Our government Is going to con-
tinue to sell, during 1920. and proba-
bly, as a permanent feature. Thrift
Stamps, War Savings Stamps and
~Trcasnrey Saving Certificates. Have
YOU some savings cards of the 1919
series Still unified? We urge you
TO fill these up and continue to add
TO your savings by buying thrift
stamps and war savings stamps
whenever YOU have some small
mount that you can save. but would
ordinarily fritter away. Get the
saving habit. We like to see a per-
son who has q genuine saving streak
in Mis- or her make-up-not a
"stiDgy' person. We detest all
such. There's about as much differ
ence between a Saving" person and
q "stingy" person as there Is be-
tween day and night. It's true that
God made both Of them-but the
devil got hold Of the "stingy" guy
and played.
Hello, bud, got your 1919 card all
filled up? Good for you. Now for
tho 1920 series. Go to it!

not believe that this feature will be
in itself particularly c%levating, but

no matter huw CARELESS one may be
cO..G in u.U matter Of character as
regards his coming before the
mayor, the policemen and POSSIBILITY
a few morbid ones who attend police
court hearings out Of idle curiosity,
there + Il few who will not at
least think enough OF themselves to
prefer to guard their actions If they
know that the whole public will be
informed Of their police court
record
That Is the new feature we pro-
pose to add--the publication, every
week, OF what has taken place in
regard to violation Of local laws, as
recorded by the mayor. We have
two reasons for doing this: First,
as stated above, in the hope that full
publicity will have the good effect
Of prevention Of local law violation;
second, because we want to be free
to condemn, without the possibility
or any II saying that we have gone
out Of our way to point to some
through prejudice or malice. In
handling a recent cas- in the local
court Mayor Pro TEN M. G. Long
stated that in settling the case he
would exercise ludicrous leniency,
because IL he did his duty as he
saw 1t, he would be criticised by
political enemies Of undue harshness
or perjudice, and he preferred to be
criticised by his friends for extreme
leniency. Our line Of thought is in
much the same channel.
So, beginning with 1920. we pro-
pose to publish, without regard to
who may be concerned therein, a
full record Of the police court trans
actions--the name OF each person
charged with an offense against the
laws Of the town, the disposition Of
the case, whether found guilty,
pleaded guilty or dismissed, and in
case Of conviction or pleading guilty,
the amour Of the fine or alternative
tumble Of days given. and whether
fine j: paid or service Of time ac-
cepted; and in cases where arrests
are made, cash bonds put up and
forfeited by reason Of non-appear-
ancc for trial, these facts also will
be noted. in other words. the record
Of the municipal court will be given
full publicity without fear or favor.
