The welfare of its wealth producers
should be the first concern of every
government. There is a wide differ
ence between those who produce and
those who deal in wealth. The dealers
and gamblers in wealth do not add a
dollar to the2wealth of the country, and
there is no good reason why they
should be governmental favorites.

A Denver club Is quoted n.
saying; As a class. clubwomen are
conservative, They closely follow
race inheritance. What they feel Is
expected OF them they do. The world
expects them to be honest: therefore
they do not steal large amounts. The
world expects them TO be virtuous,
n some are Whether they are
equally moral may well be questioned.
Their idea OF truth is very often fem
inine, and their growing tendency To
kleptomanla is alarming. They are
much like children In the way they
eoiduet business ard assume respon
sibility. and their sense OF an obligs
