To the Editor of The Star:

The Only Book Never Off the Press

Four hundred and sixty seven years
ago the first book was printed from
movable type. That book was the
Bible and it took five years to complete
the task. One of these books sold
recently for $4,000. Today great
presses printing for the American Bible
Society are turning off copies of the
Gospels at the rate of 10000 an hour
to be sold anywhere in the whole world
for one cent each. In the intervening
years the Bible has never been off the
press. 1t has had steady run for
more than four centuries. Yet if all
the Bibles printed in all the years since
printing was invented were available
today, there would not be enough to
supply the worlds present population
The present rate of production of Bibles
is not as great as the birth rate.
Large portions of the population of the
world are still unable to get the whole
Bible or even main part in their
native tongue.

A Contrast.

Ihe citizen who stands on the street
corner, with his hands stuffed down in
his pockets, his shoulders stopped and a
sneer on his face. is of no value to anv
community.
He is the fellow who says the fire
department doesn't know how to fight
fire, and tells how it ought to be done
But he never lends hand.
He is the fellow who complains about
the ruts in the streets, but he hasn't
paid any taxes for years and of course
doesn't help keep them in condition.
He is the fellow who finds fault with
the public schools and the teachers,
but never did anything in his life to
improve the schools.
He is the fellow who condemns
everything and sees no good in any.
thing.
You all know him and his type. The
sooner he leaves US, the sooner we will
be able to move forward.
Contrast him with the citizen who is
booster and may be counted Non to
help every worthy cause.
This type of citizen pays his debts
and his taxes, stands for everything
that is for the betterment of the place
where he lives and never allows his en-
thusiasm for his home town to lag.
He is an asset to any community.
1t is men of his class who are respons-
ible for all of the improvements that
are made. We owe it to him that we
have as good streets as we do, that
our school system is as modern as it is
and that we live in place that we can
boast of to our friends.
Classify yourself and see which class
you belong to, which type you match.
If you belong to the former, it's time
for rejuvenation. If you belong to the
latter more power to you.

Regulating Business.

No less an authority than
Thomas R. Marshall, former vice.
president Of the United States, told
convention Of insurance men
that publicity was the only anti.
dote for meddlesome regulatory
legislation.
He recognized the tendency of
legislatures and the congress to
regulate in every possible way, all
classes of business.
People are beginning to react un-
iavorably to it. State and federal
governments have meddled in pri-
vate business SO long that they are
no longer able to attend to their
own.
There are just two kinds of men
in the world. One kind is honest
and the other kind is dishonest
The later should he sent to the
penitentiary and the former should
be permitted to conduct their bus
mess unmolested. In this manner
the states and federal government
can deal with dishonest business
without trying to rule all business
regardless of whether it is good Oh
bad. .... -s.
