a PLATFORM OF ONE WORD

Assemblyman Peterson, in making his campaign for re-
election on the slogan of economy, is on the right track. lie
does not need any other platform. Economy is the one big
word in this campaign and the candidate who sticks to 1t IS
going to win votes.
Incidentally the people are going to be asked at
the coming election to pass on the proposition to bond the
state for Si4 600, 900 to be spent on the various state lnstl-
buttons. Here is a chance for the voters to take a little hand
at economy themselves. Perhaps if the people will cease
pouring out the money for the public officials to use just as
often as the officials ask for it, the officials will find some way
Of financing these projects without so many bond issues and
tax increases.
The various public boards and commissions have been
on a spending spree ever since the war. Why shouldn't 'hey
spend money like water when all they have to do is to ask
for more and it is forthcoming without the least compunc-
ton? Suppose a young man who had formed the spending
habit was furnished with all the money he wanted by his
father every time he asked for more and when that was gone
more was forthcoming without any hesitancy on the part oil
the parent, why shouldn't the boy become a spendthrift?-
Would not the father rather than the boy be to blame for the
extrayagances INDUCED IN?
The same thing applies to the conduct of pubic affairs.
The taxpayers are largely to blame for the waste in public
office because of the generous manner in which they keep
putting I'D the coin whenever the spenders ask for more.
Seldom has a request for money on the part of the public OIL
dciaIs been turned down by the people. On the contrary, 1t
has usually been granted by an overwhelming majority. Ism
II about time to call a halt and tell the public officials that
thew must make what funds they already have at their dis
posal do for the present? Isn't it about time to let these
public officials known that the wild spending must cease;
hat there is not an unlimited supply of coin in the pockets
OF The people and that the ever-mounting tax rate and in
crease in bonded debt is getting irksome?
There is no doubt that the state institutions need extern
sive additions and repairs. They have needed them for a
long time. Why did the state legislature permit them to get.
in such a deplorable condition in the first place? Having
permitted it, let the state officials find a way out. They can
do it out of the savings that they could make in handling
state affairs once they find that the people are not going to
come across with more millions for the asking.
Yes, economy is the real issue in this campaign. Any
| andidate who takes that as his slogan needs no other plat
Grm this year.

A LEAKING HEART
COMMON SENSE WAYS TO KEEP WELL

eat enough good nourishing food to
keep his muscles well nourished, but
he cannot eat indigestible foods, for
this calls upon the heart for more
action.
He cannot afford to indulge in
foolish eating as a man with a
strong heart and a cast-iron stomach
thinks he can do. >
There are various forms of exer-
else which a man with a leaking
heart can take. He must have some
form of exercise or he cannot keep
his muscles in trim. He can play
tennis. ride a horse or swim. But
these must be entered into moderate
ly. He must respect his wind and
not make a heavy drain on his heart.
If he feels his heart pounding in
his chest, or in his throat and is
panty" he should stop Immediately.
The man has gone too far in his
exercise whenever he finds these
symptoms. He is doing himself harm
rather than good by such action.
The important thing TO remem-
Der about a leaky heart is that it Is
all right as long as it is strong
enough to supply the extra demand
for blood which is called for because
of the leak. Building up the Wind
is one of the best ways to do this
and for this reason it is hat exer-
cises should be taken in moderation.

COlUM DAY

October i2 is the 429th anniversary Of the discovery of
America by Christopher Columbus. All over the world it is
celebrated as Columbus Day.
What Columbus sought was a shortcut route to India,
bv way of the westward ocean.
What he discovered was more than a continent, it was
was a turning point in civilization and government.
When the fearless Italian navigator landed on the ISL
and and Guanahani, West Indies, in the early morning OF Oc-
tober 12, 1892, he opened the door of the land that made
government by the people possible.
Gold lured the early explorers of America. But it was
refugees from European political oppression that built the
foundations of the mighty civilization that has risen on the
American continent.
Individually, and as a nation, we owe a tremendous debt
10 Christopher Columbus. And let us not forget the queen
who pawned her Jewels to finance his venture into the I'M
rharted Atlantic ocean.

Will Whole Cities Wear Gas Masks
In Next War?

In connection with present discus
sion concerning the use of aircraft
in war, particularly the formation
of deadly gases to be released from
airplanes, the National Geographic
Society has issued from its WASH
ington, ID. c., headquarters the fol-
lowing bulletin:
Loaded with high explosives or
today, the modren air bomb will cave
in the whole fronts of buildings,
shatter armor, and demolish all
sorts of military objects, including
the destruction of life by concus-
sion," says the bulletin, which is
based on a communication from
Brig. Gen. William Mitchell, Assls-
TAN Chief of Air Service, u. s. a.
For instance, the whole waterfront
at Halifax was destroyed by an ex-
plosion in the harbor.
Heretofore projectiles from large
cannon have been designed TO pierce
the armor of battleships, and then
cause their effect by driving the
fragments through the bulkheads
and into the various parts or n
ship. Twenty-Five such shots went
clean through the German Flagship
Derfflinger in the Battle of Jutland,
but, aside from killing about 200 OF

five shots altogether had no more
than about 1000 pounds of explo-
sive in them.
Single Air Bomb would Wreck Ship
But one of our present air
bombs, which weighs one ton ana
contains from 1000 to 1,4O0 pounds
of explosive, dropped on her from
an airplane, would have wrecked
this ship to such an extent as to put
her completely out of action and end
her usefulness as a war vessel.

A FINE ART
BY DIR. w. f.. BARTON

Indeed, I do not like to be disap-
pointed. Being disappointed is large
ly a habit. People can make up their
minds to enjoy life, and enjoy 1t, In
spite of its inevitable trials. Or. they
can go through life disappointed IN
everything. and disappointing every
body, Chesterton says:
II have met a tourist who has
seen the great Pyramid, and who
told me that the Pyramid looked
small. Believe me, the tourist look
ed much smaller.
THE mistake of critics is not that
they criticize the world. but tina
they never criticize themselves.
Il delicateK suggested to those
who were disappointed in the Sphinx
that it was just possible the Sphinx
was disappointed in them. The
Sphinx has seen julius Caesar; it
has certainly looked on the. face of
the young Napoleon.
us it not barely possible, | limited
to my fellow tourists, that after
these experiences the Sphinx might
be a little depressed at the sight Of
you and me?"
1t is good to cultivate the fine art
of not being disappointed. One
gets more out of life, and also gives
more.

Statistics show that heart disease
kills more people annually than do
either tuberculosis r cancer In
yestigation indicates, too, that a
great many of the cases of heart dis
ease now occurring are preventable.
Under favorable conditions a leaky
heart. which is n of the forms OF
heart disease term quite elusive
can be so treated that the effect OF
the trouble will not be 'elt until old
age.
Men with sound hearts probably
can afford to live lazy lives, convert

man with a leaky heart must keep
his muscles in trim if he would nv
long.
In the case of a leaking heart,
some of the blood hat should be
pumped into the arteries leaks u
through the tiny outlets not intended
for that purpose and so the heart
must repump some of the blood each

ALL THE CITIES ARE DOING IT

city on the Delaware founded by William Penn was laid
in the first place, in such straight lines with the street
ing complete squares, that it was hardly expected a city
or zoning was necessary there. In fact, the idea is not
huch a plan as it is to restrict the character and size oil
ding in certain localities.
1t is significant that the coming commission IN Phlla-
ha has been at work for nearly two years and IS only
about ready to report. 1t is evident that planning a city
ID establishing zones is no slight task. It's something that
takes months of study and it requires the advice OF experts
along that line. Every city that has gone into this matter

the services of an expert necessary.
