If something else comes up
that seems preferable, just
change your mind or be miss
ing where you are expected.
And this careless attitude
becomes a habit.
They go out into business
and the social world with a
warped idea of what it means
to be depended upon.
After a time this disposition
gets known among associates.
Is it any wonder that the
better jobs go to the young
man or the young woman who
is to be depended upon to
carry out orders punctually
and without fail?
Society and club associates
appreciate dependability also.

THE most damning in
l. dictment drawn against
democracy in America by
its enemies is based largely
upon the charge that the
people in the mass so fre-
quently vote unintelligently,
dominated more by unrea-
soning prejudice than by
their own interest. The
Hoover High Command is
counting upon this weakness
this year, as never before.
That is the reason for the
deceptive if not dishonest
bsllyhoo about the returning
of prosperity.
Within twenty-four hours
the friends of democratic in
'St1tut1ons, who still believe
they are workable, have had
two reasons for encourage
ment. The New Jersey Fed
Grafton Of Labor has de-
nounced the policies Of Mr..
Hoover and declared un-
equivocally for Mr.. Roose-
welt; and Mrs. Charles
Sabin, who has fought pro-
hibition consistently and
honestly, has announced that
she will urge the election of
the man who stands four
square on the platform for
which the enemies of pro-
hibition have been con-
tending.
Here we have two illustra-
tions of the intelligent ex-
ercise of the right of cit
izenship.

day the newspapers of the
country carried the story
that a great steel corpora
tion had announced its in.
tention to spend $5,OO0,000
on improvements and repairs,
This was conspicuously dis
played. The purpose was to
deceive the people into be-
lieving that this means a
great improvement on the
year before. More men were
to be put to work on i'm
provements and repairs than
were engaged last year. More
material would be required
and this would mean more
work.
Now where js the crooked
ness in that statement? Just
here: This same great steel
corporation which is going
to spend $5,000,0OO on i'm
provements and repairs this
year spent $31, 100000 on i'm
provements and repairs last
year.
The story as given to the
people conveys the impress
sion that a five million dol
lar expenditure means just
that much added for business
and employment, whereas it
really means that only one
sixth as much is to be spent
as was spent last year. In
stead of being better it is six
times worse.

LISTEN, WORLD!
BY Elsie Robinson

you call names and throw spit
balls just as you did when we
we're kids back in the third
grade.
You don't? Well, maybe YOU
don't. But the average reader
does. For the average reader
has ideas-fixed ideas-and if
what he reads doesn't jibe with
those ideas. he raises Cain.
Wants Confirmation
The average reader doesn't
want INFORMATION, not even
guaranteed, Grade A informa-
ton. What he wants is CON-
FIRMATION of his own pet
notions, and the columnist who
doesn't give it to him is Just
out OF luck. But, of course.
that isn't the way the average
reader puts it to himself.
Here's how he puts it:
What does this guy mean
by writing all this nonsense?
I'm not an old fogey. I'm as
willing to learn new tricks as
anyone. But this stuff is plain
haywire. There's not a word
of sense in it. None of the
nice people 1 know says things
like these. I've been around,
too; but I've never seen such
things as this writer describes.
They've never happened to any
people I know. 1 don't believe
this writer has ever seen them
happen, either. He's just try
ing to show off.
well. I don't think much Of
smarties like that-people who
earn their money by trying
to shock sensible readers.
Writing like that is a mighty
cheap way of earning a living.
It's just a graft; that's what
it is. Papers shouldn't allow
it. It's bad for the country.
It's bad for the little children.
Something oughta be done
about it,"
And so the average reader
grabs the phone and talks it
over with Lou, and then sits
down and writes the editor of
his paper and tells him exactly
what he thinks of that Elsie
Robinson. And all because he
thinks I don't talk sense
meaning, simply, HIS idea of
sense.
In Bygone Days
And it's queer. America
wasn't like that once. Time
was when We ate up new ideas;
chewed them over down at the
corner grocery; "rassled" with
them at the weekly Lyceum De
batting Club. And the more
ornery the ideas were, the
more we liked them. But now
the Great American Public
wants its popular writer's to
say-it-with-kisses. or not at all.
Wonder why? Have we
grown too stupid or too lazy
to think? Are we so stuck-up
we can't bear to see a notion
that challenges our own, or
hear of a situation that puts
lis on the spot? Or are we
just fraid,cats-scared to read
things that might shake us out
of our pipe dreams?

Prejudices
Stimulated

The strategy clearly is to
deceive the people as to con-
ditions, if possible, by dis
seminating false information
disguised as unpolitical
"news, and to mobilize all
possible prejudices and hates
having no remote connection
with intelligent action. The
spokesmen of the Admin
istratlon, all second-raters
thus far, have resorted to
the most reckless misrepre-
sentations; and others, like
Senator Moses, are specialize
ing on arousing prejudices
having no relation to the
issues of the campaign.
Senator Moses is a special
ist in this line-he and Mr..
Lucas. He was part Of the
conspiracy, of which Mr..
Hoover was cognizant in
1928, to arouse religious and
racial prejudices against Al
Smith. His notorious letter
unhappily for him uncovered
him completely in that cam
paign. When this Senator,
with his record, and the part
he played in the most in
famous of all campaigns has
the effrontery to appear in
Massachusetts in the role Of
a friend of AL Smith, the
wonder is that he is not
Kissed from the platform.

Intelligence
in Politics

Mrs. Sabin is an intelligent
foe of prohibition.
Having taken a position on
it, along with all other pro-
fessed enemies Of the "noble
experiment" she follows her
intelligence into politics and
government. And having de-
cIared for the program, along
with all other foes of pro-
hibition, which the Repub-
lican convention refused to
adopt at the behest of Mr..
Hoover, and which the Demo
cratic convention adopted
overwhelmingly, her intelli-
gence makes her course clear.
Intelligence makes clear
the duty of every other foe
of the Eighteenth Amend
ment and the Volstead act.
The issue has been made so
distinct and unacceptable that
no foe of prohibition, follow
ing his or her intelligence,
can follow any other course
than that of Mrs. Sabin, who
declares for Roosevelt on the
prohibition issue.
However, it is not quite
fair to charge unintelligent
voting against the people.
They can vote intelligently
only when they are in posses
sion of the facts. The policy
of the Hoover High Com
mand is to confuse and de-
ceive them on the facts. Thus

the upward trend of business
and the early turning of the

1t might have gone much
further and been consistent
with the contentious of or

nounced, from time to time,
Mr.. Hoover's hostility to
public building programs to

 The past winter was the tough est experienced for years and the latest the snow has stayed since 1919. There were 12 feet of snow on the level in March and there still is plenty of snow from the 1900 foot elevation up. Trappers this year had to snowshoe out of camp for six and half miles on May 30 when as a rule they usually were able to go out by June without snoWshoes and only a small drift in places.
 * *
 Trappers made practically noth- ing on furs the past season, either, the returns being from two to three and a half for mink; ermine 25 cents to 50 cents, beaver $6 to SIP. Such prices do not pay, and it it's quite likely there will be no trapping next winter, for it is bet ter to cabin up and let the fur ani- malS increase again until fur prices come up.
