As the people complain ibcut growing Ui burdens they are s'.owly coming to a realization of the fact that the load they are carrying is largely a result of their own acts. Taut is they have been Tilling to ai1Vt without counting the cost in ad vance, every new-fangled proposed idea relative to city, county or state government or our system of public ed ucation. The public has a right to demand that candidates for public office be qual ified for the positions they are to fill and they have a right to demand bus iness administration of public affairs. It is unfair, however, to elect a man to office on an economy and business platform and in the same election vote for the passage of various measures which add mi. lions to the tax burden of the sute. If the people do this they have but themselves to blame when the tai collector comes around. As the family keeps within its in come, prospers and produces good cit izens as a result of an example set by the father and mother in the daily life of the family, so will the state grow and develop and keep its tax require ments reasonable in proportion to the thought and intelligence manifested by the members of this great collective family, namely its citizens. Public officials are merely the hired employes of the people. The average employe will furnish good or bad ser vice according to the example set him by his employers. Go to the poles and vote as carefully on public affairs as you would on mat ters affecting your own famliy life. Do not vote to expend public funds and then kick at paying the tax bill. Such a course is as foolish as to contract family bills and complain at the collec tor for insisting on payment Here is the first step the people must take in any program of economy and business management in public expendi tures. The Manufacturer. NUKMAL HISTORY IN ADVERTISING. Historians who study newspapers to lea" the habits and customs of peop'es say they gsin more information from ; advr rtisements than from news ac courrs and that the information im parted in advertisements is mope ac curate. Advertisements tell their stor ies without the intrusion of the editor ial bice pencil. They show the. devel opment in transit, they disclose the ; charcirg conditions of the home, they : ar.nource the birth of scientific discov- ety and invention, they prove the worth of that which is true and unmercifully ' cxpo.-e the sham and the. fraud. They j ttll of our varying taste in dress, they ! show our belief in sanitation, they dis I close oar love of sport, describe our work they mark the change in the status of womanhood and youth, they visualize the moulding of our morals and our methods and present to us hu manity from the financier to the finale hopper. the newspaper subscriber who fails to read advertisements misses more than half the value of his favorite pub lication. Advertising is sews of the highest importance and the most reli able news presented to the people. Dur ing the war, when Michael Friedsara, the great New York merchant, was ap pointed to serve as Fair Price Commis sioner by the government, he was asked how the public could be best kept in formed as to honesty of prices. His reply was terse and true: "Let them read the newspaper advertisements.'' People used to wonder where all the pins went to, but now they wonder what becomes of the six million Fords which have been turned out, and all the tonsils that have been removed. MATCHES AND TOBACCO. The fire danger incident to the use of matches and tobacco, writes Secre tary of Agriculture Wallace, is usually given little consideration by the vast army of smokers. Statistics compiled by the National Board of Fire Underwriters show that the annual loss from fires caused by matches and burning tobacco in the United States reached the impressive total of more than $73,000,000 during the five-year period 1915 to 1919, inclu sive. To this total must be added a consid erable percentage of the unnecessary fire destruction in the forests of our country, where each year fires destroy or damage sufficient timber to build homes for the entire population of a city the size of Washington, New Or leans, Denver or San Francisco. Campers, hunters, fishermen and woods workers should read this and re solve that their carelessness will not contribCte to destructive forest fires. Now they are making a gun back east, to install at the Golden Gate near San Francisco that will shoot 120 miles. That is much like the one the darkey soldier said he saw over in France dur ing the war. He said if the gunner wanted to kill anybody ail he wanted to know was what their address was. COUNTRY TOWN OF TODAY. Time was when the evening closed in on the average little village out any where around the country like the com ing of sleep. The cool air blew clearly and the lights from the kerosene lamps in the windows were hardly more bright than the distant stars. The insects chirped shrilly in the fields and forest adioinine. the frogs in the old swim ming hole at the outskirts sang a glad chorus, the soft breezes whispered through the trees and far away over the meadow a cow mooed for its calf. That was all aome time ago. It is different now. Now with the evening hour the loose planks of the bridge rattle as the farm ers' motor ti-s come charting in at thirty miles an hour. The dust and the smoke of the Fords shut off the stargliht, but the red, white and blue electric signs of Bill's Bile Beans and Melodian Hall Jazz make a fair second edition of the Great White Way. There is no longer the smell of new-mown hav in the air, but instead the smell of consumed gasoline, peanuts, perfume and hot dog sandwiches. The song of the katydid is hushed by the stentorian tones of a politician running for otnee. the bong-bong of aSalvation Army bass drum on one corner and the oratory on another of the radical telling just how the Genoa and Hague conferences ought to have been run. The old time quiet country village is going th eway of many other noble traditions. Ouiet is old fashioned. It smacks of mournfulness and arguei want of enterprise and eet-up-and-git, a steady intercut in doing nothing at alL The auict country village win never oe quiet again aB long as farmer folks get tired of the quiet of the daytime, and there are flivvers that will carry the whole family Into town to meet other families to take in the movies, consume peanuts, devour the succulent hot-dog and send up gas smoke and dust to ob scure the blue canopy of the ailent heaven. And now it turns out that the coun try, especially in New York and other eastern centers, is flooded with millions of dollars worth of narcotics by a dope ring, and that some of our government efhcials are members of it, and have been swindling the government out of millions, to say nothing about the dam nable crime of supplying addicts with immense quantities of deadly drugs. It is hard to believe that men can sink so low in the scale of humanity as to do such things. Ten thousand tourists who loft New York in one day recently took along about J.VOiMHVH). And vet the oM coun try complains that the United States is doir.g nothing to relieve its financial digress. They charge an American six prices for everything over there, also. PHYSICAL FORCE METHODS DYING. The great coal strike and the threat ened general railroad strike are the last efforts to revive expiring physical force methods. The Klamath Falls sawmill strike and the Portland Longshoremen's strike are dying a natural death and 1922 will see death of strikes. Intelligence is taking the place of force, and strikes are going into the discard with militarism. The Manufacturer. It is no proof of a man's religion that he subscribes to the story of Jonah and the whale. A better test is if he sub scribes to the church budget and pays up. People are tumbling over each other to buy radio sets, but they dont seem to be buying any more garden tools than ever before. And why shouldn't Democracy look forward to 1924? It cant get a bit of satisfaction in looking back at 1920, The people who pay as they go may not go as fas as some others, but they always find it easier to get back home again. "He that refraineth his lips is wise," said Solomon. If he were here today he would merely say: "Don t butt in." ONE HUNDRED PER CENT AMER ICANISM. Pres censorship is unnecessary, so far as the rank and file of these papers is concerned, especially the 'small city dailies and country weeklies, who ever stand for truth and patriotism, as against socialistic exploitation. The country press is today in the forefront to combat and give pitiless publicity to the forces trying to under mine the Constitution of the United States and overthrow our government. History is full of warnings. People in ancient times said: "It can't happen." And the same thing was said in Russia but a few years ago. It can happen. Our entire social and commercial fabric is threatened, else the reports that filter through the press. from the depratment of justice the Nation's secret service and other sources, are not to be relied upon. It's through the "Country Press that public opinion is molded, and if too late it is discovered that certain inter ests have succeeded in getting control it will be due to indifferent support of the loyal and patriotic one hundred per cent American country press.
