A leading republican daily says
"There will always be capital
available for the construction of
iron furnaces and steel mills ex-
cept in the contingency that a
sufficient supply of ore can not
be obtained" If the steel cor
poration shall become the owner
of the ore lands it will have a
natural monopoly and will oc-
cupy an impregnable position.

had to depend on the inferior

Seventeen republicans and
thirty-fou democrats, total of
fifty one senators, desire to vote
for the admission to statehood
of Oklahoma, Arizona and New
Mexico. Thirty seven republi-
cans oppose that desire and are
filibustering to prevent vote.
The senate is thus stultifying the
policy of majority rule.

may and always will preach
against laws regulating any form
of vice or immortality, and in
favor of prohibition, and in the

be right. But practical people
will recognize the fact best ex-

revenue she has lost, and ask
yourselves if you would wish the

nse laws, make the penalties for
illegal traffic in liquors more
rigid and get along without pro-
hibitive laws.-Silver Nugget.

Two hundred years ago people
had smallpox as we now have the
measles No class was exempt.
From 1871 to 1905, in the city of
Berlin, 1922 people in million
died every year of this disease;
today, thanks to rigid system
of vaccination, the rate is less
than one in two million. Our
health laws are too lax in this
matter o, vaccination and with a
little more care on the part of
health officers and more drastic
legislation we ought to be able
to lower the death rate from
smallpox to the Berlin proper

The temperance reform people
are striving to have a local option
law passed by the Idaho legisla-
ture. Their proposition is to
have a law passed to provide that
majority of the voters of pre-
cinct may file a protest against
granting liquor licences in the
precinct; and thereupon the com
missioners shall be prohibited
from granting such licences.
This looks fair enough on gener-
al principles. 1t can never be
said that this paper ever opposed
any proposition which would
bring about reform or check
the evil of drinking, and would
certainly favor this movement if
it believed good results could be
accomplished by it.
But observation has taught
that about the same amount of
drinking will be done, especially
in new western towns, whether
it be permitted or prohibited by
law. 1t is better therefore to
regulate and control the evil than
to pass prohibition laws which
do not prohibit. An illustration
of this is shown in our rigid anti
gambling law. Gambling is just
as prevalent an evil and nearly
as open as when it was licensed
and under police surveillance.
Formerly it was taxed and a
good wrung out of the evil by
it contribute largely to

POOR FARM SYSTEM ATTACKED.
Dr.. Herriott Reads Paper at Des
Moines Meeting Yesterday,

Des Moines, Nov. 13.-Dr. Frank T..
Herriott, professor of economics in
Drake university, attacked the poor
farm system in a paper before the
state conference of charities and COR
rections Wednesday.
He said it would be cheaper for the
state to board poor farm inmates at
the best hotels in Des Moines than to
keep them the way they are now kept.
The paper is backed by statistics and
provoked considerable discussion. A
storm was raised at the afternaan
meeting by a statement by Rev ]. H.
Remington, rector of the Episcopal
church at Fort Dodge, that it was inn
pertinent to ask after a mans soul
when he was hungry. A spirited de-
bate followed on the question of ma
terial versus spiritual Christianity.

Built for Business.

The new Courier office is built for
business, for the special use of this pa
per and for the convenience of our pa
irons and friends. We believe that it
is a structure that is not only credit
to this paper. but one in which every
citizen can and will feel just pride.
When the Courier management found
that it was necessary, in order to prop
erly handle its business, to provide
new and larger quarters, it was deter
mined to build for the future and erect
a structure that would be amply suffi-
cient to take care of any probable de-
velopment of the business for the next
twenty-five years. This has been done
and it goes without saying that the
management of the Courier is greatly
pleased with the result. The expense
has been heavy, but we believe the fll-
ture will demonstrate the wisdom of
the same and that it will rebound not
only to the benefit of the Courier but
to the entire business interests Of this
city.
