THAT the average American family
now is spending $500 per week, or
$348. 90 annually. for things that are
classed as luxuries, is the claim of Miss
Edith Strauss, head Of the women
activities division of the department of
justice high cost of living investigation
campaign, and that the total bill for
luxuries in 1919 was $8,710, 900, 900; of
this amount two billions were charged
up against automobiles. We might,
perhaps, deduct that amount at once;
the automobile was a luxury while it
served only for pleasure; not SO now;
the automobile is not a luxury; in mod
ern American life it has become a
necessity as much as is the truck, the
trailer, and the railway and the ship.
Automobiles are not in a class with
chewing gum which costs the nation
$50, 900, 900, and perfumes and cosmet-
les which caused our national debit
sheet to carry the record of $780,
600, 900. Figures of this sort must be
taken figuratively. An OK team would
be more of a luxury today than is an
automobile. Some of the commissions,
committees and campaigns INDUCED in
by the American government come
nearer the luxury class of articles than
are some of those mentioned in the
lists of luxuries prepared to charge us
with reckless spending.

The young fellow who was taken in
to the custody of the law the other day
for raising check from $500 to $50. 90
boosted that he could make from So. 90
to $1,000 per day. While there may be
no direct cause and effect relation be-
tween high pay and vicious habits, it is
significant that the number of jobs and
the high pay for the service have not
tended to render better and more effic-
lent service, but rather the reverse.
The liberality of the pay seems rather
to have blunted the sense of RESPONSE
bility and left the conscience weakened.
This breakdown in character is not af-
fecting the workers of mature years.
Many of them are steady on the job in
their accustomed positions at wages
that have not advanced in proportion
to their length of service aad the fidel-
ity of their service. It is he younger
class who has awakened with q golden
spoon in their mouth that is lacking IN
the feeling of the responsibility it owes
to society. The abundance of returns
for their services has given them a
false notion of what society owes them,
and of the liberty they have in using
their earnings. And with them the
abundance of jobs and the high pay
have become, apparently, cause to
develop habits that lead to the plight
in which the unfortunate young fellow,
referred to above, found himself. The
old proverb is true: 1t requires strong
back to carry prosperity.

officers for the Richmond County
Building & Mutual Loan Association
that Is scheduled for tonight at the
Office of the association in Main

spirited. Since the notices were sent

has been made in Pleasant Plains, It
Is said, in the interest of Walter D.
Wood, who was nominated at the
December meeting after the name Of

withdrawn after an objection of an
other real estate man was not wanted
on the board of directors.
Many of the stockholders of the
association, especially those residing
in To~ttenville, have o received one
of the proxy votes which seemed to
have been sent out to people resid-

BOOM EUGEAT AS WET"
CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT

By Special Correspondent.
TRENTON, Jan. Thames r. Nu-
gent for the Democratic nomination
for president on a wet" platform.
That was the boom launched here
by the twelve Essex county
members of the House of Assembly.
James f. Hyland of Newark, one of
their number, moved that Mr.. Nugent
be invited to become a candidate for
the nomination. Hyland, 1t will be
remembered, was the man who started
the movement last year among the
Essex Democrats inviting Nugent to
run for the Democratic nomination for
Governor at the primaries in which
he pulled nearly $4,000 votes, Assem-
blyman Fred w. DeVoe. of Middlesex,
was quoted yesterday hero as saying
that he would work for the Nugent
candidacy in that county and believed
it would win large support there.
Mr.. Nugent was not inclined to talk
about the matter. IT'S news to me
and also a great surprise as we'll as a
great compliment" he said. How
ever, thus far 1 am not taking the
matter seriously. At the same time
the virlle manhood of America should
endeavor to assert itself and regain
the right of personal liberty which
was guaranteed by the founders Of
this great nation. There is no doubt
a strong reaction a set in
against sumptuary legislation that has
been forced w~illy-nil!y through the
legislatures of this country. No
change should be made in the funda-
mental law of the land or the consti-
tuition Of the country without first
giving the right to the people to as
sert themselves on the question at
