The Exaggeration
of Evil
By DIR. FRANK CRANE.

The ruins of anything make upon
the mind more of an impression OF
largeness. Of grandeur and sub
Unity than the thing itself. 1t Is
because our imagination Is more
powerful to awaken sentiments of
wonder in us than is our vision. To
paraphrase Maud Muller, "Of all de-
cepttye words of tongue or pen, the
most SO are these: 1t might have
been"
We hear of a drunkard-"What a
gifted fellow he was! If 1t had not
been for drink. he might have been
President" Ten 20 one had he stayed
sober he would have been as COM
monplace as you or !. The fact that
he Is wreck gives our imagination
a chance.
So of an old woman we exclaim:
What beauty she must have been
In her youth" Yet, doubtless, all
around us are girls more charming
than she ever was, but we only see
old woman's gone beauty with the
minds eye.
Horace Bushnell has a sermon on
The Dignity of Humanity as Shown
by It's Ruins" in which he strikingly
shows the divine nature of man by
tortures. monster passion and perver-
IONS; the argument being that none
but a divine-sized creature could fall
so low. But 1t seems to me the rea-
soning is tainted with error; for we
should beware Of the estimate made
by the fancy.
The temples of Karnak and Luxor.
dare say, seem more Impressive to
our imagination. stirred by their aw-
ful remnants, than they would have
seemed to US had we lived then. We
cannot possibly see anything so tre-
mendous as what we can fancy we
might see.
We are prone to magnify evil and
minimize good. The one wrong thing
we did during the day. Our outburst
OF passion. OF instance of bad judg-
ment occupies our mind at evening
more than all the good things we did.
Newspapers think that the horrible
and criminal and scandalous make
better news than the normal and sane
and gentle.
The oath attracts more attention
than a good word.
The woman with past" is fasci-
mating.
Somehow or other we have linked
evil and greatness together. But we
are wrong.
Emerson says: Fools wonder at
the extraordinary, while wise men
wonder at the ordinary"

Farmer Pinched
but Not Radical,
Wallace States
Secretary Says East Has Self
ish Interest in Aiding Re-
turn of Prosperity to
Farmer.

Boston, Aug. 25.-Tne farmer Is
"the last man in the nation to lend
himself to what we call radical ad-
ministration in political and govern
mental matters" says Secretary of
Agriculture Henry c. Wallace in an
article published in the Boston Trans
cript today.
"But he is suffering from terribly
adverse economic conditions. He is
under the harrow and he is trying to
find some way to get out. 1t is gener-
ally recognized now that the farmer Is
at the base Of our national. life: that
we cannot have permanent national
prosperity unless there is a fairly
prosperous agriculture. We have had
that fact driven home to us during the
past two years. Consequently the
great Industrial east has very def
mite. selfish interest in doing what
it can to restore prosperous conditions
on the farm"
Secretary Wallace says that the
farmer. while urging a reduction in
freight rates does not want them put
so low that the railroad will not re-
ceive enough to cover all proper costs
Of operatin and in addition to give a
fair return nthe money invested.
Neither does the farmer want gov.
ernment operation OF the railroads"

The situation is still SO clouded
that nothing sensational was ex.
pccted, but IL was noted that the
chancellor avoided every sharp
word against France. and an
nounced in moderate terms that
his foreign policy would be di-
rected toward finding way TO
reach nm understanding"
stresemann rejected every idea
that the Rhine or Ruhr can be
regarded as pawns. but also de.
clared flatly that Germany il
ready to make every effort TO
meet its obligations. The feeling
in Berlin is already more opti.
mistic.
