THE LESSON OF THRIFT.

Hundreds OF voorhees, men psraicd
through certain section OF New
York CITY last week. bearing banners
telling of their economic plight. one
cool headed observer wrote this COM
nent. after viewing the entire pro
ce-sion:
It'll was noticeable that many of
tHe4n were wearing the silk shirts
bought in the flush days that are
gone.
Has anyone forgot the DAYS when
~orkmen woo&d walk into a hal-er-
dashery. contemptaoussy brush aside
the S. shirts, and say. Show me
something that aint cheap And
have w~ forgot the same days when
the white collar boys would saunter
into motor sho~roonrs. and demand Of
the salesman. Show me n real car
don't want anything cheap. nothing
under $500"
Well. as the observer is quoted
above, the silk shirt wearers are hold
ing unemployment parades in some
cities, and everywhere the gay young
plungers are trying TO get friendly
"uncles" TO advance enough money cn
the "old boat" so as TO pay room-rent.
The lesson OF thrift is SO seldom
learned. except after man has passed
through the crucible of experience.
The wise man heeds the words of his
banker. who says. Put some Of that
aside il. per cent bonds" The foolish
one harkens TO the siren. beckoning
him on to the financial whirlpool No
system Of political economy will ever
provide ease for all the people, for
not all have the foresight to provide
against the unknown future.

led tho 100 prominent Republicans

made public last wvsk = letter to Prv~i-
dent Harding IN which he asked the
latter for his world league plan. In
that letter no gave sufficient reasons

Furthermore. he stated clearly that II
the President refuses to lead the way
for world peace. that "there will be
nothing left for those who want
America TO play her rightful part In
stabilizing the world but to organize
the country SO an to capture Con-
gress for the League In 1922. and the
Presidency in 1924
Mr.. Harding. OF course, has done the
expected thing. He has let IL be
known that he intends TO ignore MIR.
Holt's letter. IL appears that he places
party harmony before world peace.
However. Mr.. Harding cannot well
ignore all of the American people
especially those who demand that he
quit playing petty party politics, and
that he lead the way toward that
world security for which American
soldiers fought.
In three months time Mr.. Hard
ing has enjoyed one continued series
of parties and festivities In his honor.
By now he should be willing to keep
few OF the campaign pledges which
he SO freely made. The world wants
peace. whether the master minds Mt
Washington desire II or not; the world
wants stability. whether the master
minds want IL or not. The world
wants to see the President OF the

tive which will be not for the better

THE INTERNATIONAL COURT.

Elihu Root, our own George Gray.
John Bassett Moore, and Oscar +.
Straus have been invited by the coun-
ell of the League of Nations to propose
the names OF four persons as candi-
dates for election as judges OF the in
ternational court of justice. The four
gentlemen mentioned will act i'm their
capacity as members OF the Hague ar
hitratiou tribunal. only two OF the
men nominated by them can be
Americans: and all OF the candidates,
in order 60 be elected must be chosen
both by the assembly and the coun-
Gil OF the League OF Nations.
This international court of Justice
was the one devised by Elihu Root,
the idea OF which has been approved
10y President Harding.
This matter places the United States
in an embarrassing position. An
American-Elihu Root--devises the
international court OF Justice; Presi-
dent Harding approves OF It: the coun-
Gil of the League OF Nations requests
four Americans to nominate judges
to sit on the court; yet this country
has never entered the League of Ma
tions. and ono George b, Mcclellan

sion given 10 them, or win circum-
stances prevent? 1t would be- rather
humorous IL two Americans were

the United States remains outside the

JUST FOLKS

The house is as il was when she was

AS if tomorrow they would see her

Her room remains the way it used to

Here are the puzzles II she pom

The joyous spirit of the home has

All things grew lovely underneath her

The room was bright because il

From her the tiniest trinket gathered
much,
The cheapest toy became a thing
worth while;
Yet here are her possessions as they
were.
No longer joys TO set the eyes aglow:
Today, as we. they seem to mourn for
her,
And share the sadness that is ours to
know.
Half sobbing now, we put her games
away
Because, dumb things, they cannot

Why never more shall Marjorie come

And we have faith in God at our

Low ESTATE OF HIGH DEGREES.

ItN Esi&IE tf hit ii UbGhhEN-
Time was when an honorary degree
meant that the recipient had honored
himself and his nation in some extraor-
binary manner. But that time seems
TO be past. Observers of our social
structure report these phenomena as
existing today: scores OF fresh water
colleges are giving degrees by the
dozen TO Republican politicians whose
only claim to fame is that they swung
enough votes into line in order to
achieve officiaidom for themselves. In
return. those politicians are making
commencement addresses, extolling the
virtues of the Republican party. and
holding up TO scorn all the works Of
Woodrow Wilson and his party. So
far as observed, not a Democratic
politician of note has been awarded
an honorary degree this year by any
a commencement address.

a very bad light. Not that any Demo
