THE NEW BROTHERHOOD

BY EDGAR A. GUEST
We are sitting out the selfishness that mar
red our olden creeds.
From the vineyards where we labor we are
thinning out the weeds.
We are building for the future to nobler,
better plan,
For the world has caught the Vision of the
brotherhood of MN.
We have put the past behind U.S. AS the
sturdy pioneers
Saw within the tangled forest all the glory OF
the years,
So we face our trials calmly, for beyond them
we can see
The greater goals of freedom and the world
that is to be.
These are days of self-denia1, these are times
for sacrifice.
It is freedom we are gaining and each one
must pay the price.
We are drawing close together with COM
mon end in view;
Tor the greater joys we dream Of we've
conn on task to do.
We are sitting out the selfishness that mar
red us in the past,
For the light of truth is shining through the
clouds of doubt at last;
We are building Cor the future to larger,
better pan.
For all eyes have caught the vision of the
brothe hood IF man.

Many people who keep hoping that rrices
will drop to somewhere near their pre-war
level base this hope on the fact that our
currency system at present is nlgnly IN
flated. This initiation is bound to stop
soon, they argue. Then, with less money
and credit available, the price Of nearly
everything will go down accordingly.
Now, our currency is certainly inflated,
admits Prof Irving Fisher, Of Yale. But
he does not agree that there is going to be
ahy let-up. The government tried to force
a deuation after the Civil war, he recalls''

circulation; depression ensued Immediately,
and congress had to forbid any further re-
duction.

bank credit" he says, 1--WE shall lind the
whole business community in arms. ana
without such reduction there can be no
general fall in prices
There is a worldwide cause, too opera
ting to maintain and even to continue
swelling the general volume OF credit. De-
post banking, he points out, has increased
20 government demands in all the warning
countries, and it will increase vastly mere
after Money goes out OF circulation ana
out of Improbable hiding places into bank
vaults and there becomes basis of new
circulating credits. Even the Chinese and
the people of India are learning. This new
habit will lead to great currency expan-
sion. ''It is as if new source OF solo
supply had been discovered"
Nobody then need talk hopefully OF the
prices of 1913 and 1914. 1t is futile to try
to bring these back. Buyers have been
trying it, with insignificant results
These is a new high price level, maintains
this expert, and it will prove to be STUB
born reality. The clever business man, he
says, is not the one who waits to buy raw
materials or manufactured articles needs,
but the one who accepts the new price facts
and acts accordingly.
This testimony gives strong support to
the "buy now movement already under way.

THE OTHER FOOT
(The Chattanooga News)


With a democratic congress in power it
was difficult to tell from bowls of northern
and western papers whether the south in the
saddle or the seniority rule was the greater
outrage, though they were usually coupled to-
gether. But it has been demonstrated that
they are in no way connected. The seniority
rule remains intact, bat every impol tant COM
mittee Craftsmanship has been taken from the
south by the simple process of electing a
Republican majority. In the last congress,
North Carolina led the states with three i'm
portant chairmanships; in the new congress
this honor goes to ~owa. There are but two
minor chairmanships which come south-one
of them to Tennessee-though the political
changes in the house complexion were less
than a couple of dozens.
1t will do no good to complain that the
north is in the saddle-which is little more
true than heret fore. Such allegations
against the south were largely hypCcritical 1t
merely happened that several congressman
from the south had served longer than their
party colleagues from other sections of the
country. The same il now true of Repub-
licans from northern states who succeed to
chairmanships The fact that only two chair
planned on the theory that the Republicans
never did do much for the south And this
recalls the corresponding fact that the south
has never done much for the Republican par
ty. Honors are about even.

That Car Nicholas and King George did not

Whatever the kaisers feeling in July, 1914,

comfiture, and had enjoyed the sight OF

RUTS
By DR.. Frank Crane

BY Dr. Frank Crane
Ruts are grooves made in the road by We
hicles gone before.
They are easy to get into and hard to get
out Of -
They are useful for plodding carts, dam
gerous for fast drivers and fatal for bicycles
or motorcycles
So they are both good and bad.
railroad track is nothing but two parallel
steel ruts. The huge trains can spin safely
along at fifty miles an hour simply because
it has lost his liberty, it sticks to the ruts
The river keeps in it's rut, or channel;
when it escapes it plays havoc.
The sun runs in it's sky-rut; so do all the
stars and so does the earth itself.
The train is an organized, communal car
rer; the bicycle is individual; hence ruts
are good for the safe movement of men in
masses, but bad for individual action.
Thus all institutions are on ruts. The
advantage of an institution is that it will
keep on going in the direction it was first
pushed.
1t is good for people who dislike thinking
and dread responsibility.
Colleges run in the ruts of past genera
lions. Many of them have become practically
useless. Unable to change their course, they
have been shunted into obsolescence.
There are religious organizations which
are merely running down ancient grooves.
reverently inefficient, uselessly respectable.
Politics is rutty. The public can always
more easily U6 1uuuCSu W w WAAdL II has
been in the habit of doing than to try any
thing new. At least they know the evils OF
the old; the evils of the new are untried and
fearsome.
Nations run in ruts. They make war, and
go on getting ready for war, for only one
reason: they always have. The task of in
ducing nations to disarm and appeal to law is
enormous, because it implies persuading ma
lions to think.
Sticking to ones rut is the best cheap
substitute for intelligence. Man. an liable
business man. is no more than an old moss
back who goes on doing what he always has
done.
The poet the prophet and the adventurous
youth are trying to get things out of ruts.
They are rightly called dangerous citizens.
For most people belong in ruts and when
they get out they are unable to guide them
selves.
Reforming mankind is interest. But there
is not much money in it.
The ruttiest thing il the world is money.
money-man becomes great by his ability to
refuse. Great fortunes are built up only
rarely by ability. and enterprise and brains;
they come usually by declining to bulge.
Energetic folk occasionally make inroads
upon prosperity, but the nabobs OF Wall
Street and the Bank OF England are sltters;
money gravitates to them
Freedom, individuality, independence, orig
ina1ity, bold ideas and high dreams put in
practice. are the luxuries Of the poor. They
are for the walkers and bicyclists: if you
would be leading citizen you must ride on
the train.

ONE WAY TO HIT DISEASE
BY H. AddingtOn Bruce


n Public Health, that excellent litSle jour
nal of information published by the
Michigan state board of health, I find
a community health suggestion which gladly
pass on, with some simplifying and amenda-
tory comment of my own. Speaking of the
Importance of having the public cooperate
with health authorities to secure better hous-
ing conditions, Public Health goes on to say;
IF you are patron of the movies seek
those places where the proprietor has pro-
vided proper ventilation and cleanliness.
Avoid those with close, ill-smelling or arti-
icially scented atmospheres-lest you pay
the eXorbitant price of headaches, colds and
pneumonia"
Here is a suggestion distinctly worth put
ting into effect. And not with regard to the
movies" only. There are other places of
public resort where ventilation and cleanli-
ness are not always provided they ought
to be.
The high-priced theaters are sometimes
conspicuous offenders in this respect So
are concert halls and billiard rooms and
bowling alleys.
1t must also be regretfully added that
some churches lack good ventilation systems
and are not kept exactly clean. In these
days of widespread knowledge concerning the
relations between foul air, dust, dirt and
disease this is ineXplicable-and unpardon-
able.
Wherefore I would extend Public Health's
plan of avoidance to include any place of
public resort where fundamentals of venti-
lation and cleanliness are fagrantly disre-
garded.
And, in order to make the plan really eff
fective, 1 would ask people to take it up
among their friends and to urge their friends
to similar action.
If only a few patrons of any particular
disease trap keep out of the trap their alb
sence will never be noticed by the parties
responsible for the trap. The wise ones who
stay away will, of course, be safeguarding
their own health. Community health will
continue to be endangered.
But if there be a steadily heavier falling
off in the patronage of the disease-traps,
somebody will pretty soon, and pretty ur-
gently, want to know why.
For that matter, care should be taken to
let the somebody know why.
Letters should be written to the manage
ment--not anonymous letters or abusive let
tiers, but letters courteously calling attention
to the state of affairs which has rendered
further attendance undesirable until certain
improvements have been made
flood of such letters, combined with the
concrete evidence of empty seats, unused bill
lard tables and deserted bowling alleys, may
be depended upon to bring good results.
Proprietors hitherto culpably negligent
will suddenly discover that after all they can
afford to. keep soap and water in frequent
operation, and to install satisfactory venti-
Iaton systems. They will discover, in fact,
that they can no longer afford to do without
these.
Wherever such plan as this is adopted
by the community in general it may be set
down as certainty that the community
health index will promptly and appreciably
go up. Crowding in insanitary places is one
Of the great menaces of today.

A POINT FOR THE "CRAND-
MOTHER"
(The New York World

American democracy may we'll be hospl-
table to the venerable Nine. Breshkovsky,
who is more prophecies than propaganda
and whose sentimental devotion to what she
idealizes as Socialism is closely akin to our
faith in ordered liberty and self-govern-
ment. Yet it is difficult to repress the
thought that the time and energy which late
in life she now puts under requistion in a
far country might better have been applied
to the situation at home
Russia is not to be saved in America
What Russia needs is truth, and too many
of those capable of truth-telling have aban-
doned the scene. The real revolution failed
partly on this account. Too many of its
adherents fled. To many of them sought
assistance elsewhere. At the very crisis
of affairs the men and women who should
have stood fast gave up the struggle. The
soul of Russia must be sought in Russia
itself, or it never will be found.
