CONFIDENCE
vile Citizen.

Every day we hear it said that return to pros
perity is dependent upon restoration OF con"
fdenee. Confidence in what? is fair question
Confidence in peace undoubtedly would be a
restorative in a world which still remembers,
though each year less wildly the ravages of war.
But confidence in peace is more than a feeling
of assurance that there will not be war. 1t is a
positive conviction that brothery love is daily OPP
erative in the hearts of men a dynamic force.
To the extent that this positive quality is recog-
nized as natural attribute of man, there is con-
fdence in peace. This understanding results in
more than mere restoration of confidence as it
has existed in previous years. for it gives rise to
a more permanent and enduring consciousness of
peace than has hitherto been experienced. In place
of an armed truce, it produces reign of harmony.
Confidence in gold, the most concrete form of
material wealth. does not appear to be entirely
efficacous. The nation which possesses the worlds
greatest gold reserve has not thereby avoided
financial difficulties This precious metal, of which
primitive peoples used to manufacture idols seems
to have lost some of its former grip men.
A prominent German textile manufacturer, pre-
siding over meeting of the Council of the Inter-
national Chamber of Commerce in Paris, declared,
'"The fundamentals of our economic system are
violated when attempts made to turn all values
into gold or claims to gold" In like tone large
American oil company on the morrow of the bank
holiday published bracing advertisement under
the slogan, "You cannot turn the United States
into cash." 1t continued with, Currency is not the
measure of nations wealth." and urged the car
rying of BUSINESS as usual through credit.
Job made similar discovery many centuries
ago. He wrote:
eff I have made gold my hope, or have said to
the fine gold, thou art my confidence, This
also iniquity to be punished by the judge
for should have denied the God that is above
There can be only one satisfying answer to the
question as to where our confidence should be
placed. 1t must repose in the omnipotent ON
niscient and omnipresent power which the Psalmist
described ''the confidence of all the ends of the

UTASHINGTON--The good old
W reliable feature stories that
used to be busted off every few
months IN Washington are now
buried so deeply in dust that they
may never be resurrected again.
Those were the good cid days
when a Washington correspon-
dent never had to think very hard
if he diGn't want to. He didn't
know anything about the banking
situation, the gold standard, in
ternationll payments, domestic
allotments, democracy, imitation,
commodity prices, budget-balanc-
ing or the intricacies of Wall
Street finance. And he didn't
have to care. But he does now.
You could go to almost any old
government department and let it
be known that you were hard Up
for a story, whereupon the Off
Cial press agent would say, well,
you hadn't written this one or
that one for two 0r three years,
had you? SO you'd make sure
that no one else had written the
story in the preceding two or
three months, and go ahead and

RELIEF FUND
REPORT MADE

The ways Gn0 means commitpes
Ter unemployment relief transmits
to the public the following lnforma-
ton from the report of the relief
drive committee, Mark NJ. Munson,
chairman:
The community is under obliga-
ton to Mark Munson and his soli-
citorS for the efficient manner in
which the drive for pledges was
put over.
The drive for FUNDS was started
ON December 2, 1882, and has re-
manned open up to the present time
due tc the fact that several who
had signed pledges had not made
their contribution. While the drive
did not bring total pledges to the
amount desired, it was successful
from the standpoint of distribution
of pledges. AT the present time the
fund has about $3.50 per month
pledged, and it is expected this sum
will be increased to more than $1,000
monthly. This means that more
than 900 individuals who are en-
ployed are contributing to the re-
lief of the unemployed in this COM
munity. These contributions come
from business houses and their en-
ployees, school teachers, employees
of the city and county, and indivi-
duals of Ell Centro Some Of the
firms have contributed III addition
to the pledges of their employees.
On the date of the report of
the drive committee, January I3,
1888, the committee had deposited
the sum of $1244 to the credit of
the treasurer of the relief commit
tee. Since then. additional contri-
buttons have come in for the month
of January and new pledges are be-
ing made almost daily.
In addition to the pledges made
by business houses and individuals,

RUTH PEEvED
OVER TACTICS
By 5ACr CuD3Y


United FTz7s Sga2f Correspondent.
NEW YORK. Jan. is. - Babe
Ruth. whose home runs boosted
baseball salaries to unprecedented
heights, apparently has been sin
gled out by majer league club
owners to lead players back to
lower pay checks.
They've hung baseball's biggest
salary reduction about his neck
and started him off at the head
Of the procession.
That's why the Babe is fuming
angry over this 5000 slash the
New York Yankees have offered
him on a one-year contract for
1893. He doesn't relish being used
as a "come-on guy who might
induce fellow players to accept
lower wages.
Ruth is not worried about his
own salary this season. He ad-
mitted that point-blank during
chat at his apartment. He knows
the Yanks can't advantageouSly
go through with the $4,000 con-
tract they've offered him in place
of the SIS 900 for 1882. But he
doesn't like to see this proposed
$25,000 cut used as club to
bludgeon other players into accept
ing depression salaries.
The Babe would not discuss this
latter phase of the contract bus
mess, but close friends were not
backward in revealing his feelings
about it. In previous years, he
has taken the annual salary tilt
good naturedly-"a lot of fun and
good publicity" But this time he
feels he's being showed into an
unsportsmanlike role.
This feeling cropped out when
he admitted openly that he was
mighty sore" at Ed Barrow, the
clubs business manager. He be-
lieves Colonel Jacob Rupert, own
er of the Yanks, had no part in
the plan and harbors no resent
ment against him.
He declared he wouldn't dicker
with Barrow over the contract, and
further negotiations must come di-
rectly from Rupert. But he wants
the matter settled quickly. He
doesn't want to be stalled off un-
til March l, giving the various
club owners time to threaten
players by saying you'd better
slap your John Hancock on the
dotted line-loook what they're do
ing to Ruth"

rule always to insert one new
step, one new gag, one new song
or one new stooge in their act each
year, and the 1888 Rupert and
Ruth show, judging by the first act,
is the same routine the veteran
team has been putting on since
the boys joined up years ago. Not
line nor a gesture that delighted
millions back in the early twenties
has been changed.
The show still opens with Ruth,
growing old now, seated by the fire
place in his cozy little Riverside
Drive apartment, talking to his
wife.
You know, Money" the Babe
says, patting his wife's hand as the
curtain rises, you know honey, I
amt got but one or two more good
years out there in the old pasture.
But don't you worry, they're going
to be good ones. Squire Rupert
hasn't said anything about it, but
I know he's going to do right by
me. And honey, if we pinch a
little these next two years, We'll be
able to have both yachts paid for,
a million in the bank and that er-
mine farm thing all cleaned up,
when I get too old to give that
apple a ride"
Mrs. Ruth interrupts to ask Babe
how he feels.
Honey" the Babe replies, don't
you tell anybody, but my legs amt
spry as they use to be, and my wind
is kinda short. And I bruise pretty
easy. I guess playing in every
game would nigh on to kill me, but
I oughta get in around a 100 this
season."
The postman arrives and hands
Babe letter. In it is his 1888 con-
tract. in which Squire Rupert Of
fers him $4,000. Babe takes one
look at the figure and flies into
a deep-dish rage
Babe Does Stuff
What does Rupert think I am"
he thunders as the reporters swarm
through the door. Why here it is
two months before the season opens
and me but two pounds overweight,
I never felt better in my life. MY
legs are hard as bricks and my VIM
is like that of marathon runner"
A reporters suggests that maybe
Rupert figures Babe is getting old.
and won't be able to play in many
games.
What! Why I'll be in there
every day, and getting my knocks,
too"
The contract, unsigned, is drop
ped in the mail chute.
Every American citizen knows the
next two acts, which require nearly
two months. Babe keeps repeat
ing his refusal to play for such a
sum. Squire Rupert, from his Of
flee high IN his brewery, issues
statement after statement insisting
Ruth might just as well give in for
that's all he will get.
Then the scene shifts. 1t is st.
Petersburg. The Yanks are in
training, all save Ruth who spends
his day playing golf TO show Squire
Ruppert he's sulking. There is an
accidental meeting between the two.
They fall into one another's arms.
I'm give you s63,OOO," says Squire
Rupert.
III take it," answers the Babe.
And SO there, all alone save for
100 cameramen, so reporters, and
the mayor, all of whom happen
upon the meeting accidentally, the
treaty Of st. Petersburg is signed.
The curtain falls as Babe, sur
rounded by hundreds of admirers,

tain pen with which the treaty Is
