Real Morality

"PrOvincialism is not morality" says
DIR. Frank Crane, many conscien-
tious people feel that whatever is diff
ferent Is immortal
ITO many an honest villager and
farmer the city is sink of iniquity.
The unconscious ground for this con-
viction is simply that so many things
are done in cities to which the rural
dweller is not used
II find very common expression of
opinion among those of any nation,
section or race, that those of another
are quite loose in morals. The English
think French are libertines, and the
French think English are hypocrites
Methodists imagine shocking things of
Roman Catholics, and the latter can
curdle your blood with accounts of the
vileness of Methodists. church mem

When the evening shade is fallin' at

An a feller rests from labor, smoking

There's nothing does him so much

not always clean,
But it straightens out his temper when
a feller's feelin' mean:
1t take the wrinkles off his face and

That little country paper from his

1t tells OF all the parties and the balls

An how it keeps a feller posted who's

Listen Daughter. Your mother tells

OVERDRAFT CASHING NOW PRO-
MIBITED
Comptroller OF Currency Issues Drastic
Order 10 National Banks

An order issued by the comptroller
OF the currency requiring the national
banks to adopt resolution strictly
prohibiting overdrafts and threaten
ing them in case of disobedience with
being placed on the thirty day list"
has aroused the opposition of all the
Denver banks. as well as those of ev-
cry community in the country, and pa
irons of the institutions who have been
given to the making of overdrafts are
being warned that they must arrange
their affairs so as to permit them to
cease the practice.
Nothing so drastic has ever been done
By comptroller of the currency in
many years as this rule against over
drafts, it Is said. Those who Oyerdraw
are generally individuals and firms of
large wealth, and the rule is to clear
teen up as soon as notified. The banks
now are placed in the position of re-
are covered by deposits and thereby
risking the loss of a valuable CUSTOM
er. This will be extremely embarrass-
ing, for the customer can only remove
his accoun. to another bank which will
treat him in the same way If he trans
crosses the rule
The penalty which the comptroller
holds over the banks, that of placing
them on the "thirty-day list" means
that banks that do not prevent over
drafts will be regarded as unsafe and
therefore liable to examination every
month instead of twice year. In the
form Of the resolution which the comp-
troller expects to be adopted by the di-
rectors of the banks, officers and en-
ployeS who cash Il check not protected
in full by deposits, must be held per-
sonally liable for the reimbursement Of
the shortage to the bank, so that the
shortage will not be carried over to
another days business Denver Post.

Are You a Man or Machinei

Walk into a salesroon-an Office
or a factory and you will usually find
there both Men and Machines.
That is the way all lines of busi-
ness activity are conducted-with men
and machines
Are you one of the men in your line
or are you just one of the machines.
Which is to say, are you content to
passively accept what comes as re-
sponsibility, as it is put to you. dis
charge the responsibility with as lit
tie effort as possible, and wait for
the next thing to do, something on
the order of hay press?
Or do you aim to distinguish your
self from a machine by the exercise
of THOUGHT, and by the exercise of
CREATIVE ABILITY in the interest
of yourself and the business of the
man, or firm, you work for?
The great demand is for Men Who
Think and not for Machines.
Machines have been invented to do
the work Of Men, and have displaced
men whose work they could do, but
they will never invent = machine that
will Thiak and displace men who

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
notice that when the suffragists talk
that they take great credit to themselves
for getting the age of consent raised.
Now this is a laudable ambition and I
suggest that it be raised to 30.
At that age a woman Is as mature men
tally and physically as she will ever be,
and IL she has had to support herself,
she has learned that all the women can't
be presidents. governors and stateswom-
en-: that she has not been able to vote
herself 40 acres and mule and that be-
ing able to vote makes very little diff
ference In her condition, notwithstand-
ing the Elysium promised by Richmond
Pearson Hobson and Charlotte Gilman
Perkins.
Many will find out by that time of life
that they do not want to marry; others
that they are physiologically and temper
great majority will have arrived at a
practical age.
1t will not be Knight In Golden Ar
NOR nor a Prince. Charming that she is
expecting, but Just an ordinary man who
can hustle and pay the rent and grocery
bills and save a little for rainy day
to mate with an ordinary woman, who
knows that her part Is to cook and keep
the house and raise the children. And
to be happy, each must know that they
must be satisfied with what they have
until they are able to get what they
want. e. c. DANDY.

make the good people of Alabama believe
that this legislature has violated some
fundamental principle of the democratic
party by falling to refer the prohibition
bill to the people for ratification be
fore allowing 1t to become effective. They
tell the members OF this legislature they
have broken faith with the people and
undermined the bedrock of the old den1-
ocratic party. They would have. us be-
lieve our representatives have violated
a trust imposed in them and abrogated
a certain principle upon which the DEM
ocratic party was founded.
All this in face of the fact that any
man in Alabama who is capable of cast
ing an intelligent ballot knows the DEM
ocratic party has never stood for and does
not at this time stand for the referendum.
Many of its leaders have publicly de-
clared themselves against the initiative,
the referendum and the recall, among
them being Oscar Underwood of Ala
bama and Joe Bailey of Texas. These and
other leaders of the democratic party have
publicly declared themselves against this
doctrine. The democratic party today
stands for a representative government
and not one by direct voice of the peo-
pie The people of Alabama, who con-
stitute the democratic party, have never
demanded the referendum and IL they had.
| the national democratic party has never
declared for 1t.
The national democratic party has never
inserted a plank in its platform demand
ing the initiative, the referendum and the
! recall. The former legislative bodies of
| Alabama have never formed the habit of
| referring laws to the people before al
| lowing them to become effective and
| why should they do so now until the
party commits itself to this doctrine? Ask
| the editors of these papers how many
| laws in the past have ever been referred
| to the voters of Alabama for ratifca-
| ton.
| We think the public press should be
honest and fair with the people and not
misrepresent the facts in order to serve
some monetary purpose We believe II
should appeal to their better judgment
and reason and not to their passions and
| appetites We believe the pharisaical
robes of righteousness worn by some of
the representatives of the public press
should be woven more of an ethical fibre
and less of the dollar-mark brand.
The public is first entitled to the news
and then 1t is further entitled to honest
statements and fair dealing through the
editorial columns In discussion of any and
all public questions.
The next time any man tells you ouI
legislature should have referred the pro.
hibition bill to the people for ratifica'
ton ask him when the democratic part,
declared itself in favor of the refendum
ASK him to cite you when any other law
making body of Alabama ever referred
it's deliberations to the people to be rat
cd al than fo become law
