THE RIGHT WAY.
The second convention of tne ues
Moines River Improvement associa
tion will be held in Farmington
morrow. There will be delegates in
attendance from nearly all the towns
and cities along the Des Moines river
to consider plans for
co-operating
wltn
the government in improving
stream. The Des Moines river naviga
tion enthusiasts have gone about
things in the right manner. They
have shown the government that there
is a widespread demand for tne im
provement of the stream and secured
an appropriation for the survey of the
ricer, a work already begun. Then
they have given proof
of
.1t,^eir ,ar®u"
ments as to the navigability of the
stream by actually navigating it. rne
Burlington Hawk-Bye, which takes the
broad view that the improvement of
the river will be of benefit not
on^y
the people of the Des Moines valley,
but to the entire state, congratulates
the river improvement boosters on
the campaign they are conducting.
The Hawk-Eye says:
There h?.s been considerable discus
sion' as to the navigability of the Des
Moines river. The project is being
ridiculed by newspapers here ana
there in the state, which are published
in towns that have no navigab
streams. Nevertheless, the project is
an entirely feasible one. Government
engineers have begun a survey of t.
stream, which will cover many inter
esting details.
But the proof of the pudding lies in
the eating thereof.
Better than all discussion, better
than all theorizing on the subject, is
the rotual demonstration of the tact

A MILLION DOLLAR BOAT LINE
Kansas City started out March 1 to
raise a million dollar fund by public
subscription to maintain a line of
freight boats on the Missouri river be-

tween Kansas City and St. Louis. Sat
urday night the total amount sub
scribed was $1,052,998 and it has been
decided to bring the total up to a mil
lion and a quarter before the last day
of the month. The Kansas City Com
mercial club has begun the work of
tabulating available freight for tho
new line and securing options from
shippers. This will determine the num
ber of boats to be purchased and no
time will be lost in making the navi
gation of the Missouri an accomplish
ed fact. When the million mark was
reached the secretary of the Commer
cial club sent the following telegram
to Senator Theodore E. Burton, chair
man of the rivers and harbors com
mittee:
"I wish to remind you of your prom
ise to Kansas City made in" Decem
ber, 1906, of a government appropria
tion for the Missouri river if Kansas
City would use the river. Have now
more than a million dollars for boats.
We will put the best type of boats on
the river and plenty of them."
Kansas City is in a position to make
a good case before the rivers and har
bors committee. The fact that its peo
ple have subscribed more than a mil
lion dollars to put in a line' of freight
carrying boats on the river is the best
evidence of its faith in the navigabil
ity o! the stream. Ksfnsas City busi
ness interests would not subscribe a
sum so large unless the big shippers
were certain the use of the stream as
a highway for transporting freight will
be a paying venture.
This is the right way to push the
waterway campaign. Oratory has been
more or less of a failure in awakening
the people to the necessity of utilizing
the inland waterways. There have
been plenty of words, but not enough
of works. The Missouri river boosters
have not been saying much, but they
have been sawing wood and the line
of freight laden boats they will be
able to produce as evidence In support
of their campaign for congressional
aid for the Missouri should prove a
winning argument.
A COMMERCIAL YELLOW PERIL.
Arthur Diosy, founder of the Japan
society of Great Britian and the au
thor of several books dealing with the
far east, believes that the advance
ment of China points to a commercial
yellow peril. China, he says, has ad
vanced more in the last five years than
it had in the 300 years before, and the
four hundred millions of Chinese are
intellectually on the move. Mr. Diosy
in a recent interview given in New
York said:
"l do not believe in the 'yellow peril'
in the usually accepted sense,— an
armed invasion of the west by dis
ciplined Mongol hosts, but I do believe
in a very real commercial and indus
trial peril which will arise when thn
millions of China become thoroughly
trained to tho use of western scien
tific methods and have provided them
selves with the necessary manufactur
ing -plants, which England and Amer
ica will be only too glad to supply at
remunerative prices.
"When the Chinese begin to turn
out, for instances, boots as good as
ours for a dollar and a half,' don't
you think the people of this country
will insist upon getting the articles
where they are several times cheaper
than they are at home and compel
their importation? That is where the
peril lies.
"The more I consider the tremen
dous problems offered to reflection by
a visit to this .country tne more I am
convinced that if the people were
fully conscious of their best interests
they would come to a speedy under
standing with the people of the Brit
ish empire. Their civilizations are
after all based on the same broad
principles of well ordered liberty and
on the same ideas of right expressed
in the same language in the same
great Book."
READ THE PAPERS.
The Chicago Tribune is led by re-,
cent events to believe that either the
business men of the country do not
read the papers at all or they do it in
so careless arid perfunctory a way that
they might as well let them go unlook
ed at. The Tribune cites the corpora
tion iax legislation as an illustration
of the ignorance of business men of
what was going on. It says:
The corporation tax did not go
through congress "like the silent tread
of a cat," as Senator Daniel said of
the act stopping the free coinage of
silver, which the free silver men called
"the crime of 1873." It figured in the
newspaper reports of congressional
proceedings. It was printed in the
papers, the publicity provision includ
ed. It was discussed editorially. But
up to about two months ago few of
the men interested in corporations
seemed to be.aware of the existence of
the tax. Perhaps the Illinois contin
gent would still be in ignorance if J.
Mack Glenn had not rung the alarm
belL Then there was a scurrying! to
Washington. There were plaintive ap
peals to congress and the president to
"do something"—appeals which, if the
business men had read the papers
closely, would have been made last
summer, while the tax was being con
sidered.
There is no doubt that a great many
people do not give the time they
should to reading the daily newspaper.
The pafler must be read every day, for
unless a "story" Is followed as it de
velops day -by day, it will not be fully
digested. The daily newspaper is an
education in itself and nobody can
keep pace with the times without fol
lowing the day's news closely.
About the hardest working newspa
per men these days are the special
correspondents who are trying to
cable home a column of hot stuff about
Col. Roosevelt. The colonel refuses to
get excited or to say anything that
will excite his hearers.
A THEORY OF THE WRECK.
Cedar Rapids Republican—Railroad
men themselves do not place much
credence in the theory of spreading
or breaking of. rails in the Gladbrook
accident. They attribute the accident
to the fact that the engines were run
ning backward, the tender of the head
engine being the head of the train. As
the coal and water were used up this
tender became lighter and on the poor
ly ballasted tracks of the Great West
ern must have swayed to and fro. The
depleted water in the tank would by
its motions from side to side help that
swaying. It was the lightness of the
tender that caused it to jump the
track and the engine followed into the
clay bank Instantly stopping the
whole train, which was running at the
moderate rate of speed of 22 miles an
hour. The theory is plausible and will
receive, no doubt, consideration at the
hands of the railroad commissioners.
THE DES MOINES RIVER.
Burlington Hawk-Bye—On Tuesday,
March 29, there is to be another meet
ing of the men who are boosting the
improvements of the Des Moines river.
It is to be held at Farmington. in Van
Buren county, and no doubt there will
be a large attendance and considerable
enthusiasm. There seems little doubt
that the project is entirely, feasible,
and that the river can be made navi
gable for boats of light draft, propelled
by gasoline engines. There is every
reason to believe that the river can be
made navigable to Fort Dodge, and
even beyond that point, and that the
cost of the improvement need not be
prohibitive. It will be a great stream
for all manner of pleasure boating,
when improved and there will no
doubt be much local passenger busi
ness, and there is every reason to as
sume that in time considerable freight
might be sent up and down the stream
during the season. There is reason to
believe that every other stream in the
state that has water in it, will be im
proved in time, if not for profit, then
for the pleasure of the people who
dwell upon its shores, and only inciden
tally for the sake of trade and
commerce.
Here and there an editor who does
not agree with the proposition, ridi
cules the whole movement. And then
people wonder what ails Iowa. Per
haps Burlington has no direct interest
in the improvement of the Des Moines
river. But being an Iowa city, the im
provement of that river will be a bene
fit to her as it will be to the whole
state, and the people of Burlington will
no doubt, be delighted when the towns
on the Des Moines river shall be en
joying good navigation and shall be ar
ranging regattas there, just as the
had regettas in the days of the old up
per Mississippi River Valley Rowing
association.
And the cities whose editors are
throwing bricks at the improvement of
the Des Moines river, may want some
thing. And the Burlingtonians, al
though thev will have ho direct per
sonal interest in the new move, will
wish them joy and success, knowing
that whatever pleases and helps one
section of the state, will eventually
prove a benefit to all Iowa. And Bur
lington, while she is very much inter
ested in Burlington Is always for Iowa.
And therefore, more power to the
Des Moines River boosters and may
they make it the finest river in America
of its size.
CEMENT PAVING O. K.
Mason City Times.—Last year the
mayor and city council of Mason City,
believing that cement paving would
stand the test as well as other kinds
of paving placed contracts for several
blocks of it in prominent alleys down
town where the traffic is the heaviest.
This paving was placed late in the fall
during the wet weather and while- it
was freezing some, and yet this paving
came out this spring without any trou
ble. whatever so far as Engineer Wil
son can find.
Cement paving, at the price con
tracted for by our city council the
other night, means without question
a great Impetus to paving work, not
only in Mason City, but in every town
in this section. Its price should do
away with the dirt roads and streets
in all towns and cities, as the cost will
enhance the value of the property
more than the cost of paving..
Last fall our city council I^t a con
tract for cement paving and although
last fall the ground froze wet. and we
had one of the severest winters that
this section has seen for years, this
paving showed up this spring without
a single crack or break, and everyone
is so well pleased with the result that
the rity council the other night let
contracts for around two and one-half
miles of cement paving at $1.25 per
square yard, to be laid this summer in
Mason City.
Cement paving means more, if any
thing for the smaller towns than It
does for the larger ones, because here
tofore these smaller towns have not
been able to afford paving on account
of the high cdst necessary to get con
tractors, who can handle brick or the
other materials before used, to take on
a job containing only a few blocks.
Now, with the proper set of specifica
tion s, such as are used by our city en
gineer. any reliable local contractor
doing concrete work can properly put
down cement paving and it leaves
every local situation able to take care
of its own work.

The Power of Faith, tyatt. 9: 18-34.
Golden Text. All things are possible
to him that believeth. Mark 9:23.
Verse 18—How do you account- for
this man's extraordinary faith?
Would it be possible, or not, for a
man who is not a follower of Jesus to
have such a faith as this?
WHAT IS FAITH CAUSED BY, OR
BASED UPON? IS IT A MATTER OF
EVIDENCE OR A RESULT OF DEEP
REASONING, OR IS IT A DIVINE
IMPARTATION POSSIBLE ONLY TO
THOSE WHO ARE SPIRITUAL, OR
WHAT? (This question must be an
swered in writing by members of the
club?)
Verse 19.—Did Jesus, while In the
fleBh.ever
refuse any request for help,
and how Is he today in that partlcu
lar?
Give your views as to whether It is
possible for a person to be a true
Christian, who is not willing to help
those in need as Jesus was?
Verses 20, 21.—How do you harmon
ize with the goodness of God the fact
that there as so many incurable dis
eases, in great pain all the time, dying
a living death, much like this poor
woman?
If all such sufferers would come to
Jesus now, In faith, like this poor
woman did, would it be his will to al
ways cure them, as he did then?
It was a noble faith that this woman
had in believing she would be cured
by touching his garment, but, Is there
reason to believe, that she could have
been cured without touchflng him at
all?
Was it the touch that cured her, or
the conscious consent and power of
Jesus?
Verse 22.—Jesus knows and sees all
who would come to him for help, and
always welcomes and helps each one
who comes, why then do so many hesi
tate, or neglect to come to him?
Verses 23, 24.—It appears It was
custom to play mournful music when
death entered a home, and for the
friends to make a great lamentation
please say whether this harmonizes
with the teachings of Jesus, and
whether In this case his words were
meant for a rebuke?
Why is not mournful music, the
wearing of mournlfig, the giving way
to violent grief, and other similiar
heatherlsh customs, when friends die,
displeasing to God?
Can you give any examples of Jesus
using words with two or more mean
ings, and in such a way that only
those who were honest hearted could
understand what he meant?
Verse 25.—Why did Jesus put the
people out before he raised this young
woman to life?
Was it possible for Jesus, and is it
possible for any follower of Jesus, to
work effectually in the presence of
corners.
Verse 26.—Why did the world re
ject Jesus, notwithstanding his great
^ame as a loving teacher with marvel
ous wonder working power?
Verses 27-29.—How did these two
blind men know that Jesus was the
son of David?
Do all men need to cry for merc^,
and why?.
Would Jesus have healed these blind
men if they did not have faith that he
could do so?
What part does faith play in the
temporal and spiritual progress of men
today?
Verses 30-31.—Why did Jesus forbid
them from telling of this miracle?
Did they do right to tell It, seeing
Jesus had requested them not to do
so?
Which is the right thing to do, fol
low our good impulses, or obey Qod,
when these are contrary, the one to
the other as in this case?
Verses 32-34.—Jesus spent his life in
