IL last night at the State
Playground. Sleek. naughty motor
cars, gay decorations. music, bright
lights, and record-breaking crowd,
were in attendance as usual-only
more so.
Fourteen years isn't a great span.
It's only about the time required for
light rays to travel from a nearby
star to earth or to pay for a fur
coat on the dollar-down- dollar-a-week
plan.
Yet cars Of fourteen years ago ap-
pear as ancient in design as Roman
chariots. dinosaurs, or other trans
portation vehicles used In the worlds
youth.
In the interval between the first
and present show the automotive In
dustry has grown up. No industry
except the late war-grew to such
gigantic size in so short a time.
But will 1t continue to expand?

Science of Tolerance

r~l HE Science of Tolerance. why
not? Isn't 1t about timer If
1 we try to get world peace by
going about IT scientifically, why not
adopt scientific methods for solving
other problems involving human re-
latons?
Most OF these problems cause con-
tention so long as they continue to
be wars Of conflicting opinions. When
we get down to facts opinions dis
appear-knocked out by facts.
If we had more respect for facts
we wouldn't be so intolerant in our
opinions. Every religion started
from one mans opinion. Each of
them today is that opinion as modi-
fed or enlarged by disciples of the
originator. One Of them may be
right. all of them may be partially
right and all of them may be par
TALLY wrong Nobody knows, no
matter how much he Is set In his
opinion.
If any fact Is to be found in all
Of them it would be something on
which all agree. SO there would be
no contention between creeds on
what is accepted as a fact.
Agree ON One Thing
Humans may disagree radically
about the respective merits OF Chris
tianity. Judaism. Confucianism,
Buddhism, Mohammedanism and
other established religions. but all
OF them seem to be agreed on one
fundamental rule of life as ideal-the
Goldsn Rule.
Confucius as teacher OF the
Chinese taught the Golden Rule 500
years before Christ was born. Christ
taught 1t in his time and started 1t
on its way throughout the world. No
religion disputes 1t. Science confirms
1t. II we we're looking for the
Science Of Tolerance we would start
with the Golden Rule.
We all agree now that when
Christ substituted the law of love for
the old Mosaic law OF an eye for an
eye and a tooth for a tooth,
humanity took an immense step for
ward; and most Of us can find in
SEPARATION In that beautiful story
about how Christ outwitted the cruel
Mosaic law Of stoning, and con-
founded his critics by saying, Let
him who is without guilt cast the
first stone"
The intolerance of the orthodox
churchmen OF that time toward the
advanced, progressive opinions Of
Christ led to his cr1acinxion. but gave
lie TO His opinion that God q love.

The depressing thing about Il all n
that nearly 1000 years after the
crucifixion of Christ there are SO
many professed Christians eager to
cruelty those who do not agree with
their opinions, both as to religious
and personal living.
1t is, this type that demands laws
to make others live as the intolerant
ones think they ought to live. 1t is
this type that wants to make peo-
pie be good by the force of a po-
hceman's club; and all because there
is a difference Of opinion as to what
Is good and what is evil conduct.
Who Knows Factsf
Who knows exactly what is good
and what is evil? Who knows. as a
fact. that his religious opinion In
right and that OF the other fellow
wrong? Who knows. as fact, that
what he thinks is good for him is
surely good for somebody else?
We may think we know what's
good for the other fellow; we may
nave very strong opinions about IT,,
but we don't know. We are wise In.
deed If we can be sure we know
what's good for ourselves. Any
how, finding that out is Job enough,
for any Of us 20 tackle without TAX
ing In too much territory and try
ing to force others to think and live
as we think they ought to think and

all Of us toward the truth about
right living and right thinking than /;
intolerance. The Golden Rule is the
nearest thing we have in the way
Of rule Of right conduct. and the
easiest and best approach toward the
Science of Living.
The Science Of Tolerance is worth

Golden Rule

n RTHUR NASH of Cincinnati,
TAI head OF a wholesale tailoring
Ill company, spoke at Roberts
Park M. Z. Church last night.
Golden Rule" Nash he is called be-
cause of his relations with his en-
ployes.
Six years ago he took over a gar
ment factory employing twenty-nine
workers. VT was typical sweat

hard-driven immigrants, toiling in
insanitary, porly ventilated rooms.
Strikes and fiuctuating business
caused frequent shutdowns.
In assuming charge of this I'M

spirit OF the Golden Rule should gov

actual partners.
The plan sounded chimerical-and
was chimerical-but it worked.
Today there are 5000 employees.
The company's capital has been in
creased from 100000 to $4,000, 600
the principal part of which is owned
by the workers-and each year the
business has doubled and trebled.
The result is a powerful argument
for treating workers as human be-
ings instead Of automatic machines.
Perhaps it can't be attributed entire
ly to a single rule of conduct. Prob
ably there is a good deal Of executive
ability and business sagacity mixed
in the enterprise.
Nevertheless. it indicates that in
teresting things might happen II the
Golden Rule became an epidemic in
stead Of an unused motto.

RI IA GRE has been a great deal of
talk to the effect that If Sen

/ wonder il the parties objecting
to this bill realize that humane so
cieties buy shoes and stockings, feed
and clothe the little children. pro-
vide food, coal and clothing for'those
who might be depending on those
children for their livelihood and
make 1t possible for those children

You ask, chow can such incompetent men be-

earning living by POOLING OTHERS.
The donkey in this picture fools the poor pnno
camel. He thinks real camel is leading him. The
political donkey, of no account mentally fools the
poor blind voters into the belief that they are leo
by genuine statesman.
And as you read in the parable of Safed the
Sage, those that appear to lead are not leaders at
ALL The leader among the camels, as among poll
ticians, OFTEN STANDS IN THE BACK
GROUND OUT OF SIGHT and drives the pro-
cession along.
The United States sees procession Of this
kind in almost any election, and just at this par
ticular moment New York, biggest and richest OF
all American cities, has just such a camel pro-
cession as this in the political line.
The real driver Of the caravan, the big finan-
cier with his millions at stake has in the adroit
use Of money "goad" with which he drives on
his servants. This New York "camel driver" is
scheming to bleed the people to the tune of sixty
or one hundred and twenty millions year more
by raising street car fares.
The driver among the human camels is not
seen. He stays in the background. The donkey

that leads the procession for him is the editor
whom he owns. The blind camel and the followers
behind him are the voters following one behind the
other.
With the aid of donkey and blind camel
the owner of desert caravan can make his for
tune and retire soon the dull stupid cames carry
ing the heavy loads convinced that everything is
right.
With his tame editors, subservient to his will,
obedient to his cash and the third rate politicians
whose word is worth less than the 'hee -haw' of a
cheap donkey, the financial driver can often make
a fortune and retire with more money than he
knows what to do with.
The country will watch the election in New
York this FALL with donkey leading one pro-
cession, the blind camel and the other camels fol-
lowing and high finance directing. It will be very
interesting to see whether the caravan of cunning
graft, prodding from behind and political ASST
ninity leading in front, reaches its destination.
Fortunately for the intelligence of New York
City it is safe to predict that not all the voters but
only small MINORITY of them, will enter the
caravan procession and trundle along voting to
tax themselves to please the intelligent, financial
camel driver.
AS with camels and donkeys, so with men in
a hundred directions
In business you see men following one behind
the other; in industrial methods it is the same
ninety nine times out of a hundred.
In fashion, it's entirely so. Foolishness well
