The Bank Account

The bills at the jewelry store had been
settled in checks on Bobs bank account,
but now Grace declared that as her mates
equal in every respect joint bank account
must be established, Bob was trying to
persuade her that this was a piece of use
less duplication when they were stopped in
the street by Mr.. Burroughs. who produced
a handsomely Autographed cashiers check
on the Nevada First National Bank for
$1,000 and handed it to Grace, saying that
1t was the sort of paper he preferred above
all others and that he thought it would
meet with some favor from her. Grace
smiled through her tears as she archly
inquired of Bob;
How about the joint account now"

Hiram sped for the Nevada First National
Bank, where they slipped in through the
side door. 1t still lacking an hour of 10

railway men are given proper Legal

abiding citizens, fully as much so as

Third. The occupancy by con-
gress of the entire interstate COM
merce field is q stupendous, gigantic
undertaking, but it is squarely up to
congress at the present time, and con-
gress should fearlessly grapple with
the problem. 1t should provide for
general reorganization of railroad
traffic, under the supervision Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
In the enactment of this legislation
Congress can not safely proceed slow
ly as it has heretofore in such matters.
The great increase in our money sup
ply has vastly increased the cost Of
all necessaries Of life, as well as ev-
erything that enters into the con-
struction and operation of railroads,
and some lawful means must be pro-
vided for the adjustment of rates and
wages so that they may conform to
the country's changed conditions.

THE FORWARD. MARCH OF PRO.
HIBITION.

| AT the last election the states OF
Michigan, South Dakota, Nebraska
and Montana were added to the ranks
of the dry" states by constitutional
amendments. The territory of Alaska
voted in favor of the abolition Of the
liquor traffic, and prohibition COVER
nors were elected in Florida and Utah.
Seventeen of the thirty states carried
by President Wilson are prohibition
states. 1t begins to look as though
the liquor traffic was doomed to ban
ishment in the near future from every
state.

In Praise Of Work.

Work is the salvation of the race.
Without 1t we should be savages. When
a man is too old for work, his useful
ness in this world is practically at an
end. Work is a good, old-time word,
conceived in honesty of purpose. Work
drives the devil away. All honor to
the working man and sorrow for the
working man who is ashamed of his
title.-Pittsfield Eagle.

WILSON Is ELECTED.

(From the Waterloo Times Tribune,
i Now that Judge Hughes has wired
his congratulations to the president
there is little more to be said. w,
! may expect California to keep itsel
in the 1imelight for some time, but
y fortunately, there will be little news
value in anything sent out. from Cali,
fornia now. sasfst
Judge Hughes withheld his con.
gratplations and well-wishes for a
long time, but he explains he was
simply awaiting developments in a
close vote. The delay of the Judge,
however, has led to considerable dis
cussion anent the sending of congIetu-
lations by the loser to the winner.
The bombastic and egotistical Chica-
go Tribune was first to declare that
there is no such thing as a good
loser" holding that the so-called
good loser" is but fool" In its
narowness and political insanity it
praised the judge for maintaining a
.dignified silence. Congratulations
were not in order. It was not sport
ing event. Narrowed down, the peo-
pie, by 100000 plurality, made fools
of themselves. They had elected the
wrong man California was "boob"
state because it went for Wilson. Just
why California was singled out and
Ohio, Nebraska, Kansas, North Dakota.
Idaho, and all the rest
were not cited as "boob" states, also,
is not mentioned. But enough of the
Chicago Tribune, it may run amuck
to its hearts content, the public has
begun to appreciate the joke.
In sending the. message congratu-
Iating the president, the judge is simp
ly recognizing and bowling to the will
Of the people as expressed at the
polls. The judge is simply wishing
the people well in their decision.
However he may believe that the peo-
pie did not express themselves wise
" he would place his Judgment on
Too high q pedestal were he to pit
It against that nearly half million
plurality. In their national life this
people have made few mistakes, it
would i'll become a few Of US to
doubt the judgment Of the many.
And, again, in republic, the peo--
pies choice is the choice Of the re-
public. Judge Hughes is but bowling
to the will of the nation. AS an
American citizen it is fitting for him
to do so. The Quaker found every
body wrong but himself and his wife
and sometimes he was suspicious that
his wife was not always right. Be
sides, as matter of politics, it were |
we'll to acknowledge the victor, even
though with wry face. The people
like to think that when the battle is |
over there should be rallying around
the banner. A political party would |
not dare intimate, by its silence, that !
the peoples voice was not sound.
So now let us to our knitting.
