TO HONOR HEROIC
WOMEN OF SOUTH
DAUGHTERS OF CONFEDERACY
RAISING FUNDS TO BUY MEN,
ORAL WINDOW.

Atlanta, Ca, April "a fund OF
$500 now is being raised in Dixie to
put a memorial window to the wom-
en- of the South in the building be-
ing erected by Congress in Washing
ton, to the memory of the women of
the North and South during the civil
war
Mrs. NC. Kimbrough of Green
wood, Miss, is chairman of the COM
mittee of the United Daughters of
the Confederacy, who are raising the
fund, the committee having been
named at the convention of the Unit
ed Daughters OF the Confederacy,
held in San Francisco recently. Mrs.
Kimbrough now is sending out letters
to various civic organizations, en-
listing their aid to the end that the
necessary funds be raised at once.
eve cannot AFFORD" she says, "to
miss this rare opportunity to show
the world that we of the South who
lost our all in this great civil war
desire to do our part toward making
permanent that brotherhood which
prompted a national Congress to do
equal honor to both Sides"
II was in 1913 that Senator Root
of New York introduced bill in
Congress asking for an appropriation
for the erection of a memorial to the
women of the North who lived dur
ing the civil war.
Senator John Sharp Williams of
Mississippi offered an amendment to
the effect that the memorial include
the women of the South. The bill,
with the amendment, passed, and
Congress appropriated s750.000 for
the erection of the Memorial Build
ing in Washington.
Mrs. Kimbrough went to Washing
ton and discussed with those in
charge of the memorial the sugges-
tion that two memorial windows be
placed in the building, one to the
women of the South and the other
to the women of the North. 1t was
explained to her that the money for
such purpose would have to be
raised by subscription. She was told
that the United Daughters Of the
might be permitted to
raise the funds for the window for
Southern women. The plan met with
approval when Mrs. Kim
ball submitted it to the 1914 conyen-
ton at Savannah.
At the 1915 convention of the
of the Confederacy at San
Francisco the daughters made def
mite plans for raising of $4,000 for
this purpose. Mrs. Kimbrough, who
was put in charge of the campaign
for funds, says the Memorial Build
ing soon will be finished, and it is
her hope that the funds will be raised
IN ample time for the Southern win
low to be placed before the compile
ion of the memorial.

A proposed ordinance to regulate traffic in Little Rock, introduced in the council of that city Monday night, recognizes rights of pedestrians, though it contains provision against "jay-walking" in the downtown sec- tion and pedestrians will be required to cross streets only at intersections and then at right angles.
 With reference to the rights of ve- hiclcs and pedestrians, the proposed ordinance says:
 "The roadbeds or highways are pri- marily intended for vehicles; but ped estrians have the right to cross them in safety and all drivers of vehicles shall exercise all proper care not to injure pedestrians. Pedestrians when crossing the street shall not careless ly or maliciously interfere with the passage of vehicles. Vehicles shall be driven in a careful manner and with due regard for the safety and conven- fence of pedestrians and all other ve- hiclcs."

KAISER TELLS WHY HE'S NOT
 IN TRENCHES
Must Not Risk Life, Be cause of Divine Appoint
 ment to Lead.

London, July 24.-Emperor William, during his recent trip to point some where in the rear of Peronne, on the Somme front, says a dispatch to the Wireless Press from Berne, made a speech to the German wounded sol diers which is attracting great atten- tlon in Germany. The German emperor IS quoted as saying:
 1t is the most poignant grief of my life that I am unable to take a more active part in this war; It is my earn est desire to take my place in the trenches and to deal such blows at our enemies as my age and strength would permit.
 "I could take my place with the youngest of you and I promise that 1 would leave my mark on the enemy. But the inscrutable Almighty has willed otherwise. Into my care has been committed by divine destiny the leadership of our country, it's armies and it's forces on land and sea.
 "The burden of thinking, deciding and leading has been hard upon me, and realizing this, know that my life must not be risked in the foremost line of battle, where my feelings, if unrc- strained, would carry me swiftly.
 My life must be conserved care fully for the welfare of Germany in order to carry out the duties assigned to me by divine appointment"

FREAK LEGISLATION.

It is noteworthy fact that we have no record of "freak" law placed on the statute of any state by the means of the initiative and referendum. The body of laws so made will compare very favorably with those created by legislatures. The average is really superior, and the referendum has to its credit the killing of many very un- desirable legislature made laws, and no popularity initiated law has ever been declared unconstitutional. As a rule they are simple, brief and to the point, and accomplish just what was intended by their sponsors.
 Amendment No. 13 will give Ar kansas one of the best initiative and referendum laws in the United States.

PRICES.

The New York Herald, Investigating the price of gasoline, finds that it re- tails at the same time for 19 cents q gallon in Detroit, 20 cents in Chicago, 21 cents in New Orleans, 25 or 2o cents in Cleveland and P cents in New York.
 Just why there should be this great discrepancy, particularly between Chi cago and New York rates, nobody seems to know, except possibly the oil men-and they won't tell. Even on the hypothesis that all the gasoline is produced in or near Chicago, it cer- tainly doesn't cost seven cents a gal lon to ship it to New York. As mat ter of fact, there are large refineries very near New York City. And much of the gasoline which Detroit buys several cents cheaper than Cleveland is shipped from Cleveland refineries.
 The only sure thing about such mys- teries of trade is that manufacturer, middleman and retailer tacitly con- spire to charge all the traffic will bear. And the presumption is that gasoline cost most in New York City for the same reason that everything

 They are required to report to the comptroller of the currency five times a year without notice, the report dat ing back a few days for obvious req sons. They are also required to be examined twice each year by the di- rectors, and are visited by the national bank examiners also twice each year without notice. The examiners go carefully into all the various details, particularly into the loans, and are as conversant with the larger borrowers as the directors.
 The national banking system has proven sound in it's principles, efficient in it's management, and satisfactory in all it's operations. Under the federal reserve act member banks may take promisory notes of certain type and turn them into money in the course of a few hours, by rediscounting them at the federal reserve bank, which is a valuable feature. This is not to say, however, that national bank is better than any other type of institution, but they have enjoyed long years of pros perity and able management, with lit- tie loss to their depositors.

TALKS ON BANKING.
Kinds of Banks.

To the average person bank IS bank-''a place to. put money;" and for all ordinary purposes this $ enough to know, provided, of course, the bank is sound and worthy of con- fidence It is well, however. to under stand that there are different kinds of banks, and to know the distinguishing characteristics of each
 We have in this country four kinds of banking institutions: (a) national banks; (b) state banks; (c) trust com panies; (dD savings banks. All the foregoing receive money on deposit and pay it back again, as a rule, on de- mand; but the rules under which de- posits are received differ. All the fore going but the savings banks have capi- tai stock and are owned and controlled by stockholders. Savings banks are of two kinds-stock savings banks and mutual savings banks. The difference between these will be noted later, the present talk will treat of national banks only.
 National banks are under the direct supervision of the comptroller of the currency and are not subject to state laws except in the matter of taxes. In country district they cannot organize with a capital of less than $25,000, while in larger places the capital re- quirements are greater. National banks do a general banking business, which consists of receiving deposits, paying checks and making loans. The one feature which distinguishes na- tional banks from all others is the issue of national bank notes, which form a large part of the circulating currency of the country. These notes are secured by government bonds de- posted with the treasurer at Wash Eington, and every national bank note lis in reality part of a government bond, cut up into small denominations for convenience. Under the federal reserve act these will ultimately be re- tired and the federal bank notes will take their place, but it will be some years before this is accomplished.
 The national banks were instituted

JAMES WHITCOMB RILEY.

In paying tribute to the memory of
 the Indiana poet, who died Saturday
 night, we borrow the language of the
 Memphis Commercial Appeal, which expresses So we'll the sentiments we all
 feel, when it says:
 Dead, the man whose joyous person.
 ality wove itself into his poetry? Silent, the voice which for thirty
 five years had sung the child heart of
 the nation into ecstasy?
 It seems unbelievable, for to him
 perennial life belonged by virtue of the sunshine that he spilled into the
 lives of his fellow men. And yet the dispatches tell us that James Whit comb Riley died Saturday and that this morning they will bury him under the sod and the sunlight of his native Indiana
 In tens of thousands of homes there is shadow today, for the news of the poets death broke sharply on the heart of the nation, and the surety that there will be no more "Riley poems" comes with a sense of literary disaster.
 The critics of hundred years from now may give him scant space on the credit side of the page of fame, for methods change and there are "fash- ions" in verse as in other things. But it is not conceivable that the time will ever come when public appreciation will wane, for Riley wrote of the things that touch everyday life and are a part of every mans childhood and therefore he is fitted into niche that is universal. No one class claimed his as it's own, for rich and poor have dived in "The Old Swimmin' Hole" and have trembled with fright lest "the goblins should get them."
 His life has been an open page, written over with the pastoral of hu- man nature since first he travelled through the countryside, painting signs and "fiddling" for the dancing feet of young villagers. Afterward, when he began to write, first for the i Indianapolis newspapers, he had his home state audience ready to applaud. And it was not long before the whole 1 country was joining in the joyous ap- proval. From "Hoosier singer" he passed into a national figure.
 And in that character he has held his own for more than a quarter of a century. He belonged, not to one sec tion or state, but to the childhood-and the manhodd- America. Statesmen and even presidents evoke sharp diff ferences of opinion, running from ap- proval to animosities; but for the poet there bloomed but one flower-the rose of love, with never thorn under its velvet petals.
 And So today there is sorrow in a million American homes while they bury "Jim" Riley up in Indiana, and the "requiescat in pacs" of the funeral ritual becomes the prayer of the whole people.
 He made life vari-colored with joy for us, and now his reward has come. He has gone "Out to old Aunt Mary's" higher home; he has found that "Old sweetheart of his," he has heard "The First Bluebird" singing in the clysian fields, and he is standing "knee-deep" in the Junes of eternity.
 Good night, Jim Riley; the angles were glad to get you!

THOSE 100000 WOMEN.

The Woman's party is going to hold convention at Colorado Springs Au- gust 10, II and 12. And according to Miss Alice Paul, one of the party leaders, "We shall probably decide there who is to be the next president of the United States"
 The women of twelve suffrage states, she explains, have 4,0O0,0O0 votes. They twill shelp elect one fourth of the senate, one-sixth of the house, and cast one-fifth of the elec- toral vote and one third of the votes necessary to elect president"
 The belief entertained by this new party, with is nucleus of militant Con- gressional Union women, that it can dominate the coming election, is ques- tioned by other suffragists. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, of the National Woman Suffrage association, after careful study, concludes that there are not more than 2,000,0O0 women's votes to be bidden for by the ''men's parties" She points out, however, that since women vote for 91 electors out of total of 531, and Harrison, Cleve- land and Garfield were all elected by smaller plurality than that, the suf- frage states may be said to hold the balance of power, and thus the wom- en voters may actually determine the presidential election.
 All such arguments, however, are subject to one fatal flaw. The suf- frage leaders, particularly the "Wom- ems Party" leaders, ignore human psychology. While stoutly asseverat- ing that women are people" they ne- glect to attribute to women any such motiyes as move other people,. e., r4le& &zSiint the exercise of their politi- caE fnkctions. They seem to imagine that all the women voters, by some mysterious magnetism of leadership, may be made to act as unit instead ot IS individuals.
 It is no more credible that all wom- en can be made to vote solidly for or
