(Adyertisement The English have no name for it. The Germans call it Sittlichkeit.

Sittlichkeit is the system of habitual or customary conduct, ethical rather than legal, which embraces all the obligations of the citizen which is bad form" or not the thing" to dis regard.
 The system of Ethical Habit of a community is of a dominating charac- ter, for the decision and influence of the whole community is embodied in that social Habit
 Because that conduct is systematic and covers the whole field of Society the individual will is closely related by t to the will and spirit of the com munity.
 And out of this relation arises the power of adequately controlling the conduct of the individual.

 If the space in the personal war fare by the two papers and the thoughts and labor to fill that space were used for something really worth while, something that would advance the growth of Cordova either socially, morally, or commercially, create en. thusiasm for miles of new streets, sidewalks, yes and dozen more Bulk heads, even if expensive, We might accomplish something.

Not only every large city but every town and vii
lage has its banking concern. The most prominent
business men of the country are identified with
the management of these institutions But of the
hundred millions who compose the population of
the United States there comparatively few who
do not, at some time other. have dealings with
the banks. The banks in 1896 reached the voters.
They can do the same in 1916 And it must be
remembered that the controversy between the
Riggs Bank and the Treasury Department will not
be ended next year. 1t will go from one court to
another until ii finally reaches the Supreme Court
of the United States.
And in the meantime it must not be forgotten
that the bank directors OF the country, 900 out Of
every 1000, men OF high standing and integ-
rity in their communities, whose counsel will

perhaps the administration, to use a homely but
expressive phrase, has bitten off more than it can

The waste basket is an article of convenience

for some lost possession one ever examines the

1t was foregone conclusion that the Terminal
Taxcab Company would take the question OF the
valuation placed upon its property by the Public
Utilities Commission into the courts for adjudica-
ton, and doubt the commission itself was fully
prepared for this move. Many important con-
sideraions involved including the jurisdiction
of the commission and the legality of excluding
from valuation everything except the tangible
property of the company. The case is likely to
reach the Supreme Court OF the United States,
whose decision will apply with equal force to all
the local public utilities and settle once for all
differences between the commission and the COM
panies which it is apparent never be recon-
