A USEFUL CITIZEN.

useful man to the town of Hyden and
it seems that the town would be at a

SENATE TALKS
OF ITS. RIGHTS
Bacon Says That it Has Power to
Control Heads of De-
partmentS.

Washington, Jan. I4-The author
ity of congress to direct heads of ex-
ecutive departments to send to the
senate or house information in their
possession was the subject of. an ex-
tended speech in the senate by SEN
ator Bacon of Georgia.
Mr. Bacon took the broad view
that congress has absolute power to
demand from heads of departments
any information within their posses
sion, and even to require them to
give reasons for their action or non
action on any matter coming before
them.
Senator Lodge questioned the pow
er of congress to demand papers on
file in diplomatic matters, and insist
ed upon the right of the president to
exercise discretion in such matters.
Senator Hale declared that he did
not believe that the president intend
ed to state in his message to con-
greSs that he would not furnish dOcu-
ments and information, but merely
that he declined to permit cabinet
officer 90 furnish reasons for the &C
tiCn he had taken.
Senators Fulton, Teller, Clapp.
Money and others joined in the de-
bate, all of them upholding the power
of the senate in the matter under
consideration.

Specia, to Times Republican.
Iowa City March s.--"On the whole,
a young man gets better associations
at college than he probably would at
home" said Judge Emlin McClain. Of
the Iowa supreme bench, in a paper
mere before the Political Science Club.
on The Educated Man; What He Is
Good For
The social side of a mans life is de-
veloped by a college education. The
anxious parent worries about the
temptations besetting young man who
goes to college. but he is blind to the
dangers besetting him at home were
the statements of the jurist preceding
the above statement.
The educated man is worth while
because he is more efficient in the di-
rection which concerns the public well
fare His period of efficiency is, in
general. heightened. and his influence
is greater toward the betterment Of
society And. finally, education gives
increased resources for individual hap
piness. which leads to contentment."

A high SCHOOL BANK
School Superintendent at STRAIT

Scheme
TEACHERS AND PUPILS TO SAVE
Parents of Residents Ask to Cooper
ate With Children in Teaching Them
Value of Saving the Pennies-First
of Its Kind in Iowa-News Of the
State.
,ecial to Times Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Boone, March 3.--Probably the only
high school bank in Iowa has been es-
tablished at Stratford, a small town
north of Boone G. w Remsburg, prin-
cipal of the school, is the promoter.
The purpose of starting this bank
is to teach the school children of the
town to begin early in life to save
money. The idea is one peculiar to
Professor Remsburg alone and his
bank IS bound to attract much atten
ton over the country. Accounts may
be started with a penny and as an In
ducement to the children to save, the
professor promises to add to each
childs account which is over so cents
at the close of the school year.
The parents of the children are urged
to encourage the pupils to save their
small change. yet they are not asked to
give them money. The idea which
Professor Remsburg hopes to carry out
is that each child who puts anything
in the high school bank shall have
earned the money himself. The plan at
the close of the school year is to de-
post the money of the high school
bank in the towns bank, thus giving
to school children an actual account in
real business banking institution.
Professor Remsburg outlines his plans
as follows:
Realizing the Importance of the
principle early in life to begin to
save" we have established the STRAIT
ford High School Bank, where at
school children may deposit their pen
MES. Nels Sandell has been selected as
president and Miss Florence Rodine,
cashier. At the close of the school year
we will go with all the pupils, who
have SO cents or more, and see to its
deposit in the State Bank of STRAIT
ford"
