HEARST'-i CAMPAIGN.
When Hearst does anything that Is
done by other people he generally
tries to do it with an extra flourish or
two that the others do not give it.
When he became candidate for mayor
of New York he spent more money
probably, than all the rest of the can
didates in the field, for all the offices.
He filed his schedule in due form, as
required by the law of New York,
and the total is much greater than
the expense Governor Higgins incur
red when he became chief executive
of the Empire state. Hearst's state
ment under the law shows that he
spent $65,843 in trying to land the of
fice.
Hearst says that his organization,
the municipal ownership league, got
rid of $80,206 in the campaign, and be
put up all but $17,488 of it, the other
candidates on the ticket sharing
equally with himself in the benefits.

THE PRINCE'S VISIT.
-Prince Louis of Battenberg has fin
ished his visit to America and is now
well on his way back to Europe. He
had a somewhat exciting time at New
York, for in addition to the desertion
of more than a thousand of his sailors,
came a conspiracy to blow him up
with dynamite, which called for a spe
cial police guard. But the prince con
ducted himself in a manly fashion and
won the respect of all who met him.
It is doubtful if even Prince. Henry
of Prussia put in such a strenuous time
socially as Prince Louis did. It is hard
to understand how one man could do
aH the things he did and live through
Prince Louis came on a peculiar
mission. He was an ambassador of
good "will a courier of friendship. He
had ho other business than to enter
tain and be entertained. Before he had
his breakfast on the Drake he was
called upon by a committee that took
him somewhere where he made a
speech. From there he was taken to
some other place in a special train to
itaeet a lot of people he had never seen
and would never see again. Back to
the Drake he hurried to change his
dress in order to go to a luncheon in
his honor nt some club, where he made
another speech and said pretty things
about America and smiled and' bowed
until he was fairly bewildered. After
luncheon another committee waited qn
him to take him off to attend a meeting
of naxal commanders or newspaper
men,, where he probably received a
loving cup and said more pretty things

complain. American hospitality is
jealous and exacting. When we start
out to "spread ourselves" in the enter
taining line it is a strong constitution
that can Btand up under it. Prince
Louis showed himself a man of strong
fibre when he went the pace for two
weeks and steamed out of New York
harbor still sitting up and taking notice
of things. It would he interesting to
know some of the things he tells King
Edward when he meets his sovereign.
It is safe to say that the whole thing
will be a dizzy though not unpleasant
dream for the prince for a long time
to come.
NAVY INC liANut.
Every good business man regards
money paid for fire insurance as so
much well invested, and though he
may have his buildings and stock well
insured, he is ready to pay his prem
iums and glad always when a year
passes and he has no fire. Just in
this way do men whose' opinions are
valuable regard the proposition to
enlarge the United otates navy. Sec
retary Bonaparte of the navy depart
ment is against the position taken by
AdmtraJ Dewey and several other na
val officftpi who, with President Roose
velt, fafor the building of new war
ships, apd the improvement of the
American navy to such a point that it
will be the equal of any nation's navy.
This stand is taken by the latter
group of men not because they expect
or want a war, ut rather because
they wish to see it avoided They
know that other governments will be
slow to rush into a conflict witii the
United States when this country is
well protected by a large and capable
navy. Anger can be seasoned nearly
always by the application of sound
judgment. So the best insurance this
government can have against a war is
a gcod navy—not simply a "good"
navy, either, but a "splendid" navy.
The expense of maintaining it would
be almost nothing as compared with
the cost of a war in which the United
States would be crippled by a small
or weak navy.
This nation is much larger and
much greater among nations ^'.ian it
has ever been before. In order to
hold its present posiiton it must be
able to defend itself and its posses
sions and ihterets in all quarters of
the. globe. It can dj this only with a
large navy, not one composed of old
warships renewed and repaired, but
of modern fighting machines, .always
up to date and always in trim for fight
ing. It should take no argument to
make sensible people believe this
view.
rihould the United States be1 drawn
into a war much of the fightirg, prob
ably. most of it, would be on the
water. Though there is no one In
America but hopes that the time when
this country must go into a war is far
distant, there is no one but 'would
want to win if war should come, and
the cry would immediately go upi for
a navy" taat could defend the vast
coast line and guard on the sea the
interests of America and American
shippers.
For peace purposes the American
navy is large enough, but a village
hose reel is even in the way in a city
where there a-re no fires. However,
every city is prepared for fires, little
as they are wanted and every nation
is prepared for war, little^ as it desires
a conflict.

RIVER TRAFFIC NOT DEAD.
According to the Muscatine Journal
and the Davenport Times, two papers
published in thriving cities on the Mis
sissippi river, there Is no reason to
fear that river traffic Is about to dis
appear nor that the lumber business,
the backbone of that traffic is nearing
the end of its run. The season has
just recently closed and river men
are casting up their accounts for the
season. The Journal says they are
waII' nlpflcpd with fve. V\»iltEus mx unswo, b6ntin6l to asK: C&n
wl S«™ they it be that the printer Is conducting the
have done and all are preparing for a
busy season In 1906.
The Times, in a comprehensive arti
cle on the situation and the outlook,
has the following to say, of interest
alike to all people living in the Missis
sippi valley, whether residents of river
cities or not:
"Notwithstanding the fact that some
papers along the river predict that
the saw mills will soon disappear, the
men who ought to know something
about the business—the river men—
have no fears that the business next
season will show any marked decrease
in volume. Among those who have re
cently expressed opinions upon the
river traffic of next season are former
Governor Van Sant of Minnesota, own
er of a rafting fleet, and Captain John
Monroe Of Clinton, who has recently
had charge of the steamer Isaac
Staples.
"Mr. Van Sant asserts positively that
the business on the river next year
will be as pood, or better .than It was
this year. He admits that the rafting
business this year was not as heavy
as It should have been for the reason
that the transportation of logs by rail
caused a slump in the business. Prob
ably he believes that the railways
have taken as much of this business
from the steamers as they can and
there will be no additional decrease
of the number of logs floated down the
river next season.
"Captain Monroe arrives at his con
clusion in another way. With the ex
ception of two bow boats which have
been sold to people on the Fonda
coast he does not know of a single
rafter-which will leave the upper river
next spring. He asserts that all the
rafters will be out next spring. While
two' or three big mills have closed
down permanently this fall, according
to his belief, it will be many years be
fore the last mill along the upper
Mississippi is dismantled.
"The packet business will, of course,
continue- as it has in other days, for
the stealers always get passenger
business in competition with the rail
ways. It is a pleasure to ride upon the
water. The excursion business is grow
ing instead of decreasing. Taking ev
erything into consideration It is safe
to predict that thia levees of Daven
port and Rock Island will be lively
places during the season, of 1906."
The state of Wisconsin is certainly
lucky in one respect. A recent dis
patch sent out from Madison states
that the state officers hare decided to
levy no state tax this year. The same
dispatch contains the statement that
this is the third year this has been
done under Governor LaFollette's ad
ministration. The announcement says
the state has money enough to cover
all the appropriations mad 3 by the
legislature for running the university
and the charitable and penal institu
tions, and with the sum expected to be
collected from the railroads for back
taxes and rebates will be enough to
cover other expenses of the state gov
ernment, including the school tax.
The story that President Roosevelt
disagreed with Secretary Shaw on fin
ancial matters and that he had prac
tically forced the Iowa man to resign
from the cabinet falls pretty flat when
one reads the letters from Washington
announcing that the secretary will re
main in his present office at least un
til the end of the coming session of
congress.
Olga Nethersole's play, "The
Labyrinth," is objected to in Canada
by some of the women who were to
be patronesses for her charity enter
tainments. Olga always did have hard
luck and should adopt something
no more stirring than "The James
Boys in Missouri."
Mr. Roosevelt is a peacemaker, all
right, but he can use some strong lan
guage, as Is evidenced in his letter to
H. M. Whitney.
IOWA PRESS COMMENT.
"Had Napoleon known that a cen
tury later the women would adopt his
style of hat," says the Clinton Herald,
"he would probably have worn a som
brero as big as a parachute."
"It can hardy be contended that
optimism, is no longer an attribute of
the human imagination," says the Des
Moines Capital, "after the publication
of that prediction that the Hamilton
county political factions may bury
their differences before the next con
gressional campaign."
"The 2,600 men from the British and
American, fleet who banaueted at
Coney Island a week ago drank 26,
000 bottles of beer," says the Cedar
Rapids Gazette. "No wonder some of
them forgot to go home."

"The republican' part/, however it
may be with the democratic, is' lpoking
forward hopefully to the work of the
present congress," says the Sioux City
Journal. "If it is well done the cam
paign of next -ea. will be easy."
Apropos of the governor's sugges
tion that the erovernor be given the

power to suspend local officers for
failure to do their duty, the Coon Rap
ids Enterprise ai!:s. "But what good
would such a delegated power to the
governor do? Officers in communities
where a violation of certain laws Is
winked at, would rather be suspended
than enforce the law, and It would be
Impossible, under such a condition, to
find men after a little time to accept
positions. Its the local sentiment that
enforces laws or permits them to be
flagrantly violated. What is most
needed In every community is a
healthy moral sentiment. If some plan
can be devised to create such sen'l
ment where needed, law enforcement
will follow and will be found feasy
enough."
The Keokuk Gate City thinks tKat
it Is also better to be right than presi
dent of one of the big eastern In
surance companies.
"The best ballot is that which best
serves the purposes of convenience
and secrecy," says the Dubuque
Times. "The Iowa law would be all
right if It were not for the decision
of our supreme court that one who
marks the circle at the head of one
one ticket may not mark a cross in
the square before the name of i. can
didate on another ticket."
In a list of 100 of the richest men In
the world published a few days ago
there appeared one or more of about
every trade and profession in the uni
verse except the newspaper, which
leads the Onawa Sentinel to ask: "Can
only honest business?"
"Chauncey Depew makes or.e speech
during each session of congress," says
the Council Bluffs Nonpareil. "It is
usually, quite delightful, but it is fear
ed that it has been badly spoiled for
the coming sesslc n."
The Cedar Rapids Republican Is of
the opinion that the tariff has nothing
to do with the .price of hides, and it
enumerates conditions which would
operate to increase the price, namely:
the increased use of leather, the
probable decrease In the number of
cattle and the demand for American
hides caused by tiie war in the orient.
"The large dealers in hides have sim
ply taken advantage of these condi
tions," the Republican concludes, "and
probably forced the price a little above
normal prices."
"What Massachusetts wants and
what she will get in the lihe of tariff
legislation," says the Des Moines
Capital, "will 'probably bear a suffi
cient lack of resemblance so that the
difference can be told without the
summoning of expert testimony."
The Glldden Graphic says it is the
misfortune of the woman suffragists of
Iowa that no one regards their efforts
seriously.
"If the Ohio legislature proves to be
democratic and the state is redistrict
ed the republicans will realize how
big a bowl of soup they upset," sug
gests the Vinton Eagle.
O—
The Harlan Republican says that if
Governor Cummins could take from
manufactured goods all the tariff he
thinks should come off, and If his
Massachusetts friends could have free
raw materials there would be mighty
little left of protection.

The Spirit Lake Beacon says that
the popular vote in Norway preferring
monarchy to free eovernment is some
thing of a jolt to the widespread no
tion in this country that people live
under monarchy because they have to.
"Perhaps Charles will be an ideal
king of Norway," says the Dubuque
Telegraph, "which is to say an lncon
sequental, uncreatlve, inoffensive
king."

The Clinton Herald Is a standpatter
as to the tariff on leather. It guesses
that the price of shoes would remain
the same and labor in the factories
would get no better wages if the tariff
were to be removed."
"The so called fight on Congressman
Hepburn," says the Eldora Herald, "Is
about equal to the attempt of the fly
to demolish the great elephant, and
will no doubt have just about as much
effect in encompassing his defeat."
"Anv attempt to make the govern

says the Marshalltown Times-Republi
can, speaking of the Isle of Pines af

The Dubuque Telegraph advocates
the enactment in every state of a law
requiring the Investment to that state

force there. "This," says the Tele

volume of monev In circulation In each

in the upbuilding and development of
