PAY CASH

4 Los ANGELES bank president has
N said: eve understand that some
IA employers in the city have issued
a notice that any employees check
returned with a saloon Endorsement
will bring about the discharge of the
employee" This is unfair Both pay
checks and ordinary checks issued to
wage workers are often cashed in sa-
looms for the reason it is impossible
for employees to get them cashed any
where else. If payment by check is
made on Saturday, the wage Garner
generally has to buy provisions or give
his wife money for housekeeping ex-
penses. If he cannot get his check
cashed readily by merchants with whom
he attempts to deal, he must go to a
saloon keeper or a CHECK shaver or
"angel."
We don't know why any pne of an
usurious disposition should be entitled
to the name "angel," but a financier
who is willing to give a workingman
cash for a check is generally regarded
by that workingman as angelic, even
although he charge "commission." For
people who earn such small wages
they must live from week to week (and
from hand TO MOUTH, and cannot afford
the luxury Of a bank account, q cash
payment is the only payment that full

SORROW RIDES

NrOST automobile accidents may be
M attributed to carelessness, and
4lA careIessness seems to distinguish
automobile driving more than any other
kind of sport. There must be scien-
tifc or a philosophical reason for it.
When an automobile is whizzing along
at from forty to sixty miles an hour,
the pulses are quickened. and there
ensues a kind of auto-intoXication diff
ferent from the variety familiar to
pathology. Under the stimulus or tie
abandon of this auto-intoxication. 1t is
easy to mlsquote a famous poem and
say at the end Of the ride, "On with
the Jag! Let JOY be unconfned."
If this somewhat desperate resolution
should be taken when there is a clear
headed chauffeur at the wheel no harm
will be done except to the proprieties,
which may be violated by the bac-
chanalian passengers. But when a fes-
tive person is responsible for the man
agement Of the machine during the long
ride from there" to back again." the
ride is apt to degenerate into a wild
joy ride, and the erratic movements OF
an inebrlated brain are reproduced in
an exaggerated form in the gyrations
Of the automobile, which, after describ-
ing parabolas, arcs and segments of
circles, finally tries to go full speed
ahead in several directions at the same
time, and on the nearest obstacle fren-
ziedly immolates itself to the god of
speed. OF the joy rider, at this climac-
tic juncture, it may be said the subse-
quent proceedings interest him no more
until he is revived Many joy rides
end in being sorrow rides.

Professor Francis, principal of the
Polytechnic high school, says success
lies not so much in the genius of tai
ent as in the genius of hard work.
The genius of an occupation that will
respond to hard work and give some
semblance of appreciation of it has
also something to do with success.
According to our friends argument, a
slave with a genius for hard work
would be a highly successful-slave.

A frenzied demonstration OF well

OF the man who conquered them

Grant a moment. Thv. he turned
In his saddle and yelled:

With one of the old-time rebel
yells, the division. remnants of For
rests Cavalry, charged upon tho
stand and jostled one another for an
opportunity to shake the hand OF
the son of their old-time enemy
From that moment every grey-clad
Veteran who could reach the stand
rushed up to shake hands with Gen.
Grant. The stocky army officers
gray eyes filled with tears and tis
shoulders shook with emotion as he
murmured: God bless YOU ell,
boys. God bless YOU" giving each
cordial hand-grasp.
Battle-torn banners were grouped
at his feet and waved over his head
in salute. One old officer rode up to
the stand, seized Gen. Grant hand
and kissed him on the cheek. ex-
claiming: "GCd blcAs YOU. boy, |
