We mistake greatly the meaning Of
thrift If we conclude that it means
simply self-denial and saving; for
while it does involve sacrifice, 1t is
sacrifice for a purpose. Thrift earns
for a purpose and spends for q pur-
pose.
There Is e thrift that is mean and
niggardly, and robs life Of much of its
comforts, and there is thrift that is
broad and helpful-the kind that
makes for well-regulated life, gets
solid satisfaction day by day, prepares
for peaceful old age when the earn
ing power is less and the needs great
er than today.
The thrift we need is, to repeat, thu
broader thrift that works hard, spends
wisely and save consistently, and no
the narrow thrift that merely save
money at whatever cost in comfor
and convenience.

IN WONAV'S REALM
!: Talks On Thrift ::

When we speak Of thrift the aver
age man and woman Immediately
;umns to the conclusion that we mean
merely the saving Of money, and hav-
ing bee unable to save money, con-
c,ndes that the practice of thrift is an
impossible achievement.
We are apt to picture the man OF
thrift as "tightwad," so careful in
money matters that it is painful both
TO him and those about him; who
counts every penny with thoughtful
care and spends it with regret, denies
himself every rightful pleasure, wears
his clothes until they are threadbare,
eats the plainest of food, and deposits
his money in the saving bank with
clocklike regularity.
But that is narrow thrift, and it
may not be thrift at all: for the miser
is by no means true example of
thrift, although he may be good ex-
ample of saving. While thrift in the
saving of money, it is bigger and
broader than that. The man Of thrift
works hard and earns largely that he
may spend wisely for the things that
make life worth living. While he has
an eye on the future, he does not for.
get that we live but once and are en-.
titled to some of the good things OF
life as we go along. Too many peo
pie live so much in anticipation of the
future that they miss the joys of the
present. Too many dread the future
and, instead Of preparing for it
worry about it.
Satisfaction in life comes from
two sources: First a knowledge tina
we have part in the worlds worl
and are playing that part we'll. Sec
ond, that we are ready for tomorrow
In the last analysis contentment boil
for today and tomorrow is merely
matter of dollars and cents. Whil'
money is not the chief end and ain
of man, it is essential to the full en-
joyment. A certain bank clerk VIII

whether the following great measures
enacted by this so-called South-con-

partisan tariff commission removing
the tariff question from politics.
"The Income Tax Law, causing the

WORLD PEACE SHOULD UNITE
WOMEN VOTERS
[By Constance Drexel, member of

[By Constance DreXel, member Of
the Congressional Union for Wo-
man Suffrage
In this crisis of the worlds affairs
women should think internationally
as well as nationally. Humanity first
includes America First" A great
part of the civilized world is involv-
ed in a killing contest, man against
man, brought on by mans own fool
ishness. Even the victors will cry:
1t was not worth it. Because we
were blind to our errors, perhaps this
war could not have been avoided.
But please, please let it be the last
one"
The great point for women to de-
eide is-Shall it be the last one or
will we continue in this madness
which brings nothing but sorrow ev-
en- to yictors? 1t is particularly fit
ting for women to ask this question,
since women as a sex are the greatest
sufferers from war. Millions Of men
die FOR them it is finished Bat wo-
men must live on, not only to should
er burdens not intended for them but
to be robbed of home and projected
motherhood.
Women may we'll ask-Is there no
hope that human beings may live in
peace and quietude, free to fight the
common foes of sickness and power

of war could be lifted from its should

Printer and Republican leader, of st.
Marys, and DR.. ]. C. Pence, prOmi-
nont Republican of Lima, comes the
declaration of Elmer McLain, Repub

that he is now Democrat and for the
entire ticket, with a special endorse
ment of President Wilson, Senator
Pomerene and Ex-Governor Cox. Mr..
McLain is a member of the Progress
i've State Executive Committee, and
becomes a Democrat because the De-
mOcratiC party is the only present fac
tor in securing the passage of pro-
gTessiVe acts. He chooses now to be-
come a Democrat because he disap-
proves the Weakling attitude Of can
didate Hughes, the money eXpendi-
ture of Myron T. Herrick, and the
weakness and pttiable failure of Gov
ernor Willis. He praises the record
of President Wilson, Senator Pome-
rene and Ex-Governor Cox, and
chooses the Democratic party because
it has demonstrated by it's works
that it believes in mankind" He
condemns the Republican party be-
cause it has got into the Arm con-

CONFIDENT DEMOCRACY

There is possible harm in the at
tempt being made by Republicans to
create the impression that there may
come to this country business disas-
ters after peace is declared in Eu-
rope Those who are responsible for
this declare that the Democratic par
ty has not the ability to take care of
conditions that will then exist.
Of course, the argument will fail,
yet in the minds Of some, while not
inducing them to vote the Republi-
can ticket, a panicky feeling may
come.
What this country wants at all
times is confidence, self confidence.
There is no cause for alarm. A ma
tion which has come through the be-
setting dangers of that great conflict
during its dire enactment has moth
ing to fear from the problems that
peace shall bring. President Wilson
and the Democratic party have never
shirked any situation which has aris-
en- but have with intelligence and
courage with splendid poise and
abundant craftsmanship mastered
them all The country under a re-
turn to power of the Democratic par
ty will be stronger than ever, better
able by experience to cope win the
economic conditions which may arise.
1t has achieved first place of i'm
portance amongst the nations of the
world, is holding it in a time of stress
and will never surrender it in times
of peace. Never has there been an
administration so thoroughly dedicat-
ed to the public service, so abundant
ly able to protect the country's well
Fare, so sure of itself and of the coun-
try. The effort of the Republicans is
bad politics-cheap and ugly politics.
