MANY PERSONS HELD
BY HYPNOTIC SPELL
Erronsopsiy Imagine That Value Of
Money Lies Within itself and Not
in Those Things II VIII Buy.

Thousands Of Americans are under
the hypnotic spell of money. With
distorted viewpoint they have come to
regard money as q great treasure in
Itself wb. reas money has its real sig
l!hcar.ce only in what il buys for US.
a mans reward for his work does not
depend merely on what he earns. For
the true reward Of labor is the ser
vice the worker is able to obtain with
the money he earns. .
It is evident that a man may earn
twice as much as he once did in
money and yet be no better off if the
goods he needs cost twice or three
times what they formerly cost. But
it. is apparent to all that apart from
Increase DIT decrease in wages as e1-
pressed in money, there Is wide diff
ference in the real value earned by
persons receiving the same in actual
cash
What a person gets out Of the world
in return for what he gives it. de-
ponds finally on the choice made in
disposng Of his income. One man by
wise buying, careful and consistent
saving sand safe and profitable invest
ment in such securities as War Saw
lngs Stamps. Treasury Savings Certih-
Gates and Liberty Bonds, may trans
form the reward OF his labor into all
the necessities and comforts OF life
that he requires and even its lu1uries.
Another, gaining exactly the same sum
In actual cash, may, through waste,
extrayaganee and failure to save. find
himself unable to secure even, the ne
cessties.
Whether or not worker earns a
sum which fulflls his estimate Of what
should be his just reward for labor,
the responsibility for. the way he
spends what he gets remains with, him
and with him alone and cannot be
transferred to any other person.
Prices Of necessities and wages may
ebb and now like the tide but the fun
danlental fact remains unchanged that
apart from the nature and volume OF
his. earnings every man can, within
limits. determine the richness Of the
reward OF his labor. He. can accom-
plish this by the amount OF restraint
and intelligence he exercises "a spend

BRITISH NOW SAVING
LARGE SUMS OF MONEY.

In spite Of the eIigencies OF war
the volume OF saving deposits in Eng
land has grown tremendously in the
last Ave years according to the comp
troller Of the British Post Office Say
tags Bank. Only twice. the comp
troller states, was the flow OF savings
deposits interrupted: once by the war
loan OF 1915 and once oy the per
cent loan OF 1917.
Total deposits increased despite the
fact that depositors transferred over
81. 900, 100000 from their postal savings
into the various Issues Of the govern
ment. The recent figures show con
clusirely. the comptroller asserts, rho
power OF saving OF the British pnolc

PerShinp for President.

General Pcrshine har met the inevitable
fate Of prominent heroes of war-he -
being in iccte,i. without effort or apparent
lv even consent, on his own part, into
contest for the Presidency Of the United
States. From Lincoln, Nebraska, comes
the announcement by former United
States Senator Elmer j. Burkett that the
Pershing National Committee has been
organircd and will work for the general 3
nomination for President by the Repub-
Hcsan National Convention at Chicago,
next June.
General Pcsxhrrg thus occupies, IN
measure, n position similar 10 that held by
General Grant at the cloSe Of the Civil
War. Grant WAS popular military hero,
but the country did not know whether he
was Democrat or Republican. His
Democratic anteccdcnts inclined Demo
Gratis 70 hls favor, but before they could
act. the Republican National Convention
of 1868 had named him and he had ae-
oepted PershIng also emerged from great
war wearing the vlctor's halo, but with no
outward political garments He alec
is of Democratic antecedents, and there
has been Democratic talk Of his nomina-
tion SIS the candidate for President, but
now Republican party organization
claims him for its OWL.
Military heroes have ever been popu-
lar politically The glamor Of victory in
war was part Of George Washington
popularity II made President Of An
drew jackson, William Henry Harrison,
Zachary Taylor and Ulysses s. Grant.
1t was an aid 60 the election Of Franklin
Pierco, Rutherford b. Hayes, James A.
Garfield, Benjamin Harrison and William
Mckinley. 1t nominated George B. Nc
Clellan and Winfield Scott Hancock as
Democratic candidates for the Presi-
dency in 1864 and 1850, respectively, and
Winfield Scott was the Wing candidate in
1852. But it has not always proved ss
potent IN securing election as in installing
its haloed objects in the position Of party
leadership But past history shows that
it IS a political asset not to be entirely dis
regarded.

WORK OR GET OUT.

Go to work or leave town, WIS the
crisp order given to loafers recently
in number Of cities in Oklahoma
The order has been carried out with
vigor in several cities, and a lot Of chaps

tended it is not wise The claim is made
it merely keeps the men travelling and
does not solve the problem Of the loafer
IL is pointed out that these same men
might have been given sentences for bcing

are not available.

ket at something less thar half q dollar.
Yet he knows that an o.Jce Of silver.
which contains only $50 grains, Is worth
on the market upward Of Si.56. Tic
silver In that coin. then, has market
value Of about SI20.
Or perhaps he got "stunk" with a

The Government WIn Helm.

Further encouragement fer the speedy
success OF the Wilmington harbor project
IS contained IN the announcement that
the Board of Harbor Commissioners VIII
be aided and advised hy the Board Of
Rivers and Congress at " Washington This
body has general supervision Of the i'm
provemcnt and development of rivers and
harbors under government auspices 1t
will authorize the employment of such
expert assistance as may be needed to
enable the board to cooperate with the
local harbor commissions rs far as may
be desired, in the planning Of terminals
and port facilities. This is assurance of
valuable cooperation and assistance.
We may now reasonably expect steady
and practical work in the direction of
establishing the proposed harbor Of Will
mington. Of course, the city must do its
share, and it has done much thus far by
aiding the Board Of Harbor Commissioners
with the financial Resources necessary to
the promotion of present plans There is
no room for doubt that by the end n an
other year the great project for the crea-
ton Of the harbor of Wilmington will show
most encouraging progress.

PRESS COMMENT.
wHArLowER DEPTHS.

Tho latest Knox peace resolution re
ported by q packed committee on foreign
relations To dead-lockcd Senate Is a
triumph Of insincerity or Imbeci1ty.
In his earlier attempts to rip the
"cruel peaoe" imposed upon Germany, the
Pennsylvania Senator proposed nothing
but a scuttle by the United States. The
Treaty was so offensive To him, apparently,
that its provisions indemnifying Arneri-
can citizens and the national government
were hateful. BY a simple resolution
he would have declared peace with the
Central Powers, abandoned all the fruits
of victory and left every issue that forced
us into the war TO be settled by the
Western Allies alone,
The substitute now offered by the gem
tIeman corrects what in Pennsylvania
corporation lawyer must have been nn
inexcusable oversight. He would have
separate peace, as formerly, but CON
ditioned upon Germanys unconditional
acceptance of all undertakings and COW
rnants in the Treaty OF Versailles favor
BILE to the United States
Thus VIC are To get out of Europe and
profit by treaty enforced by other
nations to which we refuse TO subscribe
and responsibility for which IN most
of its parts we shamelessiy rcpudiate.
All this rs contefnptibie enough but II ~
not the worst. Serving notice ON the world
that we will have nothing to do with

for yeaceable settlement.
Coming from leader Of the ono official
body that stands in the way Of peace and
arbitration and that thus far has refused
To associate itself with the nohlpSt plan
ever devised for guaranteeing Justice
and preventing war, is this IRONY or Is 1t
outrageous impudcncc? A feeling is
widely prevalent abroad that, in spite of
cur glorious achievements on the battle
field, we have failed as no great nation
ever did before to meet the problems
inseparahle from triumph. When We
decline every obligation Of the Treaty
while reaching out for its benefits, who

Knox and the Trea y.

Senator Knox Of Pennsylvania, who
ably seconded Senator Lodge II MassA-
chusctts in The successful fght against
ratification Of the Treaty of Peace and tho
League Of Nations Covenant by the Unit
ed States Senate, has proposed a measure
of "compromise" that is both novel and
contradictory. Senator Knox would NOT
accept the Treaty promulgated by the
Congrexs OF Versailles, which he claimed
WAS not American, but he would have
Germany dealt with in accordance with
the terms Of that Treaty, and also made
subservient TO the rule Of the League at
Nations.
Senator Knox's plan is for our Congress
first to repeal the declaration Of war
against Germany, and then cxact what
ever advantages would accrue to this
country from the Treaty of Peace, with
the threat of n business boycott II Ger
many should refuse. In word, Senator
Knox would have our country continue
it's reputation of the Treaty of Peace, but
take large advantage Of that same Treaty
and of the province and powers ID the
League of Nations.
Such paradoxical proposition Sounds
ridiculous. Ii may be a,id 70 be almost
coutemptibie. II is about on all fours with
the greed and stingincss Of the boy who
would have the cake and keep the penny.
Senator Knox would have the United
States, in its dealings with Germany fol-
lowing the ending of the war. take every
thing IN sight and offer nothing. he would
have our country profit equally with the
other Allied nations in the peace terms,
without assuming any of the Obligations OF
those terrua- He would have Great Britain,
France and England pull our chestnuts
oui Of the German IRE.
But Senator Knox announocs a mental
"resxrvation' to hls one-eadcd propos tion
''It would not he sslyr, Interfere with
The subsequent rntifcation Of the Treaty
Of Versailles at any time or upon any
terms that twu-thirds of the Senate may
decide upon and tho President accepts.
Even more ridiculous rs the reservation
than the proposition. Why not ratify the
TreSty and be dome with Il?

A PERFECT CHRISTMAS.
W. ID. Greene.

The Christmas tree stands brave and
strong,
And holly decks the wall,
The table proans beneath It's load,
With mistletoe Der oil
There's happiness IN every heart,
And Joy IN every glance,
For their soldier boy returns today
From the battlcfields Of France.
A martial step sounds on the porch,
r he door swings open wide;
And 10 his breast the soldier ciasps
His mother and his bride.
His father takes him by the hand,
While tears flow down his cheek,
And every eye expresses thoughts
Which lips refuse % speak.
His little brother drops his toys
And comes up on the run
To hear the soldier brother tell
OF battles with the Hun;
And now around the festive board
They bow their heads to say:
I'VE thank Thee, gracious DOrd, for this
Our perfect Christmas Day
