It' Mr. Hoover listens to Mr. Brisbane and takes two cents of the duty off Cuban sugar, what would be the defense, if any? Monday morning would be a fine time to start your Christmas shopping. It won't be long now and by thus getting a good start you will tiiyi the job more pleasant and much easier. A smooth guy down at Indianapolis rented a room tor five dollars, stole $125 worth ot' jewelry and vamoosed, proving that not all the easy money is on Wall street. The fight against the use of tobacco seems to be taking on new life and it is not impossible that it will gain such proportions that will cause the inveterate smoker to become alarmed during the course of the next few years. An absolute cure for rheumatism, a serum just discovered by scientists, is going to be a great boon to sufferers from that disease and a worry to the hot spring institutions which have had about the only relief heretofore. A Texas man had to roil a peanut eleven miles, pushing it with his nose or pay a hundred dollars as a result of losing an election bet. He thinks more of a hundred dollars and less of his nose than the average fellow, but thats not it, he did it in nine and a half days instead of eleven. ■L ■ " The official majority for Mr. Leslie was 44,658, which is sufficient of course for any purpose and looks substantial until compared with those of the others on the republican ticket. He ran from 100,000 to 250,000 behind tile rest of the hunch and a change of seven votes to a precinct would have elected Frank Dailey. The excuse offered by the jury in deciding the Colonel Stewart case, that a quorum of the senate committee was not present when the charges were agreed upon, sounds as though the defendant had been taking lessons from Governor Jackson. “'Lack of a quorum" must be a half brother to “statute of limitations.” Its not the amount you deposit each week in a Christmas club that counts, its the fact that you are saving some. If you can only start a ten-cent club, its worth doing. Os course its better if you can deposit a little more, say a quarter or a half or a dollar but the big idea is to start saving for the rainy day or for vacation time or for Christmas. It looks almost certain that if a three billion dollar fund is raised to stabilize industry and prevent business recessions, that those who can turn the faucet and hold the bucket beneath it, will get along alright. Perhaps sufficient will drip over to help out some. Better times will be at hand when the general country is prosperous on a sound basis rather than when it is forced but we favor the effort to try this reserve business. Let's do something. The national safety council is warning the people not to eat too much on Thanksgiving for fear of % /

Bosh, the average fellow has ? been worrying for a week or two how J ) he would get enough together so the ) family can “stuff” on the holiday which for generations has been set apart as the one day of the year when every one can eat without fear of inI digestion or any other ill effects. The only thing that will prevent carrying out the program is to keep the turkey and dressing away. The sugar factory campaign will close in about ten days, according to announcement. It has been a successful run but the season was not up to average. The rains were not distributed to the beat advantage for this or for most other crops or this would have been a banner production year. The plant is one of the best industries in the county and deserves support. What the plans for the next year we have not herad but whatever they are, based on the judgment of the able managers, will have the cooperation of our citizens, so far as is in their power. Senator T. A. Gottschalk of this county has been reappointed as a member of the budget committee for the coming legislature, one of the important jobs. Thurmau has served on the committee during the past three sessions and knows the business thoroughly. He is the veteran of the committee and his experience and judgment will prove most valuable. Aside from this honor Senator Gottschalk is one of the leaders on the floor of the senate and is listened to with the greatest respect by men of both parties. That he will continue his excellent record is not only the belief but the knowledge of those who ■ know his ability and his desire to serve his constituency and his state. It takes real troubles to worry President Coolidge but its eaid that he is having them now for he can’t figure what in the world he will do with all the gifts and knicknacks and whatnots that he has received while president. The list includes dogs and cats and other animals sufficient to start a menagerie, a million feet of fish lines, rugs and pots and pans and freaks. He can't give them to Mr. Hoover for the new president will probably receive just as many or more and he can't send them back for the secretaries have lost account of where they came from. If he moved them he would need several extra rooms for storage and why bother with them? You see it becomes a problem almost as difficult to solve as the tariff and farm relief. His experience as judge of the Juvenile court of the city of Norfolk, Virginia, has given Judge Herbert C. Cochran a very clearly defined idea ( of the causes of juvenile delinquency. This jurist has no finespun theories of sociological, physical and other causes of crime by boys and girls. . There are a good many cases, he ad- . mits, where physical defects which , can usually be corrected by treatment or operation are the underlying causes of trouble with the young, but in the main the responsibility rests upon the parents. Parental neglect that i leads to trouble for the boys and girls > is usually of the type that permits , youngsters to loiter in the streets ! after nightfall, that takes no account . of their associates and fails to super- . vise their habits at the formative P stage. Ethical or religious instruct tiou is usually lacking also, although s the judge dwells chiefly upon the negr lect that permits the child to wander r about the streets exposed to the con i tamination of casual associates and to the temptations he has not been taught to resist. Under such condis tlons it is, of course, necessary and o wise that there should be juvenile t courts before youthful offenders may

be tried. That these tribunals do a wonderful work in putting an early stop to criminal tendencies in the young is certified by more than one exhibit. Judge Cochran is authority for the statement that in his city, one of the world's greatest seaports, the number of felonies nas been reduced fifty per cent within five years. This remarkable showing in the face of a nation-wide crime wave the jurist ascribed to the tact that the influence , of the juvenile court has been to head off the development of youthful criminals. —a '■■■■ Q ' I —■— *****«*»*•*•« • BIG FEATURES * • OF RADIO * MONDAY’S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES WEAF —Network 9:30 pm.

That old system of voting for electors is as surely out of date as the lift to one room school house on the hill. Both have seen their day. it is absurd if not really ignorant to carry on this system of voting as they did in Colonial days, when as a nation our colonies extended from Maine to Georgia along the Atlantic coast. Then there was no great west extending to the Pacific no great northern and Southern cities or states. Just think of the expens? of these electors travelling from every state in the union to Washington IX C. Voting directly, ami not indirectly toour National oficers is the only hones! way. Before the adoption of the Constrlutin. Benjamin Franklin. Robert Morris and James Wilson opposed the system of voting for electors instead of a direct vote for President and VivePresident. and you may be sure that if Benjamin Franklin opposed it, that the system was wrong. But there were not men sufficient in number like Franklin, honest men cf vision so this system became a part of the Constitution of the U. C. A Progressive.
