state Association NAV Decide.


FAIRFIELD, Iowa, Dec. lit is
stated that Mount Pleasant proposes
to take the question of the game be-
tween Fairfield and Mt. Pleasant or
rather the game that was not played
to the Iowa High School Athletic AS
ISOLATION for settlement. 1t is the
general wish here that Mt. Pleasant
will do that There is so much con.
fidence here that the association will
decide in Fairfelds favor that all
are willing it should decide the mat.
ter. Some Fairfield comment is as
follows:
In the present heated discussion
Iof the Mt. Pleasant game that did not
happen one distinction should be born
in mind. 1t is not a question whether
or not Russell and Neibert were TWEEN
ty-one years old, but rather had the
school authorities sufficient reason FOL
believing that they were under TWEEN
ty-one. The school has signed
statement from the father of Park
Russell and witnessed by two other
persons. The record from the Neibert
family Bible was an old statement
from an iron manufacturing company
made out to "Neibert & Wright
These records the school authorities
had and the question is: Were they
sufficient to be relied upon under or
binary circumstances"
There are a number Of inaccur

Russell or Neibert went to Oskaloosa

How Are

With You?

If you are not getting ahead
just as fast as you would like
to, suppose you write me some
thing about yourself and your
ambition. Perhaps / can put
you in touch with just the OPP
portunity you are looking for;
along a big railroad like the
Burlington there are always
openings for good men in many
trades in towns that are grow
ing and where opportunities
are good.
Sometimes, I hear of a snap
in the way of a small dairy or
truck farm. If / can't proper
ly locate you at first, I'll make
note of what you want and
write you when something good
turns up. The Railroad pays
me to do this. You are under

me right away while you are
thinking about the matter? a

The inference is that the prosecut-
ing attorney is uncertain as TO
whether taking bets on. horse races is
gambling and that he had no desire

THE INTERLoCKrNG SYSTEM.

Possibly il will develop that the
failure Of the First-Second National
bank OF Pittsburg was caused by the
sapping OF its strength through be-
ing tapped by a subsidiary That is
the common fate of banks that get
tied up through using its funds to
bolster other institutions.
We read that the Kuhn banking
house has extensive interests in irri-
cation projects. mines and street trac-
ton systems and is a dominant fac
tor in the American WaterwOrks and
Guarantee Company. And there is
the interlocking device. W. S. Kuhn
is president of the First-Second Ma
tional bank, vice-president and direc-
tor of the American Watreworks and
Guarantee Company and a director in
the McKeesport bank.
]. s. Kuhn is a director OF the First
Second National bank. president and
director Of the American Waterworks
and Guaranty company, president
and director Of the McKeesport bank
and chairman Of the board of direc-
tors of the banking house.
Here are four enterprises, three
banks and a utility company, under
the control and management OF two
men. In a minor way the combina-
ton is as dangerous To. financial Sc
curity and business health as the
larger and more open mergers. The
influence is that the bank was stripped

Similar instances are numerous.
Tile organizations are separate and
distinct but the personality is identi-
ca, and the money the public is in
dIced 10 deposit is used 10 promote
the individual interests. As the
Pittsburg clearing houses refused 10
assist the bank out OF its difficulties
ii is fair 20 presume conditions are
rotten and the bankers colony at

DAIRY OF FATHER TIME.

The distinct characteristics of the
Russion people in the 18th century
were drunkenness, endurance Of heat,
cold, and torture, and slavish obedi-
ence Of the Tsar. drunkenness in par
ticular. The habit went the farther
since it was encouraged by the gov
eminent and il was an offence against
the state to urge a man to leave one
Of the state-Owned taverns, even
though he was pledging the clothes
on his back, a common custom. At
every season of public rejoicing in
winter two or three hundred died in
the streets Of Moscow as they lay
there naked and dead drunk, and
the bodies might be seen brought
here by tens and twelves half eaten
by dogs 1 remember on one oc-
casion seeing a ruscovite come out
of a tavern in shirt and breeches only
meet a friend, return and come out
again with no shirt. A traveller, who
knew Russian, expressed sympathy
with him as if he had been robbed,
but was answered, mo, it's the man
at the bar and his wine that have
brought me TO this. but as my shirt
is there my breeches may as well

him but a handful of flowers picked

the city increased more than fifty per

TARIFF VOTES PLEDGED.

When it came to a showdown the
opposition TO the tariff bill on the
democratic side Of the senate is so
sion is felt as to its failure 10 pass.
Forty-seven democratic senators have
openly declared their intention to
vote for the bill and two others are
known TO be in favor Of it.
To be sure this will give the ad-
ministration measure a majority of
only one vote, but the situation is for
titled by the vice-president, who can
be relied upon TO vote favorably in an
emergency. No pledges were exacted
by the caucus. as anticipated, but
each member present was asked 10
state his intentions. Only two, the
Louisiana senators. said they could
not vote for the bill without amend
ment.
These announcements, however,
were supplemented by the adoption
Of a resolution declaring the tariff
bill TO be a party measure and urging
its support as a duty by democratic
members. The adoption of the resO-
luton was tantamOunt TO a personal
pledge from every senator attending
the caucus who voted for it and will
be so regarded by the leaders at
least. Failure to support the party
at this important juncture can be ac-
cepted as little short OF disloyalty.
1t is expected the bill viii be report
ed 10 the senate by Thursday OF this
week. after being thoroughly over
hauled for errors. and will be ready
for general debate next week. As
The News-Times has remarked. this
debate promises to be interesting and
educational. The prospect is that the
subject Will be pretty thoroughly ex-
hausted.

THE MEL TING POT

NEWSPAPER pictures OF James
s. Kuhn, one Of the conductors OF
the interlocking system by which a
big Pittsburgh bank has been put
on the blink, to say nothing Of its
confding depositors, show him as

He has an attractive face and
seductive smile, with the earmarks
OF an engaging conversatiOnalist,
one Of those men who can go into
new neigh borhoOd and be its most
prominent citizen in three weeks.
The secret Of his success in or
ganization is as apparent in his face
as the faultiness of his management
is conspicuous in the consequences.
