A DESERVED VICTORY.
Boston Transcript. fRenA

In explaining the Democratic vic
tory of Nov. z and highly approving
it, the Republican Boston Transcript
editorially says, among other things :
1.-The best part ABOUT the wiggine
which the people have given at the
polls in many parts Of thh country
to the party in power is that the
wigging was well deserved. The
party in power has neglected its on
portunity, paltcred in the face of
grave and pressing problems. played
fast and loose with the veterans of
the Great War, goose-stepped before
organized bands of noisy minorities,
honeyfugled the pacifists, enacted n
tafih bill that, as we have repeated
ly said, is n disgrace to the Repub-
lican party and menace to the Ma
tion,' insulted the intelligence and
iniiamcd the passion of the elector-
ate In inany parts of the country by
appointments to office that are indie
fensiblc OH any score-for example
E. Mont Reilly rs governor of Porto
Rico and whole tribe of political
swindlers south of the Mason-Dixon
line.
Instead of leadership in the lower
house of Congress the Republicans
have set up an oligarcy consisting of
Mondell of Wyoming, Madden of ILL
nois, Kelley of Michigan, and An
thony Of Kansas--thc worst of the
lot. Instead of resisting the impu-
dent and insolent manner i'll which
this oligarcy has invaded the const,.
tutlonal premises of the Executive
the Executive has in too MANY in
stances, salaamed before the inyad-
crs. In the place of one man govern
mcnt' ut the executive end of the
Avenue, the party in power has giy-
en- the country u taste of misgovern-
ment at both ends by congressional
oigarcy as unfit to administer AS it
was to legislatc."

WHY THE DEMOCRATIC VIC.

washington. Dec. 6.-The size of

new Mexico and Tennessee. Twenty.
SIX states of the Union now have
democratic governors. a majority of
two in all of the states.
The claim of the Republicans that

working Mt Bluefield last week. He
is taking treatment at the hospital
at Bluelield. Let all who will lend n

On account of the rainy weather
there were not many people at tho

ers Club of the Falls Mills church
but the sum of s2s.4O was raised for
the benefit of the new church.
At Sunday school last Sunday it
was decided to have IL Christmas tree
ut the Union church on Friday night
before Christmas. There will be n
short program gotten up by the
school in connection with the tree.
Rev. Motley. the Christian minis
ter from Pocahontas, preached an ex-
cellent sermon here last Sunday
night. We learn, with regret, that he
is going to nave away shortly.
The Community League of Falls
Mills will meet at the church next
Saturday night, December 10th at
7:30 p. m. After the usual order of
business, and perhaps few talkA
from local members, we hope to or
ganize some definite work for each
committee, to be carried out in the
meetings during the remainder of
the school year. Then the League well
have pies, doughnuts. ETC., to sell t.
make enough money to finish the
walks at the Falls Mills school house.
Let eerybody remember this date and

things to eat.

HERBERT HOOVER.
(Thc Delineator.)

In vague way most of US here, in

and may not be measured in our gen.

There are dozen or so of books
big books-in Helbcrt Hoover's
home in Washington. The bindings
are masterpieces of rare workman

lone example to match them; tooling
on illuminated leather, carving in
bronze and silver. The history of a
people is cut in silver OH the corner
of one book; the hope of that people
Ia written within.
But the eye of man may not read
The whole story that lies between
these priceless covers. On the first
page there is always an inscription
in French OR German or Polish or
Greek or some other foreign Iangu-
age. In one of the books there are
English words which read: eve were
hungry and he fed us. God bless
Herbert Hoover" That same fact is
told in many ways and many tongues.
And the other pages of the book :?
Only the All-Secing Eye may read
their full meaning. For they are fill
cd with the names Of little children,
thousands upon thousands upon thou
sands--six hundred thousand and
more-signed testimony, like the
books of recording angels.

the business genius Of Herbert Hoo

pages than there are children IN The
States of Kansas, Virginia and Maine
added together.
There ure names that are difficult
TO decipher and names that SOUND
like muslc-.painstakingly traced by
boys and girls-just little children
who knew what hunger meant. Dear
God! little children who had looked
upon a ruined world and watched the
agony and the madness or SLOWLY

mothers dropped by the wayside-
and who shall never find their own

WHAT WILL BECOME OF THIS
MONEY?

On January LIST 1923 nearly 6bO
million dollars of War Saving Stamps
and certificates, will be cashcd in by
the government. This large amount
OF money was saved during the war
and after, in sums from five dollars
to ten thousand dollars, saved chiefly
by people of small means-worliinr
people, we say, people who in many
instances made sacrifices in order 20
help win the war by loaning the
government money on the govern
ments guarantee for certain ne
Rod of time. This money is due and
payable January Isl next, with in
terest. The question: is what will the
people do with this vast amount or
money when they get it?
Some Of it will be souandcrcd in
extravegant living. The more money
we have the less we appreciate its
value, and the way it goes in ex-
travcgance. Some of this money will
be invested in worthless stocks-gold
bricks. The country is flooded with
wllo cat schemes and also-suckers.
VINO bite at get-rich-quick schemes
tnat they know nothing about, except
tho hope and guarantee" of the
sharper. Some of this money, let us
hope, will be invested in homes. O,
better homes, and provide against the
time when winter comes" and old
age cuts down earning capacity.
The Banks &c <And Saving Insti-
tuition.
All of this ESQ million dollars ox-
cept such part Of it needed for prof.
liable investment or other abs..., =
necessities, should be deposited in
the banks, which pay about the same
interest as was paid by the govern
ment BY redepositing this money and
accrued interest not only will th,
money be saved but the interest com.
bounded. Consult your banker H..
VIII give reliable advice. By no means
should this money be squandered Yop
