THE RIGGS BANK TROUBLE.

The institution of suit by the Riggs National bank of Washington, D. C., against the United States treasury officials is discussed by tie Msm- this News-Scimitar, which presents a side of the matter not conveyed in the news report. The News-scimi- tar says:
 The Riggs National bank of Wash ington is again in the spotlight, and in it's desperation seems to be seek ing to destroy itself. It's attack upon Secretary McAdco and John Skelton Williams, and it's mad temerity in appealing to the courts, seem to be with suicidal intent. This institution for many years has been the head quarters of frenzied finance. It was the meeting point and gambling house of those who sought to obtain something for nothing, and which made inordinate demands upon the government, because of the promi- hence of those connected with it in one way and another Tennesseans will remember that one of our most illustrous congressman.

OH, FOR A DESPOT!

For years we dry. teetotal cranks
have tried to slay the demon Rum,
and from our agitated ranks all sorts
Of shrieks and prayers have come.
Such weapons as we're at command we
have employed, as best we knew. and
every corner Of the land has heard our
earnest howdy-do. We gain a little
every year, small triumphs follow
every slump; a village there, a
county here, cuts out the booze and
hits the pump. But, oh! 1t Is a weary
task. this toiling onward, stage by
stage, while %Barleycorn, with jug and
flask. still poisons Youth and murders
Age! But In this country of the free
we cannot burn the boozing ken, or
lock the door and lose the key-the
Beast must linger in its den, until the
law, that's halt and lame, can be per
suaded of the truth, and urged to kill
the thing Of shame that fattens on the
nations youth. Enlightened Russia
knows the way, great Russia, with her
tyrant car; he twists his wrist, and
in q day the lid is placed on every
bar. The wish is treason. much I
fear, and l am shaking in my shoes
/ wish we had a despot here, just long
enough to kill Old Booze.-Walt Ma,

EXCELLENT

By command Of King George OF
England no wines or spirits will be
allowed to be consumed in any Of his
majesty's houses.
The question of drink and its effect
on the work necessary for the prose
cution of war overshadows everything
else in public interest.
The press and the public favor some
drastic measures. a majority Of the
newspapers expressing the belief that
total prohibition, which would appeal
to all classes, Is necessary.
King Georges example and appeal
is said to have had a most remark
able effect at Glasgow. The s~hipyards
Of that city comprise probably the
hardest drinking community in Great
Britain, but after word was received
OF the kings action by concerted
agreement the laborers r reported
to have Stunned the bar.rooms.
Government leaders have stated
that they are considering the question
not from a moral, but from an eco
nomic standpoint. They believe the
country will gain financially by any
movement shppressing the sale OF
liquor. A manufacturer, who Is a
student Of the drink problem, says:
III the public saw the time-sheets Of
industrial concerns engaged in man
ufacturing munitions of war, showing
the contrast between the work done
by teetotalers and drinkers, 1t would
be appalled,. The days lost by drink
ers reduce their working time on an
average to three full days a week.
Britain's drink bill Is twice as much
per capita as Americas, four times as
much as Canada's, and far the high
est of any country in the world"

band. A married man has no priB
ciple II he shows undue attention to
any woman save his wife. Her dignity
as his wife. the hope she has always
had to protect his honor and make
glad his home, usually suffer when the
tongues Of the gossips are set wag,

friend.
No young women Of proper regar6

or meet him neal a theater; sit be-
side him, laughing with flushed checks
over a play Of some gay amusement,
or join in a dance, his arms encirc-

wives are careful as to the friends

wisely and are not sorry II they seem
Indifferent to some who perslstently
plan to mingle with them as close
friends, and use every available effort
to enjoy their hospitality on every
occasion that presents itself.
These cautious wives are not the
ones who are unduly jealous. Often

her a chance to talk with her unde-

consequences. Husband and wife can
Ill afford to cease having tender

other. 1t many a snare. Love
binds a mar to happiness In the bosom
OF his family and closes the door on
unhappy loves tempters and upon all
that leads astray. He who Is fervent,
then false, to one young woman who
crosses his path will never remain
for long true to her. No young woman
should beguile herself into the belief
that the married mar respects her.
Single women should attract men who
wish to marry for love and honor.

SAFEGUARDING YOUNG GIRLS
SEEKING EMPLOYMENT.

Let the sweet heavens endure,
Not close and darken above me,
Before I am quite, quite sure
That there Is one to love me
Then, let come what may
To a life that has been 30 sad,
shall nave had my day.
When a girl Is obliged to go forth
In search of work she cannot be the
chooser, II her needs be urgent, OF
what kind Of employment she will &C
cept. The plain fact Is she must take
q place where she a get 1t.
1t Is not once In a thousand times
that the proprietors who employ
young girls are aught else than hard.
headed business men. But that thou.
sandth man, If he is of the kind whose
heart runs away with his head, and a
pair Of bright eyes can play havoc
with his good judgment, topping It
over, how may an innocent young girl
entering his employ be safeguarded
from his attempts to fasclnate her?
1t appears to be the family men who
are the worst offenders. after they
have first set foot on the slippery
plank Of dishonor, balancing with
honor. No one can exact of an EN-.
ployer q certificate of his honesty,
trustworthlness, ETC., such as he might
ask an employee to furnish. There.
fore the girl must accept the position
with any and every risk 1t may en-.
tail. Working girls, just beginning
life's battle, should be safeguarded by
woman friends who make 1t their
business gently to explain that a girl
has no right to accept courtesies from
any man, independent Of who he
might be. such as accepting luncheon
which he sends out for. II 1t be in
clement weather. for her only, allow.
ing her companions who are also in
the same employ to get it as best they
a or do without,
II the man is married, there should
be no sentimental word from his lips
listened to. A vigorous protest should
end his overtures then and there. On
no occasion should a girl consent to
meet him outside of his business place
beyond business hours, or permit him
to take her to her lodgings in his au'
tomobile or coach. The ruination OF
young working girls lives always has
a beginning; II precaution is taken at
the outset young women will soon
learn to care for themselves.
1t is that t%housandth employer we
hear of, and we are duly thankful
that the other 999 need no reminder
to safeguard the honor Of the sweet
young girls who look to them for
maintenance by honest work for hon.
est wage. In this age of e~nlighten.

Of the drink upon those who drink 1t,
but the effect upon those who are to
come. Most Of the epilepsy is caused
by drunkenness. The children are the
sufferers and, as usual, the poor suffer
the most from 1t. The president of a
people might not be a drinker himself,
but so long as he permits his people
to play with poison he is showing HIM

Of the treasury department. The price
Of tea Is advancing steadily. Russia,
the greatest tea-drinking nation In
the world, is expected to consume even
more tea as-a result Of the cars or.

liquors. particularly vodka in that
empire. Russian soldiers in the
