effect of the transatlantic subsidy is
said to have been responsible for MIR.
Grosyenor's offer of a substitute for
the original subsidy bill combining the
payment of bonuses to lines between
North and South America or Pacific
lines. This measure found some
friends that the first one could not
secure, but antagonized many support
ers of the Gallinger bill MIR. Sulzer,
Of New York, has bill which bases
the amount of the subsidy on the size
or the cargo, a device which he and
his friends believe will enable small
steamship lines to get their share of
the gratuity which under other meas
ures would go altogether to the big
fellows who can get along without IT..
1t is predicted that not one of these
measures will get out of committee
this congress. In the house three OF

soever, and the remainder of the COM

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.
Council Bluffs Nonpareil.)

Council Bluffs Nonpareil.)
Capital punishment may not be an
imperative need to satisfy the people
and insure against lynchings. Capital
punishment wiped from the statute
books by the hand of the legislature,
instead of rendered a by-word by the
action OF courts and governors and
then rigid and stern adherence to the
code of punishment left, with less
clarifying of technicalities and more
reverence for absolute justice when
justice is in plain view but for the
technicality-that would be SO much
better than this. record. Nine men
sentenced to death in Iowa in ten
years escaped the penalty pronounced
upon them by the courts. That's what
hurts. Not that they were not hanged,
but that they were sentenced to be
hanged, under law of capital punish
ment, and then permitted to escape.
And we doubt not that the same rec
ord holds good down thru minor Of
lenses and minor judgments. The
abatement of the law at one point
weakens all law. We should get down
to an honest, serious basis, taking all
pretense and uncertainty out of the
law and the methods OF its enforce
ment, and then adhere to that basis.

he had been deceived he backed out of

When Mr.. Guggenheim said one in 300,
he referred to the more or less repu-

SHIP SUBSIDY PROSPECTS.

No flattering prospects are before
the ship subsidy bill in the present
session of congress. Correspondents
are limiting that the administration
support, which has been indicated and
predicted to be of a strong character,
is not what the supporters of the bill
expected but lacking in warmth to a
notable degree. 1t is noted from Wash
ington that few measures before con-
gress have created so much talk of
graft and of lobbying. That money
has been spent lavishly to influence
public sentiment is an assertion easily
proved. And yet the extension of the
subsidy system, to which the repub-
iican party is pledged in it's platform
and which has the active support Of
most of the powerful leaders Of that
party, makes absolutely no Roadway
The middle west is against a ship sub
sidy and has conveyed it's attitude to
it's representatives not uncertainty. All
in all the subsidy bill has hard road
to travel.
The present subsidy for trans-At-
lantic lines cries out against further
subsidies.
1t is noted that the existence of the
present subsidy for trans Atlantic lines
subsidy, so far from stimulating the
establishment of new lines or the
building of new ships, has practically
stopped both. Mr.. Morgan has the sub
sidy. 1t brings him $4,000 Anoth-

There has been great deal Of criti-

be Intensified by the fact that his &C ;

that Governor Cummins made mis-

excellent record so far as the extension

concerned. 1t is in pleasing contrast

the PRESS AND THE PREACHERS.
Now and then some one who has
learned a great deal about newspaper
| making by not making a newspaper
per. 1t is 10 contain very much that
all people with common sense already
know and very little that the average
man and woman want to know quick.
Crimes. casualty, politics and the STIR
ring events of the passing day are to be
minimized and ancient history set
under scare head. Now and then
some enthusiast trys it-with his own
money A month brings conviction,
sixty days, certainty. He gets out
with more understanding and less
money than he butted-in with.
1t is refreshing to turn to two cases
where men whose main business is
morality and religion dipped into the
newspaper business, if only for day.
The ministers of Kenton, Ohio, took
over the News-Republican, published
and ran it as in their judgment the
apostles might have done had they
been on earth and in the business of
making a newspaper. The clergymen
made no startling innovations. The
paper came out with the usual grist
Of news, good bad and indifferent.
Crime and casualty We're. featured as
ordinary editors display the news; the
races and the various sporting events
received their just amount Of atten-
ton; an important divorce case was
reported and in general the ministers
didn't spoil the paper much. 1t was
what the ordinary reader calls newsy.
In another case clergyman's COM
m1ttee edited ST. Paul newspaper for
a single day. They made a good news
paper. 1t told the news. Editorially
the preacher editors made this state
ment:
A newspaper ought to be mirror,
ISAGCCll16 Lie Liz VI lOddy, Oul, just
as the reflection of dirty face will
persuade its owner to clean it, so
ought the sins and evils OF the day
be written in the spirit of condemna-
ton and correction. The rule Of the
majority should prevail, that what in
terests the greater number Of people
ought to be given greatest promin-
ence.
The committee said it well. The
newspapers worthy the name supply a
mirror before which the reader sits and
sees the passing throng, its pageants
and its poverty, it's furs and rags and
beauty and ugliness, hopes, fears, phil
anthropy, cruelty, crime and charity.
Each sees the part which most inter-
ests and pleases. The news pages of
the newspaper are as good as the world
and as bad. If an Iowa philanthropist
offers his aid to the deserving, the
headlines grow over the announcement.
If a mob at Charles City hangs
murderer to bridge BEAM the black
letters shout the story. Men want to
know these things. They have the
right to know.
No man need take or read vile
paper. With few exceptions the news
papers of the United States are clean.
The newspapers of Iowa are clean. To
hide from the busy happenings of the
world is to play the hermit and the
fool. AS you sit beside the fire of a
winter evening hold up the mirror to
your eyes and see the procession of
day march past. If there is crime,
study to prevent it. If there is good,
plan to increase it. The proper study
of man kind is men and the newspaper
is reflection Of men and their mo-
tiyes.

TO EUROPE BY AIRSHIp
Bold Prediction Made by German Scientist
Fifty Dollar, per Trip.

a remarkable statement comes from
Rudolph Martin. a German scientist
and imperial councillor. He declares
that before long we'll make the trip to
Europe by airShips. Martin is the lead
ing European writer on aerouautics.
He is one of the chiefs of the Stats
teal department of the German gov
eminent, so that his conclusions con
corning airships are not those of Il
visionary dreamer. but of a hardhead-
ed scientific man of figures. says the
Brooklyn Citizen. His recent book,
Berlin to Bagdad," describing the con
quest of Europe by Germany through
the employment of airships, created a
great sensation in military circles.
Martins statement is as follows:
within ten years transatlantic pas
sages through the air will have be-
come a regular and normal method of
journeying between Europe and Amer
lea. The voyages will be made in four
days at cost of $50 for first class
ticket This is not the dream of an en-.
thusiast, but is a sober statement
based on scientific deductions.
only those interested know what
giant strides have been made in the
past few years in airship construction.
The principle of air navigation has
been solved, and the world is on the
point of seeing the principle put into
practical operation The Wright broth
ers in America, Count Zeppelin in Ger
many and Count de la Vaulx and Lee
baudy in France have all contributed
to solve the initial difficulties.
"The type of airship that will be
employed for travelling between Amer
lea and Europe undoubtedly will be
based on the aluminium vessel of
Count Zeppelin. 1t will have cubic
measurement of 100000 feet, will be
from 600 to 700 feet long and con-
structed as a luxe ship. for first class
travel. and will be able to carry thirty
passengers. 1t will race from Ham
burg to New York within 40 hours.
Such ship will cost about $4,000 to
build and equip and will be a good
paying venture at charge of $50
passenger, with cheaper rates to come
later.
1T is easy to see what a revolution
this will effect in transatlantic travel.
lt Is as impossible to guard airship
construction by patents as it is to pro
tect sailing ships, and any balloon
maker will be able to build an air YES
sci. The cheapness of construction
viii permit many rival companies to
enter the field. and there will be no
possibility of forming a trust.
