OUR MERCHANT MARINE

The caption of this article is wrong
and misleading. We sometimes speak
of our merchant marine but we have SO
little that it is hardly worth mention
ing. All our people who travel abroad
come home very much ashamed of the
fact that the United States flag is very
rarely seen upon the high seas and that
practically our country is not doing any
of the worlds business on the water
All other countries that have mer-
chant marine have invested more or less
money to secure it and this country will
not have any until it does a similar
thing. On the question of granting q
subsidy the President spoke as follows
in one of his speeches:
need not tell you of the inadequacy
of the American shipping marine on the
Pacific coast and of the growing com
mercial progress in this regard of the
empire of Japan. Japan is one OF the
most active and generous countries in
the matter of subsidies TO it's merchant
marine, and the effect is only too visible
in an examination of statistics.
For this reason it seems there is no
subject to which congress can better
devote its attention during the coming
session than the bill which regulates our
merchant marine in such a way as TO es-
tablish American lines between New
York and othern eastern ports and South
American ports and between our Pacific
coast ports, the orient and Philippines.
We earn profit from foreign mails
from So, 000, 900 to SO, 000, 000a year. The
appropriation of that amount would he
quite sufficient to put on satisfactory
! basis two or three oriental lines and sew
eral lines from the east to South Ameri-
ca. OF course we are familiar with
the argument that this would be con,
tribution to private companies out OF the
treasury of the United States, but we are
/ thus contributing in various ways OF
similar principles in effect, both by oul
protective tariff laws, by our river ant
/ harbor bills and by reclamation service
! We are putting money into the pockets
of ship owners but we are giving then
money with which they can compete
for reasonable profit only, with the mer
chant marine of the world.

Back To "God,s Country"

Editor Brown of The Harlan Republican
returned last week from trip of three
months that he and Mrs. Brown spent
along the Pacific coast. Mr.. Brown is
a good writer and while he was gone
contributed a number of fine descriptive
letters to his paper. After reaching his
home he wrote as follows:
The senior publisher of The Republi-
can and wife got home from their three
months western trip on Saturday of last
week. AS they ran down the slope from
Denver to Omaha, and the desert gave
place to long stretches of cultivated fields
and as thousands of tenderfeet before
them, they felt that they were return
ing to what we of The Middle West
lovingly term Gods Country" Iowa
papers are quite generally engaged in
the very pleasant and proper occupation
of praising the glorious October weather
of the state. Brethren permit us to say
, word. We are home from three months
spent upon the Pacific coast and, so help
us, every day there was just as pleasant
as are these glorious October days in
Iowa, which the same can not be said OF
the past three months in this state. Iowa
has many delightful things, among
which is little pleasant weather but
there is not enough of it to brag about.
Let us bestow our praise upon the good
things we have in abundance.

THE DANISH LUTHERAN
COLLEGE
A PROGRESSIVE INSTITUTION AT
ELK HORN, IOWA
Was Established November 1, 1873,
With Three Professors and Fiji
teen Students Present

From u lengthy article published in
the Kimballton Messenger detailing the
ups and downs of the college at Elk
Horn we reprint the following as of
special interest
In the southeast part of Shelby coun-
ty ON one of the most beautiful prairie
ridges imaginable, in the center of u
beautiful landscape is small inland
college, One of the first things that the
highminded Danish pioneers of this
section of Iowa did was to establish this
institution known us the Elk Horn High
School and College. For over n quarter
of century, working silently and con
scientiously and for long time the only
Danish Lutheran college in America,
this college has done II most effective
work for the young people of Scandina-
Wan parentage. In the years that have
passed there have gone forth from its
humble halls u body of 1000 or 5000
students drawn from practically every
state in the union and today are looking
back from places of prominence and re
sponsibility with feeling of veneration
for the pioneer college of the prairie.
There are but few of the states of the
republic that have not successful minis
ters, lawyers. professors, farmers and
business men who received from Elk
Horn College II measure of inspiration
and training.
Nov /, 1887, the college buildings were
destroyed by fire but so great was the
loyalty TO the college on the part of its
friends, that it was rebuilt the same
year. Today there are four buildings in
Guiding the main building, three stories
in height, devoted to lecture hall, class
rooms, library, etc. The other buildings
are the young ladies dormitory and din
ing hall, a residence for one of the pro-
fessors and substantial gymnasium 20
feet long by 36 feet wide. Like most
small colleges Elk Horn has had
some vicissitudes of fortune. 1t has
never had any permanent endowment
Its chief support has come from the
faithful Danish Lutheran farmers living
in the country surrounding Elk Horn
and in the nature of the case this has
been in some respects inadequate.
The present board of directors of the
college is composed of the following:
Rev. TIL. Jersil, presidents Villads Rat
tenborg vice-president Jens Rasmussen
secretary; Chr Hanson, treasurer; John
Lester, Hans Person and Hans Doe,
and the school has rs its president Rev.
Lauersen, n man of superior intellectual
attachments and thoroughly successful
executive ability. .#.
The college is in prosperous condi-
ton and it is in high favor with the
Danish Lutherans of the United States
Shelby county is proud of it because it
has done and is doing so much to make
good public and parochial schoolteachers
and because its ideals of American citi-
zenship and of life in general are high.

upon, but out beyond the circle of young
people who attend it,

MR.. DALEY IN GUTHRIE
Soliciting Subscription For the Inter
Urban Des MOines to Omaha

The Harlan American has the follow
ing;
Mr.. Daley, who had been successfully
soliciting stock for the proposed Inter
urban in Audubon county, is now in
Guthrie county doing the same He re-
ported that Audubon counsy had prac-
tically raised its share and there would
be little difficulty in raising it in the
counties east of there. Shelby county

necessary, but the city of Harlan has
not been thoroughly canyassed. There
is capital enough seeking profitable in
vestment in Harlan to build the road in
the county If the men controlling it can
become convinced that IL is u profitable
investment. The Inter-urban has long
since passed the experimenting stage
and proven TO be one of the best money
makers that can be found, Capital is
always timid, but when once shown IL
ready TO develope paying proposition,
The press dispatches recently announced
that the Fort Dodge, Des Moines and
Southern Interurban had declared n
dividend and sinking fund equal to fifty
per cent on the investment This is one
of the many instances that might be
cited TO show that there is money in
other things besides real estate There
is no need therefore to appeal TO the
philanthropist for aid, all that is neces.
sary is to educate the men who have the
money

THE NEXT GOVERNOR

Some newspapers are using much good
space and spending valuable time print
ing editorials about the candidate for
governor next year. We want to assure
them that no matter what they may
want or what they may say Hon, b. r.
Carroll will get another nomination and
an election without any serious opp
sition, In 1908 a vigorous campaign was
made against him for the nomination
by strong man but Mr.. Carroll was
nominated by good strong majority
over his opponent. Next year he will
have increased strength before the peo-
pie and the advantage of second term
in his favor. Editor Funk of Spirit
Lake who was one of the leaders among
the Progressives writes in part rs fol
lows concerning the Carroll succession;
Governor Carroll will submit his
claims for reelection to all republicans
at the primaries What has he done or
failed to do that will appeal to popular
prejudice? Upon what issues will the
people he asked to express lack of con
fieence in Governor Carroll? Concerted
action of offended or Indifferent leader
ship under the old convention system
might have done business in furnishing
this governor, but under the primaries
the people must be shown. The honesty
of Carroll is not questioned. His motives
cannot be successfully impugned, His
devotion to duty generally understood,
His unremitting attention to the duties
of his Office is conspicuous in evidence.
Against such record will it be practi-
cable to successfully appeal to the
people to change governors against all
precedent because Carroll is peculiar in
getting at things? Within the months
to ensne before the opening of the prima-
ry campaign issues may be provided to
make effective popular appeal in oppo-
sition to the governor, but rs the record
stands at the hour of going topress men
who are disposed to set him down as a
one-termer ought to take serious counsel
of their judgment after careful con
sideration of the whole situation.

A Farewell Service

Sunday evening the Baptist and Con
gregational churches united with the
Methodist people in saying farewell to
Rev. J. p. Morley, who had been trans
ferred to the Audubon parish after two
years of work here. After the sermon
was preached by Rev. Morley Rev Mr..
Keagy read the message of goodbye
from Rev. Mccormick, and spoke in re-
gard to the non-appreciation of the cler-
gyman S labors by the laity. Rev. Por-
terrified spoke very pleasantly on the life
between the churches as he had found it
in Harlan, and especially of Rev. Nor
ley's part of it. The retiring pastor then
spoke briefly in farewell, taking the
sunny side of the street by saying that
he expected to multiply friends instead
of losing them by the change. Rev.
Morley has been very acceptable pas
tor i'm the church and we recommend
him to his new field ut Audubon. The

An Expensive Farm

The Fontanelle Observer says that
John Knorr sold his farm just north
west of town Friday TO j. H. Hubert

Knorr bought 600 acres Of the place Of

Good Chance For Homes

The price of lands in this county has
gone pretty nearly out Of sight and the
farmer with limited means cannot get
a home without loading himself with a
heavy burden of debt Consequently
many are looking for some place where

bic price. Now we found just such u
place while away on recent trip where
the country is better improved and the

have looked the ground over and know
what we are talking about. If any one
who is looking for good home will call

FOOTBALL CAUSES DEATH

years, captain and fullback of the Guth-

is the first fatality of the football season
in Iowa, is n most pathetic one. Young
Evans was one of the best known boys
in Panora, He was junior in the high
school and a leader in all the activities
of the school. On the day of the accident
in the game between Yale and the coun-

tackle on one of the Yale runners; he
fell and the Yale man struck him in the

HOW TO GET MORE POWER
THE MIDDLE WEST MAY LARGE
LY INCREASE INFLUENCE
By Sending Good Workers Instead
OF Great Shoutcrs To Repre-
sent Them In Congress

There was II time when Iowa and the
fother states Of the middle west had
large influence in governmental affairs
at Washington City, But most of it
has gone q glimmering In discussing
the matter the Inter Ocean says;
The outrageous monopoly which the
eifete East has established in President
Taft's golf has not escaped the ever
watchful eyes of the Iowa press
The result is q suggestion, perhaps it
might better be called demand. that
the President establish Western sum
mer capital and spend part of his va
cation this side Of Buffalo, thus with
drawing himself at least temporarily
from the baneful influences that ON the
Atlantic coast war continually upon the
good. the beautiful and the true.
Back of this invitation or demand,
we seem TO scent the familiar idea that
the East has too much influence with the
President and the government, and that
no measure should be neglected which
might change the situation.
This moves us to say that If such is
really the underlying motive there is II
much better way 10 accomplish the end
desired. II is so simple that nothing
except the fact that it does not seem to
have occurred 60 Iowa, Minnesota and
Wisconsin could induce us To present it,
If these commonwealth will Just try
the eXpedient of sending to the Senate
of the United States workers instead of
shouters, Senators instead Of Chautauqua
screamers, Industrious men of affairs
instead of mere sensational speechmak-
ers, they will be surprised how soon their
complaint will vanish,
The men who have the real influence
mt Washington are not necessarily the
men who are loudest on public platforms
or oftenest in the columns of the daily
newspapers. II is there as il is in all
places where things are to be done; the
workers, and not the spouters, are the
men who do them and have got TO do
them.
Just as long rs Iowa, Wisconsin and
Minnesota adhere TO their expressed pre-
ference for representatives who are too
large-minded to do the hard. monoto-
nous and eXacting work Of legislative
routine, just SO long shall we hear com
plants rs To the apparent lack of Iowa,
Minnesota end Wisconsin influence.
We can see no substitute for The Inter
Oceans simple yet eminently practical
remedy The West has had its due
share of influence with Presidents How
could IL be otherwise when every Re
publican President since the war, with
one exception, has come from the Middle
West? The trouble plainly does not lie
in that direction.
The fault is neither in the stars, nor
the President, nor his summer or winter
surroundings, nor in any other part of
the country, 1t is right ut home.
For instance, did Wisconsin complain
when they had n Spooner2 Or Minnesota
when they had u Cushman X. Davisy Or
Iowa when they had an Allison?

many questions to ask them about the
number of acres they are farming, how
much of oats, wheat, corn and other
