SITUATION SERIOUS
Lack of Suitable Houses That Arc
Modern Threatens to Drive People
from the city-Demand Never So
Great in Years, and Supply is Ex-
hausted.

hausted.
The lack of suitable modern houses
in Marshalltown gives promise of driv-
ing people to seek homes in other cit
les unless something can be done to
put up more good houses for renting
purposes.
M. S. Cochrane, we'll known trav-
cling man, who has been living at 210
West Lincoln street, went to Cedar
Rapids Sunday night, to see If he can
find a house there.
Mr.. Cochranes present ihome, at
210 West Lincoln street, is to be taken
by its owners, who are to move into
the city from the country on April i.
He has been served with notice to
vacate He advertised for house, but
could not get one. He tried real es-
tate men, and found invariably that
from five to six people were ahead
of him on every hand. The demand
is greater than the supply.
With no modern house in prospect,
dItGr a thorough search, MI. SOCIIdue
has finally decided to move away. He
does not want to. He likes MARSHALL
town. His children are in school
here, and he and his wife have made
friends and do not care to go into a
new town. With no desirable place
available, however, he feels that he
can not afford to take house for the
time being that does not suit him, and
trust to getting something desirable
later, for he fears that the present
situation will continue. He can serve
his territory possibly as we'll from
Cedar Rapids as Marshalltown, and
for that reason is investigating resi-
dence prospects there.
While good houses to rent have been
reputed as scarce for some time, it
is doubtful If many people appreciate
the real situation that confronts the
house seeker. The demand has not
been so great in years. With dimen-
sion lumber retailing to the builder
at a rate 30 per cent under what it
was year ago, there should be a so
luton to the problem: A well known
lunberman makes the statement that
dimension stuff that sold year ago
at 500, can now be bought for SIS.
The demand for houses is here. The
lack Of a supply is apparent. Who
will build the houses?

Not to Be for Few Weeks.
The second trial of w. F. Jordan
who was found guilty of immoral con-
duct in Methodist church trial, will
not be held for several weeks. A date
has not yet been fixed, but it will not
be until after the evangelistic serv
ices now in progress at the Methodist
church are over. Jordan and his at
torney, Rev. o. D. Elicit, have been
anxious to have the trial, which will
be heard by a jury of laymen from
the district, take place at once. Presid-
ing Elder w. r. Pitner has denied this
request, and insists that he will not
allow anything of the nature of this
church trial to arise and detract inter-
est from the meetings He has notified
both Elicit and Jordan that they must
guarantee the expenses Of the trial.
According to the laws of the church
governing such matters, no new evil
dence can be admitted at hearing on
the appeal.

The Sunday night audience at the
Odeon theater, which witnessed tho
presentation of "Adrift in New York
enjoyed the discontinue of the players
who attempted a presentation without
sufficient rehearsals. Two new men,
bers of the cast, who went on with
but very little rehearsing, added to the
waits and bitches which marked the
performance. The prompting, which
was frequent. was in such loud voice
that it reached the audience, and
caused not little amusement. The COM
pany has been playing "a Swedish
Girl in Dixie" but this was dropped
for the New York melodrama. The
company continued its rehearsals at

of these was one demanding revision

A constitutional amendment, declar-

They Want to Know.
Politicians have been somewhat in
terested in requests made by Chairman
Warren Howard of the two republican
candidates for senator, as to how they
stood on the question of the submits
sion of the prohibitory amendment. The
question has arisen in the minds of the
politicians as to whether or not the
prohibitionists were intending to enter
the republican primaries.
Mr.. c. III. Van Law replied to the
chairman by letter. to the effect that
Iowa had statutory prohibition at the
present time, and that the strengthen
ing and full enforcement of the present
law was adequate. So far as he could
learn there was not a general demand
for a submission of the amendment on
the part of the voters of the state.
Mr.. o. l.. 1ngledue replied in prac-
tically the same terms. favoring the
present law and it's strict enforcement.

ONE OF THE ISSUES
 OF SENATOR KNOX
His Outline of a National Waterway Improvement Policy.

Washington, March 2.-(Special Cor respondence of The Republican, )-That the country is demanding d broad and comprehensive plan of waterway i'm
 provements and that il is determined that congress shall authorize the ex-
 penditure Of sufficient funds for this
 work has become apparent since Sen ator Knox, of Pennsylvania, outlined his attitude regarding such improve ments. Senator Knox is the first pres
 idential candidate to declare for ma
 tional waterway improvement policy.
 Since his views were given to the country he has received emphatic as surance that his ideas have the in dOrsement of the people. Telegrams and letters have come to him from ev- cry section of the country. They are from business organizations and other bodies who demand the development of
 our waterway transportation facilities. These comInunica tions clearly indicate
 that the country is alive to the i'm pOrtance of that work and that water way improvements will be an issue in national politics. Last December the National Rivers and Harbors Congress at a meeting in Washington sounded d warning that senators and representa- tives would do well to heed. Resolu
 tions were adopted declaring for an
 nual appropriations by congress of at least fifty million dollars for river and
 harbOr work The meeting brought to Washington delegates from every state in the union and it was the largest and most enthusiastic gathering ever held by the advocates of waterway i'm
 provements. For several years river and harbOr bill has been enacted by
 each congress but the amount was in significant compared to the demand.
 Senator Knox insists that the govern
 ment cannot expend its funds moro profirably than by providing the peO- pie with adequate water transportation
 facilities. He would have the govern ment continue the work it is now doing : in the improvement of the larger streams and aT the same time start work on the smaller rivers, whose i'm
 pruveme1t is certain to develop d sub stantial commerce. He does not limit
 the appropriations to fifty millions a year If the work can be done with
 such appropriations well and good: If not then let congress authorize the expenditure of all the money required.
 MT. Knox is as familiar with the con- ditions regarding the country's rivers and harbors as any other man. He has

ADVERTISING THE VALLEY

In spite of all the advertising of the Salt River Valley that has been done. there are comparatively very few peo- pie of the most desirable class of pos sible settlers in distant states who have any intelligent idea of tho possi- bilities waiting here for them. Most of the information sent out has found its way only to cities and large towns where it could result in little or no good. We are not at present so much in need of more townspeople as we are in need of settlers to engage in the tilling of the soil, in the subdi, ision of the rich acreage of the valley which has never been made to produce at more than a tithe of its capacity. Farmers seldom come from cities and towns.
 The Santa Fe railroad company. by means of its publication "The Earth" devoted to the exploitation of tine great southwest, is engaged in a campaign by wh ch the farmers of the eastern, northern ana southern states may be directly reached and made acquainted with the possibilities or. rather, We should say, with the absolute certain ties Of this part of the country. The only trouble with that campaign, so far as any of the communities designed to be served by it are concerned is that nec- essarily limited space can be devoted to any one of them.
 How the advertising energies of the Salt River valley may be directed in channels where they will produce the greatest results, and lead directly to farmers in the east who are contem- plating a change for the better is a problem for our board of trade and i'm migration authorities.

DIR. WILEY AND THE WHISKY
 THEME.

Chief Chemist Dr. Wiley has had 50 much to say on large variety of topics and much of it has been so fool ish. that people were easily prepared to believe that he had actually advo- cated the use of alcoholic liquors in a late address before the University club at Washington; that he had issued a pronunciamentO that the youth who was a teetotaler was a mollycoddle. It would have taken nothing less than the doctors recent vigorous denial to remove the impression that he had ac- Jually given voice to that remarkable declaration. Some may even yet be- lieve that under the genial influences of the club meeting the head chemist may have expressed views on liquor drinking which he would naturally not entertain on the morning after Many a man who is convivial spirit al banquet, in the gray light and brown taste Of the following cheerless dawn is a rabid abstainer whose gorge rises at the very thought of the thief which men put into their mouths to steal away their brains.
 What the normal ideas of Dr. Wiley with respect to temperance may be We have never been informed but We do know that there Is no other article of food or drink 10 which the chief of the bureau of chemistry has devoted so much attention and on whose absolute purity he has so strenuously insisted.
 A few years ago Dr. Wiley had the distillers and bottlers of the country spending large sums of money in pre- senting to the liquor users Of the coun- try as well as to congress and the pub. lie generally their views regarding the manufacture and care of whisky as opposed to the views of the head chemist An ardent prohibitionist in the place of Dr. Wiley would not have bothered himselG with a recognition of the liquor traffic. If he mad taken thought of it all. in his official ca pacity of course, he would have sug- gested some regulation to make it even more poisonous and impure than it already was and so increase the peril of those who consumed it.
 By the way. we have never. been informed how the. conversation at the University club got switched off to the subject of whisky That club affair was not a temperance meeting.

made thorough investigation Of these conditions. He declares that the most practical plan for the development Of our commerce is presented by the ad- vocates of the proposed internal inn provements He also insists that this work should not be delayed until the completion of the Panama Canal. as has been proposed by many members of congress.
 Senator Knoxs advocacy of river improvements has strengthened his presidential candidacy in every state. He is recognized as the most influen- tial friend the supporters of rivers i'm provements have in the senate and has advocacy of a national river improve ment policy is advocated as potent reason why he should be in the White House. There is no doubt that if elect ed president he would exert the influ- ence of his administration toward the adoption of this policy by congress.
 The Pennsylvania senator's friends now are more confident than ever be- fore that he will be the choice of the Chicago convention. They believe his public service both as attorney general in the cabinet of President Roosevelt and in the senate commend him to the people as a statesman who is splendid ly equipped for the presidency. His supporters. declare that in him the re- publicans will have a candidate who would receive the united support Of the party as his candidacy is involved in no factional differences. They con- fidently predict that the delegates at Chicago will decide that Senator Knox is the logical successor of President Roosevelt.
