The city council convened Saturday evening in special session to take action . relative to construction of concrete walks along both sides of C street beginning at a. point connecting with the ; present concrete walk at the rear of the Hug building,- running in a .

The work has been done hurriedly and wastefully, as is' always the case in an emergency. .

It is obvious that the averagd buyer of bonds cannot find out for himself whether or not the document he re ceives is genuine or counterfeit. If he buys from an irresponsible person he may very well acquire only a worthless piece of piper. Yet the average bond buyer need hot buy in fear of any such impos tion. If he will remember a few sim ple things he may feel secure from the counterfeiters: The bond offered for sale is mere ly a piece of a definite mortgage. The mortgage is deposited with some re- sponsiuie trust company, nans; or in J..!.l I 1 ! 1 1, making of dyes.

A Michigan million aire estimates that the coke ovens of Pennsylvania waste enough heat to bake bread for the entire? nation But with these superb natural. resourc es and a tariff written to encourage their use, Germany has been permitted to maintain year in and year out a practical monopoly in dyestuffs, by . the application of superior initiative to inferior resources. , The best fea ture of the ' situation is that the drowsy surrender of American capital has broken down at last, although a world war was required to do it. . The worse " feature is the revelation of our commercial lassitude and extrav agance. How far these have been fostered by the protective tariff will be argued in the 1916 campaign.
