THE DOW CITY FAILURE,

1t is even at this Time too early to
know all the causes that lead up to the
disastrous failures,of the Green bust
ness interests at Dow City. The effects
will be felt in many homes for many
months, even though the final settle
ment be as favorable as Mr.. Green
predicts. 1t will mean at the very
least, temporary embarrassment, en-
forced economy and perhaps actual
privation for some of the depositors,
and for these and for Mr. Green and
his family and associates we have gen.
uine sympathy. That the failure
caused as little uneasiness and unset
clement of credit as it did is The high
est possible proof of the solidity of the
other banks uf the county and the gen.
eral confidence in them. The failure
was as far as we know, on account of
special causes, not because Of general
panic conditions or hard times ami for
this reason the other financial institu-
lions ofthe county were injured in only
comparatively trivial amounts and their
credit and standing were injured not at
all.
1t is certainly q tribute to the gen.
eral esteem in which Mr.. Green is
held that there are at this time so few
charges of dishonesty of any kind. A
man who has lost few hundred dollars
or more in bank failure is usually in
about as good humor as the man who
has missed the last three meals, and he
is not to be taken TOO severely to task
If he says things, but in this instance
we have heard othing but expressions
of regret for tle unfortunate series of
circumstances that made the assign
ment necessary.
Mr.. Green has done much for Dow
City aud for the people of western
Crawford, although the injury done by
the failure will possibly outweigh them.
We shall not try to point any morals
or adorn ny les, but we can but think
that the legislature of Iowa has been
greatly In error IN not providing for
the examination of private banks.
There are many private banks just
as strong financially as any state or
national bank. Such institutions
would not suffer from examinations and
publicity. M tional and state banks
are not immune, but their failures are
seldom so severe or complete as those
OF private banks. We fail to see how
any bank would he done an injury by
examination and we believe that on the
contrary they would be advan. aged by
the additional confidence such exami-
nation would give. In the history of
this county there has been but one
bank failure that occasioned any con-
siderable loss to depositors. This is
record to be proud Of. There is no
danger that any other bank in this
vicinity will be, or are affected, and
there is no occasion for anything but
absolute confidence in the banks and
farms and fields and business men of
old Crawford.

Joint Amiction,

When the Halliday twins We're ba-
bies their mother always referred to
them collectively. This was natural
enough, for they shared everything,
from their baby carriage to chicken
pox.
AS they grew little older, however,
there were slight differences between
Elnora and Eudora, but Mrs. Halliday
took no account of them. When they
had reached the age Of seven, she still
referred to them in way which struck
casual listeners as amusing.
Where are Elnora and Eudora 2"
asked cousin. who had come to spend
the afternoon.
'The twins have gone with their IA
ther to have one Of their teeth out"
said Mrs. Halliday calmly. - Youths
Companion.
What is experience? A poor little
hut constructed from the ruins Of the
palace Of gold and marble called our
illusions.

Had Time to Rest.

Mr.. Choate, h. ambassador of the
United States at London, tells story
OF sculling match that took place be-
tween an Englishman, a student of Ok
ford, and an Irishman, student of
Cambridge. The Briton won handily.
At no time was he in danger of defeat.
Moreover. in a spirit of fun and bravo
do, he had stopped two or three times
in his course and had babe the Irish
man in the rear ito hurry up"
After the race the Irishman came in
for good deal of chaff, in view of the
overwhelming defeat he had suffered
But he merely shrugged his shoulders.
Faith" he said, ''if had had the
long rests that he took I could have
beaten him easily" Webster City

THE MAJESTY OF TIE LAW.

a wonderful thing happened this
week. A shameful ard disgraceful
thing. A pilitul thing. y thing re-
hectlng ut the same time both dishouor
and credit to America institutions.
A United States Senator stood before
the Lar of justice. tried and convicted.
to receive sentence.
The crime was that of selling the in
1uence of his high position. the sent
ence carried with it that never again
should he hold any position of honor,
trust or evnolument under the govern
ment of the Uuited States.
The additional sentence. six mouths
in jail, a $2500 fine, carried little added
punishment 1t could not.
The change from the marble halls OF
the senate chamber to the steel walls
of the cell will not be SO great to that
man as mental fall.
1t was indeed pitiful. disnonor.
able, dfsgraceful sight, but it demon.
strated the solidity of the republic. the
supremacy of law over power and pride
and place and gave the lie to the dema
gogic cry thai justice is only for the
poor and humble.
| OThe naughty senator of the republic
standing before the bar of the republic
receiving his ser teuce with bowed
head is a picture to b. remembered
to the honor of the law which knows nc
high, nor low and to the terror of the
evil doer no matter how exalted his
station.

Each week shows more and more the
strength of Congressman Conner in the
Tenth district. He stands we'll with
every class because he is representa-
tive man and capable to discharge the
duties of congressman. He will be-
renominated with the same hearty good
will that characterized the renomina-
tons given biennially to his predecessor
j. p Dolliver. One j. P. is as good as
the other to the people of the big Tenth

Judge Conner is home from Washing

gressional convention at Fort Dodge on
the 18th inst, with good deal of serene
satisfaction. He is going to be renomi-

The feeling for him is strong and ag-
gressive, showing plainly the high
standing he enjoys with the people of
