Editorial Comment
The Town Bully

Every small-town school has its
bully. He sticks out his chin. jeers
at his smaller mates and occasionally
beats up a weaker boy. He lords it
over his school by sheer arrogance
A coward at heart, he blubbers like
a baby when a real fighter puts
up his fists.
Our intelligentsia have developed
new type of bully in the last few
years, the intellectual bully, who
thinks 1t is an important career to
jeer at common beliefs and cen
victions and. terrorize the less agile
Of mind by his flying adjectives. 1t
seems to be MI. Sinclair Lewis 5
latest ambition to qualify in this
group. His remarks at Kansas City
| have no especial Importance for their
content. They have Significance as
| they register Ehis attitude. They
are typical of much that masquerades
| under the name of intellectual and
it is minor duty of scavergery to
drop them in the right ash can.
The parallel with the burly cow
ard who terrorizes an alley, block,
a school or town is totally un
prepared to defend his beliefs with
| his intellectual fists. AS matter of
| fact, if they are true religious be-
| liefs they cannot be established by
| logic alone, for the clear reason
that they rest not on reason but
on emotional conviction. Most phi
| losophers now realize and accept
this fact. Only a few sophomore
modernists stil think there is fatal
warfare between science and relig-
| ion.
Judging by the dispatches from
Kansas City Mr.. Lewis thought he
| was annihilating religion by his
F, defiance of the Deity to strike him
dead. He was, in fact giving an
amazing exhibition of bad taste, in
sulting and shocking to every reliS-
ious mind. In putting up his fists
and thrusting out his chin IN the
face of religion MIR. Lewis won just
about as cheap a victory as does the
average bully of the schoolyard.
A keen observer and skillful
| novelist. Mr.. Lewis has contributed
valuable and realistic pictures to the
American record. Yet throughout
his books has run the same thread
of contempt for the common mind
that has now led him wholly astray-
There was a failure to appreciate
the fineness of character that dwells
along Main Street and inspires even
so stodgy figure as Rabbit. Such
consciousness of superiority based

habit and emotion and fresh resolve
that keeps human beings driving
forward in the face of every obstacle,

PAIN FOREVER
No Need to Suffer Another Day
Those Agonizing T0rtur-
ing Pains.

There Is one simple yet inexpen-
sive way to reduce indamed, swol-
len toe joints and get them down to
normal and that is to apply Moone's
Emerald Oil night and morning and
people who suffer from such enlarge
ments would be wise to reduce them
before they reach . more or less
chronic stage.
Ask any first class druggist for an
original two-ounce bottle Of Moone's
Emerald Oil (full strength) and re.
fuse to accept anything in it's place.
1t is such q highly concentrated
preparation that two ounces last. a
long time and furthermore, if this
wonderful discovery does not give you
complete satisfaction you can have
your money refunded.
Special note: People who want to
reduce swollen or varicose veins
should get bottle Of Emerald OH
at once. Applied night ana morning
as directed they will quickly notice an
improvement which will continue UNI
til the veins and punches are reduced
to normal.

Then, again starting off the lucky

ENCOURAGING SCIENTIFIC RE-
SEARCH

We marysl--or did until our
imaginations became calloussd BY
constant use-at the wonders science
has revealed to the world. But do
We feel under obligation on account
Of the fruits Of It which we employ
for our own comfort and conven.
fence? Most Of us. we assume, do not.
This attitude IL not because Of .
desire to shirk responsibility 90
much n on account Of lack Of
comprehension a. to just what that
responsibility may be.
Our welfare Is closely dependent
on the work Of scientists If we but
appreciate all that Is involved. In
this country industry has been
acquiring the services Of scientific
minds for its own development. 1t
has not concerned itself whether
there be scientists left free and able
patiently to devote themselves to re-
search for the sake Of the truth
rather than for the advantage Of an
Industry.
| It Is very essential that the
laboratories shall not be drained
dry of the research workers. ~ then
industry itself would have nowhere
to look for Its supply Of them, and
the demand is constantly on the
increase. Likewise there is an In.
crease in the number Of those, who
would if they could employ them
selves in such pursuits, but neither
the facilities nor the inducements
for their doing so are adequate.
| In this situation the far-sight Of
Herbert Hoover comes to assistance
urging great industrial corporations
to contribute a twenty-million dollar
fund for the development OF pure
science, the getting at the truth fol
the truths sake. This is character
istic Of the man, and IL is compli'
mentary to the minds Of those II
charge of the great corporations
that they perceive the need and are
willing to aid. So, after q time, u
may not be said of this country thai
it is among the most backward II
neglect Of scientific research.
