Finance and big business COM
bined." do other things also. They
build industry on a gigantic scale of
economical production. That will be
useful to every one. in the future
when everyone gets his fair share.
That will come some day Big busi-
ress and finance prove every day
that competition is unnecessary and
wasteful, thus proving that public
ownership Is practical Their huge
profits make It possible to develop
talent with great rewards. So the
world goes ahead more rapidly than
1t used to go.
Big business and finance build col
leges, hospitals. fight disease through
scientific oundations-things the
people don't yet know enough to do
for themselves, with their own nat
ural resources.
But the best thing, big business
radicalism.
The American public is not easy
to teach. II has even got used TO
taxation without representation
monopolies laying the taxes. But glvs

the people will be educated at last
1t may take a century or two. But
Keppler said when he announced the
laws governing the movements of the
planets, that If God could wait 5000
years for the laws to be revealed
he, Keppler. could walt patiently for
posterity to acknowledge his work.
And we can wait, especially as the
earth and men are to last 100. 000.-
600 years more, according to science.
and we may come back here.
Restlessness Is everywhere. Miss
Muriel Mccormick, who calls her
self Nawanna Micor, has moved into
an attic studio. three flights up. in
Chicago. with no elevator. Having
John D. Rockefeller for a grand
father, she could afford an elevator
But she wants to be Independent and
mako her career as grand opera
singer with no help.
Leaving her, with respectful bow,
you pass on to Picking and make your
sa1aams before the Boy Emperor.
Suen Tong. also aged Is. The Chinese
republic has annihilated his job but
allows him 100000 year. fine
palaces. company of wives" his
wn grandfather for companion and
the supervise mandarin, Tcheng
Paocheng. for tutor.
Suen Tong, not satisfied, wants
to cut off his queue. travel in motors.
railroad trains and airplane-no
Chinese emperor ever tried any OF
the three. And he wants 10 travel
Tcheng Paocheng says he will kill
himself il the Son of Heaven car
ries out his plan. Suen Tong and
Nawanna Acknowledgements should
be brought together and arrange to
exchange places for a while-Suen
Tong in the Chicago attic, Nawanna
in the Picking palace. Both would
be interested for a while and both
would be cured. temporarily
No great general strike in reply
to the Injunction to control shopmen
is probable. 1t would be a general
strike against the general public, not
against the railroads or the courts
Such a strike would suit the rail-
reads, for it could end in only one
way. Intelligent workmen know
that.
If the men believe they are III
treated let them show it at the cleo
ton. only eight weeks off. If you
have the general public with you
you can do anything with the ballot
II you have not public opinion with
you there is nothing you can do. A
general strike. If successful, would
mean hard winter for all except
those at whom it is aimed. 1t would
not be successful and failure would
add to the weakness of union labor
A girl of Hoboken, N j., return
ing with girl friends, from dance
at a. M. saw her father waiting
for her outside the house with a
heavy strap in his hand She ran
and stayed the night with her friends
to escape a flogging. The father
does not know what girls are coming
to- II he could be left in a baboon
forest to study gorillas, he would
never see sn old mani gorilla take a
club to his young. IL he would go
to Japan and shake mis- strap at

No one tsrikes child in Japan, and
the Japanese are efficient. Their
handspring, which is courage, Is not
broken in childhood The man that
would beat his child in a rage, AMI
would not whip a valuable young deg

'LaFollette leading by 8 to L." Is
ono report of Wisconsins election
seen by the writer. Those that know
the sincerity of La{Follette or the
loyalty of Wisconsin, wonder how the
other man got that lone.
Bishop futile says the young girl
Of today differs llttlel from her sisters
OF 50 years ago. He, might add that
she differs little from her Roman
sister of 1000 years iago. her Cretan
sister OF $500 yeats ago. or her
Egyptian sister stillS farther bacx.
Other things change. human nature
very little.
Power must be somewhere. The
Germans have taken lit from the
Kaiser, as we took it'll from King
George. And with Germany, as with
us, power has shifted to the hands
of Intelligent finance.
SHINES. great Industrial financier
of Germany. has made with France a
bargain to dc 1a.o0o, cod. 900 francs
worth Of rebuilding in lieu OF cash
reparations. That will mean a labor
boom for Germany-the things will
be there and France will actually get
something.
