Will Bingham county line up in front rank or
back down? Will any precinct in the county come
across 100 per cent pure? Will any precinct back
down and vote against the bonds and shoulder the
record that will attach to such vote? Will any
precinct say by its vote that it wants good roads but
not by Its own efforts or by the use of it's own
credit and workable wealth?
We hope every precinct in the county will vote
for the bonds and cast few if any votes against
them Every vote cast against the bonds helps to
destroy the credit of the county, and credit has
real value very great value. If the bonds are
to be issued and sold, and we feel sure they will,
they will sellfor more money if there is little or no
vote against it. Every precinct that gives it vote of
IS per cent or more, adds little rolls of money to
the amount the bonds will sell for. Every pre-
cnct that gives it vote Of 100 per cent pure adds
large rolls of money to the amount of the bond sale

several dollars would on the old plan before peo-
pie used banks. It makes great deal of work keep
ing books in the bank, and it takes great deal of
mail and postage to carry the exchange of checks
between banks where they are cashed by banks in
other towns than where the funds were deposited,
but it greatly mutpies the workable capital of the
county.
Where the bank makes its chief income is from
oanng some of these dollars one or more times

is worth just much to him as if he had the coin

The bankers gain is not the depostor's loss When
banks used to sometimes fail-it was because they
made the mistake of loaning too much and keeping
too little in reserve to cash checks needed to keep
business going and to keep it safe
Banks have been made safer every year BY
various means, and when the Federal Reserve bank
was created, it made it possible for each bank to
become member and have the protection of their

separate dollar has not only been multiplied but

If the banker knew how long each check would
circulate before it was presented for payment, if
checks were large enough so he could afford to
keep record and estimate the amounts that would
be presented for payment each day, he would find
the power of money still further increased and
safety further increased This same principle is
put into action when loans are made covering long
periods and bonds are issued to circulate or to be
held as evidence of the wealth. Unlike the checks,
they earn some interest for the holder, but a low
rate of interest. The money is put into circulation
to keep business going and the bonds increase the
working power of money and of counties and cities
very much as the deposits in the local banks in
crease the power and financial strength of the peo
pie of the local community. The same principle
applies to the larger organizations of nations, for
international commerce enables them to keep the
money at home and pay the international bills and
debts by passing drafts back and forth, either by
mail or by cable. The debts we owe to each other

portunty to again address our patrons and speak
frankly about the questions confronting US all
We are in favor of the bond ISSUE not because
in the banking business, for we are interested
in other things besides the welfare of our banks
We would be in favor of the bond issue if we were
not in the banking business. We would be in favor
OF the bond issue if we were engaged in any other
occupation in the county and had the insight we
now possess into the fundamentals affecting the
stability OF business and the way it helps hurts
everybody from the greatest to the least.
If we utterly selfish and cold-blooded as
many people accuse us of being, we could not af-
ford to advise people to follow public or private
policy of business that would be for anything but
their best interest, for our business and prosperity
are dependent upon their welfare and not on their
msfortunes or universities people sometimes think.
The local bankers do for county what the
bonding houses do for whole states or districts, and
all work in harmony. When a thousand families
have, say, thousand dollars each to handle in the
course of few months, if they all kept their coin
in strong boxes till the day they used it, money
would be scarce and times would be hard in bust
circles If these thousand families deposit
their money in the banks and take away blank
checks to business on the checks circulate
in the county and times are good AT the same
time, the other thousand families in the county who

good many of those people who borrowed
money deposited it in the same bank they borrowed
it from and took check Books out to transact their
business on, and the bank in turn loaned part of that
money while on this second deposit, to some of

Finding Fault.

Addison says. "What an absurd thing
II is to pass all over the valuable parts
Of man and fix our attention on his
infirmities But that seems to be the
habit. About the first thing we try TO
find In a man is his faults. They are
apt to transcend his virtues, even II
the virtues are mountain high. It
is deplorable habit, for it not only
does great injustice to the person criti.
cized, but 1t hurts the critic himself.
1t lowers his views Of life and confirms
the habit of seeing the worst side of
human experience and losing sight of
the bright side. No man can be a
moral man. or religious man of any
faith, who is constantly searching for
the faults of people. The first duty a
man owes to his neighbor is to look
for the bright side and he will then
find, In most cases, that the dark side
Is much smaller than he suspected
The thing to attack is the sin, for we
will discover that that is greater than
the man who Is guilty Of it.--Ohio

PoE's PLACE IN LITERATURE
America Has Not Accorded Due Honor
TO Her Gifted Son, ls Opinion OF
Hamilton w. Mable.

A national literature must have
many notes, and Poe struck some
which In pure melodic quality had not
been heard before. AS literary inter-
ests broaden. and the provincial point
Of view gives place, the American esti-
mate of Poe will approach more nearly
the foreign estimate. That estimate
was based mainly on recognition
Of Poe's artistic quality and Of the
marked individuality of his work.
Lowell and Longfellow continued the
old literary traditions; Poe seemed to
make new tradition. The art
list always pushes back the bounda-
ries a little. and opens window here
and there through which the imagina-
tion looks out upon the world Of which
II dreams, but which 1t sees so rarely ;
and we are not prone to mete out
with mathematical exactness our
praise of those who set us free. II
we lose our heads for time when
Kipling comes with his vital touch
HIS passionate interest In living, the
harm Is not great. Poe may have
been oyer-valued by some Of his eager
French and German disciples, but
after oil deductions are made, their
judgment was nearer the mark than
ours has been, and II was nearer the
mark because their conception Of lit
erature was more inclusive and ade
quate.-Hamilton w. MabIe.

Man Has Much to Learn.

Man thinks he is pretty smart fel-

somewhat Of bump to his pride when
he considers how long 1t took him to

For It Is really only few things
that man yet knows compared to the
things that surely he is destined yet to
know. 1t is true that he has invaded
both the kingdoms Of the fishes and

YALE CONFIDENT
OF WINNING GAME

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. IA
With Yale and Harvard both sched.
uled to romp over the chalk lines in
the bowl today for their final signal
and punting practice in preparation
for their meeting tomorrow, the sea-
son of both elevens reached it's eli
max.
Victory for the Tigers tomorrow
will crown their battred season with
glory, for they achieved high round
in their ladder of football fame by
tieing Harvard last Saturday, and
their two preliminary defeats will
not count as blots in their own esti-
nation of the season.
For Yale, victory will bring the
team to the Harvard Stadium next
Saturday hopeful of attaining it's
ideal, which Is to defeat both Har-
ward and Princeton.
Yale, when the teams last met,
wrested victory from seemingly GER
tan defeat by scoring a to win.
The last Tiger victory occurred in
1911, when Sam White, who had
beaten Harvard the, week before,
seized fumbled ball and ran the
length of the field for a touchdown,
Princeton winning, to g.
Yale hopes of victory over both
Princeton and Harvard are high and
the Eli hackers today insisted that
their team would prevent the Tigers
from scoring. Yale men steadfastly
wagered large sums on Victory at
to 1, and bet even that Princeton
would not score.
The game will create a new record
in Yale-Princeton attendance. Fully
81 900 persons will see the match.
When Yale played in Princeton in
1915, the Palmer Stadium, which seats
some $4,000 people, was not filled, and
when the Tigers last appeared here,
in 1915-their only appearance in the
local bowl-there were some 5000 va
cant seats.
