Family Finances.


New York Press.
The one thing that causes moro trouble
in the average household than all the
other dissension breeders combined Is the
matter Of the cost of living, It makes for
differences between fathers and mothers,
sons and daughters, servants and trades
people. In The Press OF Sunday there was
story which contained a really great
idea as TO a solution Of this economic and
social problem It was called MARY
Smith, Receiver" and pictured family
Of a widowed mother and four wage-earn-
ing daughters who were always i'm debt
and seemed destined TO end their days in
that condition. TO ono OF these girls,
whose business at one time was concerned
with the law was born the idea Of ap-
pointing herself receiver OF the family's
affairs, having all the money earned
turned over to her for year, she to as
sumo the burden Of the payment OF all
the debts and TO be the general system
otizer OF the household from cellar to gar
ret. When the year rolled around to its
close the receiver had not only pulled the
family out OF debt but given her mother
and sisters the happiest year OF their
lives.
Simple enough. II we'd only thought Of
it, might be the average comment on such
a proposition. SO was Columbus way Of
making an egg stand on end. But the
thing for some one in every household 10
do is to try this receivership plan, or al
least apply some feature Of 1t. to the fam,

THE NICARAGUA MIDDLE.

nUR government has finally decided to take
~ steps to put an end to the intolerable con-
ditions in Nicaragua. The war scare is on,
and it is amusing to read in some of the metro
politan papers a line up of the armies and navies
the fighting forces of the two countries. We
might as well give the fighting capacities OF
sx-weeks' old baby in one column and the di-
mansions of the Hon. Jim Jetfries in another
and line them up for battle
Our government has not acted hastll'- IN the
matter, but it certainly should have protected
American citizens living in Nicaragua. Had the
government had an American representative IN
the country as it should have had, probably the
two residents of this country who were cruelty
pitt to death by the Zelaya mnons would be
alive and kicking to-day
Had the government on the other hand plung-
ell into the affairs of Nicaragua, been medde-
some it would have essened our influence with
the other Central American and the South Amer
lean countries. The problem therefore, has been
difficult to deal with.
Zelaya is about at the end of his rope. The
fate of Castro awaits him. The Nicaragua pres
ident and his advisors paid no attention to the
protests made by the United States government
or by any other government
The action taken by this country therefore
means that we shall have to straighten out affairs
in the dmnutive republic and when that IS done
the people there will resume control over their
own matters.

When a merchant in the Hill district
who mad been standing IN front of his

other day. and begin looking over his
wares he naturally was pleased and
Immediately gave them attention.

A Southern paper suggests that il Mr. Taft is
fearful Of the Roosevelt Back from Elba" talk
he might appoint himself TO a place on the SUI
preme bench and turn over the government to the
Hon. James Schoocraft Sherman, Vce-Presi-
dent. If this should be done, the Supreme Court
would gain good member but the Back from
