night, Feb. I'D, p. Vanasse g. Sons
saw mill was discovered to be on fire.
The roof was ablaze when first dis
covered. As the mill has not been

evidence that the fire was set. Mr..
Vanasse has a large amount of logs
near his mill and was all ready to
start up in a few days. There was no
insurance ard it is heavy loss. They

pect to be ready to run in a short

Ranking in Superior.

As there are goodly number Of
Pierce and st. Croix county people
who feel an interest in Superior
affairs, and a number of banking
institutions have failed in that city,
the JOURNAL has taken occasion
to gather a few facts concerning
banks up there, for the perusal of
its readers. At the close of the panic
which occurred in 1898 it was the
proud boast of the Superior people
that not one of their twelve banks
had failed. The following year,
however, they began to tumble, and
there are hut four left of the twelve,
seven having failed in the regulation
way and one retiring with a clean
balance-sheet because an application
of sound business principles would
not justify its continued existence.
Every one of the seven that failed
were depositors of the city, and
some of them held funds belonging
to Douglas county. Whenever a
bank fails up there the first question
asked is, allow much money did
the city have in it?" But the re-
naming banks seem to have a pretty
good grip upon either the common
council or the city charter as the
public funds still continue to flow
into the customary repositories.
The Douglas county board of super
visors recently became so nervous
over the dormant condition of
county cash tied up in broken
banks that they passed an order
that all county moneys on hand in
excess of twenty thousand dollars
should be placed in a safety deposit
vault, so that the treasurer would
know where it was and be able to
put his hands upon it whenever
needed. 1t is evident that this
order was looked upon as casting
too great a reflection upon what
bankers are left there, and the order
WAS rescinded at the following
meeting of the board. The city is
supposed to be Unidentified against
loss on bank deposits, but experience
has shown such not to have been the
case in all instances. The board of
education is getting SO cranky that
it wants security that secures, and
demands United States bonds or
Freeman Milling bonds as a
guarantee that its checks will be
promptly cashed. In the face of the
experience which the city and
county have had with broken banks
1t would seem to us that the tax
payers who are putting up the
money which constitutes the deposits
of public funds may well be pardon
eu ,r becoming FESTIVE under the
management by which reckless
financiers are getting away with
their cash.

Topic-"Opportunities to do Good;
Seeing Them, Using Them" John
4: 5-15, Cor. 8: 1922.
God furnishes opportunities, but
man must furnish the will to accept
them. There is one way to find more
and larger opportunities. What is
that way?
Some Of our greatest opportunities
lie all around US. Can you name any
of them? Why do we not always use
them?
"The scales of seltishness must first
be removed from our eyes before we
can see opportunities to help Christ's
representatives all about u.s."

ObjectLessonsin Political Economy.

Object Lessonsi in Political Economy.
The National Republican Com
mittee is looking hopefully to the
incoming administration to give
tie people of this country few in
structive object lessons in poli.i
economy, and we trust that this
expectation may be more than
realized. fit shall be, it will prove
more effective than would thousands
of tons of campaign literature in
convincing voters that the Republi-
can party, with whatever frailties it
may possess, is, after all, the safest
and best one with which to entrust
the management of our government
al affairs.
The above observations were
prompted by the fact that soon after
the close of the recent Presidential
campaign the Republican National
Committee determined to maintain
permanent headquarters at Wash
ington for the purpose of continuing
the political educational work carried
on during the campaign by the
distribution of literature of a purely
political character. Later, however,
this determination on the part OF
the committee was abandoned, lest
if carried out the business interests
of the country might be jeopardized
thereby. Upon more deliberation
it was thought best rather than to
do this, the administration and its
supporters in Congress should be
looked to for a record that would
enable the party to enter the
campaign of 1900 without the
necessity of having to make any
apologies, and record the benefit
cent influence of which upon the
industrial and commercial interests
of the country would be such as to
fully justify the confidence reposed
in the party at the late general
election.
