LESSON OF SHINES LIFE

It is not given to man to plumb the
depth of another human mind, how
ever shrewd the soundings. This we
know, that no man judged even by
mortal standards, is wholly bad. In
all there exists the spark of love and
unselfishness which needs but the
may see. But to the world at large
the German financier, Hugo SHINES,
seemed nothing but sinister and a
repulsive figure. Rising to the top, on
the widespread ruin of his nation and
the dire distress of it's people, he seiz-
ed upon that moment to enrich him
self, perhaps beyond the power of
man to compute. He was not modest
in his estimate of his own aggrandize-
ment, but proclaimed himself the rich
est man in the world, and prophesied
the time when he would not only own
all of Germany, but all of Austria
as well.
To what extent he was the product
of the distressed conditions in Ger
many, or to what degree he was their
cause, cannot at the present moment
be estimated. Unquestionably he had
brought the art of profiting, by the
progressive decline in the value of the
mark, to an exact system. He knew
how to purchase at today's values and
pay in the currency of six months
hence sum equal to perhaps one ten
thousandth of what the property pur-
chased was worth. And so he gath
cred into his possession banks and
newspapers, hotels and theaters, pub

NOT WILL OF MAJORITY

Italy's recent election, with its
Fascist sweep, can hardly be regard
ed as an expression Of the will of the
Italian people, as it was held under
an electoral law especially designed
to assure victory for the Fascist
party. The entire country was declar-
ed a single election district and the
Fascist list had only to receive one
quarter Of the total number of votes
to become entitled to three-fourths of
all the seats.
This is hardly an example of ma
jority rule, as it is known in the dem
ocratic nations and with the election
machinery in the hands of the Fascis-
ii, coupled with their well known rec
ord of brutal itimidation, there could
be little doubt Of the result of the
election" Apparently the only rea-
son the Fascist held the Election
was to give Premier Mussolini and his
dictatorship the outward aspect of
constitutionality.

HERE'S HOW 1T GOES

Here is the way the economic con-
ditions of America measure up when
it comes to the distribution of wealth.
The figures are prepared by one of
the biggest concerns in America, and
used as an advertisement. The unit
is one hundred men, starting at the
age of rs years, all on an equal plane.
Study this table:
At age Of 25-100 men start out,
equal.
At age of $40 years later: S
have died, 10 have become wealthy; 10
are well to do; 40 live on their earn
ings; 35 show no improvement.
At age of 45-20 years later: 16
have died; is wealthy: 3 are we'll to
do; 65 live on their earnings; Is are
no longer self-supporting but are be-
ing cared for by relatives, or charity.
At age of $50 years later: 20
have died; 1 is wealthy; 8 are we'll to
do; live on their earnings, and 80
are not self-supporting, but are be-
ing cared for by relatives or charity.
At age of $40 years later: 36
have died; I is wealthy; a are we'll
to do; 5 live on their earnings, and 81
are not self-supporting, and are cared
for by relatives or charity.
Estate at death of the original 100
men: leaves wealth; 2 leaves COM
fort; Is leaves estates valued at from
$4,000 to $4,000; 80 leave nothing.
Would you say, "Well, they all had
an equal start. If one got rich and
the balance failed, whose fault was
it?

HOOVER FOR CONSCRIPTION

Herbert Hoover, testifying before
the house military affairs committee,
has shown that he is not satisfied
with anything less than full conscrip-
tion. He would put "war industries"
under an individual administrator
and would make the president dicta-
tor in time of war; He would en-
power the president to "fix prices,
wages, transportation charges :. =. =.
and to suspend habeas corpus and
have generally complete and absolute
authority in all ramifications over
the whole civilian life, with the pro-
vision that he may delegate the au-
thority through various agencies.
81 would favor trial by court mar
tial for violations of any of the de-
crees made by the president or his
agencies in pursuance of such powers
vested in the president or delegated
by him. The law would naturally as
sumo that every person is recruited
into the service of the government,
and court martials would necessarily
be the means of enforcing it."

lie service corporations, great indus
trial institutions, every possible eX-
ample of industrial activity or of fl
nancial accumulation.
And what has come of it after all :?
There may be those who love Hugo
Stinnnes, but their voices are not
raised above the general chorus of
suspicion and dislike. His name is
identified with no movement for the
restoration of Germany to the posi-
ton of self-respecting independence
among nations, but rather he has ap-
peared as a stubborn obstacle in the
pathway of any movement for the
correction of conditions out Of which
he was busily building his colossal
fortune. To him, more than to any
other international figure of recent
date, may be applied that parable in
Scripture which reads:
And he spake parable unto them,
ma brought forth plentifully:
AID he thought within himself, say
ing, What shall | do, because | have
no room where to bestow my fruits
And he said, This will l do: l will
pull down my barns, and build great
er; and there will l bestow all my
fruits and my goods.
And will say unto my soul, Soul,
thou hast much goods laid up for
many years; take thine ease, eat,
drink and be merry.
But God said unto him, Thou fool,
this night thy soul shall be required
of thee: then whose shall those things
be, which thou hast provided?
So is he that layeth up treasure for

TOOL OF BIG PACKERS

Secretary Wallace is a tool of the
Big Five Chicago meat packers, and
he has filled his department with men
who sympathize with the packers
rather than with the farmers or the
consumers, according to Benjamin C.
Marsh, of the Farmers National
Council, testifying before a house
committee. Marsh said that Wallace's
conduct might be ascribed to ignor-
ance, "or otherwise" since Wallace
has been publisher of a farm maga-
zine and ought to know the facts dis
closed by the federal trade commits
sion.

ATTERBURY IN 1T TOO

W. w. Atterbury, general manager
Of the Pennsylvania Railroad, is asso-
ciated with the General Electric in
terests in the Hooker bid for Muscle
Shoals, which is sponsored by Sena-
tor Wadsworth of New York.
Atterbury has informed the senate
committee in charge Of the bill that
the electric power to be generated at
the Shoals can be used to produce
steel cars by new process, cheaper
than any now used.
The committee is unfavorable to
any of the private bids, and is likely
to block the sale or lease Of the power
plant.

WHAT ABOUT YOUR JOB?

We've heard boys worrying about
their jobs = afraid that something
might throw them out of employment
We've heard grown men doing the
same. 1t is worry no man should
have, because he can arrange things
so that the thought of being discharg-
ed will never enter his mind. It's
easy. When you get a job, behave as
if the business belonged to you.
Think about it. Don't skimp your
work, but figure that the more you
give your employer the more you give
yourself. Do that, and the word fired
will never enter your head.

HARRY HAS BEEN ABUSED

1t is now discovered that H. M.
Daugherty has been a much-malign-
ed man.
Recently he gave out an interview
in Washington stating that he never
grated, hasn't taken a drink, knows
no bootleggers, vigorously prosecuted
all war cases and in general has been
burning the bright lights for the sole
purpose of studying ways and means
to save the taxpayers money.
It's a shame the way the poor
fellow has been misunderstood. Of
course, since Daugherty has said it
isn't true, all the testimony showing
him to be one of the most corrupt of
ficials in the history of the nation
will have to be stricken out.

Threats of continuation of the

it begins to look like the legislative

with the wish Of the President. The
House, of course, is far ahead Of the
Senate, but leaders in the upper
chamber are cracking the whip and
pushing things along at a greater
speed. The tax reduction bill is the
Senate's chief business, but it will be
laid aside occasionally so that other
measures may be acted upon.

Disagreements among officials of
different Government Departments as
to the method of procedure is as much
to blame for difficulties in prohibition
enforcement as anything else. Evi-
dence in most cases is gathered by
federal prohibition agents, under the
Treasury Department, and the prose
cutions are carried on by the Depart
ment of Justice. Whenever the
assistants to the Attorney General
fail to make a case against a boot
logger they blame the Treasury De
partment for not furnishing the prop
er evidence. The pickering back anc
forth has gone to the extent Of De
partment Of Justice officials protest
ing even against seizures of liquor
because they are afraid they woulC
not be able to convict those charged
with violation of the law.
