PEACE IN INDUSTRY

Americas best way to overcome in
.dustrial autocracy is to harness labor
and capital into an industrial democ-
,racy," according to Thomas E. Mitten,
able utilities director of Philadelphia.
This, he declares, would make ours a
.strike-proof nation in one generation.
As most important step in this
direction Mr.. Mitten points to the
growth of employee ownership of cor
poration securities, which is making
rapid progress in many leading indus
tries. The extension of this partner
ship between capital and labor tends
to humanize the capitalistic system,
and by stimulating greater production
results in benefits, not only to capital
snd labor, but to the consumer as
we'll.
In the same manner the growth of
customer ownership is bringing about
a better feeling between the utilities
and the public, and in many cases we
now may witness a three -cornered
partnership in which capital, employ
ees and customers all hold a share in
ownership.
Forward-looking executives are fos-
tering this partnership idea through
every means at their command, and
the wisdom of it is reflected in the
greater freedom from industrial
strife wherever the plan has been put
into practice to any considerable ex-
tent.

gible for loans up to about s per cent
of their face value, but the handling
of the certificates as collateral is sur
rounded by so much red tape that
many bankers have been reluctant tc
make the loans. Under the law, banks
are. not required to lend money or
these certificates unless they choose to
do So.
Now it is sought to provide govern
ment agencies for making loans to
the ex-service men direct, in order that
they may not be deprived of the loan
values contemplated by the existing
law.
While veterans would be wise to
avoid borrowing the small amounts to
which their certificates at present en-
title them, the government should GER
tainly provide an easy way for them
to secure these loans if they insist up
on having them.

TOWN. GRAVE-DIGGERS.

In nearly every community may be
found quite number of persons who
consider themselves leading citizens
but who in truth are helping to dig
a grave for their town.
They do it through their failure to
support the institutions which make
the town what it is. They do it by
sending away for merchandise which
might be bought with equal advantage
at home. They do it frequently
through thoughtlessness, but oftener
through sheer disregard for the well
eare of the community of which they
are part.
The doctrine of buying at home is
not advanced solely in the interest of
Individual merchants. 1t is advocated
because every citizen Of town is to
a certain extent dependent upon every
other citizen for his own prosperity
Business men are sometimes as great
! ly at fault as anyone else in the mat
ter of out-of-town trading.

AIMEE TO CASH IN.

Mrs. Aimee Semple Mcpherson, the
Los Angeles evangelist whose alleged
kidnapping and subsequent trial on a
conspiracy charge has filled many a
column of front page space since last
May, will now proceed to cash in on
the publicity she has received, the
charge against her having been form
a ly dropped.
While most of her congregation and
other admirers throughout the country
still appear to believe in her kidnap-
ing story, the public generally seem
to be quite skeptical about it. But
whatever the truth may be, there is no
doubt that the magnetic high priest
ess of Angelus Temple will attract
much attention and liberal amount
of cash on her lecture tour, which will
take her to many Of the leading cities
of the country.
Curiosity, if nothing more, will draw
many to hear her speak-and if she

THE KIN THEY LOVE TO TOUCH.

The nations are all brothers. Uncle
Sam. to all intents and purposes, is a
brother. He is, perhaps, not blood
relation to European principalities,
but he is a kin-the kin they love to
touch.
The high Rumanian official who
said that, as result of the Queens
visit, it would be possible for Ruma-
MIA to borrow half billion dollars in
the United States, was undoubtedly
laboring under a violent attack of op-
timism.
American financiers know that Ru-
mania is practically French depend
ency. When France has a cold, Ru-
mania sneezes. In their dealings with
the world they are as .chummy as
pair of suspenders and as close as
twin-sisters.
Having had some experience with
the French method of debt payment,
which is exemplified mainly by absent
treatment, American financiers will be
slow in lending any considerable am
cunt to her little sister.
1t is great to be an Uncle Sam, but
it seems latterly that every time Uncle
Sam helps any neighbor out of hole
he makes another enemy.
The concensus of opinion is that we
now have enough Washing

If the shoe dealer sends away for
his automobile tires, and the auto
mobile man sends away for his furni-
ture, and the furniture man sends
away for his clothing, and so on, how
can they expect to build local prosper
ity?
All the fine talk about civic pride
that we may indulge in will never
make town, SO long as the life blood
of the community-cold cash-is spent
elsewhere.
A man may make boasting speeches
until he is black in the face, but un-
less he spends his money where he
makes it he is hometown grave-dig-
