REVIVAL OF THRIFT
New American Society Formed
for the Cultivation of the Saw
Ing Habit


From Leslle's Weekly
Our fathers knew the meaning of thrift
but their example has been forgotten. 1t
is no longer The age of thrift. 1t is the
period of the spendthrift. We find him
everywhere. 1t Is easy to make money,
but hard 10 save it, and the spender is
always In the majority.
The thrifty are Knocked and laughed at
and reviled. Extravaganza is having its
golden day. 1t shines with the blaze of
glory. 1t dazzles the eye and quickens
the pulse. But there is a day of reckon
ing, unheeded and unthought OF.
And now we are to fall back to the ex-
ample Of the simple life. We are to be
reminded of the advantage of thrift. 1t
Is high time. Visionary theorists are
wasting effort on ideals too lofty to be
reached. Reformers are urging the Inn
possible and impracticable, and dema-
gogues are leading the crowds along
the highway of unreason, unrest and
unbelief.
It Is a pleasure to turn from all these
to welcome a nationwide movement for
a revival of American thrift. 1t origina
tes with a banker whose own career IL
illustrates the lesson he would teach. 1t
was born in the great western metropo-
lis, Chicago. and 1t Is already becoming
a national movement. 1t is beginning to
be preached In the pulpit. 1t should be
taught In the schools and advocated
from the rostrum.
Thrift does not mean a pinchy miser-
illness or the hardship of great self-denf-
al. Itmeansa lessening of extravagapce;
the cutting off of useless expenditures,
the cultivation of the saving habit, and
preparation, in time of prosperity, for
the inevitable hour of need.
Think of it-$1, 000, 000. 900 a year
spent in the United States ION indul-
gences which not only cannot be de-
scribed as sane pleasures, but which do
positive physical and moral HARM"
This is the language of Mr.. s. w.
Stratus, chairman of the organization
committee of the American Society for
Thrift. He adds this striking comment
on ~present-day conditions:
1--WE are swayed by the agitators and
demagogues-strikes and hard times re-
suit. We yellf for condition which does
not demand thrift. We want a system
which will enable us to become spend
thrifts, to satisfy every whim and follow
every fashion, but we will never get 1t.
The world and life are not built on
those lines.n
The new society will find plenty Of
work to do. Thrift to the American peo-
pie means better and higher living, mob
Ter aspirations, a greater sense OF per-
sonal responsibility, worshipers
In the churches and smaller crowds In
the dance halls and vile places of
amusement. o
Thrift means larger deposits In the
savings banks, greater investments in
reliable securities, fewer victims of the
get-rich-quick schemers, better .homeo,
a happier and more contented people,
and, above all, a returning sense OF APP
probation of the manifold blessings
showered upon the American people by
an ever-kind and indulgent Providence.

FUSIONISTS
Are Confident Of Victory In the
Martins Ferry Election TO Be Held
Soon-Soclalists Losing.

The political campaign at Martins
Ferry is fast drawing to a close. and
the real fiCht seems TO be between
the Socialists and the Fusionists. as
IL is not thought that the partly Re
publican ticket in the field will cause
much trouble. as II has not the back
ing OF the regular Republicans. At
the last city election the Socialists
polled a little more than 500 votes.
while this year IL is thought that
they will poll a little more than hair
that number
There seems TO be no doubt that
the entire Fusion ticket will be
elected. as in the last few days the
ticket has become stronger. and Il is
believed that Weatherson. Fusion
candidate for mayor. will win with a
large majority over Coleman on the
Republican ticket and Wyckon on
the Socialist ticket. The latter
ticket will not be- as strong as for
merly. as the friends OF the two
councilmen who were expelled from
the party a week ago are working
against the ticket
In the last few days several bets
have been placed on the election. and
last evening T. was learned that a
prominent citizen was willing TO bet
$500 that Coleman. the Republican
candidate for mayor, would not carry
his own precinct in the Fourth ward.
straw vote was taken in the Laugh
lin tin house Wednesday evening. and
out OF 33 votes cast u were in favor
OF the Fusion ticket.
