PAY YOUR DEBTS

Every progressive bank in the ma
ton is constantly urging the public to
get the habit of saving and paying off
its debts. Contrary to the opinion of
many, banker is not interested in
having a customer loaded down with
debts.
Owing debts, and being a borrower
at bank are two different things. A
banker extends credit to enable bus
mess to be carried on. In one way this
is a debt, but IT is a vastly different
debt, from the kind owed by man
who simply fails to meet his ob1iga-
tons for lack of systematic saving.
A bank must loan money to live but
it wants to loan to people who save.
The day of the Shylock is passed as
the nodern bank must live from pros
porous and not bankrupt commun-
tiles.
Geo. E. Roberts, Vice Pres. of Ma
! tionaI City Bank says: ..tThe banker
can render no better service to the
farmer than by advising him to use
| the proceeds of present high prices tt
pay off his debts. 1t is sigular fac
that people commonly go into debt il
good times and pay their debts under
pressure in bad times.

PREsLpEMT Isl WRONG.

NXI HAT does President Wilson, or the brewers or
~ any one else for that matter. hope to accomplish
by letting down the bars to beer and light wines during the
period between the first of July and the day early in next
January when the prohibition amendment to the Federal
constitution goes INTO efecta
In spite of the noise the beer and wine Interests have
been making, the country all for prohibition upon
the date fixed by the emergency act. To modify or
repeal that is certain to lead to no end of confusion
and uncertainty and 30 make it all the harder to make the
prohibition amendment effective when next January comes
That is of the things the booze people have been
counting upon AS business proposition the six months
grace does not amount anything but they feel sure
that if they can force one break in the plans of the dry
forces they will be able to get the public mind in such
that downright brazen evasion of the new mandate
of the constitution will be possible.
MIR. Wilson has never been very much of a
prohibi6onst taking the word in its political sense
It Is possible that he does not agree that the pro-
hibtion amendment to the constitution is wise There
are many thoroughly conscientious men who do not because
it gratis piece of police law upon what they feel ought
to be nothing more than carefully thought out presenta-
ton Of principles But it ought to be clear to one who
is as consistent reasoner as Mr. Wilson undoubtedly is
that the kind of temponzg which he proposes congress
will only make the matter worse in every way.
Doubtless the wine and beer people will make ire
mendous assault upon congress. Every possible Of
pressure viii be brought to bear upon the body to get it
to accept the suggestion which the President has made
and IN all candor it might well be conceded that right
now the chances are IN favor of the VETS.
However, if congress wants to do the country signal
service It will stand out against Wilson. against the wine

TARIFF LEGISLATION.

W/HEN President Wilson suggests that the ,arif law.
w be provided with teeth so that they may be used
to protect American industry against foreign attack it
would seem the surface that there at least one point
in which Democratic president and Republican major
y IN congress get together But the hope that this
might be true probably is destined to wither up and die
Mr. Wilson makes plain his message that he does not
ask for fundamental changes IN existing law and the lead
ers IN congress of the Republican party know that without
sweeping changes IN the principle behind the tariff act there
can be no effective protection of American industry.
Because the law making branch of the government was
IN the control Of small party of Democratic free traders
just completely unprepared for peace a. we were
unprepared for We are the only large nation in
the world that that vulnerable position and that stu
atom going to make the task Of Republican leaders more
than ordinarily difficult during the life of the present con-
gess What they would like to do would be to enact
complete tariff bill embodyng the fiscal theories of
the Republican party, but there is possibility that the
situation will be urgent the peace is signed
that there will not be time for that.
If the country is threatened with such an invasion Of
foreign wares will endanser the industries that have
been built up during the the situation should be faced
courageously Instead of losing time in an effort to be
consistent emergency tariff legislation should be passed for
the protection of the threatened industries and the matter
of putting through regular tariff act be taken up later
The FIRST care now should be to run up some sort Of
defenses against the trade assault which the countries of
Europe including those of the old Central empires have
been preparing for the past years or more In doing
that the majority in congress will have the hearty support
of the public Except in college class and limited
part of the cotton states there is little popular opposition
these days to what has be known the American
tariff SYSTEM the system introduced by the Republican
party and under which the country has experienced prac-
dcally all the prosperity it ever enjoyed.
