editorial from the Saturday Evening
( Post)
{ A new craze is sweeping over the.
country -as silly as pestilential a.
the dancing madness that seized tn,
world just before the war Everybody
wants to reform everybody else and
settle everything that is wong with
anything. Our mails are choked with
impassioned letters. our wastebaskets
are overflowing with "thoughtiess
pamphlets touting panaceas.
Everything, from pap to dynamite
is being recommended for what ails the
world and the other fellow Every
method of relieving him of his pocket
book for that is always the seat OF
the other fellows disease-is being ad
vocated. Some favor choking him
with taxes as an easy cure: others
treating him with a piece of lead pipe
as being quicker and more merciful.
Some pearheaded professors and mem
bers of the allied trades of mental shut
ups are working in shifts turning out
their celebrated Socialist Soothing
Syrup, guaranteeing to cure financial
corpulence and the black curse of the
courageous home life. Bright young men
who make a living shaking up bright
young thots in bright Young papers are
offering their snappy tasting Bolshevik
Sasparlla for those dull world aches
One group of ladies are brewing over
bon fires a cure-all for everything,
while another group denies that there
is any efficacy in that medicine and
wants to cheer up the plain old prob
lens by.runniug them with baby rib
bon.
This is the greatest era of pap. pif-
fle and poison the world has ever seen.
The old family doctor hasn't a chancel
nobody but quack can prescribe now
adavs But sensible people learned long
ago that there is no health in the nos
trum. no way to sound body except
thru living sanely. simple exercise and
hard work Throw the bottles out Of.
the window it will not hurt if you
throw out few quaeks along with
them -aDd let's all go back to work
Meantime young Professor THIS ana
old Doctor THAT should not be allow
ed to offer, as safe and pleasant tonics
that create a depraved ap-l
petite in credulous takers And one can't
always know that the habit for thel
stuff has been formed when the patient
begins to babble about the revolution
The final aim of every revolution
he only lasting result that can be gain
I'd from one--is the ballot. If the
americans have not the simple,
common sense to use it wisely and TO
,lect honest leaders who will pass
lonest laws--not for one class but for
~ classes how can they expect any
hing good to come from teh seIfelected
eaders who selfishly seize power fori
themselves and a small group Of follow
rs2.
The answer is that the men who ad-
.ocate the sort Of practical BolsheVism
hat is at work in Russia today, and
hey are almost all unnaturalized
oreigners, do not want honest leaders
r honest laws they want to loot.
