About the only ones who remain I'M

Perhaps there is landlord or two who

Perhaps there are q few owners who
wish they might get the old time
rakeoff they used to get by reason of
property juxsaposition to a saloon. But
that Is only guesswork. Perhaps they
are convinced also. If such there are,
their interest in the saloon is an indi-
vidual one and unworthy Of much con-
sideration in a general way.
Des Moines can abolish the saloon
to great commercial and Industrial ad-
vantage; to the attraction of popula-
ton Of the class that counts, to the
bettermenh of her homes and her men
and her business interests. to all
round advantage. And the best thing
she can do it is to do 1t now. Take It

own homes, where there are less pro-
erty and restitution and where there
have been no saloons for twenty eight

A TINE COMING.

The wide spread anti-saloon move
ment has reached Des Moines and the
capital city is now dry town. The
Supreme Court handed down a deci-
sion Saturday afternoon in which 1t
was held that the petition under
which the saloons were operating was
insufficient and that as consequence
the saloons were without legal stand
ing. The saloon forces promptly ac-
cepted the situation and closed their
places the same evening. While it IS
extremely improboble that the city
will remain dry for any length Of
time II must be admitted that the
great temperance movement which is
sweeping the world 10 growing in
strength every day. The day Of the
open grog shop il fast drawing to a
close. Everywhere the evil Of the In
stitution is being recognized more and
more clearly and the economic waste
is too great to be tolerated to say
nothing Of the moral and physical
effects upon the people.

TINE SCHOOL PLAYGROUND.

How large Is your school play
ground? Henry s. Curtis. in bulfstin
1ust issued by the United States bureau
Of education, declares that every city
school building should have at least one
full block Of ground, whether the block
is the usual city block of two or three
acres, or one OF ten acres, as in Salt
Lake, Utah. The high school needs at
least ten acres, he asserts. AS for the
country school. It ought never to have
less than three acres Of play space and
could probably make use of ten acres,
provided the grass is kept moved.
Mr.. Curtis shows that our schools
have, In general. had very inadequate
yards. During the past ten years, how
ever, with tho development of the play
movement, there has come an increased
demand for ground space aroundschoo
buildings. The state boards Of edu-
cation in Pennsylvania and Virginia
will not approve plans for new school
buildings that do not provide for ade-
quata Fairgrounds. In Little Rock.
Ark, tha standard of one full block to
q school hAa been carried out with
every one OF the schools for white
children. All but ono or two of the
schools in Pueblo, Colo, have full
block. In San Angelo, Tex, every
school but one has two blocks at least,
and two have tan acres OF play space.
The first school built In Gary, Ind,
had two acres Of playground, the sec
ond had four. the third eleven. and a
lot recently purchased contains twenty
acres.
THERE'S a very strong sentiment all
over the country for larger school
grounds" MI. Curtis finds, and yards
are being augmented in many cities
where there Is an opportunity to pur-
chase adjoining pieces Of land at
prices that are not prohfbftive. Cities
are often paying as much as 10000
or more per acre for such land. Two
years ago the city of Houston. Tex.
secured a bond issue OF 100000 for
charging the yards OF several OF It's
old schools. The city Of Galveston mas
recently voted a bond issue OF Sloo'ooo
for the same purpose"
Whether In. city or country, MI. Cur
tbs considers ample school playground
a vital necessity. city children need
sood-sized school yard because
there Is not other place to play. Coun-
try children need large yard because
Of home there Is no one to play with,
except In the simplest games for little
children" He points out that larger
school grounds are demanded. not only
for the sake of organized play. which
has come to have a recognized value IN
education, but also for school garden
Ing, open air classes, physical train
ing, and other activities that have
made the school-yard nearly as I'M
portant as the classroom in the con-
duct of a modern school"

uAasnALLrown KNOWS.

Figures given out at Des Moines and
corroborated by the police records
show that the past week Of closed
saloons resulted in a decrease OF ~
per cent in the business Of the Des
Moines police force. The week pre-
cedtns there had been 155 arrests with
the saloons in operation. The past
week shows a total Of ninety-four.
Arrests for drunkenness were practi-
callv cut in two. standing seventeen TO
thirty. The number of persons actual
" sent to Jail was precisely one half
the number thus incarcerated IN the
wet week Immediately preceding the
saloon closing. The total days OF jail
sentences dropped from 149 to seventy
i've. practically one half. And as Chief
OF Police Jenny pointed out. the COM
parison Is scarcely fair to the dry
week as the three days succeeding the
closing were to all intents and pur-
poses wet by reason of provision laid
In for drouth Immediately on an
nouncement OF the court dicision.
No doubt there are many good and
sincere men in Des Moines who are
self convinced that the city can
prosper without saloons. THESE
figures should attract their attention
and give them pause before they sign
another petition. II these really sincere
persons will consult the police records
of Marshalltown, II they will ask for
information from the business men,
merchants, real estate men. property
owners, manufacturers, whose interest

resident, they will never sign the petit

It is likely that seven men out OF
every ten who signed the saloon petit

that the town is better of without

with the statement. Many Of them

the BUSINESS FIELD.

AcSSe11eO dct1V3ty In industrial CQaN-
nels reflects the prevailing uncertainty
regarding the future. The distribution
Of merchandise for immediate re-
quirements continues large, but re-
trenchment rather than expansion
characterizes the situation. Caution
in entering upon forward commitments
is general and new enterprises are
limited, while economy is practiced in
numerous quarters.
Labor is not SO Well employed
and more machinery Is idle in
iron and steel, the leading mills
now running considerably below their
full capacity. Curtailment of opera
tons results mainly from the restricted
buying on the part Of the transporting
companies, while experience difficulty
in obtaining needed funds for equip
ment and extensions. The opening
Of the eastern freight rate inquiry and
the beginning of the currency debate
in the Senate attracted attention, and
the proceedings in these important
matters will be closely followed both
in trade and financial circles.
A slower movement of products to
market is evidenced by the increase
in the number Of idle cars, and rail-
road gross earnings for the first three
weeks of November were o. per cent
less than last year. although showing
a gain of IA per cent over 1911 Con-
traction OF consumption is somewhat
less manifest in copper. but an accu-
mutation or surplus stocks is indicated
In strictly mercantile lines the ad-
verse effect Of unreasonable weather
heavyweight apparel. footwear and
fuel. Conditions, however, are favor
able for outdoor work. and the hand
ling OF the crops. Footwear factories
are quite we'll engaged, while leather
is scarce and firm. There is con-
tinued steady movement of dry goods
on old orders. but hesitancy in the
placing Of future contracts is marked.
Less than the usual price decline in a
period Of quite is noted, as output
is restricted and supplies are not ex-
cessive.
Stocks of wool in dealers hands are
reported TO be smaller than at this
time in any recent year and in con-
sequence the situation is strong. Ex-
septional dullness in the securities
markets accounts in a measure for the
loss of SO per cent in bank clearinEs
this week as compared with a year
ago, but there was a small increase Of
20 per cent ove1 1911.
That American credits abroad are
steadily expanding is indicated by the
official foreign commerce returns for
October. While it is expected that the
reduced tariff schedules will result
in iarser imports, during the first
month under the operation Of the new
law there was a sharp decline in the
inward movement Of merchandise, the
total approximately $3S.000,000 smaller
than in September and $4,000, 900 less
than in October, 1912. In contrast to
this decrease, exports showed a gain
of nearly s17,00o,00o and the excess
shipments reached the remarkable sum
Of s13s,700,o00 against s7s.600.0oo a
year ago. The value Of breadstuffs ex-
port was only about half as large in
1912, but this loss was Offset by the
increase in cotton due to the higher
prices prevailing.

DAVENPORT FIRE AUTOMOBILES.
Davenport Ttmes1

There has been another break in the
Davenport motor fire apparatus. This
time 1t was the chiefs car that gave
way. The chief hold that the con-
structfon Of the car Is too light for the
strain that has to be put on 1t in re-
spending to nres. The fire and the po-
lice commissioners have maintined
that the firemen abide by the rules for
the handling Of the apparatus.
Thus the question Of whether the
motor apparatus is faulty appears for
consideration. Possibly It would be
well for the council to appoint q spe-
cial committee Of men capable TO pass
on the question. men outside Of It's own
membership. and let the Investigation
Of the construction Of the apparatus
be thoroughly made.
II the motor cars that have been
purchased are guaranteed in any way,

10 take when the special committee
reported. II the cars are not family
