On My Way
| have started for that city
Where the streets are paved with
gold,
There no pain OF death can enter
Neither storms so fierce and cold.
There I'll meet with friends and
loved ones,
Never more TO say goodbye,
For no parting words are spoken
In that home beyond the sky.
Jesus has prepared a mansion
In that city bright and fair,
On this earth there Is no dwelling
Which with il could half compare.
So we hope. and full assurance
| have started on my way
And I know that / shall safely
Reach that city some sweet day.
Though the path be rough anc
dreary
Jesus passed this way before,
So III follow where he leadeth
Never fearing any more.

BRITISH CONTROL OF FINANCES

For the fiscal year ending 1921, the British Iexchequer receipts were $7,l30,O 0,OOO,OOO, and of the United States treasury $6,6O5, ,OOO,OOO While the British treasury had surplus of $l ,152, 100000 the United States had deficit of $3Oy0OO,O0O. For 1919 the British treasury had a deficit of $l 0O0O,0OO, but in two years gained two and three-fourths billions on the outgoing stream of expenditures. The cost of running the British government for 1920 com pared to 1919 showed a saving of $2,3O0,0OO,- OO0 With half the population of the United States, England has shown greater adaptabiGty to the conditions of recurring peace than our country. To that extent England is less gov erned by her official class and more responsive to the concepts of a self governing democracv Besides London has become the discount agent for most of Europe and acts as middeman for the continent. When it comes to topping off the supernumeraries of officialdom bred by the World war, England has proven more efficient than our republic Great Britain has learned how to subordinate the greed of offcadom to the financial abilities of the nation. Amer ican ofticiadom has developed the right or the claim to create financial deficits, the right to ovcrdraw government appropriations to an alarming extent. A custom of cnacting de- fcicncy approp iation bill is a regular feature of congress and state legislatures. In many states there is . commission created that meets and authorizes deficiency warrants that draw interest when q fund has been exhausted In
 1927 the variou federal deficiencies aggregated over $5OoO0O0.O, according to a report made by Senator Sm 1ot. \ demand was made ou thp legal drpa tmont of the government to take punitive action against heads of bureaus who expended funds in excess of appropria- Gony. In New York state Governor Miller made fight to cut the budget %G5OO0OOO and Iop off 2,0OO unnecessary political jobs, as it was shown holding down the tax rate was the only way 10 reduce enormous rent charges. Hug" rents are taken by the assessors as a basis for higher valuations and higher tax rates are taken as basis for raising rents The vicious circle is based on the predatory demands of the offcc-hoIdng class that dictates political policies and constantly expands ci- penditures.

dancing is a sport in which every one
participates. Far from being a danger
Ous or immoral one, as some Of our re-
formers would have US believe, 1t is a
social safety valve. The young folks
dance off certain energies which would
otherwise be dangerous to them and TO
society as constituted.
TENDENCY OF DANCING
TO DEGENERATION.
In old and decadent civilizations, like
that of the Near East, for example, dane.
ing always degenerates from q sport Into
a spectacle In the Orient the dancing is
all done by girls who are hired for the
purpose, and the men merely watch. II
Is then that dancing becomes a really
degenerate amusement, for 1t awakens
libidtnous energies without providing an
outlet for them.
You can see our own social dancing
going through the same process and to.
ward the same goal. The brisk walttzes,
polkas and square dances Of a genera
ton ago were lively exercises compared
10 the langurOus shimmies and fox trots
OF today. We are gradually becoming
TO fat and lazy to shake foot. And at
the same time you see the dance as a
spectacle rising in favor. Already at the
caoarets, hired dancers occupy the floor
for good part of the time.
We are showing signs of getting too
soft to dance and we are already as a
people too soft to fight. Shall we then.
as the reformers urge, forbid prize hight
mgr No. Because the prohibit would
not work, any more than a good many
other prohibitions have worked. The lust
Tor battle is there, and If it cannot get
direct satisfaction it will get an indi-
rect one. better way would be to
nave boxing taught In all the schools,
ana TO make our champions instructors
Of boxing In the universities. Then II

is artifcally controlled-that is, con-
| trolled by man.
China, the scientists tell US, could sup
port several times her present immense
population If all her resources were
properly developed. But If this were
done and nothing done to control the
increase of population by birth and I'M
migration, China would be Just where
she is today as far as the security OF
the individual is concerned. That is,
her population would again be pressin e
upon her food supply and famines would
occur whenever a considerable part of
that food supply failed.
! The United States, we are told, could
easily support four hundred million peo-
pie What will we have attained when
our population has reached four hun
dred million? We will have attained the
position of China. We will be a part
Of the earth which is nearly saturated
with life. Our population will press
upon our food supply. When part OF
our food supply fails. a few million Of
us Will die. Our scientists will be strain
Ing every brain cell to increase the food
supply, and as fast as they succeed the
population viii move up to meet 1t. That
Is the history Of every country in which
We cannot easily starve IN this coun-
try now. for the simple reason that this
continent has not been inhabited by
civilized man long enough to reach the
saturation point for civilized life. But
1t is moving toward that saturation
point as fast as 1t can.
FOOD SUPPLY REGULATES
POPULATION.
1t is true--that when the population
does catch up with the food supply, it
stops increasing. 1t has to. These
| famines in China are one of the means
by which a population is self-limited.
But the important point is this: There
is no gain, either for the state or for
/ the individual, unless the food supply
increases faster than the population. so
that there is more for each one
Since the relentless natural law is that
life increases just as fast as the food sup
ply will allow, it follows that this desira-
BILE result of a superintendent food supply
can be achieved IN the long run only by
limiting the population. That is what
has been done in France. where the pop
ulation is nearly stationary, and small
families are the rule Every increase
In productivity in France means a real
gain for French individuals. Every in
crease in the food supply in China means
a few more babies TO die In the next
famine.
There IS no room here to discuss the
means Of controlling population, and It is
a most difficult subject to discuss any
way, because Of the numerous social and
religious prejudices which hem It about.
But leaving birth control out Of the ques-
ton, one Of the most effective ways Of
controlling population, in a country like
this. is to limit immigration intelligently.
Congress IS about to pass a law stop
ping immigration for two years. In so
doing. 1t strikes blow for every one Of
rs. 1t puts food in our mouths. Let US
/ hope It Will follow this up with q per-
manent system Of rigid restriction. There
are plenty Of US here already.
