the ability of succeeding within two
and one-half years of turning out a
team of German winners at Berlin in

Prof. Sloane thinks that the broad
international interests of sport make
it fitting that Germany should take
such seps as the next Olympiad host
should be helped in every possible
way to make a premier showing.
Prof. Sloane told his German guests
that they might rely upon the disin-

athletic world in organizing for vic.

as America was disposed to render to
Germany the same support by way of
counsel and practical cooperation as
It had Sweden in the previous 1912

TO EDIT A NEWSPAPER.

DR.. Talmage, one of the greatest
pulpit orators, in one of his sermons
on the Spirit Of the Press" said:
TO publish a newspaper requires
the skill, the precision, the boldness,
the vigilance, the strategy of a
commander in chief. To edit news
paper requires that one be states
man, an eSsayist, geographer, a
lstatistician and, in acquisition, ency-
clopediac. To man, to govern, to
propel a newspaper until it shall be
fixed institution, national fact, de-
mands more qualities than any other
business on earth. If you feel like
starting newspaper, secular or
religious, understand that you are
being threatened with softening of
the brain or lunacy, and throwing
your pocketbook into your wife's lap
start for some insane asylum before
you do something desperate.
First of all, newspapers make
knowledge democratic and for the
multitude. The public library is a
| haymow so high that few can reach
it while the newspaper throws down
the forage to our feet. Public libra
ries are the reservoirs where the
great floods are stored high up and
away off. The newspaper is the tun-
mel that brings them down to the
pitchers of all the people. The chief
use of great libraries is to make
newspapers out of. Great Libraries
make few men and women very
wise. Newspapers lift whole nations
into the sunlight.
you cannot find ten literary men
in Christendom with strong minds
and great hearts but are or have
been somehow connected with the
newspaper printing press. While the
book will always have its place, the
newspaper is more potent Because
the latter N multitudinous do not
conclude it is necessarily superficial.
If man should from childhood to
old age see only his bible. Webster's
dictionary and his newspaper, he
could be prepared for all the duties
of this life and all the happiness of
the next.
There is not single doctrine of
theology but has been discussed in
the last ten years by the secular
newspaper of the country. They
gather UP all the news of all the
earth bearing on religious subjects
and then they scatter the news
abroad again. The christian newspa-
per will be the right wing of the
apocalyptic angel. The cylinder of
the christianized printing press will
be the front wheel of the Lords
chariot"

Esperanto Is Quietly Growing.

Esperanto is a practical Uniyer-
sal language in the sense that a
humber of business houses having
international relations issue cata-
logues and carry on correspondence
in it, and there are about a hundred
periodicals published in it. Many ma
tons, states and cities have intro
duced it into their public schools
The words are mostly derived from
Latin, with a sprinkling from Eng
fish, German and other languages
so chosen that the meanings of the
majority of the roots are obvious to
all moderately educated persons
There are less than 5000 root WORDS
in Esperanto, many of them common
to all the European languages. An
American who knows no language
but English and Esperanto can trav-
ell from Paris to Yokohama, being
met at every station by a native Els
perantist with a badge, who will en-
terrain him during his stay and see
him safely on his journey. This has
been done repeatedly because Es-
perantists are idealists and enthu-
siasts. The New Testament is pub
lished in Esperanto, as well as large
portions of the Old, which will soon
be completed,g-The Christian Her

EARLY MILITARY
HIGHWAYS IN IOWA
Continued from first page)

boys and girls, were taught there.
/ To Mr. Lowry, who was afterward
placed in charge of the work, much
! of it's success was due. 1t was
known in those days as The Mission
afterward as the Old Mission.
This military road from the south
led to the mission, thence on to the
fort. 1t was used as highway to
the two places named, and also by
settlers coming into a new country
or going either to Dubuque or Fort
Atkinson for supplies. At that time
the widely scattered and thinly pop
ulated settlements dotted over the
wilderness, had but these two places
miles apart, in which to do their
shopping. Many had their billing
done at Dubuque. 1t was no soft
snap to be a settler in those days
They were hardy men and women.
This road was undoubtedly one
and the same as far as Fort Atkinson
at least, with the famous trail from
Dubuque to st. Paul, so well known
in the early days. The traffic over
this highway, Notwithstanding the
scattered population, was something
surprising. This road was deeply
worn where the oxen and heavy
wheels had been; while in the center
of the highway was a small ridge
wherein the tall grass grew, some
times high enough to be disturbed
by the passing wagons.
There was yet another highway,
even longer than the two described.
This third road does not appear to
be as well known as the other two,
although it was designated as mill
tary road. 1t had it's beginning at
Davenport following a course to the
north, joining the Dubuque road not
far from the site Of the present town
of Fayette in Fayette county. This
highway is said to have passed
through or near to Quasqueton,
which town was famous becauseaeit
boosted one of the very few mills to
be found in northeastern Iowa at
that early day.
The traditions of this third road
seem to be somewhat vague. One
incident, however, brought it consid-
cradle netofiety.yr-. - ' - =, Z, s

souri, was very low and the market
poor. Only some such condition
would have goaded the owners into
taking the step they did.
For they proceeded to drive these
1900 head of cattle from Missouri
to st. Paul. 1t was a tremendous
undertaking in that early day. On
reaching Iowa, they chose the mill
tary road leading from Davenport
northward, for their route. Driving
this immense herd by easy stages
across the state, they finally came to
the junction of the southern high
way with the Dubuque road. Then
the ruthless drivers urged the beasts
on as far as the fort, where the old
trail to st. Paul was followed. The
cattle were said to have been so well
trained as to promptly obey the ev-
cry crack of whip. This incident
created no little interest among the
scattered early settlers. So far as
is known, there was nothing else
journeying along these highways to
the financial outcome of this bold
venture was, history sayeth not, but
it is to be hoped the owners were
amply rewarded.
1t was not an uncommon thing,
perhaps, for fifteen hundred warri-
ors, besides women and children, to
be gathered around the fort or the
mission, waiting for supplies, with
perhaps only two companies, one of
infantry and one of cavalry, to hold
them in check The wild red men
were oftimes restless. Sometimes,
as for instance, during the severe
winter of 1916, the Indian rations
ran short. Then the government
agent made strenuous efforts to Sc
cure food from every available
source, even getting men with OK
teams to haul -four from the old mill
at Quasqueton during the cold, bliz-
zardy season.
Yet it was mainly over the two
roads, the one between Prairie du
Chen and the Fort; the other north
westward from Dubuque to the same
post, that most of the sup
plies were transported to supply the
wants of the troops, the Indians and
the few scattered settlements.

Tariff Long an Issue.

The first step toward protective
tariff in the United States, for the
protection of infant industries was
taken 81 years ago, when new
schedule was adopted, says the Du-
buque Times-Journal The first
tariff act of the republic, passed in
1888, was designed principally to
raise national revenue, and was only
nominally protective. The restric-
tive action of France and Great Brit
ain, followed by the war of 1872,
made the United States more depen-
dent on itself for manufacturers and
on April 81, 1S16, a new tariff was
adopted, in which the influence of
the manufacturing interests was
shown in the increased duties which
in the case of cotton reached 20 per
cent. BY 1924, when another act
was passed, the movement towards
protection was clear, and the aver
age rate was 81 per cent. A few
years later protection became a whig
doctrine and following a gradual re-
duction in the preceding decade,
high protection was revised in L.
AZ, when the duties averaged 33
per cent. In 1916 the democrats
passed the low Walker tariff act
and from that year until 1851 there
was an approach TO a revenue tariff.
The tariff pendulum went up and
down until the Cleveland admins
tration, when protection became the.
issue of the republican party. Since.
then the tariff has been one of the
greatest nartiSan issues in the Unit
ed States.
