that answer. It may startle

ONCE-OVERS
The Good.FelIoW Girl


The good-fellow sort of girl
the free and easy kind willing
to try almost anything once
enormously believes she is a
winner with the boys.
To a certain degree she may
be popular, yes.
But the boys don't want their
sisters to emulate her, nor does
she meet the requirements they
have set for the girl they want
to marry.
AS playfellow girls - good
scouts-girls don't carry a very
high regard among their men
and boy friends, whom they
most wish to please.
There is plane Of woman
illness, respect and honor, from
which a girl should not wish
to depart and cannot afford to
descend.
If she does try a compromise
she cannot regain what she has
lost among those who know
Of her easy principles.
It is not necessary for 8 girl
to be too Straight-laced, so
much so that she is suspicious
of every boy and is doubtful
Of his intentions or principles.
She should not be the sort
that sees something bad and
harmful in practically every di-
version in which young folk
indulge.
The youth of today is no
worse at heart than their eld-
ers were but they are sooner
diSillusioned and lose much OF
life's beauty by trying to seize
its pleasures too fast to know
what it is all about.

A Guests Obligations

When you are an overnight
guest you should remember that
your host and hostess, eSpe-
cially the host, must work the
next day and need sleep and
rest.
Too often, visitors free from
workaday demands for the
time being, are in no hurry to
retire; they can sleep late next
morning.
The excitement and expe-
rienceS of a trip and the many
things they wish to talk about
keeps them nerved up and
wide awake until a late hour.
Those who are doing the en-
tertaining in the home do not
have such a stimulant to keep
them awake.
Host and hostess hesitate
about taking the initiative in
proposing that guests retire at
a reasonable hour.
They wish to respect the in.
clinationS of the guests.
This being true, the guest
should have common sense
enough to suggest going to bed
at a time that will permit the
required hours of sleep for
home folk.
Haven't you tried to prop
your eyes open while a guest
ran on and on a steady stream
of words and ideas till you be-
came dull and stupid-looking?
Then have some conSidera.

retire in time, before you weary
your friends with your volu-
bility.

Il papers contained state
ments from two presidential
candidates, Herbert Hoover
and Governor Roosevelt. 1t
is Just as we'll in the case of
the latter's statements to
bear in mind the things he
did not say. He did not pro-
pose that the money of the
very rich be confiscated and
distributed among the poor.
He did say that, hereafter,
there must be a more equit-
able distribution of the joint
fruits of capital and labor
among employers and en-
ployes.
Of course, when the con-
centration of wealth reaches
the point where 5 per cent Of
the people own 95 per cent
of the wealth, it is rather
difficult for the society
under which it is brought
about to justify itself to the
95 per cent of the people
who have 5 per cent of the
wealth. We doubt if the
opponents of Roosevelt will
do him any serious harm by
describing him as unfriendly
to the further concentration
Of wealth.
There are fewer people in
America today IN favor of it
than gentlemen who do not
come into contact with the
people suspect. AS a matter
Of political strategy, were we
managing the Roosevelt cam
paign we would hire a few
men to abuse him because Of
his unfriendliness to Wall
Street. There are so few
today who are friendly to it.
The President Ignores
The Conditions
Mr.. Hoover, also a candi-
date for President, issues an
other campaign statement in
which he reiterates his stand
against a Federal bond is
sue for a great public works
program to put human
beings to work. He finds
this unusual, almost revo-
lutionary.
But these are unusual
times, almost revolutionary
times, and there are mo-
ments when Mr.. Hoover ap-
preciates it. He must have
proposed to loan two bill
lions of dollars from the
Federal Treasury to banks,
railroads and corporations
because the times are un-
usual and almost revolution
ary. The trouble with him
is that he is not against re-
sorting to unusual and un-
precedented measures to help
A capital and reserves his op-
position to such measures de-
signed to help the unem-
ployed and agriculture.
What has any Administra-
tion ever done that is more
revolutionary than the loan
ing Of public money to pri-
vate business?
And yet it was right in
adopting this unprecedented,
revolutionary course be-
cause of the critical condi-
tions. "It is a condition,
not a theory, that confronts
us" The failures of banks
with frozen assets, the col
lapse of railroads and their
securities, would do deadly
damage to every one of us.
o Our criticism of the Presi-
dent is that the moment the
equally unusual plan to use
Federal money to create
work to restore the unem-
ployed to the purchasing
class is proposed, he ignores
the conditions and falls back
upon the theory.

Progress Is
Being Made


between the President and
the Congress.
There are several plans
now pending in House and
Senate. Senator Wagner's
original bill, providing for q
two-billion-dollar prosperity
loan, will not be abandoned.
Another bill, sponsored by
the Democrats, is a compro-
mise, though it is infinitely
better than Mr.. Hoover
proposition.
Speaker Garner has a plan,
submitted in the House, on
which there will be a vote,
which also provides a pros
.perity loan to be paid off by
a gasoline tax.
Senator La Follette's bill
is for a five-billion-dollar
loan-and this sum we think
preferable to the others. The
latter bill will be introduced
as an amendment to what
ever measure is brought in.
Thus progress is being
made-because one year Of
agitation has crystalized
public sentiment for a pros
perity loan. When the de-
bate begins we would urge
upon these millions in the
streets to follow it care
fully-for it is of vital in
terest to them; and carefully
to note the members who
align themselves with Mr..
Hoover. 1t will not be long
until they will have the op-
portunity to do a little vot-
ing themselves.
Granaries groaning witk
grain, banks bulging WITH
money--and people hungry
and starving because they
are not permitted to earn
bread and money in self
respecting toll.
No social system, no civil
lization can justify that pic
ture.
No nation in history has
ever permitted such a condi-
tion to exist long that did not
go under-and we are now
looking forward to the
fourth winter in which moth
ing adequate has been done.

IlOQ Ill GIl0 CIISlS.
One Method Adequate
For Such a Crisis
1t is gratifying to find
that the Democrats and Pro-
gressives in Congress are 60
ing to give battle to the
President on this issue. They
are going to use the credit
of this nation, not only to
bolster banks and railroads,
but to prevent the literal
starving of women and chill
dren.
There is only one way to
make a drive against unem-
ployment - and that is
through public works fl
nanced by a Federal bond
issue. The hungry children,
the desperate mothers, the
breadwinners denied their
inalienable right to work
are sick and tired of the re-
iteration of Mr.. Hoover's
meaningless phrase that
"what you and I want is to
restore normal employment. "
Of course we do! We
want prosperity again. We
want the slow starvation Of
children in the midst Of
plenty stopped. We want
business to thrive again.
But we are not going to get
any of these things merely
by wanting them. We have
to do something to get them.
And there is only one
method adequate for such a
crisis, and Mr.. Hoover is op-
posed to that.
