A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
By & w STRAITS

President American Society for Thrift
1t is an encouraging sign of the
times that people more and more are
learning that true thrift means to
make progress-that to be thrifty one
must do a great deal more than Just
save money.
When the work of spreading the
teachings of thrift was first taken up
by the American Society for Thrift
years ago, the idea quite generally
encountered was that thrift meant
simply to put money in a savings
bank, and that after a man had be-
gun to do that, he need think no more
about matters of personal economies
But other and better lessons have
been learned through the years, and
today we find people eager to learn
not only how to save money but what
to do with it after they have saved it
and how to improve their condition
in life generally.
From the great Ruskin has come
the lesson that Economy no more
means saving money than it means
spending money; it means administra-
ton of a house; its stewardship;
spending or saving, whether money or
time, or anything else, to the best
possible advantage"
1t is deplorable that false and
harmful conceptions of thrift ever
were given encouragement by those
who meant we'll but who were una
ware of the i'll effects of such teach
ings. Happily, however, the public
viewpoint is changing
The question of correct spending
as well as correct saving is one of
far-reaching' Importance to the bus
mess world because, while the elimi-
nation of waste and extravaganza are
always desirable, the general cutting
down of legitimate expenditures to
the point where the general business
of the country would be adversely
affected would most assuredly be a
false example of thrift.
Ruskin's analysis correctly places
as much Importance on correct spend
ing as on correct saving. Success
and progress are never the results
of penurious practices. Those who
are truly thrifty keep business on the
go because they spend wisely as we'll
as save carefully. The money which
comes into their hands does not lie
dormant; neither does it go for pur-
poses that are not useful.
Through the careful habits of thou
sands of thrifty people money is kept
flowing through channels that mean
national progress and development.

then Senator Shipstead should be in
vited back into the folds of the Re-
publican party.
The article ends with the following:
IF Mr.. Shipstead is going back to
the senate anyway it would be better
to have him there with Endorsement
of Minnesota Republicans than with
out. But the conviction of those Re
publicans throughout the state to
whom the Governor should listen is
that he should heed the duty and op-
portunity now presented to him. 1t
is the only way in which he can save
himself from the eventual charge of
political timidity and maintain his
leadership as the head of the Repub-
lican party in Minnesota"

WHAT TO Do!

Jens K Grondahl, editor of the Red
Wing Republican, is urging Governor
Christensen to run for the office of
United States Senator in 1928 and
came out with long editorial on
that subject in Mondays edition of
his daily, boosting the stock of the
Governor. Mr.. Christianson is serv-
ing his second term as governor and
Editor Grondahl seems to figure that
he is now at the height of his popu-
larity, that a third term as governor
would not add to it but might detract
from his popularity as that is an ar
ticle so fleeting.
One place in the editorial Mr.. Gron-
dahl writes as follows:
"Mr. Christensen is as popular in
the state as man can be. Hence,
it is logic that he cannot be more
popular! To refrain from running
for the senatorship would be an ack-
nowledgment by himself and his
friends and by the Republican party
as a whole that Senator Shipstead
has so much greater popularity that
he could even overcome the prestige
which the Republican party would
add to Governor Christianson's candi-
dacy. We are not ready to make any
such admission"
Editor Grondahl is a strong party
man and should the Governor not
heed his advice as well as the advice
of others along the same line, but
follow the advice of still others
which also might be his own best
judgment-and not make the race for
United States Senator before 1880
when the Schall term expires-it
would seem that the above statement
of Mr.. GrondahPs would make things
look a little flat.
The Red Wing scribe also thinks
that eff Governor Christianson should
make the mistake of not availing
himself of the present opportunity for
himself and the Republican party"

way if the Herald has good substi-

would be well to learn of it.

Now comes the announcement that
j. Adam Bede will be a candidate for
Congress in the Duluth district next
year on a wet platform. He is en-
dorsed by the Association Against the
Prohibition Amendment. Mr. Bede,
who at one time represented the old
Eighth district in Congress, and was
then known as the humorist of Con-
gress, is likely as full of the "old
Nick" as ever and says that he will
go into the battle win or lose.
