provided it should never be sold to

and therefore the provision of the

1t had always struck us that there
is where it comes. As soon as public
sentiment is strong enough, some of
these gents of the"ermine and wool
sacks" will take a whack at some
other irregularities These judges
are of splendid ability, or else they
could not climb on the bench; but
they are fettered often by strong pub
lie views, in the face of which it
would be folly to hand down con
trary' opinions. This has in mind
the unfortunate race situation. And
we say in all earnestness that under
the circumstances it is fortunate that
they seem to pass down the law, al
though it could be of other construct
ing, abiding the time when the public
is prepared in the better part to hear
the laws intent. Laws are the ex-
preston Of the sentiments of the ma
jority and not arbitrary conditions TO
be forced on a people against the ma
jor consent. If our race will view the
matter in some such light they will
toll none the less, but with patience
at winning the majority consent. The
fundamental principle Of advanced
nations and the very essence of
Republican government by the voice

THE YOUNG MEMS PROTEC-
TIVE LEAGUE.

The last meeting of the Young
Mems Protective League was full of
excitement and sensations. Attorney
Royal Hughes attempted to make a
report concerning the recent suit that
DR.. S. NJ. Pierce instituted, but he
was prevented by Attorney Perrie w.
Frisbie; chairman of the board of
directors.
President Singleton ordered the
Sergeant-at-arms to put attorney Fris-
bic out because that gentleman re-
fused to be seated to allow attorney
Hughes to explain the loss of the re-
cent suit against the League. Presi-
dent Singleton found out that attor-
ney Frisby was sustained by three
fourths of the membership present.
Attorney Hughes then turned to
pay his respects to ex-president
Brown who Immediately forced him
to retract; then he turned to Jesse
Footer, who caused attorney Hughes
to take the Ankle Express. At this
juncture, it took two dozen members
tc hold Mr.. Footer.
After the excitement had calmed
down, attorney Frisby was placed in
the chair, and the business of the
meeting was ended
L IS quite likely that DR.. Pierce
will institute other legal proceedings
against the League.

The conference, which is being held

aminers' work with view to radical
Improvement. Later Mr.. Murray will
hold a conference with the Western

The discussion was along the lines
of securing better methods. Mr.. Muir
ray, in his speech, said that some of
their reports to him indicated that a
few examiners do not realize the OBJ
legations of the Office and indicate hur-
ried work. He said examiners should
call upon committee of two or three
members of the board of directors to
go over the entire accounts of the
bank with the examiner, that the ex-
aminers must be ready to accept as
signment anywhere in the United
States and that if 'you are unable to
discover the true condition of bank

your resignation and your commission

IS THERE A CHIP RESTING
UPON YOUR SHOULDER ?

Some people pride themselves on the
chips they carry and wouldn't unload
them if they could.
They get in the insult hunting habit
and are so successful in their quest
that they find one when 1t Is not there.
If the chronic grievance were the
worst of it! But the chip bearer al
ways must hit back.
The soft answer, turn-your-other-
cheek treatment of wrongs, seems to
the person who is always hunting
trouble hopelessly out of date, v
weak kneed. but it a a way of oblit-
Grating wrongs that the pugilistic
method rarely achieves.
If the chip carers were only willing
to fight out their own battles; but they
have a Partially for an audience and
hackers, which Is not conducive to
peace in the community.
There is no one 80 trying nor so I'M
popular as the one who is always
lighting mad"
If for no other reason. the desire TO
be loved should make us willing, yes
anxious, to unload our chips.
1t can be done. too, though it may
be a slow process. this outgrowing the
habit. Make the beginning
by trying to overcome your sensitive,
nature and little by little
you will find your shoulders free from
trouble breeding oad of chips and
this world is a fairly friendly
place after all.
