OF DOUBTFUL WISDOM.

The national irrigation congress. now
IN session at Spokane, may, it is re.
ported, request the national govern.
ment to create a fund from which
loans can be made to persons who de.
sire to locate on government irrigated
lands and who are too poor to make
the first payment and support them
selves from the products of their farms
George E. Barstow, president of the
congress, makes the suggestion. He
puts it thus: Does the duty of the
state lie in the care of her INDECENT and
needy? Does her duty lie in the en-
lightenment of her ignorant? Is her
duty found in the proper protection of
her people by creating such laws as
protect her citizens in the pursuit of
life, liberty and happiness? Then. ]
inquire, does not the states duty lie
along the lines of making such whole
some provision for that part of her
true tho money-poor people as to OBJ
tain homes on the land, thereby
creating a truer and nobler citizenship.
and whereby we shall require less
almshouses and jails and prisons"
Mr.. Barstow argues we'll. But the
case is not exactly as might be in
ferred. 1t is all true enough, but is it
we'll to ride a free horse to death? AL
ready the government is throwing its
resources into the irrigation business
to make these lands at all available.
1t is we'll that it does So Ii is we'll
also not to forget the fact when we
come to suggest that still more be
done. The government carries the big
load. The settler is permitted to buy
the land on time, save for the first in
stallment on the purchase price. Now
II Is proposed TO waive that INSTALL
ment. Of course, that would be only
carrying the present policy a little
further and maybe it could be argued
that that would be logical. But what
about the settlers personal interest
and responsibility? Is he not more
likely to make good if he has some
thing at stake. something to lose as
Well as something to gain? We are in
clined to think that the scheme IS a
pretty good one just as it stands. The
wholesome provision" whGh Mr.. Bar
stow pleads for now is being made
With the opening to settlement and
cultivation of the broad acres which
the government is retaining by
irrigation. the seed is being sown for
truer and nobler citizenship and the
need for almshouses, Jail and prison.
is being reduced. No policy entered up
on by the government in long time is
freer from evils than this reclamation
plan. Suggestions such as that made
by Mr. Barstow should be received
with greatest caution An institution
now splendid in conception, execution
and fruit might easily be converted in
TO a thing of error and evil. No doubt
there are worthy people who might
settle on these lands, but who cannot
do 50 for want OF funds, but there are
others not 50 worthy. and the line must
be drawn somewhere. The settler must
be a partner in the business, at least.

THE NEW PENNIES.


There is some possibility that the
their appearance last week will be
recalled by the government because
the designer of the coin, felt proud
of the job and gratuitously stuck his
initials under the diverse rim. The
designer is Victor David Bremen,
and he employed all three Of his in
itials when he decided to place his
private stamp on the coins. The let
tiers are so small, however. that they
can be found only by diligent search
1t is really not singular that Mr.
Brenner should be anxious to he rec
ognized as the man who executed
the new penny; for it is doubtful if
there is more attractive coin cur
rent. The head of Abraham Lincoln
which suppiants the relief of the old
Indian, is superbly executed. The
design on both faces of the coin is
simple, artistic, and, unless one
would question the presence Of Mr..
Brenner's initials. in good taste.
But the fact is, Mr. Bremen is by
no means the first engraver to place
his initials on coins. In England, Italy
and France designers have even been
permitted to use their full names. Pts
trucci, the Italian, and Albert Barre.
a famous French engraver, have had
their full names stamped in several
of the coins they originated. And, in
deed, Bremen did nothing unprece-
denied in this country by using his
initials on the penny.
All of. the half dollars quarters.
aa1 dimes issued from the Philadelphia
mint carry the diminutive letter B un-
initial of the chief engraver, Charles
E. Barber On the old silver dollar,
which was circulated previous to the
year 1904, the letter NJ was to be
found in two places-one under the
bust of Liberty and the other beneath
the wreath on the reverse side of the
soin. The designer of this piece was
George E. Morgan. The current Ave
dollar gold piece bears the letters OF
B. L. j. under the bust OF Liberty,
which are the initials of the engrav-
err Bella L. Bratt.
The new penny is not the only Am
erican coin of that denomination bear
ing the artists initials. Some Of the
early issues of the Indian head one
cent piece bore the Initial of its de-
signer Mr.. Longaere. A more recent
instance of the artists initials being
used is that of the new twenty and
ten dollar gold pieces which were de-
signed by Saint Gaudens.
AS matter of fact there are very
few American coins which, some time
or another. have not borne the name
or initials of the designer Coin coll
lectors prefer to have the initial used,
inasmuch as it helps them identify
..he authorship of the pieces.
Whether Mr. Bremen is permitted to
have his initials retained or not, he
certainly has not transgressed GUS
tom by attempting to secure credit
for his work. The small initial does not
disfgure coin, and there is, appar-
emily, no reason why it should not be
permitted to stay.

IOWA TEACHES THE NATION.


1t required twenty years to change
the organization of the republican party
in Iowa. to drive out of places of power
the tools of the railroads, and it may
take more than twenty years to accom-
pish relatively as large a measure of
success in the United States But that
there 10 determination to accomplish it
in the minds of eleven senators and
possibly twenty-eight representatives,
indicates that a start has been made
already and that on the people alone
will depend whether the campaign
shall be successful one.
The fight in Iowa has not cost the
republicans control Of the state; nor
has the party lost control of any of
the other states in which like struggle
has been made so that is can not just
ly be argued that those who make the
fight are threatening the supremacy Of
the republican party. Rather ure
they giving added security to the
party, as the history of the insurgent
attests.

BEWARE OF PROSPERITY.

The crops OF the United States for
this year are now reported by the gov
eminent stasisticians as the largest in
all history, and President Corey, of the
billion dollar steel trust, says that the
output of steel for next year VIII be
largest in the history OF the steel in
dustry. He is taking careful measure
ment OF the crops and knows what the
effect will be.
Incidentally all business men should
take account of the future as affected
by present conditions. Next year is
bound to be a year of expansion in all
lines Of trade. Retail business is going
to be good. Wholesalers must prepare
for an unusual volume of recorders.
Manufacturers must anticipate the de-
mands of the jobbers and raise the
roofs of their factories or push out the
sides.
But With all there should be caution
exercised. For instance wages and ma
terial are all very high The cos. of
production can not come down and will
probably go up Therefore it will be
well to beware of long time contracts
unless protected in price in case of
rising costs. It has been known be-
fore that the years of expanding trade
have been the years of least profits he
cause of costs overtaking selling mar
gins and it is time that the experiences
OF the past paid US something for what
1t cost Things are going to boom
next year but so are all the things We
buy. Get ready for the business out

At Des MONIES Commissioner
Schraalm proposes to substitute i'm

lower rate of interest than per
cent. In Dubuque the bonds are is
sued and sold upon the completion of
the Improvement and the proceeds of
the sale are turned over to the con-
tractor. the city redeeming the bonds
from the proceeds of the special
assessment. AT least this is the
method contemplated by law, tho
in some instances the bonds have
been sold in advance of the COM
pletion of the work and the contractor
has been paid during its progress and
in advance of its formal acceptance
At Des Mones the city turns over the
Improvement certificates to the con-
tractor who puts them up with the
banker If the abutters escape the as
sessment because the work has been
improperly done, or for any other
reason, the loss falls on the banker
Thus it behooves him to see that the
contractor carries out the specifica-
tions. This advantage is we'll worth
the additional interest charge, which
is cheap insurance for the abutter and
the city. At Dubuque when the coun-
Gil fails to insist on performance of the
contract according to specifications and
the abutters in consequence escape the
assessment the loss falls on the city
