BUY NOW Thrift is commendable; everyone who can should save something. extravagant spending is: harmful, too much hoarding is equally detrimental, according to leading economists. For a long time there has been an un- usual percentage of unemployed in this country, as in the rest of the w ‘d..

The: prophet Mohammed also has probably found out the truth of the matter by this time, if he exists in some spiritual sphere, and will approve of the innovation. ‘enlaces A school in New York advertises a course in “asking for a job.” Which may not be as silly as it sounds. There is no doubt that many capable applicants for positions spoil their chances by awkward and unimpressive methods of approach. Salesmen are taught how to act in the pres: | ence of a prospective customer. Selling one’s self to a prospective employer is the. height of salesmanship. Why may it not be taught? While approving most of President liberal spending on the part of those who have money to spend for the faings they cam really use ard need. It has been pointed out that the ad- ditional spending of ten cents a day by every one of the 120: million people in the United States would increase the nation’s | business t» the extent of more than four billion dollars a year.: Of course, the un- . employed can not spend this extra ten cents a day, but millions of people could easily spend an additional dollay or more a day to good advantage and: hardly miss it. ¥t is: sound advice, then, to say to those | who can afford it: “Buy what you need | while prices are low; employ a little extra labor that ycu can use’ to advantage; stop hoarding and put more money into circula- , tion.” By follewing this advice the more for- | tunate elements of our citizenship may do much to accelerate the return of general prosperity. GOVERNMENTAL WASTE : —_—— : In an interview by the late Senator | Underwood of Alabama, for release after his death, that able statesman commented on the government’s wasteful methods dur- ing the World War, of which its shipbuild- ing program was a striking example. Of this he said: “The gevernment decided to build its own ships, believing that the price of $80 a ton offered by the United, Steel, Corpora- tion was too high. “Well, we had fivst to build wards, towns, plumbing, lighting, pavements, . all living eonveniences for thousands of em- ployees. “Alt last we got to the actual building of ships. When we gob through the ships had cost us, not $80 but from $250 to. $300 a ton.” This indictment of government opera- : tion. of industrial plants was made it should | be' remembered, by a Democrat, who loyally supported President Wilson during tbe | war, in spite of the tragic waste of time and money which Senator Undei:vood was powerless to prevent. The lesson to be drawn from this is: If you want something. done in the slow- est and most expensive way, let some poli- | tical agency do it. If you want it done quickly and economically, leave it to pri- vate initiative and private enterprise. sae THE FIRST SLAVE TRIAL Roosevelt's recovery. program, William | Randolph Hearst.through his great chain of newspapers is vigorously attacking the NRA;) ch he, like many others is re- tarding fecovery, rather than aiding it. The avowed objects of the NRA are laudablo enough, but its methods and their results are not so good, according te the views of an increasing number of patriotic citizens. This year turkeys will be graded in four classes, according to the Agriculture Department, and prices will presumably be governed by these classifications, which are: U.S. special, U.S. prime, U.S choice and U, S, commercia). Tough old gobblers will probably fall into the “commercial” grade. If any of us can afford a U. S. “spe. cial” bird for the Thanksgiving feast, we may know that we are showing some class, Does the constitutional right of free speech extend to a girl student who calls herteacher a “sap?” This weighty ques- tion is involved in a ruling by the Setau- ket, Long Island, schoo) beard, which has ordered 27-year-old: Elsie Awgusiaitus to apologize to her teacher, Harold Fogg, to whom she applied the offensive epithet. The fact that Mr, Fogg has invoked the law to force an apology seems to indicate that Elsie is right per se. i Phe .Frenchi people claim with pride that their country was the first in Burope ve have chattel slavery declared by a court . to be .unlawiul., story of the famous case. Beumark was the first European na- tion to declare by legislative act that all human beings on its soi] were free. That was in 1792 and the law took effect ten years later. But the legal case of John Boucaux, who was set free by a French court in the time of Louis XV came a half- century earlier. Boucaux had been brought to France from: Martinique, in the West Indies, by a Mousieur de Verdelin, whom the negro served as a cook. Remarking finally that he was in a cree country, Boucaux demand- ed waves. His master's reply was to have | him put in the prison of the Chatelet, at Paris. Boucaux was liberated after three days, there being no law to fit his case, and he thereupon sued his master for ten years” arrears of wages. Siuee he came froma French colony, the suit had to be heard im an Admiralty court, who were compelled to detain him nearly three months while they considered what their decision should be. It was a victory for Jean Boucaux, who was de- clared to have been “free from the moment he stepped on French soil aad to be a free man from now on.” neighbors.
