Weather Bureaus Data Shows Low
Precipitation. High Tempera-
ture and Much Sunshine.

That the year 1914 so far has been
one of the driest on record locally
is shown in the statistics gotten out
by the weather bureau. Since Jan. 1
| there has been a deficiency in precipi-
/ tation OF FIVE and one-half inches. In
other words, the rainfall has been that
much less than the average since 1871.
when the Office was first established
here. Taking into consideration the
\ fact that the ground was unusually
dry at the beginning of the year 1t is
evident that this community is not in
shape TO withstand any protracted
drouth this summer.
Mays precipitation was far below

ARE YOU REALLY

a TALK ON THRIFT-A TIMELY
THOUGHT FOR INDEPENDENCE
DAY.

"The difference between the
woman with a bank account and
the woman without one Is the
difference between independence
and dependence, between happi-
ness and misery. If | could say
one word more earnest than any
other, it would be to make fe-
tish of Thrift. dorothy Dix.
In many cities the big department
stores on the last day of the month,

of the month after next"
At one time in his career the writer
belonged to the lowly ranks of the
book agents.
Preparatory to his work in that
pleas art capacity he sat at the feet OF
a past master in the art of reading
human nature. This preceptor laid
it down as a fundamental principle OF
salesmanship that it was much easier
to pay for things in the future than
now is the theory of the vampire-like
charge account"
II you always pay cash you can get
better bargains and you won't be so
sorely tempted to buy things you don't
really need but think you do because
it is so easy to get them without
taking any actual money out of your
purse at the time.
But the day of reckoning comes
around at last and the aggregate OF
the trifling amounts is sometimes ap
palling.

PAY WHAT THEY EARN

A rather curious report comes from
Washington concerning expected leg
islation on railway mail pay. IL mas
been urged by the railroads that they
we're being grossly underpaid for thls
service. For the purpose, presumably
of ascertaining the truth and OF cor
recting the schedule, If necessary, 10
conform to the facts, joint commit
tee or commission was appointed by
congress. It's chairman was former sen
ator Bourne, who was one oil inc
authorities on mail conditions, cham
pion of parcels post and radical III
politics, not likely to be under the
influence, psychologically or otherwise
of the railroads.
The commission worked for over
wear and early in June was urged by
Postmaster Burleson, 1t Is SAID, 10
make haste with bill. But when this
commissions bill was about to be in
troduced, 1t Is declared Chairman
Bourne was informed that Chairman
Moon of the house committee on post
office, who was not a member OF the
commission, would introduce bill OF
his own.
Thus the conclusions of the commit
tee seem to have been consigned To
the discard and a measure planned In
the postmaster generals department
substituted without any declared rea-
son.
The Moon measure is said to provide
for line rates a cent a mile less than
the commission had decided upon and
a reduction of % per cent on terminal
allowances. This would cut the amount
of compensation to the railroads it is
estimated, about $2,O00,O0O annually.
II Is charged also that the Moon
bill contains a provision which Is
likely to throw open the places of as
sistant postmaster to political appoint
ment and If this is the case, the pres
sure behind the bill will be power
full.
A committee on railway mail pay
from the railroads has begun to pro
test against this development in the
situation as not dsinterested, it should
be fully heard. 1t is very strange
that the findings of a reputable com
mission, made after months of study
| should be thrown out of the window
without warning and an executive de
partment heads conclusions adopted
Such a proceeding calls for eXplana
ton and if congress respects itself
an explanation will be insisted upon

STEADILY ENcRoAcHlNG

If the taking over of state functions
nv the national government Is permit
ted to continue at the present pace, the
time is not far distant when the demo
cratic party will be compelled to pro-
claim openly that 1t no longer gives
allegiance to the principles laid down
by Thomas Jefferson.
The ship of democracy Is drl1tlng
far from the doctrines of Jefferson. we
find the government, under the guid-
ing hand of democrats, encroachlng
steadily upon the rights of the states
Some members of Congress even de-
vote their time to the consideration
of such centralizing schemes as the
federal taxation of water powers, that
are clearly within the jurisdiction OF
the different states.
Some years ago Congress printed as
n public document what was famlllarly
known as Jefferson's Bible. 1t might
not be inappropriate for democratic
congress to order reprint as guide
to democratic principles and also TO
make 1t rule that every democrat
should study Jefferson's autobiography
I'm connection with legislation.
For instance, here is paragraph
from page 121 of Jelferson's autoDlo-
graphy where, in speaking of federal
judges, he said;
Eve have seen, too, that, contrary
TO all correct example, they are IN the
habit of going out of the question pe'
for them, to throw an achor ahead
and grapple further hold for future
advance of power. They are then III
fact. the corps of sappers and miners
steadily working to undermine the IN
dependent rights of the states, and &c
consolidate all power in the hands oI
that government in which they have ST
important a freehold estate. But it is
not by the consolidation or concentra
tlOn OF powers uuI ny ''''
ton, that good government is affect
ed. Were not this great country al
ready divided into states that division
must be made, that each might fol
itself do what concerns itself directly
and what it can so much better d'
than a distant authority"
Even more strikingly Jefferson said
Every state again is divided int
counties, each to take care of wha
lies within its local bounds; each coun
ty again into townships or wards, t
manage minute details; and ever
ward into farms to be governed eacI
by its individual proprietor. Were W
directed from Washington when t
SOW. and when to reap, we shoul
soon want for bread. 1t is by this pal
tition of cares, decending in gradatio
from general to particular, that tn
mass of human affairs may be bes
managed, for the good and prosperit
of ALL"
Does the democratic party of toda
still stand with Thomas Jefferson
