WASTE.
~ DIR. FRANk cEANS
copyright. 1916. by Frank Crane,

There is no understanding of life with
out generalization.
You can't grasp the meaning of any
one particular thing unless you grasp
the scheme of things entire" at least to
degree
The difference between an educated
man and simpleton is that the former
knows rules. laws and general principles.
When an event happens he can place it.
relate il, make it fit in with other events:
while the narrow mind is flabbergasted.
The general principle by which, il ii
to be decided whether money spent is
wasted or well invested is this: Has it
gone to increase human welfare?
Trace any expenditure to its end. II
that end is destruction, disease, or death,
lit is waste.
A famous economist raised the cues
ton whether man who threw a brick
and smashed window was not helping.
along. Did he not make business for the
| glaziers, glass factories, and other work
ers ana producers!
So the luxuries of profligate wealth
have been excused as making profits for
flunkeys. florists, wine merchants. milli-
ners, and the like.
You never can understand this until
you find out what is the form of the
final consumption of the money. II it
is evil, the spending is waste.
The United States is now gorging in
prosperity. Is ii good or bad?
Let us see Mr.. James K Lynch,
president of the American Bankers as
ISOLATION, stated in a recent speech that
the total deposits in the national banks
Of the United States on Dec 81, last year,
were Sl0,397 900. 900. an increase dur
ing the past year of s2,163, 900, 900.
THE source of the increased bank de-
posits is not difficult to trace the chief
among them being the immense increase
! in exports TO warning nations Of Eu-
rope" he said.
There you have the case stated plain
ly: first, the huge heaps of money we
are accommodating, and second, the source
from which ii Games.
That source is the destruction Of hui
man life and property. 1t is blowing
mems bodies into bloody shreds, pro-
ducing heartbreak and horror in carload
lots, and undoing the constructive work
Of generations.
Able fipanciers and bankers may talk
! till they are black in the face, Broad
way may celebrate prosperity in wilder
land wilder revels, and we may all fatu-
ously pat ourselves on the back over
our business pre-eminence, but if there
are any such things as law. compensa-
ton, and cause and effect, and If tive
and two make four, then every dollar
of our triumphant war profits is a dirty
and a damned dollar, represents utter
waste, and will draw it's dividends in
| tears
| You remember Ruskin's question? II
child should upset and break the bowl in
the milk-house, and if the cat should lick
up the milk, you would call it waste; but

and pride that do the damage, if instead
Of the milk bowl IL is the Golden Bowl
that is broken. and il instead Of the cat

is that no waste?
