that it is to be germaie TO the subject

might have most efficient executive Of
fcer In accepting this inferior POSI-
ton Jones first set the pace for those
who were to come after him. Later
he set the pace again by an effort to
drive Saltonstall out Of the navy, an
effort SO determined that II required
all the influence OF the friends of Jones
to keep him from shooting the New
Highlander In duel. For Saltonstall
had proved himself wholly unfit for
command. and Jones was determined
that no such man should wear the uni
form.
Having urged that aggressive war
was the best defence for the colonies.
Jones in time applied for the command
Of the frigate Trumbull. He thought
It would help the cause to show the
French frigate like that merely as n
sample Of what the colonies could build
not to mention the influence of what
he hoped to do with her He got the
sloop Ranger instead. On her he put a
battery Of fourteen nine Founders and
four skies instead OF the twenty skies
intended for her--a characteristic act
and on October 2. 1777, he reported
her ready. but he held her back until
the battle Of Saratoga. 1t makes the
blood OF the patriot tingle to this day
to read how q MESSENGER rode for thir-
ty consecutive hours from the foothills
OF the Adirondacks to Portsmouth, New
Hampshire. where the Ranger lay.
II will spread this news in France In
thirty days." said Jones, when he got
his sailing orders. and In spite Of
twelve days OF fierce northeast squalls
and three Of southeasterlies, he land
ed in Nantes in thirty-two days.
The influence OF the work done with
the Ranger was far-reaching. Jones
had advocated aggressive work, and
now he showed how to do II. He
alarmed the coasts Of the enemy. He
attacked and captured the Drake, ship
of superior force. The excitement ere
ated in Europe by this small battle was
, tremendous, and for the very good
reason that in 1t was then demonstrate
ed for the first time that British ship
could be compelled to surrender by an
enemy that was at best of no greater
force.
And that was not all az had lost no
opportunity OF training them in great
gun exercise" wrote Jones OF the RAN
gers crew. II ia a matter OF record
that in the battle with the Drake "ey-
cry shot told. and they gave the Drake
three broadsides for two nj that" He
demonstrated. what Farragut said lat
er. that "the best protection against
the enemy's fire is a well-directed fire
from our own guns" The influence
of Jones in this matter is apparent to
this day.
II was during the first half OF 1892
that Jones contemplated accepting the
command of the French fleets. In a
letter written to a lady In July of the
latter year, he speaks of his health be-

We agree with the Journal
that no cabinet officer should seek

own efficiency. We think we

THE SOLID CENTER THAT
CONTROLS.
THAT

Speaking of Senator Allison his
standing and record of service,
the Seattle Times makes the fol
lowing thoughtful remarks con-
corning Iowa and the Central
States.
"Just consider for moment
what this stretch Of public life
means. For more then onethird
of the life of this United States OF
America Senator Allison has been
in the law making body. Yet he
has not held his seat from Massa-
chusetts, nor from Virginia-but
from West Of the Mississippi. He
went from the corn country, from
the state of great farms, great
crops, sweet butter and fine hams,
and has won the record for the
longest service under that con-
stitution which made this a new
nation.
West Of the Mississippi live the
people who have said "AlIison-
Allison-Al until the cham
pions of snobbish Massachusetts,
and Colonial-dried Virginia, have
had to step aside and acknowledge
a imam from the West" as their
Dean. Truly has it been said
that the West is no longer a
geographical location-but a
mighty factor.
The center Of population Of this
country is now but the width Of
one state east of the Mississippi.
The centre of wealth and of man
ufacturing lies nearer to Chicago
than to the Atlantic. The corps
Of the country are from the West.
The gold goes from the West
and Alaska. The commerce of
the future is TO De the commerce
of the Pacific.
We are not getting old yet, but
, we are getting provincial. New
. York, St. Louis or Seattle will
aprove it. A man of any one Of
these cities is so busy and SO
proud of his business that he
rather pities the remainder of the
country. We of the Coast who
are doing new things should
remember the solid center that
has made us. You of the crowd
ed East should remember the
solid center that controls you.

THE CEMETERY PROBLEM.

At the last meeting Of the Com
mercial Club it was decided not
to push the project for the pur-
chase of the cemetery ~ the city.
This was done on account of the
opposition the plan met and as
it was felt that nothing should be
done to disturb the peace and
unanimity of the community.
This does not mean however
that less interest is taken in the
plan of securing the permanency
Of the cemetery and perfecting
plans to make it beautiful city
Of the dead.
Ascommittee was appointed by
the club to devise ways and
means for securing the ownership
of the cemetery by an association
and general meeting for the con
sideration of the matter will soon
be called. We trust that every
citizen having an interest in the
cemetery will respond when the
announcement of this meeting is
made.
For our part we regret that the
municipal ownership proposition
has been abandoned as it is the
only plan that absolutely assures
permanency. The cost would
have been slight for the individual
tax payer and we feel that an OPP
portunity for creating an era Of
good feeling, for the destruction
of prejudice and factionalism, has
been missed.

It is said that there is but single
university professor in the Protestant
theological faculties Of Germany today
who adheres to the traditional verbal
inspiration" Of the Bible. In lengthy
discussion Of the subject in Reforma-
ton, Pastor Anderson Of Flensburg de-
clares that the doctrine Of verbal in
SEPARATION is not an integral part Of the
faith Of the evangelical church, but is
the invention of theologians. BE says
that Luther knew nothing about it. but
that the idea was taken up originally
to have some weighty authority to Off
set the comfortable authority of the
Roman Catholic church Furthermore,
the reformed church came to regard
the Scriptures as Christian legal CO.
dex, and verbal correctness had to be
insisted upon. Pastor Anderson holds
the doctrine to be false because of the
thousands Of variants in text and the
fact that the sense will often admit of
from five to twenty different explana-
lions.

CABINET AMBITIONS.

The Sioux City Journal either
says more or less than it means
when it criticises any cabinet
officer having Presidential am
billions. One cannot but gain
the impression that the Journal is
not entirely frank either with it.
self or with its readers. We agree
that no cabinet officer should try
to build himself up at the expense
of the President. But no cabinet
officer would be foolish enough to
do this, nor dc we think President
Roosevelt would long retain such
a man in the cabinet.
The President is a keen man, he
is bold man, he issIa man who
despises under-handedness. With
these we'll known qualities of the
President to contend with it is
safe to say that no manlcould re-
tain cabinet portfolio long
should he adopt the tactics in
situated rather than stated by the
Journal. The fact that Roosevelt
has retained his present cabinet,
presidential possibilities and all,
is sufficient proof that there is no
treachery in the cabinet either to
him or to his policies.
AS to presidential ambitions,
they are harmless. They even
exactmore than ordinary caution,
efficiency and desire to make a
creditable record. 3The desire
for promotion is almost the only
thing that makes any man do his
level best in the ordinary affairs
of life. At times a man may rise
above self, in the lstress of great
events, on the battle field or a,
periods Of great emotion, but or
dinarily promotion, either ir
wealth, or position or ease or cul
ture or in public esteem, are the
moring factors in life. To say
that cabinet officers should be
without ambition is to say thai
they shall be mere machines to dc
the will of the president, rather
than advisors and intelligent help
ers for the furtherance of the
presidents and theirsown reputa'
tions and popularity.
1t is supposable that the presi
dent knows that either Mr.. Taft
or Mr.. Shaw would gladly accept

Mental vigor In Old Age.

The prospect of reaching old age is a
bugbear to some minds because 1t is
feared that mental decay naturally fol-
lows upon long life. Mental vigor
should last as long as life, and it can
be made to prolong life. An English
specialist in brain diseases, DR.. Duke,
maintains the theory that the brain
rusts out by inactivity and that it is
the retired business man and the mus
Gle worker with no intellectual fads
who have softening Of the brain and
drop off in an apoplectic fit
Granted a normally good physical
condition, hard intellectual activity pre-
serves youthfulness. Thinking draws
blood to the brain, and the brain needs
blood to keep it in health. Brain worry
is not brain work, and it is worry, not
work, that kills the farmer and busi-
ness man before their time Gladstone,

ness and social interests lose their spur
Business men and scientists rest their
brains by making hobby Of rhyming
or Of literary production. There is

Nebraska, LaFollette, of Wiscon-
sin, Carter. of Montana, and
others. The veteran soldier, SEN
ator from Tennessee, Gen. Bate,
died as a result of exposure dur
ing the Inauguration, and as re-
suit it will be necessary to install
a new colleague to the fiery Sena-
tor Carmack. In spite of the pop
ular notion that the Senate is a
body of great stability and infre-
quent changes in membership a
scrutiny of the records reveals
the fact that if is shifting body
in a larger measure than is gener
ally supposed, and that changes
in its membership are frequent
and many. Within recent months
numerous changes have come
about in that body. Hanna and
Quay have passed on; DIETRICH
and presumably Burton and Mitch
ell, will have to go back to private
life; Quarles was driven out in a
factional fight; cold" Cockrell was
victim of the Redemption Of
Missouri the latter two, however,
have been handsomely provided
for by federal appointments. The
record made by our own veneer
able Senator Allison recently in
surprising all predecessors in
length of service in the Senate
has again brought him into the
lime light of publicity, or rather
merely intensified the light. When
the political historian of the Unit
ed States shall deal with past pol
icies and issues and trace the pro-
gress of craftsmanship during the
last quarter of the roth century
and the first decade of the 10th,
he will, if he be just, assign to the
senior senator from Iowa the role
of master spirit, shaping and di-
recting policies and measures. In
years to come his contour will
stand silhouetted against the far
sky of the past as that of a seer
and statesman; his work is funda-
mental and needs not revision or
readjustment; he works in unison
with the primal, elemental forces
of social and political evolution.
He is said to be ultra-conserva-
tive. In this seeming fault may
be found the secret of his remark
able achievements. He builds
for all times, and not forithe plaud
