at SAVINGS Bank.
The services OF fifteen tellers were re-
quired at the Merchants and Mechanics

ZOO scent account envelopes. After

were given a receipt for their money and
informed that as soon as additional en-
velopes could be arranged for they would
be forwarded TO them.
The Christmas Savings Club Is the
first OF its kind ever started IN Wash

cent, cents. or cents. The second
week the depositors double the amount

deposit three times as much, and so on

Speaking OF the Christmas Savings
Club. William c. Worthington, cashier.
last night said:
'T believe that We have struck upon
the best savings plan ever Instituted by
any local bank. That It meets with the
approval OF the people Of the city is
shown by the number OF accounts that
were started within a few hours after
the opening OF the club. The results so
far have greatly exceeded our expecta-
tons"

FREE SUGAR, THEN FREE-TRADI
First Positive A4lyance 1Ncw.sxi m
uosnplets Removal Of PrOtac-
!. tive Tariff Duties

Under the lash the Democratic
house has adopted the free sugar
bill. Certain Democratic represent
tatives from the south and west
have opposed it bitterly, because,
as they commended, it would de-
stroy the cane sugar industry in
Louisiana and the beet sugar indus
try of COLORADO and some other
westeran states. But it is the opin-
ion of Chairman Underwood of the
Democratic ways and means commit
tee, of Mr.. Bryan and other leaders
and manipulators of Democratic pol
icies, that free sugar will furnish
an opportunity for demagogic APP
peal to the masses. So the game has
been played.
With this sugar bill is to go to
another-the creation of an income
tax pure and simple. Sugar put on
the free list would take about So,
100000 out of the annual receipts
of the treasury. That gap would hay
to be filled, so we have the PROPOSE
ton of the income tax And this
projected tax is also supposed to ap
peal to the masses.
AS a matter of fact, free sugar
would not necessarily lower the
! cost of sugar to the consumer. 1t
! is not the duty that fixes a price.
1t is the hard and fast agreement
of a trust. Paper has not been re-
duoed in price because it can be
brought in free from Canada. Shoes
have actually been advanced in
price since hides were placed on the
| free list. Sugar is in the hands of
a great combination. Put it on the
free list, and it would not make
much, if any difference to the pur-
chaser. 1t would add to the COM
bination's profits.
The Democratic manipulators at
Washington understand this well
enough, but they are playing poll
tics. And it is a great game that
they are playing, too, for free
sugar is the intended first step to
about everything else free. Their
contemplated income tax reveals
the scheme plainly enough. For the
moment they would be content with
tax on incomes above $4,000.
But when, in their bitterness
against the policy of Protection,
J they might be able to build up this

Everything Gone Wrong

What tough crowd we are.
Twelve years ago we did not spell
right and no one had babies
enough. Then everybody but one
lied most of the time. and he lied
all the time. And so like Luci-
fer We fell and fell. and then we
fell some more, and first we knew
we were worse and worse. until
we are now doing nothing but run
ming overtime crime factories.
A foul crime was committed in
Indiana.
The very next day New York
state was stepped in "cr'minal
fraud.
There is no knowing what state
will next disappOint us and DEM
onstrate that it is some in getting
up new sins. We are, indeed. an
enterprising lot, and we can make
the old devil hump some when we
start out to make a home run in
the scrime" game.
You didn't vote to tender it
to me, you liar, you cheating Grim
inal, and now I'm going to break
the habit of my long and useful life
and make a speech"
And SO the teeth are again to
grind and rattle like wood
chuck's. and the beautiful face
is again to become wrinkled like
the face of rat.

this wicked land needed, after all.
Anyhow, every other kind of sui
eide is being played to the limit

,The Roosevelt cohorts are hard
losers. Even the colonel is not

observation goes. where the Roose-
welt people have been whipped,
whether in state or district con-
ventions, or in direct primaries.
they have set up the cry of fraud
and robbery. The iteration is get
ting rather wearisome.
Is it true that the Taft men have
robbed the Roosevelt voters in
every contest they have won? Have
they stifled the ''voice of the peo-
pie" SO completely? If so, we
are a weak people with a feeble
voice.-From the Hartford Post.

GOOD ROADS DAY
Commissioners Ask Citizens 10
Generally Observe May Teiiu

The board of county commission
ers has given formal approval to
the plan for general GOOD
Roads day" in Prowers county, and
urges the people to make the move
ment success by general partici-
patton. At the last meeting oil
the board the following proclama-
ton was passed:
Whereas, Good roads are one
of the best assets of country
and every citizen is interested in
the improvement of the roads in
his county In general and in his
immediate neighbOrhood in par
ticular, and
Whereas, The Prowers County
Good RAIDS association has designat-
ed May 10, 1912, as Good Roads
Day in Prowers county.
Therefore, Be 1t known that we
heartily endorse this movement and
recommend that on May 10, 1912.
which day shall be known as Good
Roads Day" all business be sus-
pended in Prowers county and
every citizen in the county lend
his support and assistance by ac-
tually working on the roads on

gaining strength all over the ooun-
try and Is fast becoming the big
issue before the people. A special
good roads day was. of Prowers
county origin and will soon be
madonna, event each year THAT
too,k such Immediate and firm hold
of the attention of the public was
due to the great importance of the
movement in all sections Of our
state and nation.
The work for this county will
be handled in divisions as it was
last year and there will be considers
able rivalry as to which division
can make the best showing as to
the number of people turning out
and the amount of work done. l..
NJ. Markham has been appointed to
take charge of the work in the
Lamar division and will as soon as
possible get the work assigned to
the different roads and managers
appointed for work in each di-
vision.
The Importance of the road south
of Lamar Is a matter of especial
interest here and a good part of
the attention of our citizens will
be placed in that direction. A turn
out of men and teams such as
ought to be had here could do an
Immense amount of good to that
road even in one day. There are
immense beds of fine shale right
along the line of that road handy
to the section of the road that
needs the most attention and a
splendid work can be done in this
line If the people show the proper
interest and support to the move
ment.
The commissioners and the Prov
ers County Good Roads Association
are working in hearty accord on
this line and will lend every pos
sible energy towards making May
Tenth a day long to be remember
ed for the good of the county. 1t
will depend largely though on the
support and assistance of the peo-
pie generally as to whether or not
the day is to be the success we
all hope it will be. Everyone should
get interest in the movement and
push IL along.
