KAISER DEFIES
j. S. IN REPLY"
SAYS STATESMAN
Morning Mummy's Stroke of
Enterprise Ends In
Disastrous FiiasCO

The morning Statesman held back its
city edition today until S clock in
an attempt to steal some of the Capital
Journals thunder Evidently printing
the news after the Capital Journal has
had it is becoming mOnotonous even
with the old and sleepy Statesman.
In this Gaze, however, the morning pa
per made the mistake of plunging us in,
to war with Germany in a wood type
headline which was anything but artis-
tic and of itself provocation for war
in which it said, "Kaiser Defies L. S.
in Reply" As a matter of fact the
kaiser did nothing of the kind, but the
Statesman telegraph editor was prob
ably getting sleepy and may not have
been in harmony with this stroke of en-
terpuse, when a stroke of paralysis was
the most natural thing to expect in
that establishment, and so jumped at
conclusions, before the note was com
pleted Jnd ordered the paper to press
with this country hanging over the
precipice of war.
Then to make matters worse there
was also front page story in the same
edition Dragging about the Statesman s
enterprise, and the excellence and relia-
bility of the Associated Press service

we can't quite understand. If the tele-
graph editor had waited long enough
it would have got the news to him
about right in the end, but it is an or
ganization that above everything else
objects to being hurried.
The moral to be drawn from this
unfortunate attempt of our esteemed
contemporary to print the news first
at least once in its life, is that walk
ing while asleep is as dangerous a habit
for newspaper as an individual. The
awakening is apt to be rude and start
ling as was this case.
Since the public is getting the Ger

as the Statesman Is, circulation is quite
restricted and exclusive, no particular
damage has been done, and probably no
diplomatic notice will be taken of the
kaiser's virtual declaration OF war,

Some women who were witnesses to
the affair decided that perhaps the
horse had reason for not pulling, al
though the reason might be Just ''be-

of the driver. At any rate the police
were notified and Howe and Kennedy
were arrested on charge of cruelty
to animals.

President, Not Public, Must Act.

Frequently announcements have been sent from Washington to the eff. feet that President Wilson is dis. pleased with certain stories purporting to define his attitude regarding men or policies. Yet, more frequently, the un. challenged assertion goes forth that the president will not adopt certain obvious policies until a pronounced public demand for them Is manifest. We have yet to hear of any reproof from the White House for the authors of this latter class of stories. But surely they are inaccurate. The first Democratic president inaugurated since 1896 does not regard himself as subject to the initiative, referendum and recall. He does not consider him. self a messenger, commissioned to carry out what might have been the will of the people four years ago, with out regard to changed conditions

 As long as Veach, Cobb and Craw- ford keep up their safe volleying, Jen- nings need not fear of losing many close games. But he must have good pitching to win, just as any other club must, and to have this during the present campaign it is essential that Coveleski keep in condition to take his turn in the box.

RUTTY SPOTS IN A ROADBED
Bad Roads-Drainage Is Recom- mended as Remedy. c

We have been quite interested lately in travelling over roads in central Iowa at time when we did not expect them to be at all good, to find that where they were dragged the going was quite good; and where not dragged, quite rough. But even where good, there were spots in the roadbed that were rutty. Now, what is the cause of these ruts every mile or two of good, fairly well dragged roads? Nothing but water uncontrolled. These are seepy places. Filling up the ruts by dragging does not prevent the trou- ble. The drag does not reach the root
Williams news., 1916-07-06

of the matter. The fact is that just above these seepy places where the ruts are, there is a vein of hard clay coming out, which the water cannot readily penetrate. Hence it comes out under the roadbed, just as slough comes out on the side of hill.
 The remedy for this Is tile drainage, and the drain should not be located in the seepy place, but above 1t, so as to intercept the water that makes the seep. Just on the same principle that in draining a slough with many branches and prongs, the work is done best by tiling around the prongs and into the slough below at the lowest of them, instead of in the middle of it. For whenever water gets into slough, the damage is done. The point Is to keep it from getting in.
 A little attention to this, together with dragging the road after every rain, will give us fairly good roads dirt roads without any hard surfacing for nine or ten months in the year. Of course, when these seepy places are drained, they must have a ditch into which the water can run.
 Permit us to repeat once more a statement we have been making ever since we made our first address on good roads, 30 years ago: that wa ter uncontrolled is the cause of bad roads; that there are two kinds of water, so to speak; the under water and the upper water. The under water is that which comes in under the road bed; and the upper-water what comes on it from above or flows in from the sides. The way to get rid of the first is through drainage; particularly in these seepy places. The way to con- trol the second is by grading and then dragging, to put an enamel on the sur face of the road.-WalIace's Farmer.
