For the fourth consecutive year the
Panama canal shows an excess of re-
ceipts over expenditures in the cost of
operation. For the fiscal year ending
June 80, the excess was S2,712, 700.
1t is stated that the cost of clearing
away slides in the early years of oper-
alton has been entirely wiped out by
recent favorable balances. But the
fact does not mean that the operation
of the canal shows a profit, in the or
binary business meaning of the term.
The cost OF the canal up to June 80
was S36s,543.271, representing what
would be called Invested capitar' in
a business enterprise. No attempt is
made to create a sinking fund for that
sum or to pay interest upon it, as
would be done by any well managed
private concern.

How different the youth of today
from the young people of our grand
parents time. these critics mourn. In
ideals, and were guided by a sense of
duty instead of a desire for pleasure.
They dressed sensib.y and modestIy.
They conducted themselves with dig
nifty, and were fitted TO meet the stern
/ responsibilities OF life when they came
upon them.
So much for the good old days, as
We look back to them across the space
of three-score years. but it appears
that the Jeremiahs of that day thought
Just as badly of that generation of
young people and prophesied as dire
things concerning them as the pessim-
lists OF today do about the present
crop of youngsters. For in the old
Godey's Ladies' book there is an i'm
FASHIONED article drawing an invi1ious
COMPARISON between the young men
ans women of that day and their
gre adpaI ents, and criticising the fol-
lies of 1858 just as bitterly as any
satirist ever did the follies of 1921
This voice from the grave cried
aloud against the immodesty of skirts
Twelve yards around the bottom and
thss SWEPT the earth, as We do against
hlg1 water skirts as tight as a
tro 1ser's leg. He was as much shocked
by the polka as we are by cheek 20
cheek dancing. He was as much -hor-
rifled by woman's wanting a higher
/ education as we are at the thoughts
| of free love. He thought our parents
manners just as bad as we think our
/ grandchfldren's are, and he prophe-
4 sled that our fathers and mothers
would never be fit to run the country,
! just as we prophesy the same thing
about our children.
All of which goes to show that each
generation has held precisely the same
view of the one that was to follow it.
! Age has always Iambasted youth, and
/ doubted it's wisdom, and yet the world
| has gone on.
| Our grandparents whose virtues we
now extoll, whose intelligence we now
revere, whose achievements are our
glory. were thought by their parents
1 to be illmannered cubs without sense
! or stamina, who could come to no good
end.
! This should fill us with hope for the
future, and lead us to believe that our
fears for our children are as I'M
founded as our great grandparents
were for theirs. Other times, other
] manners, and, after all, as between
, the knee length skirt that a woman
can run a race in if she so desires,
and the hoop skirt in which she was
imprisoned and helpless, is not the
advantage with the present instead of
! the past?
We do progress, tho we may not
know it at the time.

Daily Talk
PLEASE. THANK YoUi

The A-word in the alphabet of con-
sideration, I would say is-pleasei
1t is the great Smoother word of
the entire English language. One feels
like responding at once to it's sound
I am not surprised that the great
telephone companies thruout the land
have instructed their operators always
to "Number-PLEASE!"
But if this little word would be the
Alpha of the alphabet of cansidera-
ton, then I am sure that THANK you"
must be the Omega of this alphabet.
So learn them both. please" when
you desire something-and THANK
YOU" when yo have received.
Our everydays are jeweled with the
simpler courtesies. They are what
make life we'll worth the living. In
appreciation are we wrapped and
made warm.
What a pair of twin words-Please
Thank you!
In the wonderful play abraham
Lincoln I noted that this great man,
in the representation, was made to
use these words constantly-as tho it
was not second nature, but first ma
ture. To the most mediocre person
or servant did he accord these words.
I like to trade in the store where
the clerks always remember to say
Thank you" after a sale.
I like to do service-no matter what
Please creep up to me at the start
Life isn't so very long at the long,
est. The work of the busiest will
some time end. So please remember
to say "Please''-and please don't for
get to say Thank you"
Why not?
Thank you for reading this talk!

Official announcement has been
made in the British parliament that
England is about to begin payment
of the interest on her debt to the
United States. If the promise be re-
garded as dependable, it may exert an
influence on the character of the
pending tax bill. In any event the
money will come in handy and pay
ment should tend toward equalization
of the exchange rate. = Uncle Sam is
waiting to hear from other Of his
debtors. He needs the money. The
British announcement probably will
put a stop to the talk about wiping
off the slate. Interest on money
loaned in all the United States stands
to get out of the war. while her as
sociates have been greatly enriched
by additions of valuable territory.
They have acquired lands worth vast
ly more than the amount of their in
debtedness to this country. We ask
no pay for services rendered but we
do want ou- money returned.

HEART AND HOME PROBLEMS
Written for The State journal
BY ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: 1 have a
girl staying with me and she will not
work and she wants to dress finely
She is hard-headed and won't mind
She has not any mother or father and
she has been with me about three
years. She has a good chance to
marry, but she says she doesn't want
to marry and not work. She uses all
kinds of bad words. I am a poor
widow woman and 1 try to dress her
and treat her the best 1 can. viii
you please give me advice about what
to do? NJ s.
1 can't see that the girl has any
claim on you. Unless she will help
with the work, stop buying her clothes
and doing for her If you refuse to
make her bed, cook for her and wash
and iron she VIII soon realize that you
have been of great service to her in
ways she never noticed and she will
either leave your home or buckle into
the work as you want her to and do
her share.

1t has been suggested that the rail-
roads have made a mistake in failing
to keep the country informed as TO
the smount of freight rate reductions
that have been made since the ad-
vance in rates a year ago. There was
a blanket increase in rates because
it was impractieable to take up each
rate separately. Almost from the day
the rates went into effect there has
been a process of adjustment by
which hundreds of reductions have
been made, chiefly in agricultural
products ana coarse materials. In
some instances, It seems. the whole
increase Of 1920 has been removed.
The railroad bretherhoods have tried
to give the country the impress: on
that there wer no reductions until
the strike was threatened. whereas
the records show that many reduc-
lions were made by agreement be-
tween the roads ana the shippers.
Because the increase was nationwide
and on all commodities. whereas the
reductions were by piece-meaI. the
public observed the increase but did
not learn of the decreases. The rail-
roads might learn valuable lessons
in publicity from the brotherhoods
or from the promoters of the Plumb
Plan. The managers of the roads
have been busy enourh making fig
ures but thev have failed to get them
to the pcoDle.

The result of the election in New
York indicates that the combination
of Hearst and Tammany, VIII. CHI was
so effective in the presidential eiec-
ton last year, still is working. Mayor
Hylan's plurality is approximately the
same as that of President Harding a
year ago. Not by any twisting of the
facts can Hylan's election be set down
as a Democrat victory. New Workers
occasionally have been able to defeat
Tammany in an election but the Wig
wan comes back later stronger than
ever.

The Story of' a Trying Experience as
Related in the New York Tribune
by Irene Castle fireman.

I told him had spent nearly five
terrible hours trying to comfort the
little dog, and that I could wait no
longer to have her leg set He said
he would need two assistants ana
could not set it alone. 1 had a friend
with me and we both offered to help
hold her, but the doctor seemed so
unwilling to take care of the case that
asked if he knew any one else in his
profession who could be induced to set
a leg at O'Clock in the morning
He only referred me again to the doc
tor, who, as I have said. was out of
town, and I was compelled to leave
after two visits, having accomplished
nothing. I suddenly remembered a
hospital where I have a number of
friends and my dogs have always re-
ceived the kindest and most consider
ate care. We drove down there and
round Doctor --, who had the leg
set in about ten minutes with the as

Already, heads of the rail brother
FOODS have threatened to revive the
strike vote in the event that they don't

moment the impending strike ap-
peared to have been sidetracked, the
poison still turks in the formula. We

ON SECOND THOUGHT

(From Philadelphia Public Ledger)

SHUTDOWN.
When my sun of life is low,
When the dewy shadows creep,
Say for me before l go,
Now l lay me down to Sleep
I am at the journeys end
1 have sown and l must reap;
There are no more ways to mend
Now lay me down to sleep.
Nothing more to doubt or dare.
Nothing more to give or keep;
Say for me the childrens prayer,
Now l lay me down to sleep"
Who has learned along the way
Primrose path or stony steep
More Of wisdom than TO say,
Now lay me down to sleep"
What have you more wise to tell
When the shadows round me ereepf
All is over, all is we'll,
Now lay me down to sleep.
When Bert Lesion Taylor died in
Chicago last March the collected
verse of "a Penny whistle was ready
for his publisher. This merely is to
say the book is out, and that 'Sun-
down" is one of its few minor chords.
There are those who say "B. L. T."
wrote the best light verse of his time.
We don't pretend to know. But we
do know what we like, and we like it.
And how it would have intrigued
B. L. T. to hear another columnist
say, But we do know what we like"
How he would have 1eaped upon that
phrase.
The betting as the column goes to
press is seven to one on Mayor Hy-
Ian. Impartial judges of the situation
estimate, his majority all the way
from $4,000 to 100000 votes. Prob
ably nobody who reads the column
cares much about what happens in
New York. 1t is, we assure you, al
most nothing to us But we think we
know what the trouble is. The New
York papers have hollered Wolf" so
often the people no longer rush to the
rescue.
If the newspapers of the country
would only coneede that rabbits are
well meaning and harmless, they
might be able to beat wolf now
and then.

Slowly but surely, says the Sioux
City Tribune, with continued enor-
NOUS spendings. the government is
being forced to the general sales tax
TO raise funds. However, congress
hesitates to enact it, because when
the public sees taxes leaving its pock-
ct it becomes aware OF government
extrava gance. But If the sales tax
can be attached to soldiers compen-
sation, the psychological effect OF the
purpose will take some of the curse
OF the tax. Furthermore, by delay
ing until the next session, congress
viii be- able to throw the beginning Of
collections beyond the 1922 congress
siona1 elections. The public forgets
Oncom-ng elections, but the politicians
constantly keep them in mind.

The effort of Thomas w Lamont

has ended in failure. and he has re-
turned to New York. Mr.. Lamont
spent some time in Mexico City as

committee seeking to find some way
out of the fiscal tangles in which
continued revolutions, an impossible
constitution, and impracticable laws
