total investment will amount to $780,
600 If an experienced and successful
set of interurban men believe that the
road will be able to pay interest on
100000 of bonds and ten per cent dvi-
dends on the equity, they must invest
$3.50 900 in cash in the enterprise. They
might get a tax voted for 100000 of
it and it would be good business to sell
$15O,000 of stock to local investors, but
the interurban men should come in
with at least 100000 of their own
money to show their faith in the en-
terprise and their right to confidence
in their business Judgment This is
about the distribution of holdings in
the organization of other large enter
prises and it will build interurbans.

to command heed for its warning
among the brewers of Davenport. I'm

them that continued violation of the

down upon their heads and While a

would close saloons in other counties

the brewers are willing to boycott the

A HOT HOUSE MAN.
(Raristar and I.eadnrl

The youth Who a few days ago, was
peremptorily ordered to leave a vest
ern military academy by fellow cadets
has not received the sympathy to
which. by the peculiar nature of his
hereditary misfortune, he is entitled.
The young man possesses those too
common traits which, long ago. sug-
gested to his associates the odious APP
pellation of "The Perfect Young
Lady" When the lad escaped irrev-
erent tormenters of his public school
days by leaving home to attend board
ing school. he did not know that he
had chosen the most unhealthful en-
vironment for an effeminate soul that
might be found in protracted search
over the world. He found that out
later when his thoughtless red-blood-
ed associates of academic instincts
learned that a new "mollycoddle"
had come to school.
Charity should draw curtain over
the experiences of the immaculate
young person during the few weeks
in which he remained at the board
ing school. Anyone who understands
the ways of masculine adolescence
will not require a detailed account of
the specific fortunes which We're espe-
cially designed for the education of
the unsophisticated student. 1t is
only necessary to state that the cadets
took him in hand and tried to make a
man of him after the methods which
have been in existence since youth
has lived in the world. Thousands of
boys have survived similar courses of
training. and have learned their les
sons we'll enough to help with the in
strlction of other meek-eyed. tmd
little fellows But the youth who was
asked to go home had been trained
wrong from the beginning. AT in

"ChurcAlgoers don't sleep in church.

THE WIDOW HOLDS THE SACK.

The poor widow who put the only
money she had in a bank at Green
Mountain and lost it when the bank
failed. took what has been termed a
which wisdom and experience has
taught MS to enact, the school district
OF Marshalltown would have required
that bank to put up collateral of some
kind TO secure the deposits of public
money The county's money would
have been secured, so would the state
or the money of the federal govern
neut, and yet if the public money
should have been lost, We could always
have got more by levying some more
taxes, while the widow has lost her
entire fortune With nowhere from
which to recover.
Now, If it is wise to secure deposits
of public funds in banks, and none OF
us will deny that It is, why is not the
individual entitled to security for his
deposits? In all the years that have
interviewed from the establishment of
the present banking law to the present
day, the total loss to depositors in ma
tional banks has averaged each year
less than one twenty-fifth of one per
cent of the deposits Some years It
has gone so low els one thousandth of
one per cen. and yet when a loss did
strike some widow the blow was Il ter
rible one to bear.
Every bank in the United States,
national, state, savings and private,
could be compelled to insure its de-
posits at an expense so small as to
n.ount practically to nothing at all.
An initial deposit of onehalf of one
per cent of their deposits would es-
tablish fund from which losses could
be paid with only an occasional as
sessment No widow would ever lose
a cent put in d bank. No individual
need ever be afraid of a bank. When
banks failed ne would get MS Cash
from the insurance fund. No banker
need ever fear run. No timid person
need ever hide money under q tree or
in an old stove. The examination by
the insurance department would be
more thorough. Stockholders could be
required to secure with collateral the
double liability they assume i'll owning
bank stock The weakness of the Am
erican system of independent small
banks would be overcome by a co-or
tlination of bank assets in the guaran-
tee to depositors without destroying
the independence of the local banker by
syndicate or branch banking systems.

LIMITING HOURS A MENACE.
lEnnda Timesl


Possibly the worst menace to the
prosperity of this country at the pres
ent time is the effort being made by
semblies to regulate the hours OF
labor of the men in different walks
of life. noticeably those in the en-
ploy Of corporations. This has the
effect Of greatly increasing the cost
of service and creating an artificial
value for the labor thus effected.
In the end this will prove a boomer
rang. as 1t will deprive many COM
munities Of needed accommodations
and further enhance the cost to the
consumer of services Of various
kinds. One evidence of this trend is
plainly seen in the decision of the
railroad companies to cut out tele-
graph offices at their small stations,
owing to the fact that photographers
after March 1st in the employ of rail-
ways cannot be compelled to work
longer that eight hours. The rail-
roads cannot be blamed for discon-
tinuing such service in the smaller
offices and it would not be surprising
Il they would find within short
time that they can install telephone
ic service which will practically elm
mate the telegrapher. No one can
blame the telegraphers for desiring
shorter hours, as the hours of work
have been undeniably long. but we
do not believe that they are respon-
sible for the legislation which has
been passed. The hand Of almost
every man has been against the pub

PROTECTION FOR NEwLywEDs.

RAILWAYS sometimes do commendable
things One of the latest entitled TO
place in that class is the issuance OF an
executive order by the Chicago &
Northwestern prohibiting the throwing
of rice, old shoes and other missiles at
bridal couples boarding the company's
trains. The officials announce that the
order will be strictly enforced.
Rice and discarded footwear have
been popular accomplishments to the
adieus extended blushing brides and
embarrassed bridegrooms departing on
their honeymoon. AS a means of ad-
vertising 10 depot loafers and fellow
passengers the fact that a wedding had
taken place, the showers were ex-
celled only by the more barbarouS GUS

The Northwestern management is to
be commended. Altfo their plans for a
"honeymoon special to the coast
failed to prove attractive, this new or
der ought to make their line popular
among the newlyweds and force COM
peting railways to issue similar edicts
as o means of preserving their own
