WANTED--OPTIMISM,

The big men Of the business world talk hope
fully about the trade outlook. Small folks of a
timorous nature are circulating their fears, and
adding something to current uncertainty But the
men of great interests like Judge Gary of United
States Steel, find basic conditions sound and bust
ness revival certain
All the difficulty with the present business
situation is that many people, troubled by high
prices, slowed up little buying. Yet to hear
some people talk, would think everybody had
quit purchasing anything at all. You ask the aver
age householder how far he has stopped. He will
tell you he is spending very nearly his entire in
come. His money is all going into circulation
He may have held up purchases to see
what offers would be made after January l. But
people have to keep buying food every day, and
many household and business needs must con-
stantly be supplied. Those who are earning will not
suffer their families to without the usual neces
saries of life. People are looking over the news

AS the People View 1t

where there is no law or supreme
power; a state of lawlessness,
hence confusion and disorder. Boil
shevism or anarchy in the modern
form, aims directly at the destruc-
ton of all forms of society, relig-
ion and government. 1t offers no
solution of the problems of human
ity, no hope beyond the grave, or
even on this side of it, no recogni-
ton of the condition which must
obtain if they succeed in destroying
society, but it contents itself with
declaring that the present duty is
tearing down, and the work of
building up, if it ever comes at all,
must come later. The pursuit of
their aVowed purpose, is to eXtin-
guish every religion if possible, de-
stroy all God-given liberties of hui
mainly, and set up a despotism
more terrible than the dark ages.
Their creed despises the obligation
of marriage contracts, impeaches
the integrity of domestic life, en-
ters into the homes of the people
to pull down their affairs and sub
iect the family relations, which are
the chief bonds of society, to the
caprices of the loafer and libertine.
The dangerous class Is not al
ways the illiterate. The leaders of
the laWless are often those who have
been trained in science in letters,
but from lack of conscience and
moral culture they become a me-
mace to society. Surely our immi-
grafton laws should be revised and
measures taken to prevent the in
coming of the vicious and depraved
from bath Europe and Asia. There
is an immigration bill up before
congress and l hope quick action
is taken in it and that all the
trimmings necessary to make the
bill completely American are adj
ded:
From three to five years would
be long enough to extend drastic
restriction or just long enough to
cover the period of European re-
construction. Some persons seem
to think immigration can be con-
troIled at source or by foreign gov
ernments cooperating with ours,
by not issuing passports until our
officials announce the exact class
of immigrants that would be well
coined here. 1t is a grave problem
and we must be alert to the dan
gers of friendly understanding. A
law on the statute books is safe and
if necessary let us carry out dras-
tic measures of exclusive legisla-
ton. w. G. HALTHuSEN.

written at my request by another
bride-friend who had never tried
the budget system; I suggested
that she take pencil and paper and
write down truthfully as much as
she could remember Of what she
had done the day before, and this
is what she Wrote-humorous, but
a fine illustration of my point;
700 A. M, got breakfast; 1880
ate it with my husband; 500 col
lected Freds hat, coat, rubbers
and umbrella and saw him off;
$3.50 still stood at the front win
dow; Fred was long since out of
sight, but l was studying my re-
Election in the window pane and
wondering if l should do my hair
differently; 900 can't remember
what | did-prObably not much;
1890 did the ordering which
had meant to do before nine; l0:l5
did up the bedroom, sweeping it;
400 started lunch, then went to
the telephone and asked a girl
friend to drop in on me in the
afternoon, at 400; 11:15 returned
to the Kitchen just in time to
save the lunch from burning;
1900 had lunch with Fred, after
which 1 washed the dishes and
got ready to go downtown; we
needed a new gas mantel fer the
living room drOplight and
thought l could get back before
my friend came; 200 caught a
trolley and almost reached the
gas-mantel store, but my attention
was attracted by a woman who
was demonstrating electrical APP
planes and watched her until
it was too late to get the mantel,
so rushed home again"
There is no need to quote more
of this record of dallying. 1 think
it proves that without a time bud
get one is apt to dwadle. In other
words, a time budget gives one an
appreciation of the swiftly-passing
moments.

GETTING INTO BUSINESS.

The considerable number of failures noted in
commercial reports is misleading since so many of
these bad ventures made by people who
should have gone into business for themselves
Many people entertain extravagant hopes of the
money that can be made in small stores.
Success in retail trade is not easy. The field is
already too crowded. There is room for fellow
who will make thorough study of his line and of
the principles of craftsmanship and merchandising
and who will advertise his business and show en-
terprise.
There is no room for those who go into it for
an easy life, or just to take what trade happens
along by chance. People of that kind need to be
under discipline Of a systematized business organ
zation and are not fitted for Independent initiative

Then turning to Mrs, Randall,
Sue is a famous cook. We are all
quite jealous of her"
"She cooks very we'll" Mrs.
Randall replied, but crullers are
very unhealthy food, especially at
night"
Hurriddly I found the recipe,
and Helen departed.

Bolshevism i'm America.


| Editor Morning Journal.
| am cogniZant of the fact that
many of our daily newspapers,
magazines and periodicals are
publishing a great many articles
from the pens of individuals who
espouse the doctrines of anarchy,
bolshevism, /. w. W.ism. and all
other cultisms and are planting the
seed of social unrest and discon-
tent in the hearts of many of our
citizens. Many of these writer's are
graduates of the school of Emma
Goldman and Beckman and clearly
we have the right and it is our sor
emn duty to suppress to the fullest
extent the utterances of these
atrocious creatures.
For many years have read
these obnoxious articles, but could
never make myself believe that the
seed planted by Karl Marx or 9TH
er writers of that type could be
firmly rooted and cultivated to
grow in the minds of Americans
who have had advantages of lib
eral education and brought up un-
der the freest laws ever given to a
people. | believe in the freedom
of the press, liberty of speech, and
free institutions under which we
are governed and live, in so far
that it does not border on treason
or sedition, but when it comes to
open declarations by writer's and
soap box orators that they believe
in the soviet rule as practiced in
Russia, that the doctrine of
Lenine and Trotsky should be made
use of as a propaganda to breed so
cial unrest and with the ultimate
end to overthrow our present form
of government, then / say it is time
for our legislative bodies, both
state and national, to enact laws to
safeguard our institutions, and TO
see that such laws are carried out
Our lawmakers know that they are
backed up by American men ana
women who will assist them to tof-
ever wipe out such dangerous doc
trines. There remains to be tram
pied under foot an element Of our
population, countenanced and sus-
tanned by an unbridled press, an
unDrincipled rostrum, preaching
the gospel of discomfort and the
men of America know what it is to
uphold the flag of free institutions
and. to stamp out anarchy, bolshe-
vism and the. radical wing of So
cialism as it would stamp out O.
plague.
Bolshevism means the absence
of government, the state of society

A "TIME BUDGET PAYS


One of the best shortcuts in
housekeeping that have been dis
covered, is the time budget. This
time budget, or working schedule,
is made out by the housekeeper
and covers her working day from
the time she rises in the morning
to the time she washes the dinner
dishes at night. Every hour is
accounted for. The following one
is a good example. 1t is the Satur-
day time budget of a bride who
lives in a city apartment:
900 A. NJ, get up and start
breakfast; 1880 John and l have
breakfast together; 500 | wave
John Off, then turn my attention
to ordering. $50 go to the tele-
phone and order from butcher and
grocer: S:45 wash breakfast dish
es: 800 put the bedroom to rights;
$3.50 start baking, doing bread, two
pies and two Cakes( to last over
Sunday; 11:30 start lunch for
John, then go into the living room
and rest moment, reading the
newspaper (to keep up with John
mentally; 1890 put lunch on the
table and John (who is home at
that time) and l have lunch to-
gether; 1:45 wash the luncheon
dishes and put the dinner in the
firelcss cooker; 200 start to q
matinee with John Eve always go
on Saturday afternOon); 600 re-
turn home and put the dinner on
the table, from the fireless cooker;
700 wash the dinner dishes and
sit down with John in the living
room to read"
That little bride does scientific
housekeeping. She does not putter
at work and daily through it, for
getting half the tasks she had in
tended to do. She works while she
works and plays while she plays.
she has her clever plans all laid
out. and she follows them. How
different is this record which was
