AN AUTOMOBILE BANK

The big cities have all night and
all day banks, but the latest inno-
walton is an automobile bank. When
Chicago and New York financial in
stitutions announced their intention
to keep open day and night in order
that patrons who wanted to make a
deposit or cash check somewhere
along In the wee sma' hours might
do SO, old fashioned and conservative
people were confident that the limit
had been reached. But they did not
reckon on the auto bank. It is not,
as might be thought from its name. a
bank where things are done automat-
ically, but an automobile bank on
wheels, which will call at the resi-
dence or office Of a customer to re.
ceive deposits or cash checks, the
presumption being that New Workers
in the flood tide OF prosperity are TOO
busy making money to stop even to

THE sWEAT-SHoP EVIL

At a meeting of the New York
state charities conference the other
day, DR.. Lee X. Frankel, manager OF
the Hebrew charities of New York,
said that two-thirds of the cases com
ing before the societies of which he
is the head are due to illness which
is caused by long hours of labor, in
sufficient nourishment and disease.
Out of 100 cases of families seeking
aid, sixty were due to sickness on the
part of the wage-earners, caused by
the conditions under which they
worked. And yet Of the many women
who prefer these conditions rather
than to work in comfortable homes
as domestics, the majority are soon
rendered unable to work and are like
ly to become charge upon the com,
munity. The sweat shops do not have
to improve the conditions under
which their people work, for there is
plenty of competition, and many are
willing to work under such conditions
who would scorn to work under con
ditions 100 per cent better in every
way in the homes of those willing to
pay good prices for the work. De
liberately choosing the worst Of two
evils, If domestic work can be sc
called, it would seem merits little pity
for the woman who breaks down un
der the load she has put upon herself
The scarcity of good household hell
Is due to the fact that so many com
petent women are choosing between
the factory and sweat shop on one
hand and the position they would oc
cupy in domestic capacity in the
homes Of those able to pay for it or
the other. 1t is a question Of false
pride to say the least, and instead o.
making so much effort in behalf o.
the young women who work undel
such unhealthy conditions, the bes
thing for them would be to refuse
them any sympathy or help as Ions
as they are doing such work. Thu
preservation of the ideals Of famil!
life is no longer an excuse. because

would justify the extra expense ever
more certainly than that paid in tn,

ADVERTISING IS BUSINESS NEWS

Burlington Saturday Evening Post:
An official of the postofice department
is quoted as advancing the claim that
the original conditions under which
the second class of mail matter was
created have changed to such an ex-
tent that there no longer is the class
of matter coming technically under
that head; that the institution of ad-
vertising has so grown and expanded
that it has revolutionized the charac-
ter of the newspaper and magazine.
This is the claim of a man who is not
engaged In the newspaper calling and
who therefore has not given the whole
subject the careful and intelligent
scrutiny which it deserves. The real
mission of the newspaper has never
changed. Everything in it is news,
just as of yore. The editorials are
the news of the editors opinions.
They are set up in sman type because
he being directly engaged in the bus
mess KNOWS down in his marrow
bones that the word fifty spoken will
find its way regardless of the size OF
the type or the distance it may have
TO travel. Advertising is business
lnews-nothing more, nothing less
vertising news is thus often set up
the larger type because many sep
an to advertisers are in competition
for the attention Of the newspapers
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., the advertis
ing Is just as much and just as legit
innate news as anything in newspa
per, and is read with equal or greater
interest by the patrons Of the paper

tains twenty-four pages, eighteen
pages of which are advertising mat

bank it. Each depositor who desires
to patronize this gasoline bank is
provided with metal dispatch box,
to which there are only two keys, one
in his possession and one with the
receiving teller of the bank from
which the auto is sent out. When
the auto bank calls the customer
simply hands over his dispatch box,
receives a receipt for it, and sees it
placed in the safe in the auto bank.
On the next trip the box is returned
to him. Likewise if he wished to
draw money for pay roll or person
al needs, all he has to do is to tele-
phone for the auto bank to come
around his way. Collections and dis
bursements are to be made in large
territory, SO that a large amount of
ground will be covered.

is OFFICIALLY DEAD.
A Peculiar Decision BY An ottumwa
Judge.

Ottumwa Courier: Andrew Olson
is dead He was legally proclaimed
so Friday afternoon in the wapello
county district court by Judge F. w.
Eichelberger. If Olson were to re.
turn to Ottumwa tomorrow in flesh
and blood he would be dead man
just the same.
"Olson's demise was brought about
by complication of circumstances,
but the primary cause of his death
was the desire of his pretty orphan
daughter, Miss Selma Olson, to secure
payment of a $4,000 policy held by
her father in Hickory camp, Woodmen
Of the World.
And now that her father is dead,at-
torneys for the lair plaintiff state that
proceedings will be begun to collect
the money due on Olson's policy.
THE beginning OF the story dates
back to 1894 when Olson. a stone
mason, Respondent at being unable to.
get work in Ottumwa, and disneart-
ened by his wife's death, left his baby
daughter with friend of the family,
and went from this city in search of
work in the west.
However, before leaving, he went
to his friend, August Hart, and asked
him to see that the premiums on his
policy in the Woodman lodge were
regularly paid. Hart and other
friends of the family have paid the
premiums from time to time as they
came due for the past twelve years.
For five years after his departure
from Ottumwa friends of Olson here
received letters from him and on
many occasions he sent money for
the care of his daughter. In all his
letters he spoke in the tenderest re-
gard of his motherless child and often
expressed the hope that he would
soon be able to come pack.
"The last heard from Olson by any
of his friends in Ottumwa was in
April, 1899, when he wrote from Gal
weston, Tex. Every effort has been
made to locate him, but all have prov
en- futile. 1t is generally believed
among his friends that he met death
IN the Galveston food"

siderable decrease in the circulation,
which was afterward regained when
this class of advertising was resumed
in its columns. A recent issue OF the
Des Moines Capital consisted Of
eighty columns Of advertising and
thirty-two columns of reading mat
ter. The advertising was by far OF
greater ftnerest to majority of the
Capitals readers. as in 1t was con-
tanned the delinquent tax list Of Polk
county. The fact that the newspaper
derives a revenue from it's ADVERTISE
ments has resulted in great gain ins
actual merit on the part of all Iegiti-
mate publications. Just imagine the
big daily papers reporting the Span
lsh-American war on the colossal plan
that was followed by them. without
the sustaining revenues for advertis-
ing, But while the publication Of adj
vertising is paid for, it is Just as Ie-
ultimately business news as the socie-
ty column is society news or the per-
sonal column is personal news. Many
newspapers publish the weather prog
nostications of such numbering old
asses as Foster and Hicks and call
them news. In point of merit and OF
actual value and interest they are
not to be compared with the an
nouncement in the adjacent columns
OF the up-to-date merchant. Let it
not be forgotten that advertising is
business news and is sought out by
the reader just as diligently as any
other kind of news. With this fact
correctly lodged in his mind the crit
ic we have mentioned cannot 90
wrong.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: Cal Rose
committed suicide in Des Moines, be-
cause he found that his wife was un.
true to him. He was only an en-
ploye in a chop house and she worked
in restaurant, but the tragedy OF
life is not monopolized by the 400 and
the fellow who works for seven dol
lars a week may feel the bitterness
of grief and sorrow and shame, just
as much as the fortunate one, who
has been born with a golden spoon
in his mouth, and the follow who can
barely read and write, may feel dis
grace and disappointment even more
keenly. than he who has dipped into

draw more money in salaries than all
the combined forces of any other
class of men under the sun. There
are 100000 Of them in the U. S. and
at the moderate average of $500 per
day this makes a grand total Of $780,
100000 per year. Their expense &C,
count is ABOUT equal to that amount,
so that round billion dollars are the
net results of their work. when
we mention a billion dollar congress,
observes the Bussey Press, 1--WE mean
that in two years the expenses of the

In these morning hours Of the
twentieth century the man who SCOTS
at the Bible presents spectacle cal
culated to excite pity rather than con.
tempt. 1t shows sensibilities deaden

up in Floyd county the average
election expense in the seven pre-,
cints where voting machines were
used was $23.15, and in the nine
where they were not used the ex.
pense was $32.0S. The saving
amounting to about % per cent--is
not as great as many people had been
led to suppose it would be. The
principal objection to voting ma.
chimes is their initial expense, and
their chief advantage seems to be the
saving in time they effect in learning
the returns.

Census statistics show that in
1900 there were forty women civil en-,
gineers in the country, besides thirty
mechanical and electrical engineers
and three mining engineers. The fact
that Miss Nora Stanton Blatchford
daughter of Elizabeth Cady Stanton
has been appointed member of the
New York STAFF of civil engineers in
charge of the 100000 Catskill
waterwoRks system has called much
attention to the fact that women are
choosing this profession.
