crHE PIE COUNTER.

- cfSioux City Journal]
There Isl a natural disposition to
harpoon the Iowa democrats with all
the old pie counter Jokes which they
themselves used to perpetrate on tne
republicans. It's the custom Of the
country. Candidly, however. the lows
democrats have got on very well with
the patronage. There has been no
unseemly rush when the dining room
door were thrown open-nothing
more than usually happens in like
case.
The democrats. too were at some
disadvantage. They had no repre-
sentative in the senate and only three
Of the states eleven Representatives In
the house. Thus 1t was necessary Tor
them at the outset to irnprovise a
method of giving out the offices as
they became vacant since 1t COM
monty happens that there will be
many applicants for one Office.
The plan that was adopted has been
criticised in some quarters. but 1t has
been accepted and acqu!esced in by
the great mass OF the party. 1t Is.
Of course, absurd to dream that a
president can personally hear and try
out all patronage applications. rival
ries and contentious. He would not
have time enough for that II he did
nothing else. The plan adopted for
iowa was doubtless as practicable and
satisfactory as could have been h't
upon.
At any rate. the result seems to be
as favorable. both from the party
standpoint and from that Of the pub
lie service. as could reasonably be ex-
pected. The major Office appoint
ments so far made are a good class
Of men. There are no doubt not
few personal disappointments. but this
was inevitable. however the settlement
went. In the utmost view. considering
the tick.ish nature OF this whole pat
ronage business, the Iowa democrats
may at least congratulate themselves
that it has turned out no worse than
il has. -.

though the conflict ragged with great
violence along the whole west flank
from the sea to north of scissors. II
is evident that the day produced
nothing decisive.
North of Scissors. in the region
which is the cornerstone of the battle
line. there was an artillery conflict
with the result favorable to the Brit
ish and French. General Joffre re-
ports that three German batteries
were put out of action. Eastward to
the Argonne ridge there was no
fighting of importance. but the official
report Of the afternoon states that
the French gained slight successes in
the region OF Nerdun.
Correspondents in Belgium and
northern France assert that the Allies
have made more progress than has
been reported by the commander in
chief: that the warships have made
the Belgian coast too hot for the Ger
mans to hold; that a retreat has al
ready begun from the coast. and that
the main conflict on the whole west
flank must be decided very soon. If
for no other reason than the terrible
losses which both sides are suffering.

FOR
HOSPITAL MAY
BEGIN SOON
Building Committee Has Power To
Start the Work
ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION DELAYED
Bids Ranged from $4,000 to 100000
But Figures Can Be Reduced by
Economical Charges

The incorporators of the Henry W.
Putnam Memorial hospital associa-
ton held an adjourned meeting at
the town rooms in the Richie block
Friday afternoon when the plans pre-
sented by the building committee
were accepted.
Ii was the sense of the meeting
that the time to begin work on the
construction of the hospital had not
arrived but the building committee
was given power to make the exca.
walton on the lot recently purchased
If the committee thought 1t desirable
to do the work during the present
fall and coming winter
The plans for the building were
prepared by Frank Leslie Walker, a
New York architect, and in the opin-
ion of the committee they call for a
building not only modern In every
-equirment but for structure that
will commemorate the generosity
which is establishing the institution
The building will be 1873 feet in
length and 100 feet in depth. two
stories high and constructed Of brick.
A water color made from the plans is
on exhibition in the window of the
county clerks Office.
The committee received eight bids
for the construction of the building,
the estimates ranging from $4,000 to
100000 in round numbers. Before
any contract is let it is probable that
economical changes will be made in
the plans which will reduce these
figures at least $4,000.
