THE SOLID SOUTH.

No democratic governor and no
democratic president is in position
to discuss honest elections so long as
the solid south remains solid. Presi-
dent Wilson has always made him
self forget the evils OF the solid
south. In fact he has loved the solid
south. and the road to his political
favor has been a record of southern
birth. We are not advocating the
turning of the south over to the
black man: but we are saying that
he ought to be permitted to vote or
else he ought not to be counted in
the democratic behalf in the cleo

THE MESQUAkIE POW WOW
[Tama HeraldI
In the opinion of a good friend of
the Indians the field of corn grown
by John TIA Ia Push, near the field
where the Pow Wow was held, meant
more to white men with az vision
than any dance in which the Indians
could engage. And not one of the
throng of white men and women who
probably gave that corn field a
second look or a first thought. And
yet It is doubtful il there is better
field of corn or one freer from weeds
on the farm of any white man in the
state.
Indian dances are all very we'll; a
Pow Wow without them would be
disappointing. The reproduction of
the old tepees, comomn enough only
twenty years ago when w. r. Lesser
was Indian agent and now gone for
ever. and a vision of the old-time
Indian family life-all of that would
be of great interest from a historical
view point and would draw thou
sands of spectators.
But let the Pow Wow also show
the development of the Indians along
rental. social and financial lines.
There should be exhibits such as the
Indians make at the county fair. Let
the white boys and girls learn that
Indians OF their age can vie with
them in reading and spelling. Let
the white farmers have visible PROOF
that the Indians can grow as good
potatoes and beans. Let the clean

CORN ROOT nUT IN IOWA.
IWallace Earmer.l

In recent editorial we stated that
we did not believe that corn root
rot was at all serious in Iowa In
reply to this editorial we have at let
ter from Mr.. Fl. H. Biggar, who has
spent several years in corn work
with the United States Department
of Agriculture. He states that last
fall he visited a corn field in Iowa
which was as badly affected with
this disease as any which he has
ever seen in Illinois. He has also
found considerable infection in the
corn of South Dakota and Minnesota.
He thinks that the disease is exact
ing IA tremendous toll in the corn
belt and that Iowa corn is Just as
badly infested as Illinois or Indiana
corn.
Another side Of the corn root rot
disease is presented by Professors
Barnett and Hughes in the work
which thoy are dong at Ames. In
ear-row work with corn they have
often found that the highest yielding
ears were those which were Dup
posed infested with Iusarian or corn
root rot. They are not at all certain
that the disease is very serious un-
der Iowa conditions
Personally we rather incline to
the view that weather has lot to
+. do with the development of the dis
. ease and that in ordinary years ii
is not at all serious under Iowa con-
! ditions.
