MORLEY ORDERS AND BANKS.

! The cashier OF q fair-sized bank in
Iowa, speaking at a recent bankers
i convention, lamented the fact that
| while the transmission of securities was
once the most important work of the
banks, they had been almost driven out
of the business by the government and
the express companies with their mon
ey orders From the figures Of the
growth of the money order business in
the last few years it was made appar-
ent that this branch alone, If done by
the banks would have furnished a
fair profit.
1t seems that the money order blanks
which the government furnishes free of
charge to mail order houses, newspa-
pers and all Institutions which receive
a large number of small remittances by
mail. has so stimulated the money or
der business that none but the large
sums are now paid in the form Of bank
drafts. This banker suggested that the
banks change the name of their draft
to bank money order and CO cooperate
in supplying the same class of business
houses as above mentioned with blank
applications similar to those provided
by the government, and he also pro-
poses that the banks cut the price in
order to effectually compete with the
to- fo hue
The transmission of money In small
amounts Is very important problem.
1t grows in that Importance as our So
ciety becomes more complex. There
was a time when people lived to them
selves in their home communities Their
wants were confined to few things
which were mostly made at home.
Nowadays, with improved thansporta-
ton and mail facilities, and the con-
slant education of the public that has
been effected thru the advertising coll
umns, the wants of the people number
a myriad things. So great has become
the traffic of commodities back and
forth between communities that the
statesmen of the land are already dis

HARD coal PROSPECTS.

What is the pros pect of getting hard
coal is the question the people are now
| inclined to ask. Assuming that the
miners decide to resume work at once,
a strong effort will be made to meet
/ public expectation as rapidly as posi-
I bic, judging from advices that come
from the mining headquarters. With
"a full resumption of effort by the strik-
ers and others now employed. 1t is esti-
mated that by Nov. 1st the mines will
be producing coal at the rate of 100000
tons day, and then the amount will be
gradullay increased. The outlook is
that there will be rush of work all
winter and we'll into the spring TO sup
ply current demands.
This coal viii be quickly hurried to
market. as there are cars enough now
collected in the running region to ship
out 6, 100000 tons of coal. Never in the
history of mining have so many cars
been gathered in the coal region. Ordi-
narily some OF them are away for
month or more in the west. and some
only get back to the mines cnce or
twice year, but for reasons that are
apparent they are punched together as
never before. Railroad men have no
hesitancy in saying that they will be
able to carry to market quickly all that
tba mines can prOince.
Thus the prospect is fair In many
sections for securing a supply before
the severest winter weather sets in.
The fact that many consumers have
made arrangements for the use of other
thracite less strenuous than it would
otherwise be, and consumers hope it
may tend to keep down the price.

SOUTH cARollAAs CHILD LABOR VIEWS.

| The establishment of cotton factories
| child labor therein, has aroused public
| sentiment in that section against this
| last feature of industrial life, tho the
press and the people are by no means u
unit on the subject. a statistical state
ment published in the Chattanooga
Tradesman, covering 500 of the 500
of the children covered III its report are
employed in South Carolina. This re-
mort finds that there are 976 children in
one half of the South Carolina mills,
and that if the other mills, which failed
to report, contain an equal number, the
state has between 1900 and 1000 chill
dren under 12 years in its mills.
AS a result of aroused public senti-
ment on this subject the last legisla-
ture lacked only two votes of passing
an anti-child labor law last winter.
The last democratic state convention
passed an anti-child labor resolution,
in May, by a vote of two to one. and
there are plain indications that law
prohibiting or regulating such employ
ment will pass the coming legislature,
which meets in January.
AS previously stated, however, public
and press sentiment is divided on this
subject. While some of the leading and
most influential journals advocate such
statute, others are opposed to IT. The

MIR. COUSINS CANVASS.


Congressman Cousins was in yCreston
Wednesday, on his way to Greenfield,
where he filled speaking appointment
that evening. In conversation with a
representative of the Gazette he said
that thus far In his tour of the state
he had failed to encounter the apathy
reported to exist among the republic
cans. All of his meetings have been
we'll attended, and some of them have
been monsters that would do credit to a
presidential campaign. A few days ago
he was in the Second district, where the
democrats claim to stand show of
electing Judge Wade, where he made a
speech for Mr.. Hoffman, the republican
candidate, at Clinton. 1t was one of
the best audiences of the season that
greeted him there and the interest and
enthusiasm ran high. Mr. Cousins is
quoted in the Gazette as saying that
there is more interest in the Second
district than is manifested elsewhere.
and that where apathy exists 1t must be
in those sections where it is a sure
thing for the republican ticket. He
thinks this ought to be pointer to the
sure-thing districts to get out and hus-
tie and thus work up an interest for re-
publicanism. Mr.. Cousins spoke at
Creston Thursday night and at Oska-
loosa last night. After a weeks speak
ing in his own district he will go to
Ohio for weeks participation in the
campaign In that state.

not only this country, but the world is
ringing out with his praise. Is it be-
formed some feat of ledgerdemain?
Not at all. But because he had cour-
age to take hold of situation and
grapple with it, with no thought in his
mind, save the great necessity for in
dustrial peace in an industry control
Ting Il necessity of life. He had to
work without law and without prece-
dent. IL he thought about the conse-
quences at all. he knew that, figura-
lively speaking, he took his political
life in his hand, when, as president of
the United States, he assumed to
bring the warning factions together
for u settlement. But he dared begin.
and he would not have been condemn
ed even if he had failed. The people
recognized the honesty of his purpose
and the business of his act.
Theodore Roosevelt began his po-
!itical career in a manner that gave
promise of such heroic action as he
has just performed. There is no hope
for the man who has grown old in cow
ardice. He will continue to be trick
ster until the day of his death. The
president ought to stand as an example
and as an inspiration to all young men
who are entering upon political ca
reer. Cowardice never has brought and
never will bring substantial political
success to any man. AS it is upon the
field of battle, so it is in the arena of
politics: only the conscientious and the
brave receive lasting success and fair
renown.

SEEKING TO m,sREpREsEnr

The Chicago American in its capacity
to misrepresent seems to have a strong
rival in our Iowa contemporary So

/ following is a fair sample:
"Now that Shaw has purchased bonds
at a premium to relieve the money mar

The editor who wrote this must have
known that he was deliberately trying
to incite prejudice among the unin-
formed. When Secretary Shaw bought
bonds he took up Uncle Sans own
promissory notes, which would other
wise have run for twenty years or more

PARTY DIFFERENCE.

the former views with alarm" the
latter points with pride That is
the difference between looking upon
the dark and bright side of things, one
sees darkness and the other sunshine.
1t can perhaps be accounted for by the
fact that democrats see SO little good in

to see and prophesy evil, while the
reverse of that is the case with repub-
