register; and when you combine this
spirit of welcome with the fne at
mosphere of comfort and courtesy the
stay is particularly pleasant. The
hotel will be great assistance to SpG-
kane in making fine impressions on
newcomers, and it will be- a distinct
aid to the future growth of the town.
Another striking structure is the
new Monroe street bridge. Outside or
its utility it is a beautiful production,
and reflects much credit on the gen.
crosby and wisdom OF the city and
the designer as well.

man Review has kept up with the ad-
vanced growth OF the city is splendid.

Dam Due to Mr.. Cooper.
The Keckuk dam, while 1t has been
urged by various engineers since 1s4S,
owes its final conception and compile
ton to the energy and enthusiasm OF
Mr.. Cooper, who saw the feasibility
of great concrete monolith to include
dam, locks and power. station. Over
considerable opposition he finally got
the pro;ee' under way and it was
completed last summer.
Besides furnishing great quantities
of water power, the dam, with its
=, %ox ~
the gulf to the great lakes, and Is OF
inestimable commercial value to the
middle west.
In the plant are 119 concrete spans
4,72s feet long, with abutments of H.
46e feet. The entire monolith, which
includes dam, power house, locks, dry
dock, sea wall and Ice fender, has a
linear length OF 21z miles.
One Of the engineering problems
solved by Mr.. Cooper and his assist
ants was the building OF the dam dur
ing times when the river was solidly
frozen over. This was done by haul
ing brush and stone on the frozen
river and heaping it in the required
fashion Just over the place where the
dam is destined to rest on the bot
tom. When spring came and the ice
melted the mass Of stone and brush
work sank into place without any
further direction.
Came to Spokane In 1889.
Mr. Cooper's experience in Spokane
dated from the fire Of 1889. He moved
here shortly after the fire and left in
/ 1893. While in Spokane he did large
contracting and engineering business.

so? On the contrary, the war came
not because China and Korea were
unprepared but because Japan was.
The Franco German war of 1870
is cited as another proof. The war
came, the assayist declares, because
France was unprepared. Again It is

France was unready but because
Germany was ready.

AND FROM HIS PULPIT DEClAR-
ES Ex-PRESIDENT is WRONG
ABOUT MILITARY PREPARED
NESS.

Kansas City, No, Dec. 29.--ln an
attack upon Theodore Roosevelt for
opposition to the pacifsts. the Rev
George II. Combs Sunday pictured
the expresident as "a little shy on
grammar, knowing only the super
latiye degree and never notable for
speech restraint"
with him there Is only black
and white-of intermediary delicate
shadings he knows little" he de-
clared. For all matters beneath the
sun he has only two words OF char
acterization-'bully' or 'bosh.'
ITO him, all programmes are like
the boy in the jungle, when it's good
it's very, very good, and when it's
bad it's horrid.' And so in his ready
summary, all citizens of the republic
are either far sighted patriots,
preaching the gospe! of national pre-
paredness for war, or silly sentimen-
talists, following the willo' the
wisps of an impractical idealism."
AS an advocate Of peace. Dr. Combs
in his morning service at the lnde-
pendence Boulevard Christian church, |
was answering current magazine |
article in which Roosevelt urges big
increases in the army and navy.
His strong teeth are no more a
natural gift than his downright mill
Lancy; his favorite exhortation 'Nev-
re hit soft is a very key word TO
his constitutional doughtiness," said

Belgium an Example.

Belgium was prepared for war
But did that preparedness save hel
from being the cockpit of Europe,
To go back only five months to the
origin of the greatest war in the
worlds history. was that war brought
on by unpreparedness If the nations
OF Europe had not been vast mill
tary camps would this war have been
precipitated?
Without any intention to fix the
blame for this awful carnage. can
any man believe that if Germany had
not been ready to fight at the drop
OF the hat that war would have
come? No. Unpreparedness would
have meant delay-delay would have
given time for counsel-and out OF
sober second thoughts would nave
come-peace.
Consider next Mr.. Roosevelt's un-
disguised contempt for arbitration
treaties. Like the Germans, he holds
them as mere scraps OF paper Add
ing new phrase, if not new
thought, to the controversy, he de-
clares that our recent arbitration
treaties are so much fiat money
Admittedly Mr.. Roosevelt has lit
tie confidence in International honor
or fidelity. But not TO dwell upon
this somewhat cynical and pessimis-
tic estimate, it is worth while to
note that it is in the cause of this
so-called fiat money he would have
