Money and Wealth

It is said and we believe 1t is true, that much more money is invested in the discovery and devel- opment of oil and gold than is ever realized that all the oil taken from the Burkburnett and Ranger fields in Texas will not bring much money was spent in that region To the short sighted, therefore. it would appear that it would be better for the world to be content with the bird in hand and cease longing the two birds in the bush; conserve existing wealth rather than to send 1t chase after elusive wealth.
 would, of course. be better for many indi viduals but it would be a mighty bad thing for the world if all individuals practced this kind of con- servaton
 Money is not wealth; 1t is only sign of wealth. We could not live on money. A million dollars in gold would be of value to the alone the trackless desert in a drifting boat unfre- quented
 Wealth consists of necessities and luxuries. Money buy them when they within reach. If all men who have money would cease to invest 1t for the production of wealth to take its place everything upon which live. all the three prime necessities would become exhausted We would at the time of exhaustion have plenty of money and we would perish with 1t in pockets or in the banks
 gallon of gasoline costs in Phoenix 27 cents. We understand that the producers of the gasoline making extravagant profit; that perhaps 1t cost them five cents ten cents. But it cost great deal We suppose that if should base the cost of the Phoenix gallon the countrys invest ment in crude oil explorations and the of pro- duction, refining and transportation we would have to pay fifty cents perhaps
 Every enterprise in which engage in pursuit of wealth is adventure which may be a prof itabe to It may be in farming, manufactur- ing mining If profitable to those who engage in it, it is almost certain to produce new wealth which will be profitable to the world at large The money unprofitaby invested lost to the world though it may be lost to the investor The new wealth is for the use of all.
 We touched upon this subject slightly the other day in discussion of the proposition to cancel the European debt, which stated if paid to us. with the result that industry in Europe should be para lyzed, and production should cease be greatly restricted the world would be deprived a great deal of wealth, though signs of wealth, the money which we could not eat drniI would be abundant.

LEDOUX

strange man. angel of the unem ployed." who has filled so much | space in the newspapers recently, and has yet remained personally al- most unknown. Ledoux believes n a thing which he calls cosmic con sciousness, and that is all that he believes in. He is not a Socialist or radical of any kind. He has no rec ognized creed-religious, political. or economic-to offer. That is one reas- on, of course. why he is acceptable
 to all classes of men, and is com mended by radical and conservative.
 capitalist and worker, at the same
 time LedouX does not believe that
 institutions and politics are worth
 worrying about. He believes that
 man is capable Of a higher grade of
 consciousness than most men have
 yet attained, and that his only prog
 ress will come from education in the
 bToadest sense, which will help him
 to come into that consciousness.
 T recognize no sin except the
 waste of energy" he explained, when
 he was interviewed in his little hall
 bedroom at d local hotel.
 War-strife and violence of all
 kinds, personal and naaonGl--hc re-
 gards as waste of lergy. All good
 comes from acting upon the motive
 of love-from friendly cooperation.
 This friendly cooperation will com
 pletely replace strife of all kinds
 when the human race has reached its real maturity of mind. There will be no unemployment for example be- l cause unemployment is obvious and preventable waste of energy. All life he sees as one vast stream of immor- tai energy in which every individual is capable of functioning as an har- monious and necessary part. The problem of life is the proper direc- | ton of that stream of energy.
 | In the philosophy which Ledoux eX- ! pounds-speaking often in a sort of | blank verse. with his eyes closed | there are traces of primitive Christi | anlty, of the teachings of Moses, Mo | hammed, Buddha. of the sacred books | of the Hindus, of Confucius and of 1 the greet American poet.

The Tariff in Politics

The tariff question is an economic question. While there may be and honest divisions of opin concerning the tariff do not believe there be an honest partisan division such has been maintained for than half a century It Is fnconceivable that because is a democrat he must sincerely believe that protective tariff is wrong, or because he is republican he must believe right. Yet the attitude of both parties toward the is traditional
 Both at been right and both have been wrong. The democrats have erred in blind and constant opposition to the protective principle and the republicans times have been guilty of abuse of principle. misuse of 1t in the interest Of certain classes.
 Yet the country has generally prospered under a protective tariff and it has generally languished fin the absence 1t. The tariff has been the one permanent dividing line between the two parties, frequently the only issue between them
 Circumstances have arisen within the last two wears which have divided the democratic camp But such circumstances had previously arisen.

"But I don't think anybody's in line yet says Lemuel.

Did you ever notice that all the newspaper stories have the same stuff? They must make carbon copies.
 But the tragedy of the thing oc- CUTS when the paper containing this account of the Battle of the Fans reaches the one guy who is really fool enought to have reached the Polo Grounds. He reads the story, looks around for the other 20.000 fans. pinches himself. reads the story again. decides he has gone foofoo and throws himself under passing car.

Senator Knox

IL generally conceded that there is little profit in politics. that is in public life, from constable to congressman. Most men who engage in the game retire losers. A comparatively few succeed. The fewer who succeed financially themselves open to suspicion
 There few wls by sheer strength or merit rise to positions honor retire with the applause of their countrynen. Such was Senator Knox, whose sudden death yesterday shocked the national capital
 We struck by a statement in the dispatches that Senator Knox politician, and was active in the management of the party, though he had long considered of its foremost lead CTS His position. it was further stated, mark of recognition of his statesmanship and not matter Of state politics. There are few in the senate who hold such position
 Most of them hold their places at the pleasure of politicians, it may be said that all of them get the pleasure of politicians. sena- tor Knox however. his start the top after he had acquired fame and competency in the prac- tce of the Pennsylvania then, as it had been before and has been since political hotbed Mr Knox's predecessor was of the most adrot of politicians and his colleague is perhaps the most powerful politician in his party.
 Though not a politician, MT. Knox was not inde- pendent the political machine of his state. Few men have ever been and remained in the positions in which the machine placed them. Now and then has been strong enough and possessed the inlt- stive. and the desire to break the machine with another Thus nfrequently statesmen have descended 10 politics.
 Senator Knox. if he took part in politics, never so far know questioned the programs Of the politicians of Pennsylvania or that of the politicians who control national republican party. He accepted such homage the politicians paid him, and repaid them by rendering such assistance as he could in furthering their programs

 Find Unidentified Man
 YUMA.-With recognition made difficult by several weeks exposure to the desert clements. the body of an unidentified man was found about eight miles south of the international boundary Monday by squad of Mex jean soldiers under the command of Major A. Araiza, in command of the garrison at San Luis, Sonora.
 According to the meager informa- ton received. at the sheriff's office late Monday, some papers found in the pockets of the clothing led Mexi- can officials to surmise that the body is that of a deserter from the Ameri- can army.
 No official report of the matter was made to the county authorities, but Sheriff Jim Polhamus will leave early this morning for San Luis to make a thorough Investigation Sun.
 Lobo Is Dead

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Oct. 1S-He is the man who walks the streets with white umbrella decorated with red hearts and the legend 'lft up your heart" who puts the unell- ployed on the auction block, stripped to the waist, and sells them to the highest bidder: who gets himself onto the first pages of newspapers every where he goes-picturesque sentl- mentalist and visionary with a glIt for self-advertising, you would say
 But when you learn that the same man buried himself in obscurlty on the East Side for five years III order to study the poor, you are lhcllheu to admit that he must be sincere. And when you learn that he lived there on five dollars a week, and yet kept him. self in such good health that he could beat a young athlete in a two-mile race. although ne is 47 you have to admit that he is a man of some prac- tical ability When you find Tn ad- dition that he has at the State De partment an enviable record as consul at Prague, Austria, that ne has been a successful efficiency en- giueer. that he did highly commended work during the war for the War Camp Community Service and the Labor Bureau of the War Depart meut. and that he has been success fully employed as a professional or eanizcr in several other enterprises, YOU realize that he cannot be a vis- iona-y in the usual sense of the term
 The mystery of his personality is increP sed when you learn that he not ouly las great influence over the unemployed workers who are his specia! interest, but that he also has the support and friendship of such men as Arthur Woods of New York, Mayor Peters of Boston, Claude Bragdon, the architect, and many others prominent in official and pro- fessionaI life. To be able to reach and impress such a variety of persons certainly shows an unusual individ- uality President Harding, after ar interview with him, to!i LedouX that he considered his work "the greatest in the world Many laugh at this man who merely hear of his exploits in getting publicity, but all seem tc feel his foa ce and earnestness Wher they meet him.

or poet. He seems eager to escape the repute of being one more anna teur messiah. He says that his words are nothing, what he does everything. He proposes to teach a gospel by acting it-by giving the example of life devoted to unselfish service.
 He has nothing, he says. and he wants nothing. He gave up sue cessful professional career for his present work. He wears castoff cloth ing given him by friends and never knows where his next dollar is com ing from. He has a wife and three grown children, all of whom he has taught to support themselves. He be- lieves that the individual who de- votes himself to the feeding of another individual creates one loafer and one slave. He does not believe that any one should be a dependent after childhood.
 Ledoux is perhaps our only public figure who speaks to his interviewers in a sort of poetry. For example this:
 He Speaks in Meter
 My mission is to lift up the hearts of the down-hearted. and to bring a greater measure of love and beauty
 
 that purpose I have become servant of the servants, serving the hewers of wood anc the drawers of water the builders of the pyramids"
 Whether you like it or not you have to admit that it is pretty good free verse.
 Ledoux is a big, g,barrel-chested. ath- letic looking man, with head oi classical design, and a smile that never wavers. He says that he is never unhappy because he wants nothing and so cannot De disappoint- ed. His presence is undeniably i'm ] pressiVe and magnetic. It would be | hard for any one to overlook him ol | laugh at him. He is widely read. Hs | is vegetarian, "ses no tobacco, al. | cohol or condiments.
