points to be necessarily defended by

10 the duty devolving upon this same
navy a few years ago. For each point,
also, a fleet is required. Then, too, when
these defensive fleets are all at their
stations, there should be an offensive
naval fighting force adequate to meet
the enemy.
All this may not suit the ideas of
peace-lovers and anti-imperialists, but
it is in the highest degree prudent that
the nation be prepared for any emer-
gency that may suddenly arise. Uncle

WEATHER BUREAU SERVICE.

It costs the government $1,2oO,000 a
scar to make the weather forecasts
mat are furnished the people and that
appear from day to day in the press.
IS this effort OF the government appre-
dated by the people? The Times Re-
publican believes 1t is. 1t is generally
fhe first item sought for by many read
ers. For this reason. largely, 1t Is kept

weather bureau in Washington, claims
3hat 1T does. AT late meeting of the

NEWS AND ADVERTISING.

In Mondays issues of the Des Moines
News, Jan. S. appeared the following
published claim:
ADVERTISING.
The volume of advertising in the
daily newspapers of Des Moines in De-
cember, 1902. was as follows, measured
in inches:
Register-Leader :. ............ 19.02S
Capital 49,. .......... l2,404
Reduced to columns this record
means that the News published during
the month of December an average of
80 columns per day of advertising. and
an average of IS columns per day of
news reading for its subscribers. Dur
ing the same month the Times Repub-
lican published an average of 46 coll.
umns per day of news reading for its
subscribers, and that news reading ap-
peared under more special Iowa date
lines than were contained in any two
of the Des Moines papers combined.
There Is no question among publishers
but what the News gave every reader
his moneys worth. The only question
arises, was it enough for well-in-
formed man living in this up-to-date
age All publishers could put out 81
and 81 papers il that kind would suit
all subscribers. but many man yet
remains who wants only the best.

SELECTING CANDIDATES.

Just now an active interest is being
awakened in Iowa politics of a practical
character. Candidates for county and
state offices to be filed at next Novem-
her election are coming to the front. AS
is usual in year when no great issues
are before the people, and perhaps III
every other year, personal ambitions
are the moving causes that bring aspir-
Ing citizens to the front, despite the
axiom that the office should seek the
man. With minor positions. however.
This does not count. 1t is worthy the
effort of any good citizen to serve the
people in county and state offices, tho
under the political dictum that two or
more terms are all that can be accorded

satisfactory so far as offering continu-
Gus and desirable employment is in
yolyed Too often it units office hold
or for other work, or let's him out at
time when no other useful avenue
seems open to him.
The people are interested chiefly In
getting the most worthy and capable
man or woman for the place, IL 1t be
merely an executive position: and with
the party in power the aim is to get for
legislative positions, where policies are
10 be shaped. the ablest, most upright
..,oet .~na,,apnad most c,1ccassfill and
sanest men for these important posi-
lions. Personal ambitions bring candi-
dates to the front, as previously stated,
and party considerations must make
the canvass Of good qualities the touch
stone for decision. Each county Is am
bilious to send the best and most inf1u-
initial men TO the legislature. 1t is in
rumbent upon each voter to look over
he field and decide by such tests and
aot by personal friendships. These are
seneral remarks for guidance and are
not written in the interest of any par
aicular candidate.
AS to state positions, Iowa has for
many years, until recently. maintained
. high standard as to officials, but there
aave been several lapses lately that
should make the republican party more
careful hereafter; otherwise it may Elk
pect rebuke in the shape of defeat. 1t
has been true that there has been less
care exercised because of the over
wheiming majority, but this can not be
continued with safety either to the in
serests of the state or the party in

Substitutes for Coal.
rMinneapolls Tribune.I

OF all the substitutes for coal dis
cussed during the crisis of the anthra-
cite strike, the most promising seems
20 be the artificial fuel called bril-
auettes. These are in use all over Eu-
rope and seem to serve most purposes
except smelling. They are almost I'M
iversal for household purposes are used
for railroad locomotives and in most
steam making furnaces, whether for
heating or power They are made in
the main out of material that goes to
waste here in enormous quantities or
lies idle in the earth.
Mr.. Frank Mason, the American con-
sui general at Berlin. in a recent report
10 the state department, describes the
German briquettes and the process of
making them. They are of two kinds
The so-called household br;quettes are
made from brown coal and carbonized
peat, and are used for CRATES heating
stoves and cooking ranges. They are
clean, burn readily and are cheaper
than coal. The so-called Industrial
brquettes, used for steam making and
other industrial purposes, are made out
If bituminous coal dust or slack, the
waste of the mines and places where
coal Is stored. These are more dirty
md smoky than the household bri-
quettes. owing to the coal tar which is
used to solidify the dust 1t seems to
oe possible to press the brown coal and
beat into blocks without adding any
thing that makes a dirty smoke.
The method of manufacture is simple
and could easily be introduced into this
country. The material is abundant and
easily accessible. All thru the hard
and soft coal regions are mountains of
slack or waste, which could be turned
INTO the industrial briquettes. The
brown coal of Germany Is nothing else
chan the Ignite, which Is present In
Inexhaustible quantities all the way
rom the Missouri river to the Pacific
coast. AS the demand for coal in
,resrses with increased activity of in
lustry, we shall probably see extensive
use of this cheaper substitute

CORN ANp com.
ISinnx City Journal. i


The auditor Of states report of the
condition of state and savings banks in
Iowa shows that the deposits on Dec.
last had decreased more than s5.OO0.0O0
from the total reported on Sept 10. The
showing is not surprising one. NO
doubt the decrease may be accounted
for by the large number of farmers who
found themselves with no marketable
corn on hand and We're compelled to
buy stock for feeding purposes. This
not only kept away from the banks the
money which ordinarily would nave
been realized from the sale of corn, but
it caused a withdrawal Of funds to be
used in carrying the stock. At present
prices for cattle the investment has not
been proved so profitable as was hoped,
but eventually it will result in market

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

The Creston Advertiser observes that
TT is small clientele of Iowa republic
cans who are opposing and condemn
ing Albert b. Cummins, and the claim
on their part that all who do not believe
as they do are unsound politically is
somewhat of display of nerve, If it
does not possess the merit of common
sense"
The Brooklyn Eagle is OF the opinion
that the decision of the English court
holding labor unions for damages done
under their direction ''is of far reaching
Importance and theoretically correct,
altfo II may be readily seen how 1t may
be made a means of oppression"
Referring to the demand for tariff re-
vision the Humboldt Republican de-
clares that "The people should not be
made to suffer to build up individuals
or corporations. There is a feeling
that the steel corporations and that of
tin plate are now making prices that
they would not make were duties lower.
This being true, moves are made to
have them reduced. There seems to be
a most determined fight on hand, but
when the people demand it, it will be
done. Laws must work for the masses
The Hampton Chronicle favors the
nomination of State Superintendent
Barrett. Mere political considerations
and repetition of terms should not
weigh in this office. 1t believes that by
virtue Of that service he is qualified to
give the schools of the state the admin
lstration which efficiency is supposed
to warrant"

BOARD of control hints that another
hospital for the insane is needed in

prevent. 1t would be cheaper in every
way than asylums."

To kiss the fair haired child,
And each thought of the days to be

But knew loves tNll and care:
Its burdens oft had been to her

One had not known the burdened hands.
But knew the empty heart;
At life's rich banquet she had sat,
