It helps a lot to see some one who
has always been envied their riches
deprived of the very things they were
envied for- helps the poor devil who
wanted the things at d could never get
them, anyway.

It’s great to be poor these days! All
the conservation in the world cannot
deprive a man of what he actually
i eeds for sustenance and as that was
pll we got before the movement start
ed we are none the loser now. For
once a man can be thankful he is poor.

Now comes gasoline conservation.
No more joy rides. No more pleasure
trips. Nothing but actual necessity.
Yet there are thousands of acres of
oil bearing lands now tied up in the
conservation movements of the past,
which, if thrown open to exploitation,
would furnish enough oil and to spare
for the entire world. Conservation,
what crimes are not committed in thy
name!

It took the editor one hour and for
ty minutes to wade through his mail
yesterday morning.
Out of twenty-
seven letters opened twenty-five were
franked either by the war, navy or ag
ricultural departments, one by a con
gressman and one had a two cent
stamp on it. And twenty-six of the
total contained requests or matter to
be published gratis by the Herald. Did
we comply with all these requests in to-
to the Heraiii would this week contain
eight pages and not a line devoted to
local news. Yet congress is now in
the act of passing a law raising the
postal rates to accommodate all this
panhandling mutter. Selah!
