must have some Idea Of t." she said,
with what was intended for an arch
sidewise glance.
II have several IDEAS" he admitted,

that hesitate whether to make you
ten years younger on account OF your
looks or ten years older on account OF
your brains" Then while the widow

THE CURSE OF DEBT.

One of the avid phases OF modern
madness is the blind willingness oi
the majority OF people to plunge into
debt, publicly or privately; and the
commercial sharks of the world are
briskly alive to the vast human weak
ness and are prohting by it enor-
mously year by year as the habit
grows and the ways are opened for
continuing the scheme, That the
debts, personal, and civic, of man
kind, exceed the coinage of the earth
and all its representatives, by ten
thousand per cent, cuts no figure with
the ordinary man and citizen; the il
lusive idea is always his, that by run
ming in debt he rs, in fashion, get
ting something for nothing; that he
is prohting by something that poster
ity will have to pay for; that the onus
of the obligation does not rest with
him; that he can evade it altogether
if he so desires; this, OF course, as
applied to his civic engagements.
That human society is actually sub
merged beneath sum of indebtedness
that can never be paid and that its
pail is spreading, blacker and deeper
and vaster, day by day, convicts no
man of the share he bears in the limit
less outrage, nor makes him shame
full for the devastation and wreckage
he is forcing on his bretheren. 1t is
passed up and forgotten, ignored, or
justified by the fimsiest and paltriest
excuses, irrespective of the fact that
his taxes are heaping up year by year,
that the cost of living is enormously
advanced by the system; that mankind
to come, falls heir to the reckless and
sinful waste we are piling UP through
our indifference; all OF which betok-
ems an infamous leyelling of the fine
standards of truth and honor and re
sponsibility that once ruled among
men but which are now repudiated
as antiquated and ineficacious,
Cities and communities are worse !
even than individuals, because Of the
wide scope Of responsibility and the
indireetion Of the burden. The glut Of
interest paid necessarily, and forever,
by the cities, states, counties, dis
tricts, etc. etc, is what the money
shark thrives upon and perpetuates
by every conceivable ruse he can de-
yise; and we, as a people, are IDIOT
cally blind to the universally concer-
ted scheme to wreck us,
Astoria, like all other cities, has
piled up her share of these ruihons
engagements; and is asked to utter
more huge promises to pay great!
Sums out and leave the payment to,
our children and their children's
children. We had better do all the
thinking we are capable of before we
commit ourselves to any more of the
same killing processes, and know
what we are getting and all it is to
cost and how it is to benefit US and
compensate the generations to come
for the heart breaking inheritance we
are providing The curse of debt is
over US ALL.
