WEAVER DEFIES PIERCE.

In Des Moines it would seem that
Jim Pierce, of the Homestead, Is con-
sidered political liability instead Of
an asset. In the recent campaign for
mayor he published ads endorsing the
man whom he had once condemned for
being guilty Of violating law in an
alleged combination Of printers and the
man was defeated. Nov &c &c Cunning
for James B. Weaver, perhaps the
abIest representative Des Moines has
placed in the Iowa legislature in many
years. Weaver's offense was to defeat
Pierce's bill which seemed to have been
intended to make it possible for Pierce
to grab the state printing at his own
price.
Weaver comes back at Pierce ex-
posing his selfish purposes. He says
that the printer bill, which the leg.
islature amended, was Pierces owl
bill drawn by Pierce's lawyer and in.
troduced by . farmer named Helmins
as mere camonhage. He says thai

maximum prices beyond which the
board could not go in buying printing,
but in his second bill Pierce slipped out

Pierce has not been proposing any
more enlargement of power for the
governor.
Pierce denies that the Brady bill of

GRAFTON Of one include the other. Motors
are not suited to ordinary mud road
ways, ungraded, and poorly bridged,
nor can they always operate ON high
ways only partially constructed. To be
suitable for traffic at all seasons, roads
must be constructed according to ap-
proved plans with regard to grades.

must have sturdy surfacing. Move
ments from farm to market, from CEN
ter to center from section to section,
are effected by means Of the automo-
bile truck, and the state Is obliged to
face the problem. Joy riding Is only
one of the incidental uses of the public
highways. The roads have become ave-
nues of traffic, which in the near future
will be greatly augmented by overflow
from the railroads.

THE DAY WE OBSERVE.

This Memorial day is the fourth since
war began in Europe For almost four
years war that might from its fierce
destructiveness seem TO human imagi :
nation to have burned itself out still
goes on with undated and increasin e
virulence. It involves the civilized
world and is the elimination of the
prophecy of Armageddon.
This Is surely a day for sober
thou ghtfulness in America Our own
men are engaged in the bloodiest battle
of all times. Our fortunes are set on
the event of this war and perhaps OF
this battle raging today while the
church bells ring and assemblages
gather to the observance Of this holi-
day. Not only the lives of our own and
our prosperity. but our very liberties
are IN the balance Of battle. Surely
it is solemn and nlomentous day this
thirteth of May. 1918.
It Is not only day of memories but
of forward resolve, a time wherein to
cease labor and touch shoulders and
souls, to mingle our memories and our
hopes ana strengthen our determination
to endure whatever may come until
peace may come with security
With 1000 days Of war behind us and
God only knows how many red days
before us this is an hour for American
citizenship to look forward with stern
courage as it looks backward with
pride.
For upon US rests the event Of this
war. It is our men and our resources
that must win it. II Is the sacrifice
and labor and sincerity of the very
people who gather today to holiday
on which the result of this war rests.
| 1t is not only a general but an individ-
ual responsibility. Not one great or
small. can evade or escape that re-
sponsibility in honorable citizenship.
1t Is our war nationally. individually
The time will come in all human prob
ability when we shall assume leader
ship in It as those who have so far
| fought 1t become exhausted. And to-
day individual and nation alike should
| firmly resolve again that this war is to
be fought to its logical end--the main
tenance OF liberty in America and the
establishment of liberty where auto
cratic slavery reigns supreme at pres
ent.
| Meet this Memorial day solernly as
BELTS the time. Let US take stock OF
our individual patriotism, brace our
souls to bitter sacrifice, will to win
realize responsibility, get into the war
Not less do 1875 and 1861 and 1898 cal

MR.. LUTIN'S ERROR.
LDes Moines Reglster.1

In the May number Of the Engi-
neering and Cement World Daniel b.
Lutin, whose claim to certain pro-
cesses In cement bridge construction
has been disputed by tho state high
way commission and threshed out tn
the courts, makes a savage attack on
the Iowa commissioners, and on Iowa
as a road building state.
Mr.. Lutin asks a rather disQuietins
question::
why are Iowa and Kansas the
two bad roads states among the more
progressive and wealthy Of the west
ern states? Why did Iowas surfaced
roads decrease from over 2 per cent IN
1909 to one-haIf Of per cent in 1s14?"
If he had shown one-half the in
genuity in answering this question
that he did in asking 1t, he might
have made considerable contribution
to the cause CT good roads in the
middle west.
But Mr.. Lutin having only in mind
his controversy over concrete bridge
building. gives an answer that must
seem absurd to those who know init
rnately Of the fight over hard surfaced
roads in Iowa. Mr.. Lutin says:
This was the period Of greatest
controversy by the highway COM
mission In It's effort to establish it.

mand that candidates at the primary

the other the position Of the legislator

There are three candidates on the
republican ticket in the coming pri-

them as giving no answer to the

Colonel Roosevelt stands as the

From his childhood up he has been

and persistent attention to the rules of
life, he became strong. He knew that
he must be strong II he played

he realized he must be strong II he
accomplished anything worth while.
He was not born in poverty. He was
not compelled to earn his daily bread.
He could have chosen a life Of idle
ness, had he 90 desired. He had a
