contributors to the working capital
of the country, because, either by the

the savings of the thrifty goes into

thus becoming great factor in COM

homes and cities.
So the man who saves and does not
hoard is a capitalist whether he real

bound to possess goodrsized bank
account.
Some persons think that big bank
accounts are made by lucky ventures
in finance perhaps q profitable
speculation, or buying into q sure
thing on the ground floor
The fact is, however. that too
many good-sized bank accounts have
been depleted in that way.
A good many persons build big
accounts by going into business for
which they have been trained. ana
for which they have sufficient capital,
with credit besides.
others make choice investments,
and then re-invest their interest earn

ments when they accumulate enough
money. :,
They generally begin In small

The election Campaign.

The November election campaign
is ready to start and within the next
ten days it will be under way. While
the European war will engage the
public mind greatly, the issues of the
campaign should not be overlooked

this country depend on the election
results.

What is the Useo

What rank and file of the Progress
siye party can be found in this state
should ponder over some questions
asked by the Weston Independent af-
ter 1t has pointed out the rapid
waning of the Progressive party and
the rapid recovery of the Republican
party. It wants to know what use
there is in attempting to keep up
turmoil against the Republican party.
The correct answer is that there is
no use. The Independent says:
There is another item of third
party decline in the returns from re-
cent primaries in Missouri. In 1917
Colonel Roosevelt received in that
state total vote OF, $4,000 In the
recent primaries there was total OF
6sB14. or about one for each twenty
one of two years ago. What is the
use of keeping up local turmoil
against a party which is recovering
as rapidly and as surely as Is. the
Republican party from its defeat OF
two years ago? Particularly in To-
cality where there is no ground for
charges of abuses, such as caused the
split at Chicago?
