Fort Edwards Monument at Warsaw

ment in that they had not begun to
arrive. Not long after the fort was
built, though, people working toward
the West began to locate in the neigh
borhood of Fort Edwards, and for
years it housed many facilies who
took advantage Of It's shelter until
they we're able to secure locations of
their own.
In Zachary Taylor's time the region
was heavily wooded. Directly across
the Mississippi is the boundary line
between Iowa and Missouri At that
time all of Iowa was in the Sac and
Fox Indian reservation, and each
spring, after the ice went out, the In
dams came down the Des Moines
river, which empties into the Missis-
sippi across from Warsaw, and there
met traders from st. Louis. That in
itself was one reason for Zachary Tay-
lor's selection of the Illinois bluffs at
Warsaw as a point of vantage for
Fort Edwards.
Gradually civilization changed the
nature OF the country, but the years
have not lessened the grandeur Of its
river scenes. Progress has marked the
points where the red men met the
traders from the south. Today from
Fort Edwards point the great Keokuk
power dam may be seen one mile to
the north as a monument to the ad-
vance Of a once desolate region.
Fort Edwards was named after the
first governor Of Illinois, Ninian w.
Edwards. Toward the erection OF the
monument In its memory the state
of Illinois appropriated $4,000.
The old stockade did not achieve
any particular notoriety as a scene of
battle. But 1t was a landmark In the
civilization OF the great Mississippi
valley, and as such deserves the honor
that Illinois now pays it.
Among other things Warsaw Is
noted historically as the boyhood
home OF John Hay. and the house
where his father and mother lived
and died still stands. within two
blocks of Fort Edwards point.
The new monument is built OF
Barre granite. and is fifty feet in
height. On the sides will be placed
bronze tablets of Zachary Taylor. the
fort. and of Governor Edwards.

The correspondent Of the Post in
Petrograd contrasting Russian and
German strategy to the disadvantage
latter, says: Instead of following
of the sound military principles of
seeking out the enemy's strength and
endeavorir g to smash it, the German
defeats in Galicia and in western
Russia, exemplify these tectics. In
both cases the Russians caught them
in precisely the same trap. In the
latter case the Russians left a gap of
twenty miles open ike mouse trap
door, and the Germans marched
gaily in They found no opposition
until they met an unpleasant sur.
prise at the fantastic bends of the
river Niemen. and while trying to
force the Niemen. the jaws of the
trap closed upon them"

Secretary of State Crecelius may be
ignorant, incompetent and unified
for his job. He has certainly shown
bad taste and judgment in putting
as many as four of his relatives on
his payroll at one time. But there
are few who know him that are will
ing to believe that he is corrupt.
VINO stole the automobile license
funds? Why did the circuit judge
enjoin the sinking fund commission
from making an investigation of this
matter? Why is it necessary to go
to the court of appeals to secure this
investigation? What ails that cir
cult Judge? The people out in the
state don't understand this Frank
fort hocus-pocus. and demand an un-
covering of this covering-up BUSH

war will be its ef-
resources OF feet in making the
American Mines. people of this
country realize to
a greater extent the value of its
mineral resources" says Franklin
X. Lane, secretary of the interior.
"Of an importance second only to
that of the food supply" says Mr..
Lane, lis the supply of mineral prod
ments of wentieth-century civiliza-
ton. One of the first effects of the
war has been to make US realize the
interdependence of nations In The mat
ter of food supply. Most of the coun-
tries now at war are dependent upon
importation of foodstuffs, and we have
cause for self-congratulation in the
United States that we are able to
feed ourselves.
What we have possibly not so fully
realized Is that we are nearly as inde-
pendent In the possession of essential
IHlHeTdl TesOuTCe, anu lndt the luler-
ference with manufacturing caused by
interruption of the flow Of importa-
lions of many necessary raw mate
rails may be overcome almost wholly
by development of neglected re-
sources in our own country.
THE main difficulties to be over
come are in the Encouragement of the
distribution system necessary to ~
tablished this independence. Business
is established along certain we'll
marked channels, and usually follows
the line of least resistance. 1t has
been easier, and perhaps cheaper, %

rails from other countries than to
go to the trouble and expense " de-
veloping our own resources of the
same nature. Forced to the latter
course by the suspension OF COM
merce with other countries, believe
that American enterprise and energy
will almost at once turn to the devel-
opment of the native resources, rather
than permit production to lag and sup
ply to be diminished in any Industry"

Europe, and although there may be
many here who in the past have been
hostile to the British nag. they
would today ten times rather be un-

In continuation of their endeavors to

BY heating the air the varnish b caused
to flow more freely through the orifices
