Creating a New World
BY Cooperative Production

the Plumb plan Of railway control es-
Poused BY two and one-half million A.
mencan railroad employees. It is the
essence Of The proposal Of the 500. 900
United Mine Workers to end anarchy
IN the coal industry forever by operat-
ing the mines of the country for service
and not for profit. The men who do
the work Of the world are demanding
not only just wages and security Of en-
Ployment they are demanding that de-
mocracy be applied 10 Industry as
well as to government, that they have
voice in the direction Of the enter
prise IN which they have invested all
that they are and have-their labor
and their lives.
The supreme interest of men in life
IS not measured by what they consume,
but by what they produce. As CON
sumner man is on level with all other
forms of animal life. Like the pig at
the trough he can only consume SO
much and then he is thru. AS a pro
Queer. man exercises the highest talents
intrusted to him by his Maker-the Gre
alive instinct, the desire to produce.
This is what differentiates man from
brutdom. II has been his crowning glory
in all ages. Il is the basis of civiliza-
ton, of art of religion, of all that has
enriched and inspired the life Of the
human race. Valuable as consumers
cooperation is in reducing the cost of
the physical and material needs of life,
!, it is restricted and conditioned on every
side by the material limitations upon
man as a consumer. Its ultimate goal
lis a social order in which production
and distribution would be controlled by
a gigantic consumers trust dominating
all industries and determining what
goods should be made and who should
make them The aim of producers CO.
operation is to give control Of the in
dustries and professions to the men
who actually do the work, who know
better than anyone else how to operate
them efficiently, and whose purpose
is not merely to turn out the cheapest
possible product for the consumer,
but the creation Of the Best and finest
product that human ingenuity and de-
votion can devise. just as man find
their souls not in what they eat, but in
what they create, SO will men find the
long sought era of brotherhood not in
saving pennies on their purchases, but
in the dedication of their highest abili-
itch TO the satisfaction of the wants

The workers have built all the fine

Everyone in Llano Colony practical
~ elects himself to tie work he engag-
es in. AT least everybody IS given a
chance to do that as far as Tie present
facilities Of the Colony make it posi-
bic. The idea IS that what anyone is
really interested in, loves and prefers
Ito do, will also call forth his best eff
forts and give the most satisfactory re-
suits oil around. When a lot Of peo-
pie have been engaged in harmonious
teamwork for years, have found each
other dependable and learned through
practical experience how to cooperate
together successfully fer mutual bene-
fit, they no longer suspect each other
of Interior motives when one or more
of them advocate some added innova-
ton that they believe viii improve the
association of the colonists. Taking
a snapshot judgment at such propo-
sition and imputing wrong motives IS
not showing the right spirit, and gives
evidence Of failure 10 understand the
colonists' characters.
People cannot learn how to cooper
ate out III competition. When new
conner arrives from the outside world,
he enters upon an entirely new exper-
fence. Out in the competitive world
everyone has to look out for himself
in opposition to everyone else, while
in this colony every working member
is provided with everything within the
resources of the organization that he
may need. There is no occasion for
selfish solicitude. no need Of trying to
gain an advantage over one another.
The interests of all colonists are identi-
cal and not antagonistic to one anoth-
Ter. No one is benefited at the expense
of another. Everyone is treated alike
and all fare alike. There is no favor
itism. 1t is a working democracy. The
results that are accomplished are the
compensation for the cooperative
work, neither more nor less. The in
tercou-se and the association that the
co-operators experience depends upon
the attitude and conduct Of each indi-
vidual colonist.
Knowink the state Of mind Of the,
newcomer, and having undergone the
Transforming discipline that changed
them from competitors into co-opera-
tors, is there anything wrong when the
colonists plan to adopt systematic ed

rate knowledge. Whenever the mind is
occupied with such definite and AL
curate knowledge il can forecast and
bring about all ideals that are essential
and Of utmost Importance to human
wellbeing and 10 the satisfaction Of ev-

feet expression and manifestation. No

That is the fact that the mental science
class at Llano aims to drive home into
the minds of its students. Something
that can be learned only be patient
study. Anything and everything can
be accomplished and done when one
learns patiently, persistently and thor

RESPONSIBLE FOR CONDITIONS


In an advertisement in the 1921 De-
cember Nautilus. " Holyoke, Mass, the
head Of a mental science correspond
ence school has one Walt LIE NOR
Church give the following laudatory
boost in favor Of this particular school:
I have been here long enough to find
that while all other systems Of thought
are concerned chiefly with the manip-
ulation Of things, the M. K. system is
interested in THE CAUSES whereby
conditions are created. For this reason
it is universal and unlimited. 1t is the
key to every system Of thought in ex-
istence, either ancient or modern, reli-
gious OF philosophical. occidental or
oriental 1t is THE KEY which is be-
ing USED BY THE STRONG PEOPLE
of the earth, those who no not believe
in the virtue Of poverty, or the beauty
of self-denial."
When attended the first lesson on
mental science in the Colony visitor
present thought it was unwise to. pay
any attention to the subject because he
had been creditably informed that psy-
chology and mental science were stud
iel chiefly for the purpose Of imposing
upon, influencing, and deluding people
in order to separate them from their
money or other property. One of nv
mental science teachers almost quar-
ter of a century ago told me that one
could impose upon and tell the com
mon run Of people almost anything and
1t would be believed. Now, if the
knowledge and use of mental influ-
ence is such subtle weapon through
which one may be imposed upon, de-
spoiled and enslaved. should not ordin-
AIRY precaution dictate the wisdom of
studying this very subject in order that
one may learn 10 protect himself from
being victimized by it, and how to use
it constructively for the common well

Things. forces and processes in ma

of supreme Importance to every human
being who aspires to lead rational
and useful life.

achievements in world betterment could
be realized in a comparatively short

The hooded head of the Ku Klux Elan has made its appearance in the world of 1ports, according to reports from Alabama and to It's activities is laid the recent resignation of Mike ponahue. for 10 years athletic direc- tor at Alabama Polytechnic Institute at Auburn.
 Donahue, native Of Norwich.

 The little New England boy, who played sub quarter at Yale. was a forward on the Blue basketball team and an outfielder on the nine, after changing his decision still felt the pressure of the Klansnlen. it ia re- ported, and finally determined to change his residence.
 Donahue was recently elected prcsi- dent of the Southern Coaches asso- ciation. He has under consideration other offers to coach in Dixie institu- tions, but 1t is thought that he may come up beyond the Mason and Dixon line.

ORDERED TO MARLIN
Manager McGraw Will Have His Pitchers Work Out on Old Training Grounds in February.

New York, Dec. 27. = Marlin Springs, Tex, which was deserted by the Giants in 1919 after they had trained there for a decade, will see the uniform of the New Yorks again in 1928. There will be revelry again in the old Arlington, and perhaps with John McGraw away, the old 'possum hunt in the wee sma' hours and the badger fight of the Doyle Fletcher Merkle era of colorful memory will be revived, to the discontinue of some of the more credulous rockies
 That the Giants were going back to the Texas spa was announced by McGraw when he issued a. call to every pitcher on his roster to report there on February 22. The hurlers will work at Marlin for nine days and then head for the main squad at San Antonio, which is scheduled to start work on March 1. McGraw expects about 20 players at the Springs and they will work under the direction of Cozy Dolan, who, by the way, has been reengaged for next year. The Giants still own the ball park at Mar lin.
 There will be two catchers to work the pitchers. One will be Anderson, a youngster drafted from Beaumont, and the other Joe Casey, a veteran who has seen service with the Wash irgton and Detroit clubs and now is rusticating at Wakefield. Mass. The rotund, jolly MT. Case, as Hughey Jennings calls him, has been recom- rnended strongly by Hughey and was advised that he had been engaged as coach of young pitchers

MAY HELP SCOTT
Shifting of Yankees to New Park Will, It is Believed, Improve Ever ctt's Playing.

New York, Dec. 27.-The shifting of the Yankees from the Polo Grounds to their new park nearby may prove to be life saver for Shortstop Everett Scott.
 The iron man of the game had a very ordinary year of it in 1922. He appeared to have slowed up a step or two. He was just failing to reach hits that few years ago would have been easy chances.
 Scott was very frank to admit that the infield at the Polo Grounds was his biggest handicap. The diamond there is lightning fast. The infeld at Boston, where he starred for years, was always slow.
 The shift to fast diamond late in his career worked havoc with his play.
 It takes years to produce fast in field. It is cinch that the dia- mond at the new Yankee park will be slow for at least three years. All of which may prove Scott's salvation.
