WHAT UNFAIR BUSINESS ORGANI-
CATIONS MAY EXPECT.

It is quite proper, as well as bene-
fetal, for those engaged in the several
different industries to form societies
for the consideration of methods best
calculated to increase the efficiency,
of the line in which they are engaged.
But such societies are counting danger
when they scheme to overreach tn.
public by limiting production and in
other ways doubling or trembling the
price of their products.
The public is long suffering, but
when once aroused it is inclined to
use it's giant powers for the destruc-
,tion of all that is productive of in
justice and wrong.
The state can engage in any bust
ness considered necessary for the pro-
lection of it's citizens.
The trespassing associations are not
face to face with this problem in Iowa
at the present time, but ere long they
will be unless Aadical changes are
made.
What will the mills and factories of
the print paper combine be worth,
after the public and cooperative com
panies engage in the manufacture Of
print paper? What would tine fire
insurance business of the State of
Iowa be worth to private insurance
companies after the State had decided
to insure it's own citizens against fire
losses?
The rating bureau joker in our pres
ent insurance law is fastening a rad
ical change of some kind.
State competition for unfair bust
ness is headed this way. It's advance
agents are already here.

QUIZ JOHN +! ADAMS BONE OF
= ls'ited# CONTENTION. j

Z (From the Waterloo Times -TribuneD
This thing about great minds run
ming in the same direction lack proof
when politics is considered. The re-
publicans and progressives are in
mind to get together, but their minds
run contrariwise when it comes to ar
ranging the details.
New York is the scene where plans
were to be consummated to bring all
elements in opposition to the demo-
cratic party in close relation. But
they left George W. Perkins out of
consideration! All, there's the rub.
Mr.. Perkins was invited to attend a
kind of harmony dinner. But he
wasn't there. He sent word that in
stead of joining together of the
forces in opposition to the republi-
can party, the "old guard" has SO
Unanswered as to be in absolute con7
troll. Strange, but Mr.. Perkins defends
Chairman Wilcox. He believes that
Wilcox is trying, to reorganize the re-
publican party, giving the progressives
due consideration, but that Wilcox has
been "double-crossed" by the "old.
guard" led by Mr.. Hemenway, of In
diana. AS proof he cites that John T.
Adams, of Iowa, has been made vice.
chairman and declares that the vice.
chairman is to do the work of the
chairman. John T.. is an "old guard"
and his work, as vice-chairman, &C
cording to Perkins, Is to prevent
Chairman Wilcox from Undertaking"
the party.
George w. is supported in his con-
tention by Everett Colby, and by no
less progressive than T. Roosevelt
who sends word: II heartily approve
of what Messrs. Perkins and Colby
have DONE think they have rend.
cred a great service to the American
people and the republican party"
If the executive committee haG
placed George w. Perkins in the stu
] alton of ce-chairman instead of Johr
n. Adams, of Iowa, why, then every
E thing would have been rosy. How

THE THREE CONDITIONS.
(From the Chicago Herald.)

j.
In his note to the belligerents Pres
ident Wilson suggested a possible par
ity in their aims. Whereupon the al
lies fastened to disclaim it. Most Of
their reply was devoted to removing
any impression to that effect that
might exist in America.
Now the British return the compli-
ment. Foreign Minister Balfour's
latest statement names three cendi-
lions for a permanent peace, briefly:
Territorial readjustment, breaking
Germany's militaristic cult, and a
league to give ''pause to the hardest
aggressor." 1t also expresses the be-
lief that these conditions "are in gen.
eral harmony with the Presidents
IDEAS"
If the President pursues the matter
further and takes official notice of this
note he can hardly overlook this sug-
gested parity. The allies had no diff
ficulty whatever in repudiating the
similarity of sentiment and aims sug-
gested. In view Of his position, Pres
ident Wilson will find his diplomacy
tasked to the utmost If he attempts
to deal specifically with the three
conditions. s,g94. qaq
Should France get Alsace-Lorraine
or not? Should Italy secure Italia ir-
redenta or not? Should the Turk be
supported in Europe or expelled?
Should the claims Of races and lit
tie nations be given prime considera-
ton in remaking the map Of Europe?
What is the extent bf the danger in
Prussian militarism and is it best for
the worlds peace that the militar-
istic spirit be curbed and discredft-
ed? All these delicate questions are
essentially involved in the first two
conditions and cannot be evaded in
any discussion of them
Z What is more, they are conditions
precedent to the third-a league to
restrain the nation bent on conquest or
aggression. Whatever anyone else
may think OF it, the allies believe the
existence Of league to prevent war
conditioned on the success of the al
lies. They are willing to drain the
last drop of blood from each national
reservoir to secure that end. With
German militarism and might surviv-
ing unimpaired, they see merely on
armed truce. President Wilson can
hardly accept or deny the conclusion
without paying specific attention to
the premises on which it is based.
The British note Is thus a shrevd
diplomatic document. It does not
close the door to peace by any Means
But it tends to force further disG:s-
sion OF it by the administration III

ally prefers to avoid. 1t boldly. even
If automatically, challenges the Pres.
ident to be as frank with regard tc
the suggested harmony" OF views as
the allies were with the possible fari'
ty of aims.
Moreover, it is another strong ap
peal to public opinion in America. I
re-enforces the allied declaration o.
the terms on which they Were wiiljal

SEA POWER AND HISTORY.

Admiral Mahan's theory of national
dominance and security was based
purely on sea power ItsedmitAe4 no
vaSi6A 4 Nations rose and iii as they
developed or neglected their navies.
Mahan's theory was precise formu-
la, which he could demonstrate.
Carthage was greater military
power than Rome and imposed itself
upon Rome, but the Romans held the
MEDITERRANEAN and Hannibal's direct
line Of communication from Africa.
Carthage as destroyed by Roman ships
not by the Roman legions.
Spain lost its sea power and lost
it's empire. The Italian republics main
tanned themselves on the sea. When
ever Great Britain neglected it's navy
it's power diminished France allowed
its ships to rot and lost it's empire.
Holland built against Great Britain
and nearly wrecked the British power.
Mahan's theory was that nation
goes ahead on ships and not on foot.
There are variants, but a nation which
maintained itself as a progressing or
gInization and did not maintain it.
self at sea is not to be found. Sparta
an army power, defeated Athens, a
navy power, but that was an episode.
This war is sustaining Mahan's the
DRY. Germany has been victorious
with her armies. She may be un-
cQnquerable by land forces. The
British navy may be the force which
will destroy Germany, even as the
Roman navy was the force, which de.
stroyed Carthage.
The immediate cause Of the wal
was rather more the German nav
than anything to be found in Serbia
or Belgium. Great Britain could no
and would not submit to the building
of navy which might equal her owl
