Marshall Canning Company Begins
Work in Ten Days-Crop Promises
to Be of Fair Quaity-Packing Sea-
son Will Last Six Weeks.

Marshalltown, Aug. S.-The annual
corn packing season will open in about
two weeks, possibly at the plant OF the
Marshall Canning company, on a week
from next Monday, August 20. The
plant is being put in readiness for
work and the machinery is being over
hauled and repaired. The Gilman Can
ming company expects to begin it's
packing at about the same time.
In speaking of the prospective sea-
son, A. T. Birchard, Of the Marshall
Canning company, said this morning
the pack this year would probably be
under the average, owing chiefly to a
smaller acreage of corn having been
| planted by the farmers. Almost all OF
the corn packed by the local factory is
contracted for with farmers, but the
total average this year is smaller than
it has been The crop, however. prom,
ises to be of very fair quality although
some of the seed corn has not develop
ed into the crop that it was expected

A CONVERT TO SOCIALISM.

Joseph Medill Patterson. whom
Mayor Dunno of Chicago appointed
commissioner of public works, has re-
signed, and in doing so he notifies the
mayor that he has resigned because ne
does not consider his plans of imme-
date municipalization immediate emo
date multiplication immediate
enough nor broad enough. He quits,
not because he has gone back on his
former opinions, but because he has
gone forward, as he expresses it. In
other words, Mr.. Patterson has become
socialist, and as such he will prob
ably be hailed as a grand convert to
the doctrines of the common ownership
of property. Mr.. Patterson says ne
cannot see why money, (which is the
greatest thing in life should not he
more or less evenly distributed, as the
ballot is. The universal ballot gives
every male citizen an equal political
opportunity. The common ownership of
all the means of production and dis
tribution would give everybody an
equal chance at music, art, power
sport, study, recreation, travel, self
respect and the respect of others
Holding these views, Mr.. Patterson
could no longer consent to serve an
administration that is striving to do
nothing but municipalize streetcars,
leaving the great ocean of emporium
ity" untouched

New York Savings Banks.

ALBANY, N. Y, March 12.-Accord-
ing to the figures in the annual report
for 1905, Of Frederick D. Kilburn, state
superintendent of banks, the gain in
the resources of the savings banks of
the state of New York for the past year
was $93,SO7 ,399.67, which is larger by
more than $20,OO0,O0O than was ever
shown before for a single year. 1t is
arrested by those who are in a posi-
ton to know that the great showing
made by the saving banks of the state
means not an increasing use of these
institutions by those whom they are
not intended to serve, but rather
marked betterment in the conditions
of the masses of the people. In sup
port of this idea it is pointed out that
the gain in open accounts of the saw
ings banks for the year was 1924,
against 1872 in the year before. The
gain in the amount deposited during
the year was $51,116,52595, against
$24,699,413.S2 in the previous year.
There are now 1872 savings banks in
the state, 35 safe deposit companies
and 80 trust companies.

for it which appeals to the business
man is the simplicity with which it
permits of the transportation of small
sums of money through the mails and
in fact makes Uncle Sam the banker
of the millions who have no bank ac-
count
Another use is one which has appeal
ed to the medical fraternity, which
has for a long time waged unavailing
war upon the filthy paper money which
is permitted to circulate until it almost
drops to pieces. Now the post check
bill would have circulated but limit
ed time before some one would want
to send it by mail, and then its cir
culation would cease. 1t would be
taken in by the government, Cancelled,
and a new bill issued in it's place. The
post check currency would thus fur
nish a constant source Of clean money.
The slowness with which congress
takes hold of reform like this is due
probably not to lack of interest, but to
the fact that congress is choked with
bills Besides congress is a conserva-
tive body which has molly horror CT
fad legislation pushed by sentimental
committees. This reform may seem
to some congressman to come under
this very head, but it must be apparent
to every thinking man in either house,
that it is an exception to the many
kinds of schemes urged upon congress
in perfect faith, but which are not
workable.
This comes under the head Of facil-
itating business. 1t means simply re-
storing to men the time they now waste
in getting money orders and register
ing letters.

PERJURERS' MODEL.
Chicago Man Says "SmaI Fish" Should

CHICAGO, ILL.,, March 12.-George
Schilling, president of the board of 10
cal improvements, yesterday entered
with the civil service commission Il
novel plea for the exoneration of Side
walk Inspector William J. Haffner from
charges Of perjury. The plea is that
Haffner did only what a good many
senators, life insurance officials and tax
dodgers are doing every day with i'm
punity.
If Haffner, whom President Schilling
calls "a small fish," is punished, it
only will prove, he says
"Tis wrong to rob a henroost of a
hen,
But stealing largely, makes US gen

Inspector Haffner got into trouble
through his testimony in the trial Of
his superior, Chief Sidewalk Inspector
n. E. Murray, on the charge of mis-
conduct. He testified that he had never
solicited campaign contributions in the
department. Afterwards he admitted
he had sold tickets to county democ-

NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS.
THE SOUTH AND ITS HEROES

Some of those old gentlemen whom
all delight to honor, who make up the
rapidly decreasing number of defenders
of the Union, are seriously disturbed
matter of commemorating its great
civil war events and marking the rest
ing place of its heroes. There is 4
growing sentiment in those states,'
says Union veteran, which BODIES Ill
for the Union" This is an erroneous
view. The gentleman is actuated by
motives of patriotism which no one
can but admire, but the holding of such
view indicates a false conception of
the commemorative spirit of the south.
The south of today is loyal to the
Union. OF this there is no possible
doubt. The Spanish-American war gave
some evidence of it, and more would be
forthcoming if occasion for its display
should arise.
To suppose that when the southern
people erect a monument to a beloved
leader, or to the general memory of
those who fell in the confederate SER
vice, it necessarily indicates disloyalty
is to harbor an erroneous idea. In the
city of Memphis there is a new park
being laid out that will be known as
Confederate park. and in time, no
doubt. will have a monument COM
memorative of the confederate soldier.
This does not mean disloyalty. Rather.
if one sees it in the true light it shows
an underlying sentiment that is of the
best in humanity. These monuments
are not to be taken as representing con-
tinued hostility to the Union, or as de-
sire on the part of the southern people
to faunt the old rebel flag. One does
not think of the confederacy when
looking at the monument to the south
ern leader in Lee circle in New Orleans,
out rather OF the man. Lee Was lIllS-
taken in his course and wrong in his
views, and there were millions like him.
He was a gentleman, great soldier,
and one of the finest types of American
manhood. General Grant so respected
him that he would not humble him By
receiving his sword when he surren.
dered and Grant knew a great man
when he saw one.
Every state and city in the south
had its men who went out to battle.
That they were fighters, no Union sol
der who met them on the field will
deny. Their cause was wrong. but their
bravery, if nothing more, is worthy of
memory.
So far as the safety of the Union IS
concerned, there is absolutely no harm
in the increasing number of confedeI-
ate monuments and commemorative
buildings arising in the south. Rather,
if one sees it in the right light, the
possession on the part of the southern
people of that spirit which prompts
them to revere the memory of fathers,
brothers and friends who fell in battle.
is only the expression in another form
of that Utmost feeling of intense az
tachment to things that are dear to the
heart, that, in time of national trouble,
will make the south the more loyal to
the zion and quicker to respond 20
