Too Many Newspapers.

Davenport Democrat: Dave Brant's
announcement that the Iowa City Re-
publican will be discontinued as a
daily newspaper and published as q
weekly, in order that a better paper
may be sent over a larger territory
than an Iowa City daily could cover,
calls attention to the journalistic con-
gestion from which Iowa City has
suffered for some time.
Iowa City has had three daily
newspapers all edited by talented
men, known beyond their city for
their personalities and for their in
fluence as editors and in politics and
business as well. Mr. Brant Of the
Republican, Mr.. Johnston Of the
Citizen, Mr.. Carroll Of the Press. are
a trio of active newspaper publish
ers such as few cities Of the size OF
Iowa City possess.
There have also been two or three
student papers, which latterly have
blossomed out as dailies, SO dividing
the field that it was impossible for
any Of the Iowa City publishers to
put out big newsy papers without
doing so at loss.
The change the Republican Is max
ing will help clear up the situation.
Fewer papers means better papers,
in any town where there have been
too many, as there have been at Iowa
City Mr.. Brant's experiment will be
watched with interest.

SHIPPING BILL FOLLY.

The folly of the administration in urging
the enactment of a bill providing for govern
ment ownership and operation OF merchant yes
sells is emphasized by conditions In the ship
building and shipping industries There is I'M
precedented activity in the yards, where are
building or under contract three hundred and
sixty-eight vessels The number of ships fly
ing the American flag is more than twice as
large as it was at the beginning OF the war.
United States yards have had more orders than
thew could fill. and while the war lasts the de-
mand upon their facilities is not likely to be
less than it is today. Private companies have
done their best to meet conditions created by
the withdrawal from the trade routes OF many
vessels needed for military purposes. Had the
administration plan been carried out, the gov
eminent could have done no more than was
accomplished by private enterprise, for United
States shipbuilding plants were working at
capacity The scarcity of vessels caused rise
in rates. and enormous profits have been made
in the shipping industry, but the situation will
change as soon as the war is over. Then the
supply of ships will be equal to the demand. In
fact, competent authority finds reasons for
believing that the value of old vessels that
were brought upon the market a few months
ago has already begun to decline. The national
government would make losing investment
prices The shipping bill should be withdrawn,
or amended so as to meet the views of experts
in the business of ocean transportation, but the
administration seems bound to repeat the blum
der made when it approved the seamen's act

BEGGARLY RECOGNITION.

The United States senate, with a smallness
that ill becomes such body and inconceivable
to the great mass of American citizens, has
blocked the efforts of the house to enact either
q measure making the pay Of militiamen thirty
dollars per month or one paying families OF
soldiers fifty dollars per month during war.
The chief objection raised is that to do SO would
be to call mercenaries instead of patriots to the
colors.
This is decidedly cheap position for men
who are willing to do their patriotic duty In
the senate for seven thousand, five hundred
dollars per year. The senator's have put the
government in the position of being so penur-
ious that it is willing to ask men to leave their
homes and business attachments for mere pit
lance and offer their lives for their country, IN
some cases leaving their families In want, while
they face death in the trenches. For shame!

A TRUE FRIEND or IRELAND.

] Ireland has many false friends, but she has
few friends SO true to her under all conditions
that their efforts are sufficient to counterbal-
ance the injury done to the Green Isle by evil
doors. OF these sincere friends Of a land whose
sorrows have won for her sympathy wherever
there are generous hearts, one of the most I'M
selfish is Lady Aberdeen For years this great
minded woman's husband was the British VICE
roy in Ireland. Although she no longer oc-
cupies the responsible position she held then,
her interest in the country is as deep as ever.
During the recent rebellion in Ireland the
Woman's National Health association with
which Lady Aberdeen is connected relieved
those who were hurt or wounded. In a report
sent by her to John d. Crimmins, chairman OF
the American auxiliary branch Of the associa-
ton, she informs him that the superintendent
of one of the mothers clubs in Dublin organized
relief for those in need, and she states that the
secretary of the Dublin Red Cross turned her
office over to the authorities for use as an
emergency hospital.
The minutest details of the sufferings of the
Irish poor are matters of profoundest concern
to Lady Aberdeen It appears from her letter
that the price Of food in Dublin is now very
high and that of milk almost prohibitive for
poor people.
What Ireland's soul needs, according to Lady
Aberdeen, is the services of nurses and social
workers in whom the poor can have confidence.
The Irish people, like all others, have faults, but
this true friend of theirs is right when she de
clares that in their character the spiritual
over the material. A new and
happy Ireland will rise when that country
learns the lesson that industry, loyalty and con-
tentment are better for her people than i'm
rebellion and irreconcilability.
