MEMBER OF THE SCRIFFS NORTHWEST LEAGUBS OF NEWSrArEHs. News Service of the United Press a ag a Rd Company every evening except Sunday, | HINDSIGHT | Rare is the man or woman who doesn’t naturally tend to settle down in a rut. It is average human nature to choose the path of least resistance. Don't you remember, not a great while ago, how the bankers of the country growled at Bryan for urging laws to require banks to guarantee deposits? “Demagogue!” “Disturber!"” “Wild-eyed Populist I" were showered upon him ° The trouble wasn’t with Bryan at all, It was with the bankers. They were in a rut. They didn’t see the advantages, to them, of a plan which would have dispelled the latent suspicion in many minds, a suspicion which still causes numbers of persons to prefer old socks or cook stoves to bank tills as deposi- taries of their savings Had they seen this, the chances are there wouldn't have been any postal savings bank, to reach this very class. For, with bank guaranty general, the chief argument which led to the creation of the postal savings bank would have disap peared, The bankers of Wisconsin see it now—rather late. They have just decided to anticipate state action by insuring de posits mutually Maybe before the new currency bill becomes law the bankers of the nation will see it, too. | Quit the Horseplay It is poor taste, to say the least, to make a football out of the juvenile department ordinance, to be kicked about from council chamber to the mayor's office and from one committee to another. The juvenile department needs the aid it M asking—a stenographer and a motorcycle policeman, And, recognizing the need for assistance for the juvenile department, the council has no right to deny the little help asked of it. This is not a matter for political maneuvering, as some of the councilmen are seriously suspected of regard ing it. This is not a happy place to “rub it into” the police department or the mayor. The council should drop such notions at once. The Hesketh bill, coming up before the finance com- mittee this afternoon and the council Monday, should be con-| sidered on its merits. If the juvenile department is entitled to the assistance requested, it should get it. If not, it should be denied. And the council has gone on record that the help is} needed. A certain man, upon being elected to a high office, wired to a certain newspaper man who had worked hard and suc- cessfully in the campaign: “I am elected. What do you want?—Smith.” The answer to this was as fillows: “I already have all that I netd. To take more is taking what belings to others, and I hate a thief —Jones.” What does the reader think? Was Jones, morally and) economically, in the right? If Jones was, tell us why; if he wasn't, why not?) What's your idea in, say, 100 words? For one whom the reactionary organs in their frenzy decry as “not of sufficient caliber to receive much attention | for anything he says or does,” Senator Poindexter was the} certainly a bit aggravating when it came to filling the judge-| ship lost by Hanford through impeachment and Howard through an automatic recall. U. S. Grant, 65, is going to marry the widow America Will, 33, and his coming mother-in-law says he “fell in love at first sight.” This Ulysses isn’t like the old one, who never) fell into things at first sight. Charlotte Perkins Gilman, distinguished sociologist, thinks that English women have more knowledge than Amer-) jean, but the latter have the greater thirst for it. As between the having and the thirst, please pass us along the having MeNab quit and Herrington fired! You can bet your hide that when California lawyers risk their jobs the case is pretty serious. Ten to ome on those Sonora Constitutionalis diet to fight on. Cincinnati Post has won its way to national distinction. Coal barons have prohibited its sale in certain parts of West Virginia because it stands by the working folks. So those lawyers on Teddy’s side in that libel suit didn’t charge him anything! Huh! anybody can afford a lawsuit on such terms. In Japan the blind have a monopoly of the massage business. French criminologists declare that when your baby has |i, a very big toe it is a sign that he will sometime kill his |i parents. Those French are always ‘way up in knowledge, aren’t they?
