Between tho Devil and tho Sea.


There seems to be an impression that
1t is necessary to whitewash mr.. Bal
linger in order to save the face OF the
Taft administration. II the whitewash
ing is DONE it will also be for the pur-
pose of saving the faces Of those who
influenced the appointment of Balling-
err as member of Mr.. Taft's cabinet.
In this matter Mr.. Taft is between the
devil and the deep blue sea, and while
there is little choice, it would seem
better for Mr.. Taft to cut loose from
Ballinger and his devious ways and
take to the sea, rather than go to the
devil; for in the sea he may have a
chance to swim to a friendly shore or
be picked up and saved by some pass
ing craft Of circumstance.
If the investigating committee de-
cides against Ba1linger, it will mean
that it believes that CLAWS charges
we're properly made; that the Cunning
ham claims to coal lands in ALASKA
were fraudulent and ought not to be
granted; that Claws and his associates,
who exposed the fraud, and Pinchot.
who mixed into the fight. were dismiss
ed from the public service for fearless
ly performing their duty to the people;
that the president was wrong in al
lowing a man accused Of an offense to
prepare the opinion dismissing the
charges against himself and Furnishing
the men who made the charges. and
that Mr. Taft was guilty of deceit and
bad faith in allowing the Wickersham
memorandum to be antedated and In
not including the draft Of the Iawler
document with the other papers bear
ing on the case, submitted to the COM
mittee at it's request.
If. on the other hand, the committee
applies the Whitewash brush as 1t -
expected to do, 1T will mean that the
president acted properly IN allowing
Ballinger to have his acquittal prepar-
ed in his own office; that he was right
in holding out the Lawler paper when
he sent in the others; that the Wicker
sham antedating performance was all
right that Pincl1ot, CLAWS and the
others who protested against the vail
dating of the Cunningham claims were
in the wrong-that they were meddlefs
in something which did not concern
them, that they were properly hred;
and that the Cunningham claims. in
volving a mountain Of coal worth a BIZ
lion of dollars, were all In order and
that the coal ought to be turned over
to the claimants for the Guggenheim-
Morgan crowd. This application OF the
whitewash brush means, most OF all.
indignant public condemnation.
SO, as matters stand, it Is case
Of you'll be damned If you do and
you'll be damned if you don't" as far
as the president is concerned. Logi-
cally, the whitewashing OF Ba1linger
means that the Cunningham claims.
which the people believe to be a 81
gantic steal, are proper and legal ana
that the claimants ought to get tho
coal lands.
Now let us see whether the govern
ment will dare to turn Them over.

dureS.

In the Twentieth Century Magazine
for June MIR. E. 0. Flower appears with
an article on the Owen health bill now
before congress. Mr.. Flower writes:
"Only those who have been familiar
with the uninterrupted, adroit and per-
sistent struggle on the part of organic
ed medical societies for the past half
century to secure a monopoly in medi-
rich the favored ones, would appreciate
the danger lurking in even Senator
Owens bill, unless he carefully scruit-
inized sections and 8 of this meas

All which is tommyrot. There may
be excellent reasons why we should not
have a department Of health presided
over by member of the cabinet, but
that such a measure would enormous
ly enrich" the favored ones, or anybody
else, is not one Of them. Bigotry may
have something TO do with 1t, but it is
ridiculous to talk about greed or aver
ice. Even If a certain school Of medi-
cine could gain an advantage, or mono
poly, that would not mean monopoly
fer individuals whereby they might
enormously enrich" themselves. It

THOSE WHO CAN NEVER DIE.

! The years may lengthen and men de-
cay but the results attained by en-
deavor to establish and defend human
| rights never die. SO may men become
immortal in the influence they have
exerted on their time.
| All of history which actually en-
dures has been made by those whose
endeavor was for the common good. II
men are to be remembered they must
seal their claim to remembrance by
sacrifice. The selfish die and are for
gotten. The cruel perish and are not.
In all the annals of time there is not
one honored name which is not bound
to the future in tie of common hui
manity. Only those who live for 9TH
ers live on in others. The few abhor-
rent names which cling to history like
clots, but prove the general rule. The
path to remembrance and to honor is
the via crucis.
They moved slowly, even painfully
thru the streets on this Mem orial Day,
that splendid debris of an elemental
movement, the remnant Of the grand
army of the republic. Looking on them
who are left of those sierried multi
tudes who in the simple nobility of pure
democracy irrevocably established on
this continent the common right of
human freedom. Looking back upon
that titanic conflict the glittering cir
cumstance of war, and the majesty of
embattled armies fade beneath the
splendor of the idea. The world had been
full of brave men, of mighty leaders
and trembled under the march of mag
nificent armies; but the sun had never
armed to establish the common right
of liberty of all men without considera-
ton of race or color or previous con-
dition Of servitude. That is why the civil
war in America is the greatest ever
fought. That is why its armies were
more than marshalled hosts. It was
not war 1t was 100 centuries of ev-
olution crowded into four gigantic
years.
Thus only those endure who have
served the wise purposes of God. Men
fade as the leaf. They die and are
forgotten; but the memory Of the grand
armies shall bloom in immortal youth
while the freedom they won for all
men exists and fiourishes. If the flu
ture is in their debt the past is their
creditor. Ut offered them the privilege
of accomplishment the opportunity of
immortal action.
Today, then, let US realize that the
greatest element of the war was not
it's incompatible heroism and abnega-
ton but the conception of universal
human liberty upon which it's armies
rallied, to which they dressed ranks and
which they followed where it led thru
long years of agony.
That is what the two short files of
trembling gray men represent. They
are all who are left of the millions who
died and lived for an idea; an idea so
holy that it became religion. They
wrote a statute of common freedom
into the fundamental code of a CONT
nent. They shall survive while it en-

peraments. Just SO it is with color.
We cannot always give reason for
our preferences. but we are sure they
exist. and most people are sensitive
to color to a greater or less degree.
Ones favorite color brings repose and
enjoyment, is conducive to health and
exercises an actual influence on our
life and moods. But even in crafty
ing this preference wisdom must be
shown, for there are many colors OF
which a little is enjoyable when a
mass would be uncomfortable. Constant
" surrounded by glow Of vivid scar
let would be like close companionship
with a brass band, but a touch OF
scarlet amid dull surroundings is a
pleasing sensa ton.
AS far as effect is concerned. the

turbing, according to its quality and
force. Without color room is much

phase Of life. The colorless room has
nothing to tell Of the character Of it's
occupants.
Color In q house includes much that
is classed as furniture. 1t applies to
carpets, draperies and ornaments. but
it is first and pre-eminently applied to
wall treatment. In selecting color for
q single room or for an entire house
certain points must be borne in mind.
The first is that one person does not
make home. It takes the combined
influence and personality Of every per-
son living under the roof to give its
true character. Every book. every pic
ture, every carefully selected piece OF
furniture, brought into the house
makes it part Of beautiful whole.
and no house can be absolutely perfect
without all these evidences Of family
life.
Good rules to follow In selecting col
ors for any room are to make the
choice on this basis:
With reference to the light in the
room.
With reference to other colors in sd-
Joining rooms.
With reference to the general char
acter of the furnishing.
Interiors with a southern exposure

TT AVE you ever considered how
much environment has to do
with the gooC or bad health Of
the individual or family? II
you have thought about It at all you
know that cheerful. pleasant and suit
able surroundings in the home lend
their aid in maintaining good health.
These also assist in character building.
The influence Of such things may be
unconscious to persons who have Civ
en- little or no thought to the subject,
but without doubt the influence exists
to some degree.
The choice Of color, the style and ar
rangement Of furniture, even the pic
lures which adorn the walls. all have
their part in developing the men and
women who inhabit the home. Com
paratively few persons have given
much thought to the study of color.
and as result its selection for house
or furnishings has been more the re-
suit Of chance or miSchance than of
phere to our homes. and rightly chosen
it brings a sense Of comfort and salts
faction with ones abode. If these are
lacking the house has failed to be q
home in the fullest sense of the word.
For one who has never studied color
the best advice is to choose quiet tones
and copy nature as far as possible. If
one has favorite color it should sur
round one in either house furnishing
or personal adornment whenever suit
able. Why not choose colors accord
ing to personal tastes?
We select our friends from sympa-
thy in thought and feeling. We do not
always philosophize about it or stop
to analyze why we find greater pleas
ure in the society Of some people than
In others. But we recognize certain
principles in our liking and know that
we are happier and enjoy our friends
better when we find those principles
and charms have a place in their tenn

Heroic dead, how well you sleep,
While the years come and go,
While stars their vigils keep,
While rivers seward flow.

Responsive to your country's call,

While swings this terrestrial ball.
Now no thunders rock your sky,

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

person as is his custom, "if our pro

Greatest Bridges in World.


This table was made before the OPEN
Ing of the great new Manhattan bridge,
which has the largest carrying capacity
of any bridge I'm the world. It's eight
railroad tracks can handle 10000 pas
sengers an hour In each direction, or a
total Of 100000 an hour without counting
those who cross in vehicles or on foot
This bridge contains 1000 tons of steel,
which is tine largest amount of construc-
ton material ever used in a bridge. It
is record breaker In other respects. It
was open to traffic December 81. and the
ceremony of its Inauguration was the
last act of Mayor Mcclellan.
The Hudson river tunnels from Jersey
City to Fulton street, Manhattan, and
from Hoboken to Christopher street, are
carrying hundreds of thousands of people
every day. The traf1ic is gaining 10 per
cent month. There will be some relief
from the crowded cars when the new
Pennsylvania tunnels are opened for traf-
f1c.
There is already talk OF another set of
tunnels between Manhattan and the Jer-
sey side of the Hudson river at 42d street
There is not the slightest doubt that they

Mayor Gaynor is strongly in favor of
extending the transportation facilities be-

a suburban man. He has always lived in
Brooklyn and naturally has a deeper SYM

of the requirements of suburbanites from
his own personal experience.

1t Is expected that the daily average of
persons passing between Manhattan Is
land and Long Island will reach 100000

are capable of handling $1,000.
The new Manhattan bulge Is $3.50 feet
long. which. by the way, is a mile and a

Fulton Memorial Water Gate.

Another memorial to Robert Fulton will
take the form of a monumental water
gate to be erected on the banks of the
Hudson. extending from Hath to 18th
| street, parallel with Riverside drive, and
will extend into the river for a distance
of about nine hundred feet 1t is intended
to be the main entrance to the city of
New York, where distinguished visitors
in the future may be welcomed with APP
proplfate ceremonies and where the Presi-
dent of the United States can land from
man-of-war II he chooses to do so.
There is no appropriate landing; no
dock or pier on either river that can be
used for ceremonies. On several occa-
sions within the last few years the need
of some such place has been apparent
At the time OF the great naval review
| connected with the Columbian exposition
at Chicago, when all the fleets of the
world came here to greet the caravals Of
Columbus: and only last summer when
the anniversaries of the discovery of the
Hudson and the initial voyage of the
first steamboat were celebrated with the
most splendid marine pageant that was
ever witnessed. there was no place for
distinguished visitors to land.
In considering the plan for the recep-
ton OF distinguished visitors upon that
occasion the idea of having monumental
water gate was suggested. The Robert
Fulton Memorial Association wa organ
lied for the purpose of carrying it into
effect.
