The Egyptian "FelIah."


 The Egyptian "Fellah" Is curious mixture of independence and submis- siveness. He would never consent to the wholesale disclosure of his affairs requisite under the cooperative sys- tenn. He is as secretive as the Scotch man, as land hungry as the French man. He is in some ways as ignorant and as submissive to authority as the poorest European peasant. He had always obtained ample credit, but at a terrible price. For short periods he would pay 50 and 60 per cent and when, in 1899, an effort was made to create an equitable system of rural credits the average existing rate of in- terest for all loans was 27 per cent per annum. Suspicious to degree, he had to be approached very diplomatic. ally by personal meetings. often re- peated. before he could be convinced of the bona fides of a bank offering him money at 8 and 9 per cent. His con- fidence was won, however. and he proved an honest and reliable client.

ARE TOLD TO GIVE THEIR CHILDREN CORN MEAL
THAT WE MAY SEND WHEAT TO EUROPE?

1t may be that Mr. Hoover has not the power to forbid
the waste of food in maintaining the nations gambling ns
tutions
But he has the power to SAY SOMETHING.
Many women have been ruined by the tracks many
children have been made poor by gambling fathers much
crime originates at the race track.
Is it the intention of the Government of Mr. Hoovers
food administration permit the waste of grain and hay IN
order that certain very prosperous gentlemen may not be
deprived of their little gambling pleasures?
Those charge of railroads ask the people to be patient
when they find to travel ask merchants to forgive
the fact that they can't get goods delivered.
Will those in charge of railroads continue providing
special padded and special facilities for rapid ranspor
tton Of horses and gambling thieves from one city In
this country to another?
Now that Mr. McAdoo controls believe the business
of special cars for race horses will end.
We point out to Mr. Hoover and to others that it is
tremely unwse when you trying for results to give to
the body of the people, GOOD CAUSE FOR DlsSAT1S-
FACTION
When you permit good food to be wasted on gambling
institutions trains of to be wasted carrying the mpe
ments of gambling and at the time preach economy 70
mothers and business you are giving GOOD CAUSE
FOR DISSATISFACTION, dangerous and foolish thing
to do. , -,
When will Mr. Hoover find time to tell us what ne thinks
about wasting at tracks every day food enough fog
thousand children?

These are the last hours of the years last day.
1t is time for serious thought earnest resolutions and

No tell what may be hidden in the year that is
coming and the years to follow.
But every knows this: He will need all his power,
self control and concentration for the coming problems what
ever they be-
Each is the competitor for good for evil of all the
others.
We are so much alike that ONLY EXTRA EFFORT
counts.
Take away from the great, successful some little
quality which ANY man might cultivate and your great
and successful man disappears

they DID, others at them

When the end of litigation gave to Edward Mclean full
control of the great fortune left by his fahe-and what is
important, control of the Washington Post really
national newspaper-The TIMES predicted that Mclean
would use his power and his money well.
It is pleasure to congratulate the Post and its
upon todays announcement of free distribution of coal
the very poor in Washington.
Just where Mclean dug up the coal we don't know
and can't guess Anyhow he has it. It is not for SALE but
to be given away free to those that suffer and lack money
buy coal.
you are poor telephone Main 1905 or Main 75O0 tell
Rr John M Bdde whoevS answers the telephone that
you would like bushel of Mr. Mclean coal You need
send for it, Mclean delivers it, with his compliments and
best wishes for the New Year.
We were an old editor already when we first watched
Mclean toddng child, playing around in guileless gee.
X We have watched his development always remember
ing the wise saying eXcuse the forbidden language) Ken
Berg ohne Thai Ryley Grannon would put it
elegantly, Je hoher der Berg desto tiefer das THAI
When the food problem loomed up Mclean sold the
horses that used to his infancy keeping only horses
that could be used for blowing narrowing raising food
leaving to others to waste oats racing machines.
The money that might have bought hay for horses
buys coal for the poor-a considerable Improvement
Free coal is good temporary remedy wise charity
Having arranged that charity suggest to Mclean
that he concentrate his mind and his newspaper PRE-
VENTIoN.
Let him, regardless of selfish harmful monopolies
companies and Others do what he harness
up the Potomac waters uSng the wasted force for heat
light power.
We suppose that Mclean is worth about forty millions
of dollars If he gave the whole amount to the poor free
coal he wouldn't do much good he would do if he
helped to harness the Ioomac using the stream that
wastes every year fortune greater than McLean's.
