The state of Indiana made its third aad last attempt to establish a state bank in ThIsTank Vas much like Itia predecessor except that the state was not a stockholder. It was driven out of business by uatlonaj law imposing a tax ot ten per cnt on the Issues of all banks except those with a national charter. The present banking laws ware en acted la 1874. There you are.

What a trick, to sure! But of all the plffletferous piffle and the twaddlerous twaddle that ever emanated from human months this Is the most plfflelferous and moat twaaaierous. Kitchener could no more raise 4,000,000 volunteers than he could raise the southeast comer of the pyramid Cheops with his left hand, not a bit more We know, in fact everybody knows, that the masses of people are trying In every way possible to keep out. of the army. Volunteers are not rush Ing forward they cant' even be shoved forward and. fertile mind that conceived that cock and br story about 4,000,000 volunteer! sol diers being ready to cross the Eng lish channel deserves to be crowned as the master mind ot strategical Im agination.

Perhaps Kaiser WUhelm has heard of those 4,000,000, hnd perhaps that Is the reason he Is eolng east Instead of west. Ha, the plot thickens. THE CITY BEAUTIFUL. When the city council passed resolution ordering property owners to icut the weeds on their premises they took a long step forward In line of duty. It is gratifying to be able to say that Alexandria property owners have taken more interest in keeping up their premises in the past year than ever before In the history -of the city.

This is, no doubt, due to the fact that Alexandria on the ltrbole has bad an awakening and that as a result of that awakening the people have begun to realise that It they wish to make of their city something more than a mere country village they would have to be up and doing. For many years, in fact ever since the', cas petered out. the inhabitants of Alexandria got the foolish notion into their heads that the city's last days had They couldn't see for the life of, themselves what was to become of the town. They threw, up their nanas in despair, their heads dropped and they became the victims of an economic and social melan cholia that was pitiful behold, and all because they failed to remember the old adage that it Is a long lane that has no turning. But we have arrived at the turning of that long lane; -in fact we arrived some time ago, and so gradually did wa -approach that urn that a good many of us do not realize even today that we are going in another But such Is the case-.

A drive about Alexandria' will convince the most, skeptical that: what we say about: the changed Conditions In this city are absolutely, true. The people of almost every part of Alexandria have taken a justifiable pride In improving their premises hnd making them look more presentable. Now what we need above all things else In Alexandria is a publlo park or square where the people can gather of an evening and mingle on com mon ground, exchanging, courtesies and Increasing a social entente which will do so much to cedent a com-; munity and bring about a better un derstanding along all civic lines. We could utilise such a square, in many ways. During 'day it coujd be used as a playground by the drea; in the evening we could have, band concerts and publlo speaking.

All these go with a properly developed and refined- eom-munlty lite and have in. themselves the very elements that make for rerl flnement and sympathy small towns ana oues. i One thins that Alexandria lacks toi make it more nearly an ideal home! city, and.

Big the, various forms of amusement now presented a pulsating and vibrating, not to say 'oscillating, public are the censored war reports that perstat in floating' o'er; briny At- lantle to tteae western These reports are so true to color; that all one has to do to know which side 'won is to read the first word In the data line. Thus, if a dispatch begins with the word "Paris' there Is no use to read any farther. We know the French have won. If the word "Petrograd" starts the first line of the news, we may be dead certain that the Russians have won. And ao on down the line.
