COUPONS FOR ALL

The first national bank" is emp
ty. No longer does the American
family hide its capital in old socks.
Long ago it discovered that rag
pickers pay good money for old
socks and that savings can be put
to work augmenting themselves.
The stocking heel banks of half a
century ago were replaced with saw
ings banks, building and loan asso-
Citations, and sound investments.
Bank deposits increase each year,
indicating that the American people
have become inherently thrifty
Moreover, the American family has
become an important investor.
Today the average American, in
addition to his savings account and
building and loan stock, possesses a
few Shares of stock in representative
corporations, or a municipal or cor
porate bond. The American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company has
been built into a gigantic business
institution mainly from capital that
had it's source in the small savings
of average families.
Though it seems but yesterday
that the masses became a factor in
domestic banking and investment
circles, they have already graduated
into the foreign investment field.
American investments in foreign
corporate securities at the end of
1927 reached a grand total of SILL
65O,OOO,OOO These securities are
distributed widely among all classes
from wage earners to international
bankers.
More than eleven billion dollars
in American capital, working for
foreign business, under foreign man
agement, testif1es strikingly to the
important role the United States
plays in world business, as well as
to the thriftiness of the typical
American citizen.

THE INTELLIGENT VOTERS

1t is quite customary for political
orators to throw out remarks COM
plimenting the intelligence of their
audiences. All which makes the
audiences feel very good, and in a
favorable state of mind toward the
ideas of the speakers.
The American people are intelli-
gent, the most so of all peoples OF
the world. Yet the number who are
really intelligent on politics is prob
ably not as large as it used to be.
People have not of late been con-
centrating their minds on political
questions, though during the pres
ent campaign there is a temporary
revival of interest in these sub
jects.
People who are very intelligent on
questions of a business or personal
nature, often know very little on
politics, and give little thought or
attention to these subjects. They
vote the way their grandfathers did,
and when new situations arise, they
vote the way trusted friends advise
them to.
These audiences that are cOmpli-
mented on being intelligent, should
not take such fiattery too seriously.
They might we'll ask themselves if
their intelligence goes so far as to
include politics, and if they can
make an intelligent choice when
they have to decide how to vote.
1t is perfectly easy for anyone
to become an intelligent voter. The
frequent radio talks to be given
during this campaign will be heard
by more people than ever before,
and they will gain in political in
telligence. The newspapers are
constantly giving the people the
fundamentals of political intelli-
gence. If they want to vote in a
way to protect their own home and
community interest, they should
strive to be as intelligent on politics
as they are about automobiles or
buying goods or running business or
watching sports.

THE SPIRIT OF AMERICA

The best way to get a cross sec
ton picture of the United States, is
to read the editorial comment in
the country daily and weekly news
papers in the various sections.
The country editor is the most in
dependent writer and thinker in the
publishing business. No one die
tates his policies and his articles
are not written up" or down" to
meet the desires, opinions or pro-
grams of stockholders or owners to
whom he is held accountable.
A recent scanning of the country
press shows an astonishing volume
of opinion in favor of downright first
principle American policies. The
New Britain, Connecticut, Record
says: GIN the United States of Am
erica men and women are given the
opportunity of living in their own
homes and paying for them over a
term of years while they are enjoy
ing all the benefits of home life
with their growing families. Con-
trasted with this, it is pointed out
by the ambassador from France to
the United States that in his coun-
try and most of the rest of the
world, it is only after life of de-
privation and almost penury that a
wage Garner can hope to own roof
over his own head"
Senator Thomas of Oklahoma, in
a recent interview after returning
from a trip to Russia, while point
ing out that government seems to
be orderly and industries operating,
showed that all property and bust
ness is owned by the government;
the people rent their homes and
their farms from the government;
standard of living of peasants is low
and it is estimated that five-sixths
of the population earn bare neces-
stiles of life by tilling the soil.
These Independent thinking edi-
tors who have no one to account to |
but their local readers, seem not to
have been bitten by the bug of ex-
perimentation and "isms" which
would turn our government inside
out with theories or practices
which have nothing greater to rec
ommend them than the desire of
some minority group to try out hob
bies on the people, at public ex-
pense. The country press of this
nation is the first line of defense
which holds Our Country safe from
the inroads of experimentors who
would undermine our constitutional
government if given the opportunity.

NATIONAL NEWS OF INTEREST
TO EVERYBODY WHO READS
Written for this Paper by
FRANK P. LITSCHERIT

For several years after the war,
and especially when the discussion
of the war debts was acute, Uncle
Sam was hailed far and wide as the
modern Shylock of the world. 1t
was stated that we had actually pro-
fitted from the war, that we ought to
cancel the European debts because
of this, and so point the way to "ev-
erlasting peace" Fortunately the
people of the United States and
their government failed to fall for
this sort of propaganda, even tho
some of it was manufactured by in
| ternationalists in the United States.
They could not see just how we had
prOfited by the war when we were
saddled with staggering debt, had
undergone period of deflation
which ruined thousands of our cities,
and had at the same time received
no territory or cash indemnity from
the defeated Central Powers. So
the drive finally fell of it's own
weight and the debt cancellation
propaganda has subsidized for a mo-
ment at least.
But now we can get ready for an
other seige. The pacifsts are going
to be after us tooth and nail during
the coming session of Congress.
They are going to demand that we
fail and refuse to build enough
cruisers to keep up the 5-5-3 ratio
in which we have already fallen be-
hind, and if we do not agree to any
old disarmament program which the
nations of Europe present, even if
it is against our vital interests, they
are going to characterize Uncle Sam |
as the imperialist of the world, the |
nation which is keeping the spirit of
war alive.
This sort of propaganda, if the |
American people keep their good
judgment, as they doubtless will, is
bound to fail just as the wave of
propaganda for differentiation :
failed. Fortunately President Cool
idge and the national administration
are alive to the situation and have
not permitted themselves to fall into
the trap which was recently prepar-
ed for them by the European diplo-
mats, trap which would have made
us a second rate naval power.
The answer to the Shylock charge
was and still is that Uncle Sam, not
only demanded no territory and no
money for himself, but has since the ]
war closed through the generosity
If his people actually expended in t
Europe upward of a billion dollars I
n war relief. Nearly every country t
n Europe has felt the beneficent eff {
ects of this relief, the former enemy
nations as well as the former allies.
This is not the way Shylock acts. l
70 pound of flesh was demanded in t
payment for this Outpouring of our S
means to help the crippled nations +

NOTHING NEW

Today Shakespeare could not say
with equal truth as of his own day
that "To gid refined gold, to paint
the lily, to throw a perfume on the
violet, is wasteful and ridiculous
excess" Gold has to be tinted red
or white or even green now to
please the modern seeker for nov
city, while as for lilies, they simply
have to be painted all the colors of
the rainbow if they are to get by.
Fifty clerks sell three million dol
lars worth of beauty accessories
over the counter in one department
store in New York city in a year.
The customers are fiappers, faded
dowagers and mice young men," in
that order. 1t comes high, this beau
ty stuff, but they must have it.
One can understand the f1apper
and her efforts at decorative art on
her own lips, cheeks and eyebrows.
and it always has been the mistaken
prerogative of dowagers to evade the
hue of advancing years if so dis
posed. But the mice young men,"
what is red-blooded masculinity of
the old school to think of them?
1t cannot be. There must be some
mistake. 1t is hard for the most
liberal reactionary to conceive of
any man, young or old, who would
indulge in scented cold cream, soft
face powder and lipsticks. And yet
it must be conceded that before
masculinity found powder, perfume
and dainty laces unbecoming it went
in for them on a scale that would
make the mice young men" seem
like rough pioneers in comparison.
These flaming youths with artificial
flame painted on their faces have
originated or discovered nothing,

Women Workers Back Hoover
For a Full Weeks Wages
Women's Trade Union Leader Declares He Alone

Throug hout the Nation.
By Alice FoG Pitts

Whether not the average American wage-earner
take home full weeks pay envelope every Saturday
night in the next four depends the election of
Herbert Hoover according to Mrs. Raymond Robins who
will spend several weeks at Republican National Head
quarters directing campaign activities among industrial

of Europe. And foreign relief is
still going into Europe from Amer
lea whenever and wherever it is
needed.
But how much credit have we as a
nation received from official Europe
for this generosity? Not a penny's
worth. 1t may be and must be that
some of the people who were helped
are grateful, but there have been no
official expressions of the fact. All
we have received in payment has
been few waves of propaganda in
which Uncle Sam has been charac-
terized as the official Shylock of the
world
Now the answer to this charge of
imperialism is that the United States
has always forwarded every legiti-
mate enterprise which has stood for
world peace. Seven years ago when
the disarmament conference met in
Washington the United States had
the lead on the world in heavy war
craft. In a few years we could have
dominated the seas and the COM
MERGE of the world. But we volun-
tarily gave up this lead in the inter-
est of world peace and disarma-
ment
What was the result? The leading
naval powers Immediately began
building lighter cruisers until they
had secured a decided lead over us
in this respect. Then when a sec
ond conference was called they at
tempted to frame the agreement so
that we would continue to remain
in the lurch. All the credit we get
for Voluntarily relinquishing the ma
val supremacy of the world is the
charge that Uncle Sam is now the
worlds chief imperialist because he
will not agree to accept a secondary
place in world naval affairs. The
criticism does not all come from
Europe, however. Much of it is
by our own internation-
alists who seem to desire nothing so
much as to make the United States
a sort of back wing to the official |
European house of trouble.

THE WOMAN VOTE


Eighteen million women are eli
gible to vote next November, and the
way they vote will have a great deal
to do with settling the election. AS
a large part of these women have
never yet voted, here is an electoral
strength that constitutes tempting
prize for the candidates and COM
mit.aos to work for. Any candidate
or organization that can interest a
lot of them who previously have
been Indifferent, has a new power at
the polls.
These women will be talked at
over the radio, lectured through the
newspapers, appealed to through
their clubs. Women politicians will
be more active than ever before.
These women folks who say they
are not interested and do not care
for politics, will have plenty of op-
portunity to become so. Their
friends will look at them with dis
approval, if they do not take hold
and do what is felt to be their duty.
One would think it would involve
less effort for them to get out and
vote, than to argue about the rea-
sons why they are justified in stay
ing away.
Having been given the suffrage, it
seems fairly up to them to make use
of it. 1t seems an inadequate eX-
cuse to say they know nothing
about politics. If they declined to
train their children, because they
did not understand the art of
bringing up youth, the community
would not think favorably of them.
They are asked to take up this new
obligation and consider it equally
binding.
They should realize that their
home interests are much affected by
elections. Wrong choices would
mean hard times, less money COM
ing in, high prices, low wages, and |
the possibility of war that would
take away their loved ones. The
vote of an intelligent woman, cast |
after reflection on political issues,
is the stitch in time that saves far
more than nine in Delaware.
