A pledge is psychologically sound. 1t
commits the signer to the position to
which his aroused sentiments have led
him. The act of signing fixes his reso-
luton. He has taken sides. Thus is
avoided the peril of emotion without
corresponding action.

THE DRIFT TOWARDS
THRIFT.

Americans are accused Of be
ing the unthriftlcst people IN the
world. Europeans say we are
not only extravgant in our self
indulgence. but wasteful in ev-
cry way. We are not only high
,ivcrs but wastcful livers. Among
us persons Of moderate or
cramped means try to hold pace
with the wealthy. We ride III
automobiles when we cannot at
ford street ear fare; our meat
and grocery bills are too high;
we pay too much for rent; we
keep too many servants; we dress
more extensively than we should :;
we waste what would make n
good living for Europeans, so
they say. Therefore it is en-
couraging to learn that we are
laying by little. even if we are
going so fast.
During the last fiscal year the
savings deposits in all the banks
Of the United States increased
from about six aud one-half bill
lion dollars to nearly seven bill
lion dollars. an increase in one
year Of half n billion in year.
Five hundred million dollars is
not much money for a hundred
million people to save. but it is
an increase Of Z per cent in say
ings. The increase in the savings
habit is what counts. This in
crease in savings took place dur
in. a period when the cost Of liv-
ing was extraordinarily high and
on the increase. The savings
were made mainly by wage earn
ers and people Of moderate means.
who are the principal patrons Of
savings banks. These people
doubtless increased their savings
in other ways. as in insurance. IN
homes and real estate. The bank
accounts show only part of the
increased thrift.
The pendulum is swinging
back. We are going more slow

in national affairs but in private
life.-Beaumont Enterprise.

had an extensive survey OF the
grounds made with the same end
in view. At that time. however,
the route through Bayou Chou
pique was intended as short
cut for boats plying between
New Orleans and the Atchafalaya
river before the Plaquemlne
locks were built. The war IS
said to have interrupted the
plan. and further appropriations
from Congress to carry the pro-
ject through never were obtained.
The Teche and Grand Lake are
only mile apart at Clarendon.
Residents Of this section clam
the tide in the lake is two feet
higher than that in the river. and
the natural tendency of the wa
ter course would be straight
shoot to the Gulf of Mexico it
Grand Lake. the Teche and Ba-
you Choupique were connected.
Promoters of the scheme claim
it would only require the digging
of a canal three miles long to
Join the Teche and the bayou.
The cost is estimated at $1oo,ooo.
In addition to relieving the sit
uation along the entire Atchafa-
lava system in times Of flood by
providing a ready outlet for the
volume of extra water pouring
down the basin, the promoters
claim the new water course would
drain thousands Of acres Of land
near the Gulf Of Mexico. which
could be converted into the finest
cattle and farming country IN
the world.
Another trip is to be conduct
ed by DR.. Pierce to enable Major
Kerr. Victor Lefebvre, president
Of the Atchafalaya Basin Levee
Board; G. H. Chamberlin, chief
engineer of the Texas and Pa
cifc, to look over the situation as
soon as it will be convenient for

Will Keep Faith

to enact a law TO prohibit the
use Of liquor in the home or to
put unreasonable obstacles in
the way of obtaining il. He
said he would do this in order TO
keep faith with the people. "
II is known that members Of

ground that they were intended
to interfere with persons obtain
ing liquor for use in their
homes, while the campaign for

was not intended TO interfere
with a person having liquor for
his own use in his own home.

that we must keep faith with

"The proposed law will be

do not intend 10 tolerate saloons,

"The amendment prohibits
the sale of liquor in Oregon.
Citizens who desire TO obtain
liquor for their own personal use
at their homes will be able to
do so by purchasing il outside of

be right, but IL was the pledge
we made, and the pledge we
shall keep.
