single industry in the world, says
that good business and prosperity
can continue and will, IL business
men are intelligent and do their
duty.
This is a useful warning from
one who knows about the business
of this and other countries.
Wealth is here. Producing
power is here. Prosperity can
be KEPT here, If business men
that control the country, its re-
sources, its production, do their
duty and show intelligence. IL
they fail they will remember 1t
for many a year.
In the church yard Of st. Marks
in the Bowerie there will be un-
veiled Mr.. Borgium's Little Lady
of the Dew" The congregation is
interested because dew is the only
thing in the way Of clothing that
the little lady wears.
The discussion, now interesting,
will be more SO. The clergyman
who approves the little lady, as he
should il she is really a work OF
art, remarks that God made man
and woman naked and says: Il
want to teach the sanctity Of the
body as God made it."
That argument is not entirely
convincing because God also made
the thin skin and cold weather
that compels us to wear clothes,
the snow and mud that make US
wear shoes. A better argument
is "the naked body is the work OF
God, clothes are the work Of men.
Only the work Of God is worthy
of artistic representation"
Welsh miners, according to q
London dispatch, threaten to take
from the mines even the men left
to run pumps and protect the
property. This would destroy
gigantic understanding that
Russian Bolshevism has not done,
although Civilized nations" do it
in war.
1t would be about as wise for
labor on strike to suggest poison
ing its city's water supply.
King George of Greece and the
monkey bite present something
new. DR.. Vidal, Of Paris, who
was paid sixty thousand dollars
for hurrying to the King, says
"the monkey was suffering from
rabies with which it had been ar
tificially inoculated, hence q veri-
table attempt against the Kings
life was committed"
To inject poison from a mad
dog into a tame monkey and then
persuade the monkey to bite the
King would require genuine in
genuity.
This is more interesting than
politics. Oil is discovered within
the Arctic circle. The land OF
eternal" ice and snow was once
tropical forests.
The discovery means that to DE-
velop the earth properly you must
nave big business, the BIGGEST,
or, better still, national owner
ship. It will cost fifty millions at
least to build a pipe line to bring
that Arctic oil to your ships and
automobiles.
The same announcement means
that brother John D. Rockefeller,
or his son, are good exploring
producers, for their organization
found the oil inside the Arctic cir
Gle.
What will be the wealth OF this
world, when energy reveals 1t all,
the submarine exploring the
depths of the ocean and the fly
ing machine the inaccessible parts
of the earth? Young men, there
are still openings-go North or
down into the ocean!
We need balance, level heads,
and freedom from stupid panic or
more stupid greediness among
those that control this country.
One look at Europe, England es-
pecially, should make Americans,
thoughtful.
England is close to bankruptcy,
and knows it. Other countries in
Europe are actually bankrupt,
and they know it. That is why
they are willing to pay ten or fiji
teen per cent for American
money. Those that lend so freely
will wake up by and by.
British labor will also have its
awakening after awhile. Its at
titude is: 81 must have all /
want, no matter what happens"
In the South yesterday 5000
bales of cotton, worth eight hun
dred dollars, were destroyed at
one time-burnt by men who be-
lieve they can help the cotton sit
uation by destroying cotton.
We have our daylight hold-ups
and robberies, our restlessness,
and most dangerous Of all, we
have in Mr.. Cox a candidate for
the Presidency pledged to tie this
country up, through the League Of
Nations, to all the wars and wor-
