Editor Home Problem:
Sir: ] nave been interested in read
ing the answers to your request for the
best essay on the best layout of ten
dollars per week for man, wife and two
children. For the life of me l have not
discovered where the least grain of
comfort has appeared in any of the
menus so far furnished. | am awfully
afraid the statements made are almost
all of them entirely p~roblematical and
built upon co~njectures. Just to get an
idea l asked the madame where | hung
up my hat, something about the price
of meat, and l got it straight. Eight
and one-half pounds of lamb, five
pounds of beef and four pounds of
bacon, 81. 93-six adults used in six
meals. with other fixings. Pie does not
figure even once on the bill of fare.
/ have In my minds eye where a fam
lily, man, wife and eight children, who
subsist on $3.50 per week and pay $14
rent per month. Show me how four
can live on $40 per and occasionally eat
pie, with a stick of candy for the kids
once in awhile, and ! might be induced
to double up. Yours for comfort,
H. G. LEUMAS.
The other letter has q direct bearing
on this. The writer did not give his
name and his answer cannot be con-
sidered in this contest. However, he
enclosed an advertisement clipped
from the Philadelphia Record of Sep
TENDER 2. This was entitled Transit
Talks" A ~sub-caption read. Average
Wage High and under his was the
following:
Locomotive works have had a
greater number of workers. but not for
a year past.
AND our average weekly wage, $i0.O5,
compare favorably with the average
pay of workers in industries that make
Philadelphia fame as a manufactur-
ing centre.
ut eXceeds the average weekly earn
ings of 1858 in carpet and rug factories,
and the $5.91 average In hosiery and
knit goods establishments; likewise the
average of 1854 earned by cotton goods
workers."
Mr.. Leumas, now, may understand
man, wife and two children-live on a
weekly wage OF $40? For the six best

Minnesota "a: Nebraska 0.

Omaha, Oct. 18.-Minnesota took the
measure of the Nebraska football team
by score of IA to 0. The score hard
ly reflects the offensive playing of the
two teams, as at least nine of the Min
nesota points resulted from careless
ness, but no excuses can be made for
the Nebraska team, since the Gopher
eleven excelled in all the material
points of the game.
The contest was characterized by
both accidents and roughness, the
most serious result of which was a
broken leg for Johnson of Minnesota,
which will put him out of the game
for the remainder Of the year. Twice

against roughness and were threatened
with expulsion from the game.
Neither side scored during the first
half, and it appeared at the nnish of

the contest was an equal one. The
Nebraskans weakened early in the sec
ond half, however, and after Johnson
had been eliminated from the contest

ShaIIenberaer DepIores.

Lincoln, Oct. lS.-ln statement on
the action of the two federal judges
who declared the Nebraska bank
guaranty law unconstitutional Cover.
nor Shallenberger deplores the ruling
as smacking, he says, of partisanship
and is, he believes, distinct blow at
remedial state legislation. Governor
Shallenberger also declares that the
reference of the case to the federal
instead of the state judiciary is a
usurpation of power. He says in
part:
"The decision is not wholly sur
prise. 1t is exactly what these who
for partisan or selfish reasons are
opposed to any effective guaranty of
deposits law desired. 1t goes to the
very heart of the question and denies
the right of the state to require the
banks, which exist by virtue of their
charters, to pay a corporation tax to
create a guaranty fund, or to pre-.
scribe form and manner upon which
the banking business shall be con.
Quoted. 1t appears to leave banking
no more of matter for public legis-
lation or limitation than the grocery
or butcher business.

by the decree of the court was frarght
with great benefit to the people, |
am sure that the people desired the

BANKING Board Is Enjoined.

Lincoln, Oct. 1S. - The Nebraska
state banking board is permanently en-
ioined from enforcing the bank guar
anty act passed by the last Legislature
by decree entered in federal court
Saturday afternoon by Judge T. c..
Munger, Circuit Judge Vandevanter
concurring.
The syllabus touches upon two
points Q) That the enforced guar
anty Is violation of section l of the
fourteenth amendment to the federal
constitution which says that property
shall not be taken without due process
of law, and (2) that the confinement
of banking to corporate bodies, void
provision, was an inducement to the
passage of the act, and that the en-.
tire act is therefore invalid.
The judge cites a number Of cases
wherein it Is stated that the right to
do business is a personal and inherited
right and not franchise. 1t Is stated
that banking is business not unlike
! that of the grocer or dry goods mer.
chant; that the failure Of bank af-
fects a community no differently than
the failure of any business institution
except in degree only. 1t is held that
an enforced guaranty of deposits is
an unlawful taking of another's prop
erty, beyond the powers OF regulation
belonging to the state, and that the
state may not, through taxation, bear
down upon one man to make another
rich.
The attempt to force all bankers to
incorporate their business is void, says
the court, and as it was an induce
ment to the passage of the act the
entire fabric must fall through this
defect. The court points out that it
does not discuss the question of wheth-
er incorporated banks may, without
reference to individual bankers, be
compelled to submit to some sort of
guaranty.
The court says that the guaranty
idea is not analogous to licenses and
other fees imposed by the state, be.
cause such powers are exercised under
the general idea that the state Is mere
ly collecting the cost of inspection.
/ The opinion apparently strikes at
the very heart of an enforced guaran.
ty. 1t also wipes out entirely the ques-
tion of the right of the state to en-
force all banking institutions to in.
corporate.
The way is left open for only a vol.
untary guaranty act. The case will
be appealed to the supreme court of
the United States.

CrutChfieId Should Beware.

If Police Judge Crutchfeld, of Rich
mond, does not mind he will have the
sufTregette army to fight. This dread
ful man says that man has a right
to stay out as late as 1870, and that
his wife has no right tn raise row If
he sits on a neighbours porch talking
politics until late hour. He says
that a married man does not mean to
have them imposed upon too much.
1t seems that Mrs. Shelpin rang the
bell for her husband to come home at
$50, and when he INDUCED in politics
and cigars on neighbor'S porch later
than that she made so much racket
that she was arrested, and Judge
Crutchheld laid down the law to her
and told her that her curfew bell must
stop and that he intended to protect
the downtrodden man and give him
liberty to stay out at night until 10 80
if he wanted to. This Judge is brave
man, but if the Rev. Anna Shaw or
one of her party gets hold Of him they
will make him repent of saying Cur
few shall not ring tonight they will
just pulverize him and consign him to
the "demnition bow-wows. -
They ought to send the person there
who invented the hideous hats the wO-
men are wearing now. We believe
that a rusty y-crusty old bachelor who
hated women paid some of the fellows
IN Paris to start up this horrid head
gear in order to make pretty women
ugly and ugly ones hideous. Now.
don't you really think so? In place
of being dreams OF beauty, they are
nightmares of uglineSs. The mush
roomis horrid, the peach basket worse.
and the scoop worst of all. The min
