THE LARGER VIEW The reason why many towns do not go ahead fast is very much the same as why the majority of people achieve no great success. Most people grab the pennies of today, and disregard the dollars of tomorrow. In the same way communities fail to take the larger view, and do not build for the future. The majority of young men would rather quit school and go to work for a dollar a day, and continue all their lives on small pay, than go to college and technical schools and tit themselves to earn large salaries at some time in the future. The disposition of the public in making purchases is much the same. People will buy in distant cities and rival places nearby, merely because they think some article is a few cents cheaper. By so doing, they help build up some place in which they have no stake and no interest. In nine cases out of ten the outside purchase is not any cheaper. The purchase is made by mail and can't be examined, or it is made hurriedly, without good advice from a friendly salesman. You can't get something for nothing. If a person pays a low price he is probably getting second quality goods, which he could have bought for the same price at home. If the people of this town should stand loyally by our own home enterprises and make it a principle co buy at home whenever possible, there

■would be a new growth of prosperity here. The larger sums of money in circulation here would mean more stores, more people employed, more money paid in taxes, better public improvements. Any one owning any property or business here would see that property or business advance in value. There would be more chances here for young people and more would be paid in salaries and wages. Why not take the larger view, and give more thought to the wisdom of buying at home and building up our own town. —Journal-Gazette. TWO REPORTS! The following is from the Saturday Herald and shows how they expected the registration would be a failure, and how anxious they were to charge it up to the democratic bosses: In the city of Decatur little interest seems to be manifested and at 2 o’clock this afternoon less than half of the vote of the city had been registered.

persons making a special effort in Decatur arc some of the candidates and a few of the bosses, who can always bo depended uponn to be on hand when anything pertaining to an election la on hand. It was particularly noticeable that the voters regarded as doubtful or indifferent about elections were being looked after closely and persuaded where possible to register today. And this from Monday’s Herald in I which the bossism suddenly changed to an “interest of the voters.” Isn’t it queer how that paper advertised as the one which “tells nothing but the truth” can juggle things at times? Read their version of the registration: The first registration day for 1914 showed a big interest in the approaching election to be held in November. In all the thirty-three precincts of the county registrations were held and in each one a good per cent of the vote was polled. So far no one has been able to discover just where that monster meeting of the republicans was held last week. Still is must be true for the Herald which advertises, “tell nothing but the truth" told all about it except where it was held. A man in Philadelphia was arrested for failing to support his wife and three children, and in defense of his neglect he pleaded that the tariff has cut down work so triat he can not earn more than $7 a week. The wife answers to this: William can’t lay this on the tariff —the trouble lies with him.” He was never home at nights, squandered his money and neglected his children. The court ordered him to pay his wife SB. a week for the support of the family.—Ohio State Journal. ™ The smoothness with which our financial system is being adjusted to meet emergencies by the execution oi a complete, well-thought-out plan, and the difficulties presented at this moment by the absence of a merchant marine, both show the wisdom of foresight and prompt action on puolie questions. When the war came it found us prepared on the financial side. We had grappled with that problem and settled it. We had an emergency currency law that served to bridge over the gap efficiently, an.l we had a well-thought-out and modern banking and currency system capable of being put into operation in a comparatively brief time. The result has been satisfactory in the extreme. The financial waters in this country have been, comparatively speaking, untroubled. With the organization of the complete system, begun yesterday by the organization of the Federal Reserve Board, we shall have a plan in operation that will protect us during the conflict and for a long time afterward. —Chicago Herald.
