Dumb Danger
~ Or. FRANK CRANE
(Copyrigbt. 1915. by Frank Crane)


have said that Business that is dumb
is dangerous. | will go farther. 1t is
dangerous because il is dumb.
When there is power it must exert
itself in some way. In man the normal
way is through art--letters, painting,
sculpture, music.
That is why art is the great civilizer.
1t furnishes an outlet for human energy,
and such an outlet, such a mode of ex-
preston. as conserves develops. idealizes
and improves the quality of that energy.
Without art energy manifests itself de-
atruetively, or at least coarsely.
The protane person uses oaths because
he cannot express his feelings in proper
words. If he knew the art Of speech he
wouldn't swear
What a man can utter in n word
dumb animal can utter only by biting,
bowling. butting, rending.
All power that is dumb is dangerous.
AZ least, we think so.
Let us take. for instance great pub
nc utility corporation. serving millions Of
people Il prime necessity Of communal
life. 1t goes along for years in prosper
l,y, and then. when it approaches the leg
iSlature for favor, or when in some
crisis il finds itself in a dispute where it
needs the support Of public opinion. II is
uddenly made aware that there exists
toward it among the people dull hostil-
ity.
It's directors get together and are apt
to eXclaim against the ingratitude Of peo-
ole, and 10 talk Of envy. jealousy. social
ism, and the hate toward wealth.
1t would do these directors good II they
could he made TO see what is the matter.
The matter is that they have been dumb.
A persistent campaign of advertising
would have changed all that hostility to
friendship.
II you want me to feel friendly toward
you, YOU must talk 10 me.
Human nature is human nature. If a
man in village never speaks he viii be
Inspected Of all manner of crimes.
a non-advertsing corporation is 70 a
tate or nation what this dump man is
10 the village Things may go we'll with
il until it needs public cooperation and
help. then it discovers that it has fool
SHY alienated the people.
The more power q man or an organiza-
ton Of men mas, the more it needs ad-
-r;ising as a matter Of self-preservation.

While Many Others Think
One of the Real Reasons
Was Theodore Roosevelt.

Theodore Roosevelt expected 70 see
President Wilson soundly repudiated last
November T.
He says so in an article he has writ
ten for the American Magazine, and eX-
presses his great disappointment.
Roosevelt presents his analysis Of the
Wilson victory.
He says Wilson won "thru the appeal
made for him that ne kept Us out Of the
war, and that times are prosperous
That appeal should not have won for
him, Roosevelt is convinced. but il won
The fact that it DID win, means. in
the Roosevelt Interpretation, that every
man who voted for him is a blooming
ignoramus-as compared to Theodore
Roosevelt.
These blooming ignoramuses had no
business listening to the plea for Presi-
dent Wilson that he kept US out Of the
war
''It would have been highly creditable
in them" Roosevelt says, IF they had
possessed the vision and disinterested-
ness to disregard it,
But they regarded it and stand dis
credited as visionless beings of a misdi-
rected interest, by this politician and
partisan who admits that as both he is
just plain good and sore.
On Thursday Of this week. in pursu-
ance Of a custom, we paused and gave
thanks for our blessings as individuals
and as nation.
Prayers were lifted to the Almighty,
giving thanks for president who had
been successful in keeping our own
hands clean of blood while the nations
across seas have engaged in carnival Of
killing.
These prayers breathed the grateful
ness of mothers who were blessed by the
presence of their sons at the family table.
But in this as we interpret Theodore
Roosevelt, we were all wrong.
In this, as we interpret Theodore
Roosevelt, We evidenced that We have
failed to look deeply into international
relations and general world conditions.
In this, as we interpret Theodore
Roosevelt, we demonstrated that we lack
vision and that we are lot Of wooden
heads upon whom Theodore Roosevelt,
two-gun man, jingo, alarmist and he Of
she terrible teeth, could make nc lmpres-
sion with his campaign speeches.
1t was impossible, he suggests, for
even Theodore Roosevelt TO open our eyes
and show us the fallacy Of following The
president who had kept US out Of war.
In lifting our thanks to the Almighty
for Wilson we were again, as We inter
pret Theodore Roosevelt blind and
blooming ignoramuses--a compared 10
Theodore Roosevelt
Perhaps the Colonel will grant us, at
least, that the custom Of last THURSDAY.
in itself, is all right
We cannot believe that the Colonel has
gone back on Us to the extent his article
indicates.
We cannot conceive OF him having such
little respect for a judgment that once
called him to the presidency.
We do not believe he has given US what
he considers the real reason for the Will
son victory.
We are pretty sure that Roosevelt feels
right down in the innermOst depths of
himself that the Wilson victory was due
mostly and principally to the fact that
the Chicago convention nominated the
wrong man and that the right man would
have been Theodore Roosevelt
The Roosevelt opinion does not bar US.
