Lieut.. Gen. Nelson A. Miles in an
interview last week which was print
ed in the New York World has the fol
lowing to say in regard to the big
European war which will be OF inter
est to Review readers:
IF Russia comes to the aid Of Servia
in tho present war it is dullicult to
see how the rest OF the six powers can
avoid being drawn into the conflict,
and no man can say what the result
will be.
: IF Russia stays out and Germany,
as she now says she will do, backs
Austria, iii will simply amount to
Austria's falling possession OF Servia
and doing as she plcases with that
country"
1T is a terrible thing to contemplate
he continued, 80: il Europe is involv-
ed it means that there will be nearly
10000 900 men 1ailablc for war. Rus
STA alone can put 100000 to 7,OOO,OO0
men in the field, and Russia would
make far different showing than she
did in the war with Japan.
",rhen she had to take her soldiers
5000 miles over single track rail
road, which was in poorer condition
than any one of our own six CONT
mental lines. The. Russian army is now
in good condition ana very powerful.
Germany can put 100000 men in
the field; Austria can show 2,5O0,UOO:
France 100000. and Italy 100000.
Just what Greece, RoEmania and Bull
garia will do is prob4ematical. You
know that last summer Roumania took
advantage of the situation when Ser
via and Bulgaria were at war to mobil-
ize 100000 OF her army of 100000,
throw troops right across the Danube
and seize Bulgarian territory, which
ERoumania still holds. What she will

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE AUS.
TRO-SERvIAN ISSUE.

In fight, no matter what the ma
ture or character of the combatants,
there is always a widespread dispo-
sition to inquire into the status OF
the under dog.
In considering the merits of the
Austrian controversy the first
step has naturally been to make com
parison OF the military strength and
prowess of the two nations. 1t has
as the weaker of the two and to charge
Austria as being the arrogant and UNI
just aggreSsOl.
The other side of the issue is fore
IDLY presented by the "EX-Attache,"
who in an article in the Chicago
Tribune, argues that Servia has been
an aggressor Of such irritant activity
as no nation would tolerate without
protest.
In stating the situation the writer
uses the following illustration:
"If Mexico, for instance, in addition
to all sorts of hostile discrimination
against American economic and politi-
cal interests, covering period of
years, as well as long series of dip
lomatic and consular atfrOnts, had Civ
en- official encouragement and support
to popular movement having for its
avoWed object, the annexation of Tex
as, New Mexico and California;. had
encouraged dsaffection among some
millions of Latin Americans living III
those states against Uncle Sam. and
had tolerated conspiracy against the
lives Of the president and vice pres
ident of the United States, resulting
I'M tile murder of the latter by Next
can assassins, armed with pistols and
bombs issued by the government ar
senal in Mexico, and furnished with
funds by important Mexican digni-
taries of state, the ultfmatum which
would have been addressed from
Washington to, Mexico would have
been ever more sharp and brutal than
that presented On Thursday by Austria
to Seryia, for reasons of an identical
ly similar character"
The writer then argues that all
that was demanded in the Austrian
ultimatum was that the Servian 'offfc-
ials actually incriminated in the as
sassination of the. Archduke Francis
Ferdinand be brought to justice; that
the Pan-Servian society which openly
aims at the annexation to Servia OF
Herzegovina and Bosnia be suppress
ed by royal decree and that the .Sery-
ian government and people abandon
their policy of hostility, insult and
provocation.
This is the "other side" Of the Aus
troSerVian issue-the merits of which
will have to be taken into consdera-
ton when final settlement is made.

A SENSIBLE PROPOSITION

What do you think about booze and
the married man? Well, what | think
about the married mans relation to
drink is quickly and easily told. To
him have to say: Drink never! But
il married man will drink, let me
say to him, in all earnestness, to do
that which Florida editor has asked
the married drinker to do: Start a
saloon in your own house, BE its only

The ability OF Europe to buy hmeri-
can food and manufactures would be
permanently reduced. Europe would be
impoverished in energy, credit and
money. Steamship lines OF commerce
would be broken, business failures
would be numerous, and the people
would be forced to cut down their
daily expenses.
Exports from the United States
would fall to a great extent. American
factories which now send their goods
to Europe would be struck hard
blow.
Therefore it behooves the United
States to be prepared. 1t is not living

Eeverything that craftsmanship can
do to fortify the position Of the United

There is just one thing we would
like to have our democratic friends
reconcile in our mind. We can't get
it through our noodle why they so
vociferously proclaimed before the
last election that the tariff was rob-

and now, as vociferously and more
yehemently deny every, time the mar

That Prohibition Plank.

We confess 10 some disappointment
in the action OF the republican state
convention is not taking n more radi-
cal and determined stand on the liquor
question instead OF the non -commlttai
attitude adopted in the endorsement
OF the present mulct law. We fear
that it will prove q weak spot III the
republican arnOr. Nothing can be
gained in lodging a question so vital
to the people OF Iowa or so man!testly
right. The prohibition sentiment over
the whole country is gradually grow
ing and as we had previously stated
in these columns, the political party
that will open its eyes to the signs OF
the times is wise. Aside from this one
item the republican platform suits us
very weil,--RiceyiIle Recorder.
Commenting on the above paragraph
the independence Bulletin-Journal
says:
The republican convention endorsed
the law that has done more for TEN
perance in Iowa than all the other
statutes passed since the birth of the
state It has banished the saloon from
every locality where there is the least
possibility of enforcing the law and
IN the few remaining wet spots has
cut the number OF joints down about
ninety per cent. Possibly it is not
entirely satisfactory TO some theorists
because it is too practical method,
but most people believe in results.
The uiulcy law gives every cOmmun'
nifty in Iowa that wants prohibition a
chance TO have it and all of such
have got it. There is not saloon in
Mitchell county, where the Recorder
is published, and no probable danger
of there being any in the future.
Therefore, we confess we connot see
why the people in Mitchell county
should lose any sleep, because, with
the conditions in Dubuque and Scott
counties, prohibition at present would
be. almost as much OF Il farce as it
was before them ulct low was passed,
and the number Of joints would double
up inside of thirty days. The time
will come when prohibition can be
made effective in localities like Du-
buque and Scott counties, but it is a
long way in the future. Meanwhile it
would be folly of the worst type to
take chances in legislation that might
lose to Buchanan and Mitchell coun-
ties the advantages they now have.

We denounce the profligatc waste

SPEAK WELL OF YOUR TOWA

There are few things more dis couraCing than to hear a person dispmaging and criticising the town in which he lives.
 Loyalty to the home town is one of the prerequisites of good citizenship and it is true always that the best citizen, the one who is most valuable to the commun- ity, is not the one who is con stantly complaining and criticis- ing, but is the one who always has a good word to say for the town, and if some things are dis pleasing, puts forth his best ef- forts to enlist the aid of the citi- zens in correcting the faults.
 The knoeker is a mighty poor asset to the community, even though he may be q large taXpay- CT. The man who boosts, day in and day out, who forgets the dis agreeable things and talks only of the advantages of his home town, is the one who is helping to make the town better and brighter and to add to its attrac- tiveness. even though his bank account be small and his oppor- tunities for helping in a financial way be limited.

 It not only injures these insti- tutions but hampers the legis- lature by making it possible for corkscrew politicians to inject these matters into the entire business of the session.
 We should be just, liberal and honest with our higher educa- tional institutions, and in return we should demand honest and efficient service for the people from these institutions. The first and most important step in doing this is to take these insti- tutions out of politics.

A new law went into effect in Kentucky last year which pro- vides for a tax on dogs. From this fund the owners of sheep killed by dogs are reimbursed for their losses and the balance of the tax is turned into the school funds of the various coun- ties. The state reports show that taxes were paid on 123, 546 dogs in Kentucky last year, and the taxes collected, after paying for the sheep losses, produced a balance for the school fund of $43, 876. It occurs to The Jour nal that this is a splendid law and one that it would be well to adopt in Arkansas.

4 CHANGE THAT IS BADLY Y NEEDED

The matter of changing the method of providing for the maintenance of the various edu- cational institutions of the state is being freely discussed by some of the state officials.
 It is suggested that funds for these institutions be raised by a direct tax on a mill basis, just as the funds for the public schools are raised.
 The Journal believes the pre- posed change would be a good thing, both for the State and for the educational institutions. It would not mean any increase in the rate of taxation, and instead of relying on appropriations by each legislature, State education al institutions would draw their proportion of money from this fund each year. The money ap- propriated by the legislature each session for the various schools would revert to the fund from which the schools would draw their money.
 Such plan, if adopted, would do away with so much political jay-hawking and brow beating by the officials of the State Uni versity and other state institu- tions in every session of the leg islature.
 When the legislature meets in January it will be asked to ap- propriate at least $500, 000-and possibly a million dollars-for the maintenance of the Univer- sity, the State Normal and the four Agricultural Schools during the coming two years. These schools always ask for more than they expect to get, and those who are interested in get ting the appropriations as large as possible will bring all sorts of questionable methods to bear upon the members of the legis- lature in their efforts to get liberal appropriation.
 This is entirely wrong. The State needs these institutions; 1t must have them; and should be liberal in providing for their maintenance;but the state should not permit those in ch arge of these institutions to play cheap
