FRANKLIN DAY,

The government requests a nation
wide observance tomorrow, Jan. II,
as Franklin Day'-the two hundred
and thirteenth anniversary of the
birth of Benjamin Franklin. The real
reason for the special observances is
the promotion of thrift among the
American people Franklin was the
greatest exponent Of thrift the world
has ever known. But he was not an
exponent of stinginess.
What Franklin really meant by
thrift was set forth in a letter to Ma
dame Brillon of France. in which he
told of how. when a small boy, he be-
came possessed of quite number of
pennies, which he straigtway spent
for a whistle. When he got home and
began whistling, he was soon made
aware by his annoyed brothers and
sisters that he had paid too much
for his whistle BY paying all of his
money for 4 whistle, he had deprived
himself of many things he wished for
but could not buy.
This incident deeply impressed
Franklin throughout his entire life,
but it did not make of him a miser.
On that point his letter TO Madame
Brillon says;
"lf | knew 4 msser who gave UP
every kind of comfortable living. all
the pleasure Of doing good to others,
all the esteem of his fellow citizens,
and the joys of benevolent friendship,
for the sake of accommodating wealth.
Poor man said l. you pay too much
for your whistle. 81
For twenty-five years franklin
published what was known as Poor
Richards Almanac and in it gave Il
multitude of wise sayings. which have
stuck like a burr IN the minds of the
people of America. as well as of other
countries
Here Is one Of Poor Richards
typical proverbs:
"a man may, if he knows not how
his life to the grindstone, and die not
worth groat at last" Another was
What maintains one vice would bring
up two children" one of the best of
all is: Buy what thou hast no need
Of and ere long thou shalt sell thy
necessities.
But people in every walk of life
constantly are quoting Franklin's say
ings without being aware of where
those wise sayings originated. In
some form CT other most of us have
heard from the time we were children,
Always taking out of the meal-tub
and never putting in, soou comes to
the bottom" and, "When the we'll is
drs they know the worth Of water,
and, you cannot both have your cake
and cat it,"
The government asks that all Amer
ing 1919, which may be summed up
as follows:
ITO finish the job; to bu" wisely;
save sanely, and invest securely; to
take the if out of life and make it
build M thrift; to have Il personal
share in our countrys victory finance;
TO hold all government securities
bought; to join a war savings society;
to back up our end of the peace table
with heart, brains. labor encourage
ment and money; to make thrift a
happy habit and a solid business;
Keep a written account Of al bought,
study it wisely and try to reduce use
less spending and increase the ability
to buy wisely; to save for an uneX-
pected need on an unexpected oppor-
tunty; to save to live well now and in
the future; to conserve time. energy
and money"

local high school girls into camp
Friday evening, defeating them
by the lop-sided score of $ to

had the edge over the locals in
all departments Of the game,
both as to age, weight and ex-

This was the first game Of
the season for the team as well
as the first game for several of
the players and they are to be
complimented upon the showing
they made against a team that
is seasoned and have played to-
gether for several seasons.
Their defeat has not dampened
their ardor or enthusiasm in
the least and they have been do
ing some good practice work the

when they will journey to

nal freedom and the incentive to sue

cannot be forsaken without pulling
down over our own heads the strue-
ture we have so proudly reared. It
seems unthinkable that such posi-
bility could even be discussed, and
vet here it faces us, not only posi-
bility, but a probability, unless the
intelligence of the country is aroused
to meet it.
On this question of Government
ownership of railroads we stand to-
day in the first line trenches for the
protection of the private ownership
of all property. If this position is
lost the whole line will be seriously
threatened. Men who believe in
American institutions, in property

Stripped of all its fine phrases and
socialistic rhetoric, the Plumb Plan
is simply a scheme for class rule and
class profiteering. 1t provides for
government of transportation of the
railroad brotherhoods, by the brother
hoods, and for the brotherhoods.
There is no modest restraint of profit
sharing in the plan, because it

Organized Opposition Needed.

The alternative presented to the
public, unless the demands of the bro
therhoods are approved, is, in the
words of the acting president of the
railway department of the American
Federation of Labor, that the brother
hoods will "tie the railroads up so
tight that they will never run again. 7"
The definite threat is made to "paral-
we the nation" unless labor can
work it's will. We are further as
sured by Mr.. Plumb, the spokesman
of the brotherhoods, that this 'is
going to be fight to the finish, "
and, further, that 1--WE will not stand
for any modification of the principles
and proposals set forth in our plan. /"
Before such high-handed declarations
there would seem to be but one posi-
tion for men with courage and an in
telligent regard for their own inter-
ests to take, namely: that of definite,
organized opposition, and determine
ton to join isues on this question in
the court of public sentiment.
l am just as certain on my part as
the brotherhood leaders are on theirs
that If public sentiment could ever
really be informed on this question
there would be no doubt as to its de-
cision and its protection or its own
interests against any class appeal for
socialistic experiments.

Failure of Socialistic Enterprise.

Failure OF Soclallstlc Enterprise.
Again we are assured that great
economies in operation, which would
accrue to the public berofit, would
be effected by this plan. To sustain
this bold assertion there IS no proof
whatever; in fact. the whole record
CT socialistic enterprise and of Gov
eminent direction of industry is that
expense and inefficiency both increase
in marked degree. Nowhere has
this been more pointedly illustrated
than in the record of our railroads
themselves under Government di-
rection. The whole record of public
ownership in this country and
throughout the world has proved
clearly that it does not promote either
economy or efficiency, and, further,
that it carries with it political dang
ers OF serious Importance, which have
bred far-reaching troubles. That
the disastrous experiences of other
countries in this field would be re-
peated in our own somewhat loose
jointed democracy is absolutely GER
tain.
Such a venture on our part into
the field af radical socialism could
bring OILY industrial and financial
disaster, which would set this coun
try back many years, and if, on a
basis of their success in securing con-
troll of transportation, the Socialists
should proceed further in their pro-
gram of Matchmaking industry, BUSH
ness chaos would be assured and an
other Russian cataclysm would i'm
pend.
Lethargy Of the Public.
The amazing fact is that, in spite
of the obviousness of this situation
and its menace, human ignorance and
lethargy lend an ear to it's alluring
utopian promises. With THE tragic
collapse of Russia looming before
us, with the total failure or the COM
munistic scheme in Hungary and the
admission by the new President of its
provisional Government. himself a
labor leader and minister of social
welfare, and that henceforth his par
ty would stand "for full democracy,
with rights of private property and
full political liberty" it seems i'm
possible that any sane man would
give credence to the plea of socialism.
Yet we are informed that 100000
railroad workers and all other mill
lions in the ranks of the American
Federation of Labor, perhaps 5,000,-
900 in all, support this unsound plan,
which would certainly work the un-
doing of labor as completely as that
of capital ard ruin the business of
the country, in which the prosperity
of all is involved.

Only Way Solution Can Be worked
Out,

The railroad situation to-day pre-
sents many real problems, but these
problems cannot be solved properly
in the interests of any class or under
threat or force. Only patient ana
fair minded study, from the view
point solely of the general interest,
can bring a proper solution. The
securing of that solution is just as
vital to the railroad brothernoods
and to labor generally as to any
other interest involved, for after all
they are all citizens of the United
States and only as the United
States prospers as whole can they
long prosper. Continued prosperity
can be based only upon sound eco
nomic and political principles, and
any venture into other fields must
bring disaster to all concerned.

world turns to us for help. and if we
jeopardize not only our own powers
of service but also our own national
future by departing so radically
from the system which has made us
great we will be recreant to both our
duty and our opportunity. Individ-
