Our democracy calls for representative authority, which we, the people, delegate to the president, congress and the courts. Often, perhaps, they do not really represent us, Our recourse, then, is to choose other men, There many laws that many of us, as individuals, do not think are right. But have no justification on that account to cefy the authority of the law That would be anarchy. Demoe racy is not lawless rule There were many of us who for years wanted to make things atic by leaving it to the ople to decide national as well ey state quer by direct vote. But a majority of the people evi cently have not favored this—and democracy abides by majority rul Some day, our democracy will take unto itself lawfully these added powera—and then the direct voice of the majority will become law oven to the minority, just as the vote of our representatives in con 68 now makes the law he prohibition law in this state ig an instance, It was passed by a majority of 18,000 in the state, altho approximately 150,000 voted inst it, These 150,000 are com. pelled to obay their own best judg. it is foolhardy to make them obey t lation of democracy, ns ent—and yet, declare that to law is a vio- He's) more | that law in spite of | | ! |fernal day at Fort Adama }he asked that he might STAR—THURSDAY, JUNE 14, 1917.

This is the firm opinion of our leading econ- omists and writers. On every hand is heard the call to the people to work and to save, that as much as possible can be preserved out of the waste and loss due to war’s demands. “The world cannot witness such a frightful waste of life and property without doing some solid thinking.” So declares an eminent authority on Thrift, which is a blessing, and a trait now to be diligently cultivated in the family circle. Jacob Schiff once said, “No greater happi- ness can be obtained than that through hon- est work.” Accumulation of money earned by Work and Thrift bring truest happiness and provision for old age. The Peoples Savings Bank for the protec- tion of its savings depositors carries a reserve of 50 per cent of its savings deposits in cash or immediately convertible highest grade securities. This big reserve, together with the Peoples Bank Building corner, form an impregnable bulwark protecting YOUR savings, on which the bank pays 4 per cent interest.
