Specia! to Times Republican.
Des Moines, March 1S-The plans for
the new state warehouse together with
the specifications have been given out
to contractors who desire to figure on
the work and it is expected that the
bids will be in hand by April l, when
the board of capitol commissioners
will award the contract. The plans
show that the Improvement will in
every way be credit to the state.
The entire main structure of the heat
ing plant which Is located across the
street from the state capitol, will be
torn down and work was in fact COM
this building. The warehouse will
cover the entire lot frontage, facing
100 feet toward the state capitol. The
building will extend back 40 feet. The
present boiler house will remain undis-
turbed as also the smokestack. The
front of the building will be Of blue
Bedford stone and there Will be a gran
lite coping and granite trimmings. In
the interior there will be two stories
and deep basement. On the first
floor will be six large rooms, each one
fire proof and entirely separate from
the others, in fact immense vaults. The
main room for storage will be to the
east. An open corridor will extend up
thru the second story. 1t will be ar
ranged so that the books and mater
ials for each state official can be kept
separate and under lock and key, so
that there will be perfect safety for all
the states valuable, property and es-
pecially the records. The office rooms
will be to the west and over the drive
way to the boiler rooms. The general
appearance Of the building will be mas
sive and solid and in perfect keeping
with the state capitol itself. A large
number of contractors have called for
plans and specifications. The offers
on the roof for the state house will be
considered at tie same time.

Home again.
We have roamed in the fragrant fields.
We have lived with the murmuring
trees,
We have heard the love talk OF the birds
And the whisper of the breeze.
We have rocked on the laughing wave.
Where the breaker tossed its foam;
Now we turn again as tho bright days
wane
To the happy hours of home.
For not on the mountain top
Nor in the softest vale
Not where the CANVAS fills and strains
To the boisterous summer gale.
Not in the secret wood
Though the restless heart may roam
The world around can joy be found
Like the joy o. love and home.

To supersede the Crown Prince.

Meanwhile steps are being taken with
a view TO the crown prince waving his
rights OF succession to the Saxon throne
in favor Of his eldest boy. the now ten
year-old Prince George. who would in
that event ascend the throne as King
George ii. on the demise of his grand
father. the present sovereign of Saxony.
The regency would be undertaken by the
youthful monarch's uncle. the childless
and popular Prince John George OF Sax
ony. pending his nephew's majority, and
it is well-knOwn fact that this project
meets with warm approval both at Ber-
lin and at Vienna. in each OF which
capitals John George is far more popu-
lar and rs considered an infinitely more
capable man than the crown prince.
IL is noteworthy that on the occasion
OF the banquet given in honor OF the
Kaistr's birthday the other day at Ores
den. ii was Prince John George instead
of tho crown prince who presided in the
place Of the still ailing Kiag. and in all
public functions and state affairs it is
Prince John George and rot the crown

The Saxon Divorce.

With regard to the stories current of
the impending annulment by the Vatican
of the already legally dissolved marriage
between the Crown Prince and Crown
Princess OF Saxony. there is but little
truth in them. and inasmuch as the sue
cession to the Saxon throne is assured
by the fact that the crown prince has
three little boys. there are no reasons
Of state or Of a dynastic order 10 render
IL necessary that the crown prince
should marry again.
1t is true that the Catholic church at
the Vatican will in rare instances an
null a marriage when it can be definitely
proved that one OF another Of the par
ties has been forced into it. and 1t was
on this ground that the first marriage OF

But They Fail TO Turn Director Conried

We learn with sorrow and some APP

politan Opera House, and some of the

Hshed. Listen, for instance, to the

ski:
~ am afraid that Mr.. Conried will
have TO expand a great deal from the
management of a little German play
house to the impresario of the mar
velous, the wonderful, the great Met
ropolitan Opera Company. He may
be a good stage manager, but he will
have to learn that great vocal artists
cannot be bullicd, driven, or whipped
into getting around for o'clock
morning rehearsals like the little Ger
man actors of his little German the
ater"
Thus, It will be seen. the storm sig
nails are flying, and if Herr Conried
were a timid navigator he might be
tempted TO- anchor in the offing and
not put out into stormy waters until
the wind had lulled a bit. But he IS
not.
On the bridge of the German bark
which he has safely steered through
many troubled waters and past many
a lee shore he has always been un-
questioned master. We wager he will
continue so to be on the operate bat
tleship which he is appointed to com
mand. Perhaps it would be well to
keep out Of the zone Of fire of even
his sub-caliber guns. As for the -
