The Coal Strike is still hang
ing fire, and it now looks rather
doubtful if matters can be sat-
isfactorily adjusted. We hope,
however, that common sense
and cool judgement willprevail.
Again the United States has
comesforward and taken the
initiative in a question of great
interest to the world and it is
highly probable thata final set
Element will be reached accord
ing to the suggestion of the
American delegates to the
peace conference at Algeciras.
American diplomacy is in great
demand these days.
The City election at Ida Grove
Iowa, last Monday, was quite a
comedy. Two brothers-in-law
ran for Mayor, and when the
vote was counted out it was
found that there was a tie in
the vote. Both men are neph-
ews of James G. Fair, the
multi millionaire mine owner of
the west. No matter how the
tie is disposd Of, the Mayorship
will be in the family and in the
hands Of the republican party.

Leaf S majority,


The result of the days voting
leaves the Council a tie as far
as politics is concerned, and will
give Mayor James the deciding
vote on all questions of a politi-
cal character, and as he is a
Democrat, it might be claimed
that the Council is Democratic.
There are, however, 30 political
question to come before the
Council, and the City Council
will bend their efforts to the
upbuilding of Missouri Valley
during The next year. The new
members, Messrs. Watkins
Tamisia and Leet, are all enter
prislng, conservative men, and
will give their best efforts for
the best interests of Missouri
Valley. No politics entered in
to the fight yesterday, and the
election, in each ward, was de
cided on the popularity Of the
candidates among the voters Of
the ward.

MOROCCO TROUBLES
FRANCE And GERMANY PROBABLY
WILL AGREE To AGREE.
1t Is Said Both Sides Would Make Con-
cessions as to Reforms in Morocco
Paris EIated over First Ballot Be-
fore TribunaI-Most of Europe on
Side of France.

Algeciras, March 5.-One of the dele
gates having a most vital interest in
the conference on Moroccan reforms,
says that a settlement of the contro-
versy between France and Germany
now seemed possible. but he declined
to make known the lines the arrange
ment would take. However, the trend
of recent events has indicated that if
any settlement is reached, it would
likely be because France would make
concessions with refernce to the bank
question, and Germany in return would
adopt less uncompromising attitude
concerning the police.
The voting at Algeciras Saturday on
the proposition of Sir Arthur Nichol-
son, chief of the British delegation to
proceed to the immediate discussion of
the Moroccan police question gives
great satisfaction in Paris, chiefly be-
cause France has ranged with her a
large majority of the powers, while
Germany is among the small minority.
Public tension was such over the Fran
co-German controversy that the vote
was welcomed both as a success and
as showing that France was able to
count upon almost unbroken support
of Europe. French officials have
claimed for some time that if a vote
were possible it would give France a
sweeping majority 1t appears that
Saturdays division did not produce a
recorded vote, yet the powers aligned
| themselves with sufficient precision to
amount to a vote. All the French jour.
nails give the division in the form of a
vote, the eight voting in the affirmative
being France, Great Britain, Russia
Spain, Portugal, the United States
Italy and Holland, and the negative
three being Germany, Austria and
Morocco. The officials here have beer
considering Austria as doubtful and
had Austria balloted in the Affirmative
the entire vote of Europe and America
would have been ranged on the side Of
France.
The result also affects the diplo
matte status of the controversy. Ger
many wants to settle the bank ques
ton before that of the police, bu
France does not wish to grant conces
sions on the bank until she is sure tina
Germany will make reciprocal move
concerning the police. Therefore, the
decision of the conference to consider
the police question requires that Ger
MANY shall saw whether she is or II
not prepared to change her attitude
relative to the police. Germany
answer will thus determine whethe
France will yield on the bank ques
ton. The indications are that if Ger
many refuses to give way on the polio
France will not yield on the bank
thus accentuating the former deadlocl
by carrying it into the open confer
ence.
