that the Junior Association has had

Mr. House while on a business trip in
New Mexico about year ago. and aft

he had been holding meetings for and
talking with him, was very much in

he was going to permanently locate
offices for the carrying on of his work
on a larger scope. 1 suggested to him
that we had a city of schools and
churches of the highest order. and 1
felt sure that he would have a most

who for years has been connected with
some of the best institutions of Okla

assistant cashier of the bank and
moved to Topeka to take active charge
of the office work here and has several
assistants working under him.
From a commercial standpoint they
have brought families here and have
already had nearly 81, 900 worth of work
produced for them which they have
promptly paid for. and from a religious
standpoint they have aroused more in

"One OF the first to call on Mr.. House

the first place, it is his right to do so
if he wants to. In the second, there
are few places in the country where it
isn't necessary. More than one
southern woman owes her life and
more than life to the fact that she
had a gun and knew how to use It..
And there are many southern homes
that are Swallowed with horror for q

one. With the plague of tramps that
there has been in the land the last
forty years, northern country homes

southern.
Human nature is always seeking
excuses, therefore food of abuse is
poured on the pistol that should be
blamed on the innate cussedness Of
mankind. The pistol, says the ex-
tremist, is the implement Of the burg
lar, the highwayman and the assassin,
and il there were none Of the pernic-
ious instruments nobody would be
held up or murdered, or there never
would be any accidents.

peaceful man who has to 90 in dan

voIver that takes part in tragedy,
there are thousand peacefully Sleep

Law is good as far as it goes, but
the law can't keep policeman on

rapists do not pick out the vicinity 81
officers of the law to commit then

The Munroe & Chambliss Bank has
just shown the Star a batch of the
new federal reserve notes, the first to
arrive in this part Of the country.
They are very handsome notes, bright
five-dollar bills with portrait of Lin
coin on one side, and two historical
scenes-C Columbus and his crew sight
ing land, and the landing of the Pill
crimson the other. The notes make
pretty pictures and the Star would
like to paper the walls of its sanctum
with them. They are another in
stance of the great improvement in
currency of late years; the paper is
finer, the illustrations much more
clear in design and the note, as well
as looking better, more. difficult to
counterfeit than those issued a few
years ago. Our local fnanciers say
the federal reserve plan is working
splendidly. 1t seems to be the very
best plan yet for handling the funds
of this vast country in a way that
will prevent congestion of money at
one point while scarcity threatens
panic in another.

The friends of Germany who point
backward into the past and tell how
badly the fatherland was treated be-
fore its people became united, state
only the simple truth. Germany in
the seventeenth and eighteenth and
early part of the nineteenth centuries
was overrun and oppressed by the
French, Swedes, Austrians and Rus
rians, and the devastation of the
greater part of the country was worse
than what Belgium now suffers. But
the people responsible for all that
cruelty are dead and gone, and the
French and Belgians of today are in
no wise responsible for the wicked
ness of their ancestors.

Mr.. C. H. Spencer, says the Lake
land Telegram, writes an interesting
and suggestive letter to the Tampa
Times in which he strongly urges that
the people be permitted to vote on the
question of the division of Florida
into two states. The subject has been
often discussed, but the public
doesn't seem to rise to it with any
enthusiasm. But time and persist
ence may force the issue. Mr.. Spen-
Ger says, among other things, the fol-
lowing, which has an appetizing
flavor: "The dividing line from Leon
to st. Johns counties is appropriate
and such division would put Tallahas-
