BUILDING AND LOAN.


building and loan association
should be organized in Montezuma.
Most business men here know that the
scarcity Of houses to rent has lost the
city considerable population during the
past few years and that there are
heads OF families who are not able
to build a home and pay for it when
finished. Many Of this latter class
would no doubt build II they could
secure the assistance of a building and
loan association and pay back the
amount borrowed in weekly or monthly
installments.
To say that those who want to To-
cate here and can not rent property
should build does not solve the prob
lem. 1t may end the argument, but it
will not convince many families who
would rather rent than to build.
Montezuma shows a fair net gain in
population during the past five years.
The increase would have been greater
if rental houses had been more plenti-
full or il building or loan association
had been ready to help the man of
moderate means.
The public spirited men Of this city
should form an organization Of this
kind. It will not be gold mine to
stockholders, but should pay fair
dividend in cash and big one in ad-
ditional homes.

TINES HAVE CHANGED.


There are many living here who re-
member when a couple of saloons
fiour:shed in Guthrie Center and
drunken men were a common sight
and nuisance on the streets. We can
recall the days of c. O. D. memory
when on a Saturday woman was not
safe from insult on the streets. Now
this has been changed. It is rarely
that a drunken man is seen nowadays.
Seldom is an arrest made. compared
with other years. Half the homes do
not lock the doors of their homes al
night, and no burglaries are reported.
Our jai. is empty two-thirds of the
year and If ii has occupants they are
sent there from other parts of the
county. The question that is burden
ing the minds of these people who are
asking rs the world getting better
or worse?" can be answered in Guth-
RE Center in the affirmative. and prove
it by these who have lived here for
the past thirty or more years.

WE WOULD MAKE RICH PRIZE.
ISiouS CITY Tribune

4
Mr.. Roosevelt is strong advocate OF
peace, but he sees in the fate Of Bel
GUM more than less gifted men have
seen. Abiding to that country,
drenched in its own blood, thru no
fault Of It's own, he truly said:
Some day or other ii may well be
that we shall have to pay on ten fold
greater scale the same price for exactly
the same reasons: and, il such should
be the case. remember, my fellow
'countrymen, that whereas the case of
the Beigians excited warm sympathy,
our misfortunes would excite nothing
but scorn and contempt: for a rich,
powerful. boastful people invites the
ridicule of ali mankind if. whether
from sheer Stiffness and short sighted
ness. or from soft timidity, or from
gross and greedy devotion TO the ma
terial benefits of the moment, It fails
TO prepare itself to defend it's own
rights with its own strength"
He might have added: The richer
this nation becomes the sooner its day
Will come, the greater temptation it
will be, and. as it Is going, the easier
it will fall to the spoilers hand. In
that day men will wonder what they
heaped up riches for.

Grand Haven will doubtless do much

This work is taken out Of the regular
contract system for the purpose of pro-
viding employment for men who would
otherwise be a charge upon the city.
Every city should provide a safety
valve of this kind. Some plan should
be devised and put into operation
which will provide work for men who

CoSSoN AND THE BEDFORD CASE
IMuScatine Journal

The prompt and complete collapse Of
the sensational and widely advertised
Bedford buried treasure murder case
is being used by enemies of Attorney
General Cosson as an argument in an
effort TO impair the state official s
legal and political prestige.
There can be no doubt but that the
Bedford case was badly handled or
that the arrests of the alleged x-pan-
dts We're premature and the prosecu-
ton without sufficient basis to justify
any hope of success That the attor-
ney general was responsible for any of
these circumstances has not been
shown and can not be.
