SYMPATHY TOWARD THE PAST

A Tennessee newspaper, interested in the stream
of tourists continually passing through its town,
makes plea to local citizens to tone up the famous
historical shrines and landmarks and make them IN
teresting as we'll as authentic.
Among the things worth preserving and marking
is an old log cabin with loop-hoes through which the
inhabitants used to watch for and shoot at attacking
Indians. There is home of Andrew Jackson which Is
now unmarked and falling into disrepair. There IS the
former home of beloved local poet. And there are
other spots in which community with even a faint
touch of New Englands interest in history would take
pride and which would undoubtedly be of interest to
tourists.
Americans on the whole, believing in the present
and future rather than the past often fail to dstln-
gush between what old and useless and what old
and valuable, dscarding BOTH There isn't much sense
in retaining and caring for old buildings if they are
nuisances if they true progress and health
in some way. On the other hand America has grown
so fast and her customs and modes of living have
changed so fast that people today have little oppor
tuny of picurng for themselves the struggles their
forebears had to go through with in making their con-
tribution to the nations development. And yet this
sympathy toward the past is worth preserving Pride
in local history and its landmarks is fine thing if it
truly teaches and inspires noble effort

THE FIRST INVESTMENT

When young ask: what shall invest in?'
Roger Babson makes this answer:
"Well, the first investment should make is
in two bank accounts, a savings and checking
count. Secondly. every man should buy home in
which to live"
Only after this start has been made should the
man of moderate means other types of invest
ment such as first mortgage bonds of established rail-
ways public utilities and other corporations that
bought by local bankers and proved sound.

CIVILIZED HUNTING

The expense of hunting trip nowadays is almost
invariably than the worth of the game bagged.
The average hunter moreover, is poor shot. He is
poor woodsman in general Often he doesn't even know
how to start fire cook his game when he out
of other food
He has few qualifications of the hunter. Yet he
hunts. He fares forth eagerly, jubantly, just the
same year after year, forgetting how often he has
dragged himself home hungry, disappointed and to-
tally worn out after such spree with nature
The instinct he yields to comes from the time
when had to kill wild things starve. The in
stinct survives, but the knowledge. Skill is ack
ing but is partly made up by double-barreled shot
guns. Often the hunter shoots himself some other
hunter
He is lured into the game too, by the to prove
to himself and others he is not decadent, that he is
able, as his distant ancestors were, to go forth into
the open and wrest living from the wild Instinct
and egotisn-and an undercurrent of doubt that he
wants to dispel.
So he goes out and probably kills few pitiful
creatures that better left alive, and back
with the usual hunters and fishermans luck, only to
start all again the next instead of practic
ing mark in the back yard and buying his meat at
the butcher shop.

CRIME COMMISSION

A national crime commission
has been organized in New York
city to decrease crimes of vio-
lence throughout the country by
means Of education and legisla
ton. The plan was launched in
the offices of Judge Gary, head
of the steel trust.
The first essential, it was stat
ed, is to conduct a survey Of the
situation. A large amount Of
money will have to be raised
through voluntary contribution.
Then a crime statistician and an
adequate staff will be named to
gather accurate statistics from
which to draw comparisons and
suggest remedies.
A chairman was elected. He
has been authorized to name a
finance committee chairman who
will raise the money and APP
point an executive committee
from different states.

Liberty, Not Dollars, Is Union Urge
By JOHN p FREY, Editor Intl. Moders' JournaD

Those who believe that the trade
union movement exists principally for
the purpose of securing higher wages,
shorter hours and improved conditions
of labor, fall far short from under
standing the true purpose Of trade
unionism.
The trade union movement exists
primarily that those who work for
wages may control their lives. If it
did not aim to establish freedom, lib
erty and justice for wage earners, the
trade union movement would be a
purely cOmmercialized movement.
aiming only to secure as many dollars
and cents as possible.
Human liberty-the right of men to
control their own lives-is the inspir-
alton which has created and which
will perpetuate our trade union move

LABOR SHOULD OWN
IT'S JOBS

All over the nation banks and bus
nesses are being started by members
of labor unions, and so Tar the Iall-
ures have been few and far between.
The percentage of failure has been
flattering when compared with tne
percentage of failure among private
enterprises.
The difference between private con,
trolled enterprises and those owned
bv the workers is that the stock OF
the private business is usually IN the
hands of a very few individuals. II
this is not true at the Inception OF
the business, stock market manlpula-
tons are restOrted to and the con
troll Of the company passes from the
many to a few.
Or. the other hand, the union con
troled enterprises, lacking the ele-
ment Of enormous profits for lew
as its reason for eristence, and d."
viding It's profits with its workers
and shareholders, has III each p0-
tential customer for its products. IL
therefore gets from each the best
kind of advertising and is able to
greatly reduce that part Of its over
head expense.
The workers of the city and ma,
ton now have an excellent chance to
invest in an enterprise that should be
able to hit the un-American "Amer-
can Plan" association at the place
where it is the strongest and most
vulnerable-the rubber industry.
The Union Tire and Rubber Com
pany, of Mt. Vernon, Ohio, has in
vaded Akron with a request of sup
port and participation in its affairs,
and has seen fit to limit its sale o.
stock to union members and their
sympathizers.
Its management is under the con-
troll of men who believe in unions and
whose standing in this respect is un-
questioned. They are also well con-
nected with men Of note in the world
of labor unionism. They are entire
ly deserving of your consideration,
and we believe an investment in tins
enterprise will be a most excellent
thing for every man who labors.
The moderate price of $40 per
share, should enable every worker in
the city to participate in a venture
destined to liberate the rubber slaves,

During the past fifteen years 1913
persons met death in auto accidents
in Ohio. There is every indication
chat this year the number will be
greater than any previous year in the
history of the automobile. Carefully
prepared records of fatal auto acci
dents this year show gain over 1924
the number on July 4th alone, being
ten greater than a year ago. Better
enforcement of all traffic laws in the
various municipalities, and on the
highways, together with educational
campaigns, is urged as the only, rem
edy that will prove beneficial in re-
ducing this tremendous toll of human
lives, and Governor Vic Donahey has
fathered a campaign for better law
enforcement, and more strict observ-
ance of all traffic laws.

Kill Fewer Children
Than Ten Years Ago

Columbus, O.-Almost one-fourth
of all deaths from automobile acci-
dents during the past ten years in
Ohio occurred among children under
fourteen years of age according to
data just compiled by the state de-
partment of health. But to prove
that the value of safety work among
school children is proving a most
profitable investment attention is
called to the fact that while 24.4 per
cent of all fatal auto accidents in
1915 were among these younger chill
dren, this percentage was reduced in
1924 to 1876 per cent.
