PASSING THE BUCK

II you want TO rise to the top in your business or
line OF work, you must have the quality of ac-
cepting responsibility instead of evading it.
The man with a tendency to pass the buck"
usually finds that his ladder OF success has only
one rung.
Business will stand for almost anything from a
man II he has the courage to say, yes. that's my
fault. But | won't make the mistake again"
Such a man stands out, like shotgun at a dis
armament conference, among the millions who con-
tinually are %evading responsibility - passing the
blame to other people or to existing conditions.
The evasion OF responsibility seems TO be an
almost universal human failing.
Savages people the earth with evil spirits to blame
things on.
The Chinese for thousands of years blamed their
famines on the gods OF rain, flood, sun and insect
pests. All this was nothing but self-hypnotism-the
rearing OF imaginary devils on whose shoulders
blame was piled. Along came American engineers.
They discovered water a few feet under the surface.
"Behold!' they said to the Chinese. The famine is
your own fault. Sink shallow water wells, irrigate
your fields, and famine will end"
Today we have civilized America, caught in the
simple economic law OF cause and effect, blaming
imaginary ~nothings Tor existing conditions.
Experts delve into the past, find that prices and
in previous years moved up and down
like waves. Hence, they reason, we are not to blame
Tor conditions, we are just caught up and carried
along by a natural process.
We have cynics, converted to the philosophy that
there has to be war in Europe every hall century.
We have psychiatrists, blaming the unsettled mem
tai and moral state OF the world on intangible, ina
ginary things like the cosmic urge" the wave OF
social hySteria," etc.
These gentlemen attract wide f~ollowings, for the
world IS always on the eager lookout Tor anything
new on which it can shoulder the blame, instead OF
people accepting the truth and taking their own
medicine.
This is the truth: That we are masters OF our
own destinies-that man is responsible Tor mans
roubles.-Bartlesville Examiner.

THEY CALL 1T A MIRAGE"

THE Massachusetts, Civic Alliance has issued a
statement relative to the Sheppard owner Ma
ternity Bill which fairly sizzles with objections 10
the maternity mirage as it uncermoniously dubs it.
Beginning with the declaration that the bill "appro-
PIRATES 81, 100000 annually for conversation centers.
studies and surveys on married women by unmar-
ried women it works up gradually to what it
really thinks about the measure. The reference to
the part played by unmarried women is based OIL the
TACT that the direction Of the operations under the
bill would be given over to the Children's Bureau
of the Department of Labor, presided over by an
unmarried woman and made up almost wholly Of
young women who arc not married, and employing
field workers of whom all are spinsterS with one or
two exceptions, it is said. But the Civic Alliance
goes further:
This anomalous bill requires that the States cstab-
fish extension courses of lectures and consultation
centers, but forbids the renting or purchase Of any
building in which to hold them.
1t employs nurses, but not for nursing.
Its title pretends that it is for the public pro-
lection of infants, but the bill naively provides a
method of protecting infants from its ministrations.
1t is for mothers, but its text overlooks expec-
tant mothers.
1t is for child-bearing, bat provides neither doc
tor, nurse nor midwife.
1t is advanced on the claim it will reduce deaths
Of mothers and infants, but it makes no medical
provision and employs no physician.
The Civic Alliance concludes this broadside with
the question, What then is its purpose?' The al
lance, however, thoughtfully appends its own sug-
gestions as to purposes which might under some
stretch OF imagination be attributed to the bureau
authors Of the bill-for the alliance takes it for
granted that the Children's Bureau drafted the mea-
sure. Among other things it is limited that the Ian
guage OF the bill makes it possible for eugenics, birth
control, wages Tor mothers, State support OF children,
economic independence OF mothers from husbands,
free love and all sorts OF wild notions to be foisted
upon the women OF the land. The alliance does not
say that these things would be taught. 1t merely
says that they could be taught under the terms OF
the bill. As for the Civic Alliance itself. it does not
have anything to say regarding its organization or
the purposes thereof-Dallas News.

THOMAS H. OWEN CASTING ABOUT

THOMAS H.. OWEN who has been prominent in
state Democratic politics ever since statehood is
now feeling OF the public to get a line on what the
attitude of the public would be toward him should
ne announce for governor.
When 4 man begins to send out letters TO his
personal friends it is pretty good evidence that he
is ready to get on the mourners' bench of his politi-
cal party. Nine times out of ten these personal
friends do what is expected OF them. They will state
that the people are clamoring for this very man to
offer himself for office.
Mr.. Owen is a man who has been before the
public since statehood. He has friends in every
lection Of the state and like the other candidates
lhere are many more in every community who never
heard of him..
Soon after the first of January those who in
tend TO get in the race will be making prepara-
tions to enter the campaign. That time is not far
removed. The time for action is close at hand.
No one man in the state has any claim to the
office over any other man. The last campaign ior
governor was different. J. B. A. Robertson had
run Judge Bob Williams so close that the people felt
i'll a manner that the office should be his next time
and there was not a man in the state who could
have defeated Mr.. Robertson in the last primary cleo
ton.
No such conditions prevail now. The party is
not tied to any one man. 1t is free to accept the
man who makes the best impression upon the voters.
Mr.. Owen would carry one very strong faction of
the party and he has at least an even change for
the democratic nomination and no good fighter
should ask for more. A square fighting chance is
all any good sport should ask for.

ALABAMA FARMERS BUILD MONUMENT

WHILE the state of Oklahoma is doing its utmost
to rid the country of the boil weevil down in
Alabama the farmers have built a monument in
honor of the bug known as the cotton pest.
The Alabama farmers say that the weevil made
1t impossible to raise cotton and they were forced
TO plant other crops. When they did so a greater
degree OF prosperity came to them and they were
able nnder the new system to build a shaft to the
boil weevil whereas if they had still been raising
cotton they could not have built monument to
honor even the memories OF the men who served
over seas.
A year or two OF high priced cotton led the
farmer to the belief that he could make all the
money he needed from this one crop alone and he
neglected other crops.
In many localities in the southwest country
there are very few hogs or mich cows. The man
who has 4 bunch OF hog, or u herd OF mich cows
must stay with them each day OF the year. There
are lew visits with kiniolks, there is no going away
from home ior 4 visit OF weeks at a time during
the summer months and many farmers who did not
like the idea OF being tied down every month IN the
year figured they could earn what money they
needed by raising cotton and neglected the better
crops.
The result; is very plain. The farmer must give
attention TO other crops. He must have poultry
and hogs and dairy cows. No matter how irksome
It IS 10 stay with live stock every day in the wear
they are a necessary object to farm prosperity and
there will be no prosperity when these are neglected
