The suggestion Of q real county
physician has merritt the intent is
to engage a good man and pay him
decently. The value of the office to
the people Of the county would be
essentially in the man himself, his
character, training and skill. Cheap
and incapable men will not do. In
stead Of an asset they would be a
liability. If physician were to be
employed as county agent is en-
ployed, if his services ana his pur-
posefulness were to equal that which
reports from the counties indicate
are being generally rendered by
those county agents. the creation of
that office would be not only SPLEEN
didly altruistic but an excellent in
vestment considered cold bloodedly
and financially. One epidemic sup
pressed at the outset or controlled
promptly may easily save a county a
million dollars.
If another office is to be created
where some incumbent shall hold
perfunctorily and draw pay from a
sinecure attained thru personal and
political influences there is nothing
to the proposition. The bill is yet in
embryo and unborn. We can under
stand and anhlyze its probable value
and its effectiveness in operation

I'M JUDICIAL CONVENTION.

Those who for reasons best known
to themselve (and very well UNDER
stood by many others) desire to re-
tain Ben Salinger on the supreme
bench OF Iowa are claiming that Sal

ballot Il, the judicial convention next
Tuesday, at Cedar Rapids. It is re-
ported that salingers strength IL

the other ten. delegates.
"Dehrdte" Is the word. Mr.. Sal
inseSs strength is readily defined
and may be traced back to It's sources
by those familiar with politics in
Iowa. judicial and otherwise.
There are ten candidates for the
supreme 1udgeships outside OF the
salinger candidacy. In the Judgment
OF this newspaper every one OF the
ten is q moro acceptable choice than
Mr., sal:Inger would be.
The judicial convention Is made
up mairly Of lawyers AS sich they
should be familiar with the records
on and of the bench Of those who
seek their support for those most i'm
portant positions they are delegated
to fill. The supreme court is the CEN
ter Of Justice and equity. It i:s the In
terpretel. Of statutes. It has the final
say as to the constituionality and In
tegrity ,,f acts created by the legis-
lature. Individually and collectively
those who go as delegates to that
convention carry a heavy RESPONSE
bility toward the people of this state.
No judicial convention ever called
together In Iowa has had 10 many
candidates OF ability ana good record
as jurists and private citizens from
which to select candidates.. It seems
incredible that the convention can
pass by such an arrays OF men OF legal
learning, juridical wisdom and ex-
perience and of popular confidence
to return Mr.. salinger to the supreme
bench.

Wholesalers and Jobbers War.

In nearly every line of business the
Jobber plays not inconspicuous
part and gets 6. not inconsderable
toll. In the grocery trade he is going
to have a fight for his life. Proctor 81

termined to sell direct to the retail
er. II they eliminate tho jobber. and
profit by the operation, big manu-
facturers Of other grocery lines are
sure to follow suit
Unfortunately for the public. there
is no promise of a reduction In prices
because of this war. 1t is possible
when the action becomes spirited
there will be some slashing, but at
present the declaration Is that prices
will be maintained.
This fight of Proctor & Gamble is
not new, but rather the broadening
of an old one. For years they have
said the jobber was overpaid for the
service he performed and that he did
not push the goods of the manufact-
urer as he should. Especially in re-
gard to branded goods. they COM
planned. he functioncd simply as a
distributor. They started some time
ago to sell direct to the retailers in
New England. Now they have broken
from the jobbers the nation over and
1t is to be a fight to a finish.
The jobbing associations thruout
the country are doing their utmost
to swing the retailers into their rauks.
The 5obbers have great lighting or
ganization thru the 10000 or 10000
statesmen they have ION the road

jobbers will not be SO strong as out
side, for the city retailer has reason
to feel bitter at The jobbers, or thinks
he has, because the jobber has sold
to the chain store people a. prices
that have made 1t impossible for the
retailer to meet the competition.

jobber will have the bulge on the

That the jobbens will fight furiously
there is no doubt. They are appeal

They're getting a good response.
Meanwhile, Proctor & Gamble are
going ahead with their plans to put

THE BUSINESS FIELD.

Recent betterment Of agricultural
prospects has not failed to affect
business sentiment favorably, but
crop considerations are not the gov
erniug factor in the immediate situ-
alton, and the advance toward mid
summer finds the lull in commercial
activities continuing.
While some of the present slowing
down Is seasonal, and Is therefore
not unexpected, yet the compelling
reasons Tor the existing Quietness
still appear in price uncertainties and
in railroad drawbacks. and financial
aspects are likewise influential.
The freight tieup, from which ade-
quate relief is unfortunately slow In
developing, causes Inconvenience and
concern to many interests. and not
only serves to prevent some transa.,-
tions that might otherwise be con-
summated. but also tends to restrict
outputs and to further initiate some
prices. liability to promptly obtain
needed SUPPLIES OF fuel is embarrass-
Ing to dependent industries, and the
accumulation Of product at man
ufacturing plants threatens shut
downs in various instances, the piling
up OF material at steel works having
reached burdensomet proportions.
Important as the element Of trans
portation congestion is, however, the
price question remains the overshad-
owing feature, and now has an In
|creasingly potent influence In shap-
ing current and future business oper-
ations. With tho conviction growing
stronger among buyers that the main
price movement win be downward
until more normal levels are estab-
lished. hesitation in entering upon
forward commitments has become
practically general, and considerable
machinery is idle in textile mills and
elsewhere because Of lack Of orders.
Not only were price declines last
week again in the majority, but
openings of new lines Of some goods
for advance seasons have boon an
nounced at appreciable reduction In
quotations, thus demonstrating the
changed attitude OF sellers. ana pre-
dictions Of higher prices TO follow in
certain quarters do not obscure the
fact that many markets arc now
yielding.
Rejecting the price readJustments
and the shrinkage in volume OF busi-.
ness. bank clearings at different
points now disclose narrowing OF
the margin OF increase over last
years figures. while the recent rise In
the commercial mortality has been

Cox agrees, if elected, to make good
the Presidents promises so that he

effect the vindication may have on
