PATERNALIBM OR DEMOCRACY?
In the latcat Isaue of The Commoner,
Mr. Bryan’s paper, ho warns the demo
crats of the nation that the Imiup of
prohibition facet) them. Hays The Com
moner:
The liquor Interests are al bay;
tlicy are on tins defensive. They
realize that they have but a few
tnoro yearn In which to fatten upon
the wood of Ihetr victims, but they
are Ugh ting desperately.
The democratic party cannot af
ford to shield the brewery, Iho dla
tlllery and (ho naloon from the
rising wrath of a determined peo
ple. Democracy is the nation's
hope on political and economic
queatlona let II not, by taking
aides with the liquor internal*, re
pel those who put moral lasuos
first.
The liquor Interests are a mlll
atone about the parly's neck.
It Is extraordinary to ns that Mr.
Bryan should seek to merge the na
tional prohibition party and the demo
cratic parly. We du not believe that
i the democratic pah) la threatened
with domination l>>”tli« liquor Inter
ests, any more than we believe that
the democratic party can be true to Its
principles of stales rights and local
self-government white undertaking to
dictate nation-wide temperance pol
ley from Washington.
We admire Mr. Bryan for hla per
donal convictions on the liquor ques
tion. We even go so far u» to ad
mire his grape Juice social outrages,
but when his enthusiasm for the
cause of temperance comes In con
flict with the essential principles of
Uho democratic party we must re
spectfully diverge from the secretary
it state.
Nation-wide prohibition Is a policy
which cannot be cut loose from patera
tliHin. We do not mean by thla that It
would not give us pleasure to see tem
perance and sobriety practiced in every
corner of tills expansive country. Noth
ing would give us s more certatu con
V let 101 l that the people of the United
Stales were destined to become tliei
best and greatest people in the world, |
but this devoutly to be wished for con*
wummattoii will never be brought
about by a nation-wide prohibition
movement. The democratic party can
never be true to Us principles of free
will government If It undertakes to
atand for nation-wide prohibition.
It Is possible, howfvir, that Mr.
Bryan does not Intend thta as n warn
Ing that he In preparing to bring about
a coalition between the national pro
hibitionists and the democratic party,
hut that he deatreii merely to diaauade
liquor men from contributing too gen
erally to the democratic party. In
refutation of his assumption that the
liquor Intereats are ns a tnlllatona
about the party's luck. It Is pointed out
that
Tlia prohibition sentiment in tbe
democratic Houih is much stronger
than In tbe republican North. Vir
ginia, a democratic state, adopted
prohibitum this fall, while Cali
fornia, a progressive-republican
state, overwhelmingly rejected It.
Senator Penrose, In Pennsylvania,
owed Ills victory for reactionary
republicanism In no small part to
tbe support of what Mr. Bryan
would call the saloon crowd.
So far as the real progress of so
briety goes we have never been able
to se<- but one way of achieving It
It must l>e a •'conversion." man by
man, community by eommunlty and
slate by state. State-wide prohibition
amounts to worse iltsn none unless
the separate communities accept tt
and abide by it Nation-wide prohi
bition, foisted on unprepared and un
willing communities and states, would
result merely In greater lawlessness,
more arrogant defiance of authority
and a hopeless breaking down and
confusion of our governmental insti
tutions.
Let us hope that Mr. Bryan is not In
dulging In the sweet and Impractical
dream of making this a grape Jutes
country by edicts from Washington.
DRUSILLA'S RETURN FROM THE

One night Boh by Jones wag sur

was a long time since he had beard it,
and he popped bis head out of his box,
and to his surprise he saw Drusllla
sitting In her old plaoe In the corner.
"Why, Drusllla, when did you get
home?” he aaked, "I am so glad to

"We returned this afternoon,” replied

“Oh, yes; In a way I did,*’ said Dm

much society, and longs for the quiet
of their own home. Why, Bobby Jones,
some nights I did not get any rest, and
then next day 1 had to go Just the
same.”
"*io where?" asked Bobby.
"Why, out in society, of course,” said
iniisllla, "Of course, you do not know
anything about society np here In the
playroom, but It means going to teas
and receptions and dances and dinners

THE WAYS OF THRIFT

United Stars renditions for the policy
holder steadily had grown worse. In
1887 the rates wwc on the average
nearly 12 per cent higher than the rates
prevailing from 1879 to IHB7. In IH9#
they were again Increased about 8 per
cent on the average over the rates fix
ed In 1887, and they remained at that
level until shortly after September,
1906. Other conditons were equally un
favorable to the policy holder.
In 1906 the MiiNiMU'huseUs Savings
Hank Insurance league watt organized
by public spirited citizens for educa
tional purposes. It undertook to fa
miliarise the people with the evils Inci
dent to the then existing system of In
dustrial life Insurance and to point out
the advantages of the Massachusetts
plan of savings bank Insurance.
Four banks established Insurance de

THE INITIATIVE IN THE
GERMAN MLITARY
MACHINE
The German soldier ha* sometimes
bran charged in the new a papa m with
a lack of Initiative. Bo general la thta
Idea tlutt a reviewer of General Bern
hardt's book on OaviUry reoontly ex
pressed aurprlae that thta German
writer throughout Insisted on the de
velopment of Initiative. The point la
taken up in a discussion In the Kney
rlopedla Britannloa of the German
training of officer* t'nntrastlng It
with the Brttlah methods. the Brltan
nli'a says:
“The German* attend more closely to
detail being even mlcruavopl.M
and It ban been aald that a little grit
In the German military machine would
oatiae a ceaaatlon of Ita working. Un
fortunately for this argument the
German army ha* not yet given any
eigne of cessation of work, no few
deviation* front the aniooth working of
the military machine being permitted
that tha Introduction of grit into this
alr-tlttht caaing I* practically tmpoa
atble. At the ana time th* German
officer la trained to have Initiative and
to use (hat Initiative, but he 1* ex
pected to be discreet in the «*e of It
and consequently undue Insistence on
literal obedience to Instructions (as
distinct from forms! ordersl, and un
due reticence on the p«rt of senior,
especially staff officers, Is held to be
dangerous, In that the regimental of
ficer. If ignorant of the military sit
uation may, by acts of Initiative out
of harmony with the general plan, aerl
ouely prejudice the lsspe. The Ger
mans attach special importance to in

Wonderful Achievements
of 22-Year-Old Belgian
Pari*. No Belgian eol.lier Is re
cel ring more arrlalm In the French
press than Bmlle Sapin. who. at the
ag* of SI. has received the decoration
of the Order of Leopold and the croaa
of the Lexica of Honor. Ue Matin eon
esses It could not betters all the bril
liant exploits attributed to thta young
man, who was • private whan the mar
a nice, quiet timp now, and can rest.”
"That Is Just what I want to talk
about," said Drusllla. "We should have
society here, and not be so Intimate
with everyone In this room. We should
he In a set by ourselves and not speak
to everybody. I am going to be very
careful to whom I srs-ak after this.”
‘‘Will you speak to me and Teddy
Bear?" asked Bobby, in an anxious
tone,
"Oh, yes; we have been friends for
so long I could not think of dropping
you." said Drusllla
"Oh, dear! Do you have to drop all
those you do not speak to.” asked
Bobby. "I should think it would hurt
them."
“oh. Bobby Jones' You are so un
sophisticated,” said Drusllla, with her
hands upheld. “You do not drop them
that way; you Just do not notice them
at all.’’
Bobby’s eyes were open very wide
now, and he only said "Oh!” In reply
to Drusllla. The shutters of the pa
per doll’s house opened wide, and she
looked out.
“I might have known that your
friend had returned, Bobby Jones,” she
said; "no one will be able to have a
night’s rest now until she has related
her so-called adventures. I guess if
the truth was known, though, she ha*
been In the bottom of a trunk most of
the time.”
But Drusllla had turned her back,
and was busy looking at a book.
When the paper doll had closed her
shutters, with u hang, Drusllla turned
around.
“Why didn't you tell paper doll you
knew all about society?” asked Bobble.
"She Is not in our set,” replied Dru
silla. "I have dropped her, and now
you see what I mean by dropping peo
ple. If you keep your eyes and ears
open, Bobby Jones, you will learn all
about and Its ways from me
Good night.”
Bobby Jones said "Good night” to
Drusllla, but It was a long time after
be slid Into his box before he closed
bis eyes.

Therefore the net cost to the Insured,
for Instance, in the fourth year Is, on
the average, about 82 per cent less, and
in the fifth year 36 per cent less than
the present rates of the private Indus
trial companies; and the cost of insur
ance furnished by the latter iexpressed In
the amount purchased by a given week
ly premium) has been repeatedly re
duced since September, 1906, so that to
day it Is about 20 per cent lower than it
wiiß. The public now come to the banks
and apply for insurance. The estab
lishment of the Insurance departments Is
also developing the habit of saving In
policy holders.
"Of this,” says the treasurer of one
of these hanks, "we have striking evi
dence in connection with the opening of
new deposit accounts at the times when
dividends are declared on the policies,
and at the times when policies are taken
out.”
The weekly premiums collected by the
Industrial insurance companies from
Massachusetts wage Varners each year
exceed $10,4)00,000. The saving to the
Massachusetts policy holders in the pri
vate companies which has resulted from
the competition of Its state-sided system
is nearly 12,000,000 a year, while the
Commonwealth’s contribution to the ex
penses of the system ha* averaged less
than $15,000 a year.
The Improvements made by the private
Industrial Insurance companies as a re
sult of the Massachusetts plan, have, of
course, been extended throughout the
Vnlled States. When It is remembered
that the aggregate premium income of the
Industrial policies in the United States
Is now about sll6 000.000 a year, it
seems clear that the industrial policy
holders throughout the country are to
day buying their Insurance for at least
$30.000,000 a year less than they would
have had to pay for the same amount of
Insurance had the rates jfrevalllng prior
to September, 190#, remained In force.

ffOW HELEN HELPED
CHAPTER XL—A DANGEROUS STRATAGEM
As Helen left tlje office with just a
“good night” it her way out Frank
thought It strange, as she usually
stopped at his desk for a few words.
This time, however Helen was going
to meet Paul Van Buren, and she did
not want Frank to know of her ap
pointment. Paul was waiting for her,
and said: "Come on, Helen; I know
a nice, quiet little restaurant where we
can have a nice dinner and talk.” So
they walked around the corner and
down the street. As they came to a
poorly-lighted part of the sidewalk
Helen noticed a big limousine purring
alongside the curb. The next thing
she realized she was In It with Paul
Van Buren sitting beside her as they
whisked down the street.
"What does this mean, Mr. Van Bu
ren?” demanded Helen, “and where
are we going?”
“Oh, we are Just going to a little Inn
I know of, where we can talk and
there will be no one to disturb us.”
As they glided along in the big si
lent car Helen was Just about as scared
as she had even been In her life, but
she resolved to bluff it out and not let
Paid know she was frightened. Van
Buren tried to be very nice. He told
Helen of his love for her and wanted
her to go away with him.

Columbus, Ga,—-The Industrial Index
says in its issue for this week:
"The lasi month of tlie year gives dis
tinct promise of coming under tlie wire
a business winner, bringing this sec
tion and the whole country to the be
ginning of a period of the greatest
prosperity It has ever known.
"Confidence, the Institution of the
regional banks with millions in their
vaults, the opening of the cotton ex
changes, the upward trend of the price
of cotton, the completion of the $135,-
000,000 cotton loan plan, the resumption
of the making of largo loans at low
rates on real estate and cimtlar securi
ties for improvement purposes, the re
ception of ordtWs from Europe for many
millions—and growing—of American
goods and products, the Increasing ac
tivities in manufacturing circles—these
are some of the mighty factors that have
begun to send an electrlcfying energy ot
millions of money power through every
line of business.
"Business was retarded by a lack of
confidence and a lack of money. Confi
dence lias returned, and money is being
provided. Not long ago, bankers, man
ufacturers and business men generally
began to talk optimistically. Now they
are confident that the beginning of 1915
will witness the coming of a high-water
mark of prosperity. American farms
and factories and mines must supply a
great |x>rtlou of the world. Never since
Columbus landed have there been such
markets and such business possibilities
for this country as it is to enjoy.
“The exports of this country are ex
panding nt an almost Inconceivable rate.
Orders for millions of dollars worth of
American goods and products are hetng
received every week in this country from
abroad.

All this time Helen was busily think

about his forging the check for which
Frank had been accused. They final

where Van Buren ordered a very elab
orate dinner, all though which he drank
:arge quantities of champagne. Ha
nsisted that Helen do likewise, but
she excused herself with a laugh, say
ing it would only make her feel sick,
and that would spoil the fun. But, try
as she would, she could not induce
him to say anything about the forged
check. Then Helen coaxed him to
give her Just one day to think over
going away, and in the meantime to
take her home at once.
On the way back the cahmpagne had
its effect, and when the car reached
Helen's home she darted out of the
car, leaving Van Buren asleep and—

returning,—H. C.

To anticipate is to think and to act
ahead.
It is not only looking to the future—
it is acting before the future happens.
The clever retailer is the one who an
ticipates the wants of the consumer.
In this city there are thousands of
consumer wants created by advertising in
these columns.
On the shelves of every store are pro
ducts that will fill these wants.
To bring the consumer and his wants
together, the merchant who anticipates
new business keeps a special eye on the
products advertised in the newspapers.
He keeps these articles out in the light
where the consumer who has been influ
enced by the advertising will see them.
