ABOUT ECONOMY.
Regular Reader of Warrington Her
aid Gives Views.

Editor The Washington Herald
am a regular reader Of your valuable pa
per and would be lost without IL Your
editorials have been a great help 10 me
and I wish to congratulate you on them.
I am sending you few lines which have
written on Economy" as a contribution
to your editorial page.
Recently the meaning Of the word
Economy has come to me in a new
light Ny old conception Of the word
was. that most Of the joy Of real living
depended on practicing economy; to he
economical meant wealth
To the lack Of practice in economy I
attributed my lack OF wealth. I never
saw the humorous Qutrks and turns Of
economy to their fullest extent until re-
Gently. OF course knew that. like
everything else. It had its humorous side.
but the remarks Of some Of my economi-
cal friends broadened out my views some
what. For example: One Of my thrifty
friends made this remark: 7 never 60
to the uloving-picture theater. and by
economizing in this way I save a great
deal Of money" This friend is a butcher
and I said to him: I have saved a lot
lately by eating less meat"
That is no way to economize," said
my friend: don't you know that will
have to 60 out Of business If many Of
my customers get as stingy as you2" This
set me to thinking and I asked lot OF
my friends what they thought Of econ
omy and without exception they said Il
was fine to be saving and economical. One
who was a barber said he was econo-
mixing IN the use Of macaroni. but when
told him I was planning to shave my
self in the future, he said: You cheap;
no liker you" Ny grocer said he was
doing with less help in his store and saw
ing good money by It. but when I told
him I was going to deal with a well
known CUt-price grocer he said I was
poor trash. My laundry man said he
was saving money by hiring cheap help,
but on my telling him I could save a
lot by going to Sam Low. he said: You
are getting so common you had better
60 and live with the Chinks; you would
have a fortune" A moving-picture man
said: Il work in quite a good many
old reels and economic in this way"
When I told him I was going to cut out
going to the movies, he said was 8 fool
I investigated the matter from every
point OF view and now I have come TO
the conclusion that while economy may
be a good thing for me It is usually bad
for the other fellow.

OCTOBER. p
Now comes the chill of Autumn days
A welcome chill in sundry ways
Since with it comes a vigor rare,
And glorious drafts of clean crisp air
That stimulate the heart and mind
To effort Of strengthful kind.
The frost plays havoc with the green,
Yet earth takes on a gayer mien,
And dons a garment of such tint
It seems to hold the rainbow int,
As if to make a time of cheer
And beauty of the passing year.
The trees are scarlet to the eye,
And deeper grows the blue OF sky.
Indeed all Nature seems to dress
In garments of sheer wantonness.
That she may rest in memory
A thing OF gladness, joyously.

1t seems to be a fact that the minor servitors

A group of stonemasons or bricklayers dis
cussing during the noon hour the proposal of a
strike in all trades, would very quickly reach
the conclusion that it was sheer madness and
impossible "Let the people go hungry. 1t will
help their digestions," says Mr. Bohm, secretary
of the Central Federated Union. Who would
first feel the cravings of hunger? Years ago
Jean Jaures told the Socialists and Syndicalists
of Paris that the idea of the general strike was
preposterous, for the strikers would be the first
sponsible labor leaders that the threat of a
strike in all trades is still heard. The men them

1t has been argued that war actually helps
the masses of people in modern states because
the masses play dual role, first as humanity in

that vehicle of commerce, and the scarcity results
in higher wages, better working conditions, and

The Lyric Theater has secured for
presentation here some time in the
near future the famous play THE
Melting Pot" 1t will be recalled that
this play was read last winter by
Prof. Clark at one Of the Lyceum en-
tertainments. This play is present
ed by an all star cast and is recog.
nized as one of the finest PLAYS on
the boards today. The lyric manage.
ment is certainly to be congratulated
for bringing to Logan a masterpiece
such as this, as 1t is seldom that a
show Of this character can be seen
anywhere but in the larger cities Of
the country. A very substantial guar
antee is necessary in order to bring
a cast like that presenting "The Melt:
ing Pot" to Logan. Without doubt,
the people of Logan and In the val
ley will support Mr.. Thatcher in
this undertaking.

WHAT He Will DO
Declares That Democrats viii Never
Give Protection to American
Industries

Chicago, Aug. s. Charles 4.
Hughes tonight told an audience that
crowded Chicago's great Coliseum
the hall where he was nominated for
the presidency-what he would do if
elected President of the United
States.
Mr.. Hughes charged the present
administration with waste, extrava.
gance and vacillation. He declared
that it had not kept the country out
Of war, but that 1t had fought an ig.
nominous war in Mexico and had
withdrawn from that war ignominous.
ly. He charged the administration
with having brought the country
rnuch nearer to participation in the
European war than the country would
have been lad the administration
etood for American rights.
He declared that 1t was no more
possible to expect tariff protection
to American industries from a Demo
cratic Congress than 1t would be to
get a revival sermon out Of disor.
derby house. 90.
The nominee assailed the admins.
tration also for its appointments to
nfflce and declared that IL elected he
would appoint to Office only men who
were we'll qualified.
Democratic expenditures for rivers
and harbors were attacked by the
nominee.
Il propose that we shall stop this
pork business" he said. Il propose
that we shall have government in Il
business like way. We won't have
any more, if can stop it, Of these

riations in Congress.
The nominee said he stood for
business like. responsible budget"
based on facts.
Il do not want any hot air in mine"
he added.
The Democratic party, Mr.. Hughes
said, was approaching the idea of a
protective tariff, like skittish horse
to brass band" In 1912, he added.
tae democratic platform had said in
effect that a protective tariff was I'M
constitutional.
They say in effect now that the
European war has changed the con-
stitution of the United States he
continued. But do you think they
are converted? Don't you trust them
a little minute with protecting Am
erican industry? They have not got
1t In their bones"
Mr.. Hughes reiterated much of his
Detroit speech regarding the admin
istrations Mexican policy.
1T had no right" he said, ito com
init this country to a course OF con
duct which landed Mexico In anarchy,
left our citizens prey to the ravag
es OF revolution and made our name
word of contempt in a sister re
public"
I'VE have gone forward" the nomi'
nee said, in speaking Of the admins
tration's Mexican policy" with a de-
termination to be destructive, not
constructive, to destroy all they had
