ENGLAND's NAVAL BUDGET.

 the Estimates.

 the Estimates.
 London, August 8.-Replying to crit icism of the naval expenditures in the House of Lords today. Lord Selborne. first lord of the admiralty. defended the outlay. He said 1t was more important now than ever that British battle ships would be of the largest and best type.
 Referring to submarine boats, Lord Selborne said their value for defensive purposes had been abundantly proved He did not believe submarine boats had reached the limit of improvement of usefulness. The lessons from the war In the Far East were the impor- tance of the personnel. the necessity for having a margin of strength, and the fact that without battleships no power could hold or win command of the sea.
 Lord Selborne said the offer of Lord Goschen, made when he was first lord of the admiralty, that if other nations would agree to diminish their rate oi shipbuilding, Great Britain would not be slow to join the movement, had not been withdrawn. but the conditions now were complicated.

Cupid Handicapped by Country Rooas

1 New York Evening Post
 Cupid isn't getting fair shake" in the country districts of the United States, according to MT. Archer B. Hubert. an authority on the historic highways of America. ." In his lecture
 to the students of the summer school of the University of Chicago few days ago on Future Road Building MT Hulh"rt explained that a smooth,
 well-kept country road. pleasant to drive upon and built with an eye to the development of it's aesthetic quali- ueS' IS the most powerful enemy to
 race suicide. On the other hand, a muddy, rough road. which repelled the youth who would take his girl a-bug- sY-ridin acts as check on matrimony.
 In the cities nowadays, where the bouleVards and avenues are usually
 well paved and smooth, Cupid is busy among the automobiles and traps.
 That the little god should shun the
 country as he does now because of ruts
 and mud Is q matter for the serious
 consideration of Congress. MT. Hull
 bert added: gro bad roads may be at
 tributcd the social revolution of the
 last half century. They are responsi-
 ble for the breaking up of country
 homes and the dccadence of country
 life. Because of had roads the coun-
 try people are unaDle 10 mtngle in a social way. As a result the young peo-
 pie of the country become starved from
 q lack of society. and are driven to the
 city from sheer loneliness. For this
 reason the intermarriages among the good old country stock, which were for so many decades the chief source of strength of the people, are ceasing The question of making good roads is
 ten times more important than most of the questions taken up in the plat forms of the two great political par | ties this year" It may not be too late even now for one of our parties to
 adopt the campaign slogan of Smooth the road for Cupid!' and to change it's
 emblem to a pierced heart superimpos- l ing stretch of fine macadam highway

JURY CANNOT AGREE.
DR.. w. R. TRoTTER OF DEs
MONIES ESCAPES CONVICTION
SECOND TIME.

Des Moines, jan 25.-For the second
time a jury has disagreed in the trial
of DR.. W. r. Trotter for the murder of
Cora Lacey, of Mitchellville, by per-
forming an abortion. The case went
to the jury Friday afternoon at $50,
and after remaining out for just twen-
ty-four hours, the jury was called in by
the court, and on their declaration
that they could not agree, were dis
charged.
1t is understood that on the first
vote the jury stood six and six, and
those for acquittal one after another
till just before being called in the vote
stood nine for acquittal and three for
conviction 1t is probable that the re-
suit will mean the liberty of DR.. w. r.
Trotter.
Story Of Case.
Miss Cora Lacey died at the Trotter
home at Center and Seventh streets,
October 26, and the next day after
her death DIR. w. R. Trotter was ar
rested on the charge of causing her
death by an abortion. A few days
later Ray Gregg, a minor, and the self
confessed author of her condition, gave
himself up to Sheriff Mattern. He was
subsequently released.
The First Failure.
The first trial of DIR. Trotter was held
the first week in December, and after
remaining out all night the jury came
in of it's own volition and announced
disagreement.

LACEY TALKS FOR IOWA FARMER
In Strong Speech in The House The Hawkeye
Opposes The Canadian Reciprocity Plan.

got the change of rulers and the
change of laws. This change they
thought they wanted. We got also a
change of conditions; a thing we did
not want. They could at least say
they were not standing still; they
were moving, but they were moving
down hill. The country remembers
these conditions. 1t can not easily
forget them but our adversity re-
mained until the people once more re-
turned to protection and declared for
the gold standard and sound money.
The law was changed, and the condi-
tions responded with good cheer
Some Strong Statements.
Major Lacey compared this situation
with the situation today.
He then took up The subject of Ca.
madam reciprocity and strongly op-
posed it from the standpoint of the
Iowa farmer. Mr.. Lacey did not op-
pose reciprocity in general and even
went so far as to say that no one
thought tariff schedules sacred and
that there probably would be changes
when they were found necessary. He
advised care and consideration in ap.
preaching the matter, however.
Some of the strong statements he
made were as follows:
''The solution of the trust question
is not to destroy capital but to control
its operations"
The republican party has declared
in favor of reciprocity; republicans
heartily favor the theory, but they
want it of the kind that will recipro-
cate.
ut has never yet been possible to
draw a reciprocity treaty with our
neighbor Canada that would be just to
ourselves. The difficulty is that they
are producers of the same things that
we are. They are our rivals and com.
petitors."

Tariff Schedules Not Sacred.
Nobody ever claimed tariff sched-
ules We're sacred. They are always
subject to change, and should be
changed whenever change is neces.
sary for the welfare of the country.
Upon the question of tariff revision
prudence and conservatism are of the
first Importance
Il do not desire to condemn reciproc-
ity with Canada or any other country
with which we can make fair trade
but the reciprocity to surrender the
rights of the farmers of Iowa in order
to help a few manufacturers has not
one element of republican reciprocity p
AS the farmer has more than once
saved the policy of protection by his
vote, he has the right to be fairly con
sidered in making schedules and treat
les affecting his interests.
Mckinley defined reciprocity as
sensible trade arrangements which
will not interrupt our home produc
ton. Roosevelt says it is the hand
maiden of protection When we hear
free traders agitating reciprocity, we
may know that it is not OF the hand
maiden variety"
"The Wilson law was popular ir
Canada"
Under former reciprocity with Can
ada the balance of trade was against
us over $2O,O0O,00O year Today with
a tariff in both countries the balance is
more than $70,000,000 in our favor
The farmers of the west have ia
vored and do favor protection because
| it has preserved to them the home
market, and their products are con
sumed by employed workmen of pro
tected industries"
"How can the Iowa farmer grow en-
thusiastic over the proposition to turr
over to Canada the market that Amer
ican farmers now occupy, giving in ex
change special advantages to a few
manufacturers"
(, Had Answers Ready.
There were large number of mem
bers of the house on the floor wher
Major Lacey made his speech, and they
listented intently. He was interrupted
several times by Representative Lind
but had an answer ready for the latter
each time which sent him to his sea
amid applause from the republican
side.

Major Lacey's protection and anti
Canadian reciprocity speech delivered
in the house on Thursday is considered
the first gun from the anti Cummins
faction in the political fight which is
on in Iowa. Major Lacey, in the first
part of his speech, made a strong ar
and figures showed how the nation
had prospered under this system.
The. nub of Major Laceys speech,
however, was an attack on the pro-
posed reciprocity treaty with Canada.
Mr.. Lacey ostensibly answered a
speech made in the house in December
by Representative Lind, the former
governor of Minnesota, who was for
merly asrepublican but has gone over
to the democrats on the tariff question.
He did not mention the name of Gov
ernor Cummins, but it was generally
understood that his speech was an
swerjng the ideas advanced by the
governor in his second inaugural adj
dress. BY a curious coincidence Rep
resentative Williams. the democratic
floor leader in the house, made. a little
speech just before Major Lacey took
the floor lauding Governor Cummins
for his position on the tariff question.
Early in his speech Mr.. Lacey said:
"The republican campaign maxim in
1892 was founded upon very satisfac-
tory existing conditions. The people
were very prosperous, labor was en-
ployed business steadily increasing,
and the slogan of the party of protec-
tion was then voiced in four words,
Let well enought alone Our demo-
cratic opponents raised the battle cry,
Let us have change If we insisted
that we were doing we'll enough the
answer was to the effect, then quit it.
If we answered that we we're prosper
GUS and in sound, safe, and secure
condition the answer was move on,
never stand STILL
"The demand for a change, constant
change was asserted with great force
in every part of the country. s. We had
a change. We moved out OF loy1 into
1898 and passed from the light into
outer darkness. What the people
wanted was change of rulers and; a
change of law coupled with a renten-
ton Of existing good conditions. We
