IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Monticello Express: All that is
best and sanest in public life is from
the country or the small town.
Muscatine Journal: Observing the
effects OF few months of thrift, the
individual will be inclined to continue
this habit.
| Webster City Freeman Journal:
Bryan is an exemplary citizen. After
all, what higher honor can one attain
than to win the personal respect and
esteem Of the people Of his own coun-
try?
Davenport Democrat: The defeat OF
Ben /. Salinger as one Of the three
republican nominees for the supreme
bench of Iowa sounds the death knell
of politics in the Iowa supreme court
lit should have been sounded years
iago, but patient and unmindful pub
|; lie is responsible for the existence OF
the evil to the present day.
Denison Review: One thing that
became evident before the republican
state convention was over was that
/ the primary is looked upon as a fail
ure. Never before was there such
i universal condemnation of the law
expressed as at the convention. If the
next legislature is impressed by the
action of the late convention the pri-
mar will either be repealed in toto or
modified in many respects.
Iowa City Citizen: Mr.. Herring
will do good In discussing the reor-
ganization of the state government.
But If he really wants to go across,
and not merely to furnish campaign
argument, 1t might be suggested that
he indicate to the next governor, Mr..
Kendall, that he will support him in
every way in any effort to devise and
get through the next legislature a
workable plan. For the governors
chief difficulty will not be in laying
out a plan, but in getting a legisla-
ture, made up from every part of the
state, to accept It
Perry Chief: If he had not already
!tion when he said he and President
Wilson were one.
Waterloo Times-Tribune: Our two
newspaper men candidates for presi-
dent are talking as if the matter of
shortage Of print paper, as thing to
worry about, is secondary.
Carroll Herald: Nate Kendall is
SO eminently fit for governor that his
vote in the coming election will be
greater than the strength of his par
ty. He will be supported for his splen-
did personality, his ability to handle
public business and the favor he has
already gained in the public service

vention nominated the right NAH.

constitution, since it provides that
ssthe legislature elected before an
amendment is proposed may not act on
it.
The Nashville Banner (Ind.), argu-
ing on the same premise, declares that,
unless another state followed Tonnes
sees action and made the required
36th without it before the November
elections, it might lead to serious
national embarrassment" and the Gin

that it is necessary that the required

asks, as it well to accomplish this IN

But suffrage supporters believe
that this provision has been ruled out
by the supreme courts decision con-
corning the primaries in Ohio, where
the legislatures. acceptance of the
prohibition amendment annulled the
referendum although the latter was a
part of the state constitution. The
Springfield Republican Qnd), among
others, expresses the belief that the
question Of it's constitutionality will
hardly prevent members of the legis-
lature who really favor the amendment
from voting for it,"
AS to the situation in Vermont, the
press is largely in agreement that the
matter will at least be brought to a

The two principal stretches to be
Laird with new rails at the present time
call for the placing of ninety pounds
rails between Dodge Center and Wa
SEGA and the laying of eighty pounds
rails between Milford Siding and New
Ulm, replacing the present seventy
two pounds rails. Each of these
stretches is thirty-two miles in length.
About fifty men are now employed in
each stretch on this work and this
number shortly is expected to be in
creased to about 100 men in each in
stance. This rail laying is expected
to be completed by October l.
Another stretch of four miles of new
rails is to be laid on the WATERFOWL
division between Goodwin and Kranz-
burg. These are to be seventy-two
pound rails, replacing those of sixty
pounds. Out in Dakota the travel is
not so heavy as in Minnesota, and it is
anticipated this lighter rail will be
able to care for the traffic.
Another rail laying improvement
nearer Winona, which it is expected
will be made this season by the rail
road, is the placing of 100 pound rails
on the three mile stretch from the
valley to the bluffs in Stockton val
ley. Official approval for this project
has not, however, been announced
Included in the improvement plans
on the Minnesota division for the
present season is the gravel ballasting
of several different stretches of track,
which it is expected to undertake in
the order named: Fifteen miles be-
tween Kasson and Anderson, six miles
between Haverhill and Rochester,
eight miles between Essig and Golden,
and thirty-four miles between Spring

of this ballasting work is to be Sc

The Man Behind.

Back of the movement is the man.
Never is the logic of an idea so clear;
never is the need of an effort so CO.
gent; never is the reward of an en-
deavor so apparent as to force it's
way to simultaneous recognition and
response in the mind and will of ma
jorities. The people must be instruct
ed, prodded, inspired, convinced, per-
suaded, impelled, led.
Now everybody is shouting for the
development of a deep waterway from
the Great Lakes to the ocean. 1t re-
quires no vision at all today to COM
prehend the merits of this enterprise.
The arguments are in volume to per-
suade all who have not deliberately
hardened their hearts and stiffened
their necks. The great congress
which convenes in this city today
brings together and applies a force
sufficient to overwhelm all objection.
1t represents every interest; it assem-
bles representatives from every sec
ton of the country; it gives opportuni-
ty for expression of many phases of
opinion.
But back of this cumulative enthu-
siasm lie the faith, the optimism and
the tireless activity of one man who
for years has gone up and Down the
land preaching this waterway in sea-
son and out of season. He has per-
suaded governors of states and legisla-
lures He has forced conviction with
facts and urged action as evidence of
conviction. When the project is final
ly realized, it viii owe much, doubt
less, to many men and many infIuenc-
es, bue it viii stand as. a monument
to the perpetual honor. of Charles p.
