REALLY OF ENGLISH ORIGIN
Punishment by Tarrino and Feather
ing First ,nStitutsd BY King Rich
ard Many Centuries Ago.

Throughout the English-speaking
world there seems to be a widespread
impression that the punishment OF tar
and feathers Is something peculiarly
American and that the practice orig
mated with and il confined to mobs in
the wilder or more remote sections OF
the United States. But the practice
did not begin In America and Is. In
fact, English In origin.
The first known use OF tar n
feathers was in the British navy $50
years ago. 1t Is on record that In
1889 Richard OF the Lion Heart. when
about to start on the Third crusade,
ordered that such Of his sailors as
were found guilty of theft should be
covered with boiling pitch and
feathers or down be then strewn upon
them.
This ancient employment Of boiling
pitch of course meant death, while
the modern application of pitch heat
ed only enough to run and smear Is
not necessarily fatal. The modern
American practice is. therefore, a
more mercifui adaptation Of an an
Gent British substitute for the usual
hanging of a thief.

All sheuId Toll.

Ideal social progress requires the
productive activity Of every human
capable of adding to the general total.
This is Utopian. 1t ought not to be
so much Of a dream, but 1t will be
what it is so long as human nature
remains what 1t is. Men differ so
much. Some acquire laziness and
some are born lazy. But the results
are the same. You ven have aristO-
cratic loaferA who pull all sorts Of
hereditary stuff In make-believe at
tempts at superiority. They would
have you subsidize them. and guaran-
tee their future against want and
work. It's all bOsh. They have no
claim upon humanity other than a
right to an opportunity to make good
in the world. Instead Of an easy time
they need the prod Of necessity. The
lazy few. be they poor or rich, are
the drones Of society.-Exchange.

PEOPLE CONTINUING
TO BUY WAR STAMPS

With more than a million organ
lied workers on strike throughout
the country. and with prices higher
than they have been since the Civil
War, the Treasury Department re-
ports hat the sale of Thrift and Wal
Savings stamps and treasury savings
certificates for the month of October
exceeded the receipts from such sales
for September by 81. 200 900, and that
the October total was greater than
the amount sold during any one
month since last April. According to
a telegram to Governor John u. Cal
kins of the San Francisco Federal
reserve bank from Washington, the
October sales of these War Savings
securities amounted to $~7.316,467.6 so.
While no figures were received
for the states of the Twelfth Federal
reserve district. Governor Calkins ex-
pressed confidence that the people of
the West had saved proportionately
to the rest Of the country.
Apparently the people have at last
realized that the only solution of the
h~igh-price situation is to work and
save" said Calkins. The news from
Washington is cheering. Only by
this stern method of sacrificing for
the time our desires for luxuries and
saving wealth and money to stimulate
production of necessities can we
bring prices back to normal. This is
a personal problem which it is the
duty Of every American nan and
woman to help solve. and the only
way to solve it is to save. Stability
of labor, stability of business, and
even stability of government rests
virtually upon the willingness of
every person in this country to work
and a Investment of savings in
government securities provides a
working channel. especially for the
man or woman of small means. and
moreover helps the government to
finance the debts contracted during
the war
