FAVOR BANKING REFORM.

The Davenport Commercial club at
a recent meeting adopted resolutions
recognizing that "a reform of the
present American banking and cur
rency laws Is a pressing necessity.
The resolutions go on to recite:
We favor q llan that will be fair
alike to all sections and classes and
free from control by any special in
tesests; system that will promote
the legitimate business of the eoun-
try and prevent recurring money
panics; that provides the nee
essary elasticity to currency and
credit which will meet legitimate de
mands at all times, and otherwise
place US on a par with our CONNER,
cial rivals in international commerce.
There is real need of some such
change as is proposed, and it Is en-
couraging to note that sentiment II
its favor is becoming widespread
What is wanted is the very best none
tary system that human understand
ing can evolve and commercial integ
rity sustain.

Advertising was declared to be one
of the biggest factors in commerce by
George Blumenstock, who spoke at the
monthly banquet of the Franklin
Avenue Improvement Association in
st. Louis few evenings ago. News
paper advertising was especially COM
mended by Mr.. Blumenstock, who told
OF many merchants who we're devoting
as high as 80 per cent of their adyer-
tising appropriation for newspaper
space exclusively. One OF the reasons
for this, he said, was the fact that adj
vertising is merely news. Persons
look to the papers for merchandise,
he said, "just as they do for other
news. The retailer and manufacturers
no longer ask Does Advertising Pay:
but What Kind of Advertising Pays
Best? They realize they must adj
vertise to keep their business alive

NO DELIBERATE JUDGMENT.

One thing has been amply demon
strated and that is that William n
Taft is no match for Theodore Roose-
welt when it comes to barking from
the rear end of the Pullman car
Barking is about all that it amounts
to in such campaigns. as the Cedar
Rapids Republican thus points out
There is not one man in ten OF AL
who shout themselves hoarse on such
occasions who hears word of what
the speakers say. Their cheers are
for the gestures and the movements
of the biggest mouth and the most
determined jaw When Roosevelt
spoke in Cedar Rspids mere were not
200 who could follow his argument,
there was so much noise and confu-
sion. That generally nolds true OF
such out door meetings It is just like
appealing to a mob down in Texas
when they want to lynch poor negro.
"A verdict on such campaign IS
not a deliberate judgment of people
The deliberate judgment is more like
ly to come in November, after the
peonla have had time to think 1t
over.

! WHAT HE FOUND.

When Harvey G.. Riggs of Quincy,
banker. business man, city booster ana
president of the Quincy Chamber OF
Commerce, returned from trip to
the larger cities of Oklahoma a few
days ago he brought back with him
an abiding belief that the sound, wide
awake cities in this part OF the Mis-
sissippi valley are the only kind for
him. His observations In Oklahoma
are thus summarized in an article in
the Kewanee Star-Courier:
..He had heard of Oklahoma City,
the wonder of the prairies. and he
went there. He saw tall buildings In
Oklahoma City-vacant; he saw
town lots beautifully laid out--miles
upon miles from the city: he saw
splendid city improven.sn,s-tax taxing
the property to death and he found
money so scarce that hard cash was
a curiosity. He saw good farming
land but none of it so good as that
which he looked upon in Illinois. He
came to the opinion that while Okla

will eventually. be great state. yet

Alfred Henry Lewis in Hearst's
MAGAZINE: AS Mr.. Roosevelt goes
reaching for nomination, and, per
incident, the overthrow of Mr.. Taft,
mankind-occupying the political
bleachers-will be treated to much
that is ruthless, much to admire. The
proceedings will possess little to re-
mind one of a pink tea. Mr. Roose-
welt, even under relaxed conditions, is
not a pink tea personality. Fighting
for an empire, he will be less SO than
ever.
To Mr. Roosevelt, the world breaks
into two classes, followers and foes
At that, he doesn't lead; he drives and
walks behind his people so as to make
them fight beneath his eye. Let one
show weakness and he drums him out

an unflinching egotism that never

Roosevelt is another Aaron Burr
Formed to crush rather than to con
ciliate. he will never fail nor find de

will run no risks that he can force this
foe to take. He likes mountains, de
lights in precipices. Mountains weet

never overestimates foe. Therein
lies the golden secret of all military
success. Never overestimate the en-
envy. Underestimate him. To overes-
innate the foe, loses battles; to un-
derestimate him, wins them.
The Roosevelt motive is ambition.
He fights money. 1t is the short cut to
a following. Likewise, it pleases him
to fight money. He hates it for it's in
science, and because its effort is to
make slaves of men The Roosevelt
effort is to turn men into soldiers.
The separation between Mr.. Roosevelt
and money is radical and not to be
bridged. He looks for power; money
looks for profit. 1t is the difference
between paladin and a pawnbroker.
Had Tacitus known the Roosevelts
he would have said of them, as he
said of the Germans: Others go to
battle: these go to war" Having gone
to war, Mr.. Roosevelt will take every
advantage that the enemy offers. He
will come, and keep coming. His en-

The Roosevelt appearance tells the
story of the man. He has a square,
hard. indomnitable face. It is the
face Of one unhappy If he doesn't find
trouble. His gaze is level, steady, un.
blinking In it is mighty resolution,
second only to mightier egotism.
His eyes laugh. but they never weep,
never waver, never yield. And they

SUMNER DRINKS AND BACTERIA

The summer days will soon be here
again. bringing with them both the
lows and the dangers OF the heated
season. Among the special requisites
of the warm weather are the carbona
ed beverages. with soda water IN

conspicuous type. To q very large
class of our population these non-al-
coholic drinks appeal SO strongly as
refreshing and innocuous forms OF
! fluid intake that their purity and
( harmlessness ought to be adequately
1 safeguarded In respect to the pres
ence of preservatives, artificial color
ing matter, saccharin and similar
considerations, the summer bever-
ages have been subjected to care
full control by the varrcus authorities
entrusted with the enforcement of the
food laws. But there appears to be

the Journal of the American Medical

teriologic features which needs to be
corrected.

Roosevelt does not have enough votes
to nominate him. After series of 4
tnmultucus victories in many of the
greater states, he still lacks of having
enough. His only hope now is to
shake loose some of the Taft votes. /
Some of these Taft votes we're select
ed before the fighting became strenu-
GUS, and it is possible that Colonel /
Roosevelt might have captured them /
if he could have carried his campaign /
into their midst But that does not |
matter now. The fact is that they /
are for the other man.
Money will be used freely with such
men as Perkins and Munsey to fur
,nish it. All the contests that have
been filed are, of course, practically
worthless. A contest is generally a
protest of a defeated man. He has
nothing to lose by making such pro-
TESTS and he stands to gain something.
The Roosevelt managers have filed
i contests against all the Taft delegates,
except few from states like Iowa.
| I. was the intention to run bluff
in the game of politics and among
politicians that is clearly understood.
The fact that many Of the Taft
delegates come from the smaller states
and from the states of the south,
where the Republican party Is not
strong, does not change the fact that
they are votes and that they are en-
titled to the same consideration as
s, votes from Illinois or Pennsylvania. II
4 the southern states should have no
voice in Republican conventions, now
lis not the time to change their rep
resentation. Under the Republican
, call they are entitled to cast their
votes. Four years ago Colonel Roose-
welt gladly availed himself of those
| southern votes and If he had not been
able to round them up he would not
have been able to nominate Taft at
I that time: the nomination would have
: gone to Hughes. 1t comes with bad
: grace now from him to make. protests.

, which the colonel carried from the
5 rear end of Pullman. will have dele
gates which were elected, though in
!. primaries by small minorities. Even

The pity Of II.


Marshalltown Times Republican,:
The finest thing that walks the earth /
is young and innocent girl. When !
God, out of his perpetual kindness and I
loving mercy, gives a girl baby to
family He has granted one of the SUI
preme gifts of his power. Nothing in j
all the world approaches in purity. of
physical beauty and sweetness of
mind the innocence of girlhood.. 1t is
as sacred as the ark of the covenant,
a holy thing to be kept in tenderness
and guarded with fidelity. With girl
baby is born infinite possibilities of
goodness or of purity. In the trav
all of childbirth is born responsible
ty of parenthood, not alone the respon-
sibility of parentage but a general re-
sponsibility for the training and teach
ing and guarding OF that child from
evil which rests upon every decent
man and woman in the community and
state and nation. For as we are our
brothers keeper SO are we parents
and guardians of all children.
But how much do we realize this
responsibility? The streets of every
| city after nightfall are moving pictures
of parental and neighborhood ire
/ sponsibility and denial Of the claims OF

the pity of it, the terribleness and
wastefulness and pity Of it all! And
We go of nights past the dark stair
ways whence comes the whispering OF
girlish voices, see the childish maid

the helpless prey of every prowling
animal and wonder how God came to
entrust a girl soul to such parents as
theirs must be.
