A PRAYER

O God we do not ask to understand;
We do not ask that thy stern, chastenlns
hand
Be lightened; that our burden be made
less,
Or that our journey through this wilder
ness
OF war and devastation shortened be.
We are content to place our trust in thee,
Knowing thy wisdom, thy omniscient
power,
Will guide and shield us in this darkes.
hour
We only ask that we might bear our cross
In patience; that the bitterness of loss
Be leavened by thy love. We only pray
That thou wilt give us strength to treaE
this way
Of thorns and soaring agony. To thee,
Whose son was crucified on Calvary
That we might live, we kneel and say:
Thy will
Be done, 0 God of Hosts" Ana though
we still
Must pray and give, we only pray that we
Through suffering, be closer drawn tc
thee.

PROPOSITION NO. 2.

Proposition No. 2 on the state ballot is
receiving the Endorsement OF many ot the
important financial leaders Of The state,
civ and county treasurers, the heads OF
leading commercial organizations, city
clubs and Improvement leagues Among
those who have advocated its passage are
John S. Chambers, state controller, and W.
r. Williams superintendent OF hanks o.
the state of California.
The measure is an enabling act which,
if adopted will empower the legislature to
PASS laws in reference to the deposit Of
public moneys under proper safeguards
and secure for the state the interest to
which these moneys are entitled.
In commenting on this amendment, Su-
perintendent Williams says: The lntleX-
ible condition expressed in the constltu-
ton and the utter inability Of tha leglsla'
ture to recognize the difference betWee
an active and therefore temporary deposit
and an inactive or term deposit makes Ii
imDossible for many billions of cellars ii
this state to be deposited in banks Within
the law. The result Of this inability t
make legal deposits of public moneys, un-
der certain circumstances, IS lhat VerE
large sums of money are actually GepOsltto
in banks without any warrant OF law ana
without any legal protection ami without
earning any interest for the benefit of the
public
Friend ". Richardson, the state treas
urer in indorsing the amendment says:
"The constitution should be amended to
hermit of the working out Of the details OF
the deposit act by the legislature, and be
made to conform to modern needs while
providing ample security for all deposits,
John S. Chambers, state controller, says
in regard to the same amendment: "OuE
present system is not sufficiently elastic,
It is too rigid. We should have l. system
that will enable us to meet the constant
changes of the times. | am in favor OF
the proposed amendment. The public IN
terest in my Judgment will be sufficiently
safeguarded because the law, under
which the new system would be operative,
either must come through the initiative
of the people or the vote of two-thirds OF
each house of the Legislature, appl owed by
|. the Governor"

QUIT SPLITTING.

There still remain in Ell Cento few
Of those human crocodiles who !labitually
and without perception of the filthiness Of
the habit, expectorate on sidewalk, pave
ment. doorstep or even the floors Of stores
and public places. At any time the evil IS
a terribly dangerous one. At this time II
should be regarded as an open blow at
public safety and should be dealt with ac-
cordingly.
There is a city ordinance covering the
matter as far as recollection goes there
has not been an arraignment under 1t III
many months. Yet stroll through any
part of the business section will give
nauseating proof enough that hundreds OF
persons are violating the law OF ri Centre
and of common sense and decency every
hour of the day.
1t is not too much to say that the man
or woman who gives money to the Red
Cross and spit on the sidewalk afterwart
has nullifed the gift. 1t is not too mucf
even to say that the best patrioLc recorC
NAV be spoiled by such an act OF crimina
carelessness. We have had to amp'
pyoof of the speed with which the lnflu
enza and pneumonia wave spreads to con
vince ourselves that these spltters, cough
crs and hawkers who make cusridors o
nnblic places are not in large measure t
blame for the illness and deaths tnat nav
afflicted the city.

Some Definite Results Of A
Stamp Purchase

Back Of all work Of the campaign for
War-Savings, being conducted through
out the entire state at this time, is the
desire to convert spend-thrift nation
into nation of thrift and saving. The
workers engaged in this campaign are,
therefore, performing not only a patrio-
tic duty but are sowing seeds Of thrift
that in years to come will yield a golden
harvest.
The average business man is much in
clined to undervalue the penny, and even
the twenty-five cents piece. 1t is the big
things that appeal more strongly to all.
To sell Csc Thrift Stamps seems small,
but that the results are of vital impor-
lance is evidenced by a report issued by
the War Department in regard to what
may be purchased by the proceeds of the
sale Of Thrift and War-savings Stamps,
as follows:
"a single Thrift stamp-25 cents
will buy tent pole or five tent pins, a
waist belt OF, hat cord, shoes laces and
tags; two Thrift Stamps
will buy one trench tool, one pair of
WOODEN gloves; four Thrift Stamps will
buy two pairs of canvas leggi1s; six
Thrift Stamps -$1.50-will buy five
