short time for such an accomplish

Which, then, are effective and which
the ineffective nations, measured by
this standard? AS Mr.. Finlay sees
them:
1T is a fact not generally recogniz
ed that today there are only three
nations in which mechanical indus
try is widespread, namely the Unit
ed States, the British empire and Ger
many. 1t is not fair, Of course, to say
that industry has not been developed
in other countries, but these nations
are so far ahead of any rivals that
they are very distinctly in class by
themselves. These three nations pro-
duce 80 per cent of the coal of the
world, and undoubtedly operate 80
per cent of it's machinery. 1t Is a re-
markable fact 1t may be an acct
dent, but 1t is a fact-that all of these
nations are predominantly Teutonic.

of men happened to gain possession
of the more important territories that
contained coal; but whether an acct
dent or not, it makes no difference as
to the developments that have come
from it. 1t happens that one OF these
nations is the most highly developed
military nation in the other world.
The other two, while developed indus
trially quite as highly as Germany,
happen to be about the least military
nations in the world. In my judgment,
the unmilitariness of England and the
United States is due to one cause.
only, namely, their Isolation, their
freedom from enemies capable of cas-
lily attacking them. If these nations
felt compelled to do so, they could
develop enormous military powers;
but we may believe also, from our
available sources of reasoning that
the development of such military pow
er will take a long time and can be

litical and social organization on
terms of military efficiency"
We have no room here for the elab-
crate tables of statistics with which
Mr.. Finlay supports his argument; but
his contention is that Industrial ener-
gy, which he believes will prove the
decisive factor in the present strug-
gle, may fairly be represented by the
use and production bring out the facts
he thinks, that the Allies are not only
no match for Germany in the produc-
tionof war munitions, but are also
deficient in capacity for organizing
and utilizing equipment In fact, mil
| itary success arises from the same
kind of development as industrial sue
cess. AS Mr.. Finlay thinks chat
perhaps we can pat ourselves on the
back as the greatest Industrial ma
tion," this conclusion of his is not
without interest for the American pat
riot.-Literary Digest.

THINK ABOUT 1T
Twin Falls Commercial Club

The Times believes that the people
who want the rim-to-rim bridge and
those who desire the grade bridge at
Murtaugh have reached a point where
nothing can be accomplished unless
each faction is willing to compromise.
The Times believes that both bridges
can and should be built There should
be no controversy between the sup
porters of the two sites, Nor should
the two conflict in any way if both
will take broad view of the matter
and use reason instead of prejudice.
There are a number of people who are
not interested in the bridges in any
way who are for politics mixing trou-
BILE for both. They should give the
strong intimation to keep their fingers
out of the pie
The dissolution of the Hillsdale
highway district and the voting Of
bonds for special purpose of bridge
building looks like the best way out of
the mess, but each faction should be
willing to let past scores go and work
together. The same Is true of the two
factions on this side of the river AS
long as each gets its contention, the
rivalry and bitterness should be drop
ped. The Hansen, Murtaugh and Hills
dale bridge supporters can count on
the loyalty of Twin Falls city to boost
for the two bridges once they know
that the warning factions have patched
up the difficulties.

INDUSTRIAL ENERGY AS A MILL
TARY WEAPON

TARY WEAPON
Why has Germany, with only the
aid of her feeble Austrian ally, been
able so far to withstand the rest Of
Europe? According to j. r. Finlay,
in an address before the Mining and
Metallurgical Society of America,
printed in it's bulletin No. Sc New
York;, she is twenty years ahead of
the average of her opponents in the
use of machinery. She has greater
industrial energy" and it has proved
a mighty military weapon. Mr.. Fin
lay illustrates his point by an ingen-
ious and convincing argument. He
supposes that the States of the Union
should once more engage in civil war,
and that Illinois, Indiana, Michigan,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Con-
necticut and New Jersey should form
a combination to resist the rest, with
Canada thrown in. He says:
Suppose for full measure we trhow
in Mexico and South America as OPP
ponents of this bit of territory. We
would then have population of 49,
900, 900 in territory of 2S5,OO0 square
miles fighting population of 5O,OOO,-
900 occupying a territory of 10000
900 square miles. Which would be
likely to win? | may be foolish, but
it seems to me that the group of
States between New York and Chicago
would probably win decisively. Why?
Because in that area, producing Is
per cent of the coal and making 81
per cent of the iron of the country,
here is almost a monopoly of the or
ganized manufacturing and engineer
ing energy of the western hemisphere.
The area contains practically all the
plants capable of manufacturing arms
munitions and special devices. In

MEETING Of BRAZOS
COUNTY OAIRYMEN
Organization viii Be Formed to
Further the Interests Of Dairy.
men in Brazos County.

A representative group Of Brazos
County dairymen met Monday morn.
ing in the Office OF County Demonstra.
ton Agent Buchanan in the CONNER.
cial Club rooms to discuss the feast
bility of forming a county organiza-
ton. The consensus of opinion of
those present was that an association
similar TO the one In Waukesha. Wis,
should be organized. This Wisconsin
association was organized only q few
years ago. Beside the social adyan-
tages II has gotten remarkable results
in the cooperative buying Of feeds and
in the selling Of dairy products and
livestock. This association has spe.
cialized on Guernsey cattle. adyertis-
ing Waukesha County, Wisconsin, as
the Guernsey capital of America. As
a result they are able to make private
sales at very remunerative prices.
Their annual auction sale OF purebred
cattle is attended by dairymen from
everywhere and the prices received
are much above the average. The Bra
EOS County organization will probably
cooperate in the buying and selling
of feed and dairy products and will
advertise Brazos County as a place
where the best dairy cattle can be
bought.
Those in attendance were Guy Bit
tie, A. W. Kinnard, /, NJ. Candy, J. VI.
Caldwell d. c. de Maret Wayne
Davis, r. NJ Nall A. W. Buchanan and
c. NJ. Evans. c. VI. Evans was select.
ed as temporary chairman, and com
mittee composed of J. NJ. Caldwell,
L. VI. Candy and c. VI. Evans was
selected to draw up a constitution and
bylaws.
A general meeting of all interested
in dairy cattle is called for next Mon
day. February s, at 1890 a. m, to
meet at the Commercial Club rooms
to complete organization At that
meeting DR.. Marsteller of the college
veterinary department will be invited
to discuss contagious abortion in dairy
cows. Prof. Ridgway, who is head of
the college dairy department and sec.
rotary of Texas Dairymen's Associa.
ton, will also be invited to attend.

THE DAIRY.

lnasmuch as there is a movement
on foot for enlarging the dairy pro.
ducts OF Brazos County, the following
suggestion from Home and Farm is
timely and will prove helpful to all
who go into the business or who are
already in IT,
The modern dairy Is a very differ
ent thing from the dairy of the old
time. and to get the last cent Of profit
out Of your labor, out Of your COW, you
must take every precaution for secur
ing the largest quantity Of milk and
for getting from that milk the largest
quantity OF butter and cream.
"One way is to get a separator and
then learn how to use the separator.
Then you must study the food prob
lem. You must keep an account with
every COW. If you have three or FIVE
or ten, do not average the production
Of milk Keep a separate account
with each COW and find out whether
each COW is producing enough to JUS
tify you in feeding It and caring for It.
This is the foundation of success in
the dairy"

FoRD's RELIGION.

Following the twentieth annual
meeting OF the New York Federation
OF Churches many Of the clergymen
criticised the religious views express.
ed by Henry Ford, the Detroit auto.
mobile manufacturer. Mr. Ford said:

road.
my religion is that II we treat our

then. Do you reporters go? The last

stolen.

to pray, can get along without that.
II does some folks some good at times,
though.
1T anybody ever goes to heaven, he
will take his heaven with him. II he
goes to hell, he will take that along"
The Rev. Wallace Laidlaw, pastor
Of the Broadway Tabernacle, sharply
criticised the Ford view.
Justice is not enough said Mr..
Laidlaw. we must have mercy. too.
That Is only righteousness. Ford does
not know whether his automobile was
stolen by a churchman. When Mr..
McAdoo was police commissioner OF
New York he said there were not
enough policemen on the planet TO
keep New York in order. ! fancy.
however, that II the churches did not
exist, the demand for Ford's automo.

would be s25.OOO,OOO to the bad next
year. Everybody's automobile would
be stolen then"

SLOW PROGRESS.

We moderns need to be confronted
with the ancient laws OF the Baby
lonians In order that we may know
how little progress has been made in
some lines in the past 1000 years. A
tablet now being deciphered at Yale
University discloses laws concenins
injury to women, what should be done
to clipping couples, how to punish the
reputation OF adopted children. what
to pay for hired goats and cattle, and
the satisfaction that should be given
for the killing OF a borrowed OK.
With all'the teachings of forty cen.
turtles of religions OF various sorts the
human race is yet clipping with it's
neighbor's wife, is still abusing orphan
children committed to its care, is still
treating women as unequal, and would
forget the property rights of others
II not reminded by the law. And some
of these moral uplifters expect to
have the whole world lacked up by
he middle of next week, at the out.
side.-Fort Worth Record.
The deciphering OF this tablet has
not yet been completed and it is con.
tdently expected before the end of
the table of laws is reached, Governor
Jim's third and fourth land rent plank

preservation.

Special to Times Republican.
Grinnell, Nov. S.-Two persons we're
injured. one seriously. Sunday eve
ming as the result OF reckless driving
of an automobile on a public highway.
The occupants OF the speeding car have
not been definitely identified but the
matter is being investigated and ar
rests are likely.
While Harry Horn, OF Chester. wes
driving home from Grinnell about dusk
a tire on his car blew up. In the car
with him were his wife and two chill
dren and his brother-in in-law. A stop
was made to repair the damage. ana
as the work wos proceeding another
car whizzed by. just grazing tho Horn
machine, and striking both Mr. anaI
Mrs. Horn, who were standing In the
roadway. Mr.. Horn was run over and
seriously hurt. He suffered n deep
scalp wound and his right leg was
broken below the knee, the bone being
ground to a pulp. Mrs. Horn was
severely bruised but no bones were
brogen. Others Of the party were not
hurt.
No warning was given by the driver
OF the approaching car and there was
plenty of passing room on the high
way. The driver did not stop to care
for the injured. but left the scene at
high speed. The injured were brought
to the home OF Mr.. Horns father In
this city and cared for.
The car which caused the injuries
