A. It is customary for Congress
to extend the courtesy of free use of
the mail to the widows of former
Presidents. Special bills to this ef
fect have been passed with regard
to Mrs. Hardirtg and Mrs. Wilson,
and their autographed signature on
the face of an envelope is recognized
as entitling their mail to the same
treatment as though it bore a regular
postage stamp .

Q. Most people get out of debt at
intervals in their lives, but how about
this “national debt” of ours? Have
we ever been without it?
A. Cheer up, under President
Andrew Jackson the national debt
was reported as totaling $37,000 on
January 1, 1835, and a few months
later it was completely wiped out.
Even now, it is being gradually re
duced, and if the Nation should keep
out of its occasional wars the nation
al debt could tie paid. National debts
are essentially “war debts.”

Tlie Secret Of Success
The secret of success is hard work and
clear thinking. The industrious person
earns more than his necessary expenses,
and the thinking person saves this surplus
and deposits it in a GOOD STRONG BANK.
It is never too soon to begin saving. Get the
habit of saving. The sooner you start the *
greater will be your success.
Financial success is simply a matter of
sticking to your saving habit—making your
character stronger than any temptation to
spend. Nobody saves much at a time. Ev
erybody can save a little at a time.
Try the saving habit and see how fast;
the small change will grow into dollars, and
the dollars into tens and hundreds.
We invite you to start an account with
us. It will be appreciated, whether large or
small. We will give you Safety and Service.

Q. How many men at sixty-five

a good many people to death before
that age but the survivors who meet
the question are six in one hundred.
Q, What is the estimated wealth
0t the United States, and how does
It compare with Great Britain?
A. Honorable Theodore Burton,
Ortio is a member of the World Debt
funding Commission, estimated our
OW« wealth variously from $220,000,-
4100,000 to $280,000,000,000, and that
pi Great Britain at only about $80,-

p third as much as ours.

Q, What was the origin of the
$Utj system?
A. The origin of trial by jury is
pot traceable to any single legisla
tor or any particular period. It
§ppm$ to have had its beginning in
certain primitive customs of north
ern European races and received spe
cial developments from different na-
ttons. By the Anglo-Sanona a per-
gpn who was accused of crime was
permitted to summon twelve of his
neighbors, called compurgators, who
firore to his innocence. This was
the origin of an institution which
took settled and vigorous form after
the Norman Conquest, gradually de
veloping into its present form.

Q, What was the purpose of the
Geological Survey expedition through
the Grand Canon of the Colorado
River last year?
A. Colonel C. H. Birdseye was in
Charge of this expedition, which made
• careful and complete survey of the
power resources of the Colorado
River.

A. A meteor in a state of incan
descence, caused by friction when
Q. Please tell me by whom, and
how, the Ku Klux Klan originated,
and what was its purpose?
A. This is a sort of double-bar
reled order*, since the Ku Klux Klan
was first founded as a political or
ganization in Tennessee early in 1868.
It had 500,000 members, and their
object was to oppose the reconstruc
tion acts and the elevation of the
colored race and to prevent the latter
from exercising the franchise obtain
ed in the Civil War. The movement
was in the interest of the complete
supremacy of the Burbon whites in
the South, and it was likewise di
rected against the invading Northern
ers who came either as officials or
“carpet-baggers.” The new Ku Klux
Klan played copy-cat to the name and
ceremonies of its ancester. It was
organized in 1916, with its founder
Colonel W. J. Simmons of Atlanta,
Georgia, as “Imperial Wizard.”
Later on W. H. Evans came into the
organization as secretary, and under
his directing management a great
membership was secured. The new
Klan has been active in the politics
of some States, and it has directed
itsxenergies particularly against three
races against whom it seems to have
hooded but ill-defined prejudices.
The national organization is declin
ing.

Q. What Presidents of the United
States have died west of the Missis
sippi River, and what ones are buried
in that region?
A. President Harding died in San
Francisco. No other Presidents have
died or been buried west of Indiana,
except Abraham Lincoln, who was
buried at Springfield, Illinois.
Q. I am a Filipino and I am now
living in the United States. Why is
it that Presidents in the United
States are chosen as the result of.
two elections, while they are voted
for but one time in the Philippines?
A. The confusion in tire question
is due to the unfamiliarity of the
questioner with affairs in the United
States. The “presidents” elected in
the Philippines are the municipal or
town presidents who are equivalent,
to the mayors in the States. Evi
dently the questioner regards the
primaries as a separate election, thus
making what he regards a double
election. Municipal presidents are
elected by a direct vote of the people
in the Philippines and they serve
three years .
Q. By what authority has the
franking privilege been given to Mrs.
Harding and Mrs. Wilson? How is
this mail distinguished in the post
offices?
