Banks are said to deal in credit.
The word "credit" has various mean
ings. When you deposit money. your
account receives "credit" for that
amount When a man borrows money
on his note at the bank. he is granted
credit" When a railroad. a manu-
featuring concern. q town. or a gov
eminent. issues bonds. It uses its
credit" When anyone buys goods
without paying cash. at the time Of
purchase, credit is granted. With
out credit. our present day business
system could not exist.
Credit is possible only where peo-
pie have confidence in each other.
and confidence can exist only where
good character exists. Every success
full business man looks upon his credit
standing as a most valuable asset.
and he maintains it by square dealing.
To get credit a man must pay his
debts, or it soon becomes known he is
not of good character n not worthy
of confidence. Those from whom he
woul buy refuse to trust him n he
banks decline to grant him credit.
Then come business failure n a long
uphill fight to get on his feet again
and live down the past.
More Thar Honesty Needed
Honesty is not the only factor in
volved in credit. For instance, Mr..
Jones. a man of forty. of excellent
morals, who has enjoyed a fair in
come for many years. sees an oppor-
tunity to purchase a business. He
requires financial assistance. He calls
on a banker and asks for the neces-
sary credit. The banker asks the ma
ture of the business. what it will cost,
and what Mr.. Jones can command in
ready money, or other resources. but
learns that he has nc money or prop
erty of his own.
1t is clear that Mr.. Jones lacks
ability to manage his affairs wisely.
He mas not had enough strength of
character to ave money by adapting
expenses to income, and therefore has
not proved that he could make inan-
cial progress. Moreover. IL men do
moi invest some of their own money
in the business they usually lack in
centive and become easily discour-
aged. 1t would be unwise for anyone
to assume such a financial risk. and
MIR. Jones probably would fail to get
credit from the bank. He must give
up his opportunity to some n else
who has saved money.
Banks are public servants. but that
does not obligate them to serve those
who are unfair in business or lack
ing in the great principles underly-
ing success To be known as a care
full and thrifty person is the best
assurance that the bank will extend
financial help when needed.
Many people think that one should
shun debt like the measles. They
fail to distinguish between wise and
unwise debt. 1t is wise to use credit.
that is. go into debt. to buy a home.
Such debt encourages thrift A stu
dent may wisely borrow money need
ed to complete his education. 1t is
an investment that should pay divi-
dends in greater success. Another
wise use of credit is borrowing
to buy good bonds. such as Liberty
Bonds. paying $40 down, borrowing

A True American Woman

What a splendid woman Florence Harding has
proven herself from the day the public first knew
OF her as the wife of a presidential candidate. Her
devotion and helpfulness to her husband had gone
on for many years without the public's knowledge.
But when Mr.. Harding assumed his place as the
greatest figure in the greatest power in the world,
she was at his side. The same efficient helpmate.
and as naturally and unquestionably a part of the
enlarged sphere as she was in the earlier years of
struggle in the office of the Marion Star.
She is n wonderful woman. Unspoiled by the
good or ill fortune that came to them in their life's
journey together.
In the presidents last illness, 1t was the wife
that Knew, better than all the men of science. when
the danger point was neared. And how nobly
she responded to every need and requirement.
Herself but lately up from a long illness, she ac-
knowledged no fatigue. Her strength was farced
to meet the demands of the situation. She
smoothed the pillow for the last time with her
accustomed motherlincss, spoke words of cheer
that concealed a breaking heart and with Chris
tian %fortitude, received the blow that took from
her the object of her greatest love.
The experience through which she is passing.
comes to us all sooner or later. While n christian
people pay tribute to her distinguished husband
who has gone beyond recall, let the prayers of
that people be for the noble woman who was so
large a part of his honorable career and an ever
present influence for good, whom Providence de-
lcrees must remain with her grief.
Florence Harding needs the sustaining love and
sympathy Of all America.

Too Realistic

The American idea OF British newspapers has
always been that they are ~dignified, ultra-conser-
Vatlve and dull in comparison with our own Jour.
nails. In most things the idea is correct. But
IN others, we cannot approach them for frankness

OF matter and the fairly candid accounts of divorce
cases in which prominent people are concerned
that appear in our yellowest journals. Our wild.
est efforts do not compare with English news.
papers, when they have a similar situation under
consideration. Our British cousins simply hand
1t out blood raw. No shocking detail is Committed.
In fact, the shocking details in divorce cases lately
tried in English courts and reported in Eglisb
newspapers have so shocked the moral sense of the
public that n Parliamentary committee has decided
to recommend that certain restrictions be placed
upon the publication of divorce proceedings had
in the realm.
There is a natural reluctance to in any manner
and there is something to be said in favor of
been ignored. On the whole however. the British
public and the Parliamentary committee have
reached the conclusion that more harm than good is
done in spreading before readers of all ages the
ragedies of married life. Our British contem.
|Poraries, of course, should have reformed them
selves and not waited for public opinion to con
denim their practices.
In America the newspapers are more sensitive
to scent unpopularity; and lose no time in correct.
ing faults and offenses against the proprieties.
True, some, at times, verge very close to the danger
line in calling a spade a spade; but ordina rily we
flnd a nickname, which answers the purpose quite
as well. and thereby avoid public scorn.
