MILLIONS FOR A TITLE

Viscount William Waldorf Astor,
who died recently at Brighton, per-
haps gained more notOriety by eX-
patriating himself than any other man
who ever lived. By pouring out his
money lavishly and fighting an uphill
battle for years against British preJu-
dice, which in this case was eminently
justified, the descendant of one of
Americas richest pioneers had the
SNUG satisfaction of knowing late in
life that he possessed a much coveted
title, and had gained certain footing
in British society. To the everlasting
credit of Englishmen it should be
stated that he was ridiculed from
royal circles down to cOStermongerS.
1t was in 1890 that Waldorf Astor,
reputed worth $100,O00,OOO inherited
from his father, left the United States
because, as he is said to have de-
clared, "America is not fit country
for gentleman to live in" The I'M
welcome attentions of newspaper men
and photographers, the fear that his
children would be kidnapped and a
quarrel with his mother because she
insisted that the younger Mrs. AStor
should not use cards merely bearing
"Mrs. Astor," without her given name
prefixed, are some of the other rea-
sons advanced for Waldorf Astor's
departure from his native land to be-
come a British citizen.
However, it is far more likely that
he would have continued to live in
America and make the best of a bad
situation had he not been an inSuffer-
able snob. 1t is estimated that he
spent at least $12,0OO,000 to get into
the English peerage. AS the result
of faux pas he became persona non
grata to King Edward who called him
an "old bounder," but the accession
of King George enabled him to win
back the royal favor, which was
strengthened by huge donations to
war funds.
Viscount Astor had his wish. He
died British nobleman, owner of
lOrdly estate, with a son in parlia-
ment and a large staff of servants to
crook the pregnant hinges of the
knee, but he had few friends in Eng
land and practically none in America.
For nearly thirty years his name was
a theme for jests both in the United
States and in England.

Thoughts Of Today
For Taxpayers Only.

The Utica Press has a heavy head
line, Taxation Great Problem of To-
day." over a report of the speech by
Charles TObin before the members of
the Utica Institute of Banking.
He urged all people to take an in
terest in money collection and govern
mental expenditures, saying that it
was an individuals obligation to So
ciety.
But why should an individual puz-
zle himself about a subject in which
he has no voice?
Suppose the government decides to
levy tax on soda water, what good
would it do for an individual to pro-
test? How can any individual show
that the tax is unnecessary?
We have an absolutely unsound
method of levying taxes. We tax the
product instead of the source of pro-
duction, as though we taxed the beer
in the glass instead of in the barrel!

THEIR SUCCESS IN LIFE.

Few people realize how much their
success in life depends upon the pros
perity of their home town or city. 1t
is, of course, obvious that an increase
of desirable population means more
business for the merchants. Every
well managed and advertised business
will have more trade. All real estate
will become more valuable. But the
property owners are not the only ones
who are benefited.
Anyone who works for wages or
a salary in a growing city can expect
to share in the prosperity. If he is
employed by growing business that
business will be able to give better pay
to competent workers. Those who feel
they are not profitably employed where
they are will be more likely to get a
better job without moving to some 9TH
err place.
1t is therefore for the personal in
terest of every resident of this or any
other city to give his hearty and active
support to every movement that is cal
culated to advance the prosperity of
the community.

Of these privileges His program has
these main features:
l. Public ownership of railroads,
pipe lines, public utilities, and all nat
ural resources, such as coal, iron, oil,
copper and timber lands owned by the
trusts.
2. All patents to be open to use by
manufacturers or by anybody, on pay
ment to the owner of the patent of a
modest royalty fixed by the govern
ment
3. No land to be held out of use for
speculation or as an aid to monopoly.
A. Limitation of great fortunes by in
heritance and income taxes.
Mr.. Record maintains that this pro-
gram would secure equality of OppOr-
tunity for all, would leave the whole
field of production, outside of public
utilities, open to individual enterprise
and initiative, would encourage and
protect the acquisition of private prop
erty, and that politically it is pro-
gram that fits in with the American
traditions and habits of mind, and
can be carried out without upsetting
industry or confiscation of property

THE FRAME OF MIND.

A big western newspaper quite prop
erly says that latter all, the frame of
mind of both parties in the industrial
world is the big thing" That is what
we ought to strive for now in settling
the numerous strikes that are breaking
out all over everywhere. Unfortunate
ly the biggest strikes have occurred in
vital spots, where production of neces-
stiles are greatest.
We may be able to get along in
way with soldiers maintaining peace
in strike regions. The strikers may
get along for time if they compel OPP
orators and owners to come to their
terms. But until employers and EN-
ployeeS are in the right frame of mind
neither can prosper and the public can
not feel safe. A strike that is settled
and leaves either side in bad frame
of mind or embittered is not settled
right
Neither employer nor employee has
been in the right frame of mind in this
country for some time Each has been
suspicious of the other; each has held
the Otnef responsive Tor MS woes. Inc
public's mind has been similarly inf1u-
enced; there has been too much of I'M
certainty and anxiety. We must give
more attention to the state of mind
even if we have to pay less attention
to the state of the pocketbook before
we get down to stable prosperity.
1t is the state of mind in Congress
that has unsettled the world more than
anything else. Get rid of this muddle
and there will be settling down
everywhere. The world wants peace
in every department of it's existence.

RECORDS CURE FOR
WORLDS UNREST.

George l.. Record, who ran for the
Republican gubernatorial nomination
in New Jersey in 1916 and for the
Republican United States senatorial
nomination in 1918, and whom Gov
ernor RunyOn has just appointed to
the Special Taxation Commission for
New Jersey, has published pamphlet
entitled "a Nation of Home Owners"
In this pamphlet Mr. Record presents
a fundamental program of Political
action for the solution of our social
and industrial problems, as an alterna-
tive to socialism Mr.. Record believes
that competition is good thing, and
that the injustice of our existing in
dustrial system is due, not to cOInpeti-
ton, as the Socialists claim, but to the
suppression of competition by monopo-
ly, based upon the ownership of nat
ural and artificial privileges.
His remedy therefore is the abolition

Principle Not Pay.

What the people of this country need
is genuine revival of religion, a re-
ligion that will enter into business and
politics both. The sense of personal
responsibility of ones acts to the Gre
ator will cause men to forget them
selves and think only of others well
fare. Take the man that jumped his
horse and himself into the yawning
abyss in the city Of Rome. That is
what l mean by religion, faith in the
spoken word and faith that will act.
We need men of principle to run for
office, not men that are trying to get
the office because of the salary and the
pickings that go with it.

LOVING ADVERTISING.

l love advertising because it Gre
ates. | love it because there are so
many decent men in it, and so few
rascals; because it is so closely identi-
fed with the heart-beats of trade; be-
cause it attracts to its ranks the keen
est, shrewdest and finest intellects
born of womankind; because it leads
every advance of the human race be-
cause it points out the worthy things,
leaving the unworthy strewn along
life's highway; because it is the outlet
for enthusiasm, the vent for man 8
faith ia his works, the door through
which merit may venture from OBJ
security to the worlds stage; because
its lure is irresistible; because there
is no joy keener than the joy that
comes to the advertiser when the dol
lars begin to knock at his gate for en-
trance. And | love advertising be-
cause it is so indiSsOlubly linked to
the newspaper, which is in itself the
hope of the world-the mouthpiece of
all mankind-the fortress that stands
between this day and that other day
when the Imam intellect was a blank
"a day so desolate and drear that
they still call it Dark" Let us not
permit advertising to be standardized

THE COMMENTED MIND.

Sweet are the thoughts that SAVIOUR of
content;
The quiet mind is richer than crown;
Sweet are the nights in careless
slumber spent;
The poor estate scorns fortunes angry
froWn.
Such sweet content, such minds, such
sleep, such bliss,
Beggars enjoy, when princes oft do
miss.
The homely cottage that affords nor
pride, nor care,
The mean that 'grees with country
music best.
The sweet consort of mirths and
music'S fare.
Obscured life sets down a type of
bliss;
A mind content both crown and king
dom is.

DEPRESSION.

Sir William Robertson Nicoll recent
ly called attention to the fact that the
most terrible thing threatening the
world at this time is depression" But
to quote his own words:
"a novelist has recalled a medieval
legend of an angel being sent to Satan
with the message that God meant to
take from the devil all temptation with
which he had seduced mankind. To
this Satan resigned himself because he
was compelled to. But he begged of
the angel that he should be left with
just One-and the least important
which, asked the angel. Depression,
said Satan. The angel considered the
request, found that depression cut but
slight figure as a sin and went back to
heaven leaving it behind him. Good =
laughed Satan as the celestial vision
faded out. In this one gift I've secured
all"
The world owes more to its cheerful
souls than many suppose. The light
hearted, the optimistic, the good natur-
ed-those who refuse to be depressed
they are doing more for humanity than
they are credited with doing Serious
ness is well, of course, but there is a
line between seriousness and depres-
sion that should be well noted, for it is
too often the case that seriousness
shades off into depression so gradually
that one finds himself depressed when
he started out only to be serious.

The senatorial Gregsburys are pro-
ceeding on the assumption that peo-
pie have very short memories and that
a new issue can be brought up for the
next election. They seem to be right,
for doubtless something new will come
up in the course of short time and
their actions on the League of Ma
lions will be forgotten. Certainly they
will no more think of resigning than

ALL is VANITY.

, Doesn't it make you weary to hear
some big hunk of a man brag Of his
sense of humor?
Or his ear for music?
Or his memory?
OF his sticktuitiveness, or his sense
of economy, or his patriotism?
Either these traits were born in
him, or else he was grounded and
imbedded in these fundamentals by
his folks; probably by his mother.
The scatterwit is born that way,
and can't help it.
The cautious, conservative, careful,
exact child is that way from his crib ;
every time, sir.
The mothers character, and the
life of the babe months before it was
born, largely determined what the big,
bOastful fellow would have to gloat
about for forty years thence.
And the weary hours mothers
spend grounding and grinding things
into the thick, careless skulls of
boys!
Hours that seem spent all in vain,
but that leave impress for time and
eternity.
The wit you think SO well of,
the resourcefulness of your nature, the
character you have that's worth men
tiOning, is no more to your credit,
usually, than the color of your eyes,
or the shape of your nose, or the
compound fracture of the tibia, that
the old mule handed you once when
you looked over your shoulder when
you were unhitching.
And the only way you can square
your private account is to devote
your energy, and your patience, and
your best effort to the cultivation and
nurture and upbringing of some other
heir of the ages, and lucky he'll be if
has as good dad as you did.
Dragging, or feeling proud, over
mental or physical qualities is silly !;
but it's form of ego that gets the
best of us.
We hold our greatnesses all our
own, but our failures due to a mys
FERROUS providence if we would re-
verse the formula we would come
nearer the truth.
