arc essentially aggressive and that
British sea power must stay because
it is essentially defensive.
Naval power is a weapon, the
most potent In the world as every
great war Of modern times has proven.
Like every other weapon. it can be

extent that 1t shuts in enemy war
ships, 10 aggressive to the extent that
1t shuts in enemy commerce.
It is quite true that the British navy
in modern times has engaged in Often
sive operations only after being forced
into activity as . ma..er of defense.
England has not waged an offensive
war against maritime antagonist in
the memory Of a living man. In this
same period land power has been used
Extensively, as in the case Of Japan
against Russia, and extensively, as in
all Gernany's wars. Land power,
chiefly thru the Psychology Of con-
scription and the rapidity with which
cevisions can be reached. lends itself
more readily to aggression. But sea
power has never lacked land allies, and
never win. whether for defensive war
or offensive.
One main reason for sea powers
dominant position is that it Is invari.
ably associated with economic power.
Only rich nation can compete for sea
supremacy. Only trading nation can
convert its people to the naval policy.
So we find combination that is not

RAISE GRUB NOT GAME.

The Burlington Hawkeye suggests
that raising game birds and animals
should be made profitable business in
Iowa. 1t would have old fashioned
banquets where game is served veni-
son and of course quail and prairie
chickens and even buffalo. 1t says
there is nothing difficult about it and
that game should be grown for mar
ket like pork and mutton.
So far there seems to have been con-
siderable difficulty about it. At least
those who have tried it have not sue
ceeded in emulating John D. and Andy
c. The fact is that there is more
money and better economics in rails
ing pork and mutton and beef roasts
and such like good grub than in try
ing to fool anybody with domesticated
bird which isn't game at all when it
is bred in a barnyard and fed shelled
corn three times day. The test CT
game is it's wildness. That gives the

kNoW.NoIHIHG ROAD TALK.

With the approach Of every session of
the legislature the demagogs who would
get solid with the farmer vote begin
to talk about grading and draining our
roads and taking care OF the roads from
the farm to the market as tho such
roads were entirely separate from
some other set of roads referred to as
thru automobile routes. II our poll
ticians would unload the entire read
problem and dump it onto the backs
of the voters where it belongs they
would. provide for the voting Of county
road bonds such as is done in every
state where roads have ever been sur
faced to any appreciable extent.
County boards of supervisors can
anticipate county road taxes by is
suing county bonds if they hav nerve
enough to build their roads. overdraw
their road fund account and then issue
bonds to cover the deficiency. The
law Is adequate now but It was not
intended for this purpose and most
county boards la:k the ,rvo t" go
ahead.
Men who have taken the trouble 70
inquire into the laws which work in
other states now favor a law in Iowa
which will authorize q county board
20 have a road improvement project
surveyed, approved by the state high
way commission and the contract adj
vertised and let to the lowest respon-
sibls bidder conditioned upon the
bonds being voted by the people. This
plan is in use and has the merit OF
giving the voter definite information
as to the cost Of the project proposed
The county board can fix the tax need
ed to retire the bonds in equal annual
installments and the voter will know
just what he is voting.
II such a plan were legalized in Iowa
we could decide at home within the
counties whether the county roads
would lead from the farm to the mar

THOSE OF THE "ENrOURAGE."
.ICedar Rapids Republican,

It is often said that any one who
could have gotten the chance to go
would have gone with the presidential
shipload to Europe. There Is no doubt
Of that. Any one OF us invited would
have accepted such a journey de luxe
and the opportunity to see the capitals
Of Europe under gala auspices as the
guests Of other as well aS our own
government. We are all temptible
and some of US in policies are con-
temptible. But while we would have
done. 80 it does not make it right to
spend millions OF dollars in such en-
tertainments. For the president and
those officially associated with him
and the peace makers to go to Europe
is one thing, but for hundreds Of hang
ers on to go also and that at public
expense, we would not say that that Is
wholly right, nor is it wholly demo-
cratically American.
We doubt not that the peace ship
before it Is all over will cost this coun-
try as much as we are now trying to
raise in the whole United States for
the relief Of the fatherless children Of
France, the children Of fathers who
the world and who by dying saved the
lives Of American boys who wouia
have been compelled to fight longer II
the French had not won 50 much OF
the victory before we entered the war.
OF course, IL may not be proper to say
that some would rather have taken all
this money and paid 1t into the food
less homes of France for the rearing OF
hundred thousand babies into useful
men and women Of the future-but
some wfll natura!lys think Of such
things.
II Is not glory to sell more bonds
to pay any part Of the proceeds for
carrying across tire ocean q ship load
OF polticians-even II any one Of US
would have been glad to have accepted
such invitations to go. For those whose
services are needed provisions should

Physicians are warning the pubic
against trifing with colds, influenza

Physicians say that it is waste oil

with other laxatives, as calomel Is
absolutely necessary sooner or later.
One Calotab on the tongue at bed
time with a swallow of water,-that's
all. No salts, no nausea nor the
