JOHNSTON AND HOOVER.

The presidential primary in Cali
fornia at least accomplished one good
thing, the elimination of Hoover as q
presidential probability on the repub-
lican ticket. This socalled American
finally decided that California was a
good place in which to claim his
residence and relying upon the mil
lionaire colony of its southern section
he expected to carry that state. True
to his form and following he ran
strong with this element, but Johnson
swept the state, carrying il by tbs
largest majority of his political
career.
Johnson is bitter ender; that is
he does not want America to mix
up in European affairs, through a
peace league or in any other way
except to safeguard her national
rights and while his candidacy with

veloped in the elections has made him
probably the dominating figure of his
party. And his strength comes from
the people. He is without organiza-
ton in a measure, is without funds
and the race he is making is the re-
suit of the principles he is advocat-
ing and the popularity Of the man.
Already the old guard of the party
like Lodge and Penrose have under
taken to stem the tide in his favor by
concentrating upon some candidate
upon whom the old liner can unite.
If Johnson is the nominee at Chicago
it will make the issue before the
American people very clear League

gage of battle it would logically make

CHEER UP; THE COUNTRY
is SAFE!

II has come to be quite the habit
to knock everybody and everything.
All seems to have gone wrong.
Decentralization is in the very atmos-
phere, and il seems that this old
world is on the verge of going to
pieces. Men are predicting some dire
and dreadful calamity coming soon,
or some time--sure. Crossing of
bridges that never appear down life's
way is responsible for large share
of the pessimism of life.
One says it Is great panic that is
going to throw millions out OF work,
destroy credits, paralyze industry, and
precipitate anarchy and revolution.
Another says that radicalism in labor
unions will ultimately dethrone
Samuel Gompers and the conservative
element in labor, and that the soviet
will rule America; and so the wall
of distress goes on.
For the panic prognosticators it is
well to recall the experiences of the
early days of the war. Cotton
dropped to six cents, and the value of
every other commodity went tumb-
ling. There was no panic. The Fed
eral reserve system saved the coun-
try then as it will save this country
now and in the future. The money of
the country was formerly controlled
by few individuals and the banks of
Wall Street. Now the money is con-
trolled by the United States, and
cannot be manipulated by a few to
the detriment Of the many. A gov
eminent which can tide over its
finances through the cataclysm of
war can safeguard its people through
the period of reconstruction.
Now for the labor problem. The
prediction that soviet rule will prevail
in America is to discount and dis
credit the patriotism Of the whole
American people. There are too
many home-owners among the labor
ing people for anything like that to
occur. They want their rights, and
are organized to enforce them, but to
place the welfare Of four million men

above Che government of one hundred
and ten million people is beyond their
aim and desire
The trouble with America Is that
there is too little to buy and too much
with which to buy it. There is an
reproduction Of money and an
under-prOduction Of things for money
to buy It is the working Of the in
exorable law Of supply and demand.
The Government realizes this. To
prove this, some Of the things, the
price Of which was regulated by the
Government, advanced in price and
others reduced when Government con-
troll was lifted. 1t was in response
to the law Of supply and demand.
The Government is going at the
problem in a different way. The
three billion dollars of treasury notes
now circulating IN this country grad
ually are being withdrawn. They
were war emergency notes. They can
not all be retired at once, but gradu-
ally, almost imperceptibly; and as
they are retired, as the volume of cir
medium comes down, so will
the parity of values be established.
There is going to be no great cata-
rlysm in the financial or social or in
dustrial affairs of our country. Put
this in your hat. Right and Justice
still abide in the hearts Of the major
ity of men.

JUST SUPPOSE!

The legislature increased the state
tax rate a 1-2 mills to 10 mills, with
probably further increase within a
few years.
Now just suppose that the city
council found it necessary to increase
the city levy from twenty-four 7 to
thirty mills; and
Just suppose the board of super
visors found it necessary to increase
the county levy four or five mills in
the fall; and
just suppose the council added a
heavy annual levy to property holders
and the people generally for the pur-
pose of paying for paving on Main
and College streets; and
Just suppose the merchant and
business man found his privilege tax
doubled as a result of the new law,
and the entrance of Columbus into
the 10000 population classification;
and
just suppose that we are called
upon to pay the one per cent tax on
all sales for the soldier bonus; and
Just suppose that the cost of living
still further increases: the presump-
ton is that we will all be in
Hellufa fix; won't we?

THE SOLDIER BONUS

If the republican scheme for cor
railing notes.-the Soldier Bonus
Bill-should become law, it is going
to play havoc with this country.
If this iniquity has enough political
power to fasten itself upon the coun-
try now, it will have power enough
when fully organized and financed by
the Government, to perpetuate itself
like the Civil War pension system, for
all time to come. And while it will
cost just little six billion to carry
out the idea now, it will cost some
hundreds Of billions more in all the
years TO come.
Where is all this money to come
from? The Government-that is, you
and has only two sources of
revenue-bonds and taxation. II
bonds are issued it means the loss of
millions to the American people in
the value of their holdings in Liberty
bonds and other Government obliga-
tons. 1t means that Government OBJ
legations of all kinds will be discred-
tied both at home and abroad, when
we possess more money really than
all the nations on the earth. The
Government is solemnly obligated to
protect its bonds sold to the people
to win the war. They took them be-
cause they believed in their country
and its cause. If the Bonus Bill is
enacted it means that the bonds will
never go to par.
The economic loss to the nation will
be frightful. We are already
concerned about production in every
thing, but If this law is enacted it
means that the shiftless- minded,
now working and producing, will lay
off until the bonus is spent in riotous
living. 1t means another national
orgy of extravaganza and fast living
and bad indulgences, when the whole
force of our Government is now be-
ing exerted against these things.
If one per cent tax is levied on
every sale, as has been proposed by
the republicans, it means that the
tax will impose not only heavy bur-
den upon the individual consumers of
the country, but endless red tape and
tax complications for every line Of
industry in America besides hordes
Of new office-holders with their an
moving and officious interference in
business.
The great cry from the great mass
Of our people today is that the little
fellow is paying the big share of the
war tax. while the great trusts and

GOOD MAN; HE ATTENDS TO
HIS OWN BUSINESS"

A fine thing to say about any man,
but does the full responsibility of cit
izenship end here?
If we all went through life attend
ing strictly to our own business, what
dreary old world this would be-!
There would be no civic pride, no
community spirit, no progress, no
mutual helpfulness. If we would all
give all our time and thought and eff
fort to our own affairs, our COM
munity would shrink up and shrivel
away. The full measure Of good cit
izenship requires that we not only at
tend to our own business, but that we
manifest rightful concern in the
other fellows business. Success in
life should prompt rejoicing, not envy
and selfishness. The very moment we
begin to detract and pull down, that
very moment our work of undermin-
ing and destroying begins. Mutual
sympathy and helpfulness are the at
tributes of a good friend, good
neighbor, and a good citizen.
There are certain things which arc
not our own business, but they become
our business just in the ratio that our
usefulness Is measured in the COM
munity II, therefore, becomes our
duty to support all the institutions Of
our COMMUNICATIVE are working for
its moral and material welfare. This
is the first great duty of citizenship
to manifest and show faithful inter-
est in all of its affairs.
The churches and schools and
lodges-these agencies which deal
with our spiritual and moral well
fare should selaim our first thought,
for the great purpose of our lives is
to pattern our lives INTO perfection
along these lines. And, as it is our
duty to support these influences for
our own betterment, likewise it be-
comes our bounden duty to frown
down and destroy those things which
imperil the home and the individual.
Crime, in all its attrocious and
hateful forms, should receive our con
demnation always. This is one of the
gravest responsibilities Of good
citizenship.
Then the material things of life
should receive our support and con-
sideration. The civic bodies and COM
mercial institutions, which make liv-
ing conditions better and enlarge our
opportunities for success in our own
affairs, these, all, deserve our un-
stinted and unreserved support. The
"man who doesn't belong" is a non
entity in his community-whose little
life revolves about himself, and whose
influence counts for nothing.
So in this era of change and re-
construction let us remember and hold
fast to these fundamentals of good
citizenship. There never was period
when they were more needed than
now.

THE sALvATtoN ARMY.


N The call again comes to this city
and county for support in behalf Of
the Salvation Army, and while we have
grown tired of drives and tired of
giving, this is one appeal which no
man or woman can deny.
This organization earned the graft
tude of all nations for its record of
holpfulness during the war. 1t es-
tablished its work in the hearts of
all men as one of the great human
itarian forces of our time, and in this
period of reconstruction which is fac
ing all countries the field of its work
is larger and more important than
ever.
The Salvation Army has widened
its faith in Columbus by large invest
ment here and the people Of this city
should show their faith in the or
ganization by a generous response in
support of its work. N
The opportunity to give will come
Wednesday and Thursday of this week
which good men and women will vol
unfairly enter the crusade in its be-
half and they expect their efforts to
be literally rewarded. "a man may
be down, but he is never out, as long
as the Salvation Army can lend him
a helping hand to get him going again.
Is there any motto more appealing?
Surely not Help the cause when your
turn comes.

corporations are fattening at the exc
. pense Of the Government and the
people. United Steel was recently exc
empted from the operation Of the
antitrust law by the Supreme Court
Of the United States, and thus given
further power to prey upon the peo-
pie. Last year-after paying all Of
its taxes-it made nearly a billion
dollars. Big Business recently has
been granted another big bonus by the
courts in allowing it to pass
its enormous profits to its stock
holders in additional stock which es-
capes taxation. In the face Of this
it is proposed by the republicans in
congress to put this soldier bonus tax
on the people, who will pay one per
cent on every purchase made of
every necessity of life. 1t is
monstrous!
There is another effect of this bill
which ought to receive the earnest
consideration not only of Congress
but of every thoughtful citizen Of
America. 1t is the commercialization
Of war and the crucifixion of patriot
ism. Love Of country has been the
inspiration of great deeds upon the
battlefield from the beginning Of
time. The plaudits and praise, the
reverence and gratitude of people
for their victorious armies has suf-
ficed in the past. When this bill
becomes a law, money premium is
placed upon deeds Of valor and hero
ism which have heretofore been their
own reward.
John Spargo, the socialist, whose
eomprehending mind traces with such
accuracy our changing social pro-
cesses, calls attention to a result of
war which Congress might well con-
slider. War has unleashed the baser
passions of men, and it will be long
time before mankind travels along
its accustomed paths Of peace. The
man who went over the top for thirty
dollars a month-all for country, and
flag, and honor-back in the walks Of
private life, if Of criminal instinct, is
reasoning that if he can take a.
chance for thirty dollars a month,
why not take chance for thirty thou
sand dollars at bank robbery or
some other form of law violation.
And the results in America in the
number of the robberies seem to bear
out his view.
Congress should guard against de-
stroying the idealism of war. 1t
should never be placed upon q com
mercial basis. We have one pension
system resulting from the Civil War.
We must not invite another.
To the people Of the South the
Bonus Bill carries an additional men
ace in turning over to thousands Of
negroes large sum of money to be
spent in riotous living, inviting idle
ness and general decentralization to
all industry and agriculture which
will follow.
Nothing in this editorial is in

Man and Mankind
We have seen what the power the
Life the Mind, the whole reality or
Truth, the Love that animated, en-
lightened, impelled, capacitated, and
enabled the man Jesus. We have
seen that it was omnipotence, omni-
science, God, and that the express
sion of this made him the godlike
and true man that he was.
The man whom Jesus presented is
spiritual and spiritually minded, the
real man. The man that humanity
insists upon as real, the kind that is
really nc man, is fleshly or carnally
minded. Yet Christianity teaches
that ito be carnally minded is death;
hut to be spiritually minded is life
and peace. Because the carnal mind
is enmity against God; for it is not

of man, then, is to be the son of

is to be like those of whom Jesus
spoke when he said, "Ye are of your
father, the devil" and the devil be
called a murderer" that which is
destructive, and "A liar that in
which there is no truth
All Christians have certainly called
Jesus their pattern and their guide
and he spoke of himself as the way,
the truth, and the life" All Chris
tians are also instructed. Let this
mind be in you, which was also in
Christ Jesus. If this teaching be
correct, should not every Christian
claim for himself and for others the
spiritual power, intelligence, Life,
Truth, and Love which constitute
the one true good of all, eternal, in
destruetible incapable of impair
ment, loss, or lack? And should
not everyone disclaim a limited ma
terial power, mind, life, truth, love,
subject to disease, decay and death?
Can one be Christian without
claiming the former and disclaiming
the latter?
