Roosevelt on Sewage.

Cedar Rapids Republican,: Speaking
In Chicago the other day, Col. Roose
welt said:
We claim to be Civilized people
and civilized people ought to know
how to dispose of the sewage in some
other way than by putting 1t into the
drinking water. We need action by
both the state and tie nation to put
a complete stop to the pollution OF the
great lakes--action by the state so far
as our own boundary Is concerned and
/ action by the nation because other
states besides our own are Interested
This is the doctrine that We have
been advocating here in Iowa for sew
eral years. The cities of tits state
have been using the rivers for dump.
ing grounds for all their filth Then
the next city down the line pumps the
water out of the river and distributes
it for drinking water.
An end must come of this uncivil-
lied manner OF taking care of sew
age. We have only few streams and
instead of keeping them wholesome
We have made back Yards OF them. 1t
goes on not only in the cities. but also
In the country. Refuse and dead anil
mails are thrown into the creeks
where they are dissolved and carried
down stream, for other people and
other animals to drink the dissolu-
tion. We nmst put an end to such
practices. both in the country and In
the cities and towns.
The animal that dies iii the country
must be burned or buried. not
dragged down to the creek. The sew
ace of the cities must be destroyed in
septic tanks, not thrown into the
rivers.
The time is coming wren we will
guard the water wavs as we are now
the milk cans. II impure
water makes imnure milk. how shall
we say that water that flows through
the SIM for a few miles is thereby
purified?

Deposit Guaranty FaiIinu.

Buffalo News: Oklahoma has stop
ped talking of the beauty of deposit
guaranty. The state law is working
out in the way predicted by all who
have at least a primitive knowledge
of banking and human nature. 1t is
fast losing favor and state banks are
going back in the quietest manner
to become national banks. Friends
and foes alike have ceased agitation
of the subject. 1t is settling itself.
The guaranty fund has been depict
ed in Oklahoma. The fellows that got
in the most money and soonest fail
ed did the smartest trick of their
lives for they got the money in the
guaranty fund. Now the state does
not close other decayed banks be-
cause there is no money collected
from the sound institutions to make
good the debts OF the rotten ones if
they were to be treated as they
ought to be.
When the question of location of
the state capitol was up last June an
effort was made TO get national
bank in Oklahoma City behind a
weak state bank that ought to be
closed. The plea was made that it
would hurt the chances of that city
if state bank were to fail at that
time because it would be claimed to
be put up job to prejudice the sys-
TEN. to which many of the unthink-
ing, or the selfish are attached. To
save the situation some of the ma
t!onal banks did finally take some of
the paper of the weak state bank
and hush up the case for the time
being.
Business men in Oklahoma find
that the state, which is in fact but
another name for set of partisan
public servants, will not impartially
enforce the law and close banks real
ly unfit to do business. 1t looks to
see If there is the money in hand to
pay off the depositors of failed
banks. When the guaranty fund is ex-
hausted 1t breads forcing sound
banks to make up the fund and thus
distrust has been occasioned and
men of good sense decline to do
business with state banks. The entire
guaranty system is simply a thing
with which to play politics.
Deposit guaranty is only one Of the
schemes tried by Oklahoma as a
foretaste OF the millennium. The mer-
it of Oklahoma in the business is
that it tries out the system fully and
thus serves as a warning to other
states, because the system itself
stands on false foundation. Good
bankers will never consent to stand
for the debts of bad bankers, with
no limit placed on the kind of men
who may be engaged in the banking
business of the state and no control
over them conceded to the organized
body of state bankers, or the state
department itself, no minimum OF
capital required and hardly any over
sight. It is a matter of course that
the national system should regain
its former position in the business
life OF Oklahoma.

generation as good mothers. Men, as

provides that no trout or salmon
taken through the ice shall be offered
for sale. This is pretty we'll lived up
to by the native fishermen, but there
have been instances where an ambi.
tious fisherman who has had poor luck
has been forced to enter into some
quiet negotiations and as result has
carried home well filled basket to
exhibit to his friends.
For this ice fishing sport the ma
jorfty prefer the early season. when
the ice has Just formed, and the work
of cutting the fish holes with the
heavy Ice chisel is easy. For the
early corners. the conditions at the
present time are ideal. The big lake
closed in late this winter. in fact
nothing but the smaller coves In Lake
Winnipisseogee were frozen over pre-.
vious to Christmas day
The fishing grounds are not con.
fined to any one section of the big
lake. For convenience in the way of
railroad and hotel accommodations,
perhaps this city. The Weirs, and
Meredith. receive the larger number
Of visitors during the season. A large
number also put up at Alton Bay.

These houses are fitted up in a
most comfortable manner, with stoves,
hunks and the like. With the little
trap door in the center Of each house
open. and the lines passing down
through the hole cut in the ice, the
winter fisherman takes things easy,
smokes his pipe or samples the bait,
and waits for the bite that is pretty
sure to come. Farther out on the lake,
where some OF the natives will tell
you that the best fishing is, these
comfortable bob houses" are out OF
question to a certain extent. Here the
house gives way to a wind break

Season Opened on January list
and Continues to June.
Law OF on Trout and Salmon In New
Hampshire and Lake Winni.
plsseogee Welcomes Many
Visitors,

Laconia. NJ 1.-The season for Ice
fishing on Lake Winnipisseogee and
the smaller lakes and ponds in this
vicinity, is now on. The open season
on both trout and salmon began on
January and will continue until
next June. To many fishermen the
greater amount of sport In the taking
OF these fish comes with the opening
OF the Ice fishing season.
During the past ten years there has
been a large increase in the number
Of fishermen that come to the Winni-
pisseogee region for this kind Of
sport. From the time the big lake
first freezes over until the trolling
season opens in the spring, the Ice
fisherman is decidedly in evidence. He
is decidedly welcome. for during two
or three months he scatters many
dollars in paying for guides. hotel
quarters. camps and the like.
While the greater portion Of the ice
fishermen come singly. large parties
are sometimes organized and the more
commodious camps are engaged for
two or three weeks at a time. 1t Is
then that there is plenty Of activity
at the fishing grounds. wherever they
may locate. In past years some enor.
nous catches have been taken to the
cities at the end Of one of these mid
winter visits. In measure. however,
the last session Of the legislature put
stop to the wholesale slaughter, by
passing law that specified the num-
Der and weight OF fish that can be
