 It is believed that the Waterbury Savings bank is the first to take advantage of this new statute. The measure was supported by local bankers at hearings before the legislative committee on banking in the 1893 session.
 The Waterbury Savings bank has title to the building in which the former kazemekas bank was housed, hence the plans to oust the present grill and set up the branch depository. Original negotiations called for the opening of the branch in a year or two. Later dis cussion resulted in early action be- ing proposed.
 The Waterbury Savings bank is now made up of the old Dime Saw ings bank, West Side Savings, and Waterbury Savings bank. The three banks merged about a year ago,

 Fire Marshal Dennis J. Lahey stated this noon that the fire had shown the benefits of the sprinkler systems which are in use in all the city's schools. He pointed out that the fire had scarcely gotten under- way when the sprinkler system went into action.
 When the system had been re- connected and the firemen had re- turned to their stations, the regu- lar morning school session was be- gun and went on without interrup. tior1.

Dedham jail and Dedham court house to decide where state troop CTS should be posted Saturday when the three alleged killers are transferred for arraignment.
 A divided defense was foreseen to-day as a probable handicap to Abe Faber and Murton and Irving Millen when they go on trial for their lives here two weeks from next Monday as the alleged ma chine gun bandits who slew two Needham policemen.
 With the Millen brothers stead- fastly refusing to cooperate in tho formulation of a general defense, and Faber equally adamant, rela- lives and lawyers strove to restore the trio to their former friendly basis so they could more effective ly combat the charges against them.
 District Attorney Edmund b. Dewing said the states case was virtually ready for presentation and that he would strenuously op- pose anticipated moves by defense counsel to delay the trial. Both Attorney Albert R. Mackusick, counsel for the Millens, and Attor- ney William R. Scharton, counsel for Faber, announced they would seek postponement, Scharton adding, "The longer the better
 "We shall fight any attempt to cause a postponement," Dewing de- clared. "There must be no delay in the trial of these men,"
 Meanwhile doubt arose as to whether, after all, Murton Millen's attractive young wife, Norma would testify in his behalf. After she had indicated that she would do all possible to save her husband from the electric chair, she was quoted yesterday by her father, the Rev Norman Brighton. as saying she had Host all my love and my faith in him."
 "I don't care whether I ever see him again." the father quoted Norma as saying. T have had a lot of time to think since l have been in jail. Prison life has ma tured me. Somehow I see things more clearly. I do not want to an tagonize Murt, but somehow l fee as though he was no longer part oi my life." oo,
 Norma is in jail under s50.o0C bail as an alleged accessory after inc fact to the Needham slayings She is not expected to be triel un- til after the trial of the Mlllens and Faber, however.

DEMOCRACY AND STRIKES

People who enjoy living in democracy might
as well make up their minds to the fact that de-
mocracys shortcomings have to be accepted along
with it's benefits. We have been getting a first
hand picture of one of democracys worst draw
'backs-knock-down and drag-out industrial war
But we need to recognize the fact that this sort
of thing costly and destructive it is is never
theless one of the things we bargain for when We
pin our faith to the democratic processes.
Russia has strikes because there is not, strict
ly speaking, anyone for the workers to strike
against except themselves :. That's one way to
make strikes mpossible-to iquidate the employ
ing class. =.
The Italian worker can't strike because, if he
does, he strikes against government which will
have no hesitation in bringing its iron hand down
on his neck. So that's another way to prevent
strikes-to iquidate the labor movement
Under a democracy, neither of these solutions is
possible There must remain, then, an amount Of
freedom within which either the employer or the
worker can, if he feels justified, precipitate indus
trial war. -.
We have democracy and we mean to keep it
and our strikeless millennium will just have to
wait until the whole industrial field is pervaded by
the justice, the public spirit and the sense of re-
sponsiblity which are, ultimately, democracy's
greatest safeguards.-Tiff (ohio) Advertiser

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
WHITE COLLAR LEAGUE OF AMERICA

The White Collar League of America is pa
triotic progressive association 1t is non-proht
corporation, nonsectaran and without political al
citations. Its articles of incorporation are based
on the following purposes:
''To work in the interests and for the welfare OF
that group of United States citizens, commonly
known and described as the white collar class,
whose occupations, vocations professions DO not
involve manual labor; to foster patriotism; and 10
promote respect for the government of the United
States of America"
The white collar class has probably been the
greatest sufferer throughout the depression, and
has had the least to say regarding the misery into
which it has been plunged.
By the white collar class is meant not only sala-
ried employees finale and female), but also those
whose source of income is derived from this great
middle class-namely, DOCTORS dentists, lawyers,
teachers, statesmen, owners of small stores and
Observation-Disclosures capitalized or not, whose in
terests are all Identical and all of whom should
face the future shoulder to shoulder.
A dissatisfied and helpless middle class is great
menace to any country, and its members are fer
tile soil on which may be sown thei seeds of Com
munism or any other of the political "sms' of to-
| day.
| The White Collar League of America, standing
as it does, against any change in our American
| traditions of freedom of thought and individual
action, is the logical solution toward mitigating
the unrest of the great middle class by giving
them united voice in the affairs of this country.

ABSENTEE VOTING OPPOSED

In its issue on Monday of this week the Raleigh
News and Observer, recognized leading Democratic
newspaper of the state, editorially expressed the
opinion that absentee ballot voting in North Caro-
lima should be abolished. While various other
newspapers have from time to time expressed SIM
liar opinions we do not recall that the News and
Observer has done so before this. 1t must be
gratifying to all who wish to rid the election law
OF the obnoxious absentee feature, and there are
many thousands who wish it, Democrats as we'll as
Republicans, to have the support of so influential
publication as the News and Observer. Similar

THE DOG NUISANCE
By WICKES WAMBOLDT.

of the dog-good night! He might
be nicked for $50.
As good an illustration as |
know of that clearly depicts our
lack of social consciousness. our
indifference. to our responsible
ties to one another, our absence
of the spirit of cooperation ne
cessary to the development and
maintenance of harmonious,
constructive social condition, is
our readiness sto permit our dogs
continuously to poster and harm
ur neighbors.
Properly speaking, person
has no right to have a dog in a
congested neighborhood unless he
is willing to confine the animal
so he can not run over and in
jure other persons property and
unless he will see to it that the
dog does not entertain himself
baying all night under a next
door neighbours window. But a
dog closely confined and isolated
is an unhappy creature KlndneSS
requires that he have liberty and
human companionship.
The dog nuisance could be
much helped if municipalities
would refuse to allow any but
small house dogs to be kept
within the CITY limits-the type
| of dog that remains in the house
at night. 1t is during the night
that dogs are most obnoxious.
And there should be a dog
catcher to patrol residential sec
tons at night with instructions to
deal effectively with every dog
he finds at lar0e.
Recently a man whose wife was
at the point of death went to a
neighbor and reported that the
neighbours dog made such a
racket every night that the sick
woman was greatly distressed.
The neighbor shut his dog up for
night or two, then let him roam
as before. The man with the sick
wife put out a little piece of doc
tored meat for the dog. And the
| dog slept with his fathers.

Editor The Times-News: l... ....
For the past five years your
correspondent has been a taxpay-
er in both the city and the county
and licensed merchant in the
city of Hendersonville, paying, up
until the last year, S42.50 per
year to operate the business
known as Kings City News
Stand, a business whose profit is
made in pennies. This last year
our license was reduced to
$3.50. In the newspaper bust
ness profit runs from ! 1-2 cents
on daily papers, which are usually
understandable, to cents on Sun
day papers, which are also unre-
turnable. From this profit we are
forced to pay the state of North
Carolina a sales tax Of 3 cents,

On the streets of Henderson
vile are from two to ten news
boys, some of them grown men
who ought to be behind the plough
making an honest living for their
wives, selling papers. These boys
and grown men pay the city Of
Hendersonville absolutely no
taxes or license, but are allowed
to compete with the legitimate
merchant who does.
From time to time we have
been forced in our corner, as has
been the case with Freeze drug
store, Rose Pharmacy and other
places who handle newspapers, to
run news boys and sometimes
grown men right out from in front
of our place of business, to keep
them from selling papers to our

We sincerely believe that the
city of Hendersonville should not
only put a license on these free
lance peddlers who can sell 10
cent newspaper for 10 cents and
not be forced to pay the 1-cent
tax to the state. that the legitimate
merchant is forced to pay by pen
atty of law, but that these same
peddlers should be forced to stay
off of sections where legitimate
merchant is handling that sort of
merchandise, and we feel sure if
the city commissioners Of the city
Of Hendersonville will empower
Otis V. Powers, chief of police,
with this authority he will see
that it is done, because at various
times he has found the self-same
