THE WHOLESOME LESSONS OF THRIFT WEEK The Statesman is pleased to republish below an editorial from the Portland Evening Telegram, because it believes profoundly in the sentiments which this editorial expresses: ! "The only way to stop the useless expenditure of money is to stop it. A campaign of education in thrift is on this week all over the United States, under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. Its purpose is to show. concretely how to live decently and still lay by something jor me umc wnen me capacity to earn a living nas passed. "This campaign is overdue. . "Too many men and woman have been in a frenzy of extrava gance the past year ; unfortunately, they have many imitators. A few people have entirely too much money for their own good and many who made fortunes during the war have been spending it like the proverbial drunken sailor. Their imitators, lacking financial reserve arid depending exclusively on their incomes, are committing financial suicide. Except to those of large and fixed incomes the extravagant spending of money is tremendously demoralizing. "This week's campaign is not going to reform the United States by next Saturday night, but it will set thousands of people who have been reckless with their money to thinking. Its tendency will be to eheck at least to some slight degree the growing habit of extrava- gance. It will influence a small fraction of the people, who have not acquired the habit to begin to save on a rational plan. Practical, safe memoas are suggested, applicable to all wage earners. , "If only a start is made in the right' direction the campaign will be worth the effort. The slogan is f Get the habit of savin.' Once formed it will endure. For most of the people on earth the only road to financial independence in old age is through the habit of saving."

IS IT SOLEMN BUXK? The American Relief Commission is still quietly pursuing the even tenor of its way. i Herbert Hoover, a Salem boy, and yet a member of the little Quaker church out in Highland Addition to Salem, is still at the head of the greatest charity the world has ever seen. Today three millions . of the tinder fed and under nourished" chil dren of Europe are receiving their daily extra meal. "With practical common sense,' the American Relief Commission is guarded against abuse by medical certification of, "under nourished;' the children are discharged when restored to normal health, and new ones taken in their place. i . , -;'Outfita :of clothing for Europe, compactly packed, in the most practical manner cloth sufficient to make a dress or snit, in the style Or custom of the country, shoes, stockings, needles, thread, and but tons, are protecting against the cold, this winter, 1,200,000 destitute children, who bless America for it. Over the battle fields of France the American array, with final ana decisive vaior, wrote hJgh the name of America in letters of glory ceross the sky. So, too, this practical American service to humanity, nuranu.iereaon a gigantie scale with consummate ability, has stamped also in glorious human service the name of America over the firesides of the humble homes of Eurone. .

Norman Hapgood was appointed American ambassador to Denmark He is represented as saying that be welcomed that appointment because it would give him an opportunity to present the soviet government of Russia in its true light in other words, because his appointment wonld enable him to whitewash the soviet government of Russia. He bad distinguished precedents for such an ambition. Mr. Bullitt and Mr. Steffens had received somewhat similar appointments and they had' wielded the whitewash brush with sest and dispatch. Why should nbt he do the same? i ' Now Mr. Hapgood was no un known quantity, as a newspaper editor he has been before the' coun try for many years. His ultra-radicalism is a matter of common knowl edge. No one familiar with his ca reer would hesitate for a moment to say that Mr. Hapgood has the sort of. mind that woud find itself In tolerant sympathy with Bolshevism. But none the less he is appointed as American ambassador to .Europe. Who advised the president to make this appointment, an appointment so shocking that the senate refused to ratify it? Must we actually be forced to the conclusion that a vio lent and revolutionary radicalism is becoming the' sine qua non to high governmental office? It would al most seem so. 'But at least let us be made aware of that fact. Let there be an end to the solemn game of bunk. Let us cease to be hood winked by theatrical and enormous ly costly shipments of a few score of friendless alien anarchists while at the same time the great cause of anarchy is being sedulously fos tered and recruited in high places. Sydney Coryin in the Argonaut, vertising bureau would put it: "What's the use of all this publicity? Why not make it count?" For instance., the women are vot ing this year and here is a name that is a household word. What would "not Wood. Lowden, Harding or any of the dozen or more active or receptive candidates give to be as well and favorably known to the women of America as is this man Hoover? But Hoover is hiding out from It all and declares that be wants rest and private life.- Possibly these are not easy to obtain when' one's tal ents and capacities are known to so great a number. Even now there are those who are inquiring concern ing Hoover's attitude and opinions on questions other than those with which bis name has been associated. It is claimed by his friends that Hoover Is a Progressive Republican. At any rate, he is not a rigid partI- san and. like Pershing, has been claimed by both parties. Probably be is an international American, If Hiram Johnson can conceive of any such animal. Hoover was asked his views on the collection of Socialistic and anarchistic theories that were permitted to run wild in this coun try and to his friend. Julius Barnes, bead of the government grain cor poration, be made this statement: "All of these forms of socialism are based on one primary conception and that is that the productivity of the human being can be maintained under the impulse of altruism and that the selection of the particular human for bis most productive per formance can be made by some su perimposed bureaucracy. This Is wholly erroneous to start with. My emphatic conclusion from all these observations is that socialism as a philosophy of human application Is bankrupt." Herbert is firing over the heads of most people. He speaks more like a college professor than Wood row Wilson ever did. but Hoover Is right. What he means Is that both the boudoir Bolshevik and the stock yards anarchist are all to the bunk and that you can't build a steam en gine wlth-a dream book. THE MERRY MUSE. Investigation a la Mode.

He is wrong. It is not extravagant to say that, despite the destructive war just waged and tho topsy-turvydom produced In some quarters, this is the most useful age the world has seen. Free education, great Inven- 4ions, women's clubs, better wages, improved housing and a thousand otner agencies have combined to make It so. Those who come after us and who will be able, as it were, to stand oft and view this age in comparison with those that have rone before will be unable to reach any other conclusion. They will have to admit that the period which gave the world the airplane, wireless telegraphy, the phonograph and the moving picture was one of the most practical, progressive and useful in the history of mankind. and stimulate them to better work. Gradually the Idea is being extend ed Into other departments than sales manship, for It is realised that a big business is like a machine and there are parts that do not show that are as material to tne operation as ine Impressive flywheel. In almost every line of commerce and industry, the relation between employer and em ployed is Improving to the benefit of tta'j employee.' The feeling obtains that a real partnership exists. Working conditions are vastly im proving. Light and ease are taking the pi act of darkness and discomfort. Really there Is little for the worm of unrest to feed upon. Read the volumes of Charles. Dickens and Charles Reade, and then compare with the conditions under which men may live, move and have their being today. It is a time to give thanks instead of going about railing and raging at all things.

' Senator John Sharp Williams is not particularly impressed with his own grandeur and Importance and in that respect is in marked contrast with some of bis colleagues. He says the senate trifles with trifles and is Impoverished in the face of big things. He says that he is Inclined to sup port the contention of Benjamin Franklin that the senate Is as use less as a fifth wheel to a wagon. It Is certain that the senatorial wrangling and delay over the peace covenant has brought to a great many minds the reluctant admission that the country would be the bet ter off without its greatest debating club. STUDENTS- WANT ACTION. The vote taken In American col leges upon the league of nations' covenant shows an overwhelming majority of the students of history to be In favor of American partici pation in the world league. There are not 10 per cent of them with the bitter-enders like Senators John son. Borah and Reed. Perhaps not more than a quarter of them are for the covenant without any Interpreta tions whatever, but the vast pre ponderance are for any compromise or reservation that will bring Amer- ic. into a working membership In WORRIES ENDED AT LAST iu league- 11 ids earnest possioie moment. It is action, not argument. or delay that they want. The tem per of the college students of Ameri ca may fairly be Uken as that of I the homes and families of the na tion. It would at least be safe for the politicians to accept this Judg ment and behave accordingly. No one can doubt that the results of a general referendum would be the same. The point Is that the people are in favor of the thing, whether it is a compromise or an unbreakable presidential will that first brings about the American ratification of the covenant. Nothing more can be said In argument and it Is now the experiment that they demand.
