The Procrastinator
IS
ALWAYS LIABLE TO BE LUCKLESS
Tbcrr a young man in this community who
t-* well-disposed toward Our Hank Account Plan
intended to open an account during the past
n-»r. He earned money but deferred opening
an account because to him it always seemed ‘’in
convenient'* tiw* result is he is acquiring
habits of spending instead of the habit of ac
cumulation.
It is easy to open an account and take advan
tage of Our Bank Account Plan—a deposit of
$1.00 or more will get you started. However
keep in mind that there is no time like “right
now” if you want the larger results.

When the First National Bank at Superior closed its
doors a short time since, it was claimed to be on account of
slow collections on matured paper, borrowers being unable
to meet their obligations. It was soon found that Cashier
Felt (what’s in a name?) was missing; could not be locat
ed, nor has been yet. Investigation proved the bank had
been “touched” to the tune of some $12,000 and over plas
1 tered with worthless paper to “blind” the sagacious bank
examiners and bank officials and indictment in some
seven counts is out against said cashier for making false
i entries in the bank books, juggling the figures, sending
| false statement of the bank's condition to the comptroller
of the currency, embezzling some four thousand in money
and converting notes to the value of $8,100 to his own use.
He is also charged wit having duplicated notes signed by
farmers involving several thousand dollars. The last trace
of Felt was down on the Gulf, and belief is expressed that
he may be out of this country by this time. It would ap
pear from above that bank examinations are a long way
i from being a safe thing to rely upon.

That was a measly old trick the weather man played
| on this part of Nebraska last week. The Northwestern
was scarcely printed and in the mail, with lurid comments
on the beautiful weather, compared to the effete East with
its snow storms and blizzards, or Sunny(!) Southern Cali
j fornia with its disastrous floods, when the comptroller oi
the weather sent us a blizzard with 14 below zero accom
modations and about a 60-mile gale sweeping down on us
from the north. If that w’as not piling it on some, we
have another think coming. However, after about twenty
four hours of that brand of stuff, it let up ashamed of itself,
and all is serene once more.
Orthodoxy on the Pacific coast has received a severe
shock. Dr. Charles F. Aked, a Congregational minister
and president of the Church Federation of San Francisco,
, has declared his unbelief in the doctrine of “the immacu
late conception.” Did you ever notice that when some
“high and mighty” preacher wishes to get notoriety and
big advertising for himself he denies the whale and Jonah
story, the doctrine of immaculate conception, or some one
or other of the Biblical narrations? And yet only four of
the members of the association took exceptions and asked
his removal for heterodox teaching.
A bill has passed the house of congress providing that
; every one admitted to this country must be able to read
; some language. Such a measure was vetoed by both
! Cleveland and Taft during their incumbency of the chief
! magistrate’s office, and probably will be vetoed by Wilson,
as he has already expressed disapproval of such law. But
why not a literacy test, not only for immigrants, but for
the right of citizenship with all its privileges?

Aurora has been having a battle royal between the
city council and the electric light company. The council
would not pay all the street lighting bill on account of al
leged poor service. The company demanded the whole
amount by last Saturday night or the city should go dark.
The aldermanic contingent said “Let ’er go dark and be
d—ark,” so to speak. We have no wireless of outcome.
President Wilson last week gaVe cold comfort to del
egates of equal suffrage movement who called at the ex
ecutive mansion, and following that 123 out of 180 demo
cratic house members in caucus voted against giving their
mothers, wives, sisters and daughters the same constitu
tional rights they accord a thick-lipped, ignorant negro, or
unlettered male biped, white, black, brown or yellow, who
wishes citizenship. *
Why not get busy in Sherman county on the “good
roads" proposition as seems the case in Hamilton county?
At Aurora, a few days ago, all but two of the road over
seers in the county met at the court house with the coun
ty commissioners to discuss ways and means of securing
best results. Such meetings can only conserve to very
materially advance better roads movements.
President Wilson in substance now says to the Mexi
cans, “Sick ’em,” and climbing an eminence overlooking
the dog fight folds his hands and enjoys the scene. He has
withdrawn the embargo on arms and ammunition and now
both sides can purchase all the “killers” they can get on
this side of the Rio Grande, as long as they have the “long
green” to swap for same.
