OF course poll of any one class
or group of men is likely to prove
misleading, but there is one feature
of this poll that seems to The Ban
ner to be rather striking and that is
the strength among the Democrats of
Champ Clark AS the Democratic
canvass proceeds, 1t is evident that
there is a considerable degree of bit
terness between the adherents of
Harmon and Wilson and II would not
be strange If Clark should prove the
compromise candidate acceptable to
both factions. He comes from the
middle west and midway between the
north and the south He is big.

takes and is great enough to admit it,
but his mistakes are those Of frank
openness of character and not due to
intrigue and sinister motive. The
country has had plenty of worse
presidents than Champ Clark of Mis-

BANK AND BUSINESS PROSPERITY.

Nothing better attests the soundness of busi-
ness conditions in community than the sound
ness OF it's bank Wildcat business and wild
4 bank prospers because the community in
which it does business is prosperous, Much
depends upon the conduct of the bank, 1t is
true. Conservatism in conjunction with the
right kind OF progressiyism hard business
sense correct Judgment of human nature and
hard conscientious work will make a bank
successful If there be room for that bank and
II the people prosperous. Without pros
perity and proht-making business houses banks
cannot flourish in numbers, The substantial
basis of every bank is the prosperity of the
people who are its customers.
When banks are prosperous when they in
crease in numbers and i'll the amount OF bust
ness transacted; when deposits increase. there
fore. the community is prosperous-not pros
porous because of the number and stability of
the banks but the banks grow in number and
in deposits because the people are making good
in their work and in their business.
This being true. Virginia has cause For self
congratuation that in the last seventeen years
deposits have increased fourfold; that the
number of banks have increased from So to
247, most OF them successful; that surplus and
profits are about three times what they were
the overdrafts have scarcely increased the
capital stock has increased from six and half
million to ten and a quarter million: the total
footings OF the balance sheet nearly three
times what they were in 1885.
Nirginia's prosperity is sound. II has not
taken upward leaps in the night to drop with
the end of the day, but has increased gradually
and steadily giving promise OF similar and
increase in the future.

HIS RECORD SPEAKS FOR HIM.

A great part of the Third Term party plat
form adopted at Chicago is filled with prom
ises that never he kept for the simple
reason that they deal with questions exclus-
lively within the jurisdiction OF the States,
Many of the reforms suggested in this plat
fern good but after eliminating those
which can be adopted only by the States and
disregarding those which are endorsed merely
fer campaign purposes TO catch votes and
which Mr. Roosevelt has no idea Of seeking
to enact into Law. We have very little of mo-
ment left and most OF it bad.
OF the many mertorous proposals in the
Roosevelt platform OF them relate to
conditions surrounding working women and
children, Many promises of relief that can
not be kept are made. Against these barren
promises is the record of Governor Wilson of
New Jersey--a record OF deeds. not words of
legislative achievements. not campaign bun
combe
The first Law for women ever enacted in
New JerseY~was put on the statute books dur
ing his administration as governor OF the
State This law limits the employment OF
working women to sixty hours week 1t does
not 20 far as it might but II is something
more than the women have ever before been
able to get in staid. conservative New Jersey
Other laws enacted for the protection OF
women are the employers liability act for the
benefit of women and children during disabil-
fly or after the death of the wage-earner; an
act making it obligatory to have matrons in
jails; first appropriation in New Jersey for
womans reformatory: provisions for the
Standardization OF the profession Of trained
nursing,
In the interest of children the laws are
more numerous and stringent Among these
ale laws prohibiting the employment of chill
dten during school hours and at night and
prohibiting the employment at night Of Hees-
senger boys under twenty-one years of age
In the interest of q better school system was
adopted law establishing special classes for
children three years below the normal and
special classes for blind children and other
provisions for its Improvement
Punishment for adults who encourage iuve-
nile delinquency: the establishment of juvenile
detention houses; provisions for parental
schools establishment OF juvenile courts;
more stringent laws governing wife-desertion,
and the prohibition OF the sale or furnishing
of tobacco TO minors are among others of his
progressive measures.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.--"In
gard of our natural resources, we have
not protected and conserved our child
life" was the declaration of Miss
Clara y. Noyes, general superinten-
dent of training schools of Bellevue
hospital, New York city. in an ad-
dress here today before the Inter

We have not recognized the mid

to time to eliminate her. always I'M

out adequate laws for control ano

"1n the United States in 1910 there
were f54.373 babies who died before
they were one year old
In facing this appalling early
slaughter of the innocent" said Miss
Noyes. we cannot ignore single
contributing factor. The conclusion
of the whole matter seems to lie in
intelligent motherhood Since this in
the case. and we are aware that fifty
per cent of all the births are at
tended by a class OF untaught and
unframed women, who as a rule. arc
densely ignorant and unspeakably
dirty, we are neglecting at the fonn
tain head the health and possible
wealth OF our nation. The midwife,
for whom no opportunity for educa-
ton has been provided. cannot be
expected to teach To mothers that
which she herself has never been
taught"
DR.. s. W. Newmayer. head of the
division OF child hygiene, bureau of
health. Philadelphia addressed the
congress on the same theme. and
again called the attention OF his
hearers to the great number of births
that are attended by either ignorant
midwives or students. Or. Newmayer
asserted that only about fifty per cent
of the births - this country are at
tended by reputable physicians.
Dr. Newmayer urged the employ
ment by all cities and towns o9
municipal visiting nurses who
should teach the prospective mother
the proper hygiene and care before
confinement and the care and feed
ing OF the baby after birth

DICKENS AS AN EDITORIAL WRITER.

Having suggested Voltare, McCaAley and
Swift as possessing the kind of talent that
would make them most valuable in modern
editorial writing, Golfers Weekly has received
the suggestion that Defoe and Dickens would
adorn the editorial tripod and make the edi-
torals of the newspaper that they might be
connected with exceedingly valuable and in
teresting Defoe foHi4r's rejects are an editorial
writer assigning him 10 special articles. but is
inclined 10 look with favor upon Dickens
His powers OF humorous delineaton of char

existing abuses would indeed make Dickens
valuable newspaper writer of today; but his
field would be ia descriptive articles on politi-

charm could be injected into articles OF the
