PersO nal Qualities.

An esteemed correspondent
questions the validity of Presi-
dent Wilson'S claims to so much
public confidence, and then cites
several small affairs that throw
a doubt upon the Presidents re-
puted wisdom. 1t is possible. in
the tide of circumstance, that
the President may have been
pushed to what he had to do and
not what he wanted to do. Such
situations often come into every
mans life; but the little things
should not condemn a man You
must take the "eXitus," as Wash
ington's motto puts it, to judge
a man. What is the effect of his
life on the world? What is his
personality? And judged by these
tests, the Presidents fame is
secure.
1t is the personality that is to
be admired; the influence of the
spirit in his life; the sovereignty
of the individual faith. These
qualities put him above delega-
tions of politicians and people of
influence that rush to him with
clamorous appeals to think as
they did. He did not bow to ev-
cry little blast of personal or DO
litical influence that swept over
him. He was kindly disposed
but firm. He was self-contained

MCAdOo and the Banks.

Secretary of the Treasury Nc
Adoo recently made public list
of 247 banks that had increased
their reserves above the legal re-
quirement Of Is per cent. On
this list there were banks whose
reserves ran as high as Is per
cent, plainly indicating inten-
ton to hoard money for the pur-
pose of demanding higher inter-
est rates. Some of these banks
had already demanded z to per

clined loans altogether. Tie
secretary advised those banks on
this list that were government

ued TO exceed legal reserve re-
quirements the COVER n t

Those Peace Treaties.

Secretary Bryan has good
record to, send down into history,
and especially that part relating
to the peace treaties. He has
negotiated ~ of them and is
about to add four more, that four
being England, France, Spain
and China. So we will have rs
peace treaties that will stand as
a bulwark against war. These
treaties propose, when diploma
cy fails to settle any question be-
tween this and the other coun-
tries, there shall be an investiga-
ton by accredited agents on both
sides of the controversy, to see
if the dispute can not be peace
fully settled, and in the mean
time the two nations shall re-
frain from all warlike move
ments. The idea is to investi-
gate and during the time neces-
sary to confer, the war fever
will let up. 1t will every time.
Give the passions time to cool
and they will cool. All the ma
tons, including those now at
war in Europe. except Austria
Hungary, have signified their
consent to enter into this ar
rangement. On the basis of
these treaties, the United States

Primaries a Failure.

There was recently a primary
election in New York state. The
final returns showed that little
more than so per cent. of the
voters as a whole participated.
They also showed that a major
ity of neither party engaged in
this election. These disclosures
have led several New York pa
pers to declare primaries fail
ure.
Perhaps primaries as at pres
ent constituted are a failuse.
The original idea and purpose of
primaries was to give the voters
freedom of choice. Primary laws
generally, by provisions insert
ed by the politicians, prevent
freedom of choice in fact. This
is true of the New York state
law as we'll as of the Pennsyl-
vania law. In the Keystone state
the primary law is regarded by
the average voter as gold brick,
and thousands of them do not
even take the trouble to register.
Registration in Pennsylvania,
just completed for the fall elect
ion, plainly indicates a falling off
of at least 200, 900 votes as CON-
pared to registration for the last
presidential election.
If primaries are a failure they
are so because they are not pri.
maries according to the Original
idea and purpose. They will on.
ly give freedom of choice wher
the people, by overcoming the
politicians, create legislatures
that will so amend the law as tt
remove limitations and restrict
ions placed therein purposely tt
prevent popular choice. Some
day the people will do this. Alb

There's a Reason.

How many merchants who see
their business gradually slipping
away from them realize the I'M
DERIVING cause of this condition
of affairs, asks an exchange.
Of course there may be a num-
Der of reasons, but generally the
principal one is that the people
are losing interest because they
never see the merchants adver-
tisement in print.
The business man who never
advertises can hardly expect to
successfully compete with the
one that makes advertising an
important feature of his bust
ness. Advertising of the right
kind will always bring results,
and the buying public reads the
advertisements of a live paper
as religiously as it does the news
columns.
The readers of this paper want
to know something of the wares
the merchants of this town have
for sale. If your ad is missing
they will probably turn to the
other fellow-the man who goes
after business and gets it.
