Presumably otiu-r aiikH art- able to nuke the fiinn: announcement but the nstitution rf rr-d to is to be coninended for calling attention to the subject. The bu?inc.S3 life of a community

J-iepend.s largely upon its per capita

iniount of available capital. A scarcity )t available money ior legitimate local needs tends directly to cripple a com-

ut unity. As mo.-t depositors are own-

k-ra of property, they necessarily are

vitally interested in the benetitn following the local investment of their savings. Ah long as there is a local

demand for money upon safe security

there Is slight if any excuse for foreign investment of local money by a cus

todian bank. It 13 an acknowledged fact that local building lias suffered In recent years by reason of inability to borrow reasonably for needed improvements or developments. This hits the material men and the laborers. It holds hack the growth of a city. It is also true that several manufacturers have refrained from coming to South Bend placing the reason on the inability of local banks to extend the suHicient line of credits their business would demand and deserve. If these men were, honest in such expressions and were correctly informed the indictment against the city would be severe particularly if due to unreasonable foreign investment. South Bend may well boast of its strong financial Institutions. While the capitalization is not excessive the surplus carried by the various banks is splendid. Their deposits climb higher and higher each year. If there is a local demand for this mnnty it would ffftn that it should be supplied in preference to outside loans. High rates of interest are alluring but not conservative. There must be an element of risk or speculation in any investment offering excessive interest for n loan. At equal rates of interest no institution should discriminateagainst the community that fills Its vaults. The Chamber of Commerce if it

wishes to undertake something practical might well spend some time in ascertaining if an abuse exists in the matte of foreign loans. The standing argument in favor of Lank depositing as against the postal saving bank is that the banks keep the money at home and help the growth of a community, while the postal service forwards the. money away from home. This argument is strong and should be controlling in every case where the bank actually reciprocates hy keeping the money at home as much as possible. ax itth no i ,o( ; u 1 a l y i 1 : x a c i :. If we were disposed to be nervous wo might extract a shiver from the speculations of Prof, (tuglielmo Ferrero, the Italian historian and critic, on what he terms "Japan's curious American policy". But. as a matter of fact we are not worrying over a possibility so remote. The Japanese, according to Vrof. Fcrrero, are proceeding on the theory that there, exists a racial relationship with the. Mexicans and seeking to es- , tablish an ethnological bond between the two peoples which will give the i Japanese the foothold in America they are so evidently trying to gain. "Japanese writers." he says, "are commencing to argue that America is peopled largely by a race akin to the Japanese and is among the territories on which Japan has historical rights." With this assumption as a basis Japan is supposed to be inslduously working up the feelings of our troublesome neighbors over the Mexican border, ami with some show of suc

cess at least temporary. The Huerla government has responded to these friendly overtures by dispatching Senor de la Barra to the Japanese capital to thank that government for Its participation in the h.bration of the centennial of Mexican independence three years ago, and the Japs took no note of the lapse of time. How far Mexico may consent to permit this ethnological bond to go in contributing to Japanese suprm.icy in America the I'nn.-d .t ites and other American nations, not to speak of Kuropean fntere4. would hav. something to say -'ore the amulgomation and occupation are complete.

the duties of the civil courts were taken over, and that at the time such martial law was being enforced there

was no evidence that the civil courts had been intimidated or that they would have failed to faithfully perform their duties. Under the usurpation of clil law, which the report declares was not warranted by the conditions, individuals were arrested, tried, convicted, sentenced and punished by military courts for offenses alleged to have been committed by them without the right of being heard by a jury, and the punishments inflicted were in excess ff those provided by civil law. In this arbitrary and insolent manner the rights of individuals were taken away from them in order that the mine operators might defeat the strike of their employes then in program. This is an extreme example of the

exercise of insidious influence over the powers of government and the civil authorities who permitted it, if tho statements made are true, are guilty of violations of the national and state constitutions and merit the extreme penalty of the law.

WA.SINGTON. Jan. When Sen. Gore of Oklahoma was a small boy of eight or nine, he started to take up flying as a pursuit. If he had not lost his eyesight a.rtly after that, he might be a devotee to aeronautics even now. Alter reading a lot of Sunday school leaflets about the pow-

;ot to wondering one day if Hying wasn't largely a mere matter of faith. He believed he could rly, and believing he could fly, so he felt, was half tho battle. So he arranged to do a little flying and chuckled over the way he would surprise his parents when they saw him come soaring over the burn and flitting from tree to tree. He set his mind n the proposition, and in a little while had himself convinced beyond the shadow of a doubt that his faith-volltation would be a complete triumph.

terested to know that his present address is the city cemetery. i

a viiksatiia; max. Perhaps the most versatile man in the world passed away in the death of S. Weir Mitchell, who died at his home in Philadelphia Sunday morning. At least he had successfully and simultaneously followed more different and distinctive pursuits than any

other man of the present generation of whom there is any record. Dr. Mitchell was at once an eminent physician and surgeon, a scientist of world-wide renown, an author on scientific and professional subjects and a novelist of distinction. He was marvelously industrious and wonderfully productive, and his literary attainments are the more remarkable from the fact that as he once remarkoil, he never had any education. All the same Dr. Mitchell was a student and fitted himself for Jefferson medical college, subsequently taking degrees from Harvard, Edinburgh, Princeton and Bologna. His specialty was nervous diseases and in this line he ranked among the best in the world. . His career as an author began in 18.' 2 and between that year and 1S9 4 he had issued 12 3 different publications, mostly on scientific and professiona' subjects. In popular literature he was first known in IS 83. Among his most notable novel? are "Hugh Wynne", a story of the American revolution, "Characteristics" and "Dr. North and His Friends".

One little detail of his arrangements involved the matter of wings. Ho thought a suitable equipment of wings would increase his faith in his enterprise and help to make it a success. But the only light, airy material he could lind about the place that' would do for wings was a quantity of corn fodder. That might not be the ideal stuff for wings, but it would do nicely. Gore believed, as the whole operation was simply a matter of faith anyhow. He made two sizeable bundles of the fodder, bound them up with binder twine, and carried them to the top of a gnarled appb? tree. Then he deftly inserted his arms into the fodder, thus providing plain, substantial wings, and poised ready for the flight. For a moment he was tempted to call his parents and let them have the pleasure of seeing him float out into space, but he decided first to make a little practice fl'ght over the top of the house and back. He leaned a litle forward, as neaily like a bird as he could, and cast nimself out into the atmosphere. After they had carried him into the house and summoned a doctor, they asked him how he happened to be in the apple tree. "In the interest of science," replied Gore, and that was all the satisfaction they could get out of him.

The expressions of good will for the new administration at the reception and dinner given by former Mayor Goctz must have been gratifying to Mayor Keller. He might reasonably draw from them the assurance that while they opposed his election with all the force at their command the democrats of South Bend will as earnestly aid him in promoting the welfare of the city.

Swindles operated through the mailj have cost the public $129,000,000 the past two years i! spite of prosecutions. It is now proposed to try prevention rather than punishment by barring from the mails all concerns that cannot show clean manifests.

Bep. Barnhart has contributed to the press a strong article in defense of the newspaper publicity law, of which he was one of the authors. Mr. Barnhart shows conclusively that the press as well as the public will profit by the law.

The late Mayo: Ellis M. Chester of Elkhart had in this city a large circle of friends who will deeply regret his untimely end. Mayor Chester had made an excellent record as the head of the municipal government of Elkhart.

Bep. "Jimmy" Burke of Pittsburgh was imported into a small town in Eastern Pennsylvania one night to be chief spellbinder at a political rally. The meeting was ht Id in a Metho

dist church, lighted ia the good- oldfashioned way b kerosene lamps. Just before he began to speak, the janitor sneaked up behind Burke, tugged at his sleeve mysteriously, and spoke to him In a law, confidential tone. "How long you goin to talk?" he asked. "Oh, I don't know," replied Burke, half insulted: "I suppose my address will occupy an hour or so. Why do you ask?" "Well, if you get through in an hour it'll be all right," commented the janitor. "I don't quite understand, ' put in Burke; "who are you to say how long I shall speak?" "I'm just giving you a friendly tip," said the janitor. "If you get through in an hour all will be well. If you take longer well, youll see." After he got well launched into his speech. Burke forgot all about the janitor's remarks, and he was still going when the clock showed that he had talked an hour and five minutes. About that time the crowd began to notice that the lamps were burning low. Burke drew his address to a close, but before the church was emptied, the place was in total darkness. Then the janitor returned to Burke's side. "I hope you won't take any offense," he bevan, "but you know they've got an awful long-winded preacher here and some of the young folks have arrangtd with me to put just enough oil in the lamps to hold the services down to about an hour. I forgot to put in any more tonight 'till it wa-s too late, so I thought I'd give you a little warning."

THE statement that

How then are we to account for the effect of the recent catastrophe in Michigan st. on the' average limb of the law?"

(Laporte Herald.) About the luckiest fire in the history of our little burg was Xmas eve, when the home of Wm. Lonmis caught fire, supposedly from the furnace. Mr. and Mrs. Doomis had gone to Eaporte to spend Xmas. About 8 o'clock in the evening Glenn Miller, who lives at the Loomis home, went to the house and upon opening the front door, found the house was full of smoke. He at once told some other parties who were along with him, but, on account of the smoke, they were unable to locate the fire for some time. By means of water and fire extinguishers the fire was put out. ONE of Mayor Keller's former friends called at the city hall last Saturday and inquired for the mayor. The clerk said he was out and asked if the caller wished to leave any message. "We just been butcherin' out to our house," said the farmer, "and I thought I'd bring the mayor In a little backbone." The clerk said he would see that the mayor got it. The package was left and sent to the mayor's house. Later the farmer dropped in again. The mayor was there, but he was not the man the farmer expected to see. "I brought in a little backbone for Mr. Keller," he said. "Mr. Keller shall have it," said Mayor Goetz. "I don't need any backbone." Friends of George Urev may be in-

Mary, blushing, ran from the room.

IF, as he declares, the retiring mayor got all he wanted of official life, we may assume that this is where Mayor Keller Goetz his.

Mishawaka should not forget that South Bend gave her a city attorney and a lieutenant governor.

SECOND YEAR OF MARRIED LIFE.

TO KSCAPE TIIK HEAT WARREN ANNOUNCES A TRIP TO THE SEASHORE.

RY MAIIHL HERBERT URNER.

Sen. Overman of North Carolina owes much of his success in life to one man who used to be leading murderer in that part of the state. When Overman was a small lad he went to the courtroom one day to listen to a murder trial. The lawyers on both sides were eloquent lawyers and greatly impressed young Overman. He decided then and there that he, too, would be a lawyer and stand up before juries shouting quotations from Shakespeare or the scriptures. Fourteen years later he was a lawyer ready for his first case. There was a

murder in the little community and r -. . . .

verman was appou iea Dy me court to defend the murderer who had killed a grand total of seven men up to that time. It was the same murderer whose trial had put Overman into the notion of becoming a lawyer.

Helen had been home ten days now, and while these first days of her return had not been all that she had dreamed they would be, still she had been very happy. Though Warren was not as tender and affectionate, as she had hoped, yet he was far more considerate of her than he used to be. The heat had been trying, and made him at times more irritable. But she could see he tried not to vent his displeasure on her. And that had been one of the things that had hurt most. Whatever the cause of his anger or discomfort, he used always make her feel that it was in some way her fault. That fearfully hot evening they had taken the car ride had been the most unfortunate one since her return. Warren had been undeniably irritable and sullen then. War

ren hardly spoke to her on the way

home. And she had gone to bed witn a heavy heart, fearing that he was re-

lapsing into his Ola speus or lrruaouity. But he had made up for it the next morning in saying as he started off: "Take it easy tod kitten. Keep as cool as you can, and tonight we'll go to a roof garden. That'll be better than a crowded trolley ride. How about having dinner there?" "Oh, no, Warren, we mustn't dine out so much. You know how expensive it is. Let's have dinner here first just something cold, and then go to the roof afterward." "All right, economical person!" as he pulled at a loose strand of hair. Paying Her.' "Oh, you're mussing me all up!" "You look prettier when you're mussed," brushing her hair loosely over her forehead. "There now, go look at yourself in the glassyou look like the girl on the magazine cover." When he had gone she did run to the mirror, and not only was her slightly dishevelled hair becoming, but her cheeks were softly flushed and her eyes shining from Warren's unaccustomed compliment. He so rarelv said anything of this kind to her that she treasured every word. And now she was more than ever glad that since her return she had faithfully kept the promise she had made to herself to always wear a fresh and dainty house gown every morning for breakfast and in every way to make herself as attractive as she could. Her resolve that "Warren should never again see her carelessly or unbecomingly dressed, she had so far rigidly kept. And she felt that the compliment he had paid her this morning was worth all the time and effort it had cost. So instead of spending an unhappy day brooding over his harshness of the night before, lust because he had said what he did this morning, everything was "right" again. And she went about her work humming happily. That evening they went to the roof garden, and again the next night. But each day grew hotter than the one before. Warren vowed repeatedly that they would nver spend another summer in this apartment, but he admitted it

'f- I would be better to wau nniu it ... ! cooler bfor they again went apart

ment-seeking. The papers had daily announced that the morrow would bring relief. But the thermometer kept steadily upward until now. the eighth day of the heat wave, dawned hotter than any that had come before. The air was stifling. Warren had laid all night on a couch in the front room and Helen had her bed drawn close under the window, but neither had slept. Winifred too. on her little cot by the nur-;e-v window, had been mot fretful. ifAlen." Warren demanded sud-

us sick. Now, can you be ready by 5 and we'll go out this evening?" "But Warren " "Well, we're going, that's all there is about it. I don't intend to spend another night like last night. Now don't take a lot of things just enough for you and Winifrid to get along on. I'll be home in time to pack my suit case." "Now just leave that to me. All you've got to do is to get yourself and Wilifred ready by 5 o'clock. Can you do it?" "Oh, yes, of course I can." "Good! I'll be here at & sharp. It'll take me about twenty minutes to get my things together and we'll be out of here by half past."

A week at the seashore! In spite of Helen's anxiety as to the expense,

she was filled with joyful anticipation.

Somehow the thought of going away with Warren seemed to renew the romance of their honeymoon.

To many women the possibility of romance In married life ends before the first year, hut with Helen two years had not succeeded in crushing

it.

She was ever trying to make of Warren the lover. And although he was far from that, what he lacked in sentiment her own vivid imagination made up. She was always planning scenes of tenderness and love to be

lived through with him, and countless

disappointments had not as yet -rush out this tendency. Pleasant Thoughts. And now In this trip to the sea

shoie, she saw many possibilities of

hours in which they could be very

happy. She remembered during their en

gagement, one wonderful day's trip to

the beach, and how they had sat out on the sand in the moonlight and listened to the rushing waves. Yielding to a sudden fancy she had made him give her a pencil and a bit of paper. The back of an envelope was all he had, and she had torn it in two and told him they must each write the thing they wished for most in the world and then bury their wishes deep in the sand, with a little prayer that they would come true. lie had laughed and called her a sentimental little kitten, whom he suposed he had to humor. Then she had found two clam shells in the sand and putting the tighth folded bits of paper between them, had buried them deeply. On hers she had written "that he will love me always as much as he lovs me now." Although she never asked him, she often wondered what he had written. As they left she had tried to mark the place in her memory by an imaginary line from a tree and a distant cottage. She smiled now at that fancy, for Ion? ago the waves had washed the shells away. But now all day as she got their things ready for this trip, she dr?amed of that wonderful night. And sh was filled with fluttering expectancy that they were again going to the beach, and perhaps to the very same place, they would once more sit out on the sand in the moonlight and listen to Mie rushing waves.
