Hoffman Visited by Representa-
tive OF State Mutual.

On visit last week to the Gen
eral Agency of the State Mutual
Life Assurance Co., of Massachus-
cts, in this city, under the charge
of Mr.. Fl. g. Hoffman, the Super
intendent of Agencies, Mr.. Edgar
G. Fowler, of the Home Office,
placed his certificate of approval
on the business done by this en-
terprising office; both as to volume
of business done and the methods
employed in the conduct of the
company's affairs.
Mr.. Fowler, while here, was the
guest of General Agent Hoffman
who, that evening. entertained
him at his home at which his
agents gathered with him and a
most pleasant, as well as instruct
i've evening was passed.
AS a compliment to Mr.. Fowler
an extra effort was made for bust
ness for tie motnh and October,
1911, shows on the company's
books as the largest in the history
of the agency.
Mr.. Hoffman is rapidly develop
ING the territory of which he has
charge and now that his home
county is so thoroughly developed
he has begun planting agencies in
other sections. all of which are re-
porting n splendid business.
General Agencies of Life In
surance companies are, as rule,
located in cities and it is quite a
compliment to Mt. Sterling to
have such an office, where from
$4,000 to 100000 is now being
annually collected in premiums.
Both of the managers of this pa
per are policy-holders in this
grand old company and with hun
dre,l of policv-holders in this toun-
IT, can only wish them that their
connection may long continue AS
at present with Mr.. Hoffman,
whose courteous treatment to his
policyholders should be, and is,
appreciated.

AS TO "ROoK."

The rock appears to have become
the bird whose name stands for swim
Tiers in a distinctly unfair way, the
london Chronicle says. At first

so rock" came TO mean to cheat.
and out of this was evolved "-ook."
cheater-a complete topsy-turvy
process. 1t is curious that the same
thing has not happened to gull"
Here also the verb came from the
substantive meaning a dupe, and, as
the gull strikes one as rather know
ing bird, one might have expected
the same evolution as in the case of
the rock. 1t should be observed,
however, that gull dupe did not
refer specially to the seaguIl, the
word having formerly meant a
Young bird of any kind. In Eliza
hethan English it signifed a callow
voungster who wished to be thought
smart.

A Message from the Hills.

Now that the Gubernational con-
test is drawing to a close only a
few more days of patient waiting
and all will be over as far as CAM
pagning and the election is con-
cerned. Even our Republican
friends must confess that Governor
Wilson's administration has been
failure thus far. From every
view point it is a deplorable fact
tlat under Wills, =, &dministra-
ti)n our burden of taxation has
steadily been growing heavier
year by year. lie has squandered
the money left in the treasury by
Democratic administration, and
vet in the face Of all these facts
Judge O'Redr, standing on the
same platform, advocating the
same principals, rises up before
the people of Kentucky and asks
for their support. 1t reminds US
of the old m1xium: you may
fool part of the people part of the
time, but you can't fool all of the
people all the time" The Judge
seems to think the Republican
party like the King, can do no
wrong. We have implicit faith
in the Hon. james B. McCreaav.
We believe that he will be the
Muses. of his people; he will
deliver US from the Egyptlon
bondage as it we're, and finally no
the savior or his people. There is
not Democrat SO far as | know
that even for moment doubts the
election of McCreary. Yet some
hot headed Republicans, with the
facts before them as plain to1be
read as an open book, are support
ing Judge O'Rear, possibly blind
ed by partisan hate through their
leaders. We would say to such,
lay aside the yoke which doth ST.
easil, beset you, and vote to your
own interests. McCreary's words
are those of sage. | know not
whether he has read Socrates or
Plato, but this | know, there is in
his discourses majestic simplicity
that elcvates him far above those
who seek to pull him down to-
gether with Democratic principles.

HOW TEXAS WILL CELEBRATE
To Spend $25,ooo.ooo on Roads u
Honor Of One Vote That Re-
suited In Annexation.

Twenty-Five millions of dollars is
a large sum to pay out in return for
one vote. but the state of Texas is
going to spend that amount during
the coming year as result of one
solitary vote cast in the state of In
diana many years ago. The curious
explanation is as follows:
The annexation of Texas to the
Union was accomplished by a ma
Jority Of one vote in the senate. The
deciding vote was cast by Senator
Hennegan of Indiana. Senator Hen
negan was elected to the senate by
one vote in the Indiana house. That
vote was cast by Madison March,
who was elected to the Legislature by
one vote. II Texas could discover
the identity Of the man who cast the
one vote that elected Madison Marsh
the state would probably name a new
county after him. In lieu Of that,
however, Texas is going to spend Sc
$25, 100000 on its roads.

CIVIC cENTERs IN AMERICA

The idea is steadily gaining

marked effect upon the beauty as

Office authorized by congress last

the new public library, the new
court house and the city hall. will
give the city a civic center of strik-
ing distinction. 1t will be necessary
to remove the Second National bank
building, which was erected only a
few years ago, but even this sacri-
fee will be well worth while in con-

FARMERS AND RECIPROCITY

One of the many resolutions for
warded to Congress says: I'VE hold
that the farmer should receive ex-
actly the same measure of protec-
ton as the manufacturer and there
should be no reduction of duties on
farm products unless the duties on
all manufactured articles are at the
same timecorrespondingly reduced"
This is the fine old pork barrel
docterine of protection; but very
few, even among the most obdurate
standpat Republicans, have the har-
dihood to confess it so openly. 1t
means that every interest that can
command political influence must
have equal protection with every
other interest 50 situated regardless
of whether it is needed or not. The
most that the Republican platform
promised was protection based on
The difference in cost of production.
Now, the cost of agricultural pro-
duction is substantially the same in
Canada as in this country. The
only difference arises from some
what higher valuation of farm la nds
this side of the border; but that
difference, taking the average of the
two countries, is slight. Our far
mer's shorter haul to our markets
quite overcomes it. The tariff
board reports that the wages of farm
hands are practically the same in
Manitoba and Minnesota, in Sas-
katchewan and North Dakota; the
yields of wheat to the acre are
practically the same in both coun-
tries; the price of horses, cattle,
swine and sheep is higher in Can
ada than here. .-
Farmers need no protection
against Canadian products. Some
manufacturers want protection
against European products in order
to hold up domestic prices on the
farmer. The spirit of the pork
barrel resolution quoted above is
exactly what will secure protection
for them if any thing will.-Post.

PACIFIC STATES MOST THRIFTY

Since savings banks deposits rep
resent to considerable degree the
accumulations of wage-earners, the
statistics of these savings should at
tract public interest. In 1910 there
! were S,342,9OS depositors in the
,75S savings banks of this country,
with total of 5000, 900, 900 to
their credit. How rapid has been
the increase in the number of de.
positors is made apparent when we
consider that in 1920 they were less
than 5000, in 1850 only about
25O, 900, that in 1866 the number
for the first time passed the l,OOO.-
600 mark, and in 1891 the number
was about 100000, or half as
many as at present.
The deposits in these savings
banks exceeded 5, 900, 100000 for
the first time in 1855, and passed
the 50, 900, 100000 mark in 1898.
TO the 81 1000, 900, 900 of deposits in
the savings banks there should be
added total of S576, 100000 in
savings bank deposits in nearly g.
OOO national banks, so that the
total savings subject to the call of
depositors is now nearly $780,
100000. If all Of these savings
bank depositors should withdraw
their savings on the same day there
would not be enough money in the
United states to pay them it all our
gold, silver, paper money and frac-
tional coin should be given to them.
Not only has the total number Of
depositors and the amount depos-
tied increased with remarkable
rapidity, but the average per depos-
itor has increased nearly four-fold
in little less than century, grow
log from Sl3l. So in 1920 to $445. 20
liza 1910. The average to each de-
positor in the New England States
is 1896, in the Eastern States $685.

in the Middle Western States $780,
Al, in the Western States S2O6.OS,

EIGHT HOUR Law APPLIES
TO ALL WOMEN

That the eight hour law for
women applies to bookkeepers and
stenographers is the opinion OF
Charles F. Hubbard who says that
the law providing for an eight hour
day for women employees of mer-
camille and mechanical establish
ments, hotels, restaurants and
laundries, makes no exception
and he shall make none but will
enforce the law in the case of book
keepers and stenographers as well as
in the case of women employed at
manual labor.

TIE PICKERING FILM

One hears some denunciation of
moving picture shows as a demon
alizing influence. Moving pictures,
as they are represented, constitute
a grave menace, poisoning our
fountain at its source, SO large
proportion of the visitors are chill
dren, or at least minors. Our own
observation, however, shows that
the pictures an wordless dramas
are, for the most part, more clearly
and less silly than the usual enter
tainment of the so-called acting
stage. What is more, the standard
is rising, whether one gauges it from
the technican's standpoint or from
the moralist's. Many of the films
show scenes that stimulate whole
some laughter, such as is seldom
heard at performances OF impor-
ted farce at two dollars a seat.
Many of the plays acted in panto-
mime, with a word of explanation
! flashed on the screen now and
again, are adaptations of well-known
novels of wide range. Adaptations
are frequently made from uncopy-
righted plays--William Shakespeare
for example. Many of the films
are educational rather than dram
attic; historical scenes have long
been represented, and more lately
travel and industrial scenes have
been illustrated. In Edinburgh,
Scotland, old ladies of presbyterian
principles still frown upon eld-fash-
toned theatrical performances, but
crowd the palace Of the winking film.
There is nothing inherently vicious
about the silent stage. 1t has cut
deep into the profits of theaters,
especially vaudeville theaters, the
world over, simply because it offers
better value for the admission price.
And it has come to stay -Ex.

.FILIPINOS QUIT
S. S. MANCHURIA
Musicians Heed Their Own
"Home Sweet Home" After
Making One Trip.

True to the "Call of the East, - the
band of Filipino musicians who we're
engaged for the Pacific Mail liner Man
churia by Mr., schwerin arrived on the
Rubi yesterday, convinced that the
Philippines are the only country in the
world worth while, reports the Manila
Cablenews of January 15.
When Mr.. Schwerin instituted the
Filipino band experiment. on the Pa
cifc Mail liners he little dreamed that
he would have a concrete example of
the Philippine labor problem on his
hands. From a musical standpoint
these bands proved an instantaneous
success, but alas, Filipino musicians
were never meant to be sailors, SO they
say.
1t has been suggested that if the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company would
install cockpit, monte game and a
special deck for the accommodation of
the better halves of the members of
the orchestra, ON board its steamers, a
few of the native sons of Orpheus
might be induced to remain on board
for more than one trip. Otherwise it
looks as if the 'fFilipino orchestra !"
experiment might have to be relegated
to the already well-stocked shelf of
Filipino labor disappointments.
However, the local agents for the
company will try again, and win send
another band to Hongkong to meet the
Manchuria, before she leaves on her
homeward voyage.
The company furnished each musi-
clan with fine uniform before they
left Manila, and the agents had con-
siderable trouble in getting them back,
the musicians claiming they were en-
titled to them.
