THE "WHITE COLLAR' POOR. A. bulletin just issued by the United States fle;ri;tment of labor reveals that the average union wage scales ier hoir in the general trades of 1919 were 5 r per tent higher than in 1 9 1 :. : IT per cent higher than in IMS and 7 2 per cent higher than in 1907. The percentage is based upon minimum rates ad it is pointed nut that "ilic averae; wage received bv union men to - 5vPS.f..- or los cxtmt exceeds the prevailing union rate." The statistics are compiled from a review of v?ges in the bakery, building, stone, metal, mill. wood, vuife and printing trades, chauffeurs, teamsters, freight handlers, laundry workers, theater hands and waiters. n some other lin-s of production the wage advances nave been much greater. Such a review must be highly gratifying to art ians Hut there is one group of the citizenry to whmA i' brings no comparable pleasure. The "white collar poor " will be led merely to consider the ironry of their !o;. They are the 4,00".00rt workers in clerical occupations and in professional services clorks. salespeople. vokkeep?rs and smaller retailer. The " new poor" they are called by some. And. in lead, they are. They are the erstwhile "middle class." so called becaused they work- with their brains rather than with their hands, and once aspired to property itid tc the bettor things in life. That was in the days before the high cost of existence swept ove- ,ha world, rc-cause in general they had maintained a higner standard of living than the craftsmen, the "middle class" folk? were the first to feel the pinch of cheapened money. They have been last to get relief. A great deal is being said these days about the demands and needs of the "workers." meaning the Miiotlzed craftsmen. But only here and there is a v if raised for those who need it most. IMPROVING POLITICS. You may set it down as a rule that where a clique "! clan of people are violently active for the nomination of a particular man for office, they have a personal object in view. They want something to say about the offices he has to give out . Tossibly they are after some o? them for themselves. There are no doubt exceptions to this rule, but one does not. often meet with M em. The idea that a man is insistent upon a nomina-

tivn for the public good is about worn out. When we s-e a lot of gangsters devoted to a candidate, one would

HL1. .... '31 ... . .' . naturally prefer some other candidate. Oh, if we could get more public spirit into our politics! Oh. if every Republican and Democrat would nee that, the favored onevt of their own parties were put forward as the

party champions, we would have a new birih of free-j

doni in this land! It is not too mudi to expect it before many years roll around. Already there appears a courage and independence in political duty that will Insist upon the best and will positively refuse to have anything to do with the worst, whatever party name it will bear. . WHERE WHITE PAPER WENT. According to charges; made by Senator Sherman of Illinois the principal culprit in the waste of good white print paper is the government itself.- The senator wont so far as to intimate broadly that much

of the waste was indulged in for personal and not t

public reasons. He said this of Mr. MeAdoo's policy while that gentleman was Director General of Railways: "Tons of railway stationery were scattered over the United States and our territorial possessions promoting his publicity when it was knwn. or at" least thought, that he was a candidate for president." Mr. Sherman cites as an instance of this extravagance and misuse of white paper that one millicn copies of an address delivered by Mr. McAdoo at Altooni. Pa., in Sept.. 191 S. were printed by the Railroad Administration and sent thiough iie mails without payment of postage, of course. With many newspapers in smaller communities ihreatened with extinction because of paper shortage

and with the government waging war against publications because of the second class mail rate, the printing and free distribution of one million copies of an office holder's speech takes on double significance. It would seem that the government wishes the public to regard the publication of a newspaper and its distribution under paid postage as something less worthy of consideration than the profitless dissemination of personal political propaganda. The hitter concerned the ambitions of one man. The newspaper is a legitimate enterprise on which the livelihood of great numbers of persons is dependent. The public can

! maKe up its own verdict.

THOSE SHIPS AGAIN.

We aie amazed that the usually imperturbable LaPorta Herald should get so peeved because the United States wants to sell a hundred and twenty-five million dollars worth of ships for a fourth of that smcunt, but here it is: "It is surprising that the Democratic administration should bo charging the British corporation SI'S. 000. ni for only twenty-nine first-class German ships. Why not put them on a silver platter and hand them over to John Hull for keeping us from getting licked in the war. Kngland has been handed about everything else that was lying around loose, Including encugh land to start another empire, and she. probably needs these boats to, take care of her colonial trade. America, having acquired only the island of Yap. can get along with a steam lug or perhaps a good row boat or two. The Yapites. or Yaps, never will know the difference. Kvidently the administration thought the Yaps here at home were the same way."

TO ABOLISH HOUSING CORPORATE. The senate has passed the bill introduced by Mr. Fernald of Maine abolishing the Federal Housing Corporation and transferring its jurisdiction to the treas-

j ury department after June "0th, next. The corporation

has been the object of violent criticism in both the senate and bouse on numerous occasions on account of the alleged wasteful way in which its buildings were constructed and managed. Under the treasury department its affairs will be administrate. by men long ac-

i customed to the maintenance of postofffces and other

Federal buildings in all parts of the country.

Cheney Tone Adjuster The Cheney will play a lullaby as sort as a. whisper or fill a large hall with a rollicking dance. Twelve distinct gradations of tone, logically controlled at the source. Tones always crystal clear,sweet and pure. "The Lovcfr You Play It, The Sweeter It Grows."

Tone, Quality and Technique

A virtuoso could scarcely display his art with an ordinary violin or piano. Perfect technique alone does not make a master. So with phonograph records. It is easy to play them but the Cheney, like a Stradivarius violin, gives renditions new beauty. Its rich, majestic tones are unrivalled. Acoustic principles, never applied before to phonographs, have set The Cheney unquestionably in a class apart. CHENEY TALKING MACHINE COMPANY
