 The editorial is a masterpiece of miscomprehension of the defense prob

 thoritative critics that our defenses are inadequate. On the contrary, these critics constantly emphasize this fact. ami the relevant argument based on the fact is that we ought to get more
 than we do for the money we spend. We can get this more by taking a course exactly opposite to that or the Register and Leader-by listening to experts and not to political editors in or out of office.

Neither meets nor apparent Is based on an attempt to understand the specific criticisms brought by the navy league and other critics of our con ditions of naval defense. To these critics and to the country it is im- material whether the Wilson admins traitor has done more for prepared ness than its predecessors. These critics know no politics in their pro- paganda: they realize better than most politicians that there has been on partisan distinction in ithe neg feet and mishandling of our navy and army affairs The Republican party, in fact. has more to answer fer on this score than the Democratic be cause it has had more years of power and opportunity.
 But there is no excuse at this stage of the public discussion on national defense for an utterance in a respon sible newspaper as loose in its ale gation of fact and in it's reasoning as is the Register and Leader edi- torial The first nisstatement is gross. and il is in the opening para graph. which aserts that in view of the fact that more than half of the total revenues of the country are used for the army and navy and things incidental to the maintenance of the military establishment. il should go without saying that there must be something to show for more than s600, 0OO.00O a year American money"

An Iowa reader incloses a clipping from The Tribune giving Admiral Fiskes criticism of our naval prepara- ton and a long editorial from the Des A:oines Register and Leader quot ing eopiously from Secretary Daniels
 He asks. How is the uninitiated to

 Authorities do not differ so widely.
 Secretary Daniels is not an authority
 on the navy He is the editor of q southern newspaper who holds po-
 litical job for political reasons. and

RIVERSIDE POOL ALL RIGHT

 To the Editor of the Republican, Sir:-In the current issue of Dun bars Weekly appeared an editorial suggesting that the city health of ficers investigate conditions at River side Park, particularly in reference to the swimming pool. A number of people have suggested to us recent ly that some of the local typhoid cases might be traceable to the RiV- erside natatorium. We believed there might be some truth in the sug- gestion and were of the opinion that conditions should be investigated. However since the appearance of the editorial in question we have been informed by Dr. Godfrey, the city health officer that he has made q complete and thorough examina- ton of the Riverside pool and that he finds it perfectly clean and san itary. We have no desire to injure Riverside Park and as an act of justice feel that this explanation should be published without delay.

THE CLERKS CONDITION.

1E CLERKS CONDITION. is
there condition more miserable
than that of the cheap clerk? In
early life he learns to spell, to read,
to write and perhaps keep books, but
this only if he is ambitious. Here his
education ends. He falls into what
ever place he can get and then he
begins life in which there is no
hope of preferment and no endeavor
after better things.
There are, in every civilized coun-
try, thousands and thousands of
these people, helpless and hopeless
creatures. They mostly suffer in ST.
lence, being at the best ill-fed and
ill-paid, but they sometimes utter a
feeble moan, when one of them can
be found with vitality enough, about
their pay and prospects.
No one has yet told them the hon.
est truth that they are already paid
as much as they deserve; that their
miserable accomplishments cannot
for a moment be compared with the
skill of an artisan; that they are self
condemned because they make no
effort. They have not even the en-
ergy to organize; they have not the
sense of self-protection; they are.

LOVE AND CALCULATION. - A
mother does not wish anything but
well of her boy She does not talk
SANDER at her boys back, but she
helps him all she can.
- She has a positive, first-hand or CO.
operative love for him. Did you no
tice the bright, lovely eyes of young
boy not yet robbed of his mothers
love.
There is another kind of love
negative. One entertaining negative
love does not let his best feelings and
thoughts loose on the object, but
loves only as long as his own feel
ings and thoughts can be hidden
away from the object. When the
boy grows a little older and goes out
to do things for himself, then the
boy generally becomes the object of
negative or false love, and his eyes
accordingly get calculating express
sion.
Now l might stop here and let the
reader put on his own thinking cap
the best he can, but, expressing my
own observation, will say that the
boy and girl are fortunate to- have
parents who have cooperative love
for each other, and those people who
practice and receive this kind of love
can easily be distinguished by their
chubby, well-formed bodies and face
features and by their lovely eyes. But
even this best love won't last with
out giving it expression in speech
and deeds.-NiIs E. Larson.
