THE RUHR AND PROFITS

Leaving aside all the political questions
involved in the seizure Of the Ruhr by the
French, the economic outcome is the one
which is bound to command wide interest,
and particularly TO the theorists who be-
lieve in the distribution of wealth by force
or a capital levy, such as has been urged
by the Labor party of Great Britain. The
French claim to be actuated sby only one
purposc-to collect moneys, due them for
reparations which the German govern
ment says it cannot pay, and to take over
supplies OF coal and timber, which are
overdue.
The Ruhr region has been the workshop
of Germany, and apart from Silesia, which
has been lost to Germany, is her one re-
naming big coal and mineral region. The
great coal and iron masters OF Germany
SHINES, Thyssen and Krupp-have car
ried on their operations in the Ruhr. They
are what Carnegie and Prick were. prior
to the formation OF the United States
Steel and Bethlehem Steel Companies, as
applied to the Pennsylvania region. They
are privately owned properties, and
France can seize them byusing her arm
les and can, possibly, work them. Can
they make them pay: All the profits of
the United States Steel Company would
not pay for the upkeep of an army OF one
hundred thousand soldiers, if marched into
Pennsylvania, and the United States Steel
represents incomparably greater capital
and income than all the Ruhr operations.
The Selling OF wealth is one of the va
carries OF the dreamer. To shut down the
Ruhr may mean the collapse and ruin Of
Germany, as the blotting out of the indus
tries of Pennsylvania would provoke an
unprecedented panic in this country, under
like conditions Would that, however, aid
the invading country, in any way? France
has been looking for an orderly income
from her historic enemy, and as it does
not come in, as promised, she starts out
to foreclose on the principal source OF
Germany's wealth
1t all gets back to the question, what is
wealth? The capital assets of the United
| States have been estimated as high as
| three hundred billions OF dollars. These
are the fertile lands, the railways, fac
tories. mines and homes. The coal and
iron mines of Pennsylvania alone are rated
! high in billions. The iron and coal mines
of Texas, which careful estmaters claim
will some day be rated very high in value
are not even carried on the assessment
rolls for taxation. 1t resolves itself, there
fore, into the question as to the source OF
! income and wealth, and whether much Of

then there appears an exception to the
general rule that scientists and religious
teachers have no quarrel with each other,
but in such cases one may well conclude
that the warning OF Alexander Pope was
ignored-"A little learning is, a danger
Gus thing" Too, the exception is OF. the
spccious kind that proves the rule.
Among those who merely sip from the
Pierian Spring, lawmakers seem to be
the most numerous. Their supcrficlalty
is exposed Enthusiastically when they try
to talk in scientific terms. William Jcn-
nings Bryan, undoubtedly a great orator
in the vocal sense, made himself laugh
ing-stock for educated men the world
over when he betrayed such ineNcuSabIc
ignorance as to assume. and to teach, that
the theory of evolution means merely
mans descent from the monkey The
theory doesn't mean that at all; the
monkey" idea is simply one interprcta-
ton of the thcory-and an Interpretation
to which practical scientists pay little at
tcntion.
There is nothing theoretical about the
vital features of the so-called theory Of
evolution. The realm of theory is entered
only when attempts are made to account
for the beginning of life; and even such
attempts, when made intelligently do not,
or should not, destroy or even impair
ones religious faith. Between the dis
coverics of science and the vital clements
of what NAV be called standard religions,
there is no impossible gulf for the truly
educated. 1t is the difference in mere
terms that troubles the uneducated.
While politicians. referring to Padcre-
wski as a Russian baritone" expose their
ignorance more fully by assuming that
there is a conflict between scientists and
religious teachers, both science and re-
ligion, side by side, continue to promote
tie welfare of mankind.
Principles discovered by Darwin and
Wallace-the principles which in the ag-
grcgatc were defined by the theory OF
evolution" being put into daily
practice by scientists the world over
There is the principle OF mutation. for
example Its application enabled De Nrles
the Dutch botanist, to evolve many new
species OF roses. Working upon that
and other principles taken from the
Darwin theory" Luther Burbank has
wrought innumerable miracles" with
fruits and vegetables.
1t is such principles of everyday use
that Lawmakers are condemning wher
they try to forbid the teaching OF the
theory of evolution" in the public schools
They would put stop-unwittingly, Of
course-to the scientific breeding OF cat
tie They would conceal from future
generations of farmers the fact that agri
cultural crops of higher quality can BE-
produced by the proper selection of seeds
They would lay predicate. in ignorance
for the physical and mental deterioration
of the human rae. itself.

The Once Over
BY n, 1. PHILLIPS.
JACKIE COOGAN'S SALARY.

Jackie COogan has been Signeu up ny
a movie company for the present year
at salary of $JOO,O0O and 60 per cent
of the profit from every picture he
makes. As Harry Hirschfield would
remark, that's big money even II he
doesn't get it.
Jackie is 0 years old. He should be
one of tn ccOuntry's wealthiest retired
business men by the time he's l. or Ii.
At Is he should be granting inter
views TO Successful Americans" series
telling how he started life on a measly
fifty or sixty thousand year at the
age of Z, and was driven almost mad
BY income tax troubles before he had
put on long pants.
A few years ago Jackie was just a
boy with a sweet face and a craving
for pennies. His parents often trem-
bled, as all parents do, over the thought
of what responsibility he might prove.
Today all is changed. Looking at
Jackie and figuring out his annual in
come, their only regret is that he wasn't
twins. -.
The stork that delivered Coogan Jun
Tor was no mean provider.
Before he was years old Jackie
began to show a great head for figures.
and it is reported that in his first
year at school the teacher asked him
how much two and two made and
Jackie replied: Teacher, if you expect
me to worry about petty transactions
like that you're silly. Ask me some
thing in eight figures"
Of course, as any parent will APP
preciate, it has been no cinch raising
the lad. Even today his father forgetS
himself every now and then and says ::

to interest him during the last two
years in the nursery songs and stories
so appealing to most children. When
they want. for instance. to read him
the Bedtime Story they quote the clos
ing stock prices and read him a Henry
Clews letter.
You can't interest a boy with his
annual income in the Story of the Three

side was caught short on the market.

possibly thrill him. He's seen better

of times. and as for Little Red Rid.

is that it might be all right if a good
title writer got hold of it.
Spankings are. Of course. out of the
question. Jackie doesn't need them. but
