TODAY'S BIT OF VERSE
THE ROAD NOT TAKEN.
Two roads diverged In a yellow wood.
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down ode as far as I could
To where It bent In tie undergrowth!
Then took the other as just as fair.
And having* perhaps the better claim
Because it «.«* grassy and wasted wear
Thcash as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same.
And both that mornibg equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day
Vet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted If I should ever come back.

Somewhere ages and ages hence
Two roads diverged In a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

REPEAL THE PRIMARY LAW.
'The Gate City hopes that when the Iegisla
ture meets at Des Moines for the next session it
will have the courage to set immediately about
repealing the direct primary law* It is t,o be
confessed^ that this hope is in the homing and
that the first cry of the infant may attract the
attention of the men who have been sent to the
^capitol for the purpose of registering the will
?lof common sense. This "election -reform,"
'which was not only going to put an end to all
bosses, but to render politics pure and unde
filablc has proved itself an incubus and
something worse than a fraud. This has been
the experience not'only of Iowa but of other
|L states.
It is the high sign of popular government
that the majority should rule, but by a scatter
ing of individual votes in favor of minority
candidates this is-denied. The direct primary
has rendered the process of seeking a riomina
tion so costly that only those with a full
pocketbook or who can secure liberal financial
backing can afford to compete. It is subversive
'of the representatives form of government and
ought to be abolished.
Let the Towa legislature set the example.
COSTLY DELAY AT WASHINGTON.
No reason has been given at Washington for
delav respecting two matters, on© executive and
Die other legislative, calling for prompt action.
Not less important than the immediate ap
pointment of a tariff commission is enactment
in the senate of the Webb bill permitting com
binations of manufacturers engaged in export
trade. This measure was passed by the house
at. the last session, but while it was approved by
the president and endorsed by leading com
mercial organizations, it did not come to a fin
al vote in Ihe senate. Certainly there is no ex
cuse for delay now. No one who has given
much thought to' the matter doubts that
American exporters need the freedom to form
such combinations as are permitted and en
couraged by foreign governments.
The federal trade commission recognizes this
need, and it has said that exporters in the
United States should be given a more nearly
equal opportunity of securing business in other
countries than they have heretofore had." The
statement does not go far enough. Equal, not
more equal opportunity, is what is required in
the interest of American commerce. Until the
Webb bill is on the statute books, the doubt
which the commission says exists as to the bear
ing of the anti-trust laws upon attempts to
co-operate
in foreipm trade will continue, and
exporters will not know what they can do with
out danger of prosecution.
With a tariff commission of tjie right sort.

OUR HURRTSSGLIVES.
Life insurance presidents 'whose companies
carry nearly all the twenty billion dollars of in
surance Americans have taken out met in con
vention a day or two agp and heard some in
teresting talks. One speaker told them that
extravagance is the great American sin and
that our wastefulness, individually and collec
tively, is extraordinary and no longer to be
viewed with unconcern. They learned also that
the average American is deteriorating physical
ly and dies at about forty years of age. He
looks pink and healthy, is a good liver, hurries
through life, has no time to waste and
with the aid of new knowledge and inventions
to crowd the experiences of two lifetimes into
one. He is meeting some success in this en
deavor, but the strain is telling on him and
the power of our people to resist fatigue and
the physical stress of modern civilization is de
clining rather than advancing. We are chang
ing from physically inactive lives chiefly out
doors to physically inactive lives in the caves
and pigeonholes of our modern dwelling
places. Perhaps we must look for heightened
mortality until we have adjusted ourselves to
these new living conditions and it is reason
able to conclude that our tree dwfelliug ances
tors had much the same experience and insur
ance rates rose rapidly with them when they
forsook the trees for holes and caves.
DEMOCRATIC GERMANY.
Maximilian Harden, the German editor and
publicist, is bold enough to say that what his
country needs is a parliamentary government,
restriction of armaments, international arbitra
tion and a government that will keejj,the peace
instead of always planning and preparing to
wage war.
Can anybody doubt that Germany will some
time have a government of this kind? Or
would it not be well for her to have it as soon
as" possible 7 Would not such a government be
able to end the fighting at once or soon, vith
out the intervention or suggestion of any neu
tral power, by a fair and honorable peace If
this much be admitted, the next and naturally
arising question is how that government is to
come into being. Is there any reason to be
lieve that the
kaiser*will
ever voluntarily abate
one jot or tittle of the prerogatives on which he
has always been so determinedly insistent? Is
there any reason to believe that the crown
prince, the head if not the brains of the mili
taristic party, would have a place of power in
this new government that Harden wishes and
foresees? To some observers
it
looks as though
the people, disillusioned by the disasters autoc
racy has brought upon them, would decide to
see what they could do in the way of governing
themselves.
The Germans are by training and tempera
ment the most efficient people in the world.
The things that industry led by science can
achieve they do with greater patience and per
fection than any other race. Much of their so
cialistic legislation is the^best that earth has
seen. Can it be argued therefore that they
would not make an even more successful ex
periment in democracy than the excessively in
dividualistic English-speaking people of the
world whose ideal of government is one that
leaves them most alone to do as they please?
There are minds from which the convic
tion cannot be dislodged, unless time does it,
that the result of this war will be to socialize
after the German fashion the entente states and
to give the Teutons the practical democracy of
England or th« actual democracy of France.
Villa seems to be a rising star just at pres
ent. He may gain a great deal of strength be
cause of his qualities of generalship in a mili
tary sense and masterfulness in every sense.
The United States cannot afford to do other
wise than to treat him as a murderer unhung.
If the public is able to ^verify the Washing
ton statement'that eight per cent, of retail prices
consists of the cost of delivery, there may be
sudden recourse to the well known but general
ly despised market basket.
After spending hundreds of thousands of dol
lars the various investigating committees will
reach the perfectly good conclusion that prices
are high.
We earnestly hope that he postoffice depart
ment's admonition regarding economy in time
will be applied relentlessly to federal red tape.

"Left-Hand Walkers" and Others.
To the Editor of The Gate City:
In the local paper of a neighboring
city I recently saw a contributed
article pertaining to the prevalence
on their streets of the "left-hand
walker," but to anyone desirous of
seeing the "critter" in UB highest
development I would suggest a visit
to Keokuk. In no city with the
streets of which I. km familiar have
I observed so many pedestrians who,
either ignorant of the customary
highway laws or willfuly disregarding

buildings give way to the right of
the opposing pedestrian with only a
look of curiosity which says: "I won
der where you are from that you are
unacquainted with Keokuk manjier
isms.' But the latter class often
crowd the man, insistent on his right,
into Vie street. They gaze at one with
an astonished stare which reminds
me of the old story of the man who
single handed hung the Jury, and
afterward complained that he had
there met eleven of the contrariest
men that be had ever seen.
I was recently standing inside a
bank window watching the passing
throng outside when a near-by stran
ger remarked to me: "It seems to
me that Keokuk needs the silent
policeman on the sldeyalk more than
It needs them in the middle of the
street." When I observed: "You are
not a resident here?" he continued:
"I am from 3t. Joe. But I never saw.
so many people on a street who In
sisted on keeping to the left side."
While among the "left-side walk
ers" the men are in the majority,
there is another organization, quite
^peculiar to Keokuk, in the member
ship of which women largely pre
dominate. It is the "sidewalk
blockade," and it may be some sort
of an auxiliary to the "left-hand
walkers."
On any pleasant Saturday evening,
and frequently on any such after
noon. one may encounter the "blocK

pedestrians are forced into the street.
The proceedings of these sessloisj
which one overhears as "he passes by
are such as might take place in back
yards in almost any town, and they
are at quite as much consequence.
On a pleasaat afternoon In the late
fall I was amused by a group of this
sort gathered in front of the Weber
building. Among its members,- but
plainly a non-resident, was an old
lady who, standing to one side her
self, persisted in plucking her com
panions one after the other by the
sleeve to call their attention to the
fact that they were blockading the
sidewalk. The old* lady reminded me
of an old hen mothering a bunch of
young ducks which had just discov
ered a pond of water, and the mem
bers of her group were regarding the
anxiety of the old lady with the
same attention that swimming ducks
regard a fussy old hen.

MINNEAPOLIS TO KrEOKUK
SCENIC HIGHWAY
Des Moines Register: Some months
ago the Register suggested in a tent
ative way approaching the state of
Minnesota officially with the view of
securing interstate co-operation lor a
soenic highway from Minneapolis to
Keokuk along, over and through the
bluffs of the Mississippi.
Was that a wholly visionary pro
posal, with nothing to justify tt to
the practical hard sense of a state
like Iowa or a state like Minnesota?
Or is there something in what other
states have projected and are al
ready doing to not only hint an op
portunity to xjf mid western states
but to actually rap us on the
knuckles?
In the first place, and this Is a
consideration of the most practical
sort,, such a scenic highway would
cojmeot cities and ooammlunlttefl of
far greater commercial importance
that any similar road in the United
States, and possible than in the
world. If the reader will but let
his thought follow the Mississippi
from Minneapolis to Keokuk he will
see that he is running along a great
commercial route, partly because the
Mississippi was the' original avenue
of traffic in the early days, but large
ly because subsequent conditions
have favored the cities and towns
located along the river.
We have said a great deal about
our great transcontinental roads like
the Lincoln highway, and locally the
Rivet- to River road, the White Pole
road, etc. But what one of them
serves now or will serve in the future
a greater community than would be
served by a Mississippi river road?
Another practical consideration l?s
this, that a road along the bluffs of
the Mississippi can be built at much
less coet per mile thaa other states
are spending-.on their senate raids.
In Pennsylvania ihe state road from
Philadelphia to Pittsburgh, crossing
the Allegheny mountains, runs for
several hundred miles over one moun
tainous range after anoUier, through
an unprofitable and sparsely settled
country. But the state road "f Pann
sylvania cannot be mentioned with
the Columbian highway of Oregon
from the junction of the Hood river
with the Columbia down to Portland,
through an unpeopled wilderness, out
for the most part through solid •rock
at tremenodus expense, and as sub
stantially built as an old Roman road.
The state of Washington is build
ing a road About the base of the
Olympic mountains. Its length wtoen
completed will be between 300 and
400 miles. Tliere is not now and
never can be any considerable settle
ment along the pond, On one ?ide
will lie the blue waters of Puget
sound or of the Pacific ocean, and on
the other will rise the^snow capped
mountains abruptly from the water's
edge. The hundred or more miles of
road already completed give but a
hint of the soenic beauty of the ride
