Here Is a Big Reason

When the Ford peace party left New
York harbor on Dec, A, little else but
4 5idicule was accorded it.
President Wilson would have nothing
v do with an official conference of neu
S1fo1 nations which was urged upon him
w Mr.. Ford and others, and so the unof-
Ucfal conference, outgrowth of the Ford
G&rty, was attempted and established at

the government provided that these
deposits could not, for any cause, be
attached, and, we understand, this
provision of the law still stands,
though it is very doubtful if it would
be upheld by the courts. Money any
where else may be- attached under
certain conditions and procedure.
Making such an exception in the
case Of the postal savings banks un-
doubtedly helps to insure the success
of this institution, but from the bust
ness viewpoint, it is neither fair nor
equitable; it virtually places pre-
MUM upon dishonesty and puts the
government in the position of assist
ing dead-beats in evading their just
obligations. Dry goods merchants, drug
gists, general dealers, clothiers, hard
ware men and fuel dealers should be
interested in this proposition nearly as
vitality as the grocers and butchers. All
the retailers associations could work
together on this, and if they will take
united and vigorous action they can
bring about the amendment Of this
law and correction of condition that
will otherwise develop into a serious

There are two kinds Of good resolu-
tons: The positive and the negative,
and the former kind present the larg-
er opportunity for welding a continu-
Gus influence, for they are the more
wholesome, and afford the more tan
gible basis for observance. If you have
resolved to do the best that is in
you during the year 1916, you can
keep hammering right along on the
proposition, and, as you put new en-
ergy into your effort, you become
more effective in getting results. If,
on the other hand, you have simply
made up your mind to lot of mega
tions, to refrain from doing certain
things that you believe that you ought
not to do, but that you have been in
the habit Of doing, there is no working
basis for fortifying your position, and,
almost unconsciously the sentiments
which prompted these "swear-offs"
evaporate. The kind Of reform that
counts is constructive, whether Its ap-
plication is personal, commercial or
civic. 1t consists in doing something,
not simply in applying restraints,
whether self-imposed or compulsory.
