IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

The Oskaloosa Herald says: Judge
Lindsey says that In his estimation
poverty is the chief cause for crime,
that most Of those who get into the
courts are poor and ignorant. The
homo is infinitely more responsible
than the school, and no doubt the fact
that mothers have to so out to help
earn the living and thus leave the
children to take care OF themselves
has much to do with 1t. Judge Lind
sey does not think the public schools
to blame, but finds that as large a
proportion of cases from parochial
schools get into the courts as from
the public schools"

$4,000 will be the limit of favor

"But spenders aching to increase this

HOBson,s WAR SCARE.

CAPTAIN Hobson of chautauqua fame,
Marshalltown and gave it a most dra-
matte exposition in debate with
Preacher Cadman, also of chautauqua
reputation. The captain is spell
binder. He has mouth just like Bry-
ans and he sways an audience with
sophistry much as Bryan did with his
free silver doctrines in '96. DR.. Cad
man, a hard headed Englishman, can
see the unsoundness of the captains
war scare and he gets out Of patience
with the man who is making the
harangue but he makes the same mis-
take in attempting to reply with ridi-
Guile that many other strong men made
in '96 when they undertook to meet
Bryan's sophistries by calling him a
demagog. They found that they must
study the money question and educate
the people as to Bryan's unsoundness
and DR.. Cadman, II he makes sue
cess Of his reply to Hobson on this war
scare, must get down to business and
show up the extravagances Of Hob
son's startling statements.
Captain Hobson tells his audiences
with every assurance of being fortified
with inside information that the Japan
csc are flooding the Hawaiian Islands
and the Pacific slope with hundreds of
thousands Of trained Japanese soldiers
who emigrate as private citizens but
who form social clubs upon arrival and
thru those clubs maintain their mill
tary organization intact, ready for use
in making an attack upon the United
States. The Sunday editor of the New
York Journal could not make a better
story and the reader is depressed and
discouraged at the inbecility of our
own military authorities who would
thus permit the enemy to invade our
Notifications without a word Of pro-
test.
The captain argues that every city
we have on our coasts Is in danger
Of being destroyed by the Dread
naughts of other nations because we
have not built as many Dreadnaughts
as all other nations combined. He says
that we must have two navies, one in
largest of any other country. before we
will be safe from destruction. He then
shows how easy Japan could send her
fleet over here, destroy the cities on
the Pacific slope and occupy that
whole country with her soldiers.

Four rooms downstairs and FIVE
rooms upstairs are worked into this
design. which has width of &c feet
six inches and length Of Al feet six
inches, exclusive OF the porch. Some
families require FIVE bedrooms, some
thing that is difficult to provide In a
medium sized house without squeezing
them so small that you haven't room
for set Of furniture or space enough
for necessary ventilation.
In this plan there are two stairways.
one going up from the front hall and
the other from the kitchen. Under the
front stair is good sized closet to
keep overcoats, rugs and good many
things that are not in regular use all
the time, great convenience, as every
housekeeper will testify. A closet like
this does away with the necessity for a
hall hatrack, piece Of furniture that
should have been discarded a good
many years ago. 1t usually is insight
,ly because of the way 1t is generally
cluttered up with an unnecessary as
sortment of wearing apparel The
other stairway is a combination which
reaches from the cellar to the upper
bedrooms.
The grade door at the side of the
house makes a handy outside entrance
to the cellar, convenience that is
very much appreciated, especially
where a good garden supplies fruit and
vegetables for the family. A grade en-
trance to the cellar saves great deal
Of tramping through the kitchen, very

soil from the garden adheres to ones

THE "soRRowlNG" CASHIER AGAIN.

Instances Of embeZzling bank OIL
ficials develop few details different
from their predecessors. That of Ralph
Aldrich, late cashier Of the Farmers
Savings bank of Huxley. Is an illus
tration of this. He is but "a years OF
age and had a young wife and child
His position in the bank was good
one but he wanted, not unlike many
young men. to get rich quickly.
But the fact that he was married,
had a good position for his years. and
was paid enough salary on which to
support himself and family and was
comparatively young in his position,
seems to give the case an unusual as
pect If he had been an older man
who had not been given advancement
after wears of service, or had been out
stripped in an expected promotion by
some one whom he thought less de-
serving than himself, his temptation
to borrow" the bank funds to risk on
wheat, corn and oats would be more
readily understandable.
He seems to have been unusually
weak when the moment OF inclination
to steal came to him. He was in po-
sition to handle the funds of the bank
ing house without let or hindrance,
apparently, for when he took money
and lost 1t in speculation he had no
trouble in getting more temporary
loans" from the bank. The amounts
he took he concealed by certificates OF
deposit on which the signature of the
president of the bank was forged ana
which were not entered on the bank
books.
When an investigation was made 1t
appears that things did not look right
and Aldrich resigned, altho how the
examination failed at once to reveal
the shortage is not plain. When 1T was
ascertained that $4,000 was missing
Aldrich was arrested at Springfield,
ILL.,, where he was travelling as a real
estate agent. He was very remorseful
of the disgrace which he knew was
overtaking his wife and children.
Aldrich furnishes pitiable example
of fall at such youthful age. He
seems to have been well situated to
make fine success Of his career If he
had but been imbued with a little firm
er character Not one young man in
1000 at "a years of age has as desir-
able position as young Adrich had,
but he was dissatisfied and wanted to
be rich in a minute. SO overreached
himself.

boots in spite of every precaution.
A door like this should always be
fitted with an outside fy-screen door
in summer and storm door in winter.
By making the fy-screen door frame
heavy and having 1t we'll braced, the
same door will answer both purposes
by having loose panels to screw on
over the wire netting in the fall. 1t is
no more work to put on the panels and
to take them off than to change the
doors, and the expense is much less.
The front stair is made of red oak
with one and one-half inch treads neat
" housed into the stringers and round
ed with smooth, neat finish, but
without unnecessary fancy work
When carefully put up the stair is an
attractive piece of cabinet work that
adds very much to the appearance of
the house. An open stair well con-

old-fashioned parlor to drop entirely
out of use. Every housekeeper likes
to have one room that may be fixed
up as nicely as possible, where they
can shut the door to keep the children
out If they want to and have it in good
order for state occasions. In such
houses the sitting-room becomes a
democratic institution. 1t usually is
we'll lighted, as in this case, and 1t Is
in the center of the. house where 1t Is
warm and comfortable in winter. This
sitting-room is 10 by Is feet, which is
big enough to accommodate a number
of comfortable easy chairs and table
for reading lamp with shelf under
meath to hold papers and magazines.
Instead of the old-fashioned couch,
the sitting-room should be furnished
with window seats upholstered to fit
the place. There are all kinds of win
dow seats; some are broad and CON-
Portable, while others are narrow and
look stingy. Some are literally sup
piled with thick, comfortable looking
pillows, while others have one or two
skinny little things that have been
used by the children for playthings
until clean covers would seem abso-
lutely necessary, but such little details
fall to the housekeeper and there are
all kinds.
Some women will make very COM
mon room attractive and pleasant,
while others will spoil the best house
you can put them in. Generally speak
ing, however, American women are
quick to see the possibilities of fix
ing up a good house to make it COM
Portable and attractive. The first
requisite is to select the proper plan,
then to watch the building operations
to see that all the details are properly
worked up to make each room right
when finished. A great deal of good
building material has been wasted by
not securing a good plan to start with
and also by leaving the details to men
who have no personal interest in the
house when finished.
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1908-07-24

structed and nicely finished is large
part of the furnishing of the front part
of the house 1t is better to put lit
tie extra expense on the front stair
and save that much in movable furni-
ture.
There is only one chimney neces-
sary in this house, but that is a good
big one. 1t answers for the furnace,
the kitchen range and two CRATES, one
in the dining-room and one in the bed
room over the dining-room.
A crate in a bedroom is a splendid
thing in time of sickness. Nothing
will brighten up a sick room like a
crate fire and nothing else will venti-
late room so thoroughly. The gentle
draft up chimney caused by a crate
fire is the best air purifier ever intro
duced into house.
