He has been premier In several cabi
nets. minister OF the interior, Of for
eign affairs and OF finance in others.
In all OF these offices his work was OF
the highest order. When the ~upheavals
OF politics placed others In command
he withdrew calmly and cheerfully to
his seat In the chamber of deputies
and applied himself to the public wei
fare with good conscience and indus
try In the humber functions of those
offices. His record stands free from
the least sign OF resentment for any
of the turns Of politics. In which self
seems always to have been subordinat

There have been times in his career
when the presidency brushed across
his vision. The prospect of that eleya-
ton had little apparent effect on him
He continued to go quietly and stead
fly about his appointed duties. When
the prize slipped tc another he became
that others cheerful supporter, and
no breath of disloyalty or of envy
ever tainted him.
Had he been elected president the
first lady of the land would have been
an American, his wife. who was Miss
Minnie Burch. having come years ago
from Chicago. where her father was a
banker.
To Ribot France owes the Franco
Russian alliance, and he had much TO
do with efecting the entente with
England. His firmness and courtesy
were more powerful than any other
single influence In smoothing out many
of the animosities toward Germany
that fingered after the Franco-Prussian
war. Ii was In one of his terms as

A Social Center.

Miss Thompson principal of Warner school,,
has recently "extended a sweeping invitation to
the people of the community to make the school
building place for holding educational and So
cial gatherings"
This sweeping invitation warns our heart
for Miss Thompson. There is no reason under
heaven why school building should not be made
the Social Center for it's district serving as head
quarters for all manners of social activities
It belongs to all. Why should we not use
it?
Why not use it as place for social gather
ings, where we get acquainted with each 9TH
err?
When meet in lodge, it it with our fellow
members. When we meet in church, it is with
our fellow believers. When we meet in our po-
litical gatherings, it is fellow partsans If we
could meet in get-together "doings" in the school
house, it would be fellow men and women
If Miss Thompson make Warner School a
real Social Center which the people of her en-
virons can look upon community home, she
will place the city under obligations to her for
ever. It will help push a movement that will
thaw out the social stiffness and frgidty which
is about the only fault people can find with this
town.

Murder Is Murder.

The one relief from the horror felt in reading
the descriptions of the electrocution of the four
gunner charged with the murder of Herman
Rosenthal is the reflection that these men had
themselves wantonly caused suffering terrible.
They had taken human life, the one act on which
the state has a right to wreak it's supreme venge-
ance.
But isn't it just as bad to take human life by
means other than downright murder?
What about the thousands in this country
every year who are executed by tuberculosis
brought on through the bad conditions due to a
stingy, heartess landlord?
What about the deaths caused by the adulter-
alton of food and drugs?
What about the men who mangled to
death by machinery left uncovered through the
criminal negligence of the shop owners more
solcitious of dividends than of human safety?
What about the inexcusable criminal ignor-
ance of mothers which causes annually the
deaths of many helpless babes, as our own NOR
tally records will show?
What about the hundreds of children under
fourteen years of age who are destroyed every
year while working in factories over this coun-
! try?
Some day, when we become more consistent
we will begin to understand that murder i.
murder, whether it is done with gun OF
with unprotected mine shaft: that those who
take lives indirectly through the motives of self
interest are much the enemies of society al
those who shoot their fellows down in cold booc
through motives of revenge.

The Reserve Banks.

A goodly number of newspapers over the
country are pretty we'll 'het up Gas old
friend Josh Billings would say) over the fixing
of the boundaries for the federal reserve dis
trcts and the selection of the cities to be honor
ed by federal reserve banks. Each big city IN
the nation not selected had considered itself pre-
ordained to be the banking center of it's district
and has expressed through its news organs with
no uncertain voice it's contempt for the lack OF
good sense on the part of the federal reserve COM
missica in overlooking its own superlative ad-
vantages.
But in spite of this discomfort on the part
of the cities not chosen and the enormous self
conceft of those selected, plans for the complete
fufiIlnent of the banking scheme go mer-
rily on The commissioners knew in the begin
ming they could not please everybody so did the
best they could and let the heather rage
These contests for the honors of federal
reserve bank have accentuated the growing COM
petition among cities, fact to which these col
umns have often borne witness. A healthily
growing town that offers the most advantages
gets the largest number of plants. This
means competition among towns; and that means
that every city must hump itself.
So also, if our source of information can be
trusted, must the banks hump themselves.
Thus far only 70 out of total of 81 ,781 state
banks have joined the system. (Our readers
will recall that while national bank is compelled
to Join, state bank need not unless it chooses }
The national institutions have total capacity
of only nine billion dollars against the combin-
ed capitalization of fourteen billion in the con-
troll of the state banks. This indicates that if
competition is indeed the life of trade, those in
stitutions will be considerably enlivened in the
near future.
