THE NEW TAY BRIDGE.
Undoubtedly the Greatest hallway
Bridge In the World.

Bridge In the World.
Ecight years have not yet passed since the
world heard with horror that the great viaduct
across the Tay had been blown down BY .
storm on the night Of Dec %, and passlng
train full Of holiday-makers plunged In tho
black waters below. Yet with such energy
has the work Of reparation been pushed fos-
ward that to-day the government inspection
of the new bridge will commence; 80 that this
great link in the railway communications Of
the north may In few weeks be completely
restored The old bridge was begun In June,
1871, and completed on the 3Oth Of August,
1877, though not opened until the 3lst Of
the following May; SO that 1t stood for barely
eighteen months.
The vanished structure Is said to have cost
$3.50, 900. This fact-apart from the disastrous
loss of life which its fall cntailed, and the
doubt as to the possibility Of constructing .
stable viaduct across such on estuary-might
well have discouraged the railway company
from pcrseyering In their project Indeed,
there We're not wanting alarmists who declar-
ed that to re-erect the viaduct was simply
tempting Providence and wasting the share

Britain there is no room for repentance.

THE people of Iowa paid Il big rounG
sum for insurance last year. For all
kinds or i,,aurance they paid out the

back in the adjustment of losses only
The sum of Si,13,3l0Ot. This left til,
companies for expenses and profits the
cn0rmouS sum of 5000, 1919. This
is a mlgn,y big margin. The people of
Iowa are paying dearly enaHgh for life
and fire insurance. For every dOiiar
paid out in premiums they get back
only about twcnty-eight cents in the
payment Of losses. Notwithstanding
This pVDft Of more than seventy per
cent on iowa n..-."esS the companies
will continue to maintain thc,f cumbi-
nations and high rates. The risks are

THE candidacy of Hon. Hiram G..

THE candidacy of Hon. Hiram c.
Wheeler for the governorship has been
independently and admirably conduct
ed, and with the other candidates he
may be credited with vigorous con-
test. An unusual interest has been ex-
cited among voters As to who should be
chosen for this Office, an interest pro-
noted not only by the earnestness of
aspirants but by the fact that issues
are involved which directly effect the
business of the state. The situation
has been so closely canvassed that the
people are well prepared to express and
maintain preferences. In the political
field Mr.. Wheeler is comparatively a
new man, but he has taken occasion to
SO clearly state his position OH promi-
nent questions, and his untaltering re-
publicanism is so well established, that
he stands on equal footing in public ac-
quaintance with those who have been
public servants for nearly quarter of
a century. The fact that he is new
man has only prejudiced his case to the
extent that professional politicians and
wire workers lave resented the inva-
sion of their domain by man who has
not worked up through the scale of po-
litical Vaccinations, but this influence
has been met and possibly overcome by
the much larger class who have taken
pleasure in assisting in the promotion
of worthy and capable citizen. The
facts have been developed that Mr..
Wheeler is a thorOugh-going business
man, a successful farmer and stock
raiser, Of extensive experience, and
above all man of broad and compre-
hensivc views. Ills superior ability and
loyal devotion to public duties are I'M
doubted, and those facts being recOg-
nizcd he is being widely supported.
The issue of locality can in reality have
but little to do with the case, but all
else being equal, Western Iowa is ell
titled to the nomination and should bG
unanimous in presenting Mr.. Wheelcr'S
name to the convention.
1t is fair statement and one that
can be proven by investigation that
Mr.. Wheeler is the first choice of Au-
dubon county. From the first of til,
year farmers have taken an interest in
his candidacy, and that not SO much in
opposition to the other candidates as
in the belief that he is in every way fit
ted for the position; that he is mar
of the people and that in the executive
chair he would bring whatever power
with which that Office may be invested
to bear on the side that would promot,
| public interests. Several counties il
northwestern Iowa have expressed theil
preferences by instructing delegates t,
the state convention for Mr.. Wheeler
and if an expression is taken in the \u
iuJon county convention next Thurs
day we are sure it will be in tn,
Wheeler column. The county is in ia
vor of his nomination by decided ma
jority. but whether the convention vii
instruct we must wait to know.
