PAYING FOR THINGS TWICE.

The American system of government was created
many years ago when business methods and eco
nomic conditions were entirely different. 1t is an
tiQuated in many ways.
In some states two more boards Of assessors,
representing city and county, and possibly the state,
are sent the same ground each year.
In some places the people pay for three sets of
officers to keep the peace: Local police. 3
County sheriff and his deputies. State police
And so one could go on with long list of duplicated
functions.
In most states a new commission is established
whenever it is desired to work out some new idea.
If private business were handling all these ser
vices, overlapping would be cut out. If idea
taken up, it would be handled by some existing
department When the people get ready to run their
government like a successful business, they re-

THE FAILURE.

THE FAILURE.
I'd rather be a failure than the man who's never
tried,
I'd rather seek 1.-The mountain top than always
stand aside;
oh, let me hold some lofty dream and make my
desperate fight,
And though I fail, l still shall know tried to
the right.
The idlers line the ways Of life and they are
quick to sheer.
They note the failing strength of man and greet
it with jeer,
But there is something deep inside which scoffers
fail to view .... ..a.. ....
They never see the glorious deed the failure
tried to do.
Some men there are who never leave the citys

They never know the dangers grim the bold adj
venturer meets,

They never risk with failure to advance the
cause of man.
oh, better it's to fail and fall in sorrow and
despair, .....
Than stand where all is safe and sure and never
face care;

ANOTHER COLD SUNDAY
DINNER MENU.

| have received several letters
from my readers asking me to
print more menus for cold Sunday
dinners for hot weather. Each of
these letters says that the CORE
spondent's husband was delighted
with the idea of having his wife
out on the porch with him, on his
one day of rest, rather than in
the kitchen toiling over hot dim
liner. MY husband suggested that,
as long as the meal was to be cold,
we'd better eat it in the woods"
says one of these letters, so we
tried this plan, going in our auto
to u beautiful spot ten miles away
and we enjoyed our Sunday so
much"' 5 -.
In all of the letters I receive
from my readers l find evidence
of this sort of helpful cooperation
on the part of the housekeepers

the man of today appreciates a
wife who is a conscientious house.

those long-ago days when good
housekeeping was rated next to
religion in the category of wom-
ans virtues.

for her labors. AS she sows, so
she reaps. .-..
one of the letters above men,

that the senders' husband declared
that he would enjoy his own Sum
day three times more if she would
stop cooking him warm dinners.

The Slump in Gold.

Editor Morning Journal:
f You and your correspondents
seem to think the government can
find some means of adding SAVIOR
to salt that has lost its SAVIOR.
Please explain to me how gold can
be made more valuable by legisla-
ton. 1t is my understanding that
when the government coins a gold
dollar or some multiple of the
dollar it does nothing more than
Ecertify to the weight of the COIN
Ii. e., 25.S grains per dollar. Does
mot a loser" want the mint to try
to fool us, and how long does he
think we would stay fooled? Is the
price of gold for use as ieWelry,
etc, practicable, and what would
prevent the coins from being melt
ed up if they should be worth
more as jewelry? l am interested
in the mining camps of Oatman
and Kingman, Ariz., and l would
like to see a practical solution to
this problem. am inclined to
| the belief that the inflated cOndi-
ton of federal reserve notes is re-
sponsible for the small purchasing
power of 25,8 grains of gold. Am
wrong? l understand the law
prohibits the banks of one district
from passing out over their coGn-
tiers the notes of another district,
and yet it is done. How do they
get around the law, Such n pro-
vision of the Canadian law is en-
forced and is very effective to con-
tract the currency. A deflation
might help, but we of the west are
up against the condition that the
United States has obtained most
of the worlds supply of gold dur"
ing the war, and we have too
much. Let's invent some new uses
for gold.

CHORUS GIRL FROLICS
HER WAY INTO HEARTS OF
THREE CRUSTY BACHELORS

The popular idea of a show girl is
life of ease, of }ob5te. palaces and
midninght frolics, but this is all dis
PEELED in actual realities as shown by
Constance Talmadge in 1.-TWO
Weeks" a First National picture
adapted from Anthony Wharton's
play "At the Barn." It will be shown
at the PaStilne theatre, on Saturday.
Constance Talmadge and her two
chums are of the charr.;;i lid half the
time cut of work. Unconventional,
but too strict to overstep the boun-
daries, they are invited to few din
ners, and do their own cooking in a
tiny fiat which they also keep in or
der themselves. II is dull and drab
existence, the three Ui.en counting
the change to find if they have
enough to buy tho rev. mornings
breakfast.
Then there suddenly comes a great
change in fortunes in this story of
little chorus girl who is elevated to
stardom by a wealthy young man
about-town, who falls in love with
her. And as usual r. demands pay
ment for financing her and making
her the success of the season.,
Fleeing from the too ardent WOO
er, the little show girl takes refuge
in the house of three crusty old bach
elors where she spends two delight
full weeks shocking them and vamp-
ing them until all are in love with
her. .
