FRAIL INCOMES; OAKEN
MEN.
(The St Pan! Pi.n*er Press.
We recall a saying of an an
cient Briton—was it King Alfred?
—w ho declared that frail men live
in oaken houses and oaken men
live in frail houses. We cannot
hut connect that saying with the
letter of “I. II.” written to the
“11. t\ L. Editor” setting forth
how a family of three lived cheer
fully on his income of SOS a month
and laid away in the hank each
month sls of that sum! „•
What a nation of “oaken men”
this 1 nited Slates would he if ev
ery family were possessed by the
necessity of having two to one
hundred times that amount “to
keep up appearances.” And what
an insipid nation of frail men and
moral degenerates it would be
come it all its qualities of thrift
and cheerfulness and self-restraint
were to he exchanged for a capa
city merely to spend more andto
become hitter, avaricious and vin
dictive if more were not at hand
to he spent.
It is not that we would advise
lamblike consent to all the injus
tices which an undisputed com
mercial system might impose upon
the poor. Tt is merely that we ad
mire the sheer pluck of living
within a pathetically restricted in
come in cheer and in hope, and in
laying away for future prospects
a neat little sum out of an income
which it would pinch the souls of
us to live on and not run behind
without saving a penny.
In just that one thing the
American* people—such of them as
do not regularly lay by a certain
share of their income—are making
a mistake which will ride with
them to their fall. It is the vicious
weakness of some families in
spending every dollar of their in
come, by multiplying their wants
and raising their standard of liv
ing to whatever limit that income

may be increased, that right now
is playing hob with prices and the
generel economic condition of the
country.
And so, beyond our power of
expression, we admire 1 lie family
whose members find help in lov
ing each other ‘‘good and strong,”
who are ‘‘filled with happiness”
at the prospect of owning land
and becoming independent on
savings of sls a month and who,
in the same period, keep body and
soul together on an expenditure
of SSO. Truly it takes oaken men
to live within frail incomes, and
many milksops are doing terrible
things to oaken incomes.
17 REPUBLICANS WITH DEM
OCRATS AGAINST CHANGES.
Treaty Advocates Elated By Re
sult.
Washington. October 2.—At
last reaching the stage of action
in its consideration of the peace
treaty, the senate swept aside in
quick succession today thirty-six
of the forty-five amendments
which had been written into the
document by the foreign relations
committee.
The smallest majority recorded
against any of the committee pro
posals was fifteen and the largest
was twenty-eight. All of the
amendments considered had been
introduced by Senator Fall, re
publican. Now Mexico, and were
designed to curtail American par
ticipation in European settle
ments resulting from the war.
Of the nine amendments yet to
be acted on. six relate to the
Shantung section, two propose to
equalize voting power in the lea
gue of nations, and one would
limit American representation on
the reparations commission. In
the absence of a definite agree
ment for disposition of these pro
posals. senate leaders thought to
night that the debate might run
on for several days before another
roll call is taken. f
