Strong Speech at Council Bluffs.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Nov. BIN his address
before the Republican Club at Council
Bluffs last evening Attorney General
Cosson spoke for a sane but fearless
enforcement of the law, came out in
favor of home rule for cities, temper
ance, good roads and consolidated
schools He said the present loan
shark law was faulty and should be re-
pealed or modified. He denounced free
trade, said President Wilson was the
most partisan president since Andrew
Jackson and commended the candidacy
of Senator Cummlns for president. On
the question of good roads General
'Cosson said:
II believe the time has arrived when
we should look forward and not back.
believe that good roads are INSOFAR
ably connected with good schools and
rural community life. Good roads will
be saving not only of time but OF
animals and money as well, and by
good roads mean any road which may
be travelled 365 days in the year.
Il believe there must be some better
method of road maintenance-prefer-
ably the patrol system. l believe the
people are entitled to a referendum to
the privilege Of financing road improve
ments according to the most econom-
ical and best business methods. In a
variety of public improvements pro-
vision is made for distributing the cost
over period of time SO that the tax
burden will not be unnecessarily heavy
in any one year. The large Increase
in the number of automobiles will make
the automobile license a tremendous
factor for more substantial road i'm
provement if applied to this end.
Main Roads First.
II believe in putting the emphasis
upon local serviceable roads leading to
market towns rather than cross coun-
try roads altho both in time will fol-
low. therefore believe it is better to
provide an extensive system of good
country roads rather than a limited
of high priced roads; in any
event, 1 believe local communities
should have the right to decide both
the character of the road and the meth

near the Boone county line, just north
east of Perry, have completed another
stretch of graveled road. They made
something of record in the compile

days to make finished highway
which will soon be as good as any in
the state The road graveled extends
from the north part of the Alfred
Moore place, almost to Beaver creek
bridge and Mr.. Moore is busy putting
the finishing touches on the stretch
with road drag. This action of the
hustling farmers is greatly appreciated
and others retIikely to follow suit.

NAVY NOT STARVED
Congress Has Been Liberal With
 Appropriations.
Figures Show That Republican Ad, ministrations Squandered Money Designed for the UpbuiIdins
 of the country's Fleets.

Our neighbor the Sun has joined with the World in expressing healthy curiosity to know what has become of all the immense sums of money that the American people have spent on the navy during the past 16 years.
 The World has repeatedly called at- tention to the disconcerting fact that our naval expenditures exceed those of Germany and Austria combined, yet Admiral Fiske has testified that it would take five years to get the Ameri- can navy into a state of efficiency equal to that of the German navy.
 The Sun has taken the trouble to compile the naval appropriations of the United States and Germany for the last 16 years. It finds that the total appropriations for the American navy during that time aggregate $1,- 645,000,186. The total appropriations for the German navy during these 16 years are only $1,237 1915, ,960. Since the Spanish-American war the Ameri- can people have spent $400,000,000 more on their navy than the Germans have spent, and now we are told by naval experts that our navy is inferior in all respects to the German navy.
 It is plain that congress has not starved the navy. No other navy, ex- cept the British, has received such generous appropriations. It is equally plain that the American people have not had a dollars worth of navy for a dollars worth of expenditure.
 The present controversy gets us mo- where-the clamor for four battle ships in place of two, the unstinted abuse of Secretary Daniels and the at- tempt to play party politics with the national defense. The secret of our naval inferiority is obviously in its or ganization, and until that is remedied there will be no remedy.
 For years the army organization was notoriously anticipated. Nothing was done about it until it broke down dur ing the Spanish-American war and the whole country screamed for victim, (which it found in Secretary Alger. Then Elihu Root was allowed to frame bill that gave the country a modern army organization. Must we wait un- til the navy has broken down in time of national peril to secure similar leg islation recognizing the navy?-New York World

ELABORATE TOYS FOR CHILD
Interesting Article in Magazine on the Medieval Boy-PIaythings Met
 With Same Treatment.

In these days of elaborate toys for children it is interesting to read in Blackwood's Magazine, in an article on the Medieval Boy." by L. F. Calz- mann, of a present "of a little gayly painted cross-bow' to Alphonso, son of Edward l.
 ''Alphonsos elder brother Henry" continues the article, was given a lit tie cart, costing seven pence, to play with, and also a model of a blow, which cost four pence. Even allowing for the difference in the value and purchasing power of money at that time, the four pence being equivalent to something like five shillings, the expense of the toys used in the royal nursery compares favorably with the cost of those expected by the ordinary modern child, as any Christmas-ridden father or conscientious uncle will ad- init.
 That the toys were strongly made we may assume, but it is clear that they met with much the same treat ment then as now, for it was not long before Prince Henry's cart was broken and required mending, at cost of two pence. His mug also had to be re- paired and regilded.'

The Censor.

The Washington Star relates that Mayer Baker of Cleveland, in defense of political movement that had been attacked, said the other day:
 It's an honest movement and 8 straightforward movement, and they who attack it are as censorious as the Seabright old maid.
 "A Seabright old maid was talking to a sunburned college boy on the beach. A pretty girl passed and the old maid said:
 There goes Minnie Summers. You took hef to the hop last evening, didn't your
 "'Yes,' said the college boy, and he added politely: As was taking leave of Miss Summers after the hop it dawned upon me-"
 It dawned!' said the old maid. You kept her out till dawn! That's what these new dances lead up to!'"

The National Defense.

The report of the secretary of war furnishes a needed commentary on that part of the presidents address dealing with the question of national defense. Since it is inconceivable that Secretary Garrison is in conflict with his chief, it follows that his. rec concentrations accord with the presi dents estimate of the country's needs.
 Those recommendations are singu. larly close to the reforms on which the Journal has insisted as necessary to national safety. Three corps-120,- 900 men-in the regular army, the rapid formation of trained reserve, the addition of 1000 officers to the present force at the earliest possible moment-every thinking man must agree that this is a modest program for a rich and isolated nation of 100,- 000,000 people. .- ... .s.
 Best of all, the secretary's report takes the question of national defense out of the hands of partisan jingoes whose clamor would have disgusted the American people and made ration al reform impossible.-Chicag Jour. nal.
