by many manufacturers in obtaining

4 CALAMITY LESSON.

The vital Importance of a competent
lire protective system is illustrated in
the case Of Phoenix, manufacturing
suburb Of Syracuse, n. Y, That small
er city suffered a loss of 81 900. 900 in a
fifteen hour fire that practically wiped
it and its industries out Few losers
had fire insurance. one firm suffering
a loss of $4,000 had but $4,000. The
reason lay in scanr and incompetent
fire protection which led underwriters
to set rate practically pruhjbitiye. So
Her industries are destroyed and her
citizens. most of whom were employees
Of the different industries. are idle al
a loss in wages of perhaps $4,000 a
day. Some of the mills will not be re-
built Some of the factories will be re-
built elsewhere. The town .e flat be-
cause it neglected a common precau-
ticn against an insistent danger
No doubt taxpayers protested against
cASCiluituIe 1Oi lie projection LOT TlCIl
factories Some taxpayers make such
protests wherever and whenever such
expenditures are proposed. They are
paying taxes now in depreciation Of
mir property. Perhaps Phoenix might
have had as disastrous a hre even with
good fire proteetion-such fires do
sweep cities-but Phoenix would be
rebuilding today with insurance money
instead of sitting dlsconsolate in ashes.
Why is calamity necessary to teach
common sense lesson?
The town, big or little that lacks
reasonable fire protection is bidding
for calamity and loss. 1t is a wise
town that learns from the calamity "a
others without awaiting practical
lesson Of its own.

WATER.

Water is mild. wet beverage which
is used to lubricate man. Some men
need lubrlcating more than others,
and at times are compelled to fall

Water can be applied either inter-
nally or externally without injuring
anybody. but most people prefer to
swallow It In rapturous gulps. With
so much water in the world it would

WILSON'S STAGE MONEY

President Wilson thinks he has ac-
conplished wonders in the direction IT

about the federal reserve banking sys-
tenn which originated with the late
Senator Aldrich and which is more Of
a republican than a democratic meas
ure. But the federal reserve banking
system is on trial. The government
compelled the bankers to put up the
capital stock just as the government
compelled the railroads to serve the
parcels post system without extra pay.

ing system at the present time Is

$50 900 600 with which to buy ships to
be operated by the government or TO
be leased to somebody else to be oper-
ated. Nothing has yet been done. This
is more stage money" The Wilson

MORE ABOUT IOWA APPLES.

Remarking a reference 10 the win
ming Of second premium by Iowa
apples in open competition with more
widely advertised orchard products
in a recent issue of the Times Repub-
lican Mr.. A. A. Moore writes to relate
an experience at the Paris exposition
of 1900 when the treasurer of the ex-
position took him over TO the agricui-
tural building to show him the Iowa
apples which had taken the first
premium for apples. The best apples
in the world" exclams Mr.. Moore.
Think what Oregon. Montana, Wash
ington and California would have done
in the way Of advertising ?"
Iowa has neglected two very i'm
portant items Of agricultural success

ing IS coming in faster than orchard
ing because It arrives naturally and
easily from corn and cattle feeding.
II is the next step. But the time is
10 come and before long when Iowa
orchards will receive the attention
they deserve and Iowa apples bring
millions of money to Iowa.
1t is but the time Of a generation
since 80 per cent of Iowa farms were
titled with the idea that the number OF
acres that could be scratched over in
season meant the larger profit. When

100 acres of corn. Indeed it is scarce

ducton that the automobile business
will be extremely good for 1916. 1917
and 1918, while the year 1919 will prob
ably show a decline. 1890 bringing It
back to about where 1t was in 1916
and 1921 will probably be the largest
year the automobile business has ever

On a basis Of 100000 automobiles;
as the saturation point, 1t would seem
that 1880. 900 to 100000 would be the

considered by many to be the satur-
alton point. There are some that say
that the saturation point will be
reached somewhere between 5000, 900
and 100000, depending on the many
things that might occur which would
be influencing factors during the next
three years, such things as increase OF
wealth, increase OF population. widen

EVIL vs.. pECENCY.

Prof Jesse Macy. noted political
economist in Grinnell College. writes to
the Des Moines Register his reasons
for urging republicans to vote for Mer-
edith on the democratic ticket. He
believes that Meredith represents the
better elements in both parties, while
Harding's election would mean the
triumph Of evil elements in both par
ties. He says: ..-
A distinguishing chara cteristfc of an
Iowa republican is that his party plat
form binds him, in the interest Of his
party, 10 defeat at the election any
unworthy candidate who may chance
TO be nominated. This principle was
adopted forty years ago and il has
many times been reaffirmed. Harding
presents a clear case Of an unworthy
nomination. The evidence against him
is absolutely conclusive. There has
been serious attempt 70 defend him
against his damaging record. He Is 4
convicted enemy OF the republican
party. He has worked hand and glove
with the liquor interests Of the state.
Those who know him best are most
thoroughly convinced that he is an
enemy to that which the party has
stood for. His own pastor, his own
fellow church members. his own col
lege president who has continued to
be his neighbor, al! agree that he ought
to be defeated.
1t Is not simply for his position on
the liquor question that he Is con-
demned. Like objections to his record
come from the leaders Of the state or
ganiZation devoted to the Improvement
Of industrial conditions. In the legis-
lature Harding has stood as a barrier
| to the bills Of the society. Yet at q
recent annual meeting at Sioux City
Harding made himself acquainted with
| the object. of the organization and In
an address before the meeting he posed
as lifelong advocate of their meas
| ures. The address was eminently fitted
to win confidence and support Only
