the importance Of having directors
who would direct and all urged great
er publicity OF bank affairs. An almost
unanimous sentiment favored more
publicity Tor bank statements as a
safeguard.
Big business had its representatives
there to knock against Roosevelt but
the bankers of Iowa stood with their
president. Shaws protege, Armstrong.
said to be bidding for a fat job in a
Standard Oil bank, made an address
criticising railroad rate regulation and
censuring the president for his sensa-
tienal exposures of Standard Oil and
packing house iniquities, but the bank
err from TT Madison who praised the
president drew the loudest applause
And when representatives of the I'm
ion stockyards bank introduced a res
olution of censure for the president
because he had made public the pack
ing house report, the bankers of Iowa
promptly sat down upon it.
One of the most notable tests of
public sentiment was exhibited in the
resolution passed unanimously favor
ing state supervision for all banks.
Heretofore private bankers have had
sufficient influence to head off action
of this kind and in the state legislature
they have been able to prevent any
legislation looking to that end. They
were present at Cedar Rapids in large
numbers. too, but they did not raise
word of protest The private banker
himself has become educated to state
supervision. The strongest of them,
those who have the least to fear, are
voluntarily Incorporating and placing
their institutions in the limelight of
state examination and publicity. The
change of sentiment thus exhibited
among the bankers OF the state associa-
ton ought to make it easy for the
next legislature to pass the necessary
legislation that will make the word
bank stand for something in the
state of Iowa.

is estimated to gross about S400 per
acre or $500 for the entire crop. The
expense of raising the berries and
bringing them to their present state of

this crop will place Mr.. Featherstone

WEBSTER City Freeman ribune.1
1t is a significant fact that nearly all
the progressive and wideawake towns
of Iowa have gone for Gov. Cummins
and that the dead ones are still in the
grip of Blythe. Take Iowa City, as
dead as a town can be and still remain
among the living, is solid for Perkins,
while hustling, bristling, lively Water
loo is Cummins hotbed. Poor old
sleepy Cedar Falls that never shows
any signs of life except when asking
for an appropriation for the state
normal school, did get lively on the
day Of the primary and cast more
votes than We're cast for Roosevelt
and Parker combined, and of course it
went for Perkins. Mason City, one Of
the thriving, growing and prosperous
towns of the state, is a Cummins
stronghold, while dead old Council
Bluffs, which has been among the "has
beens' for quarter of a century, was
carried by Blythe. Fort Dodge, another
growing town of much promise, is
solid behind the governor while Bur
ington, Muscatine, and Keokuk. all
back numbers, are still lulled into
slumber by the siren voice of the rail-
road circus manager Ottumwa, really
the only live town in southern Iowa,
is Overwhelmingly for Cummins. while
sleepy old Fort Madison has not yet
shown sufficient life to know what is
going on and is counted sure for Per-
kins. OF course Des Mones, Cedar
Rapids and Sioux City are all good
towns and each is loyal to it's home
