POSTAL SAVINGS HERE
GET ACQUAINTED
Tonight, Friday, Sept. 29th
the Epworth League will give
reception to the teachers of the
public school, and every parent
that has aT child in- the school
should take advantage of this op
portunity to meet and get ac
quainted with the teachers. It
may prevent a large number of
mistakes during the present term
of school.
A teacher is often seriously
handicapped by not being person
ally acquanted with the parents
of the scholars. Boys and girls
are apt to carry tales home about
their teacher which are without
foundation, and parents, never
having met the teacher and not
realizing that he or she is truly
interested in the pupils welfare,
too often believe them and make
trouble that could have been
avoided.
St Helens has a corps of teach
ers this year of proven ability,
but the school cannot be the sue-
that it should be unless the par.
ents of the scholars co-operate
with them in their work. When
some kid goes home with tears
in his voice and a big lump in
his throat as the result of a well
deserved lecture, andninety nine
times out of every hundred they
are deserved, it is pretty hard on
the teacher to have some doting
mother put her arm around him
and tell what should happen to
that bad, bad teacher. From
that'time on the kid thinks that
no matter what he does at school
he will backed up in it by his
parents, and as a result there
are apt to be numerous clashes
with the teacher.
When the kid comes home in
the aforementioned pitiful condi
tion, some parents have a habit
of "panking him and sending him
back, and such a spanking is as
good as six months of school, in
an educationcl way.
While perhaps the whipping at
home could be dispensed with
every time the child gets in trou
ble at school, nevertheless during
school hours parents should place
the teacher in complete charge
of their children, and be very
slow about finding fault Never
should a doubt of the teacher be
expressed in the pupils presence.
On the 25th of October, the
coming month, the postoffice at
this place will commence receiv
ing deposits for the U. S. Postal
Savings Department. In what
way this will be of benefit to the
people of St Helens we fail to
see.
The government pays 2 per
cent on all sums deposited at the
postoffice, and if at any time one
of the depositors wants his
money, he would have to wait at
least a couple of weeks to get it
from Washington, D. C. On the
other hand, we have here a bank
which is absolutely sound finan
cially and yet pays twice as much
on savings as the government
and when you patronize the local
institution your money is where
you can put your hand on it any
day.
Another fact to be considered
is that a good bank always figures
prominently in the growth and
building up of a town. When
you deposit your money with a
bank, it acts as a thorougnly re
sponsible agent, loaning this de
posit for you, possibly to your
next door neighbor, to enable
him to make improvements that
will increase the value of your
property. Thus depositors in
their local .bank not only get
more interest than the depositor
who leaves his money at the post
office, but are materially benefit
ted in other ways,
The Postal Savings Bank may
have a field in large cities, and
it will undoubtedly get a large
amount of money that is now
cached away in old socks and to
mato cans, but for the people of
this city there are any number
of better things to do with their
money than sink it at 2 per cent
When the matter of adopting
or rejecting the single tax comes
before the voter of this State he
will have something to puzzle
over. If the voter reads only
the literature of the single tax
advocates he will think it is the
the greatest thing that could be
introduced here; but a perusal of
the arguments against it are apt
to leave him so high up in the
air that it is hard to say on which
side of the measure he will alight

WERE THEY JUSTIFIED?
The coal mining industry in
Oregon, according to Mr. Parker,
fs suffering from the great in
crease in production of petro
leum in California and its use as
fuel for domestic purposes as
well as for railroads and manu
facturing. The production of
coal in Oregon decreased from
87,276 short tons in 1909 to G3,
241 tons in 1910, a loss of 24,035
tons, or 27.54 per cent The
value decreased $10,966, or 4.66
per cent from $234,085 in 1909
to $254,119 in 1910. Only two
mines, the Newport and the
Beaver Hill, both in Coos County,
ship coal in large quantities, the
shipments being made almost
entirely by sea to San Francisco.
Sister Sheafs and Brother Gel-
Iette. of the Shaker colony, at
Kissimee, Florida, are charged
with the murder of Sister Mar-
chant. They admit their guilt
according to the written law of
State, but plead the higher law
in justification. Sister Marchant
was suffering from an incurable
disease. Death was imminent
and she was undergoing torture
every moment her life was pro-
onged. She begged her co-re-
igionists to mercifully admister
chloroform, and put an end to
her sufferings and her life. There
is no dispute about the facts and
no attempt at concealment. Their
intentions were not cruel but
merciful. In olden days the
suicide was burned at the cross
roads with a stake driven through
his body, and today orthodoxy
teaches that such a one is doomed
to an eternily of torment, no
matter what stress of suffering
may have caused the deed. It
wa3 taught and is taught today
that man must suffer until the
inevitable end. The body may
be racked with unbearable pains,
the mind may be dethroned from
its citadel, and yet we are told
