PROBLEM OF THE UNEMPLOYED

come to the mind Of any man who thinks is
this: Is there any way by which the prob
lem Of unemployment can be solved?
Happily, the answer is yes. AS far as our
own country is concerned it is emphatically
yes
There never was, there is not now, and
there never will be the slightest suspicion of
a legitimate excuse for unemployment on the
face of the earth-this good, unfailing,
bountiful earth which in the gladness of His
dreams in long past and immemorial hour
God flung from the hollow of His hand.
A book was issued lately from the press
Of the Macmillan Company, a book by Will
liam E. Smythe, which sets forth the sol
ution of the problem of the unemployed with
absolutely the same certainty that Euclid
dissects the parallelogram.
The book is called "City Homes on Coun-
try Lanes" and it is the most important
book of the hour. A book that points out
sure and certain-and, we might say, a
pleasant and beautiful-way to put stop
to idleness, which is the mother of hunger
and unemployment an end to the problem of
the unemployed, acknowledged by all to be
the gravest menace of our civilization.
If the book were not so simple we would
y
are simple.
If we were writing now of book the read
ing Of which, followed by practical applica-
ton, would cure cancer, or tuberculosis
Brights disease, insanity, or any of the
other ills to which our poor flesh is heir
doubtless everyone afflicted would hasten to
read the book and to act upon its directions.
Well, here is a book that most surely
oft hoo
which if any idle hungry man will read, and
act upon, he win never again be idle; he will
never again be hungry.
The Macmillan Company need not be alarm
ed over a prospect of having to contraband
all the printing presses of America and Eu-
rope to supply the demand for "City Homes
on Country Lanes" Would to God that they
would have to do so! But alas, there can be
no such hope.
There can be no such hope so long as the
typical hired man elects to make himself the
slave of the factory, the bondman of the city,
the serf of the smokestack. There can be no
such hope so long as he works at the COM
mand of clocks and whistles. There can be
no such hope so long as the bountiful earth
cries in vain for it's children to suckle at the
inexhaustible milk of its breasts.
But if there can be no hope for all the I'M
employed because they stupidity, ignorantly
and stubborny refuse to accept the succOr
that nature offers on every hand and by so
doing scott at God to his very face-there is
still, we are sure, hope for at least some
Some day when he is dead-and let US pray
God that it will be day not soon to come
because of the bitter need that the world has
of him and of such as he-the people will
perpetuate his name and his memory in stone
and in bronze.
And under his name they will cut and
chsel words like these: "Once he passed this
way Behold the bloom and fruit where his
footsteps trod."

MHERE DID SID Oh IT?

A young lady living on College
street went into the kitchen of her
home yesterday and asked, Mother,
have you any hot water ?"
a six-year-old sister looked up into
the older girls face and inquired,
What do you want hot water for g?
You have no husband to keep in it,
Wonder where the tot got the idea
that some women kept their husbands
In hot water.

BE LOYAL

There is no mystery about the fact
that every dollars worth of foreign
goods sold in this country destroys
the market for a dollars worth of
American-made goods, the production
of which keeps factories running and
men on the pay roll. You can't eat
your cake and keep it, and you can't
buy imported goods and keep the Am
erican factory busy and the Amer
lean working people in employment.
Americas first duty is to her home in
dustries and her own working peo-
ple. The first duty of every home
town interest is to protect the inter
ests of its home town, which means
protection Of the interests Of its home
factories.

If you were to be asked what problem it
is that constitutes the gravest menace to
civilization, and you would stop a minute to
think before you gave your answer, you
would of course, say that it is the problem
of the unemployed
Governments are as matter of fact mere
ly coteries of men in the various nations
where they exist, anxious to maintain and
perpetuate themselves in office. Theoret-
cally, government is another matter, to be
sure. But, practically, it is always the party
in power trying to hold itself in power
Wherefore the party in power in every ma
tion understands from long experience and
from history that the surest way to continue
in it's possessions is to have its constituency
contented and satisfied And it goes without
saying that an unemployed constituency
people out of work-cannot be contented and
satisfied.
A government may be able to continue
itself in power for a long time, and almost
indefinitely, no matter what problems may
arise, if its constituency is employed. Pros
porous people are not likely to take ser
iousIy questions that arise which do not real
ly affect their incomes or their pay envelopes.
Prosperity is the mother of contentment
No alert observer of human events can
have failed to notice also the fact that when
governments come face to face with the prob
lem of unemployment they make the most
frenzed efforts to distract the minds of the
people from that problem to another, and,
more likely, to many others In the past, on
such occasion, almost countless subterfuges
have been resorted to, and the same thing is
being done at the present hour
O,,I,, oil Of icto
how infinitely grateful the present govern
ment of Great Britain must be for the dis
traction which the Irish question and the
problem of India has offered to take the
minds of the British people away from the
problem of unemployment. And what these
two questions have done for Great Britain
the so-called Disarmament Conference in
Washington has done for America, France,
Italy, Japan and quite the rest of the world.
But it is only for the time being. These
things were opportune, but they won't last.
Other subterfuges will have to be resorted to
pretty soon And unless by some miracle
history shall repeat itself, and wave OF
prosperity which in all past ages has been
thing wholly of a spasmodic nature, shall
sweep over the world there is more than oita
government existing on the face of the earth
at the present hour due to go up in smoke.
Which is to say that when peoples remain
long unemployed, and they get tired of hum
ger and empty stomachs, they turn to an
archy and the torch. They destroy in day
the constructive achievements of century.
1t is then that parties in power operating
as governments crumble to ashes. Thrones
cannot stand against subjects whose ston-
achs are empty. Even a free government,
like our own-and our own is the best that
has yet been devised-cannot endure if the
bulk, or even great numbers of its citizens
have not enough to eat.
With all this in view and it all being in
disputable, the question that must inevitably

PR0HIBiTIONlST TELLS "WETs"
10 SAIL UNDER TRUE COi.ORS

Benson, Md, May 22, 1922
Editors The Aigs:
Dear Sirs:
saw list of names of some of our
prominent people in the Times paper
who have joined forces with the AS
ISOLATION opposed to the Prohibition
Amendment. would like to know
what has became of all their Wanted
patriotism of four years ago? Those
same people were then asking every
one to make sacrifices for their coun-
Try, to do without the necessities Of
lite for the country's good.
They asked, yes, and forced the young
men OF this country to 20 across and
be shot and killed as rats In a trap; 10
BIO manned, blinded and crippled, To
be destroyed mentally. They demand
ed the sacrifice Of the young men Of
the country; but what sacrifice are
they willing to give? Not even the
sacrifice of an evil and perverted ap-
petite for strong drink.
Don't tell me there il more whiskey
drank now, than when we had the sa-
looms for know better live In very
public place, and have been In public
business for years. l used 10 zee 30
many drunkards, and hear them 70 by
at nights, swearing, whooping and hol-
lerlng, but | never have heard them
since the saloons have been closed and
| very seldom see them any more.
II you want another proof read the
Forum Letters in the Evening Sun.
There writers IRE not kicking because
ttaey 'Sesssns get ,koiire whisky nJ% . .assng
before we had prohibition, but because
they can't get their beer, wine and
| whisky.
patriotism is the passion that aims
to serve ones country. Are We serv-
ing our country well when we food her
with beer, wine and whisky?
Germany was u beer-drinking coun-
try. You said the Germans were
beasts, had no souls, were maddogs and
wha. not. DO you want us TO DO Ike
| the Germans
France il a vine drinking country.
1t liz amost on the verge OF bankruptcy
and inidelity. DO you want our coun-
try like that?
Another excuse brought up for the
repeal of the temperance law, is that
the drug habit has increased SC since
the saloon has been taken away Eng
land has the open saloon and the drug
habit has increased there by leaps and
bounds, also whisky drinking by young
girls. Whisky are drugs are sold In
hundreds Of club rooms without H.
cense to sell them.
What are you going to blame that
on, Is 1t because we have prOhi )ition
in the u. 8. A.?
SO, gentlemen, you mignt M well
come out In your true colorS and hay
you want your whisky, beer and wine.
II II too hard TO get now and Costs too
much and IL 20 much bother to make;
you are getting tired Of that, no you
want the law repealed, because
you are not willing to sacrifice your
appetite for your country.
might see some excuse for the
Doctor Whose name | was sorry to
see among the LIST because he ia prob.
ably very tired of being annoyed for
prescriptions for beer, etc. for the
health, as ! heard one man bothered
him 10 often for a prescription for
whiskey for the toothache.
would like to inform all men with
the toothache that Bel Air has two
specialists for that trouble DR.. Hopkins
and DR. Warner.

Work TO START ON MT. ZION
SOON

Sunday afternoon members of Mt.
Zion NJ. T.. Church, at Fountain Green,
gathered on the grounds and agreed to
locate the proposed new structure
about 40 feet back Of the present
church. Plans have been tentatively
adopted for building 26 by 4S feet,
TO have belfry and modern basement.
1t is believed that by utilizing material
in the present building the new struc-
ture can be erected for approximately
$4,000. OF this amount nearly $34OO
has heep pledged. An additional parse
is being raised for memorial window
in honor of the IL boys who went "a
war from that community.
1t is probable that work will start
the first of the week, the first under
taking being TO remove the wall In
front of the church. In order TO make
the church and cemetery grounds har'
monte the whole bank will be given

REAL CLEAN UP OF BOVINE TU-
BERCULOSIS IN HARTFORD
Some Communities Reaping The
Benefits

A telephone call from Baltimore
headquarters announces that u real
area campaign against bovine tubercu-
losis will be launched in Hartford next
week. Six additional inspectors have
been assigned for the work, making
eight In all with DIR. Criswell in charge.
The demand for tests and retests in
Hartford has been tremendous all
spring, but the work has been held up
by lack of indemnity funds. Now
Maryland has voted 100000 for each of
two years and the Federal government
has met this amount. In view of the
fact that Hartford is one Of the two
counties in the state to cooperate fl
nancially with the work, she will be
given the preference in the initial cam
paign. While the sum available seems
large these funds have invariably been
exhausted before the year was out so
that wise dairymen will Immediately
grasp the present opportunity. Those
desiring the test should phone DR.. Girls
well at the County Agents office with
out delay.
Farmers may help the work very
materially by furnishing transporta-
ton for the inspectors and having their
stock close to stables. Quite frequent
ly serious delays are caused by cows
being away on pasture.
Al a recent meeting held In Darling
ton the farmers voted to Immediately
test all cows in that community and
on June LIST start truck to Baltimore
hauling nothing but milk from tuber-
culin tested cows. A special customer
has been procured TO handle this spec
ial product, In order to promote this
tneerprise the inspectors will put their
first efforts on the Darlington Section.
At Pylesville u Grade A milk plant
Is being erected, which in addition to
other qualifications carries with it the
requirement OF tuberulin test. This
milk will 30 to Grade A plant In Bal
tinore.
II Ia believed by owners of tested
stock in Hartford that once the county
Is cleaned up they can demand prem
ium for their product which will out
weigh any loss that may have been In
Cured.
