The pawning Of the wedding ring has
become a pathetic commonplace to
those who are familiar with police
court and coroner's court stories or
with the private petitions for help Of
the deserving and unGeserviIg poo.
But we confess that With the West
Minister magistrate we have never
heard before Of pawning bank books.
Yet on expert pawnbroker's evidence
ELECTED by police inquiry it is found
that this is not at all all unusual prac-
tee. IN the vast majority Of cases it
would seem to be a simpler matter TO
draw on the bank account rather than
borrow on the strength of it from the
paWnshop. But one of the unfortunate
possibilities Of the practice is revealed
IN the particular case mentioned at
Westminster. A picture frame maker.
wishing TO withdraw Is from the bank,
could not find his bank book and then
learned that his Wife Lad been putting

Robinson Crusoe. Economist.

When the average boy spends the de.
lighted hours Of imaginative youth in
devouring the pages of Robinson Cru.
SOC" he has, like most people of more
mature years, no idea that lie is perus-
ing a work of profound philosophy
written by Il Of the greatest political
thinkers of the English speaking race.
Taken with a knowledge of the facts
OF the career of De Foe, Robinson
Crusoe' can properly be considered a
story intended to illustrate the heavy
burden of trouble placed upon any sin
gle individual isolated from his fellows
and compelled to maintain his ex;s1
ence without their aid. The tale shows
IN an inimitable way how all civilized
men are interdependent. Regarded
from this point Of view, the author Of
the most widely read work of fiction
aver written becomes an object of BAR
hcular interest to ali thinkers upon
polltics.-William n. Hill, NJ. D, in

The President and His Friends.

Senator Lodge says 1.-The president
will not seek a denomination" but an
other close friend Of Mr.. Roosevelt says
he may demand a third term if con-
gress does not pass the laws he thinks
are necessary. The Democrats will
keep their powder dry and elect a con-
gress that will pass the laws the people
want and trust that President Roose-
welt will sign the bills. AS Senator
Lodge has never favored or voted for
the laws the people want, the sooner
President Roosevelt divorces himself
from such political friends as Lodge
the better it will be for him. The only
issues that Lodge and the president
really agree upon are the Santo Domin-
go and Venezuela matters, and in each
case President Roosevelt has been "too
previous and will have to back water.

National Banks and the Law.

Secretary Shaw seems to be able to
discover a great difference between
tweedledum and tweedledee, for he
says:
Il did not say the bankers in the
United States were doing the same
thing all the time chat Bank Wreckcr
Walsh did. l said the law (that Walsh
did not heed was being frequently
violated"
Anyway the bankers are breaking the
law Frequently" and Secretary Shaw,
whose business it is to see the national
banking laws are obeyed for the pro-
lection of those who deposit their mon
ey in the banks, is quite al guilty as
the bank wreckers if he shuts his eyes
to their evasion Of the law. AS Presi-
dent Roosevelt does not call down his
secretary of the treasury, he, like
Shaw, evidently is willing the bankers
may disobey the law at the expense Of
the people.

CLERKS.
Why They Are Unable to Put Money
In Carvings Banks.

In Carvings Banks.
Secretary Shaw wants the govern
ment clerks at Washington TO save
some money and proposes il bis annual
report that q savings bank be estab-
lished for the exclusive use Of the gov
eminent clerks, the bank to pay i per
cent interest to such depositors. That
may be q good plan, but why confne
such a savings bank to the government
clerks. who virtually have life posi-
tons? Why does Secretary Shaw not
recommend a postal savings bank that
all citizens could avail themselves Of ?
But, as he informs us, The government
clerks salaries are 25 per cent higher
than paid for similar work elsewhere.
and yet few clerks save money.
The great trouble with the plan pro-
posed is that the tariff fostered trusts
and combines have increased the cost
Of living about 40 Per cent, and most
government clerks and other people
with stationary incomes find it impossi-
BILE to save any money now the cost Of
living is so high. AS long as the tariff
ideas of Secretary Shaw prevail and
the Republican party controls congress
there vii! be no real reform Of the tariff
and high prices will continue to bleed
the government clerks as well as the
balance of rs.

santo Domingo situation.

A good many people besides Presi-
dent Roosevelt are perplexed about the
situation in Santo Domingo, for with
Morales abdicated there is no n left
who would seem to fill the bill as the
president described Morales in his mes
sage to congress when he said, "For-
tunately just at this time a ruler
sprang up in Santo Domingo but the
ruler has taken to the %chapnrral. and
the senate has the treaty which the
administration made with him hung
up for exhibition. but not for ratifca-
ton.

THE GRANGE AND REFORM.
Republicans Control the National
Organization.

NeI'unilcHHA SOn1rOk the National
Organization.
The Republican ring that has by the
ordinary partisan political methods OBJ
tanned control OF the national grange
organization is naturally not much in
sympathy with the reforms the people
desire. That this is the case is shown
by the efforts of the legislative COM
mlttse of the national grange. who are
IN washington, to urge congressional
legislation to remove the tax Oh alco-
hol and to establish a parcels post.
The committee members are: Govern
or Bell of Vermont, Ex-Governor Bach
elder Of New Hampshire, Aaron Jones
Of Indiana, past master Of the national
grange, and Il. B. Norris of New York.
These are all Republican politicians
and either holding or seeking office,
which for q nonpartisan organization,
or which pretends to be nonpartisan,
Is rather extraordinary. If removing
the internal revenue tax from alcohol
is the most important reform that these
partisan grangers a discover to urge
congress to act upon when there are so
many great issues awaiting decision
that affect the farmers, they might as
we'll return to their arduous duties Of
talking to Pomona and Ceres as to
waste their time in Washington talk
Ing to congressman.
Why don't these grange politicians
urge congress to pass a railroad rate
bill that will absolutely prevent the
railroads from charging unreasonable
rates? Is it because they have railroad
passes in their pockets, like most Of
their brother politicians Of the domi-
nant political party? Why don't they
urge congress to revise the tariff so
that the farmers can sell in the dearest
market and buy in the cheapest mar
ket, whereas now they are buying ev-
erything at high protected trust prices
and selling their products at the price
fixed in the free trade markets Of the
world and being cut off from some
markets altogether by opposing pro-
lection, as in Germany? Not a word
against the trusts and corporations
which are plundering the people by
wholesale, but great show of effort for
insignificant propositions that may be
Of some small advantage, but weigh
nothing in the present fight of the peo-
pie against organized greed, graft and
corruption.
The members Of the local oranges are
good, honest citizens laboring under
many disadvantages that the present
trust era imposes on the taxpayers.
When they travel they have to pay
their fare, and while the railroads are
paying millions on watered stocks
wrung from the farmers by unreason-
able rates on their produce and Oh
what they buy their representatives on
this legislative committee, whose ex-
penses they are paying, are lounging
at expensive hotels at the capital of
the nation peddling trivial propositions
that may do as much harm as good to
the average farmer.
The effort of the reform members of
the national grange at the last annual
meeting to have the weight Of the or
ganization thrown on the popular side
Of the great issues was defeated by the
Republican politicians, Of whom the
committee named above are the lead
ers. If grangers want reform they will
have to elect reformers to present
them.
