ROADS OTHER PEOPLE ARE BUILDING.

The road problem is being solved in
so many states other than our own
that it is well for some Of us to know
what is going on outside the zone OF
Iowa mud.
In Tennessee where the voters solve
their own road problems counties have
recently voted road bonds as follows:
Claiborne, $500 900; Scott, 100000;
Campbell, s35O.0eO; Carter. s3Se.ooo;
Greenville, 100000: Knox, 100000;
Monroe, s225,o00: Hawkins, $3.50 .ooe;
Hamilton. 100000: Granger, $500, 900;
Rhea, $3.50, 900: Blount, 100000;
Franklin, s350.o90: Lawrence, $4,000.
This is a total of $5,125,08o 20 be in
vested in permanent work using the
local material most available for sur
facing and spreading the cost over
forty years of easy tax payments.
Down in Florida a vote will be taken
June in Polk county upon proposed
issue of 81 500. 900 in bonds for con-
structing go miles of hard roads. Al
Bradentown s250,0oo of road bonds
have been voted and are now for sale.
In Kentucky 500, 900 in road bonds
have been voted at Catlettsburs and
$3.50, 600 at Morganfieid while at Flem-
ingsburg preparations are being made
for an election to authorize $3.50 900 IN
road bonds.
And then in Mississippi the board
Of supervisors has taken il into its
own hands in Lincoln county to issue
5000, 900 in road bonds for the purpose
OF crawling 175 miles of highway at
an average Of sl,l43 per mile In
Washington county. however, an cleo
ton will be held June IA for the voters
to authorize $4,000 Of road bonds to
be sold for the improvement Of $50
miles of stone roads.
In our own state last year boards of
! supervisors increased the amount Of
| county road and bridge bonds out
standing from 100000 to 100000
without referendum but most OF the
! money went into permanent bridges. =

.cLEoPArRA..

Cleopatra was an k19yptien queen
who originated the AFFINITY habit.
| which Of late years has become such .
popular and fourishing industry in
this country. When cleopatra was on
earth affinitles were harder to ind
than buttons on q Numbered shirt. and
thousands or people had never seen the
picture Of one In Newspaper. How
different II IL at tho present time,
when the dawn Of every new day
brings forth some new. peroxide az
flnity who wants nothing but love, plus
an upkeep expense Of $400 Q month!
Cleopatra was O. tall languorous
brunette OF striking appearance, par
ticularly when dressed for the opera,
as was, the case most Of the time. She
!! was heavily addicted to the bisected
negligee which has since been adopted
by every shadow dancer that ever got
past first base. She was also q highly
educated woman, graduate OF the
high school. and could speak plain.
rugged Egypt with great fiuency.
However, we regret to state that Cleo
patra was not home body. She was
a poor cook. and could not make q
batch Of plain. salt-risinE bread with
out burning 1t on the bottom. In this
respect she was q total failure. n
Cleopatra had a brother named
Ptolemy. and they farmed Egypt on
shares for q while, making non stop
record for raising taxes. Ptolemy was
then killed while attempting to keep
Julius Caesar and his Justly famous
Roman nose out Of the country. after
which Cleopatra reigned alone in state
and a scant but fetching evening gown.
History relates that when Caesar saw
Cleopatra on the throne in evening
dress he forgot that he was q husband
and made love to her in ardent, sec
ond-year Latin.
Cleopatra soon grew tired OF Julius,

Because various irresponsible per-
| real spirit OF Colorado, have circulated
statements defamatory to the credit 81
the state and It's womanhood. we be-
lieve the time has come when all such
silly and slanderons stories should be
repudiated by the Intelligent and pub
spirited men Of the state OF Col
orado.
The demand for Colorado bonds is
far greater than the supply. In per
capita wealth, in expenditures for
education, in the percentage Of homes
without incumbrance, in public Inn
provements. in all matters Affecting
social welfare and the humane side OF
legislation. Colorado stands well to the
front, as may easily be verified by the
reports Of the United States govern
ment I3.zzst9
In all efforts that have served to
forward the health and prosperity Of
the state the women of Colorado have
done their share The enfranchise-
ment Of women is no longer a question
here. Equal suffrage was granted by
popular vote in 1893 and Incorporated
in the constitution ten years later by
majority three times the size of that
given the original referendum.

Even a paper Of such high moral
tone as the Marshalitown Times-Rs-
publican is unable to forget Its par
tisanship when speaking Of the action
Of the recent democratic conferences at
| Des Molnes. where E. T. Meredith was
chosen to make the race for governor.
1t says facetiousIy: AS a henpecked
man lis sometimes referred to as Mrs.
Blanks husband SO Is the democracy
| Of Iowa spoken of as Mr.. Meredith's
party" The Times-Republjean is not
, quite fair. It will be recalled that Mr..
Meredith consented to allow his name
! to appear on the primary ticket only
at the earnest solicitation Of the DEM
ocrats of Iowa as represented In the
Des Moines conference and by the
press of the state. and his name on the
primary ticket dad not preclude the
appearance of that of any other as
pirant for the nomination. The only
matter in which Meredith could posi-
bly, be accused Of dictation was in
stating plainly to the conference the
principles for which he stands before
consenting to make the race.
This, certainly, was not only his
right but was the only honorable thing
to do. No honorable man will allow
himself to be placed in the false posi-
ton OF running for office on a plat
form which he can not endorse. IL ne
can avoid IL. Our method OF nomina-
ton at q primary before the conven-
ton attwhich the platform is adopted

| 1910 did no misrepresent the views Ut
| the candidate for governor on the IL
quor question, but having sought the
| nomination without making q declara-
l ton Of his views on the question, the
candidate was obliged to go thru with

THE TORCHLIGHT PARADE.
burlington Hawkeye1

HUNTINGTON Ha"heSe.I
Most of us can look back to the
times when the torchlight parade was
considered an Indispensable feature of
la national political campaign. 1t is to
be doubted that it made votes, but it
kept up the interest among the
younger folk, which eventually spread
to their elders. Another great cam
paign will be on soon. and some people
are wondering whether In this era OF
preparedness the torchiight parade will
come back. -
Those of us who carried a torch
thirty or forty years ago, have very
happy recollections of those days. A
company was selected with some care,
equipped with torches and oil-cloth
capes and fancy hats or caps. And
during a number Of weeks we We're
drilled in a hail. preferably by vet
eran of the civil war. and were taught
more about marching and military
methods than we ever acquired in
other days. Companies that were
made up Of the right material and that
had the good fortune to find captain
who was truly interested and had the
rare gift Of awaking interest and en-
thusiasm in others, soon got beyond
the regular drill and were initiated
into all sorts of fancv drilling, and
after we were turned loose on the
streets, we attracted considerable at
tention and were given much praise by
enthusiastic members OF the party
whose torches we were carrying.
| II the captain happened to be
isinger, he soon had his men singing
campaign songs. which added much 70

company, no matter how others may

Shjfty Mr.. Wilson.

Mr. Wilson lost all power to influence
army legislation because he was on all
sides Of every question raised by re-
organization. He was at first In favor
of a continental army; later he lost all
interest In the conhnentajs. He was
against "federalized" national guard;
afterward ne favored liberalization,
with its pork barrel" attachments He
said year ago that there was no need
to increase the peace strength OF the
regular establishment or to increase
the army at all. Last winter he said
the regular army ought to be increased
on a peace footing to $4,000 men. Very
recently ne has said that a peacs
strength Of 10000 men would not be
unreasonable" He Endorsed the Hay
bill, but never Endorsed the Chamber
lain bill. He left the way perfectly
free for the democratic leaders in con.
