Some women work themselves to
death for Christmas. They sit up
nights making Christmas things"
usually things" that require fine needle
work and don't amount TO anything
really practical after they are made.
Their nope is to remember all the
friends with something" And SO they
dig in day and night until by Christ
mas day they are closer to a nervous
breakdown than II they had done their
own washings' for a year.
Some men strain every nerve OF Their
salaries and incomes in order to re
member every one on Christmas"
Where the women work their eyes out
the men spend money that they know
they can't spare and make debts they
will be paying off in installments as
the collector comes round half way to
next Christmas.
Does it pay. this exchange OF Christ
mas presents? Is it worth While?
Wouldn't most OF US take the word for
the deed and a Christmas card for
the handkerchief some cousin or niece
sat Up after mtdnish. to hemstttch or
embroider? What's the use Of it all?
To illustrate: the merchant was tell
ing it. He said hat a few years g
lie ordered a dozen small articles to
give away on Christmas to some of
his customers and friends. He sent
them out on Christmas eve. The next
day a boy called at his home and lef.
a present from one Of the recipients
which had cost eight or ten times the
cost of the little present the merchant
had sent. IT couldn't send it back"
continued the merchant. without Of

keep 1t. And I haven't done any CIV
ing OF the kind since.*
Get what you can for whom you ran.
Give reasonably. Be fair to yourself
as wei as to others on Christmas. Don't
trade. Don't imagine that the person
who sent you a lite remembrance is
anxiously waiting to cash in on a re-
turn and that his ~seasonable compli-
ment was by way Of investment. Peo-
ple don't feel that way about their
gifts. Buy all you can afford. Work
reasonably. Be sane in the Christmas
season.

in the Saturday Evening Post Of No

tant functions of jobbers in the distri-
button OF food products and points out
cearly and convincingly the fact that
the Jobber is Just as indispensable in
this nne as i. the banker IN the world
OF finance. The 1obber is in fact a
great merchandise banker or clearing
house for manufacturers, retailers and
consumers.
Now and then you find some one
striking at the high cost Of living who
insists that the jobbing business is re-
sponsible. But this assertion may be
set down promptly as u wholly to an
absence of Information. The fndivi-
dual making such claim has not gone
into the subject. 1t is due to the ser
vices Of the jobber that every little

customers with the products Of the

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP NONSENSE.
CSioux CITY Journal1


When the Hitchcock amendment ts
voted down let no public ownership
advocate shed q tear on the theory
that a plan for actual public owner
ship OF regional reserve banks has
been defeated. Use of the term pub
lie ownership" in describing the Hitch
cock plan is. as has been previously
pointed out. misleading. Senator
Hitchcock urges that q choice be made
between public ownership as offered
by his amendment and bank owner
ship as offered by the Glass-Owen bill.
In fac h choice is between private
ownership and bank ownership, and IL
makes little difference to the public
which is chosen. Il does make q dit
ference to the banks which would be
glad to be relieved Of the burden Of
ownership Of the reserve Institutions.
The Glass-Owen bin contemplatss
that h banks shall contribute the
capital for the regional reserve banks.
1t allows them a 8 per cent return on
the money thus invested. To bankers
used to receiving larger returns on
their capital the 8 per cent dividend Is
not attractive. and they would prefer
to keep their money for investment
elsewhere. The Hitchcock amendment
gratifies these bankers. It contem-
plates that the capital OF thu regional
reserve banks shall be subscribed by
private individuals to whom the s per
cent return will appear more attrac-
tive than 4 per cen from the savings
bank. This is what Senator Hitchcock
refers to as public ownership. II 1t Is
public ownership then we now have
public ownership of practically all
corporations.
The Hitchcock plan. a1tho 1t doeA
not provide public ownership, does pro-
vide public operation for regional
banks. 1t would allow the government
to appoint a majority OF the directors
of these institutions. This would not
be regulation. but actual operation.
The administration plan lets the banks
furnish the capital and elect a ma
jority Of the directors of the regional
banks. The regional banks are then
regulated by the federal reserve board
In the interest of the public.
Government operation without own
ership is ar economic fallacy such
as is not often proposed for serious
consideration in even the most radical
circles.

press Of this state on the saloon Ques-
ton.
Within ten yearseand ten years Il
q very short period in the course Of
states and peopies-the press express
sion OF the state has practically turned
about face. The press Wa wont to &C.
cept the saloon not always as An evil
and with practical unsnimny a. q nee
essary evil. Today the press OF Iowa
is an unfriend to the saloon. Perhaps
1t would be more clearly q correct state
ment to say that It 10 the saloons enemy.
There remain few daily newspapers
and but an occasional weekly which
still defend the saloon openly. Most
daily newspapers r most cautious OF
condemnation when plain expression
applies to local conditions. The weekly
press of Iowa, however. 10 making wal
1t gays the saloon must go, that there
is no place for it.
AS instances Of this expression tho
excerpts below are fairly representative
Of the spirit and expression Of the Iowa
weeklies.
The Iowa Falls Citizen says the
eventual fate OF the liquor traffic 10
Just as certain as death and taxes. 1t
may take decades, or even centuries.
the Citizen adds. mo matter, 1t Will
CO."
The Manchester Press says that wo-
mar suffrage Is of vastly greater i'm
portance to the interests Of the country
than presidential primaries. for 1t
means the wiping out Of the whisky
traffic and the abolition Of the saloon.
1.-The nation will have to look to the
women for the accomplishment OF this
object" the Press continues, "and the
sooner they are given the ballot the
better, say We"
The Charter Oak Times says: AS
to the liquor problem, We will be bet
ter Off when every saloon and brewery
and distillery in the land has been
closed, but this has been a hard thing
to accomplish.
The Marcus News says: The towns
OF Plymouth county. which nave re-
Gently lost their saloons on account OF
a failure TO get 65 per cent Of the vos-
ers CT the county for their continuance
will not, after a little time, be as dead
as some people imagine. Saloons are
of no benefit to a town and commun-
ity. In saloon towns money is x
pended for liquor that would be ex-
pended for better purposes II no saloon
operated. After a time, In the PLY
mouth county towns there will be more
buying of the necessities of life. The
men who formerly left considerable
money with the saloon mar will buy
better clothing sor his family.
The clippings above are typical and
from typical Iowa weeklies. They might
be multiplied by tens and hundreds.
The daily press is not favorable to the
saloons. 1t, however, fnds it easier
to deal in g~eneralit;es or to stand on
ground when the fight comes
home. But 1t may be asserted with con-
tidence that the newspapers Of Iowa
are done with the saloon and are its
foes. And that Is a mighty change to
come about within so short q
time.
Perhaps the T.-R. may be pardoned
If it refers to a time when it stood
practically alone among state daily
papers as a. open opponent of the sa-
loon: when it entered into the local
contest and fought in the ranks as a
common soldier against an institution
1t believes to De wholly evil and UNI
j~ustidable. There is a satisfaction in
carrying the flag.
