The personal pride of the man with
the violated waist line is marked, but
it does not compare with that of the
man who wears the longest whiskers
ers that fall below the waistcoat is
regarded by those who have perform
ed the feat as. career.
Il read your column every day"
writes an enthusia stic-possibly a too
enthusiastic reader. Which is all right,
as lar as 1t goes. We do not under
value the slightest expression of conf
dence and esteem. But out west they
always used to add. That's the only
; thing We take the paper for Is
Phna deiphia. We desire to ask, is
Philadelphia and its environs less en-
shusiastic, less appreciative, than the
boundless west?"

Why" writes reader do You
play everything down? Why do you
steadfastly refuse to recognize the
gravity or the various issues that af-
feet the state and nation? % Writing
an answer to that is so easy that roll

more dangerous to the community, is
sanctioned and encouraged.
One of the chief needsNof the coun-

The people lean heavily upon the
newspapers for inspiration and for in
formation. Taken as n whole, they
can be effectively reached thru no
other medium. II We can within the

noted, assist even in the slightst man

MIR McAdoo boasts that there was
no panic during the six years he was
secretary of the treasury, the infer
ence being that his financial policies
therefore. are sound. But the prob
ability is strong that there will be no
panic within the next six years if the
federal reserve banking act continue
in good working order.

One of the leaders in the Communist
Labor party in the east is William
Bross Lloyd. who is millionaire sew
eraI times over. and a stranger to la
