Depot Is Ordered.

East Des Moines citizens won in
the fight for a new East Side depot
when the state board of railroad COM
missioners ordered the Wabash, the
c., B. & Q. and the Chicago Great
Western railroads to furnish adequate
accommodations on the East Side.
The order requires that the new sta
ton be adequate in every respect. 1t
must be comfortably heated and light
ed and large enough to accommodate
travellers. Moreover, the order pro-
vides, it must be clean and comfort
able and safe for women. At later
hearing the contention of the Rock
Islands counsel that the state COM
mission is not vested with power to
order a road to build station will
be heard. If the board decides against
the railroad. the Rock Island may
elect to combine with the landlord"
corporation of these roads in build
ing the union station that East Des
Moines seeks.

State Should Own Horses.

The coming report of Major Bough-
ton, of the National War college at
TT. Leavenworth, Kans., who was the
government expert representative at
the Iowa encampments this year, is
being awaited with much interest in
militia circles. He will report that
the state should own q troop of
horses sufficient in number to equip
an entire corps of regimental Infantry
officers. The horses could be passed
from one regiment to another, thereby
saving the expense of hiring horses
at high prices during encampment.
The recommendation is also made
that the horses be kept at the Iowa
State college during other times of
the year where they can be used by
the students there in their military
work.
The next state Legislature may take
up the matter and an appropriation
may be asked for by the committee
On militia affairs.

bring money here, customers to our

and it will bring teachers and stu

the uplifting Of all the town; will en-
nance its moral and intellectual
tone. And all this will be perma-

TAFT AND BRYAN.

The situation in the national field
OF politics seems to grow more uncer-
tain and more complicated as the
time Tor the nomination approaches.
Both Secretary Taft, the probable
nominee OF the Republicans. and Mr..
Bryan, the probable nominee OF the
Democrats. have troubles a plenty
on their hands. 1t is TAFT against
the field in the Republican camp and
Bryan against the field In the Demo
cratic camp. The Republicans are
afraid to entrust their standard In
the hands OF Mr.. Taft ageinst any
other Democrat than Mr.. Bryan:
while those who know any thing OF
election probabilities, have no idea
that Mr.. Bryan can win against any
Republican, hence the uncertainty OF
the situation and the probability OF
the defeat OF both OF the leading can
didates for the nomination.
Ii the Republicans werecertain that
Bryan would be the nominee OF the
Denver convention, Taft would win
the nomination Of his party In a
walk; and, therefore, we have the
anomalous condition OF Mr.. Taft r
success dependent upon the action of
the Democratic convention.
There can be little doubt about this
being the real situation, and while it
points out clearly that Bryan is the
weakest possible nominee the Demo-
Gratis can select, there are many
prominent and influential Democrats
In the country who, in spite OF these
apparents facts, can see nothing but
Bryan.
