BUDGETS BIG AND LITTLE
{ Riverside Press

Budgets are all the style these days.
They are talked about so much they have
grown to be one of the greatest items
in our existence.
The kids with their first Jobs write
to the newspapers or magazines how to
budget their pay. The girls want SO to
manage that they may have savings,
vacation money, silk hose and cosmetics,
along with their board and lodging. The
boys want automobiles and money to take
their girls out besides money for furni-
ture and the wedding ring.
It's a fine thing that boys and girls
are taking so much thought about their
money When they budget they learn
many things, and not only the arithmetic
of adding carfare, board money and sub
tracing gasoline prices. They learn the
essentials of management, how to balance
one thing with another, where to balance
and where to retreat in order to get the
most out of their circumstances They
learn self CONTROL too, and they learn to
look ahead.
you can not possibly know what you
want in a house." says a we'll known
architect, until you have thought out
what you want out of your life" Learn
ing how to manage their money, young
people are beginning to think out their
lives. And probably great deal more
than We realize. this current anxiety
about the budget will mean a greater
ability to save in the years to come.

WHEN Is A
CONSERVATIVE?
Oscar r. Ewing, eastern CAM
paign manager for the McNutt
presidential organization, has a
peeve. One of the ultra-liberal
weekly magazines recently referred
to him, Sneeringiy, as "a conser-
vative corporation lawyer" He's
sore about it.
He does come from high-up-
the-ladder law firm but he
was an ardent and outspoken sup
porter of President RooScVcltS S
plan to enlarge the Supreme
Court, and he figures that ought
to make him permanently ineli-
gible for the title Of conservative.

DARK CITIES

An English weekly says that the Brit
ish people are losing more lives on their
own streets than on the battlefield"
This is partly because there has not been
much real fighting at the British front,
but the rising toll of casualties on Brit
ish streets and highways is a serious
matter.
1t comes from the "blackouts' which
now keep the streets 50 dark that walk
ing about at night is difficult and driv-
ing is very hazardous

A VALUABLE LETTER.
FOR THE REPUBLICANS
[ Honolulu Star-Bulietln1

Just before ending his second term as
president, Thomas jefferson, patron
saint OF the Democratic party, wrote a
letter in which he said:
That should lay down my charge at
a proper period is as much duty as to
have borne it faithfully | should
unwillingly be The person who disre-
garding the sound precedent set by an
illustrious predecessor Washington
should furnish the first example of pro-
longation beyond a second term of Of
flee"
Later, in his biography, jefferson
wrote:
Should president consent to be
candidate for third election, | trust he
would be rejected on this demonstration
of ambitious views
The original letter, signed by the third
president. is still In existence. The other
day it was auctioned as part of the
William Randolph Hearst collection.
The letter was bought by Charles J.
Whalen of Chicago, who paid $775 for
it. a rather high figure even for docu-
ment signed by Thomas jefferson. Per-
hapS the fact that Mr.. Whalen is Re-
publican, and one who stands high in
the party councils, explains its value.
We may hear more of this letter.
particularly if the Democrats, including
Mr.. Roosevelt, continue to refer to Thom-
as jefferson as their great political guide
and mentor.

appeared 10 De an advertising paIl-
phet. but saw it was the magazine
called Talk" running an article
entitled Childhood Fears" 1t has
much of real help and 1 quote 1t
herewith:
What can l do to help my child
overcome his fear?" is perhaps the
most common question that parents
ask. Fears of the dark, of animals
OF water, of imaginary creatures,
arc common place amoung child
rem. They do no lasting harm un-
less they are allowed TO persist or
unless they are handled ruthleSsly
in an attempt TO break what some
parents are pleased to term a bad
habit
But children's fears are not
bad habits, and each one has a
basis which parents should try to
discover and to understand.
Psychologists have found that
merely trying to talk the child out
Of his fears is of little avail. Help
in acquiring SkillS, and the conf
dence that comes from them, they
point out, are among the best
arise through general sense OF
inadequacy.
In combating specific tears,
psychologists tell us, nothing is
SO effective as having the child
come to grips with the situation
that causes them. But this should
be done by degrees and with the
help OF an older person in whom
the child has confidence. If he is
afraid of dogs, do not suddenly
remarks on their gentleness and
faithfulnesS, and let him play
with a toy dog before encouraging
him to approach and pet a real
one.
Parents should avoid using 4
childS fears as a method of dis
cipline or punishment. Nothing is
SO injurious TO his mental health
or his sence of security. The bad
man in the cellar may do mother
temporary service at the cost OF
irreparable emotional injury to
Johnnie.
IF you want your child to grow
up self confident and self reliant,
don't play on his fears or wait for
him to grow out of them. Help
him 10 overcome them-now'
Here are some arleSuing SEN
tcnces sifted from a letter sent by
Carl Wallner of Fort Worth
Texas. to his oil and grease sales
men.
please ask yourself these two
questions: /. What do I think
about it? 2. What am I going to
do about it?"
AS long as there is margin
between what you are and what
you want to be, or ought to be,
there is room for improvement
and need for action"
I felt sure you'd want to read
it. After you have read it why
not ask yourself the above two
questions.

Workers Choose

Employees of the Endicott-John-
son Shoe Company have for years
been accorded pretty white treat
mert by their boss. The other day,
they were asked TO vote on
whether they wanted to join c.
1. O. or A. +. of L. union--or
neither. BY a vote of five to one,
the $4,000 workers rejected both
unions, emphasized their desire to
remain unattached.
Union leaders apparently made
a tactical biunder. With conditions
elsewhere in need of improvement,
the unions might better have Sc
lectco more fertile ground for
their campaigns.

MEMBER
JITTERY, INCOMPETENT,
OR JUST UNWILLING?

Those who handle the peoples money
hold a sacred trust: when they violate
that trust their crime is greater and
their punishment should be greater than
that of another who perpetrates COM
parable crime against private interests.
The law itself should be more diligent in
tracking down those who steal from the
public, the laws agents shoul' be more
diligent in seeing that they are punished.
The rule has not been followed in the
theft of $4,000 or more from FL Centre
city water department funds. From its
beginning, the case has shown deplol-
able lack of good police work. Perhaps
the law enforcement officers were jit-
terry because a public employe was m
volved. Perhaps they were incompetent.
Or perhaps they were unwilling to go
the limit because they feared public re-
action to disclosure of irregularities in
handling of city funds.
Only court will decide if Mrs. Lillian
Richards Little is guilty or innocent, but
her surrender after four days, at least
part of which time was spent in some
undisclosed place in FL Centre, brings
TO mind many questions. Among them
Why was Mrs. Little allowed to dis
appear at a time when she must have
been under suspicion? Why was she not
placed in custody or, if evidence was not
strong enough for that, al least placed
under surveillance?
Why was there no search OF the places
in Ell Centro where Mrs. Little would, OBJ
viously, have gone? Why were the homes
of her intimates not watched or search
ed?
Why, after she surrendered, was there
no apparent effort to determine who had
shielded her from arrest, and to arrest
and charge the guilty person with har-
boring fugitive? Undisclosed knowl-
edge of such a person might certainly
be described as compounding felony.
Why should the E Centro police chief
leave the city during the heat Of the in
vestiyation to track down Mrs. Littles
husband who was, in the light of facts
known at that time. of secondary inn
portance Could not he have sent an
other officer, and stayed to direct the in
vestigation?
Why was it necessary for the sheriff
to make terms with q third person to
bring about Mrs. Littles surrender, when
officers must have mad an idea, if not of
where she was, at least of how they could
find her? And who was the third per-
son?
Are there more facts in the case of
which the public has not been informed?
This is public business, dealing with
public money, reflecting on the integri-
ty of public employees. If it dealt only
with some thug or racketeer invading
private rights, loose handling might be
overlooked to a more marked degree than
in this case. Here no person with an
iota of responsibility to the public can
afford to remain quiet, and still keep
clear conscience.
