Catch" Eapressions

If other proof lacking of the direct and le- gitmae descent of human beings from monkeys there our damning tendency toward imitativeness. This is especially in a mouth filling or catch expression some one accidentally used time. We suppose the imftativeness of monkeys is manifested in the way if only understood the monkey tongue.
 When expressions catch, they their like epidemics through varying periods. Though we may not quite understand them-that is, though the originator meant one thing imitaors may mean another that no great matter since the expression itself may all of these things all satisfied; enjoy the thrill of the catch the satisfaction of the mouthf1.
 The trouble with these expressions is that they leave much to the imagination like slogan They do not appeal the thinker prefers employ his reasoning powers rather than his imagination. The multitude though accepts it, repeats it in concert each individual investing it with meaning all his own.
 Golfers touches upon this subject in it's current issue, without entering into the psychology of it. It merely nqures the meaning of the expression industrial democracy of which We have heard so much lately and suggests that if it means what many to think it it is not far removed from in dustrial anarchy.

 Now is it not possible that excellent persons by industrial democracy" a state of affairs m which the workers shall enjoy all the benefits and advantages of their labors share of the profits there be profits, but of the travails of the en- erprise of it's losses if there be losses? We are warranted in believing that it is the idea that hey should have voice in the management of the enterprse but should escape pains and respons- oilities of the management
 mat kind of an industrial democracy would hear resemblance at all such a political democracy that under which We live and in which the respon- sibty is brought home to every citizen who may be taxed until it hurts and who may be conscripted for purpose for which the democracy needs him.
 If we have any other kind a democracy say for instance, in which the citizens would be in control at all times without responsibility who should refuse 70 pay taxes. should decline go to war; or to do any thing but boss it would be kind of democracy known as boshevism
 We suspect that the advocates of industrial
