Dear Miss Elsie:
I guess there never was such
a wicked, ungrateful girl as I.
I have a nice home and every
thing a girl should want and
yet I just can't get along with
my family.
The trouble is, they all clash
with my ideas. There is seldom
a day that I don't quarrel with
my sister and I am openly dis
respectful to my father. I even
quarrel with my mother who
has always been so kind to me.
Quite Upset
I don't know what terrible
thing has come over me. I
just go into regular tantrums
and throw things. When my
sister acts Indifferent to me, I
go to pieces. Then Of course,
I am very sorry. But still I
feel that I am not entirely to
blame.
Why do they not show me
more consideration? Even if
I am only in my teens, 7 think
I deserve consideration. And
why do they always blame
things on me, no matter what
happens? I am always get
ting blamed and naturally it
makes me ugly.
I am getting so discouraged
I am apt to do something des-

ailS me?

What ailS you? Nothing,

that's all. Of course you are
a very young person, and part
of your trouble is due to your
youth. But the unpleasant
truth is that you'll never be
very much different inside.
You'll always want more con-
Sideration than you're getting.
You'll always feel that every.
one is blaming you for every
thing. You'll always have
tantrums and want to throw
things.
Do mean to say that
EVERYONE feels that way?

Mr.. Coolidge's Version
Of the Depression

Meanwhile Mr.. Coolidge,
touted by some as the only
hope for his party, has writ
ten his version Of the depres-
sion, from which it appears
that no one is responsible.
Certainly no element or
group. Assuredly no party.
Of course, a party was re-
sponsible for the counterfeit
prosperity, but it's RESPONSE
bility ceases when depression
comes as a result in large
measure of it's policies.
Forced to admit that
human greed had something
to do with the conditions
now, he points an accusing
finger at the greed Of work.
ing men and farmers. Didn't
the working men demand
high wages when profits
were so enormous in one in
dustry that a million-dollar
bonus could be given a high
salaried official? And then
this choice morsel:
"Were the farmers too
greedy in their efforts to
make more money!"
This is an amazing sugges-
tion for two reasons: One is
that, while President, Mr..
Coolidge found it so easy to
leave the farmers out of con-
sideration, and the other is
that the farmers were hurry
ing toward bankruptcy
throughout the whole of Mr..
Coolidge's regime.
But this sort of thing de-
ceives no one; everyone
knows whose greed brought
the crisis on.

Rather Late in
the Day to Begin

Our sympathy and concern
today may we'll be confined
to the millions who are de-
MED the right to work for
bread; to the millions with
whom mere bread is a prob
lem.
In New York City this
problem is accentuated by
the possibility of a cut, de-
manded by the bankers if at
all, in the $2O,OOO,OOO relief
fund voted by the municipal
government. The individual
contributions raised in New
York by the Presidents COM
mittee are not a drop in the
bucket.
The President is deter
mined that not one penny
shall go from the Federal
Treasury to prevent starva-
ton. He insists that smaller
governmental units shall
make the appropriations;
and if the bankers insist that
they shall not, it is just too
bad for the hungry. Notice
has been served by the well
fare leaders that any cut in
this would be "calamitous
and would result in wide
spread suffering and hun

TT was hardly necessary in
the discussion of the pend
ing proposition to cut the
pay of most Federal officials,
except the President, to in
ject Mr.. Hoover financial
status into the debate. 1t is
not proposed that there shall
be any cut in his salary, al
though other rulers during
these distressing times volun-
tarily have cut theirs. 1t
might be possible to cut the
Presidents travelling allow
ance, since his duty at pres
ent is in Washington. But
there is no serious disposition
to do even that. However,
Mr.. Hoover's fortune was
brought into the debate with
interesting results.
1t is commonly understood
that he is worth in the mil
lions; but an Administration
spokesman announced that
he had made much money
but had "given it away" so
lavishly on charity that he
has less than a million left.
The amount he gave to the
emergency relief certainly
would have made no impress
sion on a fortune of millions,
but he may carefully have
concealed his benefactions.
But even so he still re-
mains the richest President
we have ever had. His entire
life had been devoted to
money making before the
war, and he was deeply in
terested in mines in far
places in the Old World.
Even now, with his fortune
reduced to ''less than a mil
lion," he still remains the
richest of the Presidents.

Jefferson Died
Penniless

Few of our Presidents
have possessed more than a
comfor table competence.
Many Of them were very
poor. Washington was a
rich man for his time; and
Jefferson was rich when he
entered the public service,
but he died penniless be-
cause he had to neglect his
plantation, and idolators
from all quarters Of the
world ate him out of house
and home.
During the days after his
retirement it was common
place for thirty and forty
guests to breakfast, lunch
and dine at Monticello, and
many of these were utter
strangers. That is the rea-
son he was compelled to sell
his library - which became
the nucleus of the Congress
sional Library.
No other President could
be said to be rich. Most
were merely comfortable.
Some were very poor. But
craftsmanship cannot be
measured in terms Of money
possessed. Hamilton left
nothing, and never had
much; and the younger Pitt
died hopelessly in debt and
the nation discharged his
oh1ioationS.

and railroads; but before
the session is over Congress
will have the opportunity to
vote for measures intended
for the relief of hungry men,
women and children. It is
rather late in the day to be-
gin to think about them, and
Congress should have been
called in extra session to
grapple with the problem of
the starvation of the people.
Public works could, and
should have been launched;
and the public works that
Mr.. Hearst, Senator Wagner
and Senator La Toilette
have in mind would add
billions in value to Ameri-
can property. If the danger
of starvation continues and
increases because private
contributions, supplemented
by appropriations from small
governmental units, have
been exhausted Congress will
probably pass a measure for
the relief of the unemploy-
ment. It is not likely that
Mr.. Hoover will veto such a
measure.

"The Regime Of
Andrew Mellon"

1t is not fair to Mr.. Hoover
to hold Mr.. Coolidge's Ad-
ministration up as a rebuke
to him, since the policies of
Mr.. Hoover have been a mere
continuation of those of his
predecessor. In d e e d, Mr..
Hoover was an important
part of the Coolidge Admin
istration.
That peculiar little trans
action in the matter Of the
Peruvian loan came under
Mr.. Coolidge's rule, though
Mr.. Hoover, as a member Of
his Cabinet, was directly in
volved through his depart
ment.
It is unfair to concentrate
the blame for present tragic
conditions on Mr.. Hoover;
they came too soon after he
took office. The stage had
been perfectly set for the
tragedy during Mr.. Cool
idge's time; he merely re-
tired from the stage before
the presentation. Thus was
Mr.. Hoover left to take the
role of the villain in the
piece.
The counts in the indict-
ment of Mr.. Hoover are that
he was an important figure
in the policies of the
Coolidge regime which made
the crash inevitable as the
process of the sun; and that
he has failed utterly in
measuring up to the necessi-
ties since the crash came.
There is not an economist in
the land who does not know
that the collapse that came
in 1929 was made certain by
the conditions that were not
only tolerated but encour-
aged by the Coolidge regime.
