BEN,s ADVICE GOOD NOW.

7 OOKING backward a matter of q
hundred years or so, we discov.
er that our country, then young, was
passing through a period of deer
gloom. Business was bad, taxes were
heavy, everybody was grumbling and
men of all classes bemoaned the
hard times-just as they have been
doing lately. Then it was printer,
Benjamin Franklin, published his
famous Father Abraham sermon;
Friends" said ne, 1.-THE taxes arc
indeed very heavy, and if those laid
on by the government were the only
ones we had to pay we might more
easily discharge them; but We nave
IEoay others, ami o;uch more g~ievou5
to some Of US. We Gle taxed twice
as much by our idleness, three times
as much by our pride, and four times
as much by our folly"
Almost the identical trade condi-
tons that existed then are with US
now, says an exchange, and human
nature is always the same. Self
examination is not an agreeable oc-
cupation, therefore it is good for the
soul. Let us therefore endeavor to
eradicate our short comings, stop
complaining and worrying, and GET
BUSY. 1t is the fighting man who
wins. Conditions will revert back to
normal if every one will keep stiff
upper lip. It's a dead fish that will
float down stream-it takes a live
one TO swim up.

THE WRONG ROAD.

II IL cOuld get lnIo Tue HIStuly
books, it would read like this:
"Nov. "a, 1921-A Thanksgiving day
excursion crowd carried 1000 scien-
lists and professional men to Staten
Island, in New York harbor, where
they witnessed the tearing down Of
a chimney, 148 feet high, AZ feet
in diameter at the base. Despite
the huge size, this smokestack was
RACED in the mountaineering time of
55 minutes"
The history books would ignore
the chimney's usefulness and the fact
that it took twelve months and two
days to build it.
History is SO per cent a record of
destruction.
1t is designed to teach us what
man has done. But it clings almost
entirely to recording what man has
undone-d destroyed.
An excellent movement is gaining
Roadway in America, to revise his
tory as it is taught in our schools
What the child gets now is most
ly record Of slaughter and destruc-
tion-the history Of i'll will between
| England and America, North and
South, races, religions and politics.
1t took over 60 years of organized
fighting, and thousands of years of
progress, to give our women the bal
lot. Yet this, under our present
system, will get less space in school
histories than some battle that took
only few hours and had an inf
nitely less effect.
What happened in 1776? The Dec
laration of Independence, of course
But some school histories have for
gotten to tell you that in the same
year James Watt sold the worlds
first steam engine.
The real history of the growth anC
progress of our country is not mat
ter of battles or Indians shot b.
! Daniel Boone and other explorers.
The Monitor, which fought th'
Merrimac in 1862, was the first ar
mored ship. Every school child ha
! had the marvels of that invention
| drilled into his brain. But he read
mighty little of the more importan
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., moving pic
ture, electric light and motor.
History practically ignores the evo
luton of barbaric government int
American democracy, touching, how
ever, with great emphasis, on blood,
battles incidental to the progress.
A world, weary of war, wants t,
disarm, though it has only partly con
WINGED its diplomats. We are turn
ing from destruction to construction
and the first step in that direction
should be complete revision of his
tory textbooks for schools.
School histories now in use lie
not that they do not tell the truth
but because of what they omit
To revise history, the government
might organize commission of per
sons high in the public esteem, wit
intelligence broad enough to enabl
them to be impartial.

WHAT NEXT IN ELECTRICITY.
ONCE THOUGHT TEETCRAPHY

Away back in the nienties Marx
Twain wrote an interesting piece
about mental telegraphy some folks
call it "telepathy." Mark recited in
stances where he had wanted very
much to hear from this or that per.
son, and had had it on his mind
strongly, and he had even sat dow:
and written letters to them. In
each example the letter "crossed" in
the mails another from the individ-
ual in mind.
Few of us but have had letters
"'cross" in the mails, both written
on the same subject. And how fire.
quently have each one of US been
surprised to find people about whom
we were talking, suddenly appear on
the scene, causing us to remark:
Speak OF angels and you'll hear
their wing" or Speak of the devil
etc. And then there is the constant
recurring duplication Of thought as
ideas which brings out the sayings
"Great minds travel in the same di-
rection."
Few think of these as mental te-
legraphy," but are they not?
Mark Twain wrote in the days
when comon telegraphy OF messages
was by wire. He was convinced that
mental telegraphy was not clairvoy-
ance or spiritism, but the action OF
some unknown quality Of electricity.
Sin ce that time wireless telegraphy
has become common Wireless tel
ephony is beginning to become com
mon. We know that the sounds are
carried through the air by waves of
electricity which wash against poles
and standpipes to which receivers are
attached.
The world is making amazing
strides in the science of electricity.
What will it yield next? Win it be
the discovery of a quality Oh element
in electricity that, with the help. OF
apparatus, will wash waves of thought
from one brain to another?
