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.

Just recently Editor Read gave Ashland folks

good community; that we do work well to­

In other words, Mr. Read credits Ashland with
