JOSEPH E. MEYER
Candidate for
Reelection for First Full Term
JUDGE OF DISTRICT COURT
Polk County Judicial Ticket.

He is an Iowa man, SO years Of age,
has wife and two small children, and
has made such splendid record on the
bench since his appointment as district
judge that there is universal expecta-
tion of his election for the full term
in November. At the time of his ap-
pointment he was not candidate for
selection, but the governor offered him
the position, knowing full well his COM
potency. There have been times when
members Of the bench would resign to
enter into the practice because of the
more lucrative field. Judge Meyer has
said that if it is the will Of the people
he would very much like to stay on the
bench, to make there such record as
he believes he can make, and the cleo
tion in November to the full term is
merely matter of right. When a man
has been given short trial and is max
ing good the American spirit Of fair
play says, Give him q chance.'' That
is always true, and knowing the com,
potency of Judge Meyer, coupled with
the good American spirit Of the .roters,
sxe<fcel assured that he will -be4 elected.
He ought to be. f@es I.

EDITORS OBSERVATIONS.
By"John L. Thompson.

We are still in Missouri, riding now
not on a slow train, but in an automo-
bile. It was in Brunswick that Prof. H.
G. Bruce, president of the Bartlett Nor
NAL and Industrial Institute of Dalton,
Missouri, motored over to Brunswick
in company with Prof. Butler, one of
the instructors, come over on other bus
mess, so happened by chance to come
to the home where was stopping, so
their Overland car, being large and
roomy, after we all had a fine breakfast
with Mrs. jackson, who is a splendid
cook. Her husband is fisherman by
trade, so he went down to Grand river,
only block away, where his lines were
setting, and brought in some fine fresh
catfish for our breakfast. I need not
tell you how that breakfast, with corn
bread and everything else good, did
really taste that morning. We three
were soon motoring to Dalton, a dis
tance of nine miles. We enjoyed this
miles Of ride through the country, talk
ing about the different farms and its
production. You readers see that here
was two great farmers, one >ye editor,
has been, and ye professor, hope to
he. So you see we were unequally
matched. One related his experience
and the other his theory, but on reach
ing this little town of about 500 people,
of which 800 are colored, the first town
we have been in in this state where the
colored population exceeded the white.
We. found this great country life school,
the Bartlett Industrial School, alive and
alert, planning and working to make
this the greatest Agricultural Country
Life School in America, under the eff
cient management Of that ripe scholar,

It will be noted that of the appro-
priations awarded states north of the
Mason and Dixon line, New Jersey OBJ
tanned over one-fourth of the total.
It is favorite argument of Southern
Democrats, in excusing this discrimina-
ton, that the splendid climate Of the
Southern states accounts for the favor
itism shown that section of the coun-
try. Unfortunately for this argument,
the facts do not sustain it. For exam
pie, California climate is quite as
noted for its mildness in winter as is
the climate of Alabama California s
climate is far more healthful than Ala
bama's the latter being full of ma
laria. H..
California received $14,9SO,398 in ap-
propriations for army camps and other
military works. Alabama received
SOL 1856, Jas, or two-f -fifths as much as the
total appropriations given to northern
ard western states.
California subscribed $358, ,194 200 to
the Second and Third Liberty Loans, or
"a times what the government spent on
camps in California. Alabama sub
scribed only $3S, ,795,350 to those two
loans, or less than two-thirds as much
as the government had spent in that
state.
But Alabama is the home of Chair
man Dent of the House Committee on
Military Affairs.
Texas tho Prize Winner.
Then there is Texas. 1t is notorious
for its "northers,' the worst Of bliz-
yards, in winter. In summer it is the
hottest state It's Rio Grande border is
waste of sand. Malaria fever is the
plague of every camp in Texas. All
told, it has probably the most inhos-
ritable assortment Of weather Of any
state. Yet Texas was handed six army
camps, eleven aviation camps, one con-
centration camp and one repair depot,
with total appropriations of $32,652,-
TAIL. These plums were generously
passed around so that Waco, Houston,
Fort Worth, Dallas, San Antonio and
Wichita Falls each got liberal bite.
This is more than the total appropria-
tions for cantCnments and other mill
tary plans in the states of Massachu-
setts, Nebraska, Iowa, Indiana and
Kansas. It is more than was appro-
priated fer army camps in the two
states of Illinois and New York.
But, then, Texas is the home Of Col

ney General Gregory.

second bottom land and he was sowing
many acres in fall wheat. This school
is undoubtedly the best industrial
school for colored people in the great
Northwest and it is started upon solid
foundation to become one of the strong
pillows of education. They have sew
eral large buildings recently built, a
fine silo, also a very fine barn and
many other improvements to this insti-

Mr.. s. F. Shepard is doing well. There

Gently been increased by over $lO5,-
