The demand for lumber is broadening
and both wholesalers and yard dealers
report increased sales. although the

Chicago--Seasonable weather stimu-
lated the demand in leading retail lines
and considerable reduction of mer-
chandse stocks was effected, the buy
ing being especially good in clothing,
shoes and womens wear. Buyers from
the interior are here in larger number
and their dealings made material
addition to wholesale transactions.
They are careful in their selections of
goods. but have purchased as freely as
a year ago in the staple lines. Sales
reached a satisfactory aggregate in the
dry goods departments, and in clothing.
footwear, woolens, and furniture. There
is better demand for mems furnishings,
hats and caps and children's clothing.
Other jobbing departments report Il
better tone in current dealings. De-
mand for groceries, canned goods and
confectioners' supplies compare favor
ably with the same period last year.

BANK EXAMINATIONS.

LCorning Union-RepubIcan.l
1t is strong language to say that
bank examinations are farcical, and
yet the developments subsequent to
some of the failures in the state more
than justify this characterization. 1t
has been easy in the past and 1t is easy
now for men who are carrying on a
fraudulent banking business to de-
ceive the examiners. They have done
this principally by the use of forged
paper. The examiners can not be ac-
auainted with the signatures of the
men whose notes comprise the securi-
ties of the bank. nor have they any way
Of knowing the financial standing of
those who owe the bank. Forged paper
and paper signed by men who We're
worth little or nothing have figured
largely in the recent bank failures In
this state. The examinations, which
are presumed to protect the public, are
really sort of protection to the fraud
ulent banker. since they are commonly
accepted a guaranty from the state
or the federal government that the in
stitution is sound. And 1t might be we'll
to call attention to the fact that the ex-
animation of national banks Is as open
to criticism as that of state banks.

COUNTY ATTORNEYS.
rIowa Falls Citizen.1

Each county in Iowa is blessed with
an attorney whose duty it is to protect
the interests of the taxpayer and to en-
force the laws of the state. once upon
a time. there were district attorneys,
and lust why a change to the county
attorney system was made is not SO
nlain. However, the presumption Is
that the intention was to improve.
Whether the Improvement came is
questionable.
An attorney for each and every coun-
ty seems to necessitate inferior sal
aries. The result of this is bad. Few
old and experienced attorneys Will
sacrifice their own practice to become
county attorney. Either young and IN
experienced lawyers scramble for the
ONCE or older and more or less unsuc-
cessful attorneys seek to recoup their
depleted treasures. This is not al
WAYS the case but too often the case.
The result Of the election of such men
to the office of states attorney is that
any individual can hire for few dol
lars better legal protection than
county of 10000 people has at its I'M
mediate command. If the county be-
comes interested In some civil or legal
case of Importance. it at once becomes

bank on bumper corn crop. Well
distributed showers the past week
have relieved apprehensions of dam
age by drought, and revived the pas
lures. Conditions have been especially
favorable for the development of the
corn crop, considerable portion of
which is now past the roasting ear
stage. and quite heavy in stalk and ear.
Reports continue to indicate fair yield
and good quality of oats that have been
threshed. Cutting wild hay and millet
is in progress. The late potato crop
is doing we'll. A good start has been
made in blowing. The early apple crop
is unusually heavy. Three weeks of
good warm weather will put this coun-
try, financially, in the best condition
for several years.

The historian has said that ages ago
the first mule was invented, and the
output Of profanity was increased one
hundred per cent inside Of six months.
Less than a decade ago gasolene and
electricity were crossed and the result
the gasolene engine-has done more
than the mule to debauch the human
temper of any man who has monkeyed

CINE is the sadeyed mule among en-
gines. 1t is rough and hardy and has
voice like boiler factory, requires
little sustenance and less attention.
But like the mule it exercises its own
discretion about starting and stopping.
1t may work without murmur for a
week and then stop without reason
for another week. Arguments are use

science a mockery; profanity only
relief, not a remedy; but it is never
