An experiment which has been con ducted by employees of the Chicago Tribune should prove of Interest to many other newspaper workers. Three years sgo the Tribune em ployees' organized what they- termed the Tribune Employees' Savings bank although it Is not A regularly "brgan ized banking Institution. It has no j>a!d officers excepTlhe financial sec retary, who gets a small sum for keeping theybooks. The bank was organised by the employees them selves, and, while It had the encour agement of the Tribune company, the latter was In no, way responsible for it. . The employees own sll the stock, and. In them Is seated the ex clusive management. Each chars of stock was Issufed at a par value of $12.50, to be paid for in installments of cents a we?t tor fifty weeks.

Balfour, of t)w I'lioakt, is Beady io (Hep la Hit oboes of the Premier .nil Carry Out the Pro. ?*??? UUe l?rieadebip Led Be tween (Government and the lrlah. London, Feb. II. ? Artbn> J. Bal four. Unionist leader, Is ready to step Into Premier Asqulth'a place and car ry out the program on which the tot tering Liberal government faces dis aster. Defied by the Irish, on whom they are forced to rely for power, the Liberals are face to face with defeat, and there was heard on every hand the prediction that this parliament would go down Into history an the most fntile assemblage of the cen tury. There Is evqry Indication that Great Britain will shortly be plunged Into another general election, more bitter than the last. The labor leader renewed debate In the Commons to day. ^The declaration of Balfour after the reading of the speech show that the Unionists plans are well laid, and the way for their assumption of power is ejuy "I believe that the majority of the constituencies of Great Britain are prepared to support the budget," he said, "but It cannot be pretended that Ireland favors It "Not only the lords themselves, but all the parties In the Commons de sire that the upper house be re formed." In those words lies the promise of the Unionists to carry out the pro gram that the nation demands. If the Liberals, as now appears Inevitable, go to pieces. ^ The situation has resolved itself into a rivalry between the main par ties, almost evenly divided, for the favor of the Irish. John Redmond, parliamentary leader of teh Nation alists. declared the independence of hlf party and gave what Is believed to be the death blow to Premier As qulth's ministry contained this slgnt rn -P^t* budget will be throwing away Its most useful weapon, which Is the question of finance, if the premier win give a reasonable assurance that he will be able to chrry the .veto bill to a successful passage this year the Nationalists will vote for the budget, but we are not willing to pay that price for nothing." The Joker In this open play of poli tical forces lies In the fact that in the aid of the Nationalists alone lies the government's liability to fulfill the demands the Nationalists de mand. The lack of support given Asqulth's home rule prc/mlse by his supporters, and the dislike of the Irish budget j)fcause of the heavy liquor taxes It contalu, has left little friendship between tne government and the Irish. M18SIXC3 LINK. The sentimental reasons alleged for and against the admission of women to the electorate have little entitlement to serious consideration, for most of them are artificial. But the argument advanced by a Chicago woman In behalf of those of her sex who are required to pay taxes for support of the government on prop erty owned by themselves Is not to be dismissed so easily. Suffrage does not pertain to every individual citi zen as an absolute right. Even the classes which have the general en titlements of nativity, age and sex must submit to certain qualifications and conditions before exercising the privilege; hut the existence of the American government rests on the principle that taxation carries with; it a right to representation, and It Is difficult to conjure up a valid excuse for denying Its application to female tax-payers, admission to the ballot being guarded as td them by (he same prerequisites exacted of auU?a.

Dealt Henry Blow l?Lth an Iron Bar? Were Frightened A way. Burlington, Feb. 2S.-*?One of the blackest crimes In the history of Bur lington, one depicting the utter de pravity of the perpetrators, was that attempted Sunday morning about 6 o'clock in* which Will and Robert Lee Burch attempted to kill and rob their uncle, Charles Bradshaw. within % few feet of the Southern passenger station here. The two boys, whose parents live in Spray, and whose mother Is a sis ter of Charles Bradshaw. had befcn visiting their uncle and were accom panied by him to the station, where It was their expressed purpose toj board a westbound train scheduled to leave Burlington at 5 o'clock. Mr. Bradshaw told them that he waB go ing to a restaurant where he would procure lunches for them, but was called back and Will Burch -demand ed hla money or his life, and at the same time began using hla knlf(*-^i Bradshaw. He was knocked down by Mr. Bradshaw, but just As this time Robert Lee struck Bradshaw with an Iron bar, knocking him senseless. They were frightened away, however, before they had time to rob the man. Mr. Bradshaw had1 nearly $100 in his pockets at the time of the at tempted robbery, which fact the boys had in some way learned. This attempt at highway rohbary was the second attempt made by Will Burch within twelve hours. During the afternoon of Saturday, while at the small suburban store of John Dickens, Just^ north of the corporate limits, he started at Mr. Dickens with his knife Just as he opened his cash dnrtrer, but was pulled off by his brother, Robert Lee, and another man before any damage was done.

Ex-President Zelaya, of Nicaragua, after a week's stay here, will leave for Paris, thence to Brussels, to join his wife. He In tende'to remain Indefinitely in Brus sels unless recalled to Nicaragua. He announces that In the meanwhile he will publish a book justifying himself snd proving by documents the evil designs of the United States. The real cause of the attitude of the United States toward Nlearrffcua, said the ex-president today, "is the question of the inter-oceanic canal which the United States wished to dig across my country for its own use to the utter exclusion of other world powers. I always opposed the realization of this^ scheme, which would make Nicaragua forever a toy of the United States. There Is no doubt that for this reason the govern ment at Washington always opposed the conclusion of treaties between Nicaragua and the powers of Europe and Asia, and it was to overcome this resistance that the hate of the United States was directed against me and that the United States fomented a revolution against Nicaragua, Gji&ta mala In the person of Cabrera serv ing as an Instrument. "Besides, the United States wlshee Nicaragua to be another Cuba for It from a commercial point of view. This would have been another way to ruin my country, which could< never shake off such a yoke. This; Is the explanation of the actual ^situation in Nicaragua. More tbanAoO Amer ican sbldlers, styling trtSmaelves de serted or" volunteers, fought for the revolutionists. It Is difficult for me to predict the future, but If the revolu tionists win there Is an end to both the liberty and 4he Independence of my country and to the union of the Central American republics which constitutes the bnly barrier to for !el(n cupidities." j PLEASANT EVE The Social at tb?
