The coal strike continues to drag along without any apparent efforts to check it and so far there have been no serious reports of suffering but what about next winter. Really isn't there some danger of it being a bad old winter? It will have to bo settled some way some day, why not now? The Fort Wayne Nows advises the factions of the republican party to fix up their differences and warns them of what is going to happen this fall if they don't. The trouble is the old guard insists on being boss and the i progressives, now in the saddle again refused to take orders. Its “tuff."

School will be out in a few days, what about the boys?

It's as old as the race. 1 Many men deny it, but in their heart they admit it’s truth. And who would ,

Money and Comfort Everything has its drawbacks. The trouble with having money is the worry over it. This bank will take care of your money, give you a sense of security, and relieve you of worry. It means money and comfort, not money 3 and worry. The Peoples Loan & Trust Co. BANK OF SERVICE

’ have it otherwise? Woe unto humanity when man becomes so hardhearted that the grace and beauty of womanhood has no charms for him. “ A few hundred dollars would provide a dozen tennis courts, croquet grounds and sport yards in the city, 1 better for the children and an improvement on the weed lots, don't you think. All these things help to make a community a happier and hotter place in which to live, which doesn't mean that the hoysand girls should think of nothing but pastime. There’s a time for work and a time for play and we ought to do each a part of the day and as hard as we can. One of the leading republican papers

of Ohio produces tills sizzzling indictment of normalcy:— “The people ofthis country are being ground down into poverty thru taxa tion, and that taxation is made neces sary just by what Watts calls invisible government.’ It exists. It is in full operation. Any man in Washington not a fool knows it. The enforcement of the dry laws probably affords abundant material for a national scandal. The shipping board is filled up with high priced political favorites. IPolitical1 Political lawyers swarm and flourish in the Washington sunshine and for ii all the people pay and he who objects

loses his job or becomes an enemy of tile administration. It is costing the people hundreds of millions for which they get nothing and it can only be stopped by turning on the light. This should be done. A sweeping invests ga'.ion should be made, not by a weak kneed bunch of congressional politi cians but by a committee composed of men with brains and courage enough to find the facts and tell the truth about them.” In the old-time school the mathemc. tics class felt it had a man's job when ‘it was wrestling with the division in he arithmetic devoted to “partial pay 1 ments.” It is so in business. “Par tial payments" prove to be big prob- | lems.

time of general slowing down to post pone payment of an entire obligation, ofttimes, when the cash to pay all is not easily accessible. The temptation s not to pay at all if we cannot pay all. Rut there never was a more dangerous course for business to pursue. If you cannot pay all of that bill you owe. pay part of it. It is the dollar that's moving that helps. The school boy of a generation ago found that when he had mastered “partial payments" he had gained much confidence in his own accuracy, his systematic method of work, his ability to stick to a problem until it is solved. It is so with buisness. Partial payment is the surest method of reaching the stage for the red line and the balancing. The dollar that is started to work now will do the work of ten before it quits —and come back ready as ever for new duties.

VETERANS ASKING VOTES IN TENNESSEE United Press Service. Nashville, Tenn., May 9 —When Tennessee voters go to the polls next tall to elect a governor it is very probable that their choice will lie between two candidates whose combined ages total 150 years. The two veterans are: Gov. Alt. A. Taylor, 73, who intends to make the raie for re-election on the Republican ticket. Ex-Gov. Benton McMillin, 77, who Is considered as the most likely aspirant for the Democratic nomination. Gov. Taylor has been active in Tenuess politics for 50 years, having served several terms in congress. Thirty years ago he made the race for governor against his brother, the late Sen. ator Robert L. Tylor, a Democrat, and was defeated. The tw T o brothers, representing rival parties, stumped the state on a joint speaking tour that will never be forgotten in Tennessee. fix-Gov. McMillin began the practice of law in 1871 and except for a few brief intervals he has been active in politics since that time. He served as a member of congress prior to his election as governor in 1899 and more recently he was American minister to Peru.

Austin Peay, a Clarkville lawyer who made an unsuccessful race for governor four years ago, will seek the Democratic nomination again this yean The Tennessee senatorial race is a five pointed affair, all candidates being Democrats.

Sims who introduced the Plumb-plan bill of railroad control in congress, and Noah W. Cooper, Cooper, a leading law Methodist of Nashville, is running on a “blue law” ticket The fifth candidate is foriper governor M. R.
