under law the prosecution must prove intent to deaud

insufficient accounts Although this course is followed the
fraudulent check artists continue to the loss of many
thousands of dollars yearly to local business establishments

There are only four persons of the name OF

such distinction that they are set down in Who's

bankers. One OF them IL Andrew w. Mellon. who
recently became Secretary OF Treasury and NOV
ed to Washington. Two others are his brothers
and one is his son.
The fact that these four what they
are is probably due to a father having thought in
their behalf.
Away back in those days which followed the
civil the original Mellon. grown to promi

judicial bench OF Pittsburgh. He had accumu-
lated wealth and he saw his Ave sons growing
up around him. He opened a bank and gave one
NTH OF the stock to each In lieu of salary.
That Institution has developed into OF the
strongest in all the nation and the MELONS rank
close to the Rockefeiiers In wealth.

1t is strange, he told me, how a frenzy Of in

Death Penalty
In Washington
TOUR human beings, one of them a

TOUR human beings, one of them a
youth of eighteen years, are
facing the prospect of being
hanged by the agents of the District
of Columbia, a community which
boasts proudly that it is civilized.
Sooner or later, the residents Of
this city will have a voice in the laws
that govern, protect and punish
them. Until then their only recourse
is to petition those in authority, pro-
testing against injustices and in
capabilities.
The Anthony League, an organiza-
ton of excellent public-spirited
women, has voiced such a protest to
President Harding against the death
penalty in the Capital of the world s
greatest nation. Read it:
Anthony League Of the
District of Columbia.
We, =, residents Of Washington,
believing that:
THE death penalty as a punishment
for crime is barbaric custom of print
tive man, based on the desire for revenge
and retaliation that is entirely contrary
to the principles of Christianity and has
been obnoxious to all Christians since the
execution of Christ himself;
2-The death penalty does not deter
crime, but rather causes human life to he
held cheaply by sanctioning legalized
murder;
3--The death penalty hinders conviction
because of the reluctance Of the average
juryman to be party to the murder Of
another man, even though the act is spon-
sored by the State;
4-The death penalty is an rrevocahle
decree which has often resulted in the
execution of innocent persons convicted of
crime upon circumstantial evidence;
Sin the opinion Of all organizations
and individuals working for a more sci
entifc, more humane, and more effectual
method Of handling crime and criminals
the death penalty is not only barbaric
but an unnecessary and criminal waste
Of human life, which should be replaced
by q system imposing restitution rather
than execution,
do earnestly petition and urge that the
President Of the United States commute

New York Central railroad, tes-
= tilted before the Senate commit
tee that during Government opera
ton the railroads were not properly
maintained.
No railroad executive has ever ex-
planned what the railroads did with
the money charged to maintenance
during the war.
Every railroad was managed by a
practical, professional railroad ex-
ecutive. No railroad was in charge
of Government or political official.
The Regional Director" appointed
by the Government were the railroad
executives of highest ability that
had controlled the largest systems
before the war.
Mr.. Smith was the regional direc-
tor for New York City, and as such
had supervision over his own rail
road, the New York Central. He is
said to have few, if any, equals
among operating officials.
Then how did it happen that in
the year before the war, under
private management, the New York
Central railroad, earning $216,267,-
517, spent only $50 per cent of its
earnings on upkeep, while last year,
earning $34s,526,OS5, it spent 43.4
per cent on upkeep-nearly one hun
dred million dollars MORE for up
keep in 1920 than in the last year of
private operation' What did it do
with the money!
When it was paying all its own
bills it spent fifty-fve millions in the
year 1917 for upkeep. When the
Government was paying most of the
bills in 1920 the road spent one hun
dred and ffty-one millions on up
keep. In both years the road was
managed by very practical, profess
sional railroad men.
Like all other high railroad execu-
tives, President Smith now attributes
most of the diseases in railroad man.
tagement to organized labor-to the
national union rules which arbi-
trarily create many new classified
tons of labor, employing two million
| men to do what eighteen hundred
thousand men formerly did.

IT'S ALL TOO TRUE,

Having promised to explain my
theory Of the Consanguinity Of Elias
ITCHY, here goes:
First, II is a self-evident fact that
consanguinity is essential to the elias
ITCHY theory because the science Of
pyramidalism failed to clarity the
synthetic philosophy OF Senior To
basco thus showing that the solar
plexus is not the cause OF sun spots
after exposure to the lunar rays until
sets in.
Second. the heterogeneousness Of
consanguinity Is conclusive, 30 that a
/ erneneutical demonstration of elias
ITCHY instead OF neutralizing mental
proclivities has stimulating effect
upon the hypoglossal nerve.

Stars and Stripes

When one attempts to weigh another in
the balance Of prejudice it finds the weigher
wanting in charity.
Constant complaining is an admission of
our failure to remedy matters, or Of our
impotence with that which cannot be
remedied.
The fellow with lot of crust is usually
lemon underneath.
When small minds attempt the heights
OF vigilance they attain but the levels of
suspicion.
