Iowa stands second per capita in

Der Of good miles of roads.

Adjutant General Logan wants the
flag to fly from every public building
in the state. 1t would be some trouble
to som ebody and would cost some
money to have old glory unfurled to
the breezes from every school house,
court house, public institution, etc.,
in Iowa, but it,would be worth all it
cost. There cannot be to much dis
playing of the national emblem.

The Vinton Eagle expresses a de-
sire to see "Ding" draw cartoon
picturing Iowa Representative John
son and Pitt and Senator Doran
trying to block the wheels of prog
ress." And the Webster City Jour
nal suggests that Ding add to the
sketch few Of the Johnson lieuten-
ants fright in this section of the
state" The Record sort of wonders
if Tuck refers to something right
close at home, say, for instance, right
here in Hamilton county. How about
it, Tuck?-Jewell Record.
Presumably TUCK has in mind
the action of Senator Chase, who was
leader in the senate in support of the
Johnson road bill.

No, this fond mother didn't raise
her boy to be a soldier. Neither did
the mothers of 1776, 1912 or 1861,
but where would the country be If
the mothers and fathers and sons of
those days were too proud or too cow
ardly to fight for their ideals and
their homes? The Freeman-Tribune
believes that if the test should come,
regardless of the loud gatherings OF
the mollycoddles and laggards and
louis, the boys and fathers and
mothers OF America today would be
Just as ready and willing to make
sacrifices as they were in any days
of the nations history. Only the op-
portunity, which none of us want to
see, need appear to make this fact
apparent. A nation that is not will
ling to fight for it's ideals, its exist
ence, it's liberties and its rights has
no place among the virile peoples of
the twentieth century.

A. Nelson of Ellsworth township is
thinking seriously Of coming OUT
as a candidate for clerk of the courts.
In the event of his candidacy he
hopes to get practically the solid vote
of the southern part of the county,
figuring that will win, as the other
two candidates, John G. Sterling and
c. H. Swiney, both Of this city, will
divide the vote in the northern sec
ton of the county.

The movement to change the
method of registering automobiles is
gaining ground. The plan to have
the license issued by the county au-
ditor, who would furnish the number
plates, would greatly simplify the
matter and enable auto owners to
get their plates promptly. Of course
the registration number would have
to be recorded in the office of the sec
rotary of state at Des Moines, but
the secretary could send out the
plates to the county auditors and the
auditors could collect the tax and
report all numbers Immediately to
the state department. While the
law is being changed to conform TO
this idea it would also be a good plan
to alter it in another direction. Give
each county all the license money it
collects, except small percentage
to pay the state for the trouble anu
expense of supplying the numbers,
keeping the records, etc. All Of this
license money should also be expend-
ed upon the roads in the county in
which it is collected. If automobile
owners. of Hardin county pay S15,-
900 in licenses and those of Hamil-
ton county only $4,000, the square
deal would suggest that this s25,-
900 should not be evenly split be-
tween the two counties. Each should
get just the sum each collected, less
the percentage due the state.

is not yet time to talk of repeating
the primary law. Give it a fair
trial. In the school election in, this
city last month only 80 votes were
polled out Of a total voting popula-
ton Of perhaps 1900. 1t requires a
contest to bring out the vote. We
believe the presidential preference
primary will prove popular when We
have a strong contest for the dele
gates from this state.

Almost unanimously the young
men who complete the two year
course in agriculture at Iowa State
college go back to the farm. OF the
$50 men who have already been grad
uated in this shorter course, las are
seither actually farming or are in
work closely associated with farm
ing. OF the 4S young men who will
complete that course in June, 4S will
go to the farm.
The Sioux City Tribune says that
Hughes didn't get 5000 votes in
Iowa. His total was 500. The
Hughes vote of 500 and the Root vote
of 100 about represent the remnant
of the uncompromising standpat ele-
ment in Iowa. In localities there was
evidence of quiet work to make an
anti-Cumm;ns showing, but there was
little indication Of an organized,
statewide movement along that line
Of course Gov. Brumbaugh of
Pennsylvania should have reported
the $1,000 he received for campaign
purposes, but it doesn't look just
right to see the Penrose crowd jump

AS the Des Moines Register well
puts it, ''If an eastern man is to be
chosen, by far the most available
man today is Justice Hughes. -
Story City Herald.
1t is probably true that Hughes is
more available" than Roosevelt. He
would get more votes at the election
next fall. But as president he would
not give the country the standing
that Roosevelt would. Roosevelt
would be president in hts own right
and he could not be influenced nor
bluffed nor bullied by designing in
terests and politicians. If the repub-
lican party would win with Roosevelt
the country would have a president
whom the whole world knows is cap
able of filling the position to the
brim. Hughes might be able to do it,
but. it would require some time for
him to impress that fact upon the
world.
