TOO MUCH MONEY

Sometimes we wonder if it is good
for the American people to have so
much money.
Of course the natural instinct of
man is to accumulate as much
money as possible, and money is II
decided necessity these days.
But it is possible to have too
much of a good thing.
The war has made America fab
ulously rich, the envy of all nations
Men who in 1914 had nothing now
are comfortably well off. Others
who had modest sum six year,
ago are rolling in wealth.
The result You see it every day
In the, uities il is more apparen,
than in. the country towns. In the
big cities no manufacturer will pro-
duce. no middle man will distribute
and no merchant will sell an article
at reasonable profit. All seem ia
want to get rich quick.
Employees demand prohibitive
wages, work about as they please
and in many eases are becoming
about as Inefficient ms could he i'm
agined. Instead of the employer be-
ing the master of his own business
his hired help practically tells him
where he gets off.
The war produced the profiteer
and for the sake of easy money he
refuses 10 loosen his grip upon the
country.
Buildings are thrown together in
slipshod manner and inferior mater.
ials are used, all for the sake OF
cutting expenses and increasing pro
fits to abnormal.
In the manufacturing world it is
the same. Quality is sacrificed foi
profits, or where quality does pre-.
vail the price becomes almost pro.
hibitive.
OF course there are some eycep.
tons 10 this rule, but the exception,
ARE Few and difficult 10 find.

The ease with which money has
been accumulated during the past
six years has produced this state
of affairs. 1t is not conducive to
the future welfare of our country.
But we have faith in America and
in American people.
/, We are in the temporary grip of a
hysterical mania for the rapid ac-
cumulation of wealth, but we believe
that this mania will pass away i'll
time and permit a return to the sane
and, rational methods which pre-
vailed prior to the outbreak Of the
war.
HugBut it will require time and we
must employ infinite patience in
bringing it about.
Americans are too sensible to ira
vel far on the road that leads to
destruction.
Even the lure of unlimited gold
cannot deprive them entirely of their
common sense.

Holyoke citizens can well feel
proud of the general appearance OF
the town.
With wide streets, splendid walks
and the other attributes of an up-to-
date progressive community, We can
feel mat many of the necessary
steps have been taken to secure the
commendation Of visiting strangers,
There are still some measures
which should be taken 10 improve
the general appearance Of The town
One of these is the removal OF
garbage and tin cans which have
been dumped along the railroad
track. Passengers on board The
train from the west get n very un-
satisfactory impression of Holyokc
as the train enters the town. The
appearance is more that of the slum
section of an old world city than
the outskirts Of an enterprising
western town.
Our trees should be protected
wherever possible, new trees planted
every year, and care taken to pre-
serve what we have.
If constant effort is made for
improvements along these lines,
Holyoke will soon be known as a
real city beautiful.

$50 to church Sunday This ad-

yet with some it has never been
needed. Possibly there was n flaw
in the giving. It may not have con-

one who needs # most. Yet there is
no enc SO hardened and so sinful
but what he can enjoy an hour in

stray in accidentally become regular

Editorial NOTES

Never try to explain failure.
Your friends know all about it.
Often the man who never lends
or borrows hasn't the ability to do
either.
Even the most hardened political
trickster becomes Il great man after
death.
We hasten to join our brothers
of the press in saying nice things
of the slain Carranza. We may want
the same courtesy when We kick off.
Modern civilization is popular in
ut least one respect. 1t is becoming
n great aid TO the double standard
of morality.
There is one sweet consolation
in being poor. We don't have to
worry over how TO prevent the gov
efnlhcht from hneNlng The most oil

With Carranza in his grave at
the hands of n treacherous and bru-
tai assassin, there is possibility
of return to something like nor
NAL conditions in Mexico. A pos

thur Conan Doyle to get in touch
with the spirits of the victims of
the many unsolved murders which
have lately occurred here. Thus
it is aimed to bring the guilty to
account and at the same time to
prove the genuineness. of spiritual
ism's claim to be able to purge the
world.
The great crime wave spreading
over England has left in its wake an
appalling number of murders which
have defied solution. The request,
however, is not made in the spirit of
challenge, but is rather a heartfelt
appeal from the women on account
of the constantly increasing attacks
and murders in which the victims
are mostly women and girls.
The number of unidentified MUIR
derers ard desperate criminals known
to be at large is causing the most
wide spread feminine uneaslness
and many women are even afraid to
travel in the railway trains because
the criminals are resorting to the
boldest tactics.
One woman, travelling from Te-
plymouth to London with some val
