Today, there are more than a million

at the political clubs, look into the
records and alliances of candidates for
office.
Even this is not enough, unless
there is some organization of nom
political citizens TO work with united
force. Here again the neighborhood
committees which l suggested earlier
would have their uses. Such COM
mittees could compel the respect of the
political leader and hold him to an
accounting. They could hold meetings
and ask candidates to appear before
them, address them, and submit to
questioning. Moreover, they could
and should keep track of the political
and financial administration of local
and national affairs.
1t might be inferred from what l
say here that l think there are no
good men in politics. On the con-
trary, we all know many fine men,
honest men, able men in politics. But
there are not enough of them.
One of our problems is to attract
men of higher caliber into public life.
Certainly the profession of government
is as important as any calling in our
nation. Yet ii is not even taught in
our schools and colleges. We teach
political science. yes. but that is far
cry from practical politics. There is
no alternative for the aspiring politi-
clans but to learn their high art and
profession at the knee of the district
leader or ward captain-too often with
undesirable results
Corporations for the conduct of busi-
ness. education. and charity have null
tiplied in number and importance in
recent years. Service in hundreds of
corporations is affording a new dis
cipline for thousands in managing and
directing people. and this in turn
should be of the highest value toward
supporting progress and durability in
governmental affairs. But business
men too often forget that the govern
ment is the most important corpora
ton of all They passively permit men
to occupy public Offices to whom they
would deny jobs in their own COM
panies. They fail to apply, on cleo
ton day, the elementary rules they
have learned In their business.
No Time for Sinking.
Business men say that politics is
Unpleasant" So is service in the
trenches unpleasant but our citizens
do not shirk it when duty calls
Carelessness, neglect, and ignorance
in the conduct Of the affairs of gov
eminent have exactly the same results

Man Lost rs Pounds

Just to prove to any doubtful man
or woman that Kruschen Salts Is the
SAFE way to reduce-let us take
the letter Of Mr.. F. ]. Fritz of Gin
cinnati, Ohio, recently received.
He writes: "Tve tried extreme
dieting, setting up exercises with
very little results but the results
from Kruschen are almost incredible.

17o pounds and feel stronger than

there is danger in too much fat-try

as they would have in any army facing
the enemy on the field of battle The
obligations of the individual citizen
as part of this government are quite
as binding as those of each soldier
composing an army. Thorough training
and high sense of duty are as i'm
portant in one case as in the other.
The preparation Of an army for serv-
ice with any hope of success demands
something more than writing out the
details of organization and the issu-
ance of orders. 1t requires the train
ing of each individual of the army in
the particular part he is to play al
the front. 1t is the same in the sue
cessful conduct Of the government.
Each citizen must be trained in his
duties and be inspired by high sense
of obligation in carrying them out.
Constitutions and laws do not of
themselves guarantee either the eff
cheney or the permanence of govern
ment In government by the people
the responsibility of the individual
must be conscientiously fulfilled, or
failure will be the result.
Make no mistake about it: Our ma
ton is confronted by a crisis as seri-
Gus as the crisis of the war. We are
at war against depression and crime.
And. just as to that earlier crisis, we
come unprepared- Our unprepared-
ness in the war cost US untold billions
in money and the lives of some of our
finest men. Our unpreparedness for
this battle of peace has also cost us
dear.
But in the war. once we were
aroused, we made effort which aston
ished the world. Just so today the
American citizen. once he is aroused
to the dangers that menace his coun-
try. viii. l devoutly hope and believe,
gloriously redeem his indifference of
the past.

French Penal Code

France does not send all persons
who commit crimes to the French
penal colony on the Isle de Salut, of
the coast of French Guiana. The type
Of prisoners sent is that, generally
speaking. of the undesirable habitual
criminal whom the French government
does not want to return to France.
In sentencing the criminal to the col
onies the type of criminal rather than
the type Of crime committed is
stressed. such as undesirable political
prisoners. as well as vicious habitual
criminals.

"Old Farmers Almanac"

The spirit OF the "Old Farmers
Almanac" brought up to date in the
Commonweal New York; by Rob-
ert p. Tristram Coffin:
Build your house upon a rise.
Make friends with your arms and
thighs.
Dig your spring below a pine,
Plant morning-glory vine.
Have your bedroom face the dawn,
Have windows with no curtains on.
Though fields lie ready cleared a score,
Cut thickets down and make one more.
Sleep an hour in the sun,
Talk TO your cows when milking's
done.
BY all that's good, be much alone,
Use no mans plow-horse but your own.
Piow as soon as hylas peep,
Now before the crickets cheep.
Never hope TO rise in life
Until you have brought home your
wife.
Never trust your corn to grow
Before you have a son or so.
There is no rain to match a mother.
Sons and seeds help on each other.

Lending for Protection

Hollywood thought a certain mo-

the amounts were small, but the
fact that he lent any at all was
