LESLIE M. SHAW ON THRIFT.

Some ouspoken observations On the youth of today were
made by Leslie M Shaw secretary of the treasury under Presi

recent talk before the Marquette Club in New York
This seems to be generation of "getmores'" said Mr..
Shaw THE question that uppemost young peoples
minds nowadays E how get home wealth? If than
the legitimate fee for service profit from undertaking

younger generation how to put into life how get
out of it.
yet the idea of thrift furtes from their minds The
whole sentiment among young people to accumulate saw
ine and thrift is considered sgness There only one na
lble rule Tor success and that can live within his in
come? who spends all income for living expenses is
never going succeed"
Growing boys not being taught the meaning Of days
work and the value of dollar they in old days. Mr.
Shaw thought 1t was not the couny lterates who were
sleeping in the parks with newspapers for mattress those
whose parents kept them from working that they might get an

Improving on Babylon.


Knowing that we are not like

men of this ty-Montgomery, Ala.

After solemn symposium the fol.
lowing resolution has been adopted
We, the young unmarried men of
Montgomery, in an assembled meet
ing do hereby solemnly declare that:
Whereas, there has arisen a mod
ern fad among young women of
wearing their galoshes unbuttoned
and rolling their stockings down
ward to point of impropriety, bob
bing their hair which the beautiful
hand Of nature has given them, and
smoking cigarettes, all of which, in
our opinion, are slovenly and un-
necessary.
Now, therefore, be it resolved:
That we hereby agree not to
escort any young woman to any play
picture show, party, dance or re-
ception who practices these useless
and nonsensical fads.
By way of explanation this state
ment Is issued: The young men of
Montgomery are not prudish or
saints, but they have better no
tion of propriety than did the young
men of Ancient Babylon.
Yours truly,
The Unmarried Mems Club.

WARMING Up HEAT

Several candidates accepted the in
vitation of the Ell Centre chamber of
commerce to attend the weekly dinner
at the Oregon hotel last night to pre-
sent their ideas regarding the office
they seek. After an excellent chicken
dinner, President G. X. Cooper called
the members to ordec and introduced
Cal Mousseau, candidate for county
clerk, as the first speaker.
MIR. Moussenu said elections are
held at stated times, to give the peo-
pie an opportunity to make changes
among office holders, or continue
them in office as they see fit. IN
order TO fill an office to the satisfac
tion of the people, a man must possess
certain qualifications - he said, "abil-
ity, honesty and integrity being the
chief requisites. - Mr.. Mousscau ex-
pressed his pleasure at being in Il good,
clean political fight.

NJ V. Oakley, candidate for asses
sor, said he thought when he accepted
the chambeIfs invitation to speak he
was to be told what candidates should
do or should not-do i'll their campaigns
and having learned by Mr.. Nous
seau s talk that the candidate had en-
tire say in the matter, he was left
high and dry as his secretary had fail
ed to prepare Il speech for him. He
paid nice compliment to his oppo-
nent, Mr.. Weaver, saying he would
consider it an honor to defeat him or
be defeated by him.
Frank Wilkin, candidate for record
er, answered a question relative to the
expense of the recorder S office, say
ing the fees for filing and recording
documents are fixed by law, and it is
impossible to change these fees un-
less the law is changed. The largest
part of the fee is paid to the steno-
graphcr who copies the document He
believed the time is approaching when
all legal instruments will be recorded
by a Photographic process now in use
in several departments of government
and various railroads.
The office of public administrator
should be kept entirely out of politics,

BY HENRY L. FARRELL
United Press Sports Editor

NEW YORK, Aug 10.-Leader comes
from the northwest where they are
born with two big dukes and the in
stinct to use them.
Some interesting drama will be en-
acted next spring mt New Haven and
Gales Ferry when Leader starts apply
ing western rowing methods to the Yale
squad.
Leader is a strict disciplanarian and
the lack of discipline is said to have
sunk Yale rowing to the bottom of
nearly every river they have been on
III two years.
Yale needs a rowing leader and they
seem to have acquired one in name and
in disposition.
Conditions prevail in athletics at
Yale that perhaps do not exist in any
other big university of the United
States. The captain of the various
teams is regarded almost as superior
20 the coach and his Judgment and
opinion outrank the coach with the
committee.
The senior societies at Yale also
throw an intense political factor into
athletics, particularly in crew work
Several good coaches at Yale have
failed because of the influence of senior
societies in getting "blue bloods y IN
to the she'll instead of more capable
members of rival organizations.
Yale S policy has been to place ath-
letic coaching in the hands of Yale
alumni and this is said to have had the
wrong effect Practically all of the
coaches have been former Yale stars
aud most of them members of one of
the senior societies. Their former so
cictv affiliations worked sometimes al
most to the point of determinations.
Rows between the team captains and
the coaches have been frequent, espec-
ially in the rowing and two of the de
posed coaches claimed that they could
have produced great crews if they had
been allowed to have their own way.
Failure at football is said to be the
result of the inability of Tad Jones to
divorce society politics from the grid
iron.
Leader, having no political affiliation
at Yale and being n dominant person
ality might succeed where his predeces-
gors have failed.
Analysists can now get the pencils
busy. figuring what relation exists be
tween carpentering and golfing. Gene

is the son of a carpenter and Johnny
Black, the runner-up is Il carpenter.

Veteran in Office Speaks
Giving a short sketch of the office
of justice of peace since he was first
appointed II years ago, Judge [. May
field, candidate for that office in Ell
Centre, said he believed. he had filled
the office to the satisfaction of the
people and had seen the office grow
until a great deal of the work came
from outside the township of El
Centre.
Joe Seymour, candidate for district
attorney, said he seeks the office as
a man and not on the grounds OF
friendship, or political or fraternal af-
filiations. He declared he would not
engage in private practice of law If
elected to the office of district at
torney, and said this same rule would
also apply to any deputies. He de
nounced the Ku Klux Klan as an or
ganization, stating he has no quarrel
with the individual members, but can
see no reason for the existence of this
organization in this country.
