A Contrast

AT the age OF IL, T. L Mardy Jones worked In q
mine In South Wales. His station was an humble one
But he was an ambitious lad. He yearned to know
things. He wanted to be somebody
He studied hard at odd times. Finally he was adj
itted to Oxford from which he was graduated in due
season.
Twenty years ago he was married So successful
was his domestic life that it brought an award to the
Joneses as the happiest married couple in Essex
Other honors came to him. He was elected TO
the Royal Society Of Economists He became parIia-
mentary agent for the South Wales miners fedora
ton In 1922 he was elected to the house Of COM
mons.
It took long time to do all this climbing
The other day Jones gave his wife non-transfer-
able railroad pass. She used It, That is against the
English law. Jones arrested.
He explained he had wanted an important docu-
ment brought from his home TO London. He did not
want to trust 1t to the mails he asked hts wife to
bring it to him. She did, using the railroad pass But
the law In England is memorable. Jones was fined
$40. With this disgrace hanging over him, he re-
signed his seat in parliament
His salary of $4,000 year in the house of COM

A NEW YEAR

The passing of an old year and the
coming of a new is actually only a
matter of calendars. But it's psyche
logical effect and importance are
great.
A special time in which to cast off
the discouragements of the past and
to look eagerly for new opportunity,
new hope, new activity, is essential
to the human makeup of most of US.
It is a spiritual tonic. Some there
may be to whom every day offers a
fresh start. More, however, need
New Years Day to check up on ac-
complishments of the past months
and plan for those to come.
Whether we welcome the New Year
with noise and mirth or with thought
'ful silence, we experience the benefits
of shaking off mistakes, regrets and
failures and girding our spirits for
a fresh attack upon life. If we are
wise, we do not make many specific
resolutions, but concentrate on the
fresh attitude toward our problems.
So, let it be Happy New Year!
Happy because of hope and opportun-
ity and the renewal of mental and
spiritual energy. T. 81

and had any fighting spirit, newspa-
pers wouldn't be able to do the things
for which they are criticised.
Readers may take their choice or
add any praise or accusation that oc-
cure to them. Apparently newspapers
are pretty much what they are sup
posed to be-the daily news in print,
plus comment, summary, interpreta-
ton. Anyone who thinks nobody
would know anything about crime if
it did not appear in the newspapers
should perform this mental exercise:
Let him immagine himself in COM
munity where there was no newspa-
per. If someone committed crime,
what would happen? 1t would be dis
cussed at the corner grocery, over
back fences, in every home in the
town, and wherever two or more per-
sons met and had moment to chat.
And the rumors of the why's and the
wherefores and methods and motives
of that crime would be wilder than
any that ever got into reputable news
papers. The newspaper is pretty tame
compared to the tongue busily en-
gagged with gossip.

WAR TALK

It, was a welcome and timely word
which came from Pope Plus on Christ
mas Eve. Referring to the many ru-
Irners of impending war in Europe and
elsewhere, His Holiness declared that
they must be exaggerated. For his
part, he could not believe in "the re-
ality of these threats" One reason is
that it would be plainly Suicidal" for
any great nation now to rush into war
on large scale. AS others have said,
that would infallibly let loose a civil
war in which the belligerent Govern
Inent would fall. The Pope did not
speak merely as religious leader,
still less as only sentimentlist. He
is fully aware of the agencies and
agreements which have been estab-
lished and which are still being sought
for the purpose of settling interna-
tional disputes peacefully. What he
condemned was a proud and insen-
safe .tnationalism" which kept coun-
try aloof from such noble efforts to
maintain. peace and goodwill on the
earth. If this saying looks toward
Italy or France, we cannot deny it
also looks toward the United States.
This utterance by the Pontiff was
timely not only because it fell on the
natal day of the Prince of Peace. 1t
comes as sober corrective for pre-
dictions of war which have been grow
ing in volume. Again we have heard
multiplying voices speak of Palestine
as a powder magazine, the Balkans
as about to flame into hostilities, Po-
land, France, Italy and Germany as
ready for another bloody trial of su-
per.strength. Perhaps pacifists them
selves have been tempted, in their zeal
for the League of Nations or the
World Court, to stress too much such
signs of trouble and to magnify in an
alarming way the danger signals. 1t
is a calmer and, we are persuaded, a
better founded view which has now
come from the Holy See. In truth, the
very existence of so much disturbing
war talk is one proof that there will
not be another great war, at least so
long as the last one is still burned
into human memory. 1t is the unex-
pected war which the world in the
past had reason most to dread. An
advertised war is unlikely to come off.

symposium on the influence of news
papers on criminal justice recently
the following interesting notions were
advanced
1. That newspapers "expose corrup-

to the administration of criminal JUS
tice."
2. That newspapers exercise an
"unwholesome and evil influence over
American life and should be regulated
by law. tf,-
8. That newspapers Influence the
commission of crimes and interfere
with the administration of Justice"
A. That there must be something
wrong with readers, or newspapers

An Interesting Fact
THE TOBACCO AGE-MONEY
PAST AND PRESENT

A study of the monetary systems of
nations is indeed interesting. But
such study is not the purpose of this
short article. Money is a term used
to describe the medium of exchange
of standard values of any country.
Gold, silver, nickel, copper are the
coinage of modern nations, but baser
metal coinage and shells, grain, sheep,
wampum, furs, and other commodities
have been the medium of exchange
among primitive people.

HARD TIMES A MYTH?

What's all this talk of "hard times"
| that is on nearly every ones tongue?
Is it myth, a mob delusion, or is it
an actuality? Most of the complain
ing is done by the regular merchants
and stable business men of the COM
munity. Maybe they nave cause for
complaint. Why?
However, on the other hand, we
have not noticed that the theatres in
this territory have closed for lack OF
patronage. Other places of amuse-
ment seem to attract the usual crowd
at the standard price for playing a
game of duck pins, pool and billiards.
Service oil stations have increased
in number, supposedly because people
are buying more gasoline than for
merly. Amusements centers are not
bv any means deserted on Saturday
nights, or would they be on Sunday
nights, either, if the law permitted
them to operate.
In the basis of this observation,
why the holler of money conditions
being "tight?" Let us examine
few factors which seem on the face
of it to be fundamental in contribut-
ing to this so-called economic depres-
sion.
Buying power of the mass has not
decreased noticeably, but it seems that
people spend money differently today
than in yesteryears. More automo-
biles are used, one to every five peo-
pie, statistics say, necessarily a great
er amount of money. is spent for gas
oline, oils, tires, accessories and other
incidentals connected with or as IA
result of being speed-ninded.~ 3f
This is not saying anything for or
against the practices other than to
show that money goes to other chan
nels than formerly, which may have
bearings upon present conditions.
1t seems that people are more pleas
ure bent than formerly, consequent
ly many legitimate articles are done
without in order to "get more out OF
life." There has been tendency to
eat less, to cut down Giving expen-
ses," while spending the sum saved
for the divers forms of entertain.
ment and incidental pleasure excur-
sions.
AS a result the grocer, the baker
and the general merchant has felt his
usual volume of trade reduced to some
extent, which is attributed to "hard
times" In course of this tendency
to avoid unnecessary obligations" to
take advantage of the unnecessary
expenses" we as nation have de-
veloped the characteristic symptoms
of the spendthrift.
Are we becoming a nation Of pleas
ure-bent, work-shirking night-club-
ties?
People talk, and what people talk OF
is infectious. We also like to believe
what is being talked about, be it "hard
times," economic depression or what
not. Sometimes we believe until it
hurts, and then we wish to forget
about it. The reality seems painful,
boring and cruel. How to escape it?
Go to a movie. Forget the 18th
Amendment. Indulge in the frivolity
of night club.I Dance to captivat-
ing music. In this manner we shove
realities aside. Momentarily we have
forgotten about the rent being due,
the demands of the grocer, the doc
tors bill, the merchants reminder,
and we are happy.
Let's quit living a world of make
believe; face facts and struggle with
realities.
