The "New Freedom" In Action

There is an old and not get dis
credited economic maxim to the eff
feet that man will not work beyond
The point necessary TO satisfy his
leeds and wants. II is based on the
natural inertia of the human animal
which is only a polite term for or
binary laziness.
A London correspondent in Rou
mania describes the conditions there.
particularly OF agriculture, and his
report seems TO bear out this old max
i'm. He found that practically no
wheat had been sow'n, actually only
one twenty fifth Of the usual acreage.
II outside supplies are unobtaina bye
prospect OF famine. The new class
Of peasant proprietors are entirery
responsible for this state of affairs"
he says. They have harvested suf-
Hcient 1919 crop for their own per-
pigs and fowls, leaving the remainder
to rot on the ground"
They argue that for hundreds OF
years they have been exploited by
the rich and the townspeople, given
no land, and forced to work In
condition bordering on slavery. Now
they are free and own IS per cent or
the land and they insist that they are
rot going to work any more to sup
port the other classes Of the COM
munity. Likewise the non-landhold-
ers refuse to work on the land which
is not in the hands of these new
proprietors.
Similar conditions exist in Serbia
and Bulgaria, whatever agricultural
work there is, being done by women
and girls. Food is scarce in the mar
kets. prices are exorbitant and po-
lj,ical feuds and intrigues occupy the
time Of the governing classes. The
general impression that the lana.
holders of former times prospered
simply by holding land appears to
prevail and the new proprietors are
due for a jolt when they find out
there is no magic which they them
selves Go not participate to bring
about.
The new freedom" the sudden self
determination of these people is
something which they do not know
how to handle. Bo1shevism has also
had its effect and the disposition not

recommendations

The Auditor would suggest the following
points to be taken into considerations:
/. The municipal accounts OF the City OF
Wildwood should be handled on a double
entry basis instead of the plan now in use.
The present plan of operation is not based on
the definite requirements OF the law, nor is 1t
capable OF picturing the exact facts.
2 Separate accounts should be opened in
Subsidiary Fund Ledgers with each authori-
zation to spend money.
3. A distinction should be made between
fund and Proprietary Accounts.
A.. The employment of a regular purchasing
agent to buy all materials and supplies used
by the city, the purchasing agent to nave the
authority to establish and maintain a pur-
chase order system that would be effective in
determining the actual use and purpose OF all
materials and supplies received by his de-
partment.
5. The need and ad Instability of keeping
cost and statistical records in order to furnish
a proper basis for intelligent budget making.
8. The operating activities should be retec-
ted not only in the Monthly Operation State
ments, but should become equally evident
through changes in the Municipal Balance
Sheet.

City Clerk.

Mrs. FeIckert Says the Women
Should Get Off the Fence

Morristown, July 29.-At q dinner
given by State Senator Arthur Whitney
at his home nesr R~alston, last night to
a number of State Republican leaders,
Mrs. E. F. Feickeit, of North Plainffeld,
who is chairman Of the suffrage ratifi-
cation committee and vice-chairman
OF the Republican State COMMITTEES
of New jersey, said that she had found
many women voters throughout the
country unable to determine their poll
tics and were sitting on the fence.
This is a most unIsdy-like thing to
do,n she added, "and they must be
brought down."

SHOULD FAIRY TALES BE ABOLISHED?

'Some educationalists are proposing the abolition of fairy
tales-a proposal that will distress all lovers of truth says
G.. K. Chesterton in the August issue of Hearsts Magazine.
Beginning with 'FThe story of Cinderella is a poem in praise
of punctuaity, he lures the unsuspechng reader into a
mathematical consideration of beans versus an imaginative
conception of beanstaks sufficient to reach to the moon, the
purpose and the end of which is to deplore the ''vague
appetite for BEANS which I" is all the progressive person of
to-day demands or has a taste for.'
MI. Chesterton suggests that ''just as school children are
given exercises and extracts to be translated from English
into French or from English into Latin, they should be given
extracts to translate from English into plain English Sand
if you attempt - he says, $40 substitute any longer or more
learned words for those short words, the picture, instead of
becoming sharper and more detailed, will in fact become
more shapeless and unconvincing"
Passing from the case of the children to the "mature per-
son. Mr.. Chesterton deplores our labyrinthine efforts at
expression. "Most of the remarks a highly modern and
mature person makes in conversation or print, are more or
less inconsequent and incomprehensible, because he uses
many more words than he needs, and above all, because he
uses them not SO much to express his meaning as to find out
what his meaning is. He is generally thinking, not of some
actual thing, but of a thin string of association connecting a
number of things which very often have nothing to do with
each other or with the matter under discussion
