Most Popular War Cry.

The most popular war cry is "Hur-
rah!" an exclamation of indefinite
origin. 1t is found in various forms in
Swedish and Danish (hurra) German
(hurrah), French (houra), Russian
(ura). Some connect it with such
words as hurry" "whirl;;" the smeanr
ing would then be "haste," to encour-
age speed or onset in battle. The
Russian soldiers adopted "hurrah" in
the War of Liberation (1812-13), and
since then it has become fayorite
battle cry all over Europe. 1t seems,
however, that the word is pure Sla-
vonian, for it is commonly heard from
the coast of Dalmatia to Behring strait,
where any of the Slavic population
within the limits are called on to give
proof of courage and valor.

savfngs-we are, as has been said,
merely adding to imitation, raising the
cost of living and making the poor pay
for the war, even though they be
not nominally taxed. Paper money
has been well called a forced loan,"
and deposit imitation amounts to the
same thing.
We have all become, against our
will, spectators in gold, and. al
though in every gamble some one is
bound to win, the net effect, as in all
gambling, is distinct loss to the COM
munity.
An example or two will help us
understand the injustice. Consider a
servant girl who put 500 in the saw
ings bank in 1896. Today, If she has
allowed it to accumulate at 31a per
cent interest, she has 5000. But when
she tries to spend her 5000 she finds
that everything costs double what 1T
did in 1896.
1t is very cold comfort to the bond
holder, the savings bank depositor,
the salaried man, the wage Garner
and the other losers to assure them
that the average man has not lost;
that some classes have gained at the
expense of his class.
1t will do no good, of course, to
rail at the lucky winners in the lot
terry. The fault is not theirs.-Profes-
sor Irving Fisher.

Wage Garner Becoming More and

A new labor problem has come into

these evils and there is every prospect
that it will intensity them very much
more.

of the composition and functions of
the electoral college of the United
States: On presidential election day,
which occurs on the Tuesday after the

vice president, the qualified voters of
each state vote for as many electors
as the state has senators and repre-

thus chosen constitute the electoral col
lege. These electors meet in their re-

Child WAGE Earner EVIL.

Volume VII Of the federal report on
women and child wage earners, pub
lished in 1910, says that of 605 chill
dren studied who left school before
their sixteenth year to go to work their
earnings were necessary to their fam
lilies in only 29.3 per cent of the cases.
Recent figures of the vocational guild
ance bureau of the Chicago public
schools shows that out of more than
5000 children who left school between
their fourteenth and sixteenth years to
go to work only 80 per cent were
forced by poverty to do so. And out of
the 203 street trade cases investigated
for family need the Juvenile Protective
association found only "a per cent
which positively needed the child's
earnings.

and made a will to this effect but
that another daughter. Mrs. Quail,
hearing of the affair. induced her
mother to deed the Topeka property
to her, on the ground that she had

on the property and that by reason of
this the bank claims an interest in it
She does not know the nature of the
