it went into the printed report of the

When the entire public is put at

the most salutary instances of the
restoration of public confidence in
the power of the community to re-
store essential law and order are
afforded in American history by
the utilization of the Spirit of the

of this spirit invites constructive

make no further suggestion at the

Nearly $1,OO0,OO0,O0 in
N. Y. City Savings Banks

Apparently this Thrift campaign has
not done New York savings banks
any harm, Judging from what friend
Holland said in his daily letter in the
Journal of Commerce last Wednesday,;
Reports from the larger savings
banks in New York City showed
an increase in deposits Of 500, ,000,-
coo Dreaming during the year l920).
"On the last day Of December
these savings banks Of New York
City held little under 81 900 900 900
Zone billion dollars) Of deposits"
(This represents an average of
about $l60 for every man, woman
and child living in Greater New
York;
I'm December the deposits ex-
ceeded those made in the same month
in 1919 by $2,2OO,OOO.
These figures tend 10 confirm
the impression which began TO pre-
vail in the early Autumn of last
year that the spirit of thrift and the
practice of wise economy we're char
acterizing the wage earners of New
York. They also show that in spite
of reports OF prevailing industrial
and business depression the wage
earners of the State were on the
whole well employed. The common
opinion seems to be that these
gains in deposits must be regarded
as among the encouraging symptoms
of return TO financial, industrial
and commercial strength"

PASSING CRIMINALS ON.

Once in while there is necessity of pass ing federal law and we would suggest that one be passed making it impossible for any judge to give criminal what is called "a floater" It is a great habit nowadays to pass on the petty criminal to some other community and let him poster it, rather than decide that he is either guilty or innocent and apply the penalty pre- scribed by law. When one community is rid of that element, some other community must take up the task again. It should be criminal offense to make an offender leave town in given length of time, when it has been found he has violated the law. It may be the cheapest way" according to the local view but it is the most ex pensive way in the long run, for we get the same class of petty offenders right back from some other locality. Either the man or woman is right or wrong. The judge has a right to decide according to the evidence but he has no right to waive the law any more than the average citi- zen has that right. We are not pointing this out as local condition, for it is general over the country and most rotten system. If laws are a mere plaything in the hands of few, then this system of getting rid of undesirables is right and proper-shove them off onto some other community where they are unknown and will be able to duplicate their past criminal per formances. The only excuse for the practice is "all other places are doing it."

WHAT BANKS DO FOR THE COMMUNITY.

Never were banks doing greater service to the community than during this era of lawless- ness when robberies of all kinds are prevalent
 The less money person carries with him or keeps in his house, the better Petty stealing, burglary and robbery are among the most des- picable crimes and are usually committed, not by people who are hard up, in the sense of being out of employment or funds, but by professional crooks who prey off the industry of others.
 Altogether too much public sympathy is wasted on this class of criminals.
 Banks are doing more than any other in- dustry to run these lawbreakers to earth, and at the same time offer facilities for protecting sav- ings and valuabes from pillage.
 Modern business could not be transacted without the checking account made possible by the modern bank. Without banking facilities every business firm and every home, in days like these would have to have armed guards to pro- tect life and property.

CONSISTENT INCONSISTENCY.

There is one thing you will always note about a democratic newspaper-it is ever consistently inconsistent. Their editorial columns can never be made to jibe with their news columns. They tell with unceasing iteration of the country go- ing to the bow-wows in their editorial columns and then in justice to their local people will tell you that there is rising barometer in the gen. eral business of the community and that better conditions predominate But, editorially, the hull blamed country is all shot to -er, shoe strings because the republican administration has not fixed up all the troubles the democrats mixed in the past eight years, during their some seven months incumbency. They tangled the yarn for eight years and want the whole world of it untanged and strengthened out immediately. The thinking people of the country know just how bad we got in with a single track mind, and know that it is going to take the best brains of the country to get us out of the tangle and they are going to be pleased if it can be done in the next four years. In any event the people gener- ally are not going to trust the democratic party until the republicans get the nation back on a sound footing again. After that, many may for get what the democratic party got the country into, and vote for another riot of democracy.

ROOM FOR ONLY ONE FLAG.

We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which sym bolizes all war against liberty and civilization just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile. We have room for but one language here and that is the English language, for we intend to see that the crucible turns our people out as Americans of American nationality and not as dwellers in a polyglot boarding house; and we have room for but one soul loyalty, and that is loyalty to the American people-Theodore Roosevelt.

BUSINESS INSTEAD OF POLITICS.

All over the country, as new budgets of pub lie expenditures are being planned for school districts, city, county or state government, an insistent demand is arising for lowering of tax levies
 The agitation is not to reduce the efficiency or service to the people, but to cut out nefiiciency, waste, duplication of offices useless commissions and extra help, which have been the chief cause of adding the disproportonate burden of over head to government in comparison to the growth in wealth and population of the average com munity.

If there is one thing more than another which will bring the newspapers of the country back to normal, it will be killing off the "propa- ganda nut" and the press agency stuff There was a time when stuff was sent out detailing what had actually happened. Now it is stuff that public officials hope the people will believe. Careless papers print it and the general public is bewidered with things they thought had actual ly happened when the publicity agent had only very delicately intimated with the purpose of creating the impression of fact, all of which may be directly the reverse. It is not fair to print such stuff readers have right to believe in the publication they pay for. Edtorially, the paper has right to color things to suit itself, but it is poor idea to lie and misrepresent even in the editorial column.

Arizona lost brilliant mind and one of her warmest friends in the death of Aaron Powers, editor of the Yavapai Magazine, published at Prescott He fought brave fight against the great white plague and there never was an hour of his time wasted in self-pity or detailing his sufferings.

The people really demand editorial leadership in all public affairs as much as an army demands generals and well thought out plan of cam paign.

FACTS ARE FACTS.

Tt may seem at first glance hard and cruel doctrine that the government cannot take from the people the burdens and responsibilities of existence But under our system the people are the government whatever it has they supply.

Some peculiar how our democratic friends bounce on Senator Penrose at every opportunity and endeavor to hold him up as the great Poo Bah of the republican party.

Il You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
1t is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it,.
A prominent druggist says take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation 1 have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has SO large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DIR.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

tiny cushion lay the Blue Moon

At last came the sheriff's nudge.
The Pearlhunter quietly passed his re-

a sound in the act louder than the
drawing of a breath, but somehow ii
must have reached the man by the
horse. There came a change over his
face-a change so slight as to be as
good as imperceptible; to be felt
rather than seen. Had he so much as
glanced toward the pocket back of the
hay, the Pearlhunter would have acssd
on the instant. But he didn't glance
that way. Very leisurely he closed the
box, put it in his vest pocket and
looked down to see If the horse had
finished his supper.
The Pearlhunter was In the act of

totally without a warning sound with
out the slightest preliminary motion,
there came shot from behind the
horse that dashed the candle out. The
shot was followed by scufile of feet.
The Pearlhunter leaped the hay and
charged through the dense dark
straight at the horse. 1t wasn't there.
From the passage came the clatter of
hoofs.
Followed by the stumbling sheriff,
he CROPPED his way to the mouth of the
