AN EFFICIENT OFFICIAL.

John f. Ramer, secretary of state
has at last consented to be candi-
date for reelection. This is one of
the most exacting state offices with
ing the gift of the people-one that
requires big man with big capa-
city, and even Mr.. Ramer's political
opponents will admit that he has been
the most efficient secretary the state
has enjoyed in its history. Re-nomina-
ton means reelection, because
linked with his efficiency in office is
. strong personality that means
friends whenever he comes in con-
act with the people. There is little
loubt but that the Republicans will
recognize his true worth and he will
receive the nomination with little, if
any, opposition.

When John Barrett, director of the
Pan-American union, warned the Des
MONIES business men the other even
ing that a critical test of the Mon
roe doctrine is apt to follow the
European war, he Indicated in a gen
eral way that the combined strength
of the United States and the South
American republics, if they could be
brought together, is not enough to re
pei invasion. Mr.. Barrett said:
Iowa must grasp the fact that the
very life and integrity of this great
nation may depend upon preserving
the integrity of each and all of the
Latin American republics against
conquest at the hands of an European
and Asiatic foe"
Statistics on the preparedness of
the Pan American countries show that
the United States is the best prepar-
ed on land, altho closely pushed by
Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay. On

WANT SUGAR FACTORY.

San Juan needs, more than anything
else just now, sugar factory. We
have the soil and the climate for the
growing of the beets. That fact has
been proven. 1t is no experiment
here. 1t is only a matter of secur-
ing factory for turning the beets
into sugar.
The factory at Monte Vista is to be
taken from that point. 1t has been
reported that it would go to some
point in Wyoming or Montana. The
San Juan people would like to have
that factory moved down here.
The Exchange has had the matter
under consideration for some time
and it is hoped that when that fac
tory is moved it will be brought down
here where it will pay from the very
beginning. Just what Inducement,
are necessary for the bringing of il
here are not yet known, but from the
very fact that we have such an adj
inirable climate and all other condi
tons necessary for the development
of the beet sugar interests in this
section. we feel that those who are
interested in the factory at Mont,
Vista should make arrangements t.
have the factory put into operation
in this section.
Owing to the altitude and the colo
winds in the spring time, it was fount
that sugar beets did not thrive as

HISTORIC CRY OF vERDUN.

The present siege of the strong
fortresses protecting the city of Yer
dun is attracting the interest of the
civilized world.
1Aig Historic city with eleven of
the strongest Notifications in the
world today--is in the valley of the
River Mouse, some 80 miles west of
the city Of Metz and about $50 miles,
Just little north of east OF Paris.
This city is of interest to the Ger
mans, the French and the reading
world for several reasons. First of
all it is important to the French
since it is the, strongest fortified city
in France pad once the French lose
it to the Germans they realize that
an opportunity is offered the Ger
man afmy for direct drive at Paris.
lis of interest to the Germans since
they have found that it is impossible
to reach Paris by the northern route.
With the demolition of these eleven
forts and the capture of the city of
Verdun the Germans hope to demon
alize the French army and people and
thus weaken them for further defen-
sive purposes.
Many believe that should the Ger
mans capture Verdun that the result
would be fatal to the French cause
and would mean the capture of Paris
sooner or later. When IL is remem-
bered that Paris is $50 miles from
Verdun it is not so easy to under
stand why the capture Of this strong
ly fortified city should necessarily
imperil the republic Of France. The
German army has been much nearer
to Paris than is Verdun. In fact,
the army of the Marine is nearer Par
is than is the army before the Yer
dun fortresses. However, this may
be, it will certainly be big achieve
ment for the Teutonic forces if Yer
dun falls into their hands.
'fs Should the forces of France with
stand the awful onslaughts of the
attacking forces it will prove to be
a hard blow on Germany, inasmuch
as many thousands of men who
charged against those fortresses will
never charge another fortress. They
were left dead on the field by the
thousands. OF course, the French
losses are heavy, but the big losses
must necessarily come to the attack
ing forces.
It will be remembered that the Ger
man army attacked Verdun in 1870
and after a most memorable siege Of
six weeks captured the city and held
it until September of 1878.
Verdun is city of $4,000 popula-
ton and is the center of one of the
wealthiest districts of France and
not far from the German frontier
These reasons, beside the fact that
it lies in direct route from Ger
many to Paris, explain why the city is
80 well protected, and defended.
The cound of the 42-centimeter
gums that are hurting shot and shell
against these fortresses may be heard
