OF Mr.. Rooseve,ts many sides. most
OF US know much The least known has
TO do with his love for nature and his
study Of wild life. His activities IN
politics and in behalf OF various re-
forms. hi. official career, his life IN
the cattle country and his hunting have
been exploited time and again, but his
hunting in nature study IS not compre-
hended by any considera bic portion OF
the public, and probably for the very
good reason that no considerable por-
ton Of the public knows enough about
nature and nature study to fee! intel
ligent sympathy with it. People who'll,
ignorant OF a subject can hardly be
supposed 70 comprehend anything
about Il. A great majority OF the news
papers, and almost all those who wrote
to the newspapers commenting on Mr..
Roosevelts African expedition. seemed
TO believe tina, the trip was being made
for no other purpose than to butcher
an indeterminate number OF wild AMI
mails. A few people knew that the ex-
petition was very much more than
this. and that 1t had serious purpose
which was accomplished. - From

CHURCH FOR SERVICE.

The new Morningside resbyterian
Church of New York. which was dedi-
Gated a few days ago. has one OF the
most Ella borate systems and equipment
for practical service in existence. One
o fits most novel works is pure milk
route for sick babies which has been II

wears With the milk goes a trained
nurse to see that the mothers are prop
srIv trained n feeding their infants
The parish house contains .wo halls,
a theatrical stage, roof garden. gym
rasiurn. billiard room. bowling alleys.
NO doubt this church's conception OF
service will shock many good and sin
cere church people, both in its own
denomination and out. The Morning
side church, however, IS doing what
the opponents of the church find the
most effective method Of recruiting.

CANAoA's POSTAL BANKS.

Canadas experience with postal, or
government, savings banks throws
Ugh, on some controverted points in
connection with the establishment Of a
like system IN this country.
The dominion ma tnlains Two distinct
systems Of savings banks. one is
operated by the postoffice department
and the other By the department Of
finance. The poslotfica department not
only takes care Of the savings accounts
Of deposits, but II also goes into the
insurance field far enough 10 sell an
nuities and old age pensions. A 10 per
cent gold reserve is set aside by the
government against the savings de-
sosits, but 10 other assets are en-
ployed for their security. The money
savings bank systems - regarded az
popular loan, and IS used for the gen
.eral expenses OF the government Last
year the governments savings banks
received aDou. 100000 in deposits.
O: this amount nearly $50, 900 900 came
thru the possoSf;ce banks. The govern
.nent does not attempt 20 compete with
the chartered banks, which offer M ch
he..er facilities - he average deposi-
tor. It has been discovered that the
bulk OF the deposits in the govern
menrs banks is from the savings Of
persons who have never been accus-
toned to use banks and who are sus-
picion OF even the chartered institu-
tons. Canadian business men, for the
most part, are said to believe that the
operation OF the government banks has
not interfered 10 any appreciate extent
with the independent institutions.
Thus several features that have
bothered, and are bothering. Us here
appear to be the source Of little or no
annoyance there. A noticeable point
is that while cutlery IS made here
against putting the savings funds into
government securities, there they use
the money as popular loan TO run the
government and nobody seems to think
anything OF it.

Question for Fif.h Generation.

The very leaders from the western
states who at St. Paul most strenu-
ously demanded state control OF Tor
ests, water powers, and so on. were
men who were not born In the states
they now represent. but who went there
to make their individual fortunes OUT
OF the only thing available,-namely,
the natural resources OF the wilderness
Such men are entitled to admiration
and respect, for 1t is the pioneer spirit
that has created the country. But 1t
takes a spirit exactly opposite to that
Of the pioneers to provide carefully FOR
the preservation OF natural resources.
The young people Of Ohio are today
the fifth generation in descent from the
people who were clearing away the
forests and founding settlements AFTER
the Revolutionary war. IL the NATION
had any resources by way OF public
lands, mineral deposits. and the like
remaining in the state Of Ohio. 1t could
aa-ise5!y make them over 10 the state
itself. And the time may we'll come
when what is left OF the national do
main, including forests. mineral depos-
its, and water power, can best be made
over to the states lying west Of the
Missouri river But that time has not
yet arrived.
AS for the eastern states. there would
be no very good reason for federal in
tervent;on in such matters as forestry.
except for the difficulties involved In
getting several contiguous states to act
together If New England could fnd
way to take care of the forests OF
Maine, New Hampshire. and Vermont.
and If the southern Appalachian states
could find way 70 conserve their for
ests, without federal action, such . So
luton would be most desirable. But the
difficulties are so great that the forests
are likely to be swept away before the
| states themselves will rise to the
lemergency-From THE Progress Of

not conceivable. no matter what the
remote future may have In store. that
Cathay will overshadow Europe before
the close Of the twentieth century in
any part OF human endeavor. Instead
Of drawing away, America is drawing
closer to Europe every year On the
other hand Europe is drawing closer to
America. People are no longer ''voy-
aging across the Atlantic in either d.
rection: they are ferrying; London Ia
practically to New York as is San
Francisco. The affairs Of America and
of Europe are SO intimately related
that what affects the one affects the
other.
All this, and much more in the same
strain might be said without prejudice
TO the Pacific ocean or the PACING
coast. Residents OF the central west
and the east that are not Keeping
themselves informed with regard to the
growth of the Pacific coast communi-
ties are falling sadly behind the times,
II is not only in California. In Oregon
and in Washington. that industrial ana
ommercial expansion is calling for at
tent.on. but in Alaska. where founda-
lions are being laid for seaports which
within generation or two will become
sateWayS 20 new empire.
And here may be mentioned point
that seems to have escaped public at
tention. The opening up OF the Pan
ANA canal will bring the ports of the
Pacific not only closer to the eastern
sea board Of the United States but to
the maritime cities of Europe. Allan
tic commerce will be increased rather
than diminished by the growing i'm
portance of the Pacific coast and the
Pacific ocean.
The outlook Is bright for the Pacific
coast. and the brightness cannot be
dimmed by the fact that it's prosperity
will not be at the expense OF the AZ
lantic coast. So closely are human
ties being knitted by the advancing
years and advancing though, that pros
poets that are bright for one part OF
the earth must in the near future mean
bright prospects for all.

REFoeMERs FOR REVENUE.

w alS.lOO 1SepoIt
Burlington and Cedar Rapids are
having an experience that every city
might feel happy to escape. Outside
reforn,ers have come into both places
to enforce the "lawy.' that the natives.
or residents, have not shown the prop
er expedition 70 invoke. according to
the complaint usually made by for
eign affiant or homegrown radical.
1t is not 70 be wondered at that there
is a protest from the people at home
because OF the invasion Of the reform.
ers for revenue Suits have been start
ed nd;scriminately. scores and Two
scores at a swoop, and the only appar-
ent reason for doing the deed at whole
sale is indicated by the knowledge thas
the fee is so much per. This sort OF
proceeding lessons respect for tho mo-
tive behind the move, and that is only
natural. The police power OF every
community should be 30 effectively
employed that there would be no
chance for carpetbagEer reformers to
pick up money that savors SO strongly
of the faint OF blackmail. Waterloo
has been thru the same mill. and our
experience makes it easy to have sym
pathy with the Indignation heard from
Burlington and Cedar Rapids. And the
end of it all was the collection OF COM

A GUM SHOE CAMPAIGN.
fDes Moines Capital.l

4 gum shoe campaign Is being car.
ried on in this state in the interest
Of the repeal OF the mulct law. Under
the mulct law we are told that eighty
counties have prohibition.
The mulct law has the advantage OF
any other local option law. Prohibi-
ton is the established rule and unless
the penalties OF prohibition are stayed
by a mulct petition prohibition is the
rule. Under q straight license law, II.
uor has the right Of way until the same
IS changed by vote. 1t is better that
the liquor interests shall do all the
fighting to establish saloon. This Is
a better way than to require the tenn
perance people to make fight to keep
the saloon out. AS we have said be-
fore, we do not believe prohibition is
possible for the city of Dies Mofnes.
Nor do we believe it would be wise TO
undertake 1t.
But it would certainly be unwise to
undertake to establish a saloon at
every cross road which would be pos.
sible under the principle laid down a"
the state democratic platform. the
farm boys Of iowa have been getting
along very well without any saloons
at the cross roads. Present policies
should be continued. We have warned
the people to awaken to what Is go
ing on.

lican nominees are pledged to the DEM

would be well to inquire OF republican
