If "Samson" could be induced as a patriotic
duty to proceed to Mexico and show the natives
how artistically . the successors of Coronado
"throw the bull," international affairs would take
on a more peaceful aspect at once.

Wages and the Call to War.
Those employers who have announced an in
tention to continue for a specified length of time
the wages of any on their pay rolls who may have
been called to the colors, may feel assured their
motives will be variously defined. It is not likely,
though, that sheer selfishness animated them all.
A far better way to look at the movement is to
admit that some of the soulless institutions have
acually developed a spot that cart be touched
other than the pocketbook nerve. It would be
incredible if all the welfare work developed within
the last decade were solely for exhibition pur
poses. The present manifestation may well be,
accepted as the result of a determination of the
big corporations to do their bit along with the
boys who go to the front, and in no finer way
could they do thia than by making the soldier's
mind easy as to the fate of those he leaves be
hind. The action of these employers is in strong
contrast to the conduct of some members of or
ganized labor, who have refused to enlist merely
because the pay of a soldier is not equal to the
wage scale commanded in civil life.
Business Methods in City Purchases.
Much improvement has been made in purchas
ing methods employed by municipal authorities,
but there is always room for more improvement.
This is strikingly emphasized by a paper that
has just come to hand in the printed proceedings
of the "City Managers' association," which met
at Dayton last November, and which contains a
discussion of "Buying for the City" by the pur
chasing agent fbr Dayton. Some of the exper
iences cited as examples illustrating how savings
can be effected for the benefit of the taxpayer,
are so directly in point that they are worth quot
ing. Here are three cases submitted to prove the
value of closely watching the markets for the
most favorable moment. ;
1. We purchased cast iron water pipe at an
exceptionally low price by going into the mar
ket at the right time, when the iron market was
at its lowest point and the pipe foundries wild
for business to allow them to keep running.
We waited three months after we knew we
would need the pipe until we judged conditions
were right After the purchase was made the
market advanced several dollars a ton within
two months and as we used sixty-three hundred
tons, the saving on this one item was sufficient
to pay expenses of our entire division for more
than four years. . .. ,
2. We contracted for a year's supply of
gasoline on August 1, at 9 cents per gallon,
the lowest point in the market here. The ad
vance to date has been 4 or S cents a gallon.
' and a good prospect of a further advance, ana
as we will use 75,000 gallons, we are already
$3,000 ahead. ! .
' 3. Next spring we expect to build three
bridges which will require approximately 800
tons of reinforcing steel. Instead of waiting
to buy , when we have completed plana ana
placed contracts, or letting the contractor furn-.
ish it at a high price, we purchased it October
1, and at today's market for the same material,
we are $2,400 ahead, and with conditions aa
1 they are existing at present in the steel trade,
we will be $4,000 ahead by the time we need
delivery. . r 1 i
v How Dayton successfully tackled the firs
equipment and supply problem is thus described:
One of our most rsdical departures from
the usual methods in city buying was on a
, purchase this year of $50,000 worth of motor
fire apparatus. The bids as first received were
too high for the available funds rather than
refuse all bids, readvertiae and' probably reach
the same result, we gave all bidders the same
opportunity to. lower their bids', having the re
duction based on our placing the entire order
with one firm. We felt fully justified in doing
this from the fact that all bidders were given '
the same opportunity, that it was obviously to
the advantage of the city to1 buy only one type
of motor, and thus greatly simplify the handling
of the apparatus in the department and reduce
the expense of making repairs in the city gar
age. By taking this stand we saved just 20
per cent of the cost and were able to buy some
extra apparatus.
On fire -hose we combined the strongest
points in several sets of specifications from
other cities and from the Board of Fire Un
derwriter and added several tests and provi
sions which we have found by experience are
of value. We have just received our last pur
chase, for which we paid approximately 45 cents
fer foot, and from laboratory tests and analysis
believe it is as good or better than the hose
we' formerly bought st 85 cents snd $1.00 per
foot. . .,. "
Of course we are not drawing any odious
comparisons, but simply giving the Information
about Dayton, al it is furnished, first hand. We
leave it to folks to form their own conclusions as
to the application to Omaha or any other parti
cular city. ' '
No Bank Monopoly Yet
Although the point Involved may not be set
tled short of a final ruling by the supreme court,
the Acent decision of Judge A, J. Cornish of the
district bench of Lancaster county against the as
sumed right of the State Banking board to refuse
a charter solely on the ground that the community
where it ia proposed to start the new bank is al
ready sufficiently supplied with banking facilities,
has a far-reaching significance.- Judge Cornish
holds unequivocally that, as our Nebraska lawa
now stand, there can be no banking monopoly in
the sense of being protected by law against com
petition of other adequately capitalized and hon
estly managed banks, v
: On general principles, public opinion is against
monopolies, whether in doing a banking business
or selling automobiles, in vending money credits
or grocery credits, and if the people ever Teach
the point of acquiescing in a bank monopoly, they
will probably want it to be a state owned and
state-managed bank. The faet ia that even without
court interference the State Banking board could
not keep down a new bank, amply backed, for a
national charter could be obtained, though denied
a state charter, but to do so would require a cap
ital perhaps not justified by the size of the
locality. What the State Banking board, however,
haa a right to do, and it is its duty to do, is to
protect the deposit guarantee fund against dan
ger and risks, which is quite a different matter.
An existing bank, or a proposed bank, that would
put an extra hazard upon thia insurance fund
could properly be turned down or closed down,
and action along this line could in no way be con
strued aa a policy for building up monopoly in
banking anywhere.

Note : In the war of the American revolu
tion, Benjamin Franklin, who was the first
minister to France, and who negotiated the
first treaty for the colonies with the king of
France, was continually In communication
with Dr. Priestly of London, and David
Hartley, member of Parliament for Hull, and
through them, In unofficial toueh with the
government of England. Negotiations and
understandings established thus. In the end,
ao weakened Lord North that his cabinet
collapsed about the time of the surrender of
Cornwallls at Yorktown, and Lord Rocking
ham came to power with a cabinet filled with
friends of the American colonies. The unof
ficial negotiations set on foot by Franklin
became the basis for the final treaty of
peace.
In July, 1898, a few days after the naval

two weeks later Cardinal Rampolla, acting

as to terms on which peace between the

These steps were entirely unofficial, aa were

Springfield Republican i The alleged delu
sion of Captain Boyd at Carrisal that the
Mexicans "would run," if a fight were to
take place, must have suggested to many
that perhaps the United States army under
estimates the Mexicans fully as much as the
British army underestimated the Boers in
South Africa. The early British .reverses
under General Bullcr were due, In no small
degree, to the low opinion the British regu
lars held of the unorganised and undisci
plined Dutch farmers and cattlemen of the
veldt. The Mexicans have seen a good deal
of war la the last five years, and it is
surely high time not to deny to any race or
Bttemlity abundant physical courage.

Mary Starbuck. in Life.
She's athletic, academic.
But she's the girl for me.
For I've see her all unknowing
With a baby on her knee.
She hugged the dimpled kidder.
And she tossed him to and fro.
And the little fellow gurgled,
For he liked it, don't you know :
And then she aang a ballad,
The kind that makes you cry.
But the kiddy-boy lay smiling,
Looking off into the sky.
Then his eyelids closed so slowly,
And my girlie laid him down.
Kissed hta round head very gently,
Turned and met me with a frown
She may beat at golf and tennis,
May do awful stunts of Greek.
But I've seen the true girlie
