VALUE OF THE EDITORIAL PAGE
Washington, Iowa. Press,

Washington, Iowa, Press
:. A good deal of discussion arises,n now and
then, over the value of an editorial page
In newspaper. There are all sorts of opin--
ions, about whether newspaper ought to
have any editorial opinions and whether
it ought to express them or not. There
are as many different views, perhaps, as
there are readers Of newspapers, every
body having his own notion about the
matter, as he has perfect right to have
We may be mistaken about it, but our
humble opinion is that a newspaper with
out an editorial page is like a church
without a preacher, or like beefsteak
without salt, or like ice cream soda with
out any fzz. Who cares for the church
without a preacher, or if there is preach
er and he is one who has no opinions, and
press them? What is beefsteak without
salt? It Is fiat and tasteless and as life
less as some Of the newspapers we see that
have no editorial opinions We also like a
newspaper editorial with some snap and
some fzz. What If an editorial is not al
ways expressed in the most elegant Lam
guage, If it goes to the spot and does the
business, who cares? Quinine is not
pleasant to take but it is said to do lots
of good II properly administered.
A newspaper without opinions is like a
man without any head. We would as soon
see headless man stalking around the
square, attempting to tell folks how to
run their affairs as to have newspaper
without any views on any subject, claim
ing the support OF the national God
fearing people.

Let the Army Build Roads.

While General Miles recommendation
that the cavalry of the American army be
reduced by five regiments and that there
be organized in it's place a sort Of corps
Of automobiles, bicyclists and motorcy-
clists, Is question for military men, there
Is phase of it that interests the public.
The members of this corps of Ave regi-
ments are not only to be trained in the
use Of these modern vehicles, but they are
to study the roads Of the country on which
the various kinds Of vehicles might be
used, and, moreover, make those roads.
1t is the suggestion regarding the build
ing of roads that may make General Miles
suggestion popular. The possibilities Of
good roads construction with five regi-
ments Of the American army at work on
the highways are fascinating.
The American army does things. 1t
possesses high degree of administrative
talent.
Witness Porto Rico, Cuba and the Phil
ippines.
Turn 5000 men under military discipline
to the road problem. supply them with
machinery and tools and they would &C
complish wonders. Their work would DO
done, too, with little or no increased cost
to the government The five regiments of
cavalry, with their payrolls and all the
costs Of maintenance, are now sustained
by the government and they are not per-
forming work of present utility, tho their
constant preparation for war may one day
be valuable. But turn them, or an equiva-
lent force, to making good roads and they
would be doing constructive work while
keeping in preparation for the destructive
work of war.
Why, indeed, is it not possible to go a
when not in active service, for part OF
the time, at least, in the construction OF
public works? It is indisputable that the
army can get better results than any civil
system Of organization. 1t would not be
bothered with strikes or INSTRUMENTATION
there would be no defaultng contractors
no quarrels no bankruptcy proceedings
no failure to pay, no swindles.
All that the government would have tc
do would be to show the army the job
and Immediately the dirt would fly, there
would be a minimum of windy talk and
deeds would be done.

Forestry Matters.

So many interesting subjects were dis
cussed at the national forestry conven-
ton in Minneapolis this week that it is
ment they deserve.
Til e J ourn ! cannot forbear, how
ever, to express its regret that the con-
vention failed to demand the immediate
repeal Of the stone and timber act. The
question was brought up, but a committee
insisted that the matter should be left to
1t to handle, and SO the convention did
not speak its opinion on the subject. This
committee doubtless has some plan in
view for comprehensive legislation re-
garding the public timber lands in place
OF the present laws, but it is hard to UNI
derstand why the convention should have
been kept from emphatically expressing
of an inquitous law.
It is immaterial now what the purpose
of congress was when it passed the stone
| and timber act and like acts injurious
| to the best interests Of the nation, and
| 1t is now Of no Importance whether any
| OF ILL OIL IueIH nave served IL SOOQ puIpOS0
III the past They are not serving good
purpose now. The sooner they are re-
pealed the better. The final destruction
OF the great natural forests of this coun-
try Is only generation away. The time
| has come when the government must ad-
minister all the timber lands it has left
with a view to serving not only those
who reside in their immediate vicinity, or
the men and women of to-day, but the
American people everywhere, their chill
dren as well as themselves.
| Minnesota is so fortunate as to have
thru the Morris law the beginnings of a
national forest in the Chippewa forest re-
serve. 1t is to be hoped that the recon-
| mendations of Mr.. Bruce, the lurnbernoan
of the bureau of forestry in charge Of the
reserve, will be carried out, and that con
gress will make provision for consolidating
the now scattered portions of the reserve
by purchase from time to time. The peo-
pie of Minnesota can do the forestry
movement and themselves great service
by insisting that the administrator and
development of the forest reserve shall
have free hand.

THE MAGAZINES

Intimate Portraits full-page of Jan

wife of the yachtsman Iselin. There is
a sketch of Joe Pulitzer, the apostle of
yellow journalism and there Is COM
prehensive talk on "Radium and Human
Life by Theodore Waters. Emily Wat
son talks Interestingly and with ilIustra-
tions about '"The Hunters Month" which
is September. Emily Crawford writes un-
convincingly about a future federation
the United States of Europe, with many
pictures Of the royalties. There are sew
eral very good stories, and Alexander
Hume Ford contributes an illustrated pa
per on Children of the Stage He says
he never found a father capable Of earn
ing "a living who wished to place his chill
dren on the stage; it is the mother who
wants them to take their chances there.
