Commenting on these figures

conclusions favorable to the United

ond line of older ships, armed with
q mixed battery of 1925 and smaller
rapid fire pieces, that will win the
day."
Unfortunately the statement does
not give the relative speed OF the
ships of the competing navies. 1t
is quite likely that the speed with
which the warships maneuver will
have as much to do with winning
battles as the number and size OF
the guns and the relative displace-
ments of the first and second lines.

These figures are gained from the
information published by the Navy

ligence, that each year Issues a COM
parative table of the. warship ton

table Is based on the number and
displacement of warships, built and

and of torpedo craft of so tons or
more.

THE COCK FIAsco.

As the situation stands the American
peope and the rest of the world seem
to have been the victims of one of the
greatest impostures ever attempted.
Giving DR.. Cook the benefit of every
doubt the case against him looks black
enough TO convince most men that he
never was at or near the pole and tina.
he perpetrated a hoax that shall give
his name historical permanence of
most unenviabe character. Cook 5
claims have now few supporters. Cook
has vanished out OF sight and hearing;
Copenhagen which had been warmly
favorable 10 his claim has denied and
repudiated him. He has been a nine
days' wonder and the talk of the world
apparently by reason Of a bold and un-
successful attempt to rob merit of the
reward OF years of Intelligent, unceas-
ing and heroic toll.
A great majority of Americans ac-
eepted Cook. He sprung his claim in
advance Of that OF the real discoverer
of the pole; he got first to the news
papers and publicity. His picture
spread over the front pages. He was
an American TOO, ana me American

FOR NARROWER ROADS.

The proposal for the narrowing Of
public highways in Iowa recurs and
probably will not down until it re-
ceives careful consideration at the
hands of the people and the legislature
These roads are, for the most part,
sixty-six feet wide. This width of road
was adopted at time when land was
the most bountiful and nearly the
cheapest thing that Iowa had There
are 100000 miles of roads in the state,
with 100000 acres given UP to this
purpose, or more than one acre in every
fifty. Land has become immensely
more valuable than it was when the
siSty-siN foot standard was adopted for
roads. and it comes as logical event
in economic evolution that there
should be agitation for the reclamation
of part of this acreage for purposes
of cultivation.
Let US say that the roads were cut
to width of thirty three feet That
would give back to the farmer 400
GOO acres of land, which. valued al an
average of 500 an acre. which is
really very low for Iowa land, would
make s4000o,000. 1t has been figured
that the income of the land, at a
present estimate would be sl2 a year
per acre. or about 100000. which is
enough TO support the entire state gov
eminent and most of the county gov
ernments
The narrower road VIII come. The
day will arrive when we win not laugh
at a legislative measure designed 70
accomplish this as we did a few years
ago at such a measure introduced by
William Larra7ee. There is no
portion of land devoted 10 50 valuable
a purpose as the highways insofar as
that land is used for that purpose, but
it is evident to anybody who has been
thru the rural districts al all thar there
has been great waste in the width of
our highways and the waste is no.,
alone in the land outside OF the fence,
but also in the weeds which produce
seeds TO be blown inside the fences.
The highway is an important factor in
our system. II is the great civilizer.
but the Iowa road also needs TO be civ
ilized, and ii might be good way 20
begin TO reduce is width and thus
bring within the Imagination time
when the rest of it would be passable
A narrow hard road is to be preferred
to bad road. Maybe. if the roads
We're narrowed, it would look like less
Formidable task 10 keep them in some
sort of shape and develop them to a
condition of permanent usefulness and
reliability.
