THE NEW GOD

At the top of half-page advertise
ment of a prominent clothing concern
in one of our Eastern cities, and
printed in large, display type, there
recently appeared these words:
"The Almighty Dollar, the Great
Object of Universal Devotion" To
come this may have appeared harm
less enough, but 30 others, it has a
significant meaning. 1t appears to
take for granted that the people of
this country have Internationally
surrendered their higher ideals. 1t
appears to assume that we have con
coded the truth of the accusation
which has often been made against
the people of the United States, the
assertion that money is our king and
our god 7.3l
When a clothing store calmly adj
vertises the fact that the dollar is al
mighty, it is time something was
done. Are we, as aspeople, willing to
have ii politically heralded as the
truthful version Of our relation to
money II we are willing. then we
admit that we have reached the state
where we have no other ideals.
We must admit, however, that the
dollar is, apparently, a great object
OF universal devotion. Men are will
Ing TO break all ten commandments
| for its sake and women are willing to
! ruin their lives to catch its CLEAN.
Immigrants come to this country to
make money; men go to the cities
| to make money; we bow down and
worship those who have money; and
a mans social standing is figured on
ltiic basis Of how much wealth he has
accumulated. We are money.mad
and money.drunk rapidly becoming
mere organisms always cropping for
more money. But there are still a
lfew spots in the country where wor.
Ethier ideals exist Truth, justice,
honor. and morality are not univer-
sally, wrecked. AS long as such
places continue to survive, we do not
have to admit the divine power OF
gold.
1t is our duty as individuals to
tshow an increased resistance toward
'fthis tendency to make money our god
Ia prochvity which is bound if not
1checked, eventually to destroy us. II
we do not fight against this danger
Gus condition of things, some morn
ling we shall awaken and read, "The
Almighty Dollar, the Great Object OF
Universal Devotion and there will
be no voice to deny it.

With no immediate prospect Of a
settlement of the BorkshireN Street
Railway strike, there is an excellent
opportunity for the establishment of
a regular iitney service to North
Adams and intermediate points. The
berkshire Street Railway has been
losing money heavily and there is
every indication that the cars will
not run for some time. Automobiles
must, in large part. take the place
of the car service. This opens a
chance for jitney service into
Massachusetts that should be lucra-
tive business.

taken up the suggestion for the Lin

"A Victory oak or a Victory elm

said Charles Lathrop Pack, the presi'
dent of the American Forestry associa-
don. "The motor has played big part
in the war and 1t would be a very fine
thing for the highway associations to
