EARLY POLITICAL DEMISE

Martin Dies, the Beaumont con-
| gresham, has bright prospects of his
| early political demise. The congress
man is out of harmony with the
! presidents preparedness program and
has asserted that If his district is
with the president that he will resign.
Mr.. Dies had as well resign. Dies
is from Texas. Dies comes from a
territory that has been blessed by
the unsheathing of the sword. His
district would have still been under
Mexican control if Sam Houston and
few other early Texans had been
too cowardly to fight or had not stood
for preparedness. Dies lives in the
shade of the Alamo, where a defeat
came out of which victory was born
He lives in the country where Deaf
Smith burned the bridges behind the
| Texas army and let them know that
come IN one battle lie lives where
the cry Cf Remember the Alamo
WAS irresistible. and where Santa
Anna was captured and Texas inde
pcndenCc was won at the battle %
San Jacinto He represents a people
who are willing to take the sword
in hand again. He represents a peo'
pie whose minds have been disturbed
by war on the border and they are in
no mood to be content with sitting
while all the rest of the world Is
excited. The president may take the
matter too seriously, but he is the
man we have placed at the head of
the nation to direct our affairs.
Whether he is right or wrong, we are
willing 10 trust him and to follow
his leadership. He is in a position
where he has a right to know better
than the man who follows the peace
full calling of the pillow or who sits
His leadership is recognized by a
loyal people and nearly all people are
loyal. The influence of all the speech
es on peace die suddenly upon the
echo of one bugle call to arms and
Mr. Dies cannot hope to win as long
as he would withhold preparations
for emergencies that might threaten
our liberties.

the bank to do our business smoothly
efficiently and without thought o
the cost or the risks attending.
When your bank hands you checl
book, it gives you license to draw
as many checks, in as large or a,
small sums as YOU wish, with tn,
only provision Except in certain case,
where a minimum balance is required
that you do not Oyordraw, and prom
ises to honor your checks as present
ed as long as your balance is suffic

Whether you want to pay your cred

make your payment with ease, safety
and dispatch.
When you mail your check your
trouble is over and the banks has

YOU three things, all for your own
protection and at its own risk. 1t is
well to know them.
1t guarantees (a) that it will pay
only the checks you have signed. If
your name is forged and the bank
pays the check, it cannot charge the
amount to your account; (b) that it
will pay only in the sum originally
drawn. If some one gets your check
and raises the amount, making it ap-
parently a genuine check, the bank
can only charge the amount in which
you originally drew the check, unless
it can show you We're grossly care
less in so drawing that you invited
fraud. Therefore be careful to draw
your checks properly; (c) to pay to
the party to whom you ordered the
amount paid and none other. If the
check gets into the hands of strangers
who forge the Endorsement, so that
the party to whom you ordered the
money paid does not get it, the pay
ment is at its risk and you are harm
less.
All this is ultimately for your good
as a depositor You know that your
account cannot be drawn against eX-
cept at your order. You know that
the party YOU want TO receive pay
ment gets it. You get back the most
perfect voucher known to the bust
ness world. Many a dispute has
been settled and loss and lawsuit
avoided by producing bank vouchers
that told in no uncertain way that
payment had been made according to
the intent of the drawer. Therefore
for your own good YOU ought to keep
your money in a bank, and draw it
out by check.
