The fact is that Mexico is not ready

The EN- DEN.

The Ernden has passed into history
with the Alabama and the privateers
and commerce destroyers Of older
times. Her career was daring, bold
and successful She had become such
a terror to the marine OF German
opposition that when she vas finally
destroyed marine insurance rates

ships manned by Adventures which
of the dons and ravished the riches
wrung from old Peru were ancestors
Of the steel water wolf that ranged
the seas among the lambs Of British
commerce. The Emden ran her course
and met her certain fate. The men
who manned her have paid their debt
to glory and the Emden and her crew
are of history TO gid the song and
story Of the nation that sent her forth
and furnish glorious allusion to the
fervid oratory that finds its theme in
battle and sudden death.
A merchant ship carrying the sur
plus of one people to another in need
is of more worth in the world than all
the Emdens and Alabamas OF all ma
tons and all times that have ranged
the seas like sharks. But there is
something about the unflinching course
Of the Emden that must appeal to him
who most hates war and the legalized
destruction OF life and property which
is war. Without port in all the
world, chip upon the face Of the
wideflung waters the Emden and her
crew defied the allied navies Of three
mighty powers. fought ner fight and

way. The men who manned her are

men are always to be admired and

POLITICAL ADVERTISING PAYS.
TDayenport Times1

Does political advertising pay? Does
the appeal to the voters made in dis
play advertisements produce any real
effect? Do candidates who buy legiti-
mate newspaper publicity get value re-
ceived as does the merchant who ad-
vertises bargains? 1t Is probable can
didates have asked themselves that
series OF questions more than once and
have been skeptical concerning their
own conclusions.

election there was demonstra-

bought newspaper space and appealed
to the voters Of the county not to for
get TO mark their ballots for judges.
The result was that in Scott county 50
per cent OF the voters cast ballots for
judges.
But someone will say. Whats 80
per cent? With all your publicity only
half OF the voters marked their bal
lots for judges. Surely that Is nothing
to brag about" Let us see. The vote
for judges of the supreme court taking
the state as a whole, amounted to only
about 20 per cent OF the vote cast. But
in Scott county the vote was 30 per
cent higher than this average. This
30 per cent increase here was directly
due to the appeals made thru the press
by the Scott County Bar Association.

The Iowa school teachers are again
the guests OF the city OF Des Noines.
The attendance Is large and the meet
ings are enthusiastic.
Iowa school conditions are not yet
ideal so far as liberal treatment at the
hands of the rural taxpayers are con-
eerned. but the situation Is improving.
One can not attend q meeting OF
school teachers without being impressed
that they are class OF public servants
who are deeply interested in their work.
They are actuated by no cordial mo-
tives. They are III the work because
they love 1t and find something of per-
manent joy in the reflection that they
are helping to strengthen the youthful
mind. to develop youthful character
and to lay solid foundations for sue
cessful and honorable manhood and
womanhood.

Direct marketing will never take the

trade which has the skill for handling

ing the capital and shouldering the
risk. Sometimes the grower and con-
sumner may deal together and in an In
stance here and there. there will be a
small saving. There is plenty Of room
for the extension Of such dealing both
for the consumer and producer, but
government paternalism can not
supersede business experience.
The rules OF the grain exchanges
may well be used as model. Both

remembered that while tho farmer -
