Iowa Banks.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: Iowa has
more banks than any other state in the
union, there being 1.706 such institu-
tons In the state. OF course, Iowa is
the richest state In the union. For II
there were not vast surplus of money
there would not be 50 large number
of banks. Just as there are no grain
elevators where there is no grain. The
number Of Iowa banks, leading all
other states, there is a point upon
which boosters might dwell very ef-
4ectively Nobody Is starting banks
where there is nothing doing. No
body starts bank just for the fun Of
the thing.

The total vote in 1896 was 1887 ~.
in 1900 it was 13,970134; in 1904 1t
was 13,524,349. and in 1908 1t was
1887 1874. =
The falling off in the vote OF the
democratic party and the reduction OF
the Taft and Roosevelt vote below the
figures reached by these two men
singly in their former campaigns can
only be explained by the gain IN the
socialist vote The socialists gained
votes evidently from the other tnrec
party tickets. It will be noted that tne
combined Taft-Roosevelt vote In 1917
was 7.6OS, 234, sufficient, If it had not
been split between two candidates to
defeat Wilson by 1,316,356.

CASE OF THE HON. M'cARrY.

Denver Republican: If one has been
inclined to doubt that this country Is
the land OF opportunity, let him con-
slider the case Of the Hon. Luther Nc
Carly, pugllist.
Mr.. McCarty, according to the bio
graphers Of the sport page, who have
the late Mr.. Boswell beaten helpless In
that part of the literary game, has
been hobo, sailor, hired man, rousta-
bout and various other things. In a
few weeks, after winning two battles
against feavyweights aspirants for the
white hope" title, Mr.. McCarty leaped
to the top rung Of the ladder. He
hoisted himself into dress suit the
other day in San Francisco. and bowed
and scraped to an admiring multitude
that surrounded his low necked auto
mobile ten deep. Soon he will be
making more money than Mr.. Carnegie
is giving away-and yet only few
weeks ago, according to dispatches
from South Dakota, his wife had him
arrseted for nonsupport and only drop
ped proceedings against him on his
promise that he would go out and try
to wrest few dollars from some
grudging employer.
Mr.. McCarty's rise from hobodom to
plutocracy is interesting reading, in
view of the financial opportunities that
are afforded college professors in this
country.

SOME PARCEL POST HANDIcAPs.

Chicago Evening Post: The letter
carrier is the object Of general scrut-
my just now. He is hailed on the
street a dozen times in block and
asked how much he is toting in the
way Of weight. Packages protrude
from his mail sack and he has two
other collections roughly corded. One
package includes tubelike bundles,
four feet long, which get in his way:
the other wearies his right arm and he
has to crook shoulder to balance the
pack on his back. o..
"Why don't you get a wagon?' and
"How much extra do you get for this?"
are thrown at him every few down
town feet. Everybody is considering
the parcel post at close range. char
acteristically free with suggestions and
reproofs. Nobody seems to under
stand either the limitations or the pos
sibilities Of the system.
From a street car on cold morn
ing three postmen emerged. All had
so much to carry that 1t was difficult
for them to proceed through the mar
row door. The conductor helped two
of them to alight and observed to a
passenger that It was tough going"
The third postman added:
Yes, and it's going to be worse. I
became letter carrier rather than be
a porter NowI'm both on one salary"

NO LACK OF MATERIAL.


Clinton Herald: There has been
some objection to entering upon an
era of permanent road building in
this state on the theory that scarcity
of rock and gravel will make the cost
so high as to become prohibitive. 1t
is believed that this position is not
we'll taken 1t is true that many sec.
tons of the state have neither rock
nor gravel and that all such material
used in road construction will have
! to be imported. But there are i'm.
mense quantities of splendid rock at
the Anamosa reformatory quarries,
already crushed to the right size for
road building, which we understand
will be supplied by the state free
to the counties Of Iowa, providing 1t
is to be used for road purposes. IN
addition to this, some of the rail-
roads companies have agreed to car
ry certain quantities Of such rock
free of charge, so long as the haul ,s
not beyond their own line. 1t is
doubtless true that IL Iowa entered
upon an era Of permanent road con.
struction that arrangements could
be made with the state and the va
rious railroad companies SO that
rock could be secured free of als
charge to all counties where such
material did not exist. In this event
the only cost would be transportation
from the railroad cars to the road
under improvement.

COLLBRAN ALIVE TO
POSSIBILITIES Of
SECURING THE TRAIL

All Collbrau people are wholly
alive TO the possibility OF securing
the Midland Trail through Plateau
valley. That the chances Of the road
eventually crossing from New Castle
TO Collbran over high plateau with
great scenic advantages. is the gist
OF an interview G.. A. Warning of this
city had with Frank Tanner OF Coll
bran the first OF the week when the
-wo met high up on the mountain
ridge between Collbran and New
Castle.
Mr.. Tanner admitted the portent
OF his visit to that lofty and untravel-
ID section. He explained that there
is a very good road with easy grade
from New Castle to the top of the
mesa Just south of the two Mamm
peaks. where there are a number of
good stock ranches. The rapairing
OF ten miles of old mountain road
and construction of four miles OF
brand new road over beautiful
country, where roads are easy to
build, Will connect the end of the
first mentioned New Castle road with
Plateau Valley. Mr.. Tanner says the
road Will be very attractive because
of the magnificent view, the album
dance of water along its length, the
bountiful yerdure and pine trees and
the delightful mountain atmosphere.
Mr.. Warning and Mr.. Tanner dis
cussed the road matter over thor
oushly and the former states that he
is convinced that the Plateau valley
read VIII be a strong contender for
the permanent Midland Trail. The
COllbran people are backing MIR. Tan
ner's Investigations and true to their
regulations will not be bit slow in
getting right down to work and the
valley people will have heavy oppo-
sition from the hill section.

BULLET R|DDLED
BODY Of MAN IS
FOUND NEAR ATCHEE

The body of a man supposed to
have been murdered. has been found
by Than Galloway, a herder for the
Lew Cotton outfit, | 3 miles north
west of Atchee on Bitter creek, across
the Utah line. The dead body is not
identified and bullet hole in back
of the head and one in the breast
seem to give indisputable evidence
of murder. The man had been dead
four or five months and there seems
to be some knowledge of his killing
among the Indians of the Dragon,
Utah section.
The Indians state that the dead
man was an Indian and had been men
tally unbalanced and that while steal
ing from some MeXicans he had been
shot by the latter. The man had on
rough clothing when killed, was of
medium size and had short black
hair, looking much like an Indian.
His features and color were made un-
recognizable by the work of the ele-
ments and decomposition.
Officers have left for the scene to
bring the remains to Dragon, where
an investigation will be made.

of the other counties has been receiv-
ed by Commissioner Ehrhart, who is
very solicitous that all counties get
in line and accept. He says that it
Is getting late in the season and that
road work should be generally under
way at once
If these counties are not heard
from within the next three weeks
Commissioner Ehrhart says that the
states proposition will be promptly
withdrawn and the money, ZOO,
which goes to the above six counties,
will be distributed elsewhere e.
The advisory BOARD of the highway
commission, who has been making a
trip over the Midland Trail is ex-
pected to reach Denver today, He
made the run from Denver to Glen
wood Springs over the Midland Trail
in just 13 hours, covering the dis
tance in Just an hour and fifteen min
utes quicker than the distance is
made by passenger trains over the
Rio Grande road, despite the fact
that very little work has yet been
done on any of the road. When the
trail has been put in proper shape
Engineer Maloney of the commission
saws that II will be no task for auto
mobiles to make this run from 10 to
IL hours,
Mr. Maloney has just returned
from an inspection trip on the west
ern slope and he states that road
conditions there are in very fair
shape and that work is fairly under
way in several of the counties the
other side of the Rockies. He made
the trip from Gunnison to Montrose
the trip to Gunnison and Montrose
over Monarch Pass. The Chaffee
county commissioners informed MIN
that the road over the pass will soon
be opened up for travel. When TINS
accomplished it will prove of great
benefit to the travelling public in
that portion of the state. He says
that work is under headway on the
Blue Mesa line and that within three
months it will be opened through to
Montrose.
Commissioner Ehrhart is very
much encouraged by the prompt ac-
ceptanees of most of the counties OF
the apportionment of road funds, and
urges those six counties yet to defi-
nitely hear from, to act at once ana

THE JEWISH new YEAR
New York City the Center of Today's
Celebration.

New York, Oct. 2-The Jews of New
York are celebrating Rosh Hashanah
today-the Jewish New Year. 1t is the
beginning of the year 5674 and this
first day in the Jewish calendar is
Tisri first The year just ended was
a perfect year for the Jews, con-
sisting of 1856 days. The year ito come
will. be a common year of 3o4 days. The
Jews of the East side have been pre-
pairing for this feast for several weeks.
The New Year anniversary is one of
of the most solemn in the Jewish CAL
endar Under his religion, the Jew
starts life afresh with every New Year.
He forgives his enemies, casts away
his sins and reviews his whole life. The
New Year resolution which has become
a subject of jest with the rest of US
is a serious matter with the orthodox
Jew. great many thousand Jews are
excused from work today and the usual
procession of workers to the sweat
shops was small.
The chief celebration of the New
Year is on the swarn1ing East, Side.
for there are found most of the ortho-
dox Jews. There are many thousands
of them. In this country are two mil
lion of the eleven and half million
Jews in the world, and the greatest
gathering of them is to be found IN
New York city. Efforts have been
made in recent years to persuade them
congested tenement districts. But these
have been only measurably successful.
Every wear an exhibition of the prod
ucts of Jewish farmers is made on the
East Side But it does not persuade
many to take up the rural life. They
prefer to swarm in the narrow East
Side streets and hive in the crowded
tenement buildings.
New York has only 81 Jewish
| churches in Manhattan. But there are
many places of worship which would
not be classed as churches. Many con-
sregations meet in small flats in tene-
ment houses because the members are
too poor to build and maintain q
church structure. All up and down the
East Side on New Years day one may
see at the windows of these tenements
the Jews in their skull caps and strip
ed prayer shaWls. They pray all day
long, fasting. Rivington street and Or
chard street which swarm with people
on other days are almost deserted on
New Year day. You can see little
groups Of Jews gathered on the side
walk dressed in their best clothing.
Lines of bootblacks do thriving trade.
On the Williamsburg bridge early in
the morning were seen lines of Jews
praying that their sins may be cast
from them into the water. This bridge
which leads directly from the heart of
New York's ghetto has done more to
relieve the congestion of the East Side
than the settlements. AS soon as it
was opened, there was a migration
from the west side of the river to its
east side and now there is a great Jew
ish colony in Brownsville, district of
BROOKLYN.
