AIDING THE CROP MOVEMENT.

Secretary MeAdoos' offer to help
the banks OF the agricultural regions
is noval only in the offer to accept
commercial paper as security for pub
lie. deposit. says the Philadelphia
Record. The banks of the south and
west have always had the same OPP
%portunity that the banks of the
northeast had to secure public de
posits. So lar as it seems advan-
tageous to them TO do SO they have
solicited these deposits. Until about
Il dozen years ago the only security
accepted was government bonds.
Secretary Shaw offered to accept GER
tain other securities of an irreproach-
able character. Secretary McAdoo
now enlarges the offer to include
commercial paper.
Financial authorities %recongnize
good commercial papers as the best
asset a bank can hold. The seeere-
tary' proposition is. practically,
to redlseount the papers taken by
banks. As the banks become respon-
sibie to the government for the de
posts they receive. and the advances
will only be IS per cent. OF the face
OF the paper. the security of the gov
erment is ample. Whether or not
the agricultural regions are justified
in their feeling that the financial
centres have received undue favor
from the treasury. the fact must be
recognized. and it is a judicious as

Sec. Daniels S Hobby.

If Secretary D niels had his
way every citizen would be compelled
to vote when election day cane
around. Just how that policy of
compulsion would be established and
enforced the HonorbIe Secretary of
the Navy does not make clear, nor
does any effective method ap cal to
the average man who gives the sub
ject consideration.
None can dispute that the function
of the citizen at the polls is one Of
the highest Importance, but the vote
that is not based upon interest and
voluntary Judgment would be hardly
worth the casting. The fact of more
universal voting must rest upon edu-
cation rather than force, even if force
were applicable and practical. 1t is
the untrammelled will of the citizen
that counts for the best results in
popular government. The equation
of personal interest is the thing to be
developed, and scarcely can the pro-
cess be FASTENED bv statute. -Telegam.

SLIPPED PAST DEATH.
Curious Gases of People Who Missed
II by a Hairs Breadth.

At Geneva recently professional
acrobat who performs on a trapeze
attached to balloon fell into the
lake of Zurich, distance Of 1900
feet. He swan unhurt to the
shore, just missing death by few
Yards, for had he not sprung from
his seat when within fifty feet of
the lake he would have been dash
ed to pieces on the rocks.
Several instances of people fall
ing from great heights and surviv-
ing to tell the tale can be quoted.
At Brighton an actor known as
Lieutenant Daring, who was play
ing the part of a naval officer who
is attacked by brigands in a cine
matograph play and who was sup
posed to slip over the cliff-in re-
atty, however, to stand on a plank
which had been placed below the
edge to make the illusion complete
missed his footing and fell ninety
feet below into the sea, escaping
with a sprained wrist.
An even more miraculous escape
after a fall over a cliff was that of
seven-year-old child who had been
gathering flowers on Culver cliff,
near Sandown, Isle of Wight, who
slipped and fell 200 feet. She was
only slightly injured, bottle which
she carried being unbroken.
Often the merest accident pre-
vents death. A Cardiff laborer some
time ago fell from a scaffolding
about fifty feet high, but as he fell
his foot caught in the scaffolding,
and he hung head downward until
rescued. Similarly a woman who
fell out of a window backward at
Holborn lately was saved from in
stant death by her clothing having
caught in the window catch.

John Hazleton of st. Neot's, Hun

distance before being gently de-
posted on the road as the car pull

Economy of Roads.

During the last ten years, Multi
uomah county has spent on roads 81,
944 900.
Within the county boundaries there
are 145 miles of macadsm and ITO
miles of gravel roads. The estimated
cost of the macadam is $4,000 and of
the gravel roads $4,000 per mile. The
actual construction cost, by these
estimates is only about 81 1000, 900,
which means that the up-keep of the
roads totals figure not far below 81,
900 900.
The figures are significant. They
are more-they are impressive.
They must prove beyond question
that. in the long run, the best built
road is the most economical road.
The deduction is harmonious with
the experience of history Excava-
tions under the city of London few
years ago unearthed a road built CEN
turies ago and still in fine state Of
preservation, but buried fathoms deep
by the soil deposits of the ages.
South American travellers relate that
many af the highways built by the
lucas prior to the sixteenth century
are still intact. The age-old life of
the military roads of Rene are still
one of the marvels of the world.

policy of first class road construction.

In the year 1890 occurred the
first duel known to have taken place
on American soil. The principals,
Edward Doty and Edward Lester,
were servants of a Mr.. Hopkins,
one of the New England colonists.
The men had quarreled over some
trihing matter and resorted to the
field for its settlement. The affair
was stopped by the authorities, but
not before one had been wounded
in the thigh and the other in the
hand. There was no law covering
such matters, but the governor Of
the province decided that the men
should be punished nevertheless.
At his orders they were sent to
have their heads and feet tied to-
gether and lie in that condition
twenty-four hours without food or
drink. They suffered so much,
however, that they were released
at the end of an hour.

international fame as a militant
Suffragette, it seems is having some
difficulty in making landing in the

Just why Emmaline desires to in

lurid fragrance upon the good natured

minions, is matter not altogether
clear to me. If she comes thinking

of arson and militancy her mission
will prove abortive. The American

pugnscious, little old dame as an

Hope she will be retained there

mind and my conscience put to rest
