Conservatism

We hear the word used g
whole lot regarding banks anc
their management. 1t is a good
thing. and properly applied is
of very great advantage but ir
many cases the word does not
bear out it's definition, or rather
it's application does not.
Fossilism, dry rot, coldness
these are not conservatism
How often some fellow, a great
stickler for what he called con
servatlsm, but who was simply
petrifying, has been succeeded
IN the managemet of a bank by
a man of ideas and good sound
sense, with the result that de.
posits have doubled in a year
and the business of the bank
goes forward by leaps and
bounds. This bank is cOnserva
tive enough all right but it does
not use the iceberg variety, as
that brand ever has been, and
always will be, a derriment
to any bank, We can handle
some more business and we
ought to have yours. If you feel
as we do about this, come II
and let us talk it over.

Every child has a right to
childhood. The recollection of a
sunny childhood is an auspicious
inheritance and splendid pre-
paration for the strain and bur-

four Or five years OF girls lite

children in India are born old.
Go among the submerged masses
in any OF our great cities and
you will find childhood barren
and desolate beyond description.
To have this Joy crushed out of
little life is a sorro wful tragdy
that will shadow all it's future.

The West Hammond Horror.

Chicago furnishes a melancholy distrac-
tion from the police graft atrocity in New
York in the form of a hideous tale of
vice and crime told by a young woman
accused OF connection with the murder of
a man In a villainous dive at West Ham,
mod, Ind. suburb Of the city If
half she tells is true the conditions in
this place are unspeakable and call
for re1Nrm that will sweep through
the undeA& orld OF Chicago and Its ad-
Jacent regions. Little surprise Is ever
expressed when tales Of this sort are
related. for IT is unfortunately the ex-
pectation Of great number Of people
that moral denominations should exist
in and around large cities. The con-
ditions at West Hammond, however,
surpass any that have hitherto been
caused by even the vilest conditions in
other cities. The suggestion is Of a
veritable scheme Of murder and rob-
berry in connection with tho workings

A Mcnamara Pardon Petition.

4 story from Los Angeles recites that
petition has been presented to Gov.
Johnson of California, signed by many
thousands of labor unionists and busi-
ness men and social reformers asking
for the pardon of the McNamara brothers,
who some months ago confessed to COM
plicity in the dynamite outrages cul-
minating in the destruction Of the Los
Angeles Times building. which caused the
death of twenty-one men. It is stated
that when the McNamaras entered their
plea of guilty and ended a trial which
promised to last for many weeks the
business men of Los Angeles agreed to
give union labor a fair chance in that
city. which had long previously been a
field of contention between employers
and organized labor. This. 1t is now as
serted, has not been done and the petit
ton to Gov. Johnson is the result. 1t is
impossible not to detect political influ-
ences In this move to secure the release
of two men who stand convicted by their
own words of a shocking crime, but who
are held nevertheless by certain labor
unionists in some esteem as guilty only
Of excessive zeal and at the last stage
of the case of quitting" That the re-
lease of the McNamaras from prison
would be popular with trade unionists in
California is not TO be doubted. and 1t is
possible that Gov. johnson. candidate for
Vice President on the "bull moose ticket,
will see in the opportunity to pardon the
two men chance to win the support Of q
large number OF voters. OF course. no
suggestion occurs in the discussions Of the

1t. is no idle jest Of the cartooner and
iokesmith that at this season OF the year
the Homecoming vacationists find their
porches Uttered with circulars. dodgers

the sober truth to say that this litter is
literally just SO much waste paper. either
swept out to clutter the streets or saved
only to light the fires. The chief asset
of the ragpicker and street cleaner is the
casual circular. 1t Is a prohibited nui-
sance, too. 1t Is also a poor business
proposition. just because ;. it is casual.
There is no follow up to It, no continuity
in it's message. IT cannot compete with
the daily newspaper as an advertising
medium Today's news may be stale to-
morrow. but a daily newspaper IL never

accusation Of others, that the West

of a chain OF the lowest and most cor

lethal annex, so to- speak. where the
miserable creatures exploited In this

ii Is not OF the most vital Importance
that the crimes that have been COM
mitted already should be punished. or

vent the maintenance OF such dives IN

The New York Progressives.

Although made under amusing and
amazing circumstances. the nominal tion
of Oscar s. Straus for governor was the
best the progressives of New York could
have made. 'Suspender Jack MCGEE
may be a e-gallus'' statesman but he
saw clearly on this occasion, and the
convention made no mistake in following
him.
The contest for the nomination was
between William A. Prendergast and
William H Hotchkiss, both worshipers
of Mr.. Roosevelt Objection was made
to Mr.. Prendergast on religious lines.
Although himself a Roman Catholic, he
had as controller been in controversy
with the leaders of that communion in
New York about a question of public
charities. This. il was charged, would
cost him many votes as the progressive
leader
Objection was made to Mr. Hotchkiss
on the score that he had magnified the
objection TO Mr. Prendergast and thereby
deeply offended the Prendergast follow
him in the campaign.
a dark horse was the proper solution
OF the difficulty. and Mr.. Straus proved
~ bc tHc SdDiS equine ne SIOuIQ Doll
the full progressive strength in the state.
The old test was. rs he honest; is he
competent; is he faithful to the Consti-
tution?" Among the progressives Theo-
dore Roosevelt has been substituted for
the Constitution, and Mr. Straus meets
the new test He is honest: he is COM
petent: he is faithful to Theodore Roose-
Welt. He follows wherever Mr. Roosevelt
leads
Did Mr.. MCGEE receive 'hunch" from
Mr. Roosevelt by mail or otherwise? Was
he chosen to speak the fateful word at
the PSYCHOLOGICAL moment? The pro-
gressives are strong on psychology and
psychological Effects and strange
agents and means are sometimes selected
to produce them.
But. whatever may he the story, the
nomination was clever inspiration, and
serves a notice on both of the old parties.
Both republicans and democrats must
now do their best. Not that Mr. Straus
has chance of election, but his candi-
dacy will afford a refuge for independent
voters i'm case of disgust. IL either of
the old parties makes an unfit nomina-
tion and thereby chillS its independent
supporters. those supporters will have a
place elsewhere to lay their heads. and
the party so offending will pay for its
blunder.
The progressive platform shows how
far Mr.. Roosevelt and his friends have
departed from the old faith. Such a de-
liverance IL addressed a few years ago
to the voters of an old and great state
would have excited a sort of wonder.
Today everything goes" and no sort of
bid for votes is considered too wild for
attention and discussion.

Wilson and Smith.

If it is true that Woodrow wilson Is
anti-Smith in the New Jersey senatorial
contest. James Smith, jr., has just
grievance. This time Mr.. Wilson should
be a Smith man.
Mr. Wilson's opposition to Mr.. Smith
when Mr. MARITIME was chosen senator
rested on two things: O Mr.. MARITIME
had submitted his claims to the demo-
Gratis of the state at primary, and had
received a large vote: and (2) Mr.. Smith
was under condemnation for having vot-
ed on protection lines when in the Senate
at the time of the revision Of the Nc
kinley tariff law.
Now there is different situation. Mr..
Smith is submitting his claims as sena-
torial aspirant to the people, and Mr..
Wilson as his party's candidate for
President has come around to Mr.
Smiths position on the tariff question.
In helping Mr.. German recast the Will
son tariff bill in 1894. Mr.. Smith sought
to prevent injury to American industries.
Both he and Mr.. German were entirely
frank in explaining their votes. The
democratic platform had pledged tariff
for revenue only. but they would not
put a free trade construction on the de-
liverance.
Today Mr.. Wilson refuses to put a free
trade construction on the Baltimore plat
form. As Mr.. Smith as senator had
eighteen years ago, Mr.. Wilson as presi-
Dental candidate now has warm solici-
tude for American industries. He would
not injure single one of them in any
revision of the tariff planned under his
direction.
So that Mr.. Wilson in the White House
and Mr.. Smith in the Senate could work
together on the tariff question very well.
They are in accord. and Mr.. Smith. with
larger practical knowledge both Of the
tariff and of legislative procedure, could
greatly assist Mr.. Wilson.
1t is stated that Mr.. Wilson leans to a
man who was Of service to him at Bal
timore. But even on that score Mr..
Smith would appear to have the call on
Mr. Wilson's support. But for him Mr..
Wilson would not have been a factor in
the. democratic national convention. If
Mr.. Smith had not managed and largely
financed Mr.. Wilson's campaign for the
governorship of New Jersey, Mr.. Wilson s
name would not have been mentioned at
Baltimore. That is to say. Mr.. Smith
piloted Mr.. Wilson to the victory which
made him a presidential quantity No
Smith, no Wilson.
The tariff is an important issue in New
Jersey. and as both Mr.. Wilson and Mr.
Smith are. in effect. protectionists. why
should they not cuddle up in this cam
paign? Let the dead past bury Its dead.

Where the Suffragists Blundered.

FROM the New York World.
OF the forty-two amendments to the
state constitution the Ohio voters singled
out the woman suffrage amendment fol

while the initiative and referendum. liquor

The benefits to be derived from Mr.
Roosevelt's belated championship of votes
for women proved wholly imaginary. II

in Ohio they will realize the unwisdom OF
identifying their cause with the persona
ambitions of the third-term candidate. He
has made a politicians bid for the sup
port of the woman voters of the six suf'
frage states in the west. to none of whom
he lent a word of encouragement wher
they most needed help. They won the
fight by themselves by concentrating al
their efforts on the one issue of equa
