The Banditti Of the Prairies had its
organization. most effective one at
that. The breaking up Of those crime
trusts and the fitting of those who
escaped hanging or shooting scattered
about the west the nuclei OF new
groups of criminals. Southern Iowa
and Missouri especially lent themselves
to such depredators. Hiding places
were easy to find. The tone of morals
was bad. There was no community
and desperados held the decent in ter
ror and attracted the crooked in friend
ship and held them by fear and favor.
1t was in the last stage of this state
OF social anarchy when the James and
Youngers galloped north to rob the
bank at Corydon. 1t was the Anal
spasm when they failed at Northfield,
Mimi. and fought their way despair
ingly to the friendly gullies and safety
of Clay county. Mo. There was the
citadel of the land pirate. Their
friends ran a strange gamut there from
outlaws to church class leaders.
The trial will be historical. 1t will
revive a period of lawlessnesS utterly
strange and foreign to Iowa in 1915,
but a period which existed when the
pistol and knife and the fire brand in
the night were incentives to a close
mouth. when killing was common in
defense and as a penalty of loose
tongue and when cash box filled with
gold was premium to murder and
robbery.
1t is just as we'll that those condi-
tions should be recalled. The COM
parison is grateful one. 1t shows
how far Iowa has travelled in the last
half century and the changes that
lifetime make in social and moral con-
ditions.

There are 6,429 building and loan

Germs.

a loan from the company for the bal
ance, paying it out at S31.sl per
month and including s65 annually for
taxes and insurance, making total
of 1915 per month. In twelve years
he can own home with the expendi-
ture of but 81 month more than he is
now paying for rent.
These are interesting figures, par
ticularly interesting to any city which

1t natural that the income is much
larger than ever before. The income
has increased in every postoffice Of
any size in the country. Likewise 1t
would seem natural that the profit, II
profit there ever is, would increase.
But the profit has not increased. The
manner Of showing it simply was more
elaborate, that was all.
Now that the glowing reports have
been spread broadcast there comes adj

runabout way, of changes that are to
