GET THE HABIT

Modern methods of banking are typ
zeal of Americans democratic way of
doing business. Rich and poor alike
keep their money in the same bank
and the dollar check drawn by the
girl clerk in department store on her
small account, is honored just as
quickly and with as little question as
a check drawn by John D. on his ac-
count.
A deposit in a bank is the basis
of credit for any man or woman. 1t
establishes a personal relation be-
tween the depositor and the bank,
which may be of value in many ways
to the depositor. If he will ask his
bankers advice before investing his
savings in numerous schemes which
are afloat today seeking to get his
money, he will in many instances be
saved severe losses.
The banking habit is a good one to
cultivate. 1t raises you in your own
estimation and sense and confidence
in your ability to do things.
A bank depositor and home owner
are not good material for the bolshe-
vik and socialist agitator and herein
lies Americans safety today.

EXTORTION LOWER DOWN

No one doubts that jobbers and re-
tailers, restaurants and hotels took
advantage of war conditions and ex-
.panded profits.
Prices doubled and an annual turn
over in the iobbing or retail trade
was made without a corresponding
doubling in the overhead.
Increased freight rates add little to
70 cost of commodities, but were used
to boost prices. An increase in rail
road freight rates is generally ac-
cepted by dealers as an excuse Tor
increasing the price of commodities
subject to the higher rates julius
Kruttschnitt of the Southern Pacific
system points out that the popular
immersion that the effect of higher
rates to living costs is grossly eX-
apgerated." He says, mo coin is
small enough to represent any of these
increases in cost, but if the dealer
should add one copper cent in each
case to the 1910 prices to reimburse
hin, for the increased cost of his COM
modify due to increased freight rates,
he would grossly overcharge the pur-
chaser in every case. He would make
hin, nav nearly double the proper
amount in the case of pair of shoes
and over six times the proper amount
in the case of a pound of ham or
bacon"
The statement makes an interest
ing contribution to the education
which consumers are nowadays re-
ceiving in the matter of profiteering'
Certainly railroads and big business
lave sins enough to answer for, but
Men the account is finally balanced

NATIONAL THRIFT CAMPAIGN

When the Savings Division of the
treasury department appointed DR.. J..
Stanley Brown of Joliet, Illinois, in
charge of thrift campaign in the
schools, organizations turnout the
country began to formulate indepen-
dent campaigns thru other channels.
In Chicago, a Do-Without club of
national scope has been formed to fur
Their the savings habit, which is fur
nishings free membership buttons and
pledges to those in any part of the
country who wish to join and save
money for some definite purpose, and
who send stamped addressed envel-
opes to headquarters, 634-635, 410 S.
Michigan Ave, Chicago, for return
literature. There are no membership
dues and no expense to members.
Mrs. Roy Dickey, former editor of
one of the national magazines, organ
lied the Do-Without club during the
war as part of her work in connection
with the Woman's Committee Council
of National Defense.
1--WE should not lose the spirit either
of saving or giving which the war en-
outraged" says Mrs. Dickey, "Dr. J.
Stanley Brown says that everybody
who Sufficiently desires can put
away some part of every income.
The Do Without club breaches syste-
matte saving for the future good of
the individual and considered use of
the pennies, dimes or dollars we ex-
pect to give to church, Sunday school,
home charities, or other worthy OBJ
iects. We believe the American pub
lie needs to learn to think about saw
ing and think about proper methods
of giving.

POLITICAL SENTIMENT is
TURNING FROM WILSON

President Wilson is receiving ad-
vices from his political embassy
which has been touring the west,
headed by national chairman Homer
S. Cummings, to the effect that all
is not we'll in many of the states of
the middle west. The national chair
man has made his report to the White
House and even pro-administration
spokesman have been unable to con-
ceal the fact that the report was of a
pessimistic character. Mr.. Cum
mings himself, altho he seeks to por-
tray that the country is overwhelm-
ingly with the president in favor of
the league covenant and peace treaty,
is unable to hide the fact that there
is deep dissatisfaction among the pub
lie. because the administration has
been devoting the last seven or eight
months to foreign affairs and has
been giving no attention to domestic
matters. He admits the public is
deeply dissatisfied over the high cost
of living.
Profound dissatisfaction with the
administration has been found to
exist in the states thru which Mr..
Cummings and his political commits
sioners have been travelling. Alto
gether Mr.. Cummings assessment of
public sentiment is not of such
character as to add to the joy of life
to the White House.

the plain everyday American may dis
cover that he is the victim less of
oppression higher up than of extor-
ton lower down and on his own level.
And the same can be said in regard
to rates of all public utilities. They
have had to meet greatly increased
operating expenses for labor and sup
ply. The slight increase in rates
which they have been granted is al
most negligible item in the in
creased cost of living. They are our
heaviest taxpayers and employers of
labor and it is the heighth of folly
for regulating bodies to refuse to
grant rates sufficient to meet present
day cost of operation.

ELEPHANT WINS FAVOR
AS WOMEN'S INSIGNIA

Quite the most popular fad Rhode
Island has had in long time is that
of wearing cleverly carved ivory ele-
plants swung from white or black
ribbons as neck ornaments. The ele-
phant also proclaims to the world in
general that the wearer is a member
of the Republican Women's Club. So
popular are these little G. o. P. ele-
plants that number of men are
using them as watch charms. How
ever, the idea has gained too great
popularity to be confined to Rhode
Island, which initiated it, and the
little ivory elephant bids fair to
achieve national favor.
