LISTEN, WORLD!
By Elsie Robinson

BUT IT ISN'T POURING
THAT BOOZE DOWN YOUR
THROAT. IT ISN'T TURN
ING YOUR DECENT HOME
INTO A ROWDY PLACE. 1T
ISN'T CAUSING THE NEIGH
BORS TO TALK ABOUT YOU.
YOU, YOURSELF, ARE TO
BLAME FOR ALL THESE
THINGS.
YOU'RE TO BLAME BE
CAUSE YOU HAVEN'T THE
GUMPTTON TO STAND UP
FOR YOUR OWN DECENT
IDEALS IN THE FACE OF
POPULAR VULGARITY.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO
DO AS OTHER PEOPLE DO"
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE
A COPY-CAT.
You can live a decent and
dignified life if you wish to live
one.
Get New Friends
If you don't like drinking and
your friends insist on drinking,
get some new friends who won't
insist on drinking. There are
still plenty of such in this old
world.
If people get bored unless you
give them liquor in your home,
invite people who won't be
bored.
MAKE UP YOUR OWN MIND
WHAT YOU WANT TO BE
AND DO. AND THEN BE AND
DO 1T.
You don't have to be preachy
or pesty about it. You don't
have to make other people un-
comfortable. Just laugh and
Thanks, but I pass. I'm
off the stuff" Then if they kid
you, let them-BUT STICK BY
YOUR GUNS. And if they get
mean about it, set the we'll
known hind legs in motion and
GET GOING!
For your own self.respect is
more important than the opin.
ion of a million friends. And
the dirtiest traitor on earth is
the man who betrays his own
standards for fear of ridicule.
Suit YourSeIfl
So make your own pattern
and don't be copy-cat. And
that goes for more than booze.
1t goes for endless Stiffness and
Vulgarity which flourishes in
our daily life.
You don't have to drink un-
less you wish to,
You don't have to gossip un-
less you wish to.
You don't have to listen to
dirty stories unless you wish to.
You don't have to go with
cheap people unless you wish
to.
You don't have to follow any
silly fad simply because "it's
being done" And, if you're
cheerful about your refusal, you
can retain all the worth while
friends you ever had. and make
more and better ones.

MO one longer has the
~ temerity to deny that
misgovernment has played a
principal part in reducing
nation, richer than most in
natural resources, to a con-
dition that means beggary
for millions. With people
starving while granaries
groan with boarded grain,
and business unable to go
ahead for lack Of credit,
with banks filled with money,
it is all too clear that our
troubles are man-made. Ma
ture has given us every
chance and we have thrown
it away.
1t is the gluttony and
greed of men, unhampered
but encouraged by govern
ment, that have brought the
depression or the panic or
whatever you will. The idea
of some of the super-scien-
fists that man has nothing to
do with the making and
breaking of the prosperity
of peoples, but that some
irresistible economic laws do
it, won't wash.
Many believe that the poll
cies of privilege that have
run amuck during the dec
ade of the chest minds"
which began with a satur-
MALTA of corruption and is
drawing to a close in the
most dangerous depression
in history, are solely re-
sponSlble Tor our plight.
The whole course of Gov
ernment during these II
years has accelerated the
collapse; but the drift to-
ward it began as much as
IS years ago when privi-
lege was enthroned in gov
ernment with the aid of bay
onets.
That was the time that
Jeffersonian principles were
renounced and Hamilton
ian policies were adopted.

True Veteran
Of Statesmen

Many years ago, when a
young boy, l knew a very
old man who had witnessed
at close range the change in
the whole spirit of govern
ment in America. He lived
in a rambling brick house
at Irvington, near Indian
apolis. He was a statesman
with a long career behind
him in Congress and as a
leading light among the
abolitionists. He had been
on the congressional COM
mittee on the Conduct of the
War throughout Lincoln's
first Administration; he had
been a member Of the House
committee that drew up the
articles of m p eachment
against Andrew johnson;
for many years he was the
foremost statesman in Con-
gress dealing with the pub
lie lands. He entered the
Republican party with the
religious zeal that inspired
so many to do so. He be-
came one Of the most in
tense of partisans, and often
went to extremes in his par
tisanship. Then he turned
upon the policies of his
party in the same. spirit of
patriotism and left it for
good.

It all looks so simple and

And men marry, today, as
they have always done, for con-
ISOLATION or out of pique, when
some woman has thrown them
over little too hard, and they
want to lay their heads on

Some men marry in a spirit
of bravado, as they go in for
hunting big game or for max
ing flying records: just to prove
that they are conquerors and
can "beat the other fellow to
