SUBSCRIPTION PRICES One year, in advance $2.00 Six Months, In advance 11.00 SHUT 'EM UP I The charge is frequently made by the city dweller that life in the small town is narrow and self-centered, that petty gossip is the chief diversion of the people, and the pity of 1. is that it is true. Ci:y people are, however, even more selfish and self-centered thai, the s:nal. town dweller, but they ara freer from the annoyance of gossip. The city lias its sneaks and cow ards and hold up iiK-u who strike in In looking through the country town for men of prestige and re nown, who build and advertise a place, we fihd the banker sets the pace. There are some slanteked money kings who keep small towns from do- tlie darlc, but they are pearls of per- Ing things, but they are scarce- Some sober, honest thinking, clean- nilndedness in viewing our neighbors, and Christian charity in our public contracts would do a lot to stop trouble makers. "Shut up at least one scand'. miger each day," would be a fine motto for every one to adopt. The next time you are told a scan dalous story, ask the teller to furnish you with the proof of its truth. Then watch 'em squirm. THE BANKER ftct'on by comparison with the veno- inous-tongued speaker of scandal. "Have you h-ard the juicy bit about So and So?" is the backbiter's invariable openin?. Then follows a slashing of reputations and a befoul ing of good r.r.nies which would sicken a soul, while It gladdens the heart of the devil. The anonymous letter, the annony nious to'.eph'jne message, the whisper ed "Now, I'll tell you, but don't use my n;;me if you repeat it," launch the conceded venom of a fifthy mind. Once on its way, the gullible, the fool ish, tho idie, and the vicious pass it along and embellish the story until its croitor can baiely recognize it. So goes t ' sncadal story. So do tho viciouh end t lie simple-minded com bine o. srjiir' h good men and women. No v'l i so prevalent and far death seals their doom and then their towns enjoy a boor. When you ve a chance to make a haul by buying pickles in the fall and peddling pick les inthe spring ana tnus Decome a pickle king, you do not seek your maiden aunt and spring your coin-extracting chant, you don't slam and meekly rend your robes before some wealthy friend; they'd help you but they've spent their jack for camisoles and bric-a-brac. The only chance to make that deal is at the bank; they hear your spiel and pave, the way with gold in stacks, for you to pay an in come tax. When some subscription project lags, committees call on "rroney bags;" they smoke his 25c cigars, attend conventions in his cars and corkscrew ducats from his vault to cure the lame, the blind and halt. In times, however, vou will learnthnt even banking worms will turn, and there's no penace that compares with bearding bankers in their lairs. You seek their den with raltermg step without your usual nerve and pep and meekly stammer that you've "got some money coming but your not at present fixed to meet that note, you'd like" the words won't pass your throat. The banker lays his pen aside and says: "Well, Bill, we'll let it ride." Outside the bank you fairly dance and go and buy your kids some pant3 and several books about the yaks and get your wife a bran-new axe. That chap in there behind the bars helps head off half your familv jars; Oh, when I leave this earthly sphere I hope some banker will be near to supplement my stringy roll in case I can't pay Charon's toll. THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES President Harding has gone on 'record as a man absolutely capable of fearlessly meeting an emergency when one arises. Regardless of wUai might be one's opinion upon the sol dier bonus bill that has so long stirred congress, it must be admitted that President Harding was master of the situation in refusins to support the bonus measure during this election year when the vote of so many con gressmen in his own party hangs in the balance and the organized soldier vote of the country practically holds the balance of power. People pre dicted that Harding would be com pelled to vote for the bonus because of pressure from candidates. But be I has weighed the question carefully land has rendered his decision accord i ing to his best judgment. Of course there will be diffirecces I of opinion as to the wisdom of his veto but there should be no difference of I opinion as to his statesmanship in this j critical hour. THE ARISTOCRATIC PLASTERER Speaking of wages, how would you like to be the plasterer? One of Chicago's largest contractors says: "A"plasterer is entitled to ?44 a week under the Lanclis award. On one house I am building in th esuburgs, a plasterer receives $12 a day as regular wages and $6 a day overtime, or $S0 for five days, excluding Saturday. For Saturday he receives ,.G for his regular morning's work and $12 Joi the afternoon, which is overtime. This gives him $108 for six days' work. Some plasterers work Sundays and for eight hours overtime receive 824 additional or a total for the seven day week of $132. In 1917 It cost ap proximately $500 to plaster an average house. Now it costs $2200." In other words, it costs almost as much to plaster a house today as it did to build a substantial structure in 1917. If the average farmer makes so much , a month as the Chicago plasterer does ,a week, he is apt to be pretty well : satisfied. And he doesn't call eight 'hours a day e.ther 'Washington News Letter.
