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

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.

SIGHT TESTING

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

STUDENTS- WANT ACTION.
The vote taken In American col

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

the politicians to accept this Judg

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.
