Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1928-03-16

The assertion that the American people are no
longer a home-loving class is discounted by recent sur
veys Of the National Cleanup and Paint-Up Campaign
Bureau, which has organized the national home beauti-
ficatiou campaigns. Records Of the organization indi-
cate that expenditures by the American people for
home Identification have doubled in the past five years.
and officers Of the organization assert that this is due
70 the educational campaigns waged in behalf Of bet
ter homes.
The American people not only take pride in their
homes, but they desire them to be convenient and san
itary as we'll as beautiful. Home building is showing a
steady increase, and the home standards Of the present
generation are far better than those Of any previous
generation. The fact that people have more leisure;
that they spend more time outdoors enjoying the pleas
ures Of motoring or similar recreations, should not be
taken as indicative that home ties are being locsened
or that the average American does not have the regard
that they spend more time outdoors enjoying the pleas
for his home that his forebears had.
The nationwide cleanup and paint-up campaign
has met a response which is is itself indicative Of the
average Americans appreciation Of a model home.
Millions Of homes throughout the length and breadth
Of the country are receiving the ministrations Of paint
es and decorators, whose services are in greater de-
mand than ever before. The growing public desire for
cleanliness and orderliness, and for frequent changes Of
color. has been reflected in the national response 70
these campaigns.
Regardless Of whether the campaign be inaugurated
20 secure better sanitary conditions, increased beauty
In the home and the community, or is merely the out
growth Of civic pride, the cumulative result is bound
to be more cheerful living conditions in the home. The
theory Of the campaign is that Of the late Theodore
Roosevelt. who once said: "This country will not be a
good place for any Of US to live in unless we make II
a good place for all Of us to live in"
For the purpose Of making homes more home-like;
to inculcate in the hearts Of American people a still
greater regard and reverence of the home, the National
Clan-Up and Paint-Up Campaign Bureau has carried
its propaganda into every community, town and city in
the United States, and its services in this respect have
been invaluable. During the fifteen years Of its ex-
istence it has become a recognized national Institution,
and the civic movements inaugurated and fostered has
directly affected millions OF Americans.
The American people have been taught to regard
beauty ard sanitary conditions as essential in The
home. They have been taught that every home must
be homelike; that it must conform to the new stan
dards, and that ~unsightly structures, ill-kept and un-
sanitary premises. such rs were common in small cities
and towns q generation ago. are not in keeping with the
modern scheme Of living and will not be tolerated.

THE MEANING OF UNIVERSAL DRAFT"

@AA@~A N%@ @~@AN@
II il reported that Representative Royal c. John
son will. at an early date, make a speech in the house
demanding that the committee on military affairs be
discharged from further consideration of the bill pro-
viding for q universal draft, Of wealth as well as Of
men, in time Of war. The measure leads the legisla-
tive program Of the American Legion. 1t has been in
trOduced in both house and senate. Il has back Of it
50 widespread a popular demand that it was generally
anticipated that its passage, or 1t least its discussion,
would be one OF the early features Of this congressional
session. But In each chamber 1t has been consigned TO
an unfriendly committee and allowed to rest in d dusty
unhOnored and unsung.
Laws do not enact themselves. Particularly is this
true Of measures which affect the pockets Of the cap
italistic classes. This bill, though in intent and effect
a measure for the encouragement Of war, has been
construed by many as an assault on wealth. 1t is en-
phatscally nothing of the kind. BY its provisions the
burdens Of war would be so nearly ~equitably appor-
toned upon all classes that no class would view q con-
flict except with repugnance and dread. The existing
system, which enables ~profiteers to enrich themselves
out Of a war in which the youth Of the nation is sacri-
feed in the s~hambles, has persisted long enough. r.
the widows son, the brides young husband, the youth
on the verge Of q happy and useful career can be
~snatched from his home and sent off to brave the storm
Of lead, the deadly gas, the soaring flames on the bat
tie field, the man too old-or too influential-to be
drafted must give Of his labor and his wealth-and give
until il hurts.
This does not mean merely investing in war bonds
as a magnificent gesture Of patriotism and getting a
premium on them when peace returns. It means Civ
ing, not lending; il means working for n pittance as
the soldier fights for a pittance; it means that all.
profits, all wages above a military schedule, all pro-
ceeds Of speculation shall be turned into the nations
treasury to pay for the war as the war progresses. IL
means that coming generations will not be burdened
with the debt for scores OF year. It means that the
folk fortunate enough to stay at home and escape the
horrors Of the battle field and the slow tortures Of the
trenches will have to bear their part in. the general
suffering-even IL all their suffering Is confined &c
their bank accounts.
You don't like the picture? Few do. In fact. no
body should And for that reason nobody, With such
a law in effect, is going to lightly conrive at driving
the nation into war. Il is a measure for the conserva-
tion Of peace, and the timid friends Of capital who are
trying 70 stifie Il ought to be the ones most active in
its support.

HITTING INVENTIONS
WASHINGTON, March 16.-Time
was when scientists came right out
and said things ~flat-footediy.
Today, if a man laid bold claim to

Of getting the ha-ha later.
