THRILLS THAT KILL

Nowadays, when we need thrills" observes the
Hannibal Post, 1--WE can go to the moves and get them
at trifling expense. Real thrillers, too-so natural
as almost to lift US out of our seats.
with so many chances Of getting ready made
excitement, why do such a large number Of people
insist upon having thrills at close range, out at the
railroad grade crossings?
"You cannot pick up a paper without seeing one
or more items about frghtful accidents to motorists
driving across the tracks.
Sometimes it is a lone driver who perishes. May
be the next account is about an entire family being
wiped out. Tragic stories they are, that shock US
in spite of their frequent repetition.
when We read about such things We can hardly
avoid the thought that the loss Of life in these &C
cdents is quite unnecessary.
"At the head of the list Of valuable things we
must place human life. Strange to say, thousands
of auto drivers seem to forget this and careiessly
place their own and other peoples lives in jeopardy
at railroad crossings. There is a way to be safe
only one way-tha Is to be thoughtful at a place of
known danger. The thrills at the crossing are deadly
dangerous. Why not get them at the movies, where
you pay with money-not with your lfe7"

EASTSER MORN.

dedicated to Miss Helen AIlen).
We lay our tributes at Thy feet,
Dear Christ, who came to save:
The heavy Cross for US, He bore
Even down into the grave,
With love so great
Not even death
Could hold Thee from Thine own.
Hail, Easter-morn
The bars are down, the chains are riven,
Glad anthems sing, our Christ has risen.
These are our tributes, Lord, we bring,
Such little things to do,
To place some wanderer on his feet,
And help him on anew
With hope and strength
And courage true.
With joyous hearts we sing
Hail, Easter-morn.
Our little tasks, day after day,
We fEd them, all along Iife's wav.
No deed of love too small for Thee,
When done in His dear name;
No weary head is bowed so low
But Thy pity shines the same.
And what are we
Who dare to judge
The very least of Thine?
Hail, Eastern-morn,
Sing, happy ones, free and forgiven,
For He has come, our Christ is risen.

PAR AND O PAR.

There is decidedly a better tone and appearance TO
things financial when four and a half per cent Liberty
bonds sell on the New York market at par, and one
recorded transaction amounts to a million COLLARS
This is the highest price these bonds have reached.
The lowest point was reached in 1920, when they sold
at eighty-two.
The three and . half per cent issue sold on the same
market slightly above par for the first time and all
other Liberty issues came within a few points of face
value.
It is respectfully suggested that the promise OF the
president and the Republican party that these securi-
ties Of the government would be brought to par has
been kept. It simply required a restoration Of the
faith of the people in their government and a business
administration Of the peoples affairs to do the trick.

coMMoprrrEs AND SERVICES.

The trade or business of the country consists Of
an exchange of services among the people, and it fol-
lows that. if checks or tickets representing all tran
sactions could be brought together they would offset
and settle themselves. This is virtually the service
which currency is intended to render, and all econo-
mists in discussing the subject include private checks
as practically part of the currency of. the coun-
Try. They render the same kind Of service as the
official currency.
The volume of currency, therefore. should not be
a fixed amount, authorized in a round sum like our
greenbacks, but such amounts as are needed from
day to day. The currency is not to be regarded as
capital, but as an agency effecting transfers and
making settlements. The difference is fundamental,
The commodities or property being exchanged are
capital. and labor is TO be classed in the same cate
CORY: they are real values over against real values.
The currency is nos the motive power in business. 1t
is what each person has to sell that constitutes his
real purchasing power and causes his demand for the
products or services Of others A wheat crop in Kan
sas creates a demand for other goods from other parts
of the country. The southern states grow cotton as
their chief product and with it obtain the products
of other states and other countries.
The service Of currency has been compared to the
service of railroad cars. The latter are a means of
transportation, of great commodities, but, after all,
