They had prepared baking for the

A GOOD CREED.


The currsnt Banker Farmer, pub
lished by the agricultural commission
OF the American Bankers Association
for the purpose of fostering closer
relations and spirit of cooperation
between the financial and agricultural
interests, offers on its cover page a
creed which it calls The New Bank
err. This is worthy the study of every
man, banker or not. Here it is.
| believe no man can be good
banker who is not first a good citizen,
in all the term implies.
l believe good citizenship rests on
ability and willingness to pull one
own weight, with capacity not only
| for sturdy self-help but also due re-
gard for the rights of others.
| believe that the more points at
which we touch human nature and
human interests, the more alive we
become and the longer we stay SO.
believe we cannot prosper by ap-
plying yesterdays methods to today;
that each man is in some measure
master of his community's destiny;
that good government is a matter of
Ebusiness-not politics; that to assist
in all material, moral and spiritual
iup-building Is the fundamental of en-
| lightened selfishness.
l believe we need more men of
ayery class who will appreciate this,
who VIII stand for something besides
lthemselve5
| believe in Efficiency, Service and
Fraternity: in a close-lznit community
Of interests and hopes; in sane,
lbroad-visioned stand that shall make
for the ban'Ser-farmer and the banker
everybody.
Any profession or business may be
substituted for banker" in the word
ing Of the above and 1t would apply
equally we'll. The creed is an excel
lent one and II adopted by everybody
would help along the millennium very
materially.

DIR. ELIoT,s SANE VIEW.

DR.. Charles W. Eliot, ex-president
OF Harvard, has a cure for the con
gestion of our cities. He gives this
cure in letter to the National Lib
eral Immigration league. The remedy
for the overcrowding in our industrial
centers and the evils attending this
overcrowding, lie says, lies not in re-
stricting immigration. but in the dis.
tribution of Industrial plants through
out the country
The United States, says Dr. Eliot,
can i'll afford to turn away European
laborers from It's gates when the
country still has such enormous I'M
used resources" to develop. On moral
grounds the restriction OF immigra-
ton is well nigh unthinkable, he as.
serts, because 1t would mean the aban-
doning and manning OF the noble pol.
icy which has made this country tho
refuge of the oppressed and the hope
of the multitudes.
| The distribution of industry through
| the placing of new industrial planta
away from the congested centers, in
small towns, is according to DR.. Eliot,
possible at this time, perhaps, more
than ever before. because of the par.
eel post, the growth of local electric
railways for both passengers and
freight, the automobile, and the gen
orally more perfected and extended
railroad, telephone and telegraph
service.
Keoluk's hopes and opportunities
are directly i'll line with DR.. Eliot.s
sane views. In furtherance of the
good cause of redistribution of in.
dustries this city is prepared to offer
inducements that cannot be paralleled
elsewhere. What with its cheap pow.
er, uneoualed factory sites, unsur
passed shipping facilities both BY

THE BELT LINE ORDINANCE.

THE BELT LINE ORDINANCE.
Keokuk is to be congratulated upon
the passage by the city council on
Saturday last OF a special ordinance
granting the Mississippi River Power
Company the right to construct a
railroad track from a point near the
easterly end of Orleans avenue along
the banks of the river to the industrial
tract near the Des Moines river
bridge. The ordinance Is both con-
structive and protective measure and
as such is worthy of unqualified en-
dorsement.
As already stated in the news col
umns of The Gate CITY, the Power
Company proposes to construct this
track for the purpose OF protecting
all railroads and transportation lines
now in existence or that may at any
time enter the city so that all will
have access on equal terms to any
factories that may be located on the
Industrial tract. The new track
which the ordinance authorizes will
also protect the factories in the indus
trial tract so that no railroad or COM
bination of railroads will be able to
get a monopoly of the freight business
in that part Of the city. 1t will be seen
from this that the purposes of the
ordinance are wholly admirable Care.
full analysis of thelseveral provisions
warrants the belief that the interests
OF the city have been properly pro-
tectei at every point. 1t is not intend
ed to be money-making scheme for
the power company. The new track
is to be common highway for all
railroads desiring to use it, and the
cost of operation and maintenance
will be charged against the various
roads in proportion to the amount of
traffic done over it by each. Thus i.
will be available to all at nominal
cost
The passage of this ordinance is an
important step in Keokuk's progress,
as will be seen more and more clearly
with the development of the industrial
tract. A belt line" railway Is an alb
solute necessity to the successful up.
building of a factory district as con-
templated. The measure will become
a law as soon as 1t has been officially
published in the local daily papers.
