CONCERNING THE LoAFER

Many states have passed laws
against habitual idlers which is a
late start in attacking the vice of
laziness: for it is just as much a
vice as drunkenness or opium eat
ing, says the Saturday Evening
Post. It destroys the manhoodsin a
man and the integrity of his charae-
ter. We have known our share of
drunkards and dope fiends, We
have seen those who seemed fairly
hopeless shake off their vice and
emerge useful. honor-worthy men.
According to our observation. how
ever, a man once really sunk in the
vice of lazineSs seldom gets out
but remains the nearest to absolute
zero in human character,
Laziness has not been attacked
as other vices have. There have
been few warnings. reproductions,
inhibitions. The young man hangs
round pool rooms-or round club
grills, if he has money. He en-
cages in imitation work-petty, in
cidental jobs; or golf if he can
afford it. He is not girding him
self; he is not attacking the prob
lem of his life; he is loafing. But
if he does not indulge in the recog-
nized vices nobody says decisively
This will not dov'
Youth is just as prone to the vice
of laziness as to any other vice.
But there are no danger signals on
that road. There ought to be. We
believe society has a right and
duty to say to every able-bodied
young man Work or you shall not
eat;" for we believe that laziness
is the most durable of vices if taken
in time and about the least cura-
bic when it has become chronic.

It's an even bet that it was just
after grouchily grouching at
"Alex" for his failure to land a
two-doIlar ad. that Editor Macleod
evolved the following for Up-to-
The-Times Magazine:
"Grumblers are given wide
berths. When they realize that
the ears of their friends are closed
to ward off food Of complaints
and stop their wagging tongues
they soon feel the beneficial effects
of diverting their thoughts from
themselves. Sometimes they may
reach the conclusion that the world
Is hard. but if they learn what is
hest for them as well as for their
friends they bury their troubles
and ailments instead of keeping
them under magnifying glasses.

COUNTRY PAPERS GOING UP

Chieftain, itself a $500 newspaper

cry week the trade papers give the
