WE NEED THE NAVY.

Senator German in his Thursday
against the appropriations for the up
building of the American navy. 1t was
q part OF the desperate effort of the
democracy to create an issue for the
coming campaign. Senator German de-
cried the large military and naval ex-
renditures and the lack of appropria-
Hions for river and harbor improve
ments. The senator's attack upon the
naval appropriations was simply an
effort to make partisan capital by
charging the administration with a
desire to build UP a system of militar-
1snl at the expense of the commercial,
interests of the country.
The attempt will fall fiat. In the face
Of facts the republican party is not to
be charged with neglect of United
States commerce and above all by a
democrat Of the German stamp. His
attack upon the navy will be repud-
Hated by the voters, to whom it was
primarily addressed. The people of
the country are in favor of powerful

warfare, but as a necessary defense.

ton for railroad commissioner. Not
only does the committee report that the
bank was insolvent for more than a
year prior to it's failure, but that short
ages and Irregularities appear on the
books. The committee does not desire
to pass Judgment upon the latter until
Mr.. Brown has been given an opportu-
nifty to explain. A feature of the re-
port that is unfavorable to Brown is
the showing that in last April divi-
dend was declared when. according to
the committee the bank was insolvent.
From this dividend the Brown family,
it is stated, received $4,000 of bank
money. 81 Ed C. Brown, presi-
dent of the Sheldon State Bank. was
silent partner In the cattle firm of John
w. Fix & CO.. of Primghar, according
to the testimony of John w. Fix given
before Chauncey L. Joy. referee In
bankruptcy in Sioux City, in his ex-
animation for the benefit of creditors

ment that Ed C. Brown was backing

Sheldon State Bank. as a member of
