From Apuinaldo To ouezon

The house of representatives lis
tened to scholarly address the other
day by Manuel l.. Quezon, one of the
resident commissioners in Washington
from the Philippines, in which he re-
viewed the history of American occu-
patton of the islands and recounted
the blessings that had flown there
from. Mr.. Quezon adverted In his pref
ace to the difficulty of making a
speech in a language not his own. He
said that under American rule 1.-The
Filipinos have enjoyed more per-
sonal and political liberty than they
ever did under the Spanish crown, I"
and he declared that he and all his
people we're grateful to the United
States government for its beneficent
reign.
But Mr.. Quezon, after enumerating
what he and his peope regarded as the
greatest American benefits, made an
eloquent plea for the elaboration of
the provisional government into au-
tonomy, citing the fact that twelve
years had elapsed since American oc-
cupation began on the archipelago and
eight since the institution of the pro-
visional authority
President Taft, who Is as well
posted on the Philippines as any
American, once said, 1.-THE Filipinos
will be ready for self-government
within forty years" That. of course, is
a long time to wait, but it is not near
so long comparatively as the lapse be-
tween the days of Aguinaldo, the
leader Of the instruction, to that of
Quezon, the accredited delegate to
the American congress. When the Fill.

Postal Savings Progress.

The caucus pledge of the republican
house members to expedite the passage
of the postal savings bank bill, while
not the same as enactment, is a most
encouraging step in that direction. The
majority members have agreed to every
section of the bill save that one pre-
scribing the use to which deposits
shall be placed and while this has been
the most serious obstacle for some
time, there is little doubt of it's being
surmounted, for the republicans in
congress are thoroughly realizing that
the people want this measure and that
President Taft is in earnest in his adj
vocacy OF it.
The attempt has been made to re-
quire all the deposits to be placed in
local banks and to remain there sub
ject to draft of the government only in
case of war or similar emergency.
Its conservative friends believe that,
to insure validity Of the law, provision
should be made for some investment of
funds In government securities and
this undoubtedly will be the ground
of common agreement. The only point
still at issue is as to the percentage of
the funds to be invested in bonds, but
this cannot at best be other than a
matter OF detail, for it is inconceivable
that real friends of the measure would
stick at percentage.
The passage of this bill will not only
redeem republican promises, but it will
serve to disclose further the insincer-
ity OF the democratic minority in this
congress. While preaching postal say.
ings from the house tops, the demo.
cratic senator's tried to trip UP the bill
and on final roll call we're all recorded
against it with one exception. Another
sidelight of interest is the attack made
upon the bill by Congressman South
wick of New York, who denounces II
as radically socialistic" and refused tt
remain in the caucus called to consider
IL. While this can have no serious eff
feet, 1t must discount the democratic
criticism that the bill is drawn in the
interest of the big New York bankers
1t remains to be seen what the demo
Gratis in the house will do when they
have to vote for or against postal saw
ings.

Democratic Degeneracy.

Although Il is constantly finding
fault with nearly everything and
everybody on the republican side. Col
lier's Weekly feels moved in its last
issue to indulge this comment on the
democratic membership of the house
u need occasion neither surprise nor re-
sentiment to say that the democrats now
I'm congress do not measure up in charac-
ter or ability to the average of the party
power and out Of responsibility for seven
teen years cannot help but degenerate in
personnel.
The point sought to be made is that
the democrats, IL they want to control
the next congress, must secure as can
didates men Of higher quality than
they now have in congress. The truth
OF Golfers assertion is self-evident
and can be verified by comparisons as
between democratic and republican
congressman from almost any state.
Take Nebraska, for example, where
our congressional delegation of six
members is evenly divided between
the two parties. Congressman Norris
is head and shoulders above Con-
gresham Hitchcock, the only expert
enced democratic member. Compare
Congressman Hinshaw of the Fourth
district with Congressman Mcguire,
the democratic nonentity of the First.
Compare Congressman Kinkaid of the
Sixth district with Congressman Latta,
the democratic do-nothing from the
Third.
And yet, how are the democrats
going to make any Improvement?
Every below-average democrat in con-
gress who wants to go back will have
no trouble in getting denomination.
How is the character and ability of
congress to be improved by returning
all the democratic driftwood now there
and adding few sticks of new tim
Der no better, II not worse?

Talks for people who sell things

why some Banks Do Not Advertise.
The same answers are usually given
by bank arrangements to the question,
why don't you advertiser" They
are, 1--WE are big enough; we don't
need to advertise" 1--WE think adver-
Using may be all right for the baking
powder manufacturer, but a bank can
not advertise without losing dignity in
the eyes of the world" or 1--WE are too
small; we would like to advertise, but
we cannot afford to do so. The an
swer, 1--WE do not know how to adver-
tise," is seldom given.
John Stuart Mill once remarked, ut
is better to be a man dissatisfied than
a pig satisfied" If a great institution
has attained pig-like contentment and
is satisfied, advertising is useless
expense. The only institution that
needs to advertise is the one that
wants growth and progress. II an ex-
cuse is needed the dignity idea is as
good as any other If 1t is felt that
there is still room for growth 1t is not
undignihed to tell those who need
banking facilities, what the bank has
to offer, in an unexaggerated and in
teresting series of advertisements.
These advertisements need not be
bombastic. ungrammatical or slangy,
but they should not be stupid, stiff and
uninteresting. Neither has enthusi-
asm any quarrel with dignity. An ad-
vertisement should be written as
though you were proud of every book
in the bank, and every check and draft
that has the banks name on 1t.
The people of Holland have a reputation
OF being tacituFn. They are men OF few
words. Two Hollanders started off, for a
days fishing. 10 a lake, some eight or
ten miles distant. They trudged along, mile
after mile. In silence. Finally, they passed
an attractive field OF wheat and one broke
the silence by saying, Wheat looks fine,
Omaha daily bee., 1910-06-03

but there was no reply. They fished ali
morning and neither spoke a word. Silently
they ate their lunch. They fished all after
noon, without word, and then trudged
homeward, over the road, by which they
had come. Neither uttered a syllable. AS
they passed the wheat field, which at
traced his companions attention, the other
fisherman looked to the opposite side Of
the road and said, oats, too"
This is the example followed by many
dignified banks in their advertising. They
speak seldom. In print, about their bank
and when they do they waste no words.
The adage, still waters run deep" is a
silly fiction. Silence Is more often the
result of stupidity than wisdom Has the
stolid Hollander gained a reputation for
wisdom and dignity, by his habit OF
silence? No. the Dutchman Is the emblem
the world over. for stupidity.
The large institution needs advertising,
il It Is stlll In q position to make further
growth without impairing its usefulness.
Three times a week Is not too often to
insert your advertisement. Frequent re-
petition, as has been brought out pre-
viously, makes results certain. Start out
with the idea that you will have to water
the plant regularly, this and next year. too.
IL growth and progress are necessity to
your institution, advertising is a necessity
not luxury.
The small institution. unquestionably,
needs advertising, because advertising is
a thing which can be a factor In helping
It grow and make progress.
The most serious obstacle against ad.
vertising is that the management Of most
banks think they have no money to spend
for advertising. They put advertising bills
In the donation Account-because they
haven't sufficient gray matter TO make II
a producer and not gift
Every banker will admit that II pays a
department store TO advertise. A bank can
no more afford not TO advertise, than O
department store. What II cannot afford
to do, is TO make no appropriation for
advertising. To make no advertising ap-
preparation is the same as not watering
a plant after II has gotten its roots In
the soil and 10 leave it's chance OF growth
to such rains as benefieence OF Providence
may happen TO shower upon IT, II you
want to make sure that your institution
will grow, advertise II. Don't leave the

The Late Governor Mickey.

The late Governor John Mickey
had the sympathy of all the people of
Nebraska during the long protracted
and distressing illness to which he has
at last succumbed, and his family has
their sympathy in this hour of bereave-
ment.
AS chief executive of Nebraska for
four years, while not demonstrating
unusual brilliancy, Governor Mickey
measured up well with those who have
occupied that Office in this state, and
earned the credit of being a faithful
public servant. While some of his
acts, 1t is true, failed to show the big
vision and d-mindedness looked
for, he was always conscientious in the
performance of his duty and made
good Roadway in putting the conduct
of our state institutions on a more
businesslike and efficient basis. His
reelection was an endorsement by the
people of the record of his first term S
administration, and he retired to pri-

his public acts at times severely, but
also recognized his worth, and accords
full measure to the public service he
rendered.

John L. Wants Peace.

The Hon. John Lawrence Sullivan
of Boston, connoisseur in the manly art
and dean of the pugilistic stage, has
Just returned from Great Britain
where he and his business associate,
Mr.. Jake Kilrain, gathered up few
of the shillings that happened to be
outside of the bank OF England and is
ready to give to the world his views
as to the duty and future of the new
king. incidentally, Mr.. Sullivan was
willing to venture hidden suggestion
as to the outcome of the race war now
pending in California. The discussion
OF cognate subjects has never been
one of Mr.. Sullivan's drawbacks, and
so he lays down rule of action for
King George to follow in all matters
of state and society with an abandon
as free as the swing of his goodly
right with which he used to put
to sleep so many Of his aspiring adver-
saries.
In the judgment of Mr.. Sullivan the
first and most solemn task confronting
Britain's new sovereign is the "cut-
ting out OF all this blank foolish
ness that takes all the peoples money
for war boats" One might presume
from events that have transpired dur
ing the picturesque career of this Bos-
ton erudite that he would be predis-
posed in favor of war, but such is not
the case. He argues as support to his
peace doctrine that 1.-THE whole country

The man who killed the goose which laid
the golden eggs was first cousin to those
people who are crying out against the high
price of farm products.
High price of farm products Is always
the signal for general prosperity. There
can be no general prosperity when low
prices for farm products prevail.
Instead of crying out against high prices
for farm products, we should be crying out
for higher wages for all working people,
mechanics clerks school teachers-indeed
for all salaried people.
IL the present era Of general prosperity
shall be succeeded by an era Of hard times,
the fact will not be due to the high price
OF farm products, but it will. be due to a
