A Swiss banker visiting in tht

A Swiss banker, visiting in this
country recently, said:
Il notice that it is the custom Of
the Americans for men to spend most
of their salaries. They do not ap-
pear to be much concerned about
the rainy" day. In Switzerland
and other countries of Europe the
people have developed the saving
habit.
There is so much money deposit
ed in the savings banks in our coun-
try that we have to go to foreign
countries to find investments for it.
In America the people seem to
believe in keeping plenty Of money
in circulation. In a general way this
policy is beneficial, but it shows A
lack of thrift in the individual.
There should be a happy medium
between the saving habit or tne
Europeans, and the spending habit
Of Americans. There is a halfway
ground in which the advantages OF
both methods may be realized
The American people owe a great
deal to the aliens, or those who
quite recently have become natural
lied, for lessons in thrift.
The average foreign Eorn citizen
and the average alien is not a spend
thrift. In a single year the foreign
born people of Massachusetts have
sent abroad, via one route, over 49,
100000. In addition these same for
eign-born people have saved, depos-
tied in banks or elsewhere at home
other millions, In this respect, the
old-time American can afford to take
off his hat to most of the foreign
born. who are among our most fru-
gal people.
II would be hard to say whicl
are most thrifty. French and ltal'
ians stand high in this matter. Thrift
is likewise characteristic Of the
Germans, the Scandinavians and thu
Scotch, and in countless instances
it has rewarded its possessors
thousand fold. These neople have
learned that the first essential Il
acquiring the art of making none
is to learn to save. Can not native
born Americans learn this lessor
from them?
In these days of electric motor
and gasoline engines we don't yer
often see a treadmill, but most per
sons know pretty well what it is
a moving inclined platform geare
up so that the weight of the horse
walking on it turns the machiner3
The point sBout it is that tn
horses never get anywhere, for a
their hard work.
: How many persons are occupie
r in just the same way! They wor
hard and they accomplish thing
r for somebody else, but they neve
get anywhere themselves.
That is exactly the position YOI
. are in if you are working for some
body else and do not regularly sav
, from your income to build up som
reserve capital to fall back upo
when your strength is no longe
equal to the treadmill of ceaseles
work.

BRYAN LOCATES
 BLAME FOR DELAY

It Is evident from the tone of the Republican press that an attack is to be made on the Democratic party for not having enacted legislation on all the subjects covered by the plat form. For fear that come Democrats may be misled by these attacks t IS worth while to point out the real req son for delay. The President mas been diligent in season and out or season: he has kept the members or congress together in continuous ses' sions ever since he entered upon the duties of the office. Surely no blame can be attached to him for he has kept the hopper full of remedial legis- lation. The fault has been with the millstones-the two houses of con gress-which must concur in legisla- ton. And the fault has not been with the house of representatives either because that body has promptly pass ed the measures recommended by the President: there has not been the 1 slightest dlscord between the Presi- dent and the house. Even where as in the case of the tolls bill, few Democrats opposed the measure ac- tion has been prompt.
 It is in the senate that the delay has occurred and here the fault does not rest upon the majority-it is to be found in the rule which permits un' limited debate. This rule may have been good enough in its time. when the senate was small and when the number Of measures demanding at- teption was few. But times. have changed. In the beginning there were thirteen States with twenty.six sen. ators: now there are forty-eight States with ninety.six senators. In the be- ginning congress had three millions of people to legisiate for; now there are ninety mlllions-thirty times as many as in 1776. There is no douht that the time is near at haBd when the senate rule will be changed so as to permit the majority to rule, and to rule within a reasonable time, but when the attempt is made to change the rule, there will be debate on the new rule and it will be conducted un- der the rule allowing unlimited de- bate. It has been impossible to take up the change in the rule without sus. pending, for an indefinite time, all hope of legislation.
 This rule is not a Democratic rule nor is it a Republican rule; 1t Is sim ply an ancient rule that has outHved it's usefulness. Upon it must rest the blame for the fact that congress will adjourn with some of the platform pledges yet to be carried out. This fact should be known and Democrats should be in position to answer the arguments which Republicans are making. The rule which now ob, structs legislation under q Democrat ic administration existed under Re. publican administration. but it worked no such hardship then as 1t does now because the Republican party was not urging remedial legislation. The rule allowing unifnited debate is harmless

TWO MORE ApMIRALs
 COMING TO COAST

The Admiral Line has received ad- vices from Washington, D. C., that it's fine steamers Admiral Schley and Admiral Dewey bought from the Amer ican Mail Line on the Atlantic coast and remodelled and equipped under the personal supervision of Manager c. w. Wiley, at an expense of several hundred thousand dollars, will soon pass through the Panal canal.
 The Admiral Schley and Admiral Dewey have been lying in New York harbor for several months awaiting an opportunity to pass through the Panama canal, which it has been ex- pected they would be allowed to do at almost any time and 1t is now with great satisfaction that the Admiral Cine officials receive this report from Washington.
 As soon as they arrive the company plans to take the Admiral Watson on the San Francisco run and remodel her to correspond with the Admiral Evans.

HIGH TARIFF LEAGUE
 IS IN BAD LIGHT

Whether it be called conspiracy or not, there has been q campaign oi defamation of the business conditions of the country, conducted solely in the defeating Democratic candidates for Congress and securing a Republican House this fall. It is a disreputable campaign, and dangerous one. Any merchants credit Is liable to be i'm paired by the circulation or rumors that he is embarrassed. The effort to convince the country that the state of business is very bad is directly cal. culated to make 1t bad, and that is its purpose. The Protectionist pro. paganda would be glad to see a panic. The last one we had was when they were in full possession of, the Govern ment, but their effrontery is equal to charging any dullness of business now on the Democratic Party, while deny. ing that they were responsible for the panic of 1907.
 The effort of men in Congress and of the distinctlvely Protectionist or. gans to collect and repeat and enlarge on every indication of dullness of trade, and to predict worse conditions in the near future, is a wicked and de- liberate effort to bring about bad state of business in the hope of mak. ing some political gain out of 1t. The banker in Fort Wayne who refused to answer the inquiries of the Pro. tective Tariff League and told the league what he thought of its efforts was a patriotic man who was trying to make business better, while chang ing some votes in November. It might as well save its efforts. A Republican House could not change the tariff.- Philadelphia Record.
The Alaska daily empire., 1914-07-31

when there are no reform bills pend ing. but such a rule is a real injury 10 the country when the people have voted for reforms and when the par ty i'm power is honestly attempting as 1t now is. to redeem the pledges made. At this time the rule giving unlimited debate operates in the in' terest of the minority because oy means of the rule the minority can slow down the processes of reform and decrease the number of remedial measures which it is possible to pass It might be well for the voters to let their senators know what they think of a rule that obstructs the carrying out of the will of the people deliberate ly expressed at the polls. - Bryan's Commoner
