A DAILY MESSAGE
BY DR.. WILLIAM e. BARTON
Is CIVILIZATION pEAp7

They still print books in Germany,
and the books appear to be bought
and read, notwithstanding the high
prices. Prof. Oswald Spengler has is
sued at Munich book on the future
of civilization. The volume is big and
expensive, but has run through six
editions in a short time.
He declares that the fate which
overwhelmed the civilization of the
Orient awaits the nations of Europe
and the newer world at a date which
he puts no farther away than 2200
A. D.
The signs of the old worlds decay,
he maintains, are visible. They are the
growth of the cities at the expense Of
the country; the development of cos
mopolitan life at the expense of the
domestic; the development Of pru
dence at the expense of honor, and Of
doubt instead of religion.
These, he affirms, are the stages
through which the old world passed in
the 500 years between 800 B. c. and
800 A. d.
He declares that each civilization
has its natal period, it's "Forzeit'';
then its time of development of indus
arts; then it's period of culture
which becomes feeble and luxurious
and brittle, and then it's inevitable
decay and doom.
If this had been written since the
war, we might suppose that he had
developed his theory out of his dis
may that German "kultur" had gone
down in battle But it appears that the
book was finished in 1917, at about
the time when Germany was at ner
best in the fight. So, whatever the
merits of the book, it may not be
swept aside as a special plea devel-
oped out of Germany's defeat.
Prof. Ralph Barton Paine. OF Har-
ward says Of it:
There lis no major contention
of the book that is proved by his
torical data or straight thinking.
1t abounds in shrewd and tell
ing comments on the numerous
and diverse historical events which
it assemblies; but as regards fun
damentals its scholarship is SUI
perficial, its criticism hasty, and.
its constructive principle fanciful
and obscure"
Civilization will last as long as it
deserves to last, and not much longer.
So long as we keep its sources sweet
and strong, we shall be preserved by
our chaste home life, the integrity Of
our public spirit and the stability OF
our commercial honor. When these iail,
then as Kipling has told US, An our
pomp Of yesterday is one with Nineveh
and Tyre
The answer to the question of the
longevity of civilization is one which
we civilized people must answer. Nei
Their Prof. Spengler, nor the ancient
Romans can determine that fact. But
Spengler's theory is worth thinking
about, and the danger well worth
guarding against.

IDLE DOLLAR INVITES CRIME

During the wave. of crime which has
shocked the country a number of peo-
pie have lost their lives in trying Ia
protect their money.
If this money had been safely in
vested there would have been no mo-
tive for the crime and the victims
would probably be alive today.
More than that, their money would
have been earning something for them
while it helped to keep business. NOV
ing.
The active dollar in the bank turns
a great many trades. keeps a grea:
deal of business moving and gives EN-
ployment to great many people. The
amazing difference between the value
OF active and inactive dollars to the
country is shown by the following
facts:
While the average dollar in cash
turns only about S64 in trade during
the year the average dollar in cash in
New York banks turns about $4,000 in
trade each year. The cash in New
York banks, averaging S104, 600, 900,
moved a business of $3.50, 0OO, 900. 900,
The country at large, with a total
cash currency of about SIS, 00O, 900 900.
did business of 1926. 00O,O000 900.
1t appears from this that the active
dollar in New York banks did 40 times
as much business as the average dol
lar in the United States.
An active dollar in any good bank
will do vastly more business than the
same dollar in the hands Of an indi-
vidual. AS a matter of fact. money in
the hands of individuals HAS no value
until it is used. In the hands of the
miser, it tends to be destructive, for it
invites robbery and murder.
This is no new discovery. 1t was
known 1900 years ago when the Para
BILE OF the Talents was first spoken and
the man who hid his money in a nap
kin was denounced and those who put
1t out at interest were commended.

Tractors vs.. Horses.


An incident where three tractors
helped to save a large quantity of
wheat occurred recently at Floydada,
Texas, where a granary containing
l. 100 bushels of wheat burst during a
rainstorm. necessitating the removal OF
the wheat regardless of road condi-
tons. Six hundred bushels were hauled
TO shelter in the town by the three
tractors and $50 bushels were hauled
by 20 horses, all over roads considered
impossible with heavy loads. The
tractors out travelled the horses and
made the trip of 16 miles in four and
one-half hours with only an occasional
stop the clean the Tugs. The average
load hauled by each tractor was 10000
pounds.
Town Indicted for Road Neglect.
The town of Reading, Mass. has
been indicted on a charge of criminal
neglect in failing to maintain a high
way in a proper manner. The Middle
sex county (Mass) grand jury brought
the indictment. The town was indict-
ed under q statute that provides that
city or town must keep its highways
reasonably safe and convenient for
public travel
Insure Against Car Seizure.
Decisions of the federal courts that
automobiles carrying liquor or drugs
could be seized and sold. which for
time threatened the contract sales bust
ness of the motor car industry, have
been met by insurance companies. Now
when a car is sold on the installment
plan in Los Angeles, Cal. the dealer
making the sale requires insurance
against fire. theft and carrying OF
drugs or liquor. The rate of premium
is said to be very small.
Fifth Wheels AS a Turn Table.
A motor truck designed for use or

PRESS COMMENT
Strange Position of tho United States.

"A
| Somewhat confusing is the position
| Of the United States in regard to the
| European situation. 1t is as chang
! Ing as a game of checkers.
This government informed the Ger
| man government that the United
| States supports the Allied nations in
| their reparation demands; that the
| American people, do not countenance
| Berlin's refusal to pay and are lend
ing their moral strength to the forces
seeking to place upon Germany's
| shoulders the responsibility for the
war and the havoc wrought by It.
The announcement was received en-
Enthusiastically by our former allies,
who, because of acts of the recent
past, have been led to believe that We
had forgotten their friendship and SCI
forth with the determination to pad
die our own canoe in the information
al seas.
Now comes the announcement tn It
the United States is to formulate a
separate peace with our enemies,
which will be the source of much en-
enlargement to German minds. Per
haps the enthusiasm they will develop
will overshadow the effect the first
message had upon them. 1t is char
acteristic Of the Germans to accept
the last word as the only one that
counts in the reckoning.
We are supporting the Allies, the
terms they are demanding of the de-
feated, but at the same time we are
steadfastly refusing 10 officially rec
ognize these terms and have express
ed the desire for a separate settle
ment. The Germans have reason 20
feel that our support is extended with
reservations.
Germany has felt all along that the
United States was rather inclined to
feel sympathetically toward the de-
feated, and indeed a flood OF propa-
ganda has sought to accomplish this,
but whole hearted Americans continue
to hold the belief that Germany
should be forced to pay to the last
cent.
Sifted, down to fundamentals, it is
the same old spirit of Republicanism
manifesting itself-and involving the
situation more and more. The sepa-
rate peace idea is one of those brought
over from the campaign and in des~
peration the party leaders want to
put over something that is not in linz
with the policies of the old admins
tration. AS yet they haven't done it.

silly, Wasn's She7 No!

Plate after plate OF golden brown
pancakes disappeared at the family
breakfast table. Mother, with face
flushed from the heat OF the big range
brought the pancakes hot from the
griddle, exchanging the plate of cakes
for the empty on the table, as was
the family custom. Once she refillel
the big syrup mug and got father and
the boys extra cups of coffee. The
breakfast was certainly enjoyed, sh(
told herself. These pancakes must
have been just right.
From the breakfast table everybody
hurried to work or to school. There
was always a rush getting everybody
off in the morning. Then in the
quiet Of the house in which she was
the only occupant, mother did a mos
unheard Of thinking. She sat down
in rocking chair, threw her apron
over her face to hide the uncontroia-
bic muscles-and cried. She cried as
she had not cried in years, her sobs
shaking her body until she was weak
and exhausted.
There was nobody to come in to
whom sh1 would have thought of tel
ling her grief. There was nobody in
the world to whom she would have
told it. You see it was such a silly
thing. She was crying because no
body said they. liked her pancakes!
If her head had been working
clearly she would have remembered
that no one ever had said it; they
just ate her good cooking with keen
enjoyment-she could tell that from
many signs. Her family simply die
not have the habit of expressing their
appreciation in words. They just
tools things for granted. They I'M
doubtedly would have been amazed
at mothers silly crying, for mother
never cried at anything.
1t was right silly, WASH: it,
to have the heartache over such a
little thing as that?
No. she wasn't silly, she was just
human.-Polk County Record.
