Why it Pays to Pay
Cash Every Time

If we tried to go into detail it
would require a whole book, but
we only wish to point out a. few of
the more important facts. Z ?
FIRST. You only pay for what
YOU get! There is hardly first of
the month that comes but what we
hear these remarks: 1 received
statement for a bill that l had al
ready paid, or on my bill this
month they had me charged with
something that another Mrs. Smith
or Mrs. Jones got, or they had on
my bill some articles that l had
returned. Don't you have this same
trouble? Did you know there had
never been a bookkeeping system
invented that could eliminate these
defects.
SECOND. You do not have to
pay for what the other fellow for
got to pay for. 1t is a known fact
that there are a certain number
of people in every locality who buy
all the goods they can get on a
credit, without the least intention
of paying for them. There are 9th
ers who make big bills and misfor-
tune overtakes them and they can't
pay. Does the merchant lose this?
We should say not, for if he does
he soon goes out of business. He
simply has to add certain per
cent on all the goods he sells for
cash to balance off these losses.
Do you want to help pay them?
THIRD. When you pay cash,
you only buy what you want! Did
you know that about "a per cent of
the merchants who go into business
fail and why? One reason is, they
buy goods from concerns who give
them from to months to pay
for them. Consequently, where
they could get along by buying one
piece of goods they think, well six
months from now 1 will have plen-
ty of money, therefore, buy five
pieces. When the six months goes
by they fail o have the money, be-
cause there were several other
things they hadn't thought of that
the money had to go to pay for.
The same applies to individuals.
Pay as you go. Buy what you need.
Don't take a chance on having the
money when the end of the month
or six months comes. If you
haven't the money to pay cash, do
without until you get it.
If you will start this you will find
at the end of the year you will be
in better shap&- financially.

A Dark Half Hour.

Many famous clark days" have been
recorded, but it is to be doubted if
there was erer one that was gloomier
in its murk than today, when at
O'Clock in the morning it was neces-
sary for lights to be turned on to per-
nit work in Offices, and motor cars were
running with their headlights in full
glow. Fortunately, this condition did
not last long. The cloud that had de-
scended low upon the earth began to
eondense and rain relieved the situa
ton. Yet for fully half an hour
Washington was in pail as dense as
some of the notorious London par
ticulars." The conditions served as oc-
casion for many quip on daylight
saving Obviously no legislative votes
could transfer the sunshine of yester-
day or tomorrow to the outrageous
streets of the capital during that
melancholy half hour.

reports from them, and assist them
with pointers from time to time.
Well, why mott New times, new
methods. 1t may help diplomacy to
relieve it somewhat Of ceremonial and
charge it somewhat with practical
everyday, duties. The change will
open the doors of diplomatic service to
business men Of high grade, DESTROYS
Of public Office in order to render I'M
portant public service.
1t should certainly suit us. As a
nation we have sometimes been criti-
cised for appointing men with ex-
perience only in business to diplo-
matte posts. Nations operating with
so-called schools of diplomacy, where
mon receive special training for such
posts, have thought our action crude,
and wondered at it.
AS a matter of fact, however. we
have never suffered in the slightest
from such appointments. Almost in
variably. they have turned out well.
Under this new order, If it is adopted,
such appointments should turn out
even better. If business, real bust
ness. becomes the wear for diplomats,
and they are encouraged to give more
attention than ever to business devcl-
opments within the sphere of their
official observation. their usefulness
will undoubtedly be increased, and
such appointments be more than ever
justified by results.

Civil Retirement.

With favorable report ordered by
the House committee ON the clerks re
tirement bill, there is a prospect OF
action at this session in at least the
lower branch of Congress. This meas
ure has in effect been pending fol
years. 1t had, in one form or an
other, been previously reported, and
has lain on the calendars of both
House and Senate awaiting action
Now there is determination on the
part of those legislators who have had
to do with the preparation of the bill
to press for action promptly, for they
realize that the retirement of the super
animated employees of the government
is a necessity for the sake of good
administration and economy, as well
as measure of justice to the indi-
viduals.
At recent hearings before the House
| committee evidence was given by de-
partmental chiefs as to the urgency
of the need. 1t was shown that in
every branch of the government men
and women are employed whose age
and physical condition prevent full
and efficient service. They have been
excellent workers in the past, many
Of them experts in their particular
lines, highly trained in their duties
and faithful in their discharge of
them. But owing to the passage of
time they have become incompetent,
and as the government has been mer-
eiful it has kept them on the rolls to
the disadvantage of themselves through
reduced pay and the even greater dis
advantage Of the service through the
elogging Of the channels Of promo
ton.
The government has lost in the past
fifty years through enforced incom-
petence of the superannuated people
on its rolls more than enough to have
financed retirement system. It is
today the only very large employer
in the country that has not provided
for some manner of pension for the
veterans. Prejudice against civil
retirement system has heretofore pre-
vented action. Now the matter is def
nitely put upon the basis of joint sup.
port by the employees and the en-
ployer, and there is no logical reason
for longer abstaining from q measure
of justice and good business manage
ment that is demanded by every re-
sponsible head of the public work.

for repeal, far more than two thirds
having voted in the Senate to end the
system, and, as yesterdays vote dis
closed anew, very close to two-thirds
in the House. Yet with the President in
| opposition there is small prospect of
a repeal. unless converts can be made
by those opposed to the law. In the
House yesterday 46 members failed to
| vote and l answered "present' Of
these AZ non-voters 9 were paired-2
for passage over the veto to l against.
This leaves IS members of the House
whose views are not disclosed. There
is obviously chance for another eff
fort to repeal to success, even on the
two-thirds basis. In view of the pres
ent situation in Congress, however, it
is hardly to be expected that this move
will be Immediately made, or, if made.
that it will reach the point of enact
ment quickly.

Trade and Diplomacy.

A Lohdon cable to the New York
Sun says:
Much space is devoted in newspaper
comment to the preparations being
made in America for invading the
new markets. and there is unusual in
terest in the announcement of the
new transatlantic steamship line from

and hustle. Stress is laid on the fact
that great eargoes of American goods
are already waiting in Scandinavian
ports for shipment into Germany,
while hundreds of American statesmen
are already in Germany or are on their
way there. The newspapers are urg-
ing English business men to get rep
resentatives into Germany and to be-

Al Awakened Pe2rle.

The league of nations is rousing the
people generally to a marked show OF
interest Observe how they are turn
ing out to hear about it.
Wien the President landed from
Jrarce he made his way with difficulty
o., uUgn enormous crowds to a public
hail, which was packed to receive him.
Inc governor of the state and the
mayor of the city were present to as
sst in the demonstration. Enthu-
siasm stamped every feature and mo-
ment of the function. New York is a
big and busy town, but found time on
this occasion to turn from all other
things to this thing, and staged meet
ing ranking in size and excitement
with the notable meetings in local his
tory.
When the President several days
later in this town appeared on Capitol
Hill to deliver the peace treaty to the
Senate he found a great throng as
sembled, filling and surrounding the
Capitol. Only a part of it could
squeeze into the Senate chamber.
Great numbers had to remain without,
and many even to remain outside the
building, where a pouring rain was
falling. The House recessed in honor
of the event, and its members trooped
across TO listen to the message.
Senator johnson of California, re-
publican, has been touring New Eng
land in opposition to the treaty, and
addressing large audiences. His fame
as an orator would alone have proved
an attraction, but it is agreed that his
topic increased the desire to hear it.
Senator Reed Of Missouri, a demo
crat, has been touring the south in
opposition to the treaty, and address
ing large audiences. He, too, has wide
reputation as popular orator; and
the simple notice Of an address by him
would fill hall. But in his case also
the topic assisted on these occasions
to swell the crowds.
This does not mean, of course, that
ill who listened to the President in
Few York or on Capitol Hill were in
agreement with him, or that all who
listened to Senators johnson and Reed
were in agreement with them. But
it does mean that in the mouth of a
speaker of note and position, the
league of nations is mightier than all
other topics. and will easily continue
to top them all until finally disposed Of
This is as it should be. 1t is the
proper response to an unusual ap.
peal. For the first time, the people
are being consulted about treaty, and
one that touches in some way and
measure every one of them. They are
right, therefore, in crowding halls to
hear, and taking home for reflection
every word uttered for or against an
instrument of such paramount sig
nifcance.

The Price Inquiry.

! Senator Capper of Kansas yester
day before the District committee, in
advocating the proposed inquiry into
the price of necessities in Washing
/ ton, as compared with other cities. de-
clared that in the matter of meats
the retailer is doing most of the
profiteering. This assertion, indeed,
would seem to be borne out by recently
published figures from the Department
If Agriculture quoting the prices of beef
| on the hoof and dressed carcasses and
| the retail prices. The range of whole
sale prices lately has been downward,
and there has been some accompanying
lowering of retail rates, but not in
proportion to the fall in cattle and
! carcasses This is one of the points
that the Senate subcommittee can as
| certain with little doubt. The price
lists are matters of record. In this,
as in other items, the point of greatest
importance in the investigation is to
determine not merely which factor in
the distribution has profted excessive
ly, but whether there has been any
undue profting in Washington. The
question before the Senate subcom-
mittee is this: Have the merchants of
Washington taken excess profits from
their customers in any line of goods
in comparison with the merchants Of
other eities9
