THE CANDIDATE AND HIS VOICE

Col. Roosevelt, being ordered by his
physician to quit campaign speaking
OF account Of weak throat, may
now reflect on the connection be
tween vocal cords and political sue
cess. A bad throat has often upset
governments and shifted political
history.
Not long ago a campaign orator
was expected to make but two OF
three speeches day. He would
lelsurely travel from hall OF hail. His
voice was compelled merely to meet
tie strain common to all Legislators
and awyers.
Today the race for ballots puts the
orator in a flying automobile. Crowds
OF voters gather at the cross roads
in much the same spirit as on annual
circus day. The candidate must
talk twentythirty, or more times a
day His voice is lost in the i'm
mersity of out doors. To make peo-
pic hear, he must rasp his throat
1t is the most sensitive tissue in the
bcdy. Not one in twenty has one
made of rubber or gutta percha.
So most politicians voices go bad
Tie colonel's voice has a queer fall
setto trick, due to this kind of use
It looks as if he were trying to make
people laugh by voice antics, but his
friends say he can't help it, that II
is condition brought on by over
use
Theoretically, the voters read the
speeches in the papers and make u:
their minds on facts, logic, and argu-
mcnt. Actually the campaign auto
mobile speech gathers in the votes
People are moved by the persona
cert tact. If a man shows that he has
force, alertness, capacity for swift
trust and parry, and if he plays
skillfully on the mental attitude o
the nearer, he gets the votes, ever
if the 5-minute speech is only kline
of chow dye do-good-bye." The maj
with the leather throat has a Ions
| start.

These figures and many more like
them are the measure Of what is
largely popular extravaganee.S
We could do without very large
part of the things represented by
those enormous figures, and be just
as we'll off-yes, great deal better
Off
But it would be foolish, if it were
possible, to shut off such foolish ex-
penditures suddenly unless the money
SO saved by individuals were put to
good use either by the savers them
selves or by the bank in which they
deposit the money.
This brings up the point which is so
often raised by persons who fail to
see any economic good in saving.
They say that the spendthrift gives
employment to others and that his
| money gets into the bank eventually
even if he deposits none OF it there
himself.
That is all very true, but how much
better it is to have the mon used con-
structiyely in ways which mean So
briefly. industry home ownership, in
tegrity. good citizenship and educa-
ton of children. Saving just for the
sake of saving is not advocated.
Thoughtful, purposeful saving is the
thing.
Genuine. constructive thrift has an
important bearing upon industrial and
national progress as we'll as upon the
material success of the individual.
Here are a few examples of what is
meant by constructive thrift:
The invention of the engine burning
oil as fuel instead of coal
Intensive cultivation of land as
conducted by a Maryland family that
makes $4,000 year from 20 acres
of flowers and vegetables.
The school, back yard and vacant
lot gardens, which help lower the
cost of living.
Applying the principles Of thrift to
methods of bricklaying by cutting out
superfluous motions, as was done by
F. B. Gilbreth.
The new scientific management OF
business generally, including the es-
tablishment of bureaus of standards
by municipalities to save the peoples
money in buying supplies for public
use.
The commission form of government
in cities, and irrigation and other
conservation projects as conducted
by the government.

crly possible objection there could
be to the fullest publicity for all
matters pertaining 10 public business
would be on the score of expense,
and it is probable that the saving
to the public exchequer by the publ
cation of the full details of public
business would far more than offset
the expense.
