FIvE-DAY WEEK GAINS

The movement for the fve-day
week in summer is arousing increas-
ing interest among the workers, and
the trade unions are devoting more
and more attention to the subpect.
Garment workers and painters and
other building trade workers have
gained the five-day week in several
cities and the organized upholsterers
have set the shorter week as their
goal.
Significant testimony as to the
value of the five-day week has been
received as the result of survey by
the New York World, which reports
that the movement is gaining. Lat
est to come to the support of the
five-day week is Reginald Pelham
Bolton, president of the Electric
Meter Corporation, who declares that
employees in his company have done
more work in the short week than
when they worked five and half
days.

dance on his toes and yearn to be
big executive.


The whole business has been cap
italized now. Corporations make
money out of the urge which has been
planted in young men to be big ex-
ecutives. It's go so it's almost as
bad as the fever every boy has to be
president.
We are handed picture of stern
faced youngster grabbing the world
by the tail, giving it down-hill swing
ond counting up the net total at the
end of the year. Meanwhile lesser
men, who haven't the stuff Of big ex-
ecutives in 'em scamper to carry out
orders.
Always everyone is urged to be like
that stern-faced young man.
The advertising writer's have caught
the idea and they use it to sell
clothes, collors, neckties, shoes and
hats. Every young man is urged to
make himself look like the rising
young man who is cut out to be a big
executive.
What a gosh-awful lot of hokum
young America has to wade through!
Of course, there must be big exec
utives and there must be men who can
do many things well. Every line Of
humon endeavor develops men who
have the knack of excelling-the abil-
ity to excel.
But why not urge men to do things
well for the sake of doing what they
like to do, for the sake of doing
things well-and not for the sake of
becoming little lords and dukes in a
new royalty and nobility? Why not
get new and decent motive into this
business of success? Why base it
all OH money and power and on appe-
tite for luxury and possessions
The average impression of the ris-
ing young man of the magazine fic-
ton and the advertisements is that
of a SNUG, narrow, egotistical, holier-
than-thou young shoddy aristocrat
whose classic jaw it would be rich
and rare pleasure to crack with a
brick!
Give us measure of success that
is made of decency, that calls for
achievement and not for feudal power
and pomp. Give us kind Of ambi-
ton that also knows comradship and
o certain proud humility and under
standing. 1t is right and good to want
to excel-to want to win. But it is
not so good to want to win so you
can put your foot on somebody else's
neck!

Wonder if it would do any good to
suggest that the street car company
dump that string of old abandoned
cars it has down at the old power
house at Symmes Corner into a few
holes in the street in front of the
city hall? Of course there wuoldn't
be enough to go around, but with the
addition of a hunderd or so wagon
loads of gravel it would help some so
that the motorist might ride over
the stretch of Monument avenue, from
High to Market streets, without taking
the chance of being thrown from his
machine.

party to such undemocratic, uh-Amer-
lean procedure in the future.
The creature who hides behind the
mask of anonymity possesses the soul
of coward, the spirit and impulse of
the assassin. The gossip, the SANDER
monger, the sanctified spy who oper-
ate to the confusion and injury of
their fellows universally are con-
demned in the public consciousness.
They give their victim no chance.
They leave them helpless. They cast
blots on clean regulations and seek
to make the law the instrument that
will insure the qualification of their
malice or revenge.
The good citizen is not ashamed to
stand forth as an accuser wherever he
believes his personal or the public
good demands that such accusation be
made. All honor to Judge Bell for
his wise, humane and rational atti-
tude in a matter that has become a
public scandal and an indefensible
