Unregeneratcd Germany For centuries it has been accepted an academic maxim that the purpose of -punishment or the curtailment of liberty is to bring about reform and that suffering has an educative value. We nre not interested in the truth or fallacy of this maxim. Accepting it for the sake of drawing a conclusion, we are forced to admit that the heavy
punishment administered to Germany in the last
four years has done very little toward its moral reformation. Speeches of German leaders and editorial utterances of the press prove clearly that instead of holding themselves culpable for the war, the Germans now regard themselves as the innocent victims of other nations. Instead of finding a penitent nation, we find a vindictive people. The, statement of Herr Erzberger, head of the German armistice commission, reveals a haughty and revengeful purpose. Referring to the disposition of the Rhineland and to Poland's claim to Danzig, Herr Erzberger says, "What is German will remain German", and that Germany will reject any demands that apply to acts committed after December 16. The Coblenz Zeitung says, that a large section of the people are indifferent to the disaster that awaits them and show no sorrow for the outrages which they perpetrated upon Belgium and other countries. In Berlin the street fights between the Spartacans and government troops attract large crowds who look upon the spectacle in the same spirit that American crowds watch a football game. When the fight is over they visit the scenes of destruction in a complacent mood. It is difficult to appraise the moral status of these people. The yearning for world power still remains. Obviously the only cure is a peace treaty that will make impotent any further effort to re-establish their military power.
Teaching the Use of Banks The American Bankers association estimates that foreign born residents of the United States have accumulated nearly four billion dollars in the last four years. Before the outbreak of the European war in 1914, a large percent of their 'annual accumulations was sent to their native countries for the support of dependents or for deposit there. Very little has been sent across the Atlantic in recent years, owing to the difficulties presented by the military operations. , Bankers say that some of this money has been invested in Liberty Bonds, War Savings Stamps, and that an insignificantly small amount found its way to the banks and savings institutions. Many of the foreign born wage earners do not understand American banking systems or hesitate about turning over their money to financial institutions. They prefer keeping this money hid in their homes or carry it about on their persons. This is attributable partly to the collapse of some private banks which flourished in the districts where the foreign born resided and which entailed heavy losses on the depositors. The dishonesty of these bankers, most of whom were the same nationality as that of their depositors, created a feeling of distrust. These private banks were not under close scrutiny of state federal officials, opening a way for the dishonest bankers to rob the foreign born earners. To overcome this feeling of distrust and to educate the foreign born citizens in the advantages of depositing their moneys in reliable institutions, the American Bankers association will conduct an Americanization campaign. It will teach earners in every part of the country the usefulness of banks, the kinds of banking insti
tutions that are safe and the method of making use of banking facilities in the various cities. Reputable banks perform a real service in the community which often is overlooked both by patrons andjthe public generally. They offer not only convenience and security in handling money for their patrons, but also perform acts of service gratuitously, which otherwise would put the patron to considerable expense and inconvenience. The modern banker not only takes the money you deposit, but he also cheerfully advises you about investments and other pecuniary affairs. He is your friend in a professional way, and as said before, he charges no fee for the advice and suggestions which he himself has gained through long years of experience and perhaps at a considerable expense. The campaign which the Bankers association is waging will in the long run do more good to the public than to the banks themselves. Too many citizens look upon a bank as a grabbing institution rather than as a medium through which the interests of the community as a whole are furthered and the welfare of the individual promoted. It is not an idle piece of flattery to assert that all the financial institutions in Richmond and Wayne county have performed a great service to the community during the war period and daily dox many acts of kindness for individuals. The Wayne county bankers know that the welfare of the whole community depends upon the saving ability of the individuals who constitute it. They cheerfully give advice to the smallest depositor, looking upon him as a potential big depositor. Many instances could be cited where small depositors through the kindness of the Wayne county bankers have seen their savings greatly increased. The Morton Picture Fund The attention" of the public is again called to the fund which is being collected here to place a picture of Oliver P. Morton in the basement of the Soldiers' and Sailors' monument at Indianapolis. The sum of $75 is insignificantly small in comparison with the wealth of the residents of the county in which Oliver P. Morton was bom and upon which his illustrious career sheds glory and renown. The responses have been entirely too slow in comparison with the love for Morton and the loyalty of the community. It is to be hoped that. the $75 will soon be raised and that a check for this amount may be mailed to Oran Perry. '

Senator Sherman is in the happy state where he can freely speak his mind. He doesn't want to be senator anyway.
HOWEVER, THERE IS A DIFFERENCE Detroit Free Press. Mr. Taft admits that the covenant of the League of Nations undoubtedly needs revision; which is just the position Mr. Lodge takes.
President Still Obstinate, Asserts New York Herald
From the New York Herald. T T would seem that President Wilson Is determined
I not to be balked in his desire to forte the League of
Nations in its existing form on a peace conference probably as doubtful as the senate of the United States. He is said to have returned to Paris convinced that the senate does not represent the view of the people of this country and wants the draft covenant accepted by a plenKry session of the conference without debate. The attitude savors of obstinacy, if not arrogance, and will not commend itself to a free people Mho, however desirous of standing behind its chief executive, feels that he is forcing his opinions on the country rather than seeking to discover its real sentiments and as far as possible ect upon them. If Mr. Wilson has his way at the peace conference we shall perforce have been made a party to an instrument which, in the opinion of wise and dispassionate judges, abrogates the Monroe Doctrine and ties us up inextricably with other nations In the enforcement of the provisions of a league which overrides the treaty making rights of the senate and reduces the sovereignty of the nation. It seems incredible that President Wilson, with all his undoubted Influence among European statesmen, can persuade the peace conference to forego discussion of a draft covenant which, having read at a plenary session, he incontinently bolted back to this country, not to explain it, but simply to asseverate that it . was perfect in nil its parts; that it required no amendment; that the fate of humanity hung upon it, and that those who op-
p'osed it or desired its amendment were purblind, prejudiced and worse. It is true that France has become more reconciled to the league since, during the absence of Mr.. Wilson, it has been decided that Germany is to be deprived of its powers for future mischief for generations. Clemenceau and the, rest, therefore, now see little harm in the draft convention; in fact, they believe that, as it stands, it will help to keep Germany in her place and insure peace among the other nations. Britain also is willing enough to accept a league which will make the United Statea a prominent factor in preserving the future peace of the world, and naturally does not trouble itself much about the clauses which are objected to in this country, though for a long time past she has accepted the Monroe Doctrine in its integrity. One objection France and Britain may be expected to have to the covenant is that if it is included in and incorporated with the peace treaty which Germany Is to be called upon to sign that country will, as the Herald has already pointed out, become a party to the League of Nations, in which she is not wanted. As for the United States, it must never be forgotten that the prseident does not precisely occupy the position of a plenipotentiary in the framing and signature of a peace treaty or a League of Nations, as such instruments have to be ratified by a two-thirds majority of the senate. The rebuff which he has already experienced from that body suggests that there may be a still more unpleasant experience in store for him despite his avowed intention of returning with ihe treaty In his pocTtet and stumping the country.
THE ULTIMATE PROHIBITION Dear old Mr. Pickwick must depart From our public libraries. Also jubilant Sam Weller, His renegade dad, Tony Weller, Mr. Snodgrass, Percy Tupman And about nine thousand other Dickens characters, because Whisper it softly They drink horribly. A prominent temperance woman Who lives in New Jersey has said it.
The libraries will be combed And all objectionable characters Will be rooted out. There won't be a rumhound left. Dickens, although he has been dead For a number of years, is held To be a propagandist for liquor, By the same Bign, we must lose From our literature Will of Avon and Bobbie Burns, Dear old Oliver Goldsmith, Alexandre Dumas, Balzac, Poe, And in fact every one else Who has ever written about Any chracter who touched liquor. We don't know what the reformer Is going to do about the Bible. There are always annoying questions Just like that popping up To take all the joy out of life.
Records of the boys and girls' club work of the United States department of agriculture are full of Instances of club members who grew more than enough vegetables for their home tables and who either canned a sizable surplus or sold the remainder at a profit not to be sneezed at. For instance, Thomas Bresnen, 15, of Springfield, 111., made a net profit of 283 on a garden that was 310 by 410 feet. Thomas had a hard time with worms he said in his report; but a club leader showed him how to fight them. His garden was so far away that when he needed lime he carried a heavy sack of it 3 tales from Springfield. Some of the lime spilled out and got into his eyes, and Thomas got mad and quit. But he quit only until he talked with his club leader, and then he went in again and won.

Dinn er Stories
A society in Flushing of which Ellis Parker Butler is a member gave a feast to a crowd of fresh air children shipped out from New York city. Butler helped wait on the table. He noticed ' particularly a hungry looking boy with a face so freckled that it was practically one large freckle. The lad. had three helpings of everything in sight ad still looked worried. Butler studied him; doubtless he had come from one of the poorest of East Side families; probably never had a square meal in his life. The author hurried to the kitchen and returned with a big wedge of apple pie, which he placed before the hungry one. He hung around for a moment to watch developments. . A look of indignation swept over the freckled boy's face as he turned to a neighbor: "Darn,' he said, "who ever heard of apple pie without cheese?" Speaking of a profiteer, a senator said : "The man is not typical. If he were typical then I'd despair. I'd grow as pessimistic as the middle-aged lady. "A salesman was selling a bed-room clock to a pretty girl. " 'I recommend this clock with its Illuminating attachment to switch on,' he said. 'It's a very good thing to tell what time your husband comes home, you know.' " 'But I haven't got a husband," said " 'Oh, but you will have some day,' the pretty girl, said the salesman. " 'Yes, but not that kind of a husband,' said the girl. "Then it was that the middle-aged lady stepped forward. " 'My dear child, they're all that kind,' she said. 'Young man, I'll take that clock.' "
INDIANA UNIT MAY PARADE FOR LOAN
WASHINGTON, March 19. If. as expected, the Rainbow division arrives in the United States in time to taka part in the Victory loan campaign, every effort will be made to have the 150th field artillery, formerly the 1st Indiana, sent to Indianapolis. Although plans call for demobilization of a major part of the division either at Camp Sherman, O., or Camp Zachary Taylor, Ky., the publicity department of the loan campaign will intercede with the war department to have the division split up Into state units and each unit sent to its own state for demobilization. This would cause the 150th to go to Fort Benjamin Harrison. If this is not possible, the loan publicity department will attempt to have the division discharged as soon as it reaches this country and the men sent to their home states to take part in the loan campaign at the expense of the publicity department. Labert St. Clair, formerly of Veedersburg, acting as assistant director of publicity for the Liberty loan, said he was anxious to see the 150th field artillery sent to Indiana and that he would make every effort to have this done if the unit reaches the United States in time. Recent dispatches from abroad indicate that the unit will start home the first week in April.
Over Four Hundred Heirs Are Found for Estate
NEW BEDFORD, March 19. William M. Emery of this city, a geanologist employed by the trustees of the million dollar estate of Sylvia Ann Howland, aunt of Mrs. Hetty Green, has prepared a list of 2,000 descendants of Gideon Howland, it is announced. From this list he traced 439 heirs to the trust estate which was released for distribution by the death of Mrs. Green in July, 1916. The heirs live ia different parts of the United States, Canada, Hawaii, England and France.
When Was City Water Works Co. Organised?
The Richmond City Waterworks was organized in 1883, with J. M. Hutton, W. P. Hutton, D. K. Zeller, John W, Grubbs, John Z. Zeller, M. H. Dill and J. B. Craighead as the principal stockholders. The waterworks was started because the principal stockholders, who owned big commercial and industrial concerns, felt the need of more fire protection than the city then afforded. The company was granted a franchise by the city and a contract for supplying hydrants. The plant was completed in 1885 and ha3 been enlarged as the city grew. Comer's spring, the largest latural spring in this part of the state, was put under harness to supply Richmond with pure water in 1912.

STANDING BY THE WINDOW BY GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS I have often stood and watched the passing of a fraction of the activity and movement of the world outside from a window inside. Much of the knowledge which we all possess comes from our window pinins as we catch sparks frm the evergiving crowd of men and things. Standing in front of the window of your heart and of your brain, you see the things which you desire to change, or rebuild, or master. And the inspiration spurs you on! But did it ever occur to you that the only way whereby you may be enabled to add service and inspiration is to join that very crowd which you so calmly watch pass by? Watch and think and store ideas and suggestions which you believe capable of being re-moulded into something better but take your place in the line, pull your share of the load, give with your cheer and presence that which every doing crowd must have. It is very well to restrospect but never to retroGRADE. Speak the tongue' of a man tho a thousand voices seek to drown your utterance. There always comes a time when the crowd must give place to courtliness of character. As you 6tand by your window thinking, looking, evolving bear in mind that Christ was nailed to a tree on Calvery, that John Brown entered immortality from the scaffold, that Garrison was dragged thru a great city's streets, that Wendell Phillips' greatest speeches were hissed, that Lincoln, at the time of his greatest triumphs, lived in a mire of abuse hat everything of worth and endurance has to be bought with the sweat of your soul ! Yes, these things are true. But also, out from the window, thru which you look, you may see the swaying of the wind, the sweeping of the silent Isun, as it touches Its light and " warmth across buildings, trees, flowers, footpaths and people's hearts !
