FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Revolt against traditions and au-
thority has sprung up not only
against the political state, but in
music, art, poetry and commerce un-
til the age has become 'pre-eminently
one Of sham and counterfeit" James
M. Beck, solicitor general Of the
United States, declared recently be-
fore the American Bar association.
Mr.. Beck spoke on the spirit of law
lessness, as follows:
"The statistics Of our criminal
courts in recent years show an un-
precedented growth in crime" Mr..
Beck said. "But this revolt against
authority is not confined to the po-
litical state. In music, its funda-
mental canons have been thrown
aside and discord has replaced har-
mony. Its OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES a
musical crime.
I'm the plastic arts, the criteria
of beauty have been swept aside by
the futurists, cubists, vorticists and
other aesthetic Bolsheviki. In po-
etry, beauty of rhythm and nobility
of thought have been replaced by
exaltation of the grotesque and
brutal
SIN commerce the revolt is one
against purity of standards and the
integrity Of business morals. Who
can question that this is pre-emi-
nently the age of sham and counter
felt"
A spirit of lawlessness always ex-
listed, Mr.. Beck said, but cited the
prevalence Of burglaries, holdups,
murder and graft to show recent
growth of lawlessness. Today peo-
pie regard the lessons Of the past
as presumptively false" he de-
clared, and ''the burden is now upon
him who seeks to invoke it."
1.-TWO of the oldest peoples in the
world-China and Russia-are in a
welter of anarchy" the solicitor
general said.
"The morale of our industrial
civilization has been shattered,
Work for works sake, as the most
glorious privilege of human facul-
ties. has gone. The aversion to work
is the great evil of the world today.
the less a man does the less he wants
to do. The whole history of the
mechanical era is persistent strug-
gle for more pay and shorter hours
and today it has eliminated in world
wide ruin. In my judgment the
economic catastrophe of 1921 is far
greater than the politico- military
catastrophe of 1914"

BLAZE DAMAGES HOUSE

A fire originating from an oil
stove in the kitchen of the house on
the Walter Johnson farm in Thet-
ford, last Monday, for time threat
ened the destruction of the house.
Carold Hawley, who lives on the
farm, Immediately notified the Ser
viss Telephone exchange, on the dis
covery of the fire, and the latter by
means of a general call, promptly
notified its subscribers living in the

crew which was operating just north
of Henpeck. These men stopped
their work and grabbing pals were
soon at the scene Of the fire which
they aided effectively in extinguish-

BINGHAM SCHOOL TO OPEN

We are asked to notify the pupils
and patrons of Bingham School that
the school will open Monday, Sept.
S. This is Labor Day and the boys
and girls of the school can begin
work on the day before mentioned
and keep it up all through the year.
1t will be an auspicious time to be-
gin. Work in the various branches
of human endeavor is by long odds
the most important of the forces that
have made life worth living. School
work is fundamental; it is the most
important work the individual ever
does. More regrets are wasted over
misspent school days than any other
of the mistakes of life. Mrs. Morn
ingstar will teach at the Bingham.
