The Roosevelt Party

Des Moines Capital. The nomina-
ton of Roosevelt and Johnson as the
standard bearers Of the new national
progressive party Wednesday was the
expected climax of program which
has been in process of formation for
several months past.
There were no surprises for the
public at any stage Of the proceedings.
With the formal launching of the
Roosevelt party movement the general
debate will begin. It would be idle to
deny that the dominating force of the
party is Roosevelt. The platform
adopted is the present day Roosevelt
creed. The Capital does not believe
that new party formed largely as
the expression Of a perscnality-nc
matter how brilliant or forcible-can
ever acquire the character of perman
ence in public affairs.
This Is not saying that the new par

certain sections 1t may even poll q

the AGRICULTURAL BILL.

The agricultural bill finally passed
congress Thursday and will be signed
by the President in day CT two. 1t
contains the provision allowing $780,
600 in aid of instruction in farm man
agement In counties. As soon as the
president signs the bill, Secretary
Wilson will begin completing the ar
rangements with counties that have
planned to utilize a share of the fund
on the basis OF the government paying
half the salary and expenses of an ex-
pert and the county paying half.
Representative Pepper will see the
department of agriculture and will
perfect arrangements for experts in
Clinton, Scott and Muscatine counties
These arrangements have been in
progress for some time and can be
completed when the president signs
the bill. Representative Pepper plans
to encourage the idea in his district

What say the bells Of San Bias
To the ships that southwark pass
From the harbor Of Mazatian?
To them 1t is nothing more
Than the sound of surf on the shore,
Nothing more to master or man.
But to me, dreamer of dreams,
To whom what is and what seems
Are often one and the same,
The bells of San Bias to me
Have strange, wild melody,
And are something more than a

They say, "and in its stead
Is some new faith proclaimed,
That we are forced to remain
Naked to sun and rain,
Unsheltered and ashamed?

Our warnings and our complaints;
And round above us there
The white doves filled the air,

Where and when the race for pre-,

decade ago were content with follow-
ing q policy of replacement and re-

is q record figure in that line OF con-
struction. Even Greece has got to-
gether the means for paying for a
battleship which is to be just below
dreadnought dimensions. Spain is
providing itself with modern fleet,
and the Portuguese project of con-
struction is halted only until the roy
alist agitation is extinguished beyond
possibility Of revival. Turkey has a
dreadnought impounded by the neu-
traiity laws of England. II ever there
was a time when the peace advocates

tulate against the tremendous cost oil

need conversion. National prejudices

WHY THEY DO NOT DISARM
Fever Of Preparedness Grips Eastern Nations

Boston Transcript: DR.. Eliot in an
interview at Honolulu discussing dis
armament is reported as saying that
disarmament would be impossible for
Japan because of its insular position
which renders it necessary for 1t to
be able to protect its routes Of ocean
commerce. A similar explanation
which the ex-president OF Harvard
has advanced for Japan can be APP
piled to many nations. They have
reasons of their own for maintaining
powerful ships and armies to protect
their interests, either on land or sea.
These reasons seem good to them and
are not to be derided at any time in
advance of the assured advent OF
the epoch of converting spears into
pruning hooks and swords into plow-
shares. The world is not altfuistic as
yet, the powers are Jealous of one an
other and while giving cordial recep-
ton to invitations to peace conferen-
ces and while lamenting the growing
cost of armament they are all accu-
mulating good stores of powder and
see that it is kept dry. "'T is true,
It is pity. and pity t is I is true.

lily becoming greater. Germany is
planning an increase of Its army con-
temporaneously with a large and rapid
