In another and upon the credulous earlier age they could have made fortunes by pretending to have powers they did not possess, or on the other hand, they might being past masters of their art us rangicians, have been burned at the stake! But their magic was honest. It was pro- duced by sheer bard work allied to ability. Some of their illusions, took years to perfect. It reminds one of the story Whistler, who was once asked with in dignation if he charged two hundred neas for painting a picture that only occupied him a couple of days "No." he replied," but for the experience of a lifetime."

The bogus manager is a person the Guild and the Association desire to eliminate; and with this object in common they should be nhle to discover a way to com- pose other differences. I hear that it is probable that this will be done. THRIFT AMONG THE PEOPLE.

Many people harbour a vague belie that "thrift is declining virtue in this country, especially as regards the working classes. Fortunately, this is not true. Small savings in the post-war period ac cumulate at a much greater rate than they' in did in the years preceding the war. 1922 over 81 million pounds was paid into the Post Office Savings Bank in England and Wales; and at the end of that year

total aunt exceeding 244 million pounds was due to depositors. These figures are in striking contrast with those for 1909, when there was about 40 million pounds in savings, and 143 million in credits. To-day more than ten million people have accounts at the Bauk, which indicates with exceptional accuracy the extent of small savings,

Side by side with this notable record we have the fact that the sale of National Savings Certificates väries about a level of 590,000 in a week, and since this excel- lent form of investment for small sums was introduced the total number of certi

round figures.

What bearters the average Unionist elector in Mr. Churchill's re-appearance on the stage is the fact that he has been wise enough to see that there can only be one true dividing line politically for many years to come in British politics. In his view the antooth assurances that are constantly made that Mr. MacDonald and his colleagues in the Government represent the worst that is to be feared from Sociails are deceptive. Rightly or wrongly the belief is held very widely that what we have had since Labour has been in office-it has, of course, never been in power is merely a prologue to the full drama of disruption of established things which would inevitably follow if the Socialists were to be given a free hand. The Unionist Party offers the most power-beates sold has mounted to 700,000,000 in lul force against the men who imagine that in order to improve social conditions you must first destroy Society as it is. GOVERNMENT AND THE COTTON TRADE

Lancashire is keenly alive to the detri- ment that may be done to the interests of the cotton trade if the designs of the French Government are not countered in time. Under the Peace Treaty Alsace Lorraine has the privilege of sending cotton goods into Germany free of duty antil next January, and it is known that the French Government are trying to negotiate a Treaty that would give semi- permanence to the arrangement. Every. one conversant with trade matters is well aware that the privilege enjoyed by the French has operated to our disadvantage already, and it is very easy to perceive what would be the result if it were to be We should have factories stereotyped. erected in France for the German trade, because ese could be worked most ad vantageously under the protection of tariff in France and her colonies, while Lancashire goods would be penalised.

be quite clear that the old sterling quali From the foregoing it appears to me to tics of thrift have not deserted the British race. The figures are the more remarkable considering the difficulties there are for people of small means to have anything it these days of bigh prices for living and heavy taxation. However, there are the facts; and it is evident that the anti- revolutionary tendency of wage earning men and women who desire to be rel supporting and independent is revealed in these Egures about savings.
