Our Park Board.

No city ever became great that neg.
lected to provide an attractive system
OF parks. The progress which comes
from industrial enterprises is limited.
unless the city is made good place to
live in. Parks are essential to continu-
ed growth OF any city. Many cities
have learned this fact at time when
the providing of parks cost ten fold as
much as would have been the case a
few years earlier. No city in the union
is better provided by nature with park
possibilities than Des Moines, and it is
gratifying to know that the park com.
mission is an able body.
SIDNEY A. FOSTER.
Mr.. Foster has proven valuable
commissioner. "A successful business
man, he has applied business prin-
ciples to the park system. He be.
f1evuy purhs-a ana II his ideas pre-.
vail Des Moines will soon compare
favorably with any other city of its
size in this respect. Nature has
made great park possibilities on the
river front and elsewhere and Mr..
Foster believes in taking advantage
OF natures favors. So do the people.
Mr.. Foster is secretary of the Royal
Union Life Insurance Co., a public
speaker of note, consistent repub.
lican and an unexcelled park commits

The tribes of Africa and the fa1

remains for America, our owl
country, to have made the most
rapid civilization and christiani'

that 100 years ago this part O

SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS,

While not the subject of such po-
litical scrambles, the office of sup
erintendent of schools is getting to
be one of the most important in the
county or state. The future of u
nation depends largely upon the edu-
cation of its children and the super
intendent of schools should be we'll
equipped for the important duties
of the Office. 1t is doubtful If any
previous has so satisfactorily dis
charged his duties as Mr.. j. NJ. Bren-
ton, who is now filling his second
term. The excellent condition of the
county schools and the high charac-
ter of the teachers are due to his
watchful care and moreover show
that he is capable and deserving of
higher honors at the hands of his
party. He has always been staunch
republican and few years ago he
stumped the county without compen-
sation and during the recent cam
