The Premium on Ideas

The market price most often
quoted for thought is a penny.
Valuable thoughts are often given
away to those who re.decorate them
as their own and obtain a consider
able cash return for them. Your
skilled literary artist rivals the
vacuum cleaner for picking up un-
considered trifes; and afterwards
he is able to reduce them to some
thing of value, as men turn Stag or
culm or sawdust or cOttOnseed or
smoke to profit. And, of course,
smart Alexis as we are, we have
only made beginning of the use of
unutilized things of value. Only
little while ago we sneered at gaso-
line. We still spend most of each
day throwing away with both hands
waste" material. The chief end of
man since time began has been to
destroy natural resources, and the
waste basket is far in advance of
the desk in it's utility as office fur
niture. We clean houses in the
spring more for the satisfaction of
throwing things away than for the
pleasure of looking spick and span.
In house cleaning ones brain, one
sometimes finds an idea, and won
ders what to do with it. How to
get an addition is the problem.
Everybody is so busy. We set out
to peddle the salable inspiration
from door to door as college
student might sell books or take
subscriptions for a magazine. In
places the reception we get is cold
and inSalubrious. These are likely
to be unprogressive establishments
already stocked with so large sup
ply of we'll thumbed recipes of the

above was the eye of Providence
and below the motto, e Pluribus
Unum."
John Adams had the government
represented as powerful, hercu-
lean figure, with a giant club and
standing between Virtue and
Vice.
Franklin adopted the story of
Pharaoh pursuing the Hebrews into
the Red sea, with the Pillar of fire
before the latter.
None of these pleasing, so the
committee was dismissed, and in the
ensuing years five distinct groups of
men submitted over forty sugges-
tons before the eagle, with his olive
branch in one claw and his arrows
in the other, finally satisfied con-
gress, much to Franklin's dissatis-
faction.
In June of the year 1882 congress
finally permitted itself to acqu1esce
to the eagle design, and by that
time the only thing that was left of
the Franklin idea was the "E Pluri-
bus Unum' that he had suggested to
Jefferson in 1916.
Franklin, with his ideas of the
fitness of things, could not approve
of bird which he knew from his
observations to be a rascal among
the denizens of the upper air. He
affirmed that the eagle was lazy
bird and great big bully, neither
one of which he believed typifed
the young nation. He said that the
eagle would not go out in search of
food, but hung about and watched
for the more industrious birds who
would do so, and he would then
attack them and take the food
away from them.
Had Franklin had his way we
should doubtless be offering pre-
miums for the pelts of the bald
eagle in the places where he is so
fortunate as to survive and on the
other hand would permit the alb
original turkey to strut our forests
and fields in peace and pride.
1t was not in many things that
the taste and will of Franklin did
not carry with the colonial repre-
sentatives, for there was no man
more highly respected than he; so it
is no speculation to say that we
came very near having had the tur-
key on our seal instead of the eagle.
Considering the fact that Franklin
opposed the eagle, it is most sur
prising indeed that it was ever
adopted at ALL

NEW probably have ever given

II it thought as to why we
adopted the eagle as our
national bird, and not many are
aware that our forefathers gave
considerable thought to the subject.
The eagle is in no way significant
of America and is not a purely
American bird. When the subject
was mooted at the beginning of our
existence as a nation there was con-
siderable preference for the turkey
as the national bird, and if Ben
jamin Franklin who was called up
on to discuss and decide many
ticklish questions had had his way
our bald eagle would never have
arisen above the status of a hawk
robber, while the barnyard digni-
tary would have aired his vanity on
everything from the national seal
down to quarter.
Even with our republican ideas
when this nation was born, we still
possessed a touch of heraldry, and
the fathers regarded the selection of
proper heraldic arms as q most es-
sential feature of the conception of
a nation. In the earliest days the
eagle was not considered, and at
last when Franklin heard that it
had been chosen he was sorely dis
pleased.
John Hancock, Immediately after
the Declaration of Independence,
turned his attention to the creation
of national flag and seal. He was
an ardent antiquarian and had made
an exhaustive study of heraldry, so
he was careful to select such of his
friends as he knew were competent
to design and select the proper
symbols. They were John Adams,
Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin
Franklin.
When Hancock's distinguished
committee presented it's first set of
suggestions the congressional body
was not satisfied with any of the de-
vices though they had developed
them in numerous conclaves and
with much laborious and conscien-
tious study. Jefferson had worked
out shield divided into six Sec
tons, each containing something
symbolical of one of the peoples
that entered into the making of
America.
There was the English rose, the
French feur de lis, the Scotch
thistle, the Irish harp, the German
eagle and the Dutch lion. Virtue
and Justice supported the shield;

best informed men in close touch with
the administration. Its main inform
ant was one OF the foremost men in
the councils and confidence OF Presi
dent Wilson.
From him came the statement that
ANYTHING purporting to be President
Wilson's idea. now Is a fiction. The
President. he said, has not yet de-
cided But the official view as re-
fecied by wilson's closest advisers
can be stated thus. On the first point.
the administration thinks the ques-
ton of peace 90 very enormous that
Il is worthy OF serious consideration.
On the other hand, It feels convinced
already that the Allies will scorn the
offers.
But be Germany's motive political.
altruistic or greedy, the idea OF a step
to end The war is too momentous TO
be cast aside without fullest official
discussion.
IN these circumstances, the govern.
ment may lend its infuence-secretly
perhaps TO getting such discussion.
But W'll 60 cautiously before put

on the question Of Q world guaranty
OF peace. officials think that Ger
many's terms as revealed by a Ger
man embassy official. are such that
only such an international agreement
could make them "stick." AMI. ~
this time, they feel 1t is doubtful u
such guaranty could be effected.
The reasons for desiring a world
guaranty are these:
Germany would be we'll pleased TO
return to the status she had terri
torially before the war. But. in ad-
dtion she wants a way into Asia
Minor. Her terms impose a hardship
upon Russia because she wants q
buffer between that great nation AND
her eastern boundary But such terms
could not be attained, probably
/. Hence, right on that point, the need
of a world guaranty Of peace woulC
arise. Yet. there are other considora
tons. Belgium would be restored hu
al a terrible sacrifice. There wOul'
be no restitution for the ravage Cd
war. unless perhaps Germany shoul,
buy al an enormous rate the Belgian
Congo as a restitution measure.
Belglum's fate in the present war
oficials think, makes the idea Of
world guaranty OF peace even more
essential than perhaps do the Ques
, tons of a possible threat OF Russia
overrunning the German Empire.
Germany has aspirations In ASH
