half past five. In daylight
hours you'll strive and strain,
and in the night you'll calmly
snooze; the early bird.r they
would explain. Nrakes IN the
worm that siuggards lose"
Through all the younger years
of mine, the course prescribed
was fairly run, and was sound

am growing old. my sorrel

WHERE SAVINGS GO,

PostofI'ce Department reports re,e-
tive to the decline In postal savings
deposits have occasioned some mis-
givings among advocates of thrift. IL
wac said In recent reports from Wash
ington that Rochester was one of the
few cities OF the United States TO
show an appreciable gain In the
amount of postal savings certificates
sold, despite strenuous thrift cam
paigns in other cities.
Light is thrown on the question
however. in a recent dispatch from
Milwaukee. Investigations by the
postofiice authorities to determine the
cause of the great falling on I'm postal
savings deposits In that city have re-
vealed the fact that the money for
merly placed In Uncle Sans Neeping
is now going into home building
Hundreds Of depositors who had been
saving their money In the govern.
ment's banking system, are this wear
financing the erection OF houses, mos,
OF which are to be the homes OF the
builders.
1t was to promote thrift OF Just this
sort that the postal savings system
was established. Withdrawal of saw.
ings from the postal system may have
the effect temporarily Of lowering tn.
total deposits OF city from theh
former nigh level. But II the funds ar,
invested in homes for tho owners q

ton. A home-owner always Is nor,
valuable citizen than a renter. par

home by years of economy and thrift,
A system of saving which promote
that sort OF home building is wei
worth while.-Rochester Herald

AMERICAN LAW FACTORIES.

The statisticians OF Congress inform
US that 1871 bills We're introduced in
the session just adjourned, and that
one in thirteen was enacted. Many
instances show that the proportion OF
bills TO laws is excessive. The plague
of legislation is increasing. When 1t
is considered that forty-eight State
Legislatures rival Congress in in
dustry, the flood of laws is appalling
In vain do jurists warn the legisla-
tors that they are deflling the fount
of the common law and summon
lawyers to study the statute book.
No lawyer is equal TO the task. Labor
thinks there are too many lawyers In
Congress; capital thinks there are too
many union-card Congressman; bust
ness thinks there are too few business
representatives. President Harding
thinks there is too much group gov
eminent.
There Is little responsibility for
American legislation. Any. one can
introduce a bill with hardly more
Formally than posting a letter. The
Senate has been informed that 1t costs
81 to introduce a private bill, and
many of them are introduced again
and again. It cost ss60s5 for each
bill passed at the 1921 session OF the
/ New York Legislature. They do these
things better In England. There Is a
fee of SIS merely to- offer a private
/ bill for examination, and $25 more To
hand it to the Clerk Of the House to
be started on its road. At each of four
stages of legislation It costs SIS &c
proceed. Committee hearings cost $50
a day to the proposer OF the legisla.
ton, and when the bill calls for votes
of money the charges are even more
cautionary There is pretty sure Il
be merit in bills offered under sucl
discouragements of private expense.
Where the flood is so excessive much
could be done TO discourage It by re-
1 curing private claims. pensions ant
similar proposals 20 be grouped in
committee bill and not be INTRODUCED
simultaneously by irresponsible privat,
members. That is particularly neces
sary under our form of government
where there is only dim and distan
party responsibility, even for enacte'
bills, and none for bills merely offered
Two results would be accomplished
It We're required that all bills shoul
be officially drafted and fee wer
charged for the service. That wa
would insure correctness of form an

JUST FOLKS

Copyright 1929 by Edgar A Guest


The postman whistled down the street
And seemed to walk on lighter feet, =
And as he stepped inside her gate
He knew that day he carried JOY
He HAD the letter from her boy.
Day after day he'd kept his pace
And seen her careworn, gentle face
She watched for him to come and took
The papers with an anxious look,
But disappointment followed hope
She missed the one glad envelope.
He stopped to chat with her awhile
And saw the sadness Of her smile,
He fancied he could hear her sigh
The morning that he travelled by;
He knew that when tomorrow came
She would be waiting Just the same.
The boy who was 20 far away
Could never hear her gently say:
We'll, have you broughtl good news
to me?"
Her eager face he could not see,
Or note the lines Of anxious care
AS every day she waited there.
But when he wrote, On lighter feet
The happy postman walked the street
We'll, here 1t Is, at last" he'd shout
ITO end the worry an dthe doubt"
The robin on, the maple limb
Began to sing: She's heard from
him."
Her eyes with Joy began to glow,
The neighbors round her seemed {,

That with the postman at the door
