THE SUBSTANTIAL CITIZEN

The American home Is the corner
stone Of the nation. II promotes the
stability Of the family, stimulates the
love OF our country, and is the best
safeguard Of law and order In so
ciety.
Few people really like TO live In
hotels and apartment houses or eat
in a restaurant In preference to the
eDjoyments of home. but many do
so because Of barriers Of one kind
and another which stand In the way
Of the home.
Building costs are more than offset
by high rents being charged. Home
building today is business the same
as banking and an energetic man can
finance home through a long time
Ioan II he wishes.
The ownership Of a bit Of real
estate is fine thing from every point
Of view. II gives the holder a stand
ing and self respect he would not
otherwise have. II promotes busi-
ness confidence In him and makes
him one of the substantial upstand.
ing pillars Of the community.
Begin 1t today. Own your own
home. Get In line to be the solid cit
izen Of tomorrow.

THEY'LL BITE ANYHOW

They are now talking Of new
Kind Of insurance. Some one has
organized stock company In which
q man may take little stock and
after while his stock dividends will
pay the premiums on a $4,000 policy,
or something Of that kind. 1t IL
holding out to the unsuspecting who
want to get something for nothing,
another gilded hope. We would not
be surprised to have the organizers
come into Kansas for they have been
very successful with all kinds Of
schemes in a state that Ia regarded
as being full Of money with which
the people do not know what to do.
OF course, the newspapers will
sound warnings as they did about
packing house companies and oil
schemes year ago, but Of course
the people will bite. just as suckers
do in the water, and before they are
through some will swallow more than
the tempting bait that Is held out to
them. But a wise man who has a
hundred or thousand dollars will
invest 1t in high grade securities that
are now offered and a man who
wants still more Is not on very
safe road to making investments.

there be-whO think that the con-
sumner pays for advertising:
A man went into furniture store
the proprietor Of which does not
advertise---t0 purchase patented de-
(, vice of brass which he wished to
use as a drawer handle. The dealer
asked 65 cents for II. The custom
er demurred, because he had paid but
20 cents for the article In the same
store before the war. and he thought
the advance In price was excessive.
The dealer explained that the ad-
vance was legitimate, and that any
how the price couldn't be beaten. as
he was able to do business on small
profits because he didn't advertise.
The customer was uncOnvinced. He
decided that he eould do without the
article but az matter Of curiosity
he went to another store, whose ad-
vertisements he had seen In the daily
papers, and found the same thing on
sale at 20 cents. .s~,xf xf..llIAaws

DIRTY HANDS

One Of the largest newspapers in
America which Is strong advocate
Of socialism and government owner
ship Of railroads publishes eulogy
Of the wonderful management under
temporary government operation and
then proceeds to condemn the roads
for the Increases In freight and pass
enger rates which thy are asking.
The article says that under govern
meDt ownership the increases would
not be necessary.
Why lie to the people about mat
ters Of fact? 1t Is common knowledge
that as soon as the roads were tax
en- over by, the government, during
the war, rates were Immediately in
creased more than the roads had ever
asked and the public had to pay
without kick. These increases
were Immediately swallowed by
wage increases granted for political
purposes and when the government
turned the roads back to private own
ership the taxpayers had been re-
luired to dig up some $3.50. 200, 900
Tor expenses which railroad revenue
lnder increased rates had not cover
I'd during the period under govern
nent control.
Why not tell the truth to the peo-
DE? II government operation had
either the taxpayers would
lave had to make up annual deficits
IS they did for two years. or rates
would have had to be increased as
he roads are now asking. or the
american railroad system would go
nto bankruptcy.
The newspaper which is mislead-
ng the public as to the facts in this
ase has increased its subscription
ates more than 200 per cent and it's
rates in proportion
lore than double total increases al
eady granted or asked by railroads.
Does such az advocate appear in
Durt with clean hands? 1
