fact from every part of the home. There

country than that at Mount Holly. Es-
pecial attention has been paid to the
poultry department and special silver cups

Burglars were not molested In theil
search for valuables at the home OF X
Shannon Haines on Union street, anC
there were no neighbors in the double house
to hear the noise and give an alarm. Wher
Mr. Haines' son came in from the farm
with milk Sunday morning, he found the
kitchen door wide open and saw that {
latch had been pried off a side window
with jimmy, showing how the intruder
effected an entrance and the manner O.
their leaving. The topsy-turvey condi
ton of the house told its own story. Mr.
Shannon and wife went to Florence on
visit Saturday afternoon, but they sool
returned to Mount Holly after being no
tilted of the robbery. They found miss
ing gold and silver watch, some gol'
coins. gold mounted pencil, earrings an,
some iewelry that had been family he'll

identity is unknown, ate good meal be

the Judge and this may include power
everywhere to suppress the decree as
we'll as the evidence and to seal the
whole record file so that It never can
be examined by the public. That
practice has prevailed In New York
City for long time. though It was
not brought to general public notice
until census ofiicials sent by President
Roosevelt to obtain statistics Of di.
vorce found themselves confronted in
New York with sealed records in
locked safes. These cases are invari.
ably those Of rich and prominent fam.
lilies. or persons possessing an equal
influence with the courts. This Is a
shameful abuse for protection OF privi.
legged classes OF law strained from
the original purpose Of protecting pub
Tic morals. It Is one thing to prevent
demoralizing recital In open court and
another to cover up evil whose exam.
pie would be wholesome to society.
The cause OF public morals Is not
aided but injured by allowing persons
Of wealth and station concealment Of
vices which are ruthlessly exposed
when practiced by humber persons.
There can be no reason for this dis.
elimination but some form OF bribe.

ily be broken up In secret while the
frailties Of John Smith and his wife
are exposed to the public and spread
upon the record unless It IL because
they pay for the privilege? These sc.
cret records are kept with peculiar
care and. like the secret archives Of

THAT COMMISSION ON COUNTRY
LIFE.

All over this country the conditions
of farm life have taken on a new In.
terest. Such men as James ]. Hill
have been stating important II unwel.
come truths about the conditions OF
food supply. These have shown even
the urban people that the problem OF
farm development comes close home
to them. The government has had
Commission on Country Life. which
has made important suggestions upon
how to keep the farm population up
to an eflicient level The commission
found. for one thing. that there was q
deficient social environment on the
farm which tended to make young
people quit It and 60 to the towns.
But this II not all. An educator. Pres.
ident Beard OF the Iowa Teachers Al.
sociation. has found that very young
people. children In fact. are sent from
the farm to be educated In the city
schools. OF these there were $4,000
in that State last year who paid tut
tion OF $4,000. and other expenses
which he estimates at a million more
This depletion OF the rural school at.
tendance results from two causes. the
actual loss Of farm population. and the
emigration to the town schools. From
the report of the State Superintendent
Mr.. Beard quotes these facts about a
number OF school districts In Iowa:
Nine schools had two pupils each;
80 an enrolment OF three: 1877 an an.
rollment OF Ave; 432 an enrolment Of
ten. Out OF such schools he considers
II impossible to get stimulus for either
teacher or pupil. Children are gregari.
Gus. Nothing cOmpensates the child
for the absence OF companionship.
Hence these graveyard schools. where
there are not enough pupils to organ.
ize a game, must nightly disgust chill
dren with rural life. The child de-
mands comradeship. and II he Is
taught from his earliest conscious
years that 1t cannot be had on the
farm. he will. when he grows up. seek
II elsewhere. II Is then too late to
implore him to stay on the farm. He
should have been taught, through the
best schools and the best teaching, to
enjoy the farm from the start What
President Beard asks, and 1t is not an
unreasonable demand. Is that the farm
child be given as good school. but
not the same kind, az the town child,
and that, above all, he be brought In
contact with sufficient number OF his
neighbors to make school life attract.
i've and bright.

PROTECTING THE PEOPLES
MONEY.

A stringent State law 10 needed to
regulate the establishment Of banks.
There are too many wildcat financial
schemes now In existence In Chicago.
Not wishing to compete with the Dig
banks, irresponsible people are starting
up small banks In the outlying districts
Of Chicago, from time to time. This
practice has had disastrous results
upon the business and financial inter.
ests Of the entire city. Many hundred
small business men and traders have
been ruined by this class Of institu.
tlOns.
This nefarious practice should be
stopped and the only way to stop It Is
by municipal legislation.
A provision ought to be made In the
city charter authorizing the city under
its police power to regulate the estab.
lishment Of banks aud creating In
pursuance Of this work a board for
the examination Of all proposed new
banking concerns. Such board
should be given ample power to exam.
Inc into the financial standing y; the
promoters Of these institutions, and
none should be allowed to be licensed
unless such az could show assets ample
for the carrying on Of their business.
sufficient to cover the amount Of their
deposits, and sound and substantial
enough to thoroughly protect their
dep0sitOrs.
There can be no question as to the
right and the Justice Of the city to
exercise such power under properly
constructed charter provision. II the
city has the right to regulate plumb.
ers. to regulate engineers, to regulate
the electrical business. to regulate pawn.
brokers and the scores OF other busl.
ness enterprises and industries over
which 1t exercises unquestloned super.
vlsing powers. II certainly has a per
feet right to regulate the banking bust.
ness, which Ia of far more Importance
than anything In the line of business
In the city. because upon the legitimate
and honest business methods Of these
institutions depends the welfare Of the
entire city In Its business and CONNER
cial life. while methods Of contrary
kind INDUCED in by small, irresponsible
speculative concerns only results In
failures that involve injuriously the In.
terests Of the entire community. How
often have we seen It that the failure
Of one OF these little banks. started
upon Insecure and irresponsible founda.
tiOns, and doomed by fraudulent and
false representations, have dragged
down to ruin hundreds Of good. hard.
working, thrifty and deserving citizens
The licenses issued by the examin.
Ing board, which, Of course, should be
composed OF responsible citizens and
able hnanciers. should be OF q charac-
ter that would be absolutely prohibi.
tive OF all schemes and projects for the
establishment Of phony concernc OF this
kind.
This would be welcomed by all sound
