PUT AN END TO THE DRIVES.

While all this talk of readjustment
is in the air it might be well for the
ordinary people, those who come in
contact only with the ordinary things
of life from day to day, to readjust
their common sense and put a stop to
the continuous exploitation they suf-
fer from as a result of the money
raising fever. The readjustment of
the drives" certainly is in order.
People are asked to contribute almost
weekly for everything from the So
ciety for the Protection of Spawned
Horses to the Benighted Weeping
Babies of the Choctkongs of Passama-
quaddy. This drain on the average
purse for this sort of silly charity is
tremendous. Sacrifice and helpfulness
are all well enough in their way, but
imposition should be checked. There
are all sorts of stories recording the
number of persons out of work to be
read in the newspapers, but try to
ma anyone VINO wants 10 10 any
work and you have a job on your
hands. Every city tells the same
story-park benches filed with the
idle men and the suburban newspa-
pers filled with advertisements for
men wanted for work in gardens and
about homes, with no men to be
found. The farms are pretty much in
the same condition. True, the city
n%ondescript is not of much value on
a farm, even so, but there are plenty
of good homes awaiting men who are
willing to work and willing to learn.
Woman labor is in the anne condi-
ton. Help-we no longer dare to call
them servant girls-is impossible to
obtain at any price. In the meantime
the drives go on. Many of them are
operated on a fifty-fifty basis, the col
lectors getting as much as the cause
and sometimes more, and the public
is mulcted to the limit of its foolish
ness. Draw down the curtain or the
drives. We've had enough of them.

THE UNBALANCED WOMAN.

If she is unbalanced or unseated or
out of her place, what is the cause?
Who is to blame? Who brought about
this change? There is but one an
swer. Her G~od-decreed protector is
to blame. Man is wholly responsible.
The federal head of the family is
guilty.
Woman's place is home. Her throne
is the domestic circle. She didn't
leave it of her own gclttion. She
didn't sacrifice her place voluntarily.
Man is wholly responsible for the I'M
balanced condition of woman. He is
the federal head of the family. 1t is
his business to provide and protect.
And it is his business to exercise the
righteous discipline necessary to a
perfect home and a good government.
He has utterly failed in these last two
duties. He has failed through indul-
gence, because of a lack of courage,
a sense of responsibility, and a will
ingness to face his plain duty. He
has practiced indulgence until he has
made the woman extremely extrava-
CANT.
The average girl hates work, de-
spises domestic responsibility, and is
criminally c~onspiring to avoid those
high duties.
The man has neglected to build the
home, to make it attractive and mag

WHY NOT REQUIREMENTS
FOR CONGRE S S I

Before a young man is permitted to
begin the study of medicine, the law,
the church, or in fact, most of the
other professions, he must pass an eX-
animation to prove himself possessed
of certain educational requirements
regarded as a necessary basis of his
practice in the event of his entering
actively into the calling of his choice.
This is wise, but il would be wiser
if those who seek to enter the most
important, the most difficult of all pro-
fessions, the profession of govern
ment, had 10 have a basic knowledge
before they were eligible to run for
public office, particularly of a legisla-
tive character. Every man who wants
to run for Congress, for example,
should be compelled to have as a
background either four years of eX-
perience on a farm or a thorough
course in some agricultural college.
The mar from the city without a
knowledge OF farming is unfit to. leg
islate for the American people. The
excuse offered is that he represents
the territory and the people that elect
him, but as a fact, he cannot repre-
SEN any section efficiently unless he
knows the farmer problem. He must
vote on tariff matters, on agricultural
legislation, on measures that have al
most a direct bearing on all classes of
our citizenship, urban, suburban and
rural, and he does so, as matters
stand, with nothing to guide his ac-
ton but a certain amount of horse
sense. Horse sense is well in its way,
but we have had too much of this
horse legislation. A river cannot rise
higher than its source and legislative
enactments never will rise above the
intelligent knowledge that lies behind
their enactment. Let us have some
standard of requirement before a man
is eligible to run for the State Legis-
lature and for Congress.

for about eight years. In the year 1908 he sold this business, and on
November Goth of that year he removed to Pleasantvile. He took up
his residence at the corner of First street and Pleasant avenue, and
has resided at that location ever since. He engaged in the real estate
and insurance business, in which he has been very successful, Being
well Informed on matters pertaining to real estate and values in gen.
eral Mr. Adams is very optimistic over the prospects of the continued
growth of Pleasantvi1e. He says, "The city is surely growing, and l
believe by 1925 it will have considerably over 10000 population. 1t is
certainly a healthy place to live in. The city has made rapid strides
in municipal improvement, and there is no mistake in buying property
here"
Mr.. Adams has been in public life for a number of years. In
1913, while the city was under a borough form of government, he was
elected a member of the Borough Council. He served one year as a
Councilman when the change was made to a city form of government
He was then elected a City Assessor for the First Ward, and has held
that office since that time.
