One Present That Lasts Fore
BY ARTHUR BRISBANE
And There Is No Other Not Even Imperhable Gold


Christmas is coming, what should
you give?
First of all. SOMETHING USE
LESS, or at least something that
represents pure luxury, to prove that
it is really Christmas present.
Don't be like the old farmer, Homer
Davenport's neighbor, who, with his
four sons, got up a little Christmas
fund of $1.75. and bought mother a
new axe to chop firewood.
After you have given your more or
less USELESS present. think of some
thing that will LAST FOREVER,
grow MORE valuable every year,
while other presents grow less
valuable.
There is a present that will enable
the one who receives it to buy presents
for himself, through all the years will,
the income from the original present.
Give a well chosen piece Of real
estate.
Real estate is part Of the EARTH.
It remains as long as the earth lasts
and the records stand.
The hard diamond, the ornament Of
solid gold, may last through gener-
ations, or thief may carry them away,
fire may destroy them tomorrow.
The thief cannot carry away cor
ner lot, or the building on it, and a
good insurance policy defies FIRE.
Some day, you may say, even this
earth will pass, and the finest corner
lot will be worth nothing. Yes, but
that will be millions of years hence.
and it need not worry you.
While YOU live, and your great,
great, great, grandchildren live, good
piece of land will be permanent pos
session, always there, always increas-
ing in value.
Greater POPULATION means
greater land values. Ask the earnest
single-taxer about that. HE KNOWS.
If you buy in the city, increasing
crowds that throng the streets In
crease your lands value.
If you buy in the suburbs, or farther
out, every invention, every improve
ment that facilitates traffic adds to the
value of your land.
And WHEREVER YOU BUY,
EVERY BABY BORN means that
your land is worth more.
Buying land changed the Astor fam
lily, the Goelets and others of New
York from people of modest means to

A SCATHING ATTACHMENT

WASHINGTON, D. Frank R.
Kent is the political advisor md
editor of the Baltimore "Sun." While
his name may not be familiar to the
people in the middle and far West
ern part Of our country, in Washing
ton Mr.. Kent is known as the chief
advisor and counselor of the Demo-
cratic national party. For that rea-
SON what he says can fairly be re-
garded as an expert opinion. Re-
Gently Mr.. Kent has been disturbed
over the activities Of certain Demo-
cratic optimists, who at the Jeffer-
son dinner and other festal days OF
the Democratic party proclaimed
their confidence that the Democrats
were coming back. Here is what
Kent in the New York Nation says
in comment on this vision:
mo one capable of clear political
Judgment now believes that the
Dem- cratic party can be vitalized
sufficiently to put up a formidable
fight in the next presidential cam
paign unless a political miracle &C.
ours. 1t follows up its dreadful drub-
bling Of Is months ago by the most
utterly inane, inert exhibition in the
present session of congress given by
a minority party in the memory Of
anyone now living. It has made in
house and senate a remarkable rec
ord Of lost opportunities, unique anC
almost incredible.
"Its leadership is a press-gallery
joke. From start to finish through
the whole session it has ~singularly
failed not only in achievement of
any sort but actually in any effort
For complete inertia it has, as they
say in the South, simply taken the
rag right off the bush. The abjec.
story Of Democratic surrender o.
sell-out, as it is sometimes called
on the taxation bill has been told to-
often to repeat, but it has been typ
ical Of their whole perfOrmance-ol

everything else. They have ever

Bridge parties, welfare teas, voting classes,
world problems are all well enough" she con-
tinues, latter the main problem has been COM
pletely solved, but until mothers are willing to
give them up and stay with, play with, read with,
study and live with their children all the time
not just when they have nothing else to do-and
to know where their children are and what they
are doing the whole "a hours, they will be rudeIy
awakened just as these parents have been. They
should not be shocked, or try to shift the respon-
sibility that rests squarely upon their should
ers."
Such straight from the shoulder talk hits
us all right where we live-and hurts, doesn't it?
But we know it's true. And we know, too, that
if more of us had the backbone to put it into
practice, such things as scandals in high schools
would be mighty rare.
Excuses are useless; arguments are futile tenn
porizings are signs of weakness. The blame for
IS per cent of child delinquency places itself where
it belOngs-right on the shoulders of parents.
Isn't it about time we looked this responsibility
s~quareIy in the face, acknowledged it, and started
DOING something?
