According to information made pub
lie by the war department, the presi-
dents call for the mobilization OF the
national guard Of Texas, Arizona and
New Mexico has resulted in failure.
So many members of the guard have
refused to serve that, the war depart
ment officials say, 1t will require
months to mobilize any con-
siderable force of militia. OF the Sec
ond regiment, of Texas, alone, 116 men
have refused 10 join the colors for
service along the boundary. 1t is fur
Their disclosed that the adjutant gen.
erals OF these three states had ten
days notice of the presidents purpose
to call on the national guard to assist
in patrolling the Mexican border, but
Notwithstanding that fact they have
made comparatively little progress and
there is no prospect OF these states
turning out anywhere near the paper
strength of their national guard or
CARNATIONS, or even anywhere near as
many as equipment has in the past
been provided for by the government.
In the estimation of the war depart
ment, this experience has shown the
folly OF relying on the national guard
as part of the nations first line of
defense, just as was contended by
Secretary Garrison, and rejected by
the president.

By vote of 211 to 161 the House
has passed the McAdoo-W Wilson ship
ping bill. this being very nearly a
party vote. The bill was improved,
in the opinion of some who voted for
it. by eliminating the secretary OF
the treasury from membership on
the shipping board 1t creates and the
substitution of the secretary of com
merce, along with the secretary of
the navy.
Those acquainted with the char
acters OF the secretaries of the navy
and commerce, however, realize that
this actually results in little improve
ment. The bill provides for the in
vestment of S50,o00,00 of govern
ment funds in ships. to be built or
bought or chartered at time when
no such vessels can be built in Amer
lean OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES of their
crowded condition-in time to afford
relief OF the shortage OF shipping in
cident to the European war, and at a
time when completed vessels can be
neither bought nor chartered except
at exorbitant prices, unless, of
course, It be the German ships in-
termed in American waters.
Many House Democrats are frank
to say that they voted for the bill
rather than incur tho enmity OF the
administration. but that they sim
cerely hope the Senate will defeat
the measure.

when You borrow Money.

In the course OF human events II be-
comes necessary for most people to
borrow money. Business men who can
make ten per cent or more out Of trad
Ing find 1t profitable to borrow in order
to carry on business on larger scale,
discount their bills and carry complete
stocks. Others find 1t desirable at
times to borrow for various purposes,
and some find 1t necessary to borrow
because they have either failed to save,
or have been unable 10 save and are
confronted with an exigency that re-
quires money.
Should you at any time find yourself
in such n condition, do not borrow
from your friends. go TO your bank.
That is what banks are for. They live
by their loans. and no banker will re-
fuse loan that meets certain require
ments and is in his estimation good
1t is proposed in the next two OF three
talks on banking to tell you what the
banker wants to know when you offer
him your note. Whether the loan is
large or small the same rules apply.
In the first place the banker will
expect you TO be depositor. Most
banks make II a rule to lend to only
those who are customers. and custom
ers mean depositors. II you favor the
banker with your account, giving him
a profit from the use OF your money,
he will be glad to reciprocate and let
you use his money when you need 1t
and offer the proper security. The rule
is well established to lend in the pro-
portion of not over five to one; that is,
II you keep a balance OF 800, the bank
er would lend you $500, IL he thought
well Of your credit standing. The
greatest mistake business men make
is to keep little or no balance in the
bank and then expect the bank to
accommodate them with loans.
Take an actual case that happened
recently within the experience of the
writer Of these talks. A business man
wanted note of 500 discounted to
meet his payroll. Tho banker knew
him. His moral standing was good.
In looking up the account his balance
was but fifty cents. Now what did
that Indicate? Just this: That the
would-be borrower had trusted every
body until his capital was on his
books, here. there and everywhere,
and he was not collecting his bills. He
had no free money" to carry on his
business. He had no working capital.
He was strapped" The banker was
perfectly justified in asking the Dor
rover either to make better collec-
tons, or get his affairs in such shape
that when pay day came he would not
have to depend upon borrowed moeny
10 pay his men.
Nothing SO hurts an application for
loan in a well managed bank as a
low average balance, and all good
bankers give heed TO this factor.
Therefore. as starting point, do your
business through a bank, deposlting
your receipts and making your pay
ments by check, and keep a balance
large enough to gain tho bankers
good Will when he looks at his dodgers
to see how much of your own money
you have available when the needs OF
business require. Don't do all your
business on borrowed money, for II
the banker finds II out, he won't dis
count your note.

the end that this unpopularity may
be obviated until after the Novom-
Der election.
Juggling the figures does not, how
ever, produce revenue, as everyone
knows. And after the election the
people will be called upon to pay the
bill. Then, according to the present
program Of the administration, there
VIII be provided increases In taxes
sufficient to make good those which
are abolished pending tho election.
This Is not. OF course. an honorable
method of dealing with the finances
OF tho government, or with the peo-
pie. But, then, honor is not mat
ter of Importance to this admins
tration. 1t was not honorable to
swell the treasury balance by pad
ding the general fund" with sums
which did not belong there, but that
was what Secretary McAdoo did, as
has been pointed out In these columns
and his purpose to abolish unpopu-
lar taxes before the national election,
with the full knowledge that exces-
sive taxes will have to be collected
later in order to make good the Dem
ocratic deficit, is entirely typical OF
the methods which the present ad-
ministratIon never hesitates to en-
ploy. 1t is kind OF politics which
will not gain any votes from intelli-
gent voters.

To the infinite horror OF Demo-
Gratis in both houses of Congress, aud
of the administration, Senator Till
man, OF South Carolina, has told
some plain truths about his party in
debate In the Senate, Mr.. Tillmar
has said that the river and harbor
pork barrel" which the Democrats
arc determined 10 put through and
ON the provisions of which they are
counting 10 aid them in gaining re-
election, Is simply criminal waste"
He has pointed out that this sum
would bald two modern first class
cruisers and has insisted that, in
view of the condition of the navy, the
money ought to be spent in tht way.
Describing conditions in Congress
since the Democrats have been in
control, Senator Tillman said;
"You vote for my steal and / will
vote for your steal has come to be
the popular slogan in Congress-
The senator continued;
II cannot understand such a pol
icy at all. do not want 10 hurt anJ-
body's possibilities or wound any
bedy's feelings, but TO me this ex-
Senditure would be criminal under
she circumstances now existing. Why
should we spend all Of this money in
face OF the fact that we are compell-
ed greatly to increase taxes in order
TO run the government this year,"
Senator Tillman declared that he
could not be Influenced by the at
tempt to bride South Carolina con-
gressmen by putting into the "pork
barely 100000 for the improve
meat Of rivers and harbOrs in that
state.
Mr.. Fillmaa concluded with the
declaration that, 'If this bill does
pass / pray God the president will
have the courage to veto It."
