splendid suggestions and Governor

esty and insincerity in their actions,
the most fragrant of which were the
nomination of TT. Kelly, an embezzIer
for the office of state treasurer and the
nomination OF 0. D. Walker for rail-
road commissioner. Here are two pro-
nounced incidents that prove the
Globes statements that when they said
they wanted reform they did not mean

Sage to the effect that he never has
taken a vacation in his life; that the
vacation habit is the outgrOwth Of alb
normal or distorted business methods
and that man is less fitted to do
good work for his employer after two
weeks rest each year than he was be-
fore.
When was a boy said the veteran
hnancier, the practice was not in
vogue During the So years Of my ca
reer I have not once taken a vacation.
AS a matter of fact I was so glad TO
get i chance % learn business that
the idea of asking my employer to
make me a present Of two weeks Of the
time that belonged to him would have
been preposterOus. Besides. I was
eager to advance in business.
rs it not absurd . suppose that
man can in two weeks recuPerate
from the wear and tear of a years
work. On the contrary, I have too
often observed that men will. while
on their vacations. make inroads upon
their vitality and purses that can not
be repaired in the following eleven
months and two weeks.

nomical of his time, conserve his

Thousands of working men are being
laid off in the east. other thousands
are being subjected to a reduction of
wages. In some cases industries are
closing down or working on short time.
Business conditions may justify this
course on the part of the corporations,
but it looks more like a systematic
movement on the part of the moneyed
interests to create a condition which
will make for the defeat 6 President
