Cod Give Us More Leaders.

THE very worst feature that socialism which threat
ems to nundate the political organizations Of the world
E tbs fact that it penalties individuality If It does not al
together ezsinate It The genuses that have
as peaks above plain in the history Of the world have
never lived where 1t the rule try make all in
telects tit into mold.
It is bad enough to attempt reward each man alike
IN material way for what he does Il VIII move diSss
enough TO give brawn all and brain nothing or net
to nothing N the settlement Of socetys accounts But
even is the removal Of the incentive to excel To
set bounds to initiative and say farther thou shalt not
60 is to smoke the lamp Of thought that lights our way
ABOVE the clay Il IS to halt and divert the orderly
process Of human evolution
Imagine state in which every man is cousin to the
eoo Dooaeung Old age and stupid youth every handl
Women only brood maresl No philosophers No poetsl
No song mskersl Nothing but vast e1panse Of redioc-
utyl Whole nations Of nothing but toing, sleeping
propagatng 1eshi
Todays dearth Of thinkers and leaders is often atribu
ted to what is believed to be higher level intelligence
above which these peaks do not show their altitude
The high level may be admitted regards certain scien
tfie achievements. But has the really made as
century, We may Be more aware Of the right and wrong
We nay have learned to draw finer distinctions between
the two but have We really become responsive to
the one and more abhorTent Of the other?
Can truhfuly attribute todays lack Of leaders
dreamers and artists 70 the growing tendency to
unze rather than compete; to socaze at the expense
Of personal development? That Specialization OF pooling
Of interests which protects nation against aggressors or
the entire human race against such foes bacH
such possible disasters fire and fcod and quake
costs nothing Of Individuality but gives It such bright
opportunities offered to MI. Wilson and Mr.
Hoover IN the late and 70 the hero everywhere But
when acts Of communication reach the point where each
individual within the communized group becomes nothing
than heecieng, housekeeping unit like every
other, the very worthweness Of existence is no more
It Noses Isaiah, Samuel Joseph, David, Solomon
and finally Jesus who made the Hebrew immortal It
Caesar Cicero, The Gracc Constantine and other
men like them who gave to Rome name that win en-
durs with time The age that lacks such VIII never
be remembered. We threatened with such age
b0lshevism IS ushered IN
A woman N Scotland who jabbed mans eye ont with
a hat pin has married him as compensation What if
some woman SHOULD jab ont bis other eye2

That Philadelphia judge who decided Sunday flying
not against the law is safe Nobody goes that fast IN
Philadelphia, even On week days.
If you are close observer you always ten waiter

II nobody but the proitesrs and the reds would freeze
the coal miners strike wouldn't be so bad
Collective bargaining consists in putting several col
