À sasasssss THE DAILY TIDINGS EDITORIAL and FEATURE PAGE ASH LAND D A IL Y W. H. PERKINS, C. J . R E A D , MANAGING EDITOR ESTABLISHED IN 1876 T ID IN G S By W illiams OUT OUR WAY GÖT’OPF PW rtO65 UCWT AWAWEA1WK.R ri Educating The Voter The editor of the Toledo City Journal, the “ house organ” of Toledo’s city government, is per- .plexed over the failure .of citicens to take an inter est in local affairs. “ Wonder the indifference of the voting population is due to ignorance or to dis gust with conditions,” he writes, Vor for other reasons, is a matter of conjecture.” He conjectures that ignorance is a large factor and proposes a campaign to educate adults in civio matters. For some time the importance of educa tion has been stressed and the schools in all large cities have attempted to interest children, not only in the general principles of civil government, but in local governmental problems and current events, It remains true, however, that a very large stra tum of the voting population is but little influenced by what they were taught in school or by what their children are learning. Night classes for adults are worth while hot they, too, reach but . a small part of the people. The spokesman for the city government of Toledo proposes to instruct men and women through the organisation of a bureau whioh will provide speakers to give talks oh city governmental affairs before the various meetings in which citizens con gregate. “ Such a procedure might arouse on the part of many thousands an appreciation of what the government is doing,” he says. The experiment would be interesting. One thing is certain, if the people of Toledo didn’t like it they will turn out at the next election and chastise the officials responsible. One sure way to get the voters out is for the government to start something of whioh many people do not approve. Thrift Again Announcements which have toouFoomin^ out in recent weeks concerning thrift work among the employes of business concerns has again demon strated the fact that thrift cannot be made a matter of successful compulsion. To be thrifty you must have a real desire to get ahead for thrift fundamentally is a matter at titude. The saving of money, the elimination of idle ness, the development of efficiency all are matters which must* depend for their success on the right viewpoint of the individual. Before a man practices thrift he must have an understanding of all th^t it involves. He must have a n . appreciation of its benefits as compared with the sacrifices involved. He must be aware of all that it means in the development in his character. He must have a correct perspective. Until such a condition has been reached every effort to compel him to follow these practices will only arouse his antagonism. It is true, of course, that an employer can cojn- pel those who work under him to save a certain portiqn of their earnings. In some isolated oases individuals may through this method he started on the right roam. But actual experience along these lines has shown that they arouse resentment and prejudice and that infinitely more horm than good is done. Moreover the chief benefit of thrift, namely the development of personal discipline, will have 1-Kicn lost» * Teach thrift. Preach thrift. Inspire thrift. But do not try to compel it. Something for Nothing? The United States patent office reports that applications still are received from time to time for patents on “ perpetual motion” devioes. The number of such applications received since the establish ment of the patent office runs into the thousands». Doubtless at this moment there are soores, per haps hundreds, of would-be inventors who have theories for the achievement of perpetual motion and cherish the vain hope that soon their revolu tionary invention will ho perfected. And only to learn in the end of the inevitable truth that never yet has it been possible to get something for noth ing. ' And the lesson runs out beyond the uses of mechanics and on through all the relationship of life. There is no way of heating the game. The gambler thinks to get something for nothing, but in the end the gambler always pays. Had Nero owned a radio it would have saved him a lot of fiddling while Homo was burning. But to most of us who own one, the only thing it saves is tto trouble of gpoing to tod before the midnight frolics come on. r tì*n«R*R-*ì ’N O 'A II ' V A MOO W H A N E W S EDITOR XVB-TAXEM etUCR IR SS THAU "TW ì S Ì er P unched w r oleate « COMB A n f t r f ajfcaaeReo -f' mv hobs t F rom TH’ cook Ù DANW aiF I DiDWr Some of the wets don't see how anybody can live in a country where a sick man to allowed oply one pint of med icinal whisky every ten days. —Baker Herald. \ Today was the eighth day. end this afternoon the sun broke through the clouds end filled the lend with sunshine far about go minutes of sunshine, in IOS hours.
