Des Moines, Sept. 5.-Judge S. F.
Prouty returned from Kansas City.
where he attended the festivities in
honor Of Col. Theodore Roosevelt, feel
ing that there need be no longer any
discussion as which side Of the game
Colonel Roosevelt IS on. At the big
Baltimore banquet they had a song
which ended up something like the
following:
His hearts all right, good and true.
He's an insurgent thru and thru
Teddy"
When Colonel Roosevelt came to his
feet he remarked regarding this song
that ne had TO doub, it was for the
purpose Of definitely locating him i
his affiliations
Il: you just change the word in
sursert' 10 progressive then the state
men, viii be correct in every part.cu-
ar" said Colonel Roosevelt.
And this statement Of his position
was accepted with much pleasure by
the progTessives present.
Al effort is being made on behalf
u the building ard loan associations 70
secure some ruling on one phase OF the
law Which has always been a matter
Of controversy. They claim that il IS
nor necessary 70 incorporate under the
general incorporate laws Of The state
but merely 10 comply WIKI The special
laws governing them. This view has
never been accepted by state officials
and they have been compelled 10 file
under the general law just as banks
and Insurance companies do Officers
o. The Cedar Rapids Building and Loan
Association are insisting upon a re-
newal o the company charter without
paying the fling fee. but thus far the
state officers have not found il possi-
Die 70 do SO.

leans are concerned. viii lag until la.e
