CONFIRMATION COMMISSIONERS.

It. has become the duty of Governor Lake during his term of office to name at least two members of the workmen's compensation commission. The position is an important one and there ns+e been numerous applications for the places, made tn some instances under the impression that politics as we'll as ability should be the guide in the choice Of such commissioners while in others on the ground that if a change was to he made they desired to be considered among the rest, .L-
 Governor Lake has, however, taken the cornmendable stand that the com- mission ought to be kept as free as pos sfble from politics, that it's members should be chosen with the same regard for ability and lHe importance of the position as, are juuges and it is to his credit that he has adhered to the pol icy of naming commission members as is followed cot1cerning judges by reap pointing those who have demonstrated their efficiency regardless of what theil political affiliations may be-. Instead oi making it a political office he has given rigid support to the idea of placing | On a judicial basis and acted accord, ingly.
 The latest instance of this cftaractci ttas in the reappointnent of Edward T Buckingham of Bridgeport as the mem Der of the commission from the fourts congressional district. <. He. was an orig final member of the commission, named when the compensation law went int operation and it is significant that botl of his reappointments have. come iron republican governors. Whatever eff forts have been made to have the gov ernors make political football of sue commtssionersaips have utterly failei - and tn the long run it means that tn z best interests of the state, rather thal political expediency, are being served.
 What G6vernor Lake has dotie in ia reappointment of Commissioner Buck ingham is simply | repetition of wha he did a year ago in the case of Com missioner Donohue of this city, repre- senting the second congressional dis trict.

DoAN1NG 10 GERMANY.

When the response is made to Ger: many, by J. P. Morgan, following an appeal for a direct loan, that nothing of the kind could be thought of until a decision had been rkached conGefning reparations, it was another bit of evi- dehce that there was not willingness on the part of American bankers to ste into situation that would serve to keep the allied nations from holding firmly together.
 ; When anything is done in the way of making a loan to Germany, it is to te realized that 1t must De made through private sources. There are no public funds in this country for such pur. pose. Whatever American loans that may be arranged, Sit is plain that Ii must be accomplished through the bank CTS and the bankers are not going. to ttirt money over to GerTnan1X untii they are fully satisfed. as to the security That security is bound to De of a de. cidedly uncertain character until it has been determined what is. going to be done relative to reparatioIis
 Thus when Mir. Morgan let it be tn, u6ISCOOu lI1ol Y Ado IuSS4CoS u ,OAPcCi that there could be. a loan befote tic reparation tangle was sta ghtened ou it. was simply serving notice on Get many that the time was not ripe fol American bankers undertaking to pro vide such a loan as # desires. There k no disposition, to upset any understand ing concerhing separations, That is { matter on which the allied nations should come to as early an agreemen as possible. There is still need r,r ,ra united front which was recognized dur ing the. war wheh the outlook was no as bright as it might have been.
 Just what part this country is goinl to play in regard to the European sttua tion is not definitely determined. Som revision, may have to be made of wha it is believed Germany can pay, eve. though the impression may stIn be hel that 1t is not making an honest effor
 to fulfill it's promises. Germany ism inspired to it's j. saI,5st efforts by th
 fact that it lost the war and is bein ! held accountable. Much rests with tn
 attitude Germany displays. however, q to how far the other counties may b
 willing to go in easing up on the de rnands.

A Little Talk on Thrift
E-A--- GCUUUHI


 People often imagine that economy means state of bondage, and that it re- strIcts them in the full enjoyment of nfe's advantages and blessings. On thek con trary economy and thrift open a direct road to- independence and liberty.
 Independence through thrift, would be a good motto to keep constantly in mind.
 Economy" wrote Dr. Samuel John soh, ''is the parent of integrity, of li5- erty and ease and the beauteous sister of temperance, of cheerfulness and health"
 The value and satisfaction of liberty and independence, so generally unrecog- rized in the bloom and vigor of youth, looms larger as the years advance and Te begin to crave q freedom from the servftude which always goes hand in land with poverty and dependence upon others
 The ways of extravaganza and waste, which appear so inviting at first, soon begin to narrow down and present the certifying prospect of penury.
 But it is possible to avoid this gloomy outlook in the afternoon of life. Systematic economy, and precautiot against waste and extraYagance, in the days of prosperity. will prevent this un' happy condition in fater years.
 It is not necessary that one should have had the advantage of a good educa, don or even possess greater opportuni ties than other persons in order u achieve this freedom. Waste, in fact, i sometimes the result of toe, much iniag mary independence among thosa who ar l fortuHate at the beginning of life. Grea ability to earn. and rapid advancemeni Sometimes destroy the true perception o 1 Happiness and success.
 Do not contemplate thrift as e sacrific of personal liberty. Its consistent an, regular practice provides the only va, one can attain genuine liberty and a, com t.ste fulfTlment of the ultimate object ! or life.-President of American Thrif i Society. s
