Did it ever occur to you why all good business
men keep a checking account with a bank?
JVe'll tell you. It enables them to keep their
funds in a more secure place than the office
safe. It gives them a better standing in the
business world. It enables them to pay their
bills by check, the returned check being aJan
disputable receipt.
Individuals finding a checking account nery
convenient and a source of saving. Money in
one's pocket is often spent on the sour of the
momont, whiltf one is disposed to think twice
before drawing on his balance in the bank.

AFfTHUR GREAT
BRISBANE'S
SPEECH.
A niumber of prominent men of af
fairs recenly save a dinner in New
York City to Lord Northcfliffe, the
proprietor of a number of British
publications. Many short speeches
were made, but none at all compar
able with the one delivered by Ar
thur Brisbane, the editor-in-chief, oi
Hearst's newspapers. Mr. Brisbane
is an unassuming:, modest man, but
thinker of the first order. He has
faith' in ithe common people aud here
is
his
tribute to them on the above
mentioned occasion:
"This is a fine gathering of power
ful men, big fortunes, and great rep
utations. I want to say something
fcr the man that never had a mil
lion dollars, never got on the pay
roll of a millionaire.
"I dont want Northcliffe to go back
to England believing that a man with
out a million in this counrty might
well hide under the table or jump
off the dock.
'The real American, nation, its
real ability, are hidden among those
unknown seventy-nine millions thait
never igo to Delmonico's, mcst of
whom know as little about ter
rapin as abouit bird's nesrt soup.
'Mr. Harvey says very truly, "The
great reward must go to the man of
great ability." True.- Eut what is
"the great reward, and what do you
call great ability?
If I scatter money in the street
and a- thousand eager men dive to
get it, I am holding up one kind of
reward, and I call forth one ki-nd of
lability.
"But if a child is in danger of Its
life, and a man risks Ms life to save
it, that situation calls out a d'iffer
it kind of abiliy, and reveals a'
man who asks for a higher reward
than cash.
'We are paying too much 'atten
tion here to the men that scramble
for pennies, for dollars and for mil
lions. They are able, strong men
but they are not the American na
tion, nor the best men iu it.
"Colonel Harvey says that if you
•take ten thousand men omt of this
country—'the ablest ten. thousand—
the counry will fail to pieces. He
might as well say that if you take
ten apples off a tree, the tree will
wither and fall. Not a hi1 of it. You
anen with money and power are the
pretty, shiny apples on ithe tree. The
sunlight, .the warmth tlie praise pre
for you, but you are only the passdng
frftit. The real tree is the thick
trunk. The real power is with those
the, roots hidden in the soil.

er, the root of the nation, is the mass
people—too often, like the tree's
roots hdAifieii 'belov .ttae dark and
'^SWT^Snt' from these vdbts* from
the people comes all the real power.
"4nd when this nation and you
prosperous men, face a perilous sit
uation, as you have done in the past
and you will do in the future, you
will find the man to help yoi and
to save you, not at this table, not at
Delmonico's.
"There was trouble before tlue^oiv
war, serious trouble. Did the peo
ple call upon a rich corpora,tion law
yer or a great banker? No. They
asked a little country lawyer, witli
nothing but a good name, and a brair.
and a hart to save the country.

reat work, bo whom did
he look? Wall Street was quite busy,
as usual, picking up bargains in
bonds.
General Grant was there among
the roots of the people, out of eight,
unknown. He did not hare a million
dollars, and Delmonico's prices were
beyond his reach- But he had the
great ability, and when the nation
was ready ito offer him what is really
the great reward—honor and glory—
he was ready.

A CALL—AND AN OPPORTUNITY
(From Harper's Weekly.)
It is our ibellet that the 7,000 inUe
journey of President Taft through tle
west and south' will imark the begin
Mug of a mew era, in ithe history of
the Republican iparty. The real C02V
trol of tlhat mighty organization from
the days of Charles Sumner and Thai
Stevens to the present of Aklrich and
Hale and Ifodge has rested In the
east. Presidents have been elected
from Ohio and Indiana, one potential
leader in the senate hailed froni Iowa
Hanna came out of Ohio and Gam
from Illinois, but throughout the
tire fifty years the underlying domi
nance lias 'been exercdsd with quiet
effectiveness1 and a. iSLrm hand from
New York, Pennsylvania1, and Now
England. Apparent leaders from west
of the Alleglianles have been but as
pawns, restive at itlines, but invariab'
ly subservelent In the end to the
•tronger authority of a- few men cap
able of wielding with skill the adhes'
ive power of party unification.
The passage of the tariff .bill sig
nalized the beginning of tihe end of
that control. For the first time In
the history of the party ten Repuib
lican senators broke the party chains
and committed party treason. Re
turning to their homes, they received
ovations, while representatives of Ilk1
communities who had demonstrated
their fealty to the organization after
the old manner met with sullen looks
boding ill for tbelr future political

fortunes. But it is now plain that,
while angered by what they regard
as betrayal of an obligation, the Re
publican of the west place no part of
the responsibility at the door of Pres
ident Taft. Him they still regard as
their sincere friend, and as the one
man whose sympathies, aspirations
and official position equip him pro
minently for the assumption of real
leadership of a new and determined
movement within ithe party to elimi
nate narrowness and Install breadth
of authority In vital affairs of gov
ernance.
This Is the -situation which Presi
dent Taft is called upon to face, and
he is prepared to meet It with calm
ness and courage. Nobody has a
keener appreciation of the condition
than he few understand it as well
While not seeking or craving great
personal opportunity, he realizes that
great ipersonal opportunity has been
forced upon him and he is ready. The
true purpose of President Tatt's visit
to the country Is to pave the way for
signal accomplishment. Hie mission
Is to free the Republican party. It
Is a task of no mean magnitude, as
he well understands. To succeed he
miust convince the people of his own
single mindedness, he must indicate
'plainly his real intent, he must win
their unqualified allegiance and sup
port.
Let him beware, then, not to mis
take hospitality for approval. The
west is open hearted, generous, and
appreciative of a president who pays
It compliments. It will give no in
dication of dissent from whatever
President Taft may say or do. The
reckoning will come later. That is
the fact that the visitor will do well
to keep Inm hid. However favorable
the impression he may realize he is
making while striving to .pacify and
conciliate, he ought not to forget for
a moment that a great majority of
•his fellow countrymen have come to
regard the tariff as a moral issue. It
is no longer a question of protection
vs. tree trade, but of right

PREHISTORIC MAN IN AMERICA
(From the New York World.)
A Russian ethnological expeditior
in the Aleutian archipelago has dis
covered relics and skeletons which
tend to show that thousands of years
ago "the highest type of humanity
in the New World existed in North
western America." Considering the
development known to have been
made by the Aztecs, by the mould,
builders and by the prehistoric race
which mined tor copper on the shores
of Lake Superior, this type must
have been well advanced in civiliza
tion.
The discovery Is therefore of gen
eral interest. Its greatest import
ance of course lies In the opportuni
ty It will afford for a recasting of
ethnological theories and the ex
plolitatlon of a new hypothesis aibout
the origin, of man. The learned con
tention over the blrthipllace of Aryan
oivillzaition has long since quieted
down, and not for some time has the
Garden of Eden been relocated. Was
its site acquired along with the nu
merous other prize-packages of the
Seward 'purchase?
Given a scientific imagination

the Russian expedition should
able, with this material to work on
to supply the world with a stock

IOWA. GREAT COAL
STATE.
PRODUCING
According to a report firm Wash
ington, D. C. the United Mates Geo
•gical Survey estimates 29,160,00r
tons of coal in this state originally.
The production of coal in Iowa dur
ing 1908 was as little affected by the
financial depression of the preceding
fall as that of any other state in the
union, "according to a report which
the United States Geological Survey
has just, completed on the coal out
put of the llaw'keye state. The Iowa
coal production for 1908 was 7,161,
310 short .tons, valued at $11,706,402
which was a decrease of only 413,012
tons, or 5.45 per cent from under the
output of 1907. Only three states
Kentucky, Montana and IJtah, had
percentage of decrease less than
that of Iowa. The decrease in the
entire United States was 64,520,716
tons.
The reason assigned iby.ttoe United
States Geological Soirvey for the com
paratively slight decrease in Iowa's
production of coal in 1908 is that the
state is almost entirely agricultural
manufacturing not having been de
veloiped to any extent, as in some
other iparts of the country. The Iowo
farmers were generally prosperous
throughout 1908, and the consumption
of coal was normal, except for -the
decrease due to mild weather.
Much Cjoal Yet in Orbund.
Icwh's total production of coal from
1840 lo the dose of 1908 has amount
ed to'148,770,102 short tons, which
'Including the waste of half a. ton
lost tor every ton of coal mined and
marketed, is equivalent to an exhaus
tion of 223,000,000 tons of coal from
the coal fields of Iowa. Mr. R. Camp
bell, of the United States Geologi
cal Survey estlm'iAes the original coaj
supply of Iowa at 29,160,000,000 tons
This would leave about 4,000 times
the Iowa production in 1908 remain
ing in .the ground of that state.
If r.Hio of waste to marketed coal
continues at the same rate the sup
Ply of Iowa coal will last 2,700 years
at the rate of production In 1908,
which assures the Hawkeye state
plenty of its own fuel for many getir
erations to come. "In addition to this
almost Inexhaustible sup&yvoO :coal
Iowa has also vast peat bogs^ 'prac
•tically undeveloped, which the' geo
logical survey has estimated can
furnish fuel to Iowans for some ad
ditional thousands of years.
According to the report of the geo
logical survey, there were 16,021 men
employed in the coal mine® of Iowa
during 1908 as compared with 15,555
ini 1907, .the industry to Iowa show
ing an increase of labor supply, not
withstanding the decrease ih produc

ing days accordingly shows a de
crease from 230 in 1907 to 214 in
1908. The average production pe
day for each man employed has de
dined each year since 1905, when
the average tonnage per man was
2.15. In 1908 this average tonnage
per man per day decreased to 2.09
The average annual production per
man was 446.9 short tons in 1905, anc
447 tons in 1908. In the report
the geological survey for 1907, it 1
stated that the decrease in the daily
production per man was in hU prob
