Getting a Flying Start.
How often it is that one who face the neces
aity for undertaking tome task, whether it be
house cleaning, weeding a garden or writing an
editorial, is tempted to put it off because of not,
feeling in the mood. The time comes at lat
when the operation can no longer be avoided,
and usually, as one plunges into the details. what
teemed from a distance extremely distasteful and
onerous completely engrosses the attention and
the work may even seem pleasalit, o easily
doe it go.
Launching the lirt offensixe on a job
that has to be done often is the moat difficult

Some critics may reply that these outpourings
enly indicate that thc people have not learned to
save. They may point to the almost interminable
streams of motor cars tilled with pleasure riders
on a Sunday, to the comfortable and well dressed
appearance of so many of those on the streets
: nd in assemblages and berate this as extrava
gance. Yet one of the dangers of thr present
financial situation lies in undue frugality.
A Rood deal about the workings of economic
laws has ben impressed upon the people in the
hist year. For one thing it has been made ap
parent that a lessening of consumption results in
the curtailment of production and consequent jn
rmployment. The surest way to bring abojt
worse times w ould be for people to stop spending
r.nd to live through ,t!" winter as do thc bears,
on iheir accumulated fat.
Qtarity with its soup line, government con
ferences and official intervention can do little to
relieve the jobless compared with what could be
accomplished by renewed activity among those
who still have their purchasing power.
To say that freer spending by those who have
the means would encourage business and provide
work for the worklcss is not to be read as an
SfcrtTWWvitnt to extravagance, nor can it be used
j as justifying, those who by maintaining high
prices Save impeded trade. Where articles of a
"j permanent and substantial nature arc needed, to
do without,. when one can well afford to purchase
";.- them is noV a virtue, but only another blow at
' 1. the industrial system, more severe than that dealt
' . y any agitator. A certain amount of expenditure
on recreation is not to be criticized, but people
should hold in mind the fact that patronage of
r those lines of business which are really produc
tive is more widely brnelicial, not oiily to them
selves but to sound prosperity.

Redistribution of Population; '
Making allowance for obvious exaggeration,
the figures given out as to the number, of un
employed :n the,scveral large cities of the United
States indicate a condition that might have been
anticipated without more than the ordinary gift
of prescience. When the increasing hum of in- J
tlustry, incident to the war, lured away, from
rural vocations thousands of workmen, skilled
and unskilled, much comment was indulged as
to the shift of population. The war itself in
duced a considerable degree of change in resi
dence by draining workmen from interior to sea
board communities. Certain centers of indus
trial activity found life greatly stimulated, and
population unduly 'enlarged because of this.,
Now, the war is- over, the readjustment has
progressed far enough, to have some-effect in
the way of reducing employment by cutting off
thc extra jobs, and so there impends a rearrange
ment of population. Allow that five million men
are now idle, and give some consideration to
the fact that a considerable number of these be
long to - the permanently unemployed class,
which has been re-established in the United
States with the coming of peace, it is equally true
that a considerable number of jobs also are man
less.t These will attract away from the cities
the surplus of population which came with the
war, and which has held on and is now left
stranded by the receding "boom," and it is not
a dangerous venture to suggest that the census
of 1930 will show less of a dispatity between
rural and urban figures.
Workingmen have learned that thc big wages
offered by city jobs do not always compensate
for the cost of living, without regard to the in
conveniences. These are ready to go back to
the smaller town, where some of the attractions
of "life in a large city" are overcome by. re
liability of employment, and the opportunity for
enjoyment that 'does not hold so much of ex
citement, perhaps, but has in it' more of solid
comfort
A Child-Saving Experiment.
Is anything better possible? This ques
tion, applied to all human affairs, is the spur to
progress. What can a typical American com
munity do to increase the health and strength
of the next generation, is the question that is
cow asked by the National Child Health council.
The answer is to be sought in Richland county,
Ohio, and its town of Mansfield. This demon
stration will last five years and will deal with
children of all ages.
The Medical Record announces that Dr.
Walter H. Brown, j former hearth officer of
Bridgeport, Conn., now engaged with the com
mission for the prevention of tuberculosis in
' France, will take charge of the work in this rep
resentative Ohio community. County and state
efcers,busiaess men, physicians and parents
dcr before draw ing each breath it would be pos
sible to make very hard work of what ordinarily
is done without notice,
There are days when energy seems low, yet
the forces arc not absent but only hidden, and
can be brought forth by exercise of the will to
ward making a beginning on the work before
one. TI16 girl who complain all day long of
being tired and then goes to a ball and dances all
night is no different from many of those who
make fan of her. Europe marveled that Luther,
busied in travel and active labor, should have
found the time and energy to translate the
Bible. "Kurlla dies sine vcrsu," was his answer.
Not a day passed, wherever he was, that he did
not translate at least a verse, and this pertinac
ity brought him to thc end in good time.
In spite of the tendency to scoff at . the
maxims pf the old copy books, those who make
a sincere effort toward accomplishing one thing
or another are the ones who succeed. The great
men accomplished their aims by perseverance
i.nd the will power which enabled them to take
up one thing at a time and push it through. They
have thrown themselves heart and soul into their
tasks, striving much as the old Roman astrono
mer and writer of whom Cicero said that when
he sat down to write in the morning, he was sur
prised by the evening, and when he took up his
pen in the evening, was surprised by the appear
ance of the morning sun. AVhen one can dive
thus into his work and submerge, the time passu
so swiftly and pleasantly that the burden is not
felt.- ...... . 1
President as a Human Being.
While Americans are prone to discuss their
chief executive w ith unrestrained freedom, it is ad
mitted that behind all their critical comment, ad
verse or otherwise, lurks an unlimited interest
in and frequently admiration for the man who
occupies the White House. No matter what his
politics or personality, his triumphs or his mis
takes, he is the president of the United States,,
and usually he holds the unalloyed loyalty of all
the citizens because of the human qualities he
exhibits. . Beginning withWashington and com
ing down to Wilson, this has been true. Now
Warren C. Harding is showing those attributes
his countrymen are apt to expect in a president,
and is gaining in public stature as a result. '
One splendid result of this is the Zaccahea
correspondence, lately given out at the White
House. Discussing this the New York Times
says: .
The affair illustrates to a really striking de
gree the president's ability to get tilings done
without giving offense-;io anybody, and .to
; apply pressure without hurting anybody. There
was a chance, and some would have utilized
it, to expatiate on the hardships of raising a
big brood of children on $20 a week, and to
comment harshly on the paying of such a wage
to such a father. The president did neither of
those things. In his letter to Mr. Wanamaker
he admitted the inadequacy of his own knowl
edge for a judgment of the case, and certainly
achieved a very miracle in the way of moderate
statement when he wrote that "quite obviously
so large a family could readily accommodate
itself to a more liberal basis of income." Thus
approached, of course, Mr. Wanamaker investi
gated the matter with no sense of having been,
attacked, and was able easily to justify the
president's assumption that Zaccahea was suf
fering no wrong, that his merits were recog
nized, and that his pay would increase as soon
as his earning power increased.
Other things the president has done his letter
to the boys who sought a subscription to the
swimming hole fund; his assistance at the
launching of the little skiff for the son of Sena
tor Frelinghuysen; his daily contact with. visitors,
all indicate not only the' tactful thought of thc
man, but ' his consideration for everybody de
serving of consideration, no matter what his
walk. While he thus proves himself a regular
fellow, a human being, with none of the ele
ments of the demigod, he has shown with equal
force and power his capacity for dealing with
great questions of. national and international
policy. So far Warren G. Harding has disap
pointed those who hoped be would be a failure.
The musicians who carried banners in the
Labor day parade signifying that differences with
the theaters had been made up provided a praise
worthy example of bearing no grudge.
Those boy traffic cops who will attempt to
maintain safety zones about the schools will at
least grow up with a strong aversion to speed
ing and careless driving.
Skeptics are unpopular, not because they do
not have beliefs of their own," but because they
do not share our illusions.
Another great tenor has died, bnt so far the
celestial choir has not drafted any 'saxophone
artists. :.- '..''.,. - " , V '-

government ha no ouch constitu

this Is so. But. neverthele. the
people do. as a practical matter, look
to the government to alleviate their
troubles In periods of depression,
and the government which failed to
make an effort to help out would
last only so long a the next election.
It Is very Important for the nd
miniKtratlon to device the bent plan
it can find to tide the country over
the winter. We all hope the winter
will prove more of a scarecrow than
un actuality, so far as hardship la
concerned, but it I wise to make
ready for the actuality, nevertheless.
The administration would be negli
gent and inhumane not to do so. But
In the presidential efforts to avoid
unpleasantness the peola ought not
to get the idea that the administra
tion is in duty bound 10 go any
lengths to prevent hardship.
The present depression la due to
various natural and artificial causes,
for none of which the government is
responsible. The natural causes are
well known. The artlllclal causes lie
largely in the disinclination of some
of the labor bodies to go bncl; to
normalcy. The attitude of clinging
to war wages, or the neareet to war
wages obtainable, is handicapping
employers and throttling business.
Many employers are being put to it
to make the business wheel turn at
all, much less to make it turn faster.
Their resources can scarcely stand
the present strain.
There are two ways In which Ihe
canker can be gotten out ot he busi
ness system. One is by a gradual
wate reduction spread over a com
paratively long period of partial
business paralysis. The other is by
use of the knife. The knife may be
employed either by employers or by
labor itself. Labor can use the knife
either .by. clinging to- the present
costly (system and fofei greater
and greater numbers' of its own
forces Into? idleness or by co-operating
with capital in getting rid of the
present system quickly. If th first
method is used, we shall ' unques
tionably ace a serious time of it this
winter and the government must
keep awake to its responsibilities in
that respect.' But the responsibilities
of the government are limited to a
humanitarian effort only. The gov
ernment cannot be. responsible for a
depressed industrial situation which
it has " no constitutional power to
correct. Suoh correction must come,
in so far as it can come, from the
agreement of capital and, labor to
co-operate in fighting the causes of
depression. It is such an agreement
which the president will seek to
bring about

On a memorial park laid out
within the county of Todd, in Ken
tucky, the . gray' fragments- of the
confederate army will rally on June'
3, 1922, to see unveiled the 175-foot
cbclisk which is the last, offering of
the south to Jefferson Davis, . On
this site, 114 years ago,, was born
the confederacy, for here was born
the man who for 25 years before
the civil war and 25 years after It
maintained implacably the doctrine
of state rights, the principle of se
cession, the contention that the con
stitution is a voluntary compact of
sovereign states.'
It is a mystery of fato which
brought two Kentucky lads of simi
lar age, born 140 miles apart, to the
forefront in the most romantic of all
wars. It was a double mystery that
one course of life should lead Lin
coln forward as an apostle of na
tionalism and another course of life
made Davis the champion of state
rights. Yet from early manhood
Lincoln always saw the 'inlon above
all, and from early manhood Davis
cherished the state. He cherished
it to the point of sacrifice. When
his wounds and galantry in the Mex
ican war brought him an appoint
ment from President Polk as briga
dier general of volunteers, he re
fused, declaring that ' only a state
could make an officer of state volun- j
teers. . !
Wounds and galantry in the Mexi-
can , war! Who remembers that
Davis shed his blood for the na-1
tlon?- Who remembers, that , he
served in the' Black Hawk war, that
as secretary of war under .Pierce he
created a new artillery and a new
infantry?'. These-were national acts
and Davis desired no fame as a na
tionalist.- He chose his own field of
ervice for danger or : renown he
Was of the confederacy before It was
oorn and after it. was dead, and he
would now rather be dear to a rem
nant of gray veterans than com
mand the world' armies. ,

HE Mason & Hamlin is musically the most
beautiful piano the world has ever known
naturally it costs more to build such an in
strument than any other piano. But spread
the cost over the long years of service which
you may confidently expect of it and your invest

Yet above every consideration of cost is the supreme
satisfaction of owning thc piano which is the final
