Eating One's Cake
A great ninny people pot Into the habit during the period of
l)ip; profits, and liieh wnije.s, of spending money freely. They
bought a great many things they hnd done without nil their lives.
They indulged in- a great many luxuries they could do without,
taking no thought of the morrow. Some of them, who no longer
are required to. pay income taxes, have come to the conclusion
, that "one cannot eat his cake und have' it too.
: . Legally, these people had a perfect right to spend their money
as they pleased'. They came by their money honestly, and if they
wanted to gratify u wish or indulge in things they had never
been able to afford,,il was nobody's business if they did so. In
deed, some of them were justified in' obtaining some good things
of . life, and, even if . they have spent their money for them, they
are undoubtedly better off than they were before. The "dough
may he 'locking, but if expended judiciously, those who spent it
have gained wider experiences and obtained broader views of life.
Only the people who "blew their money in" assumed a respons
ibility which they morally hud no right to assume. And such
people are generally the ones who today are pulling up the "holler"
because they no longer have "big profits and high wages." They
have created for themselves and those dependent on them habits
and tastes which they can 110 longer pursue and gratify, and, in
their discontent, are blaming everyliody but themselves for hav
ing to readjust themselves to'normal conditions of life. The im
morality of extravagance lies in expenditure that has not been
warranted under normal conditions and is not warranted under
abnormal conditions, for the reason that abnormal will sooner 01
. later react to normal. ,
It is realization that cake has been eaten that is causing to ,11m pxpinmition
'. 'considerable extent the discontent now prevailing. Men win
made big profits and spent them are dissatisfied with smaller pro
fits which do not pemiit the reckless expenditure they indulged
in. Men who earned high wages and spent them injudiciously are
resentful that wages now earned do not permit them to live as
, '' formerly. Such results are natural, yet this does not aid them in
, reaccommoduting themselves to conditions which they never liked
abd thought they had gotten away from. Natural law is less un
derstood by the average man or woman than statute law is, and
Hindi the day of reckoning -conies. '
War compelled the peoples of devastated European countries
to return to conditions of living from which they had been grad
ually rising. Money there was spent for shot, shell and trench.
Their cake was eaten, but in the manner of the eating there is
inspiration for the recreation of wealth. In contrast, riotous liv
ing on the profits of Europe's war led the American people to eat
their cake, and left them with less incentive to make the best of
the situation, though they can, if they will pull themselves out of
their present slough of despond and live more comfortably than
Europeans can for generations to come.

nificent hospitality, the kind Unit rings true from the leading
banker to the small I!oy Scout all stopped to take care of their
guests. It was noticeabe from the Union hotel to the high school ;
it was apparent in every store and shop in the town.
- And the banquet sewed by the ladies of Union in the high
school auditorium under direction of the local Chamber of Com

dered by the daughters of the town that carries that modesty so
sweet to observe.
The mothers of Union last evening made a record for them
selves nnd all Union county with the stockmen. No finer ban
quet was ever seived east of tho Cascade mountains.
The Evening Observer is very proud of the entire program
which the city of Union nnd her people gave to the visitors.
