Let's see, where was I? Oh, yeB, when the Platts were mar­ ried, it being that kind of a wedding, there was no chance>to send them a wedding gift aa i would have liked to do,, or tp have done, (whichever is proper, of grammatical, though I'm sure. I -can never tell which). But Mr, Platt Is one of the nicest men in the office, that is, he was before ,this happened. So I felt we ought to do something for him, just to show our good will-—and, anyhow, we’ve dug down for others we thought much, less of,-so why shouldn’t we for him? But the wedding was over,: without in­ vitations, or even a reception, and they were housekeeping before wo knew it. So what could we do? Well, just then Christmas came1 > along npt just then but two months after thewedding. They were mar­ ried October 29, so It wasn’t quite two months, but that’s c l o s e enough.’ When Christmas came .along, that Is, just . before it came along, I sug­ gested -that We, make up a purse and give them a sort of delayed wedding present, just to show our good will. Every­ body thought it .was a splendid idea, that is, of course, except Mr, Platt, whom, of course, I, didn't con- cult. So I got up a subscription paper and went to everybody in the office (except Mr; Platt, of course). I got $26.60, Including ten cents from the Janitor, who wasn’t expected to give anything hut wanted to give some; thing, which shown just how popular Mr. Platt was With everyone' In the building, when a janitor even would chip in. . Christman shopping in hard enough, goodness known, when yon do It for yourself; but when you .do it for •a stock company capitalized at $26,60, with 28 stockholders, with 28 different kinds of ideas and tastes, then Christ­ man shopping rises above a mere an­ noyance to the"dignity of a real trou­ ble. And that’s what I was up against. I thought it would-be nice to get an expression o f ,opinion. So I ■went around one morning and asked for ideas. But I couldn't get a word.-No­ body could think, of anything. I couldn’t myself. At noon I went out and- looked. I., walked miles. I priced, then I went, back to the office. You should have seen my desk. Honest, you would have thought some one had turned'in a gen­ eral alarml They couldn’t wait for me to get hack. There they were—28 of them, (that is, 27, or 28 with me) . They all laid suggestions, and they were all different. > The ’head book­ keeper thought an arm chair Would be nice; (He ’.stands up all day). The collec­ tor thought a rain- peat would he best, while Miss Jones suggested a dress pattern. They all said, of course, that they left it entirety to me; and then each Went aWay sadly, as much as to say that he'hoped I wouldn’t he so foolish' as to buy any of those other things that the others had’ pro­ posed, The next day I looked again, But elther-a thing was too expensive or I would have money left. It Is remark- a le how few things there are In the world you can. buy for $26.60, no more, no less. And then I saw It. It was In a de­ partment store, and marked down from $50 to $26.60! There It was, to a cent! A great, big, glittering, mag­ nificent Punch Bowl! Nobody had thought of that! But, to make s6ro, I sent the sales ticket with it and told the Platts they could exchange the punch bowl, if they wished, for something they liked better; ■ • And what do you suppose those Platts did? in January they traded in that mag­ nificent punch bowi for three tons of chat! ■' , (CopyrlghtrUiU Pawn Shop Bun by City, The Dutch pawn shop of Amster­ dam, known as Bank van Loefting, is under the control of the municipality, and is one of the oldest In the coun­ try, tip to 1616 the business Was leased by the city to a private com pany, biit as It refused to reduce Its interest on pawned articles the eity took over the business, and has man­ aged It ever since.

WANTS PEOPLETO GETTRUTH Ohio State Board of Commerce Seeks to Apprise Voter? of Real Meaning of Constitutional Convention Issues. Columbus, O.—(Special,)—Allen R, Foote, president of the Ohio State Board of Commerce, makes public a letter addressed to editors of Scripps* McRae newspapers in Ohio !p' which he. resents attacks made upon his or­ ganization. , President Foote spys he asked the fierlpps-Mnltne papers to publish his communication either as hews, or as advertising at regular -rates, which they have’ refused to do. The Scripps-MeRae papers in Ohio are the Akron Press, Cincinnati Post, the Cleveland Press, the Toledo News-Bee and the Columbus Citizen, all of which received a copy of this letter: ■■ . ■■’ ■ To the Editor: The Ohio State BSard of Commerce, its constitutional educational commit­ tee and iis individual members have been subjected to criticism and abuse by the papers of the Scrlpps-McRae .league.We have been patiently awaiting the Wind-up oil the false statements about the .board and. its work,- believ­ ing that sooner or later- even your bright imaginators would run out of material for tlio, fabrications you have been retailing lu the guise of-facts. The constitution' educational com­ mittee of the Ohio State Board of Commerce lias been assailed because It is making siu effort, to give to the people of Ohio discussions on hotlx sides of tho big questions that will enter.into the work of the coming constitutional convention.' The as­ saults-of the Scrlpps-McRae newapa- .pevo have been particularly vicious ibecnusc this committco has seen fit to discuss the initiative, the referen­ dum and tho recall cn their merits. ' You pretend to^advocate these three principles of government, but as a matter of fact that ndvpcacy has been altogether an. attack upon tho work of the Ohio State Board of Commerce. >mi take particular pleasure in charg­ ing that '‘big business,” the “ inter- estx" and “special privilege” are mas­ querading under the name of the Ohio State Board of Commerce. The fight on this organization is wholly on the ! 1 n that “ big business,” with “ bar­ ic v cf moa-'y,” is seeking to throttle the I ;t reiki of the people, when not a single n ensure advocated by this board can be shown to be a measure designed £>r tho special benefit of any interest. As a. matter of fact, the business men back of the Ohio State Board of Commerce -do not begin to constitute as menacing a “special privilege,” an dangerous an ‘Tubwest,” or,a- big a business ■ as your iofeign-ownOU newspaper trust, " ...The.Ohio State Board 'of Commerce is, conducting » publicity campaign iu which an short is being miple to tell the people, tho whole truth about the issues, involved.^In the constitutional convention campaign. IT IS NOT RE SORTING TO APPEALS TO THE PASSIONS OR PREJUDICES. It is not seeking to array one class of citi­ zens against.aqather. If the publicity matter sent out by this organization is effective then it must -be right, for the peoi'ile could not be fooled into accepting specious arguments. If tho publicity campnlgn is not effective then the people why are making a fight on the Ohio State Board Of Com­ merce have nothing to fear. But the truth told in tills education­ al campaign mutt be effective or the yellow press would give no heed to the campaign being carried on by this organization. I The attitude of Scrlpps-McRae pa­ pers is the best argument yet presented agninst the Initiative, the referendum and the recall, for these principles are not discussed on their me Its, but, abuse and prejudice arc depended upon as defenses. If. your campaign were a fair one this communication would uot be given to the public. If your newspapers were not attempting to .build up spntimont against the Ohio State Board of Commerce and were devoting veur efforts to a de­ fense of the Initiative, the referendum and the recall, no donbt the Bigelow- Single Tax-Intlatlve and Referendum propaganda would bo making better headway. With the Initiative and referendum, .papers of -the Scripp3-McRae type would try to get the approval or re­ jection of tho questions submitted by appealing to the prejudices and pas* tfens of the voters and not by appeal- big to ther intelligence—just as they are doing now In their fight on the Ohio State Board of Commerce. They lose sight of tho fact that the funda­ mental function of a constitution is to crystallize into concrete, form princi­ ples and policies concerning which the people are In general agreement, so ns to give stability to the state government and protect minorities against the ill-considered nctlou of n prejudiced majority guided by some Hidden popular Impulse. Any one who lms faith In popular government must believe that the people will •decide what is for tjii best imprests of all whenever fhev give careful, sober thought to public, questions on which they have to pais. But when they are guided by the dem­ agogue, the firebrand, the selfish an 1 frenzied leader, then it ts tliaf women are tarred nhd feathered, men an burned at Hie stake and tragedies oc­ cur like that nf. Newark. O No good cause need fear the order­ ly, thoughtful crowd, hut. the best cause must tremble before the haatj, thoughtless action of a misinform?,!, nr excited citizenry. The Ohio State Board of Commerce la not dominated by ” bfg business” or- “ selfish interests,” We enter a plea of guilty to the charge that w<* are dominated by “special privilege” —for the right to own property—-he t a home, a farm or a factory—-Is a BDECJAL PRIVILEGE, and the right :o vote Is a Special franchise. The Ohio Plate Board of Fommerco has not raised a “slush" .fund of 000, Whatever money is raised wPI mar* be »pnsfi fa an appeal to the Intelli­ gence of the peri l'1.and not to tnejr ami pashhum. »7e would like to raise $12."<.wW. to bo mod for educational purposes, Wo know how we can use it in ways that will b.* cortnip to benefit every citizen of the. state. We fcjvsG no desire to use it in any other way or for nny other purpose. We hope the people of the ptmo will nut «s 'Uposition to demonstrate tbe'ti-ruh fix-it money rprnt for correct education is put to its highest economic use, by supplying us with all tho funds required. When they have harm:! tho truth, if the ir'oy’ c? want the initiative, tho referendum, the recail or any of tho other propositions discussed, they aro entitled to them and as n law-abiding patriotic organisation tho Ohio Stato Board cf Contuse; eo. In the future, as in tho mist, will do what It can to make Ohio tho best Elate, In the union In which to earn a living, to own property and to Gperate a business. Yours respectfully'.
