JlOn.
The little seven year old artist
plays the role of an orphan who is
adopted by the wife of a brutal
plumber. The man not only will not
work but he beats his beautiful wife
and the little waif who has come in
to his home When Jackie sees his
foster mother in tears and realizes
there is no food in the house, he
undertakes, with disastrous results,
to substitute on a plumbing job for
the good-for-nothing husband,
Though he is a miserable failure as
a plumber, the tiny artisan is given
five dollars for trying. And when the
ruffian tries to take it away from the
frail mother Jackie starts a battle
that winds up with the brute going
to Jail for a year.
This particular scene in the picture
is one that will appeal to children
and parents, too; because it is a fine
example of child courage and shows
more forcibly than any other picture
that has been presented here a child's
sense of justice and duty. -Adv.1t.

IGNORANCE ABOUT BONDS

The United States Treasury has a
lot of money that belongs to owners
of Liberty Bonds, and wishes the
owners would ask for it. Interest
coupons amounting to more than
S58,O00,O0O have never been presen-
ted for collection. If those bond
holders were holding mortgages
signed by anybody else than Uncle
Sam, they would collect their interest
as a matter of course. Or if they
had their money in bank they
would expect to draw the interest
regularly.
There are also more than 7,000,-
900 temporary certificates held by
the public, paid for and calling for
government bonds, which have never
been exchanged for the bonds with
coupons, and which therefore are
not bringing any interest to their
owners.
There are SS4,OOO,OOO of Liberty
BONDS Whlch nave matufed, ana are
no longer drawing interest, whose
owners have not presented them to
obtain the cash they represent.
Many Liberty Bond holders, Off
Gals say, are believed to have thrown
away the bonds at maturity, believ-
ing that they have become worthless.
Banks and postOtfices report that
bond holders are still trying to pay
interest to the government on their
bonds, instead of letting the govern
ment pay them interest, thinking
that is the way the game is played.
Obviously a considerable portion of
the American public still has great
deal to learn about investment.

Backward, turn backward, O Time

ORGANIZED MINORITIES MEN
ACE TO GOVERNMENT

The Register has taken rather fire.
quent occasion to refer to the way in
which closely organized minorities by
reason of the pressure they are able
to bring to bear upon members of
Congress, may actually override the
unorganized majority, and substitute
the selfish interest of some small
group for the general welfare. In
his farewell address to the House
of Representatives, Mr.. Frank Mon
dell, for four years past the Republi-
can leader Of the House, discussed
this same proposition at great length,
summing up his conclusions in the
following striking paragraph;
"The greatest menace of the day
is the menace Of organized, militant,
persistany minorities- minorities
which, ASSOCIATED from the particu-
lar object of their legislative pursuit,
may be among the best intentioned
of our citizenship, but under the spell
and spur Of specious pleading and
selfish appeal purpose, suggest, urge
and demand the most dangerous pro-
cedures. l wish it were possible,
with a view of neutralizing the effect
of these minority drives, to organize
all the balance OF the people into the
amalgamated society of the public in
terest, with their only effort and pur-
/ pose that of shielding the representa-
tives Of the people from the drives Of
minorities seeking special favors and
privilege; their accomplishment
would be worthy of the highest
praise.
There is no question that highly
organized and heavily financed lob
bies, often resorting to intimidation
of congressman and specializing in
spreading transformation to the pub
lie, conspire to make national legisla-
ton by responsible majorities more
and more difficult. The pity of it is
that so many well-intentioned men
play directly into the hands of these
selfish interests by aIGing to break
down party organization and thus
make our Congress a congress Of
groups or "blocs" instead of leaving
it to consist of a majority and min
GRITTY party,-a majority party
charged with responsibility and able
to carry out its program, and a min
GRITTY party to criticize and caution.
There is only one remedy, and
that is for the people to send strong
and honest men to the House and
Senate with no other mandate than
to vote as their best judgment die
tates, and to keep them there as
long as they do that These men
may now and then DO things that
even a majority of their constituents
think they ought not to have done.
But in the long run a constituency
will be best served by a representa-
tive who follows his own judgment,
regardless of whether the position he
takes is for the moment popular OF
not, rather than by a man who is all
the time talking about his love for
the "pee-pul" and whose vote is
governed wholly by what he thinks
= will please the most voters.
