CANVAssING FOR SYMPATHY.

All kinds of schemes are worked on
the public for raising money. Per-
haps more than usual appear at a
time when business is slow and more
or less people unemployed. One hes
itates to condemn any honest work.
Yet many little enterprises are so
clearly non-productive that sensible
people may we'll hesitate to undertake
them.
For instance, take the annual army
of young men and women who start
out ~ agents, for books and other
articles. frequently giving the excuse
that they wish to earn money for an
education.
1t would be interesting if one could
know how many of these young hope
fuls acquire in this way the funds that
they desire. Frequently it seems
practically a case of begging. In
such cases they know they would have
no chance of succeeding in it as a
purely business proposition. BY sug-
costing the motive of sympathy for a
young person. they do get some help
that they could not always get on the
basis of the attractiveness of the book
or other articles offered.
1t is an open question if it is wise
for young people to canvass on this
basis. In the long run they will win
out in this world, only by offering peo-
pie the things they want at a price
that completes successfully with other
sellers. To raise money for an edu-
cation on any other basis must give
them a false idea of life. that success
is to be won by means other than
merit.
There are plenty of ways for ambi-
tious young people 10 earn money.
Let them offer TO the world some SER
vice that it really wants. Able bodied
young men can always work their way
through college by taking jobs on
farms, and girls by waiting on hotel
tables. selling food. or performing
domestic service. In such ways they
render a real service, and have the
self respecting feeling that they are
asking for no sympathy but are stand
ing on their own merits

INVITE THEM.

An act that might result in real
benefit TO the state of California and
would be at least a courteous tribute
to a deserving and unhappy people,
would be the adoption OF a resolution
by the state legislature, before its ad-
journment, inviting the Belgian farm
ers who are preparing TO leave Hol-
land, where they have taken refuge,
TO locate in California

were given for spring delivery, a great
many people felt that the war would
be over before this coming summer
Few persons take that view today.
Among manufacturers and whole
sale dealers, the habit OF cancelling
orders IS one of the bugbears Of bust
ness. Goods that are completed or
under way and thus refused may be
all out Of style by another year. The
seller may lose just as heavily as if
the customer had taken them, and
then gone into bankruptcy. This
causes friction and encouragement.
and so common is the habit that it
must restrict business.
From the viewpoint of the retailer.
q cancellation of a previous order is
sometimes necessity for very saliva
ton. If so, a mistake must have been
made at the start in too liberal pur-
chase from some persuasive salesman.
A large order for future delivery is
something that a merchant does well
to ponder with great searchings of
heart While the smooth agent is
talking. it may look very good. After
the buyer has slept over it, he may
have to argue very earnestly with his
better judgment 10 justify the pur-
chase.
Manufacturers say that some deal
ers will carry out a contract even at
a loss TO themselves and even if it is
not legally binding. others cancel
off hand, and order goods with the
feeling that they can stop them at any
time. even if they are finished, and the
manufacturer has TO haul them back
from the freight house. While some
cancellations are no doubt. necessary,
as a whole it is a trade abuse that
tends TO Obstruct business.

Editor Of The News-Times:
In regard to your editorial today
headed Democracy Sets a New
Standard for Indiana for Keeping Of
Party Pledges.
Does the democracy mean to take
the credit for the passage of the
workmen's compensation bill2 Or
ganized labor for the past 10 years
has been the main worker in the in
terest of workingmen compensa-
ton acts not only in Indiana but in
all the states. And il has been be-
fore the legislature here before and
defeated. But public sentiment was
so strong after years Of public en-
lightment by the organized workers
that politicians with few exceptions
were compelled TO recognize the fair
ness and the necessity of such bill.
While the bill is not altogether sat
isfactory to labor yet we are satisfied
to put it to a test for the next two
years TO have II worked out. What
we want is a compulsory compensa-
ton bill which is not possible under
our present inadequate constitution.
But we need calling of a consti-
tutional convention in 1917 so the
people of our state can do away with
lnlS % year Ola ana en-
act a progressive one so our people
and cities can be progressive No
the workman's compensation law
was not given TO us by the democrats
but by strong public sentiment which
no man as a representative of the
people of our state dared to oppose
with but three exceptions who surely
must explain 70 their constituents
back home. Namely. Rep. Overmyer
of LapOrte, Rep. Meyers of Mobiles
vile, and our Mr. Hagerty Of South
Bend. Out of 81 votes cast in the
house for the fellow in the ditch
these three voted in favor of the am
bulance chases and unfair casualty
company and shyster lawyers. hold
ing up the widow and orphans. La
Dor in South Bend wants TO know and
is asking Rep. Hagerty for an ex-
PLANTATION. He was elected by work
ingmen's votes. Why did you vote
against your constituents interest q?
AS a lawyer can it be purely selfish
