STATE MAY install
SALARY LOAN BANK
House Expected to Approve
Senate Endorsement.
MADISON, April II.


A bill for the establishment in this
state of a Morris plan bank passed in
the senate without a dissenting vote,
and friends of the measure are conf
dent Of success in the house.
"These new financial institutions"
said F. 3. CrosthWaite, who is here in
behalf of the bill, "are operated on the
theory that credit based upon good
character and earning capacity, can
safely be extefded to the salaried
classes, wage earners and others who
can not qualify for loan at a regu-
lar commercial bank
when a loan is made the borrower
and his two co-workers give their
note for one year for the amount Dor
rowed The borrower then signs an
agreement to purchase certificate is
sued by the bank and to make weekly
payments on that certificate for fifty
weeks. Then he becomes the owner Of
the certificate. At the end Of the fifty
two weeks his note becomes due and
can be liQuidated by surrendering the
certificate. This systematic plan OF
saving encourages thrift"

Avoid Grave Mistakes.

New York World: Every mistake
shat that United the States makes N
this war must be paid for in bloodS and
treasure. To blunder is to proIong the
war. ProlOnging the war means kill
lng men that need not have been killed,
destroying property that need not have
been destroyed and adding new burdens
10 the load of suffering and misery
under which humanity is staggering
1t is vital that in all our military
undertakings we should start on right
lines and continue on right lines.
Members of Congress may be con
fdent that that this country can raise
IN effective army by the volunteer
system but the German General
Staff knows better. If we adopt
The volunteer system the German
Government will rightly assume that
we are not going into the war seriously
and that our military activities will
result in more harm than good to the
cause for which we are fighting.

SHIPS, SHIPS, AND MORE SHIPS

Milwaukee Journal: Before all other
needs in this war comes the need OF
ships An army, credits to the allies
vino are our first line Of defense, even
food, will all be valueless without the
means Of transportation. The great
problem is to keep the sea lanes open
and Il steady stream Of vessels crossing
10 carry Americas contribution to the
lighting lines. The plan of building
wooden ships rapidly is excellent and
much may be expected Of American
genius for organization. A heavy re
spCnsbility rests on those who have the
Dailding of ships in charge. They must
do their work well, and they must for
some months be their own mentors and
inspectors. The reason is clear No
ships now being laid down can be
completed for some months. I At the
expiration Of a reasonable period, they
must be expected to come off the stocks
with regularity and rapidity If at
GIldb lllllt IL appears lIltAl OdC WIN 'ie''
not been done well, the loss will be
well nigh irreparable.
In the matter Of raising and sdrilling
armies and perfecting arrangements for
subsisting them, the public can be con
stantly informed of progress and can
throw its weight into assisting and
Fastening. In this all important bust
ness of providing vessels, the laymen
must trust to those who have it in
charge; it will be months before he can
even begin to measure results And
ships there must be. Without ships,
which no amount of money can pro
juce in moment, al! our other prepa-
rations will be Of little, if any, value.

On Calling Yourself "Mister."

You know the man who, in speaking

self respect requires that designation of
himself. | imagine if Mr. Roosevelt had
occasion to talk with you on the tele-
phone be would say: This is Theodore
Roosevelt speaking"
You also know the man who de-
scribes IA conversation between himself
aud another person in this way: Il
said Smith, what do you think about
this matter?' And Smith said to me:
Mister Jones, | think you are absolute
ly right" etc.
Calling ones self "mister" is a
harmless little affectation which lots OF
good men possess, but it's useless and
to some people an offensive expression
of vanity-somewhat like perfume on a
mans handkerchief. Collier
