Mr.. AMI Mrs. r. II. Carver came
down from their ranch near Guffey

here for two or three days before re-
turning home. Mr.. Carver says in.

in Moonlight eulch' las, week coutin.
ues throughout Park county and that
a great number of mining claims have
been staked in the new district ON
Wednesday OF last week. according To
MIR. Carver. nearly everybody at Guf-
fey and in the surrounding country
deserted their usual occupations and
devoted themselves TO prospecting for
mineral in. the hills. Mr. Carver is
unable to state whether the tungsten

is OF sufficient Importance TO war
rant The excitement ii has creited or
not. The district he SAYS. is strong

sively tungsten ore Is to be found
there he has but little idea.

If We Were
Used to Arms

There is no telling what conscrip-
ton, or universal military training,
would produce in the United States,
for it has never been tried One val
ued contemporary thinks it would
produce higher degree of independ-
ence and security for organized la
Dor In a number of mining strikes,
it points out, large bodies of work
ingmen have been overawed by
small bodies of armed militia or
mine guards. Under the tyranny of
guns they have been arrested and
locked up without due process Of law,
driven out of places where they had
a right to be, subjected to various I'M
lawful trespasses. If those working
men had been properly trained and
equipped as citizen soldiers, our neigh
Dor argues, they would have been able
to defend their rights by force of
arms. In short they could have beat
eli IlS lullllld VI lllillS BudlhS III
pitched battle.
Workingmen have suffered scandal
lous abuse at the hands of armed
bands in various mine strikes. 1t is
our notion that pitched battle is not
the most expedient remedy for that;
but we are aware that this notion lays
us open to the shameful charge of
being pacifsts. Some very sharp
classes of interest occur in this loose
ly regulated republic. They produce
little bloodshed, because the notion of
going to that extreme is foreign to
our mental habits. Being unused to
arms, resort to arms rarely occurs
to us. Whether universal familiar
ity with arms would change that mol
lycoddle condition to the extent sug-
gested by our contemporary we do
not know; and neither does anybody
else. It is one of the interesting
questions Of the militarist program

After the War

Thoughtful men are trying to fore
cast after-the-war conditions. Opt
mists tell us great prosperity is il
sight. They argue that large pay
ments made to our manufacturers fol
munitions means great quantities Of
capital seeking investment. The in
ference is such investments will be
productive and employ many men
thus raising wages.
If manufacturers are making the
millions popularity supposed, as the
rules Of the game are geared up it is
neither as safe nor as profitable for
them to put these millions into pro-
ductive enterprises as to buy and hold
unused land growing in volue.
Are manufacturers making mill
lions, neglecting trade they had built
up, to turn out war supplies? One
of Americas most careful students of
current and past conditions does not
think so. Read the opinion of Byron
w. Holt, of New York, daily in touch
with big business, but, like the late
Tom L. Johnson, in sympathy with the
ordinary citizen. Mr.. Holt writes:
The high prices of raw materials
coal, iron, copper, zinc, lead, tung-
stem, sulphuric acid, etc.-are curtail-
ing the profits of the steel and ammu-
nitions manufacturers. The 100 per-
cent increase in the price of tungsten
will, it is said, take 100000 from the
profits of one big munition maker,
The man who controls the material
and opportunities to production makes
bigger profits than the man who owns
merely the mill. The prices of raw
material-the earth products-have,
as usual, risen more than half the
prices of any class of finished pro-
ducts. With raw materials privately
owned, it matters but little whether
our powder, guns, shells, battleshlps
and submarines are privately or pub
licly produced. Uncle Sam 1--WE tax
payers) has to pay the same tribute
to owners of coal, oil, iron, copper,
zinc and tungsten lands and mines as
does the private manufacturer
George Cartwright.

SHOWS UP GARD
NER LAND BANK BILL
Law Drawn by City Man No Help to
Farmer.

Many people have said to me: "We
want rural credits system but we
think the Gardner Land Bank Bill is
vicious law-shall we vote for the
constitutional amendment? reply
BY ALL MEANS, VOTE FOR the
amendment. Then enact law that
not joke and is not vicious. The
Gardner bill would be funny if less
dangerous; that is true-it was not
irawn for the farmers nor by the
farmers. 1t was drawn by city man
to get farmer votes.
1t is no good because it limits the
loan to 80 per cent valuation. Farm
srs can get that and more without a
land bank.
1t is NOT A LAW. 1t is merely a
scrap of paper" for which power
full lobby forced an endorsement
through the Legislature. Even if
this Amendment carries, the Gardner
bill will be as dead as any measure
that went into the legislative scrap
bag. 1t was unconstitutional when
endorsed and change in the consti-
tuition now cannot breathe into it the
breath of life.
1t is vicious because it puts the ad-
ministration of the land bank in the
hands of partisan politicians, and I'M
der its craftily worded provisions,
those politicians could perpetuate
themselves in office.
A LAND BANK must do more thar
regular loan companies will do. When
an applicant shows honesty, integ-
rity and enterprise he should be per-
mitted to borrow rs per cent or more
as in other countries.

TRIPLETS BORN

Triplets, girls weighing 5 pounds
each, were born last Saturday morn
Kitchens, who live ON farm in the
ing, March 18th, to Mr.. and Mrs. Jas,
Providence neighborhood south of
Maiden. DR.. J. A. Shivers, the at
tending physician, said at the time of
birth the three little girls were well
developed and pretty as black-eyed
peas. That the mother was getting
along splendidly, and Jas. was the
greatest surprised but happiest man
in this section of the county. Since
writing the above we have learned
the younger of the three girls had
died, but the remaining two were get
ting along the incest kind.-Malden

Our Regional
Banking System

Gross deposits in national banks of
the United States, as recently report
cd by the Comptroller of the Currency,
increased by two billion dollars in
1915. Probably deposits in State
banks increased quite as much. This
single years increase, then, would be
equal to total individual deposits in
all banks of all classes as recently as
1890.
1t reminds us that the United
States now has the best banking sys-
tenn in the world. There are faults
of detail that are often insisted upon;
so the broad statement may, at first
glance, be challenged. But we far
exceed any other nation in banking
power. In no other nation has the po-
tential banking power been so ex-
tensively modified. And this is
probably due in no small degree to the
decentralization which sharply dis
tinguished our banking system from
that of every other important nation
until the Federal Reserve Act was
passed. 1t is doubtless due in no
small degree to the thousands of sep
arate locally owned and managed
banks that were out drumming up
business. Wherever there was dol
lar of potential banking business in
sight somebody set up little bank
and went out for it. Probably the
banking power of the country devel-
oped faster under this decentralizing
system than it would have develop
ed under a continental system of
great branch banks.
Under that system the bank at
High Hill would have been an insig-
nifcant twig of great institution,
with headquarters at New York or
Chicago, in charge of salaried man
ager who looked to New York or Chi
cago for preferment. Generally
speaking, we do not believe he would
have hustled for business quite so
hard as the locally owned and man
aged First National did.
Of course our system had an enor-
nous defect, which grew to intoler-
able proportions and made the CEN
Trailing Federal Reserve Banks vi
tally necessary. But the business
getting initiative is still altogether
in the hands of the separate locally
owned concerns; and we think that is
preferable to great branch banks. In
the matter of getting business it has
certainly approved itself.
We not only exceed every other ma
ton in banking power, but probably
a relative greater proportion of bus
mess is done through banks here than
anywhere else.-Saturday Evening
| Post.

CHESTNUT RIDGE SCHOOL
HAS FINE BOX SUPPER

The box supper and entertainment
given by the Chestnut Ridge school
on last Saturday night was bril-
liant success in every sense of the
word. By the kind consent of the
members the entertainment was held
in the large church adjacent and stand
ing room was at a premium even in
the spacious church; and to say that
the program was the best this writer
has ever witnessed in the rural schools
is only to give it it's just dues. The
teacher, Mr.. Emmett S. Womack, is
one Of the best all-round teachers
that Yields the rod in the rural schools
and the rendition of this fine program
reflects great credit on his fine ability,
not only as a teacher, but equally
well as an entertainer. This writer
attended with all his family, and
nothing but the highest words of
commentator have been heard from
them or the many visitors that attend
ed and spoke of the affair to us. At
ter the program Mr.. Otto Shinn of
Chestnut Ridge sold the al boxes
which went as "fast as hot cakes" at
from 80 cents to $500 each. A box
of fine candy was voted to the most
popular young lady present and went
to Miss Virgie Silvey of Chestnut
Ridge, at $5.15, and fine pipe was of
fered for the ugliest man in the
Chestnut Ridge vicinity and was voted
to Mr.. Porter, at SITS, with Stanley
Resinger a close second. both are
industrious mem. The boxes and all
brought the snug sum of $4S.05, which
is the largest sum this writer has ev-
er known to be taken in at similar
entertainment. Everything went
"merry as marriage bell", and the
order was most excellent for so crowd
ed house, and right here | wish to
say that the two best speeches"
made by the pupils singly was rem
dered by Miss virgie Silvey of the
Chestnut Ridge school and Miss Har-
let Gregory of Oak Grove (Pickle).
This of course is according to the
Judgment Of the writer. The crowd
was estimated at between 300 and
400. Mr.. Womack, the teacher, re-
ceived many congratulations on the
success of the entertainment

NO ALUM
A Monstrous Abuse

The cutlery against The abuse Of the
franking privilege by members of
Congress has continued internationally
since the earliest days of this govern
ment and was then continuation of
similar cutlery in the mother coun-
try.
At one time the privilege extended
to every sort of mail, personal or
otherwise, sent by those having the
privilege.
A partial reform has been accom-
plished, but now, as ever, legal per-
mission to send mail without cost re-
suits in crowding the mail bags with
stuff that never ought to have been
mailed. There are packages of gov
eminent seed at this time reposing
on wardrobe shelves in St. Louis flats
that are IL stories above the ground,
in the possession Of people who do not
own enough Of mother earth to fill a
flower pot. They came by mail, but
this is the least of the complaints
connected with the abuse Of the frank
ing privilege.
The most serious complaint is that
which is made once more by the House
Printing Committee when it declares
in formal report that millions and
millions of franked envelopes supplied
free to members of Congress for their
own use have been turned over to pri-
vate organizations to conduct private
campaigns for certain purposes" The
committee further says: "Such trans
actions have cost the government
many thousands of dollars for print
ing and carrying free in the mails
tons of publications intended to fur
Their the special interests of certain
individuals or organizations"
The committee is of the opinion
that such practice should be stopped
by law both because it will save mon
ey for the government and because
it will end one of the chief activities
of the lobby chat has for years rev.
eled in the use of congressional
franks" Certainly the people will
! say "Amen" to this. The abuse is
monstrous. 1t should be cut off with
out mercy.-St. Louis Republic.
