The head Of = nation is bound
TO maintain and express friendly
feelings for all countries with
which We are not at war. President
Harding properly sent q very
friendly message to England in
connection with the unveilinx OF
three busts put up in England in
memory Of George Washington.
This line from the Presidents
message interests you: 'They 1.-THE
busts) will remind both people
that Washington was an English
man by birth and tradition" etc.
So he was. and let it be remcm-
bered that although he was q
British subject, living under the
British government here. he did
not hesitate to rebel vigorously
against taxation without represen-
tation.
What is more, it would not have
made much difference to George
Washington whether he was taxed
without representation by an Eng
lish king or en- American trust.
Washington and his friends
wouldn't stand even ridiculous
little tax without representation"
put on by, the English king. And
60 hundred millions of Americans
9Ay tolerate every kind of q tax
Nsthout representation" that ANY
kind of trust can invent.
III it was right for Washington
to rebel against robbery by King
George from abroad. it would be
right for Americans to rebsl
, against robbery by King Dollar ut
home. But the Americans. as Lord
Northcliffe says, are docile
people. You can do to them safely
what you would not do to George
Washington.
There are many kinds of minds
and of training. One mind.
trained a certain way, can run \
factory at a profit. Another.
trained differently, or unframed,
can work in the factory, but
doesn't know how to run it.
Russia made q mistake when she
decided that the only thing in
factory was the man with the
'brawny arm" She forgot the
man with the protruding forehead
and indigestion, who told the
brawny-armed gentleman HOW to
do it.
Russia now plans to lease the
big Russian factories to former
owners. Optimistic Bolshsvism
discovers that with gradual, slow
changes. human beings must
develop in the future a in the
past. A. bedy needs it's brain,
mushy and worthless a. the brain
may seem IL taken out Of the skull
and scattered around. Without
the brain. feet and hands get into
trouble. The factory also needs
its brain, the kind Of thinking ma
chine that makes ends meet.
1t is one thing to dig. another
thing to tell somebody else
WHERE and HOW to dig in order
to get coal, gold, or diamonds.
Trying to get along without the
man that knows HOW" never
works. That. however, is no rea-
son for allowing the man that
knows show" to take more than
his share.
President Harding contradicts
Harvey, who said we went to war
simply as a business venture be-
cause it suited our selfish purposes
Harvey was wrong. We went
to war because the foolish German
kaiser told US our ships could not
sail the seas unmolested, that he
would sink them if they tried to
sail without his permission.
4 We went to war because a vast
majority of our citizens thought
Germany started it and deserved q
beating. There was certainly no
sordid selfishness in it.
Happy is the wealthy father
who has son he can trust with
money. Happy is the son who,
being left a rich Inheritance, can
put it to good use.
Bostius Sullivan, son of the late
Roger c. Sullivan, self-made politi-
cal leader and public utility mag
nate in Chicago, doesn't want
wealth to spend on ostentation or
luxurious vanities,
His happiest days were spent at
"prep" school among fellows who
Judged each other not by incomes.
but by personal worth.
SO Bostius is going to take the
fortune his father left him and
turn it into scholarships in aid Of
POOR boys who otherwise might not
be able to prepare for college.
