I'm THANKFUL
By F. G. swartz

I'm thankful that I'm thankful,
For, were l not, I'm sure
I'd miss thousand blessings
That come flOcking to my door.
So l stand there at the portal
And, with a smiling face,
I greet each new-found blessing,
Waiting there to take its place,
Till my soul is filed with rapture,
And it's heaven here below
Just to know my Father loves me
And is caring for me so.
For did not the Master teach us
That we all should thankful be
When He broke the loaves and fishes
On the shore of Galilee?
1t is only he who's thankful
That the Father seeks to bless
With His richest, choicest treasures,
JOY and peace and happiness.
So I've learned. this simple lesson
If any good would flow to me,
In my heart | must be thankful
For His wOndrOus gifts so free!

the nine States whose Legislatures
held regular sessions in 1884 indicates
that relatively little attention was de-
voted to children'S problems that wear,
according to compilation made by
the Children's Bureau of the Labor
Department.
Scant attention was given to pro-
visions for dependent children. Viz

financing of mothers aid admins

the county expenditures, instead of
one-third as formerly. Bills to liberal

made mandatory in every county.
New York created the Woodbourne

Iowa made it an ofTense to oper-

such as "marathons," valuations"
and "skatathons Maine passed a
less drastic law OF the same kind, and
Wisconsin raised from 16 to II years
the minimum age at which unaccom-

dances.
In the field of maternal and child
health, Iowa. Kansas and MICHIGAN

question whether the appropriation

McCarl said, however, the law

IMITATION TO PREACHERS

Imitation, they say, is the highest form of fiat
terry.
A week or so ago preachers and clergymen al
over the country received form letter from the
White House in which their advice asked in
the name Of President Roosevelt. The recipients OF
the letters received them and commented upon
them and answered them with great variety OF
feelings and opinions.
But it took Wisconsin minister to point out
that President Roosevelt's letter used phrases and
sentences almost Identical with those used by Gov
Philip F. LaFollette Of Wisconsin in letter to
preachers of that state last March;
The LaFollette letter began:
"Your high calling brings you into intimate daily
contact not only with your parishioners but
with people generally in your community l am
sure also that you see the crucial problems of your
people with wise and sympathetic understanding"
The Roosevelt letter stated:
"Your high calling brings you into intimate daily
contact not only with your parishoners but
with people generally in your community. All
sure you see the problems of your people with wise
and sympathetic understanding"
The second paragraph of the LaFollette letter
, read:
GAS face the heavy responsibilities of the gov.
ernorshp, | am turning to representative clergy.
men for advice, help and counsel feeling confident
that no group can give more accurate or unbiased
views"
The second paragraph of the Roosevelt letter
read:
Because of the grave responsibilities of my Of
! flee, am turning to representative cergymen TO,
counsel ard advice, feeling confident that no grour
can give more accurate or unbiased views"
A longer intermediate paragraph dealt with un
employment in the LaFollette letter while in the
Roosevelt letter this paragraph told of the new
social security legislation and the works program

marked neutrality-suspicious. News and Argus

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
BANKING AND BUSINESS

I very large percentage of the assets OF tne
hanks ia in the form of government bonds, paying
a IovU rate of interest This means that the gov
larnroent is borrowing the peoples money because
H. &c the peoples money on deposit in the banks
.ba+ = nsed IN b,:v the bonds. In case of revival
- b,s;ness with ordinary stocks and bonds paying
! e .- cent instead of about per cent, which the
oorarnnoent paws, people will no longer deposit
| noorcv in banks where it can be used in buying
government bonds that pay only per cent In
stead they will buy ordinary stocks and bonds
which will pay per cent or more.
As a result the government will have to greatly
increase it's interest rate or it's bonds will shrink
badly in value Of course, on those already held
by the banks, on which the interest rate is fixed,
there will be no alternative but to suffer vast
shrinkage in value. To compete with per cent
return they will have to sell at $50 thereabort
for a 800 bond, assuming that the average in
terest on bonds is 2 per cent. This in turn will so
reduce the assets of the banks that they will be
bound to fall Since the government guarantees
deposits, it will be called to pay for the losses
occasioned by the shrinkage in value OF It's own
bonds. This it can do only by issuing other bonds
at vastly increased interest rates. AS its credit Will
have been damaged by the first loss in value, such
bords if saIabIe at all will probably have to be
sold below par Meantime, the increase IN the IN
terest rate further unbalances the governments
budget, and calls for still more borrowing at IN
creasingly higher interest rates and discounted
sales because it's credit is damaged. 80 runs the
cycle till nothing is left to do but start the printing
Of worthless money with it's attendant disasters OF
ruin. rapudiation and revolt.
Any notable improvement in business, much as
it NAV be desired carries with it the seeds of ruin
unless the budget is balanced and borrowing ceases,
and the credit of the government is made safe.
This is a warning to thoughtess people that they
must watch those to whom they have entrusted the
government, before irreparabe disaster overtake5
them. 1t is no pleasant task to attempt to demon
strate the dangerous situation in which we find ou"-
selves, and the writer undertakes it only because
he thinks there is still chance to avert the peril
This can only be done by ceasng wild spending
and encouraging private business by which method,
only money can be obtained through taxation to
pay the cost of government.-Albert MilmOw n

VOTE YOUR WAY
By WICKES WAMBOLDT

we both stayed away from the
polls.
That reminds me Of a southern
planter who was being driven tc
the polls one day by an old col
ored servant:
"Zeke," inquired the planter
who was a Democrat, Chow are
you going to vote?"
Use gwine tub vote de pub
lican ticket, Kunnel," replied
Zeke.
"How long nave you been vot-
ing the Republican ticket asked
the planter.
"Evah sence All was ole enough
tub vote" answered Zeke.
"Well, them" observed the
planter, ''for twenty years you
and l have been driving fifteen
miles to the polls to cancel each
others vote. Hereafter, Zeke,
you and I will stay home on cleo
ton day"
But the planter did not have
the right idea. SO far as the ac-
tual effect on the elections was
concerned, he and Zeke might as
we'll have stayed at home; Jut
the moral effect calls for consid-
eration-the moral effect on the
planter and on Zeke Of doing their
duty as citizens.
1t is the duty Of every person
who has the right to vote to do
so. The right TO vote is sacred
privilege won for us by the spilled
blood of our forefathers. We
should cherish this privilege and
honor it. We should not ignore il
nor dcfile it.
And the way to cherish and
honor our privilege of franchise
is to give serious thought to the
matters to be voted on; then to
cast our ballots according to our
own best judgment and con-
science.
