LEARN TO SPEND.
Prof. Zueblin Says Saving Is More
Dangerous Than Its Opposite.

New York, March 27-"Saving is
more dangerous than spending" Prof.
Charles Zueblin of the University of
Chicago told the League for Political
Education at the romos on Forty
fourth street yesterday. 1.-The French
peasant who can live decently on Moth
Ing year and Markham's man with
the hoe are not individuals to be emu
lated" he added.
People who are going to retire
from business when they have $780,
coo, or a million, can't do it. If they
have waited until then to spend their
money they don't know how. We
must correlate saving and spending.
We must learn to spend and educate
ourselves as we go along. The work
man who works hard six days in the
week does not know how to enjoy
himself. The half holiday each week
is educating the workman to higher
standard of living.
Thrift leads often to a life that is
not admirable. The conditions of the
early jewellers in New England made
the splendid qualities of puritanism,
but they also created qualities which
were a menace to society, and the
Puritan conscience was one of them.
Too much saving is for the individual
advantage, but for the public disad-
vantage.
eff the people put their money
away investments would be of no &C
count. Thrift may lead to niggardll-
ness, and there is a constant danger.
1t eats into the character. Even be-
ginning with saving for the family, it
ends in neglecting the family to save.
We must save something but it is in
constant danger"
AS the most satisfactory method.
Prof Zueblin suggested collective
saving in building associations in in
surance and fraternal organizations.
81 have no doubt" he said, that
I'VE get more nearly our moneys worth
i'm public than in private expenditure
Our city streets may be badly cleaned
but who knows the leakage that goes
out of the kitchen door? New York
has the worst city government in the
eest budget But compare New York
with London and other large cities and
see what is done here and think how
much more might be done with care
full exUenditure."

WILL MARK OREGON TRAIL
Ezra Meelzer Plans Trip Through Kan
sas on Old Highway

Ezra Meeker. the man who is trav-
cling across country with an OK team
for the purpose of locating the old
route of the Oregon trail. is headed
this way, and plans to follow the trail
through Kansas from the place where
the Oregon trail left the Santa Fe
trail in Johnson county, across the
Kansas river at Pappan's ferry, near
Topeka, and thence through the north
ern part of the state along the valley
of the Blue river.
Meeker started from Portland, Ore,
and went across the country with his
team of oxen to Washington, D. c.,
where he was received at the White
House by President Roosevelt He is
now homeward bound, and in letter
written to George W. Martin, secretary
of the State Historical society. from
Jefferson City, he states that he will
follow the Oregon trail through
Kansas.
This trail has generally been called
in Kansas, the Fremont trail, but
Meeker says that Fremont merely fol-
lowed the trail originally made by
earlier oregon settlers. Meeker pros
poses to make a lot of speeches in
Kansas. and get up sentiment in this
state for marking the Oregon trail the
same as the Santa Fe trail has been
marked Mr.. Meeker says that 200
miles of the best part of the Oregon
trail was through Kansas, and he con-
siders that the state has shown lack
of proper discrimination in not mark
ing it.
Mr. Meeker is a wealthy man who
adopts this method of travel for the
purpose of calling attention to the
mission which he has selected. He
was one of the first to travel over the
Oregon trail. and is now anxious to
have this historic highway preserved

cused Of misconduct. If the news Of
the day fails to provide one at home,
if the search of the dispatches fails
to reveal proper subject for such
impropriety, do the next best thing,
must run the order. The world is
searched for salacious subjects. The
slightest excuse for accusation against
some woman, be the excuse provided
by Berlin, Paris, London, New York
or Denver, is made the most of to
permit the paper to pander to the
baser passions of its readers and
serve some reputation up to the
daily appetite for scandal.
Friday evening a respected wife,
an honorable woman, one against
whom the finger of scandal has nev-
er dared to point, was stricken by an
accident that may cost her life. Her
husband was out of town; the fact
that she had been riding in the park
of the Country Club and that q res
pectable young man who is also q
member, happened to be riding with
her, was enough to fill with manu-
featured scandal the space reserved
for salaoiousness and so filed nine
days out Of ten. That the injured
woman would probably die, that her
husband was out of reach and hence
could not deny the story, were deem
ed sufficient guarantee that the pub
lic would have read and digested th e
baseless scandal long before 1t could
be branded the falsehood made of
whole cloth all friends Of the parties
know it to be.
Yesterday it happened that the
name of one pure and innocent wom.
an lowering between life and death
was assailed to sell few extra cop
les and maybe gain few subscribers
among people who like to take into
their homes soch gossip. Tomorrow
the space will be to fill again and it
may be your wife or daughter to be
served up in the same way. In that
case will the tale read as delectsbly
as did this one of Yesterday? You
may say that your wife and daughter
would never give excuse for such
scandal; no more did the woman
whose life is about to go out under
malicious lie her lips may never be
privileged to refute.
Oh the shame, the unmanliness Of
it all! The shame of besmirching
good names to garner toll of PEN
Republican.
