PERsHING'S REFUSAL.

General Pershing modestly refuses
to accept a Distinguished Service
Cross which Secretary Of War Weeks
would have presented TO him In the
name OF the Nation for extraordinary
heroism" In the Philippine Islands In
1913. General Pershing had previ-
ously declined the Medal of Honor
for the same deed. Tho citation on
which he would have received the

refusal TO accept the honor included

THRIFT AND SUCCESS.

Enthusiastic spokesman for thrift
may easily ascribe 1t TO possibilities 1t
does not possess. 1t would be diff
cult TO find single man of wealth who
could honestly claim that the bulk of
his fortune was acquired by the prac-
tice of thrift. No one can help being
impressed by the tables frequently
published showing the remarkable fe-
cundity of a few score OF dollars II
deposited for a considerable period at
compound interest, yet so rare are the
instances In which a person has ac-
quired a competency in this way that
they make news jtems worth tele-
graphing across the country.
Mr.. Depew's first 800. which as a
youth he deposited in savings bank
against some future emergency. and
has not withdrawn 10 this day. has
recently mAde such a news story.
That 500 deposit Is worth today, with
accumulated interest, something over
5000. In the meantime, however Mr..
Depew has earned other money, in
vested IL in railroads, and has enjoyed
such returns that he has had no oc-
ca sion TO draw upon the fruits OF his
early thrift.
But II thrift is not the way fortunes
/ are built Il remains n singular fact
that the men who succeed in becom-
/ ing rich are almost invariably thrifty
This association OF CHARACTERISTICS
rather than the prospect OF a large
direct return, is the thing that should
most forcefuuy challenge the attention
II the average person of ambition. Il
is from something like this standpoint
THAT the annual Thrift Week campaign
represented in Decatur by the y. NJ

Neither the senate nor the commit.

effort in this matter, for when mem-
Der of the senate. representing one OF
the great American states, makes
such charges as Watson did attention
must be given them out OF respect to
public opinion and in. justice TO the
victims Of accusation.
AS the inquiry has proceeded. these
charges have steadily dwindied. Some
of the worst were supported by in
mates of insane asylums. though fatty
contradicted under oath by men OF
sanity and character. At the present
stage the inquiry has got down to
charges of burying men executed for
crimes without removing the cap and
rope, or their burial alongside other
soldiers. Asking a witness II white
men and colored were buried in the
same part OF the cemetery, Watson
WAS told they were-that all were
| soldiers"
! This is the sort Of rot Watson is
compelling some OF the ablest sena-
tors TO take up their time with, listen
/ ing by the hour to blatherskite accuse
tions and demagogic rant which would
hardly be tolerated in a dive barroop
The whole body Of charges is an in

gency, doubtless mistakes were made
Our men were not gods. But an,

was so ready TO credit on any evidenc,

STATE SUPERVISORY FUNCTIONS

From all Nebraska come Indications
Of restiveness under the many recent
extensions Of government functions.
There are protests against the inspec-
tors who take fees for checking I'D
veterinarians who make farmers test
business mems scales, against the
employment Of county agents to look
after the special interests Of the
farmers
During the past 20 years there has
been very marked increase In these
functions. Tho schools have vastly
extended their scope. Tho state has
taken on numerous new activities and
suporvisions. The counties have added
the county agent and extra road max
ing orga nizations. Most OF these sery-
ices were popular in the days OF easy
money. They are going TO be on the
defensive through the present period
when incomes have fallen below any
bearable proportion to taxes.
There are doubtless many remedi-
able wastes. There may be some serv-
ices that can be discontinued without
loss. There Is danger, however. Of an

THE SNOW SHOyELER.
By Edgar A. Guest.


In the good old days of the long ago
I'd shout with elee at the sight of

I'd bolt my porridge and hustle out
To the various neighbors round
about.
Then timidly tap on each door and
say:
DO you want me to shovel the snow

could shovel at snow drifts all day
long,
/ could toss il far and toss il wide
And bank 1t nicely on either side.
And heap it high by the old back fence
And all that l charged was fifteen
cents.
I'd shovel a path TO the garden gate,
And I'd make it wide and I'd make IL
straight,
I'd clear the walk and the porches
too,
AS we'll as ever q man could do,
And then If the job didn't take much
time,
I'd ask them only TO pay dime.
But the years are long since shovel

For the kindly folks that l used &c

Where the moneys lost and tn,

iThat the ponds In the Brandy
wine Park be swept every morning
and n good skating surface provided,
even II they have TO be occasionally
flooded In the evening TO get this re-
suit. 2--That a few electric lights be

and TINT a flrc be kept Burning on
