives so municipalities and men are
not vastly different A community is
,nly home multiplied The individ-
lal is the multipl!er. the population
he multiplicand. and the results the
product. 1t is all simple arithmetic.

The memory Is cold blooded device
which prevents a man from forgetting
his past life.r There are times in every
mans life when he would be glad to
forget some Maynard and lawless act
of his youth, like stealing watermelons
from a trustful neighbor or assaulting
a loved teacher in the left eye with a
moist paper wad, but memory will not
allow him to-. Many a reputable citi-
zen has been awakened out Of a sound
sleep by the rude hand Of memory, as
it recalls some youthful deed Of
violence which followed Immediately
afterward by restitution in the wood
shed.
When rightly exercised and kept
within reasonable limits, memory is q
great blessing to the human race. The
man who can remember the loan of a
$40 bill without having to be snaked
into Justice court should be proud Of
his memory, for it will enable him to
borrow another ten to replace tho one
that is gone 1t often happens that
some Of out most promiscuous borrow
ers, men who are able to recall things
that happened when they were two
years OF age. lose all control over their
memory when confronted with a due
bill for money loaned without interest
as late as last fall This is called
hardening Of the memory and also Of
the cheek.
The shortest memory ever pro-
duced is found in the court room dur
ing the progress of murder trial.
This kind Of memory is usually at
tached to the defendant, and will not
allow him to remember anything that
occurred before. during or after the
crime. Thousands of red-handed
murderers have escaped conviction and
returned to some peaceful. wife-beat-

WOULD PAY OUT IN EIGHT YEARS.

At the request Of its board Of super
visors Buena Vista countys engineer
has submitted a detailed estimate Of
the cost of draining. permanently
grading and crawling the entire coun-
- road system. &C that count" i: the
entire cost Is slightly less than $1,000
per mile and he shows in detail the
revenue available for each year from
which he is convinced that the bonds
would all be paid off in the eighth
year The people of Buena Vista
county would have enjoyed 49, miles
of graded road during all that time
and would have them paid for at the
end OF eight years. Inasmuch as this
engineer IS one of the most competent
men in his line in Iowa who had been
employed by that county long before
the present highway law was enacted
this estimate is worthy of considera-
ton.
Marshall county's engineer used 3d.
600 per mile as his cost estimate fdr
grading and crawling and at that cost
the entire job could be done in Ave
years and paid tor in fifteen years if
bonus of $500 per mile were raised. At
a gross cost Of $500 per mile the
bonds would pay out in the eighteenth
year but during all that time our peo-
pie would have had 1875 miles Of per-
manently graded and graveled roads
and a Lincoln Highway paved. The
state highway commissions model
graveled road near Fort Dodge cost
only $4,000 for grading and gravel and
the gravel was hauled a long distance.

abundance Of experience from which
TO judge believes that the estimate for
Marshall county is safe.

4 COSSON INCIDENT.

The attorney generals office has
brought action to remove the sheriff Of
Wapello county. The charge against
the official is graft in his office. 1t Is
alleged other derelictions that he used
the long distance telephone to call wit
long distance mileage costs when the
only expense involved was the cost Of
the telephone call.
Without trying the sherif's case in
the newspa pers, il is proper to point
out that this prosecution is under the
Cosson law. II the sheriff is guilty Of
It ia the third case brought against
officers in Wapello. 1t will be recalled
that d mayor oe C:;;iInwa was removed
for cause and that former sheriff re-
signed preferably to defending the
charges against him In the present
case it is only question Of substan-
pense charged which were never in
CURED and costs assessed for which
there was no basis. IF that be true,
the sheriff ought to be ousted. There
is no defense for a grating official
when the charge shall be proved.
The Cosson laws commend them
selves. There have been few prosecu-
tions under the removal law. which
may be mentioned as commendable of
the character OF Iowa officials and
such prosecutions as have been brought
have almost invariably resulted in re-
moval by proof OF the charges which
is the best commentator Of the law
as wise and effective.
Cosson has not finched from his
duty as chief Of the Iowa department
of justice as these removal cases show.
He is not lodging any duty as attor-
ney general today because he Is a can
didate for state office and fears loss OF
votes and popularity by doing the duty
of his office in the outset of q cam
paign problematicAl in it's results. As

The Register has frequently sug-
ges:ed that the Sherman law Is not
and was not intended for an affirma-
tive regulation Of big business.
Il is and was intended to be a whip
with which TO drive big business into
q frank recognition Of public rights
public regulation.
For many years the Sherman law
was denounced out of hand. But more
recently those who are loudest in call
ing for its repeal invariably couple the
call with a suggestion OF, public su-
iervision where they do not go further
and activity demand public supervts-
ion.
We have been familiar from the be-.
ginning with such suggestions as this
from the American Banker: If the
Sherman law was repealed there would
be an end of the ridiculous bounding Of
large business Interests by the federal
department Of Justice" But IT is only
latterly that the representatives Of big
business have been willing to recognize
the logical end Of the matter as the
Banker now does in the following

Gated in Washington. thus keeping
these industrial units within legiti-

things which railroad companies ought
not to be permitted to do. SO there are
also activities Industrial corporations

control these corporations and keep
them within bounds are distinctly the
functions of federal board similar in
Its powers and duties to the Interstate
commerce commission In the light Of
experience, and by the results of what
was at first an experiment, We have
discovered the kind Of supervision
which should be established. Railroad
regulation Is not railroad operation;
and, similarly. the supervision OF in
dustrial combinations by federal au-
thority would not be the operation of
the great industries by the govern
ment."
Without the Sherman law how long
would the country have waited for
such call from such source?
& But it will not do to stop with the
Sherman law, now that the time has
come for affirmative action. The Sher-
man .aw has served its purpose, and
will continue to serve until all the big
trusts have been driven in and penned.
But the Sherman law by itself does not
solve the problem or Industrial organi-
Zatior. ~
just what the ultimate form Of pub
lie regulation will be nobody can say
with confidence. That 1t should include
national incorporation we believe u
recognized by nearly everybody. Some
thing In the nature of the national
banking act ought to be possible for
all big husiiess. SO many evils can be
avoided in a carefully limited charter.
