' Human nature being what it is there must be a check put on both employer and employee. Bither will go the limit unless halted. Se the founders of this common- wealth established a constitution, and it is up to us to see that it is not tampered with. Gevernor Cone, who is a great ad- mirer of I'resident Roosevelt, feels that he should not be too insistent in making his recommendations to the legislature for fear of being tagged as a dictator. But if the chief executive is his mentor, the Or: ernor should do a little dictatoring to keep in practice just in case. in a Western city, the 150 employees ef a drug company didn't like the owner of the who was also the man- ager, so they decided to inaugurate a sit-; down strike until a new manager was in-| stalled, which was done, but the owner! was permitted to retain the presidency of | the company.

This sum would leave little mar- gin for the expense of compiling lists, travel for speechmaking, newspaper ad- vertising or other expenditures inseparable | from an aggressive campaign. } In Illinois and Pennsylvania the num- | ber of voters is approximately poe less than in New York, so it would take! about $200,000 to reach each voter one piece of campaign literature and leave a small amount for other expenses in either { of these great states. These figures would only cover pri- |! mary expenses, while in all three t states * mentioned there would be additional out- ; lays necessary incident to the | elections. All of which illustrates how futile it | is, generally speaking, for a poor man without rich supporters to aspire to high office. j ———-———_—— | THE PANAMA CANAL On August 15, 1914, the Panama | Canal was opened, but during its early | years traffic was not great, owing to land | slides which closed the channel from time | to time, and also because of the reduced movement of shipping due to the war. The canal was not declared officially | opened until 1920, since which time about | & 80,000. commercial _ toll-paying vessels | have passed through it, paying tolls ex-| ceeding $300,000,000. In addition, many | American warships and other’ goverment | vessels have used the canal toll-free. Up to 1935 expenditures in building | and improving the canal had reached 540 million dollars, the interest on which at 3! per cent is more than 16 million dollars { a year. Contrary to the general Panama Canal has not’ been proposition for the United States govern-! ment, when its investment in the project is belief, the i a paying | i considered. During several years the deficit exceeded four million dollars a} year. The only way in which the canal | can be considered an asset to the federal | government is by taking into account its | supposed value to the national defense. Whether the canal could be defended against a first-class power in time of war | is one of the country’s important military | problems. This problem did not arise dur- ing the World War, as the Central Powers , had no fleet in either the Atlantic or Pacific after the United States entered the struggle. 7 ee | THE YOUTH PROBLEM From the earlie times it appears that the problem of directing young folks | in the proper way has engaged the serious | attention of reformers and uplifters—and ! busy bodies. A book on etiquette published in 1850 gravely warns young women of the perils declares that “unmarried ladies should refrain from the waltz alto- gether, in public and in private.” It is as- sumed that married ladies were supposed to be immune to its demoralizing effects. Every once in a while someone digs | up an old newspaper or magazine contain- ing an article which throws light on this | tendency to werry about the young people of the past. The the present generation are causing consterna- | tion among the self-appointed guardians of morali Ther { boys and girls of is little reason, however, for believing that the young folks of 1937 are any worse, morally or other than those of former times.
