Washington, D. CA splendid
piece OF work was accomplished in
the house recently by Representa-
tive La Toilette of Washington,
who instead OF using the usual
hammer and tongs tactics which
inevitably have brought members
up against stone wall, tried the
molasses without vinegar plan,
and thereby won over the support
of Leader Underwood and the
members of the public lands CON-
mittee, who consented to a dis.
charge Of their committee and
gave immediate consideration in
the house to the senate bill pro-
viding an extension Of time for
settlers to make payment on desert
lands in the counties Of Grant and
Franklin in the state of Washing :
ton. In this Legislation the people
OF these counties who have been
| affected by the failure of a private
irrigation enterprise, will be given
relief.
Republican Leader Mann de-
clarts: Everybody except the
President knows that this bill can
not 60 through the senate during
November" He refers to the
currency legislation and adds that
| he is willing to stake his legisla-
tive Judgment "for all time to
, come on the proposition that the
currency bill will not be reported,
as the president says, the first
week in November, and that it
! will be passed in the senate within
! three weeks thereafter" The alb
sence of quorum in the house
has been disturbing Mr.. Mann
more than anything else, while in
, the senate there was near riot
the other day when Senators
Borah, Cummins, La Toilette,
Chamberlain, Kern and Ashurst
united in a demand that every
power Of the senate be used to
bring absentees back to Washing
ton. Tie senate found il difficult
for several days to conduct bust
| ness because nearly one half OF its
membership was out Of the city.

of school building for sectarian, re-

to construction of the law prepared
by Raymond L. Givens, county at

superintendent of schools in Ada
county. The opinion was prepared
October l8 and handed down Sunday.
Mr.. Giyens interprets the law now
operative 10 this connection and ex-
plains why the law does not prohibit
such use of school property. ln his
opinion trustees Of independent dis
tricts have authority to rent school
property for religious or other pur-
poses and trustees of other districts
may permit such use of the property
entrusted to their care, but may not
collect rent therefor. r.-Statesman.

THE MONEY FAMINE
AND ARMAMENTs

The new German and Prussian loans,
a~ggregating more than $ll 200, 900.
have failed and but half the required
amount has been subscribed. This is a
remarkable event and it may ave a
remarkable erect upon German policy.
1t proves that there is not enough
money to ego round' even now. How
much less will there be if GERMANY
spends a further $50, 0OO,0 900 of capital
on the eauipment required by her new
army bill? Even the greatest of EN-
pires may be taught by this suggestive
incident that it must "eut its cost ac-
eording to its cloth and thus out of
evil of the money crisis good may
come.
The failure of the loan is. from
many points Of view. not a matter for
tears. The increase of ornaments or
all sides is largely responsible for the
money crisis, and now the money
crisis begins to threaten the advance
of ornaments. The crisis may render
the German scheme impossible of exc
%cution, for, before money can be spent
by the $40. 900 900. it must be forth
coming from some quarter. 1t is quite
clear that the bankers in Germany
cannot supply the required credit,
since they have on their hands the
"undigested' loan of 800. 900 900 is
sued last February In the past the
German Michael. as an American writ
err has cleverlv observed. has flourish
ed in virtue of constant simultaneous
injections of French and American
%canital. But French financiers are
face to face with a French loan for
$40, 900, 900 American fnaneiers will
have more than they can do to meet
the requirements of their own rail
ways. Thus Germany cannot borrow
abroad the money which she cannot
obtain at home. 1t really looks as
though sheer financial pressure might
at last check the race in ornaments
which is exhausting the energy of
Europe, and might thus assuage the
rivalry of the nations.-London Daily
Mail.

NEW SOURCES
OF ELECTRIC POWER

The turning on of the first install.
ment of power from the Keokuk dam
marks the beginning of what should
be a great era of industrial advance.
ment in st. Louis. The first install.
ment mounts to 10000 horsepower
As needed this will be increased 10
a final total of 10000. Not many years
ago such a power in use in one
manufacturing district would have
been considered wonderful. no matter
how secured II is still wonderful as
a feat of long-distance electric trans
mission.
1t is not so very long since the first
practical success was made in trans
porting high potential currents from
central power stations over long dis
tances bv wire. to be taken up and
transformed into weaker currents for
practical use. The first great success
made in this work in this country was
the Harvesting of the beautiful Will
lamette falls in Oregon, and sending
the current sixteen miles to Portland
for use by the street ears and fac
tories. That was about twenty years
ago. Following closely upon this was
the establishing of power stations at
Niagara Falls, and some twelve years
ago the longest transmission in the
country, if not in the world, was
achieved in California, where a eur
rent from a station in the Sierra
was sent 1877 miles to the cities around
San Francisco bay. At first these high
potential currents suffered consider
able loss in transmission, but i'm
proved methods have reduced the loss
to a minimum. Nothing, however, has
reduced the danger from them, and
the general public can only be pro-
tected by having wires kept beyond
reach or contact. This is being lone
in al effective way by the Keokuk
company by constructing tall steel
towers upon which the heavy wires
are carried. Inside the city these
wires are laid in tubes beneath the
streets.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

FEATURES
OF MODERN WARFARE

The British army is shortly to be
equipped with a new type of rifle,
possessing a considerably longer bar
rel than the present mode, and a
slightly decreased bore. With this
weapon it will be possible to discharge
a bullet with a very high velocity and
penetrating power.
N~inety-nine people of a hundred
will jump to the conclusion that this
weapon has been designed in order to
increase the wholesale slaughter and
carnage that is generally supposed to
be the inevitable outcome of modern
warfare. As a matter of fact, this is
quite a mistaken idea.
Modern weapons of war are rapidly
developing into very humane instru-
ments as compared with those of a few
years ago. This tendency is not due
to any humanitarian reasons, but sole
" because it is not policy to create
wholesale slaughter in ~present-day
warfare.
Experts have discovered that to
wound an enemy is far better than
killing him. A number of wounded sol
diers entails responsibility on the side
that they represent, which is a severe
handicap in a strenuous war campaign.
Ambulance corps and field hospitals
have to be maintained. and in big
campaigns where casualties are large
the burden of taking care of the
wounded is no small matter.
That is one great reason why mod
ern weapons tend to put a man TEN
porarilv ont of action and not TO kill
him. The terrific speed of a bullet
discharged from a modern high power
rifle sends, it, IN nine eases out of ten,
right through a man. IT puts him ont
but seldom kills him.-Pearson' g
Weekly.

Fire Destroys
Gray's Building.

Fire broke out in the rear of
the Gray building on Friday eve
ming last. Owing to the made
quate means for extinguishing
the fire it speedily gained head
way and all efforts were bent to-
wards saving the Mills building,
Cotton's garage and the printing
Office to the south. A bucket
brigade headed by several of the
citizens, the cement walls of the
fated building and an east wind
saved the rest of the row. The
origin of the fire is unknown.
The building was divided into
four rooms, one used by Gray as
a meat market, the other by
Mrs. Gray as a millinery and
daessmaking establishment. The
family lived in the rear rooms
and were at the dance when the
fire was first discovered.
The building and entire con
tents were completely destroyed
a considerable sum of money
burned and also property be-
longing to patrons of Mrs. Gray.
The Grays estimate their loss at
about $1,000. Insurance in the
Fidelity Phoenix for 5000.

hundreds took in. the ball game
races etc. 1t was an eventfu |
day in the towns history, the
best celebration in 20 years.
Great credit is due to those who
worked so hard to make the eel

closed with a magnificent dis
play of fire works, picture show
at the school house and a grand
ball in the Kaiser building.
