Springtime Is Cleanup Time

You can see signs of spring fever almost every
where. Farmers are plowing and sowing their fields.
Suburbanites are planting their gardens. Housewives
are cleaning and revamping homes. Communities are
starting improvement projects.
Winter is apt to be a time of general neglect
partly because of severe weather and partly because
of the press of other matters in that busy season. Va
cant lots. yards and even streets become %unsightly.
Now is the time for a thorough spring cleaning, en-
tending through the community, in the interest of
health, safety and civic progress.
Such a cleanup ampaign is a splendid activity
for civic clubs. chambers of commerce. Boy Scouts
and similar groups to sponsor. Every town should en-
ulate those communities which. through a spirit of
fine cooperation, have succeeded in gaining the name
of "Spotlesstown."
When a movement to paint up, cleanup and
beautify sweeps a community, it leaves in its wake a
healthier, happier town. From the standpoint of fire
safety alone, the movement pays big dividends-as
the records show, many a disastrous fire has been
caused by rubbish and litter. Drop a cigarette or a
cigar butt into an accumulation of trash and a con-
Eagration may ollow-furthermore piled rubbish
is always susceptible to spontaneous ignition.
Garry out the cleanup campaign by carefully
burning all trash in incinerators and under close OBJ
servation. Every citizen and every business will BEN
eft-socially and economically.

Make Way for the Ladies

In many of the primitive types of social organ
ization the women, rather than the men, were the
real rulers. They ran everything. There are still
countries in which the principal part which men play
is to do the hunting and fighting. leaving the manage
ment of everything else, including money, to the wo-
men. Everyone who has read Pearl Bucks moving
novel of modern China, The Good Earth has
learned that it is the women of the household who
boards and guards the family wealth.
Now, it seems possible, we are coming back in
America to conditions which date from the earliest
forms of social organization. We may not have a wo-
man president for many years to come, but everyone
realizes how the power of women in politics has been
steadily growing in the 20 years since the Woman
Suffrage amendment to the Constitution was adopted.
But few realize that there has been an even greater
tendency toward the accumulation by women of con-
troll of the national wealth. An eminent statistician
has recently estimated that the collective wealth of
the women of America, including life insurance. pol
icies made out to them, is in the neighborhood of two
billion dollars-two thousand millions.
Today women own one-fourth to one-third of all
of our American industries and they comprise from
80 to SIS per cent of the stockholders of our large
corporations. They are benefciaries Of 80 per cent of
the life insurance written, which totals over $780,
600, 900. 900.
The taxable income reported by women in 1928
was over SO, 1000, 600, 900. or approximately 38 per
cent of all the income reported.
Women buy 80 per cent of all the consumable
commodities, and one out of every five persons gain
fully employed is a woman.
Those are facts to think about, particularly for
women to think about. They have a great opportunity
but also a grave responsibility. If women are eventu-
ally to be the real owners of America, as seems en-
tirely possible, then the sooner the combined COM
nonsense of their sex is applied to affairs of govern
ment, business and industry, the better off the nation
will be. The job the men are making TO a good many
problems which touch all of us is nothing to brag
about.

WITH H EDITORS
Peculiar Justice

The many ardent followers of the Townsend
Plan must have moments of be~wilderment indeed
when they ponder upon the vagaries of government.
Imagine their feelings as they watch their Founder
go to Jail for the crime of walking out on a congress
sional investigating committee which had badgered
the elderly idealist beyond endurance, while the same
government whose dignity was so terribly injured
stands idly by as thousands Of workmen hout court
orders and injunctions designed to keep them within
the same law that Townsend violated. 1t has been
charged many times that this country has one law for
the influential and another for the helpless. In fact,
it has been said by many of our most potent current
reformers. 1t begins to look like the accusation is
still true in spite Of the new broom which started to
sweep in March, 1933-Phillips County (Malta)
News.
A native of India walked 10 feet over red-hot
embers without burning his feet. A man like that
could break the spirit of the average "hot-foot" ar
list.
A Detroit man was arrested for trying to break
up a sit-down strike with a knife. A more astute fell
low would have used tacks.
A. foreign lecturer who was gassed in the World
War is giving his audiences a pretty good idea of
what he went through.

The sitdown situation became alarming enough

FALSE REPORTS

We were talking one evening
about the World War and a gentle
mar who had been a very gallant
officer in it asked if we remembered
the dispatch in the newspapers of
those days about the bombing OF
Metz.
Our friend said that after the
Armistice he was one of the Ameri-
can officers sent forward to occupy
MetX. Having read so much about
the destruction of the depot he
headed straight for it expecting TO
find 1t pulverized. To his surprise it
seemed in nearly perfect condition.

to those false dispatches. Last year

some newspaper printed | re-read
the headlines of the first six months
of the war. What weird reading
they make now! Stories of Allied
success. and of German failure and
German atrocities.

and loathsome. The militarists say
that no. war has ever been prevented
by lack of our with which to
wage it. Men always have fought

and they commended without money.

may be true, though personally |
doubt 1t. But one thing is sure. Men
cannot fight without hate. And you

hunters are still in the wilds and
it is believed the herds will be suf-
