THIS IS THE BIRTHDAY OF
Carneades,
Is IT YoURsr
JULY 16 60 PA B. c.


Carneades, the Creek philosopher. Is
important mainly as the founder OF
what is called the Third, or New Acad-
envy. He was born at Cyrene, probably
July 1s, PA B. c.. but very little else Is
known of the events Of his life. He was
a friend and pupil Of Diogenes the
stole. but his own philosophy was a
contra dition to everything the stoics
taught.
With Diogenes and Critolaus the
Peripatetic. he was sent on a mission
to Rome. to justify certain atrocities
committed by the Athenians In Roman
territory. In those days. instead OF ex-
changing diplomatic notes. a group OF
philosophers were picked out ana sent
to argue the matter. and the cleverest,
or the most tireless, usually won. car
neades delivered two great lectures IN
Rome, one in favor OF justice, and an
other, the following day, against JUS
tice. He made such All impression on
the mind Of the Roman youth that all
started enthusiastically to study phil
osophy, and the rulers got alarmed
and insisted on dismissing the three
disturbing philosophers.
During the fifth century, B. c., In
Greece, the school Of Sophists had ex-
listed, a school that taught mainly the
uncertainty Of knowledge. but whicf
fell into disrepute later. Carneades
coming more than three hundred year,
later, practically revived these Ole
teachings, in contradiction to the stoics
who believed that the world was Great
ed good and beautiful and should DC
calmly accepted as such by man.

Topics of the Times

There should be no kissing Of the
president in any assembly in the Uni
ted States: neither should there be
kissing directed at senators who are
doing their duty as they and a very
large number Of their constituencies
see it. One branch Of government is
entitled to respect but without sub
servience.

OF the suffrage leaders at Des Moines
the other day in the interests Of the
democrat party. Holy smoke. have

The president is reported as about
ready to start on his tour thru the
country. He should beware Of pune
lures. Most of the tours and swings

Of blowouts and fiat political tires
than anything else.

HENRY FORD ON EXHIBITION.

The United States witnessed spec
tacle yesterday. 1t saw a man OF vast
wealth and who had once been com
manded" by president or this nation
to run for the United States senate,
confess deliberately that he considers
history bunk" has mo use" for music
and other arts and assert his convic-
ton that soldiers are murderers. Gen.
eral Pershing and all professional SOL
diers were specially included in the in
dictment as "murderers."
Mr.. Ford's ignorance was on dis
play. Asked if he knew the causes OF
the war of 1912, he confessed that he
did not. He believed that the civil
war was over slavery and that the
Spanish war was ito free Cuba" When
the attorney cranked him Mr.. Ford
turned over historically and popped.
But he didn't run. He spanked all right
but his tank was empty.
Mr.. Ford has been quite voluminous
as an author. His monographs on one
thing and another have been quoted
freely However, this trial brings out
thru Ford's evidence that he didn't
write those personal views" Of his. A
hired man wrote them. Mr.. Ford and
Mr.. Pierce OF the Homestead should
certainly exchange publications.
One thing MI Ford knows. We have
it thru the assertion Of his attorney
that he knows every nut and bolt in
his automobile.
That is an excellent equipment for
repair man and most convenient
knowledge for those who drive jitneys
possess. But, crediting Mr.. Ford with
that and Gsbitins him with utter !S-
norance of the history of this country
and others and the relationships of one
to another, while it is readily seen that
Ford would be a handy man about
service station it is not evident that he
should be a leader in governmental az
fairs and a senator Of the United
States by command"
The conclusion forced by Mr.. Ford
himself thru the recent years is that
he is e successful manufacturer grown
immensely wealthy and, like the cob
bier who was advised to stick to MS
last, should stick by the nuts and bolts
that 90 to make up his jitney.

OUT AFTER TINE LINCOLN HIGHWAY.

In the. Des Moines newspapers ap-
PEARS the suggestion that the Lincoln
Highway is likely to be changed to
pass over the River to River road or
over a new route to be laid thru north
central Iowa. 1t is urged that three
counties on the Lincoln route having
refused the state and federal aid the
highway may be secured by the River
to River or by new route further
north which shall accept the paving
proposition in connection with govern
ment and state aid.
1t is not altogether an idle dream.
The River to River roadsters have
long had their eyes on the Lincoln
Highway. First II was proposed to di-
vert the highway at Sterling, Illinois.
turn to Davenport and thence west
over the River to River. It required q
stiff fight to defend the Clinton en-
trance into the state and keep the
highway where It Is. The latest sug-
gestion Of change coming from the
quarter where it arises Is suggestive
that hope has not died in the breasts
Of the River to River people.
The falling away Of Story and Tama
will not change the road but it is a
matter for other counties still to vote
on the federal aid proposition to take
strict account il they desire to keep
the highway where it now runs. The
Lincoln route is the natural route
across Iowa as it Is across the conti-
| nent. Story made a mistake but it is
| due to Story to say that for the most
part the Lincoln Highway thru Story
| has been maintained as well as any
| stretch of the road in any county thru
which it passes. Story will pay aten.
ton to the highway and probably keer
| it in good order until her chance comes
to remedy the mistake she made. Tams
| failed to accept thru the unfortunate
| controversy which arose between riva-
towns. But Tama will strive to retalr
the Lincoln route by extra effort while
she awaits another chance to vote.
The loss of the Lincoln Highway
should it occur thru the blindness O
the counties which now possess 4
would be . much more serious thinl
than the average person conceives q
present. It will in the future be ,
government trail, q main thoroughfar
se- tourists over which volume o
traffic shall pass that II beyond pres
emit conception.
Lincoln Highway counties that ar
still to vote should take the advantaS
es Of such route into consideration

CONSCRIPTION.

One Of the most pleasing prospects
which faces the young men Of our
country Is that of CONSUMPTION for
compulsory service in an international
police force under the League OF Ma
tons. We hope that the mothers of
America will share this feeling Of joy
and use every effort TO secure the
adoption OF the Paris covenant. The
benefits OF a oonscript army IN times
Of peace were amply demonstrated in
Prussia, and the great financial in
terests feel we shall do well to follow
in her footsteps.
This is not an idle dream, for the
need of the continuance of conscrip-
ton has been definitely proclaimed by
the most prominent advocate Of the
league. William Howard Taft, in
these words:
Very little service has been exacted
from the great body Of the people.
Conscription is needed to discipline
our native young men and to teach
them respect for authority. 1t is need
ed to teach our millions Of newly Gre
ated citizens loyalty. Congress should
enact a consumption law making pro-
vision not only for the present but for
the future, after the war shall end"

THE BEST Is THHE CHEAPEST.
IBurIia gton Hawkeye.l

In connection with modern road
building and modern roads, attention
is again being called to the fact that
the best is the cheapest. It practically
speaks for itself.
There are pieces Of brick pavement
in Burlington that are thirty years old
and perhaps older and are as good to-
day as when they were put down.
There is brick pavement being laid In
Burlington at the present time, and on
4 better foundation than was available
for the earlier pavements. which ought
to last a half century.
On the other hand, there are streets
which were paved with cheaper ma
ter!al and which were never first class
paved streets. They. are practically
worn out now. and have been in bad
condition always. Take for instance
Madison avenue to Grape park. The
council felt that It had to economic,
and instead Of putting down the best
pavement that money could buy. they
laid so-called macadam. using soft
limestone. Most Of that pavement has
blown over adjacent fields and gar
dends In the form Of a white powder
and some of 1t has been washed away
by the rain. But very little remains
and the street will have to receive at
tention before many years shall have
passed. It will have to be repaved.
And II is quite safe to assume. that
no council will again use soft lime
stone for a macadam pavement there,
and 1t Is safe to say that the property
owners would not tolerate a repetition
Of that experiment. If macadam was
little cheaper in cost than real
pavement. on the other hand its life
was less than ten years, while the best
pavement ought to last ten times that
long on that street, making 1t SO cheap
that there is no comparison beween
the two.
