she would also be unavoidable. '1tis

The report that the battleship

made q while ago. This was denied
by Chief Constructor capps. The

Of the navy, has electric power doors
which in time Of danger can be closed

the means and methods of avoiding
catastrophes at sea were very differ.
ent from the Improbable elimina-
ton Of means of passage from one
part Of a ship to another When the
ship IS going into action or known to
be entering fog or any dangerous
locality, the officer Of the deck closes
all the doors from the bridge by means
of the emergency station there. This
Emergency closure does not n any way
AFFECT the easy opening Of the doors
locally BY power when any Of the crew
wish to pass through. Any one can
open the doors locally by the same
means and just as easily as Il the
emergency station closure had not
been made. After passing through the
door in such a case, the door closes
automatically.
"rhe whole operation Of these cleo
tric power doors means practically
that tie ship Is made safe in ttme;
that the ship is always running with
tcr doors shut while in a dangerous
locality, and that therefore. she Is in
an unsuitable condition when the IN!
expected happens.

Nothing that has been given the SOL

beyond their deserts. The soldiers
homes, the pensions, and the political
prestige universally accorded candi-
dates with war record, are all little
when compared with the services of the
great army of the republic. The vet
Grams of the civil war have been a
special class in the affectionate re-
membrance of a grateful people. To
the old soldier this suffices. He resents
any attempt to nail down by legisla-
ton the distinction he won with his
blood, and has kept by his manhood.
Whatever the constitutional status
of the soldiers preference law may be
it is probable that the law if left to a
soldier vote. would be incontinently
wiped off the statute books. If submit
ted to G. A. r. encampment very
likely it would meet the same fate.
With the sentiment of the soldiers be-
hind them it would seem that the leg
islators need not fear to meet the
question squarely and repeal law that
is mostly productive of litigation and
of little real good.

SOLDIERS AND THE PREFERENCE LAW.

Expressions by leading men among
the veterans of the civil war indicate
that the repeal Of the soldiers prefer
ence law would meet general approval
among those whom it was intended to
benefit. To illustrate a prominent
Marshall county veteran writes to the
Times Republican thus:
When l saw that piece in the Times
Republican the other evening that the
soldiers in Des Moines had circulated
a petition petitioning the present leg
islature to repeal the soldiers prefer
ence law, can tell you that nothing
gave me more pleasure than to see that
steps were being taken to accomplish
that end. The reasons say this are
are follows: All the soldiers their
dependent ones of the civil war, are
well taken care OF by general govern
ment as to pensions. Then this great
country is all covered over with sol
diers' homes, many of them being ma
tional homes, while in almost every
state there is a state home. In the
state of Iowa there is a law of exemp-
ton from taxation of his property if he
is poor, or his widow is poor. just
simply say that as an ex-soldier my
self, do not care to have us people
as a class brought into bad repute.
That is the whole secret with me, and
all such legislation as the preference
law will do So We should as a class
stand up boldly for our rights, and all
honorable soldiers do, but the prefe-
renee law gives us more than our rights
and is class legislation. When our
legislators get onto that kind of ground
it is dangerous to our constitution and
also dangerous to us as a class. Then
we have another law against taking an
old soldier to the poor house. l will
simply say in conclusion that we do not
want the earth and this big cry that is
made for soldier preference is not from
the honest soldier but from what we
called the skulker when we was in the
army, I mean the man that allowed
the good soldiers to do all Of his duty
while he reported to the doctor, and
played off sick, thus getting rid Of his
duty and eating up the grub that the
cook had saved for the mans break
fast who had been doing his duty the
night before. / am very truly yours

that he lend his aid to the court re-
view amendment without avail. Inc

siye. The railroad gang conceived the
plan to have Tillman present the bill to
the senate, first in an effort to rob
Dolliver of the prestige he had earned
and because Tillman's open attack
upon the president might naturally be
supposed to have made him the last
man whom Roosevelt would have Sc
lected
This Foxy Grandpa business has
proved a boomerang. Dolliver, with
his bill on the floor, is not immediate
ly concerned as to who presents it. The
president, showing all his teeth With
pleasure commends Tillman as "a
game fighter" and says: you know
he is honest" 1t is another instance

In Iowa. instead of discrediting Dol
liver the Ellkins- Aldrich crowd has
made Senator Delivers position COM
handing. Dolliver has assumed the
place he should long ago have taken,
the fighting leadership of the corn
country, the great agricultural en-
pire that lies west of the Wabash. To-
day he is the field leader. No senator
works harder than Senator Allison. No
other senator is more faithful to his
duties in committee. None is wiser
counselor, but it is asking too much
to expect the venerable senior senator
to head forced marches and lead as
saults in person. Dolliver, always
strong, now aggressive, is the field
captain par excellence. Behind him are
the forces of the middle west, the virile
farmers and business men who are
soon to be the dominating force in
government. Every knock against Dol
liver and Roosevelt by corporation
senators is a boost in the middle west.
Dolliver has made a good senator.
He is now in the way to become great.
He is leader. No other western
leader is stronger in or out of his own

''Those Page county primaries seem
to have accomplished the work that
was cut out for them,' observes the
Council Bluffs Advertiser
The Creston Advertiser is convinced
that there is a distinction between
executive and Legislative offices so far
as tenure of office is concerned"
IF Delivers rate bill carries there
is strong possibility that he will be-
come the peoples choice for pres-
dent" suggests the Manson Journal.
''Why not Senator Garst for lieuten-
ant governor" inquiries the Carroll
Herald. THAT office for the last
twenty years has been filled by men Of
guberna torial size, men who have been
candidates for nomination for the head
of the ticket"
"'The issue is squarely defined" in
sists the Odebolt Chronicle. '1rhe per-
sona1 integrity and ability of Mr. Mr..
Perkins cuts no figure. He is the cam
didate of the railroads. and his nomi-
nation will be victory for the rail-

Remarking that straws show which
way the wind blows the Scranton

Burlington Hawkeye quoted Secretary
Shaw as follows: He sees no issue
in sight on which 1t would be possible
to maintain a factional division in the
republican party of Iowa, and that
George D. Perkins, of Sioux City. will
be the next gubernatorial nominee"
This news came from the home Of

FRACTIONAL OPPOSITION.


The proposed state primary law
seems to be opposed in most localities
more as matter of politics than FOR
any real reason. The daily papers
who are urging against its adoption
warn the public that cities will con-
troll the nominations of county and
state officers if the law is adopted. and
some of the country papers argue that
there is absolutely no show for the
minority party; and that the primary
is easily manipulated while the cau-
Gus is not. No doubt the counties
where large cities are located would
have their politics and candidates
dominated by the cities: but that 's :
much a fact under the caucus as under
a primary system. After a one-sided
trial of six years during which almost
the entire republican vote has been
expressed each year, the body of the
republicans of Delaware county are
satisfied with the primary system and
would dislike to have it discarded. It
would be more satisfactory of course
o have the primary guarded by state
'aw and have all parties nominate on
he same day. The cities are morally
md politically corrupt under any sort
II political regulation: the rural dis
riots will enjoy the privileges of
,tate primary law, and we miss
ruess if the cities will be able to COM
nand the politics of the counties ~
tate as easily under such regulation
IS they do now under caucus mampu-
