Need For Economic
Education

Never before has there been such
ned for sane, calm thinking as there
/ is now Heretofore, our economic pol
icies have been thought out by a few
leaders, or else have taken care of
themselves. But with the upheaval
in world conditions the general pub
/ lie has been brought in direct contact
with economic problems and is study
ing them now with the greatest pos
sible interest. Unfortunately there
are not enough leaders of thought in
close enough contact with the public
to formulate these theories along the
! lines of sound doctrine, but, as ever,
there are at hand those who seize
upon the opportunity to preach false
doctrines for their own profit. The
demagouge may be a crossroads poll
ticiar, the mayor of a big city, or the
editor of a string of sensational news
papers, but wherever he departs from
basic natural law he is laying up for
himself, for those he represents, and
Tor the nation at large a reserve of
misfortune that will have to be reck-
oned with in due time.
One of the greatest fears econO-
miSts have at present is the growing
tendency to tamper with our none
tary system. The Federal Reserve
has been a target for bitter attacks
on the mistaken theory that is was re-
SponSible for the plight of the far
mers and the general industrial de-
preston. The placing of farmer
on the Federal Reserve Board, while
it Will do no harm, will not accomp-
lish what the farmers have been led
to expect, namely, that they could be
provided with unlimited credit. Their
drastic measures, likely to have a SER
iouS effect upon our whole financial
structure. Congress has failed to
grasp the significance of the relation
ship of our foreign debt to our domes
TIC problems and has passed an un-
workable law under which the Presi-
dent IS to try to reach an agreement
with our debtors.
There is throughout the country a
wave Of loose thinking on important
projects that is finding expression
IN Congress, with no prospect of i'm.
provement in the Congress to be elect
cd this fall. 1t is a tendency rather
away from conservative thought ard
which, if care is not taken, may find
an outlet in a wave of radicalism such
as marked the free silver craze OF
the early nineties. Let those who
hold responsible positions, anywhere
whether as editors, college professors
I preachers, or wherever they may be
placed SO as to influence public
thought, realize the responsibility
which IS theirs, of holding to sound

heaven likened unto certain king
which would take account of his SER
wants.
"a And when he had begun TO
reckon, one was brought unto him.
which owed him ten thousand talents
25 But forasmuch as he had not to
pay, his lord commanded him to be
sold, and his wife, and children, and
all that he mad, and payment to be
made.
'26 The servant therefore fell down,
and worshipped him, saying, Lord
have patience with ne, and ] will pay
thee all.
q Then the lord of that servant
was moved with compassion, and
loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
% But the same servant went out,
and found one of his fell0wseryants,
which owed him an hundred pence
and he laid hands on him, and took
him ny the throat, saying, Pay me
that thou cwest.
20 And his fellowservant fell down
at his feet, and besOught him. say
ing, Have patience with me, and |
will pay thee all.
80 And he would not: but went and
cast him into prison, till he should
pay the debt
81 So when his fcllOwseryants saw
what was done, they were very sorry,
and came and told unto their lord
ali that was done.
y Then his lord, after that he had
called him, said unto him, O thou
wicked servant, forgave thee all
that debt, because thou desiredst me:
SO Shouldest not thou also have had
compassion on thy fellowseryant, even
as | had pity on thee?
81 And his lord was wroth, and de-
livered him to the tormentors, till
he should pay all that was due unto
him.

DAY LIGHT SAVING

The apparent intention OF the
powers that may have jurisdiction,
to adopt the daylight-Saving plan
without setting forward the
clocks, is the quintessencc OF alb
surdity. Ii love some times mods,
President Harding and his adj
visers have fallen off the chair
in this instance. We commend the
Retail Merchants Bureau OF Alex
andria for their action in awaiting
results. The results will be both
speedy and strenuous in our opln-
ion. What are we coming to,
when our federal government die
tateS what we shall drink, what
we shall see in the Movies, and
now at what hour we shall break
fast and dine. 1t was a tradition
once in this country that stump
tuary laws were an encroachment
of tyranny on free people. We
do not object on account OF our
neighbors in the capital; they are
a diSfranchised set OF serfS, any
way. But we do object to this
latest governmental folly because
OF our compulsory relationship to
Washington
We do not believe, however,
that even the inhabitants OF that
city will stand for this latest
iniQt,ity. \ few weeks test will
demonstrate the true meaning OF
the word "normalcy' to the gen
tlemeu who discovered 1t in the
dictionary. In the meantime the
Gazette tenders its services to an
outraged community!

Hints on How to
Make Coffee

How often have we all tasted coffee
which we knew to be good coffee, ex-
pensive coffee, carefully prepared
coffee, and yet it was dreadfully dis
appointing. It had a curious after
taste, perhaps hardly even a taste
but a tang, which quite spoiled the del
icacy Of the flavor. Now comes a
Professor in the Massachusetts In
stitute of Technology who tells US
that the trouble is not with the coffee,
not even with the method of making,
but with the utensils in which it is
made. Nc metal container he declares
is fit for making coffee and he goes on
to say that glass alone is the proper
material for coffee pots. If he were
right, the housewife would indeed be
in trouble; how long would any glass
coffee pot survive the vicissitudes of
kitchen service? Happily, however,
she has way and one which the Pro-
fessor mot being practical cook
overlooked. In enameled ware we have
all the qualities which the Professor

BACK TO THE BIBLE
THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO
ST. MATTHEW
CHAPTER IS.

CHAPTER IS.
AT the same time came the disciples
unto Jesus, saying, Who is the great
est in the kingdom of heaven?
2 And Jesus called a little child
unto him, and set him in the midst OF
them,
And said, Verify l say unto You,
Except we be converted, and become
as little children, We shall not enter
into the kingdom of heaven.
WhOsOever therefore shall humble
himself as this little child, the same
is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5 And whose shall receive one such
little child in my name receiveth me.
But whose shall offend one OF
these little ones which believe in me,
il were better for him that mill
stone were hanged about his neck,
and that he were drowned in the depth
OF the sea.
Z Woe unto the world because of
offences. for it must needs be that Of
fences come; but woe to that man by
whom the offence cOmeth!
S Wherefore if thy hand or thy
foot offend thee, cut them of, and cast
them from thee: it is better for thee
10 enter into life halt or manned,
rather than having two hands or two
feet to be cast into everlasting fire.
9 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck
it out, and cast it from thee: it is
better for thee to enter into life with
one eye, rather than having two eyes
to be cast into he'll fire.
10 Take heed that we despise not
one of these little ones; for | say
unto you, That in heaven their angels
do always behold the face CT my
Father which is in heaven.
IL For the Son of man is come to
save that which was lost.
II How think ye? if man have
an hundred sheep, and one of them
be gone astray, doth he not leave
the ninety and nine, and gOcth into
the mountains, and seeketh that which
is gone astray?
- And if so be that he find il,
verify l say unto you, he rejOiceth
more of that sheep, than of the ninety
and nine which went not astray.
ii Even so it is not the viii of
your Father which is in heaven, that
one of these little ones should perish.
Is Moreover if thy brother shall
trespass against thee. go and tell him
his fault between thee and him alone:
if ne shall hear thee, thou hast gained
thy brother.
Is But if he will not hear thee, then
take with thee one or two more, that
in the mouth of two or three wit
nesses every word may be established.
II And if he shall neglect to hear
them, tell it unto the church: but if
he neglect to hear the church, let
him be unto thee as an heather man
and publican.
Is Verify | say unto you, Whatso-
ever ye shall bind on earth shall be
bound in heaven: and whatsoever We
shall loose on earth shall be loosed
in heaven.
10 Again | say unto you, That if
two of you shall agree on earth as
touching any thing that they shall
ask, it shall be done for them of my
Father which is in heaven.
90 For where two or three are
gathered together in my name, there
am | in the midst of them.
II Then came Peter to him, and
said, Lord, how oft shall! ms brother
sin against me, and l forgive him?
till seven times?
- Jesus saith unto him, say not
unto thee, Until seven times: but I'm
til seventy times seven.
