INVESTMENT PAYING MANIFOLD.

If by spending 60 cents a day for 10
days you could save SO a day for
years, you'd consider it good business,
wouldn't you?
Well, the United States has just such
n chance. on larger scale. BY spend

can. the experts tell us. save probably
$1,000. 900, 900 a year in flood damages
to property, TO say nothing of saving
annually many human lives. Save it
every year throughout all future time.
The floods which every spring and
sometimes in the fall sweep down our
river valleys with resistless force can
be curbed. 1t isn't necessary to go in

ton of households and communities
and to see great masses of the fruits
Of human toll swept away by angry
waters.

ment were to put to work digging

and reforesting the barred hilltops, the

ployment while business is getting
Strengthened around. the toll from
floods next spring could be very much
lessened, though. of course. il would
take a longer campaign to wipe it out.
1t would, however, be more than a
Iife-saver from floods. Think how
many families it would save from
hunger and cold and dire privation
during the winter!
We have all got to chip in to take
care of this labor slack somehow.
Why not invest it in national flood
insurance?

KILLING THE LIVE STOCK.

RoCKEFELLER At THE BAR.

Time and again we have been told
that public opinion, reflected through
juries. is to blame for the failure TO
get verdicts of guilty in criminal pros
ecutions under the sherman law.
Are the eminent and highly-courted
and flattered gentlemen who make
away with other peoples savings by
millions. in cool contempt of law and
morals as guilty as are the poor who.
in desperation, steal food or clothing?
The things that VIM. Rockefeller
and his associates on the New Haven
railroad board did during the Morgan
Mellen regime of waste, loot and con-
quest unquestionably were of in
finitely greater public harm than were
in the penitentiary.
\ century OF petty porch climb
ing or purse snatching wouldn't equal
in total spoils the sum of their ex-
travagances. The wrecks resulting
from their mismanagement killed as
many victims as jsilful of single
murderers under sentence to the cleo
trio chair
The suffering brought on widows
ana orphans bulk larger than that
caused by thousands OF ordinary
crimes for which the guilty are doing
time.
If justice is not respecter OF per-
sons: if our laws are for poor and rich
alike, then the place for these big
criminals is also behind the bars. on
equal footing with the little criminals.
Now that they have at last been in
dicted. il will be interesting TO see if
the judges will let their case get 10 a
jury. We think this is perhaps. even
more uncertain than what a jury
would do.

NEITHER our neutrality nor our
peaceful propensity can quite subdue
the martial spirit inherent in the av-
erage American. Having peace at
home, and loving il. even exulting in
it, he--or she. for that matter-cannot
disguise his interest in the sanguinary
events abroad, but is quite content to
view them on the screen at the
movies.
ALL the sensations of war are en-
joyed, without the immediate conse-
quences.
IN making provisions for the obvi-
ously poor the near poor should not
be overlooked. We violate one of our
fixed rules by predicting that more of
the latter than of the former will be
found.
IT may be a confession of a weak
ness, but we have never had much
patience with the party who never has
time to take healthful recreation.
Business is business, just as you have
so frequently heard, but it should not
be made a sordid occupation nor over
tax the capital invested in the brains
and vitality.

A Tragedy of the Road.
(COr. Bnurr Oak Acorn.)
His machine was all trimmed in brass
And it made quite a lovely show,
And he turned on lots OF gas
Just to see the Tin box" go.
He held the stear wheel in his hand
And still turned on more Juice,
And plowed right up thru the sand
To beat the very duce.
He climbed right up the steepest hill
And then turned thru the hollow,
He had it all at his free VIII
When thru mud-holes he did wallow.
He kept right on a going
The car along sure Speeded-
But she" kept on a-thrOwing
Sand against the windshield.
There was a man right on ahead q.
Suspecting nothing wrong,
But soon that man was very dead
And the machine went right along.
He struck him with the bumper
OF the car that's made of tin"
And when they got his Number
They run the fellow in.
He called for some protection
And said this car is minei"
But he must go to house of correction
or pay a heavy fine.
So he pulled out his wallet
And handed over the chink,
For the cop had got him solid
Before he could ever think.
WHEN we read the caption "Drys
Win in Washington" our first thought
was that it meant the national capital,
and we reflected that there was moth
ing new in that. The drys always win
in Washington, d. c. There is moth
ing to prevent them. We suppose
there are more dry people in Wash
ington than in any other city in the
world.
1t is I'm the mild November.
And each separate glowing ember,
Hanging by it's slender stem
Gives us comfort for December,
And has caused us to remember
That none other ends in ember, .
So we have no use for them.

ONE MORE BACKWARD GLANCE.

Now that the elections all over
and the country is once more safely
saved, perhaps just one more back
ward glance Will be permissible.
IL was a campaign with very little
heat. very little passion, and it left
few bruised toes. One man dominated
it; and he, not because he was a par
tisan, but because, in a great office, at
a trying time. he put his ideals high.
attended calmly to duty and refused
TO swashbuckle
You may say this was exceptional;
that the nation was war-sobered; that
otherwise there would have been
regular ld-fashiOned monkey-and-
parrot kind of time. with partisans
yelling each other black in the face.
Perhaps. Even probably-for, be-
meath the veneer, there's a lot of the
tartar in most of us.
After all. parties are means to ends;
honesty. fidelity. efficiency in office
are more important to the average
citizen than party labels; and we're
mighty lucky TO have the Wilson kind
OF government, whether we voted his
ticket or not.
Now TO business; and may she hum!
