pened some years ago in the Office
where this is written A man came
into the editorial offices instead OF the
counting room by mistake to make
subscription to the ''semi- weekly" He
lived in town and the suggestion was
made that he should take the daily.
He replied that he had tried to find a
job and couldn't but that If the editor
would find him employment he'd gladly
take the daily. He said he had offered
to drive a grocery wagon $40 month
less than the general scale but couldn't
get on. 1t was a pitiful story until ne
mentioned that he owned 400 acres of
land in the county and that 1t was paid

ought not to have poor mans job on

Now a man ought to live as we'll as
he can afford to. He ought to be of as
much use to other men as he can af-
ford to. He ought to give his family
all he can afford to. He ought to look
out for the future of himself and his
children but man with half million
has responsibilities that he can't ship
out Of on plea of thrift. He must
come across.
All that is true of cities and states 4
and nations as of individuals. Those
who can afford TO have conveniences
and to make progress in conditions

fact that it costs something is balanced
by the fact that they can afford 10 pay,

THRIFT AND ITS COUNTERFEIT.

Considerable note and comment has
been current over the case of Chica-
go street car conductor who died worth
a half million and who stuck to the
street car job until he died. 1t Is re-
lated that he saved every dollar and
invested in city lots and the like and
kept on doing so until, behold, when he
was ready to die he had half million
TO leave to somebody else.
Now there are two sides to thrift.
There is thrift that saves for a rainy
day and old age and that counterfeit Of
thrift that denies itself and its own in
order to pile one dollar on another for
the mere sake Of looking at and gloat-
ing over the height Of the pile.
Take Old joe Hrehster Toe was not

worked about by the day. Perhaps
hts highest pay was 81 to $3.50 day

A MACEDONIAN CRY.
IDayenport Democrat.l

lHdNcHpoit hEbiueb
Has Governor Harding already for
gotten the thousands of wet democrats
who voted for him? We have no doubt
that his voice is potent in republican
councils at Des Moines. and here the
senate and house are organizing with
all republican committees on constitu-
ticnal amendments and other impor-
tant measures. Not a lookin for the
democrats. The grand old party hog
ging everything in sight. BY way OF
adding insult to injury. 1t evidently in
tends to make iowa as dry as a bone
and take all the credit for the Job.
How thankless. after the democrats
came out for prohibition and all the
vets left their party to vote for the
governor Has he forgotten already
his debt to them

They may attempt to discredlt Law

there was a leak, says the Mason City
Globe Gazette.
From the way Attorney General
Havner Is entering upon his job Of
dry cleaning Iowa, we have a suspicion
that he lis enjoying himself these days, "
remarks the Davenport Democrat.
The primary election law is not all
right. but we don't want to go back to
the old caucus and convention system, /"
says the Waverly Independent. 1T IL
true that some abuses have grown up
in primary campaigns, but those abuses
are not as great as some abuses we
have seen when two or three bosses
controlled the nominations Of q county
under the caucus plan. II our law
makers at Des Moines abolish the pri-
mary election law and fall back on the
old caucus plan for nominating candi-
dates, they will make a woeful mis-
take. We expect this legislature to
make improvements and go forward,
not backward
Noting that the city commissioners
of Paris, Ill.,. have resolved not to en-
ploy any men who drink" the Ottumwa
Courier SAYS, "they are absolutely
right, but" adds the Courier, their
resolution should also state that the
city will discharge any employees who
do drink. Those who do not drink
should not be Handicapped by having
to work with those who do. The
boozer is a nuisance"
Economy is 10 be the watchword
of the Harding administration 1t will
be well to remember that Iowa Is one
of the most prosperous states Of the
union and In view of our good fortunes
there is a degree of economy which
might readily degenerate into penuri-
BUSINESS, argues the Muscatine Jour-
nal Iowa can still afford to be pro-
gressive."
But the people should not be con-
demned for going wrong II they know
where they are going. Let them rule

argues the Council Bluffs Nonpareii for
the primary. Besides, Harding may
make a creditable governor. He knew
how to appeal to the prejudices of vot-
ers. He may in like manner know
how TO sain their approval in future"
TIE question of veracity is of
course, a mere incident in the general
inquiry says the Sioux City Journal.
Tine important question is whether
there was an official leak, and whether
officials Of the administration or mem
bers OF congress profited by it
