IMPRESSING THE YOUNG IDEA. One of. the favorite paetlmes of presidential campaigns is to delve Into the early lives of aspiring candidates to reveal the homely virtues implanted in boyhood, through habits of democracy, industry and frugality. It is in this way that the politicians seek to Impress the electorate with the substantial ualltles of the nominees and to humanize them in popular estesm. It is doubtful, however, if many adults are swayed by this appeal. The country is so young. mo6t of cur ancestral trees so short and sturdy that most of our successful men can point with pride to having been forced to rough it at a tender age. But the "poor boy" argument does captivate and stimulate one great c'afss. The American boy will stand with eyes alight at hearing recounted the early xploits of great men. The early lives of the candidates will be paraded in full splendor during the coming months and of much banter and loud guffaws from the irreverent p&ragraphers. But the homely stories will be of infinite inspiration to millions of young Americans, in many of whom will be lighted the fires of ambition and resolve that may burn tbrightly for years to coma.

BITTER MEMORIES REMAIN. Those untouched by the war or its sentiments who thought that the bitterness of the strugfgle would be forgotten soon after the signing of the armisice and that the former belligerents would presently be associated as if nothing had happened, have been given something to think of by the storms of protest raised by entente sailers at the international seamen's conference at Genoa against admission of German seamen. It is declared that in the latter delegation are men who were connected with Germany's U-boat warfare, as defenders or propagandists for it, if not taking direct part in the operation of the submarines." The credentials committee is new considering the protests and the sentiment aroused practically guarantees that no one connected with the Uboat fiendishne3 in any form will be allowed to elt in the conference. It is a reminder that memories of atrocities go deep. Outraging every instinct' of manliness and humanity as they did, it is against nature that operators of German U-boats in the war should expect to be received in a fraternal spirit anywhere by the true sailor. It is well that such conduct is not forgotten. The everlasting condemnation of civilization on such things is one of the protestions against them.

ASSURANCES FROM MEXICO. Assurances by Provisional President Huerta that Mexico will construe the petroleum cdoe liberally and win assume all legally contracted debts are undoubtdly pleasing. It must be remembered, however, that Huerta is as yet merely an executive pro tempore and as such incapable of making serious commitments. The spirit of frank friendship manifested by the utterances of the Mexican leader may be significant. If this continues the policy of the new order scuth of the. Rio Grande, Americans will have great cause for gratification. Mexico is likely to continue our greatest riddle

for many years. The country cannot be made over In a day. It is Inconceivable that the plagues cf illiteracy and poverty can be eradicated in less than two generations. We may help, but most of the work must be done by Mexico herself. The one great hope of friends of Mexico In this country la that a way may be found fcr co-operation in building up te distraught republic. This must depend largely upon the attitude of the two governments. Huerta's announced 6tand la the first step in the right direction taken by Mexico.

SPENDING AS THEY EARN. The soviet government of Ruasla has put into practice many freakish Innovations, bo that anything undertaken no longer causes surprise. The latest experiment reported is that of Issuing currency notes good only for the month of issue, a different idea ia to cauae holders of the notes to spend their money from day to day and to make impossible any accumulation for the future. If such is the principle on which the government Is acting It should be successful. Spend today, let the morrow take care of itself, i the plan on which many individuals act, but such never become of great importance in the world. Primitive races that bad not developed to the point where they realized the value of storing for the future followed that plan. They gorged themselves with food was plentiful and starved when it was scarce because they either had not learned to save in time., of plenty, for periods of scarcity or had no facilities for storage. If the accumulation of money is forbidden as a means to prevent the acquirement of wealth the laying away of a surplus of goods would logically come under the same ban, for the products of the soli, the output of the mills and mines constitute wealth, while currency is merely a medium of exchange. If the soviet government wishes to bar absolutely the accumulation of wealth it would be necessary to cease producing more than is consumed from month to month. Applying the plan to currency alone will not fulfill the design. By means of barter one may accumulate wealth without the use of currency at all. Spending as they go and consuming as fast as they produce will not restore Russia to a condiiton of prosperity. The Bolshevik leaders in their ecorts to establish a purely social state, if such really Is their purpose, evidently have net advanced to the primary grade in the principles of economy.

FORGET ABOUT THE YESTERDAYS. We hear a great deal of lamenting over inherited traits, says Roger Babson. Much of the blame for our bad habits is shifted to the shoulders of some forefather. It la true we do Inherit certain characteristics and tendencies. It is perfectly absurd to aesutne that they are to blame for all our shortcomings, and that we must be a slave to them. Tou are absolute master of your own fate. No hereditary taint can have any hold upon you if you decide otherwise. You don't have to b the slave of something undesirable Just because someone else has been. Stop blaming dead people for your own mistakes. Start anew with the firm resolve that you will be stronger than any inherited instinct. Throw away old hahlta and desires. Form new desires new habits. Get a new start and think new thoughts. Listen to the warnings of the higher selt. Tomorrow will shape themselves more easily if today is well lived. Be good, and the tendency will grow until you are again the slave of a habit, for which you can thank yourself the habit of goodness.

VOICE OK THE PEOPLE TUB PACKERS SIDE Editor The Times. Tub Times of July 13th has an editorial under the title, "Meat Trices." This editorial complains that prices of meats have risen In spite of a smaller consumption, and that the only remedy t-s a strike against the eating of meat. This editorial assumes that the packers are responsible for high meat prices by referring to them as "the richest men on earth." In complaining about the hlgrh price of meats, the writer of this editorial does not seem to realize that since the. year before the war mf-ats have not gone up as much as the prices of commodities in general, and that within the past twelve months, the price ot meats, at wholesale, have dropped substantially, whereas the average price of all commodities has risen. As for the alleged reduction of meat consumption, the truth Is that up through 1919 the oonspumtlon of meat has been steadily increasing since 191i. It Is true that meat consumption has fallen off slightly the past few months because' of a. lessened supply of live animals, but the receipts ot live animals for the first six months of 1920 show a decline of only S per cent, as compared with recipt for the urn period, 1919, This editorial also overlooks the fact that the profit of the larjce packers, including the retuin from cured hides and other by-products, is only a fraction of a cent per pound n all meat sold. In view of this fact, tt is perfectly obvious that the packer is not responsible for high meat prices. It should also be realized that production costs on the farm have risen tremendously, so that many live stock producers have actually lost money. Furthermore, retail distribution costs, which are necessarily high, anyway; have Increased, and retailers have to get high prices for the choice cuts. In order to make up for .the losses oft less desirable cuts. The point Is that high meat profits are not caused by profits, but by Increased cents, and by other world conditions which affect the prloes of al lartlcles, Wa shall be glad to have rcn print this letter in your co lamas. Very truly yours. swimr & coitPAXT, Per L. D. WKT.T. Itanager, Commercial Research Department
