NEWSPAPER READING.

Davenport Times.-The one thing
that strikes the foreign visitor to this
country Is the way the people here
continually and everywhere read
newspapers. The newspaper habit is
simply a habit of keeping in touch
with passing events. But there is an
other reason, too. which is to be found
in the newspapers themselves. They
are not ponderous affairs neglecting
everything except the greatest events
and politics. Everything that a man
or woman ought to know to make his
life more pleasant and give him great
er convenience finds place in the
American newspaper of the right sort
News is whatever interests. Conse-
quently the news field is limited only
to that which is unusual in any de-
partment Of human activity-politics
letters, industry, trade, commerce, re-
ligion, education and SO on. Almost
any person, picking up such news
paper, will find something of interest
to him. In addition to this there are
more romances, queer things and re-
markable incidents in actual occur
rences, than are to be found in now
els.

Reserve company had been held up
by "so-called examiner" sent out by
the Iowa insurance department in
1890. The Statement made is that
one Max Beehler had been sent to New
York by the Iowa insurance depart
ment, taking his son along as assist
ant. and lad examined the Mutual
Reserve company. He then PRESENT
ed bill for S4S9 for making the So
called examination. Rather than sub
NIT to what was considered e.-tortion,
the company withdrew it's business
from Iowa but little later paid the
bill and in addition another one of
S346 to Beehler for 'tyerifcation" of
his previous examination, in order to
get permission to resume business in
Iowa.
This testimony brings out facts that
are we'll known to have existed in the
Iowa insurance department under the
notorious State Auditor Merriam.
The case of the Mutual Reserve COM
pany is not the only incident of SINH
lar "hold-ups" authorized by ia erriam
and in several cases, as we are in
formed, carried out by him personally.
This whole business was rotten to the
core and a lasting disgrace and dis
credit to the state of Iowa. Governor
Cummins recommended to the last leg
islature that the state should REIN
burse the insurance companies which
had been held up by the so called insur-
ance examiners sent out by Merriam.
No action was taken. however, but If
Iowa is to be relieved from the odium
of this disgraceful proceeding on the
part of one of her state officials, every
insurance company that was mulcted
by Merriam and his henchmen should
be reimbursed by the next legislature.
At the same time law should be
passed that would forever make it i'm
possible for state official to disgrace
the fair name of Iowa in similar
way in the future, without suffering
the severest penalty of the law, which
penalty should consist, on conviction,
of term of years in the penitentiary.

UNEMPLOYED coRDITE MAKERS.

New York Globe.-Among those ir-

man for blowing things up oordite
stands very high. It is the British
army explosive.
Stimulated by the fact that every
body else in England out of a Job is
making Mr.. Balfour's life miserable
by parading and "demonstrating,"/t the
English cordite makers, whom the
general peacefulness Of things is be-
ginning to drive to less destructive
pursuits, marched in a body to the
war office the other day and demanded
more war.
Anyway, they said, If you won't
make war on somebody. at least keep

MARK TWAIN AT SEVENTY.

Mark Twain is 20 years old. The
creator of "Huckleberry Finn" "Tom
SAWYER" and their like has passed
that milestone which is supposed to
mark the end of mans walk through
this life here below three score years
and ten. But he is still hale and
hearty, still able to look upon the
world as place of amusement and of
pleasure, still able to say the droll
and funny things that have brought
smiles to the faces of all his readers
IN days gone by. And an admiring
and wondering world wishes him many
more happy years, many, many more
Samuel L. Clemens is a product of
the middle west, product of these
states salong the Mississippi which
have given to the nation some of her
greatest men. He grew up along the
old river, learned it's secrets as boy
and gave them to the world as man.
He was a poor pilot so old rivermen
say. but be Away was good writer.
It took hulnor to do the writing he did,
and Mark Twain had and, happily,
still has the humor.
Not all can grow old gracefully, and
judging from the life of Twain, the best
plan Is to remain young With the

New York in honor of his birthday.
Though it seems full to the brim of
foolishness,l it holds moral that is

Of everyone.

cHAFEEE PREDICTS WAR.

General Adna R. Chaffee at a BAN
quet given in his honor at Los An
geles this week, told his hearers that
the United States government is sure
to be drawn into another war. Just
when or with whom it will be he did
not state, but he intimated that the
struggle will be with Japan for an op-
ponent and the ownership of the Phil
ippines for an issue. Though there
is nothing highly pleasing about such
a prophecy there is no doubt much
logic in what Chaffee says, and it is
we'll that military men should begin
now to warn the people to be- pre-
pared for an armed conflict This is
necessary, as the general says, be.
cause this nation is not military ma
ton, as are the Japanese. Here the
efforts are turned in avenues of peace
full kinds, while in Japan and in many
of the European nations the first
thought is for war. General Chaffee's
remarks show that he has studied the
question and his advice is good. He
said
Gentlemen, war will come again.
There are. plenty of men in this room
who will see our country at war again.
Not on our own soil, perhaps; you
must remember that we have now be-
come one of the nations of the earth.
We have great interests to defend.
when that war comes we must be
intelligently prepared for it.
Modern war is not what war used
to be. No one is now fitted to COM
mand troops who is not scientific
and well-trained man. Modern war
must be scientifically treated to save
human life.
The japanese are military people,
but we are not. We do not get on
with military preparations as they do,
but we should be ready for conflicts"
1t is not pleasant to think of rush
ing into war, but, as Chaffee says,
America is one of the great nations
now and she must be ready at all
times to hold that position against the
infringements of any other power.
