THE NEW EMPIRE.

The southwest, not many years ago
the grazing grounds OF the buffalo, lat
err the refuge of men Of whom none
asked questions regarding past or an
cedents, the home of the ruffian and
the bad. man, is awake and moving
with the new civilization that has been
drifting diagonally south from the
northern states. oklahoma is ready for
and deserving of statehood. Indian
Territory is busting with business.
Texas has thrown away its revolver
and dehorned it's cattle. The Cow
country" is changing into homesteads
the cattle ranges into corn and cotton
fields. The new southwest is coming
to the front as a factor in the indus
trial and political life of the republic
Nothing better illustrates the great
change that has taken place than the
fact that the southwest leads all other
sections in railway construction. pro-
posed and underway. Eight thousand,
four hundred ana thirty -tlTee llllleS VI
the $4,000 scheduled for are listed as
certain to be built. OF this the south
west is credited with 3,4SS miles. The
extreme west is credited with 3,137, the
northwest with 1921, the south Atlantic
states with 1,462, and the gulf and
Mississippi states with 1,173. In actual
railway building the southwest leads.
Still further in the lead is the south
west in live railroad projects, of which
it has 1924 miles, to 1,549 in the Pa
cific states, 1,200 in the northwestern
states, and 1,173 in the gulf and Mis-
sissippi valley states. In Texas 1926
miles are under contract, in Oklahoma
and Indian Territory 1854 miles, in New
Mexico 253 miles.
And all this was Great American

country" a section given over and I'M

pire has been founded.

TERMS:
RAISE THE MuLCT TAX.

A law has passed in Ohio making
saloon licenses not less than $1,000
Chicago, where the saloon license has
in the past run down to a mere baga-
telle, frightened by the increase of law
lessness and crime, raised the license
fee to $1,000 in the hope of reducing
! the numberio of drinking places. All ovei
the country there is a general tendency
to recognize the retail liquor traffic as
an evil and regulate it by the imposi-
ton of high license. Whether Chicago
will succeed in limiting drinking places
by means of higher license fee de-
ponds upon the enforcement of the law
There is no doubt that as the fee rises
the number of open grog shops de-
creases.
Many saloons mean low saloons Low
licenses include low dives and these
dives are exchange and clearing house
for criminals. They offer a central
gathering point for the worst elements
of society. Theq are the criminals
club. the political scoundrels' main de-
pendence. The low saloon district is
the dangerous district. The brothels
group about it. The crap game -four
ishes back of the barrel house. The
tramp lodging house occupies the upper
story. The doggery and brutal crime
go hand in hand. And the doggery is
a product Of low license fees.
Iowa's mulct law is practically high
license, but it is not high enough. Too
many saloons run by cheap and ire
sponsible help and owned by outside
brewing interests exist in smaller Iowa
cities. The traffic will stand another
thousand a year and this is a traffic
that should carry every imposition 1t
will bear and then some. Twenty sa-
looms in city of $4,000 paying $l,20o
each annually might better be ten pay
inf $4,000, or better still, five paying
1000 Raise the mulct tax and elm
mate the doggery.

minis of Iowa, could have made such
a mistake as to think that q railroad
attorney would sit at the senator
RIGHT hand at committee meeting,
and stimulate his tagging spirits into
u hostile examination of witness
who advocated railroad rate legisla
ton. After the senator's long career
of dsinterested public service 1t must
be indeed bitter for him 10 be so mis-
interpreted and so maligncd.
Mr. Elkins tells us that If he per
mitted himself to be swayed by sell
fish motives he would be much more
radical" against the railroads than
he is. He is ten times as much Il
shipper" he says. as he is q railroad
man. His shipper" interests should
certainly dominate him were it NOT
that he is Determined to give the
pending bill that consideration which
his oath as a senator requires"
We have a vague recollection that
Senator Elkins is a shipper of coal
in West Virginia. and that West Vir-
ginia coal stands in some kind of a
relation to West Virginia railroads. We
have even heard that the bigger the
shipper the more intimate that rela-
ton is, and that court records exist
which throw illumination on the
point. But let that pass
Senator Elkins. with his white soul,
has taken up the cudgels "in defense
of the senate, not of himself" He
wants ito put the senate right with
the people," Iowa governors who tell
what they saw and experienced, when
Mr.. Elkins expected them not to see
it, or, at any rate, not to tell about
it, are warned to be more discreet In
their behavior henceforth.
The next thing to expect is that Sen
ator Aldrich will sport a fresh pair of
wings and look surprised when any
body refers to his joint grandfather
hood in third generation of Rookie
fellers, or that Senator Clark will tell
us that his Arizona mines are such
trifles that they couldn't possibly have
any influence on his statehood vote.
The public Mysteries" that we are
beginning to hear a good deal about
may perhaps in some respects deserve
the name, but IL they should deserve
the name a thousand times over they
couldn't possibly be so nauseating as
the Elkins brand Of senatorial white
wash.
When Governor Cummins makes
some more observations We'll be glad
to have him report them.

THE PROPOSED NEW BATTLEsHIP.

Stirred perhaps by the example Of
Japan which is to build two $4,000
tons and is discussing one of $4,000,
and Germany, which is considering
vessels of $4,000 tons, Secretary Bona

building of sea monster of 1900

heavier batteries are now part of the
nolicy of the sea fighting nations.
France, among the others, will great
ly increase the weight of her naval
armament. There will be much build
ing of warships for the next few years.
Secretary Bonaparte desires to keep
pace with the movement. He wants
