"WhEN THE DEVIL Is SICK"

Here We are dropping back again
into our old habits of not reading
the Bible, remarks "Girard" in the
Philadelphia Press.
Last year the American Bible So
ciety published 100000 Bibles or
parts Of the Bible.
That seems quite lot. but it was
less than half the output four years
ago. The outbreak Of war stimu-
lated the reading of holy writ so
that in 1915 the American Bible So
ciety issued 100000 copies.
Bookshop managers assured me
that even professional gamblers took
to Bible reading at the outbreak Of
war and purchased them for gifts
to friends.

There Is no progress except In the
stimulus Of competition
The chief trouble today is that the
world war wrought the destruction OF
healthful competition. left our store
houses empty. and there is a minimum
production when our need Ia maximum.
Maximums not minimums Is the call
OF America 1t isn't new story be-
cause war never fails to leave depict
ed storehouses and always impairs the
efficiency Of production. War also
establishes its higher standards for
wages and they abide wish the
higher wage to abide. on one explicit
condition-that the wage-earner will
give full return for the wage received.
l want. somehow, to appeal to the
sons and daughters of the republic. to

In production, more production. honest
production. patriotic production be-
cause patriotic production is no less
defense Of our best civilization than
that Of armed force Profiteering is a
crime OF commission. Underproduc-
ton Is crime of omission. We must
work our most and best else the de-
structive reaction will come.
The menacing tendency of the pre-
sent day is not chargeable wholly TO
the unsettled and fevered conditions
caused by the war. The manifest
weakness in popular government lies
in the temptation to appeal to grouped
citizenship for political advantage.
1t would be the blindness of folly to
ignore the activities in our own coun-
try which are aimed to destroy our
economic system, and to commit us to
the colossal tragedy which has de-
stroyed all freedom and made Russia
impotent. This movement is not to be
halted in throttled liberties. We must
not abridge the freedom OF speech the
freedom of press. or the freedom Of
assembly. because there is no promise
in repression. These liberties are as
sacred as the freedom Of religious be-
lief, as inviolable as the rights OF life
and the pursuit Of happiness. We do
hold to the right to crush sedition to
stifle menacing contempt for law.
