THE PEOPLES INTERESTS

We publish in another column q
second letter from citizen and tax
payer Of st. Maries, which appeared
In the Gazette. This letter shows a
very friendly feeling for Occur d.
Alene and gives many reasons why
that warm friendship exists between
the two towns. This city has always
encouraged the development of the
st. Joe country and every move for
the betterment of that section has
had our support, and 1t is gratifying
to our citizens to read such papers as
the one we publish In this issue, be-
cause 1t shows tie of friendship and
reciprocal good will that must result
In q still closer union of the two
places in the battle for progress. 1t
shows that the people of st Maries
are too high minded to play the dog
In the Manager act, and the assump-
tion on the part OF the Rathdrum
committee that they would do so
Ia reflection on their integrity and
sense OF honor.
Occur d'Alene wants the county
seat because 1t will be OF advantage
to us commercially and in many 9th
or ways, AT the same time there are
good reasons for a change wholly
without the pale of Interior motives.
No other town offers the transporta-
ton facilities from the different parts
Of the county. With the completion
OF the Lewis railroad through the
reservation that part of the county is
made directly tributary; the st. Joe
country 10 closely connected with
Occur d'Alene by steam boat
lines and the same may be said to be
true Of the Occur d'Alene river val
ley. Post Falls and that part of the
county along the electric line has d.
rect and frequent car service and
even the Spirit lake country and
Rathdrum Is not inconveniently sit
uated for getting to this place. The
Hayden lake electric line will be ex-
tended to Pend doreille lake and
possibly through Athol to connect
with the Blackwell road which will
complete network OF transportation
facilities radiating from this city,
making 1t the natural and most Access
sible point for the county seat. The
people will be quick to recognize
these facts and are not going to vote
against their own interests.

The Cost of Sea Glory.

In order to keep up the efficiency of
our navy the president recommends the
construction OF four new battleshlps
Germany's programme is to construct
seventeen new battleships during the
next nine years. BY the time Ger
many's new fleet is ready for business
1t win have goodly squadron Of far
greater tonnage than any Uncle Sans
navy now has In commission. 1t is
said that the reason for Germany's
present zeal In the matter of naval
construction is that the age limit Of
warshlps will have to be reduced
Recently two of our big vessels OF
modern make were practically retired
after eighteen years of service. One
Of the new British torpedo boat de-
stroyers has outclassed our destroyers
built only eight years ago One of the
German admirals stated to the parlla-
ment that the country had saved mil
lions by postponing the construction of
submarines. New ideas are constantly
being brought to bear for increasing
the speed or the fighting powers of
war vessels, and ship does not need
to wear out In order to become back
number. The present outlook for the
cost Of maintaining our rank among
the navies of the world is an expendl-
ture in 1908 of about $7O.oOo,oO0. Ger
many wants to invest much more than
that In new Improvements In 1908 and
presumably an equal or perhaps great
er sum annually for the next nine
years.

Commenting upon this bitter indict-

the Van Norden Magazine continues:
This comprehensive accusation places
the blame upon the shipping interests
rather than upon science. Like the rail-
road which refuses to adopt the best

Tho National idea.

More power for the national govern
ment and complete control from Wash
ington of the great commercial and in
dustrial forces of the country was the
pith In a speech by DR.. Eliot of Har-
ward university before the National
Civic federation at Its recent annual
convention In New York. DR.. Eliot
said he represented the consumer"
who felt the full effect of the Industrial
warfare which the Civic federation
was organized TO prevent-in other
words, that public which always pays
the cost of, Industrial warfare. He id
yocated not only government control of
commercial associations, In which he
included labor and capital. but gov
eminent incorporation of corporations.
A central power alone can settle the
yexing questions of the day, and in or
der to do that 1t must have more pow
er and wider scope. To quote further:
We shall look for an increase In the
powers OF the federal government In ali
ulfecJlons II goes against our CneFiSned
fetch of local government, but we des-
perately need revision OF our views OF
local representation. Local interests have
changed utterly in fifty years. We must
give up our fear OF increasing the gov
ernment's power Every question that Is
uppermost today arose half century
after the constitution was made.
The federal government Is trying to get
new powers. How7 BY stretching proc
ess, Some of our experiments have done
pretty we'll considering our limitation,
but We have much further TO SO.
In saying that '1ocal interests have
become continental interests" the
speaker fairly gagged the necessities
Of our time. The tendencies OF the
people seem to be toward a deeper re-
lance upon the federal power. Both
labor and capital. the corporations and
the public look upon 1t as the umpire
and arbiter for disputes and the last
resort when forced to the wall. This
10 the paternal idea, and 1t is not a
new phase OF political thought, but the
rarity Of criticism and jealousy OF its
rapid spread in recent years are mo-
tieeable and suggestive.
