DISCONCERTING FIGURES.
Baltimore Sun:

Mr.. Hughes and his Republican
friends have insinuated that our pres
ent prosperity is merely sort of ma
tional "gold-brick," promoted by the
Democratic administration in order to
deceive the country and prevent its
return to the political party from
which all blessings flow. They warn
US that these good times are only
temporary" and that the only way
to make them permanent is to put
the Republican party in charge of
things again. 1t must fill them with
chagrin, therefore, to remark the OBJ
stanacy with which the financial and
business skies continue to smile. The
United States Steel Corporation,
though doubtless including MANY
Hughes sympathizers in its manage
ment is forced to confess in its sec
ond quarterly statement that it is
still unpreccdentedly prosperous and
that its earnings have, i'm fact exceed
ed all records. This spell prosperity
down a long line of wage -earners,
and through them to many other
forms of business. From Wilmington,
N. u, comes the announcement that
the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad has
made Il voluntary increase of five per
cent IN the salaries OF all clerks and
agency forces who have been in its
employ for twelve months or more.
thus declaring dividends of prosperity
for two thousand employees.
That these are not isolated in
stances but true induces of general
conditions is indicated by the figures
just made public by the New York
postoffice, showing the increase in
postal savings deposits. The net gain
Tor June of this year was $3,8OO,OOO.
quadrupling the net increase for June
l9!5. And the significant thing about
TINS postal savings increase is that it
was general throughout the country.
notably in the smaller Industrial cen
tres. In other words, it is not only
steelmagnates who are sharing in
the good times, but the workingman
and the man of humble financial de.
gree. This class is earning more
money and putting more money away
than ever before.
MIR. Hughes is unfortunate in hav-
ing to base his hope of election large
ly on the hope of national distress If
we shonld have panic, if factories
should shut up and labor be thrown
out of employment, the Republican
candidates prospects would brighten.

ANSWERING THE TELEPHONE.
Sunday School Times.)

N.IUIIUtRN tINTUUI IIIIIUS.D
To rebuff visitor is neither cour-
teous nor Christian. Most of us
pride ourselves on the fact that we
would not do such thing. Yet tele-
phone discourtcsy is one of the conf
monest, and one of the strangest,
events in the every day life of both
Christians, and other ordinarily cour-
teous folks. Stop and think a mo-
ment: with what tone of voice do YOU
answer the telephone if the bell rings
at a moment when you would rather
not be interrupted An amazingly
large proportion of the well bred,
well-mannered, Christian people make
their first word of reply to the tele-
phone call in tone either of notice

able impatience, or of curtness, or Of
WEAKNESS. Let those same persons
be addressed by friend entering the
room unexpectedly, and they would
not think of greeting him in any way
except that of courteous, inviting well
come-even if they did not feel "wel-
coming" inside. Yet over the tele-
phone they abandon that tone and
spirit whenever they feel like it
and they do not realize what sharp
rebuff it means to the unknown caller
at the other end of the wire. The
simple test is this: do we answer the
telephone exactly as we greet our
friends face to face? If not, let US
be properly ashamed Of ourselves
and never fail that way again.

HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW.
(Farm and Ranch)

The people who pay the taxes to
maintain local improvements, such as
court houses, jails, roads, bridges.
por farms, etc, have a right to know
how the money is being used and who
uses it. Hence when commissioners
and officials become angry when pri-
vate citizens inquire about their own
institutions and business they subject
themselves to criticism. Publicity is
the remedy for many evils and short
comings.

Its comforts, its love, and it's low;
How, back to its peace, his sins to
condonc,
is welcomed the prodigal boy.
They picture his father. with pardon
ing pride,
And glittering robes to unfurl;
But none of the poets have thought il
worth while
To sing of the prodigal girl.
The prodigal son can resume his old
place,
A leader in fashions mad whirl.
With never hint of his former dis
grace.
-, But what of the prodigal girl?
The girl may return to the home that
she left,
Butnothing is ever the same;
The shadows still linger DER dear ones
bereft,
Society SCOTS at her name.
Perhaps that is why, when a prodigal
Gets lost on life's devious track,
She thinks of the lips that will scorn-
fully curl,
And she hasn't the heart to come
back
Yes; welcome the prodigal son to
place,
BE merciful to him and just;
But shut not the door in his frail
sisters face.

trust.

short one and having 50 many matters
worthy Of thorough, careful and

We feel that under the circumstances
we have done our full duty. Our ses-

the work that We have done has been
earnest and painstaking- We have
tried TO be fair and impartial so that

In fact we urge all officials within
