The Recoil of Cowardice.
From Tn, Waterbury American


Mr.. Hughes made a paramount issue in
Maine of the cowardly surrender Of the
President, and of Congress under his lead
ershp, TO the four brotherhoods. This is
one Of the issues about which Maine has
expressed an emphatic opinion. 1t is not It
state Of towards.
But incidental to the Maine vote on this
issue, it is almost beyond a question that
New York City has to thank the President
and Congress for its present situation.
Mr.. Wilson's pusillanimous way of dealing
with very serious situation aroused a
great deal Of strong feeling on both sides.
The managers of corporations like the In
terborough and the New York Street Rail
ways felt that railway heads had been most
unfairly dealt with by the President, which
stirred up their fighting blood On the
other hand, labor leaders felt that at time
like this, with the President and Congress
bowling before them, they could make any
demands with the assurance Of an easy
victory. The heads OF the big traction en-
terprises in New York and the leaders in
the strike element among the men were en-
couraged through the surrender of the Presi-
dent and Congress on the one side TO fight
it out and on the other side TO make strong
demands. The gingerly way in which
Compers has treated the New York crisis
goes to show that he appreciates the po-
litical effect Of the situation, which, through
his yielding friend the President, he helped
to create nationally.
The recoil of cowardice in the loss OF
numerous votes 10 Mr.. Wilson, as things
look at present, is so evident that he who
runs may read

in this vicinity who would like to

Directors have arranged to have
a meeting in the American Office
Tuesday evening, Sept. Is, where
all those who would like to join
can meet with the Board and dis
cuss general conditions and make
arrangements for joining. A be-
ginners class will be started If
there are enough to take UP the
work with affection.
The question may arise, should

the band. / would give the fol-
lowing answer: Anybody who is
old enough and wants to practice
and study will make a good MEM
Der of a band. There need be no
age limit, one way or the other.

but little.
Second, that the wife is the
saving element in the household.
As a rule the man earns the
money and the wife spends it.
To her is entrusted the buying of
the supplies, the care of the
children, their clothes and spend
ing money. Even though the
husband pays the bills. his wife
contracts them. She has time to
shop and he has not.
Third, that the most workable
plan is as follows: Apportion the
income. There are certain fixed
charges in every home, such as
rent, clothing and food. 1t is we'll
settled that the rent should not
exceed one quarter Of the income
"a weeks wage for months
rent" If it is larger, it is out of
proportion and extravagant. You
cannot live on Fifth Avenue with
a Third Avenue income. The
greatest extravagances are pos
sible in the line of food and here
the wife can do her best work.
The cost of clothing can be fair
ly we'll estimated from expert
ence. Educational expenses can
be figured with safety, and rec
reation can be kept within
bounds. The doctor and dentist
may be uncertain quantities at
times yet these need not be ex-

An apportionment should be
made for life insurance and the
savings bank, no matter how
small the latter made be. A

HOW SOME PEOPLE SAVE

The New York Evening Worl d
has been offering a series of cash
prizes for the most sensible plan
of saving as applied to the man
agement of a household, where
the income does not exceed $3.50
a month. A large number of
plans were submitted by persons
in all walks of life, a reading of
which leads to the conclusion
that there are a lot of level
headed people getting somewhere
by good management and def
mite plans of living. A perusal
of these answers would seem to
Justify the following conclusions:
First, that the only method of
saving that proves practical and
permanent is the adoption of a
well defined plan. This means a
scheme of living that provides
for the various expenses inciden-
tai to rearing a family. such as
rent. food, fuel and light, cloth
ing, recreation, education, etc.
No one gets anywhere in particu-
lar by a hit and miss method
of life. This is the reason so
many people are living next door
to poverty all the time. Any plan
of life to be successful must in
clude the determination to save,
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1916-09-21

definite amount for each class of
expenditures and try at least to
keep within the appropriation.
Practically every competitor in
the contest confessed that they
started their financial success
with savings bank account. 1t
was small in many cases, but
grew steadily. The man who
starts out to save will astonish
even himself with results he
never anticipated. 1t is the
small steady savings that count.
Some people divide the weekly
wage into parts, setting aside
enough for each class of expen-
ditures. while others make the
apportionment and keep an ex-
pense account as a guide to de-
termine how they keep within or
exceed their allotment.
To pay each bill out of its par
ticular compartment in the fami-
ly cash box is sometimes impos-
sible, and the simple and effec-
tive way is to merely keep an
expense record, and if the expen-
ditures exceed the expectations,
curtailment or readjustment is in
order.
Lastly, many who have ac-
quired property have done so
through the medium of a debt
incurred helpful debt, such as
mortgage, building and loan
shares, installment home buying,
etc. But look out in incurring
such obligations that they be
within your powers to fulfill, and
the values conservative. Don't
hitch up to more than you can
pull.
The marvel in such experiences
is not that these people saved a
