ing died sometime ago. The re-
mains will be brought to Cambridge
for interment although at this time

DEALING FROM A cold DECK"

elements, effort to stir prejudice and
arouse i'll feeling are not new in the
game Of politics. Seeking the social

begging the radical vote by favorins
Naturalization" endeavoring to
arouse resentment by alleging ILL
treatment of service men all this and
more that Mr.. Brookhart finds of
use to his candidacy is nothing
new. Many candidate for con-
gress has promised one postoffice to
half dozen satellites as reward for
service rendered-but In the end
there was only one postoffice and
very often none OF the promises got
it. Just how Mr.. Brookhart would
fulfill his platform pledges in the I'M
believable event of his election no
/ body knows, Mr.. Brookhart probably
least Of all.
The situation of Governor Hard
ing's supporters in his first cam
paign illustrates the situation fair
/ Iy. The vets took assurance from

mate ways and worked night and
day to return Harding. The mud

Certain big businesses sent the can

worked. The vote was concentrated
at the ballot boxes.
What then? Ask the vets. Refer

nation. Speak to Old Jim Pierce
about it. What promises were full
filled? OF course that little incident
| where Pierce resigned" from the

counted as kindness between friends
but it was a negative rather than an

NATE kENDALLB EXPENSES.

Nate Kendall has filed q statement
Of his expenses In the campaign as
nc promised the voters should DO
done Of May I. UP TO date Mr.
Kendall has expended Sl,5s4O7 in his
campaign. OF this sis6.2o has gone
for postage stationery, cards and
pictures have absorbed s447.75. tele-
phone and telegraph, s2S.fl. photo
graphs and cuts s43.so and the re-
mainder has gone for railroad fares,
hotel bills and the hire of a stenog-
rapher. The above amounts are
complete and full statements OF ex-
penditures, directly and indirectly
in his canvass for the governorship.
Mr.. Kendall has itemized his ex-
pendltures. That is the main thing
in the statement in which the voters
are interested. What the money has
been expended for means more than
the amount expended. Mr.. Kendall's
expenses have been the common
necessary expenditures Of candidates.
It is now up to the other condi-
dates to be equally frank with the
voters In a sworn statement as to
how much and for what they are
spending their money. Mr.. kendaii
is under no legal obligation to pub
lish his expense account before cleo
ton but ne believes that the PUBIC
Is interested In the disbursements OF
candidates and that the people have
a right to know before election when
the knowledge will assist their 1udg-
men: OF candidates.
In this he Is right and his frank
ness Is to DO commended. Are other
candidates in a position to be equally
frank and open with the voters?

II the signs OF the times point to any

tcrloo man went to an eastern Wis

new truck. Coming thru southern
Wisconsin he found everywhere good
roads Of gravel, but II was different
after he crossed the Mississippi at
Dubuque. From that city to Water
loo, 95 miles, he required eight hours,
and a large part OF those eight hours
was spent between Dyersville and

could make II or 10 miles an hour

Go north and one can tell the moment

stands at the bottom of the list with
the rottenest roads among all the
states OF the north. The trouble Is
| that Iowa is afraid to loosen up with
it's money and build good roads. that's
all.
| Wisconsin and Minnesota have
good roads, even tho not paved roads,
| because they are not afraid to spend
part of their wealth for material out
of which good roads are built, and
then they keep them up. The road
| from Waterloo to Hudson, which is
far ahead OF the average public
highway in Iowa, would not pass
muster for day in Wisconsin.
We are Just muddling along; fid-
ding away and worrying thru after a
| fashion: losing time and money
rather than spend some money and
getting efficiency and something for
the expenditure. Because the cost Of
dependable roads Is high we daily and
hesitate and stall. Is 1t reasonable
to suppose that with food. clothes,
machinery, lumber and everything
else under the sun out Of sight in
price and with land from $3.50 to $500
an acre. and farm hands getting $40 a
month and board, and city workers
getting from Ss5 to $50 week, that
permanent roads can be built at the
price they cost three years ago?
Why not look the situation square,
~ in the face? n Iowa lands are
stable at present prices. then the
present price OF paving Is not excess
sive. The cheapest thing and the best
paying Investment in connection with
Iowa land worth $3.50 per acre is a
paved road built at the price current
today. II this statement of fact does
not make q dent now. It will later. =
