office of a great state like New York,

have calmness of mind and serenity
of spirit as well as courage, force, in

your heart be troubled" is about the
best wish that a man could desire
from che one person in the world most
interested in his success and in pre-
serving for him something of the COM
fort and happiness of life in the battle
upon which he is entering. Gov. Dix
message seems to win approval. 1t is
that of a business man who sees in the
financial Situation-in the fact that
outgo is increasing far more rapidly
than income-the place upon which his
efforts should be centrated. Eco
nornical expenditure is to be his
watchword- None is wiser or more
popular. He must get more for his
taxpayers money and cut off waste
and corruption. If Gov. Dix can dem

voters of the state of New York he
has an opportunity for promotion to
the head of the national government

The Check in France.

To the average American who has
been accustomed to draw his check
for amounts large or small, as the case
may be, and to have his checks ac-
copied without question in lieu of SO
much currency, it is interesting to
know that only within the last decade
or so has the use of checks for pay
ment come into anything like general
practice in France. Not many years
ago, so great was the suspicion with
which checks We're looked upon in that
country, that many commercial houses
even insurance companies-refused
to deliver the receipt until the check
had been cashed. The check appears
gradually to be coming into favor in
France, however. In the year 1900 the
number of checks drawn in Paris on
Paris was 9,S19,450. In 1909 1t had
increased to 9,819,920. In the same
time the number of chicks drawn in
Paris on other localities increased
from 1,S25,s60 to 2.241,635 Thus IL
viii be seen that the French apprecia-
tion OF this convenient method of pay
ment is spreading at q considerable
rate Manchester Union

A Practical Philanthropy.

Believing that if the instinct to
save is inculcated in youth it will
become an established trait through
life, Henry Crandall of Giens Falls,
N. Y, on the last day of 1910 called
around him 100 boys from the age of
II to 16 and made them this offer:
L will open bank account of s25 for
each of you, on condition that each
boy add to it at least $3.50. When
this is done I will add $3.50, thus as
surfing at least 500. Then for every
dollars up to $50 additional 1 will add
dollar, thus assuring at least 5000
The amount Is to remain until the
holder is 81 years of age and is then
to be at his disposal.
The proposal appeared so fair and
liberal that SO of the boys have ac=
cepted the terms. If they persist in
their efforts it can be seen that each
will have a good sized amount to
his credit on his 21st birthday. Mr.
Crandall has proposed strange phil
anthropy but it is founded in com
nonsense and must appeal to young
men who are made of the right stuff

The Hartford Woman's College club

For many years l have been running
a cattle station in Queensland, where
snakes are tolerably numerous. At the

and have been practically free from

to the presence of our cats 1 have no

to loosen up and have a good time.
Let people save money in bad times,

There's no sense In talking about
the good old virtues of our fathers, as
though they had monopoly of right
eousness. Our fathers were just as
sporty as we are and now that they're
dead they don't regret the money they
burned. The fact is that the average
man on earth today has $40 where his
father had 81. My father had no auto
mobile, but he kept a thoroughbred
saddle horse that was a bigger ex-
travagance, considering his income,
than touring car would be for me.

one of these up-to-date machines for

cost as much as a farm. If your faith
err could have seen you he'd have

THE MOST SIGNIFICANT THING.

The righteousness Of the stand TAX
Ell by Governor Baldwin with refer
.lce TO womans rights is attracting
attention in all states of the union.
The Richmond (Va~) Times Despatch
after quoting from the inaugural ad-
dress of the new governor of Connec-
ticut rs follows:
81 do not think the time has come
for amending our constitution SO as
to extend the privileges of the cleo
torate to women. 1t will not come
until they are generally DESTROYS of
such a change, and at present l see no
evidence of any such general desire.
But 1t is within the power of the gem
eral assembly to make women who are
assessed for taxes upon their property
eligible to vote on all questions of
municipal management
Proceeded to point out that:
More than a thousand men are
employed BY the city of Richmond,
and the taxpayers of this town, women
taxpayers as well as men taxpayers,
are paying these men in salaries, COM
missions, etc, etc, more than q mil
lion dollars annually.
This is the first year when the
city's pay roll has passed the million
dollar mark. Men may talk about the
extravaganza of the women all we
like; but we all know that if they had
the chance of saying a word on this
subject they would find out why the
payroll IS over a million dollars. The
women of this country are the great
est economists in the world and can
get more out of dollar any day than
all the men that ever lived. AS a
large part Of this particular million is
taken out of their pockets, no one can
blame them for wishing to be in a
position to take care of their own in
terests. Governor Baldwin had some
such notion in his head when he sue-
gcsted to the Connecticut legislature
that il has the power to confer the
right OF suffrage in municipal affairs
upon women who are assessed for
taxes upon their property. This rish,
viii be granted in time; it has already
gecn given to the women of Louisiana
a state that is almost as southern in
sentiment as Virginia"
And the Times Despatch concludes
its editorial thus: we regard the
statement Of Governor Baldwin as the
most significant thing that has been
said recently on the woman suffrage
question
1t would be amusing if Virginia
should extend this right to women OF
property before Connecticut does

THE TRADING STAMP WAR.

The war against trading stamps
seems to he q never ending strife, for
IL is on somewhere most of the time.
Now the retail merchants of Boston.
after six Years of quietness, have made
an organized strike against the use
OF the stamp in trade. The secretary
OF the Retail Merchants Protective
association of Greater Boston writes
the Boston Transcript:
About four hundred retail grocery
and provision stores in Greater Bos-
ton discontinued the giving of trading
stamps On January = Two hundred
Of these stores are in South Boston,
where the Retail Merchants Protec-
tive association originated. This is
the first active protest against the
trading stamp evil since 1904
The movement is of vital interest
to twenty thousand retailers in Bos-
ton. the great majority of whom re-
gard the trading stamp as a system of
extortion.
We have drafted bill which will
Norwich bulletin., 1911-01-11

go before the 1911 legislature and
which we hope will prove effective in
eliminating the use of trading stamps"
The Transcript sees no necessity
for legislation on the subject. 1t says
if it is not a good thing the retail
merchants ought to be able to bring
about the reform.

After an exceedingly prosperous sea-

Although the rooming accOmmoda-
tons were much larger than for the
preceding season, yet, for much of
the time, not only was every available
room occupied, but the management
was unable to find quarters, during
the height of the season, for many
applicants.

tanned at the club house several dis
tinguished visitors, among whom may
be mentioned Alexander Millar, sec
rotary of the Hartman lines; Judge
~ f. Evans, vice president of the
Frisco lines, and w. NJ. Evans Of st.

Mr. MilIar arrived on his private
car from California early last week,
and left Saturday night, returning
directly to his home in New York.
Mr.. Millar's visit to the valley was
purely for recreation. In spite of
his general familiarity with the coun-
try traversed by the Southern Pa
cific lines. he expressed great sur
prise at the beauty OF the valley, its
present high state of cultivation and
the amount of freight shipped both
in and out of Phoenix and surround
