CAN 1T!

The New York World, one of the
leading Democratic newspapers of the
country and supporter of Governor
Smith, in an editorial published Sep
TENDER 25, 1928, thus condemns the
publicity methods resorted to by the
Democratic National committee:
For several days now the DEM
ocratic National Committee in
Washington has been digging up
old bones and displaying tllem
with gusto. These treasures con-
sist of remarks made by various
Republican statesmen, either in
the ancient past or the recent
past, which are highly unfatter-
ing to Mr.. Hoover. Some of them
are not only very old but very
cheap and very silly. 1t is diff
cult to tell from the manner in
which this material is published
just when the Democratic Com
mittee is quoting some Republi-
can and when it is adding some
brilliant footnote of its own, but
IN either case there are references
here to Mr.. Hoover which are
both unfair and vulgar. He is de-
scribed, for example, as "quak-
ing Quaker in the war" and as
''the fat candidate from Picca-
dilly."
For the Democratic National
Committee to peddle such stuff is
indecent, stupid and contempt
bic.
If this is the best the commit
tee can do, it had better shut up
it's shop and go home.

The environment Is wildly beautiful, the fishing Of

have remembered the good times they had last year,
out in the Black Hills Of South Dakota, where men
are men and boy preachers eloquent, and decided that
they would try the west again, although this time tbs

has been about oil and the republican party!

This sort Of thoughtful preparation Is one Of the

Patience in waiting for good weather may be difficult

Men and Machinery

A man writes 10 a newspaper that he drinks the
only fair way to settle the question p to whether
machines do provide work for the men they displace
would be for someone TO follow through the manu-
facture Of one Of these abor-saving devices. He wants
statistics to show whether the men displaced by the
machine are needed to mine the extra ore required, to
manufacture the machines themselves. to service them
manufactured.
As a rule the replacement is not SO simple. The
men dismissed are apt 20 lack the training required
Cor the skilled processes Of making. servieing or selling
the machines themselves. Their next jobs may be in
unrelated industries. Yet By and large they do find
work again and better paid work, as the history Of the
nations industry proves.
Bat following through and finding out just what
happens. and telling about il as a story Of human in
terest and not merely as q matter Of curves and dry
figures. ought to be an attractive task for some good
writer with a taste for investigation. Perhaps the mar
who wrote his little piece to the paper has started
something.

The World and All

By Charles r. Driseoll

There come great moments to all Of u. Moments
when happiness or JOY or admiration 80 transform and
inspire US that we seem to stand outside OF ourselves
and forget the existence 81 our bodies and our cares.
The Greeks invented this excellent word, ecstasy, rs a
name for this condition of spiritual exaltation. 1t
means. literally, standing outside. The Greeks per-
ceived that in an ecstasy Of Joy or happiness or other
emotion, we seem to stand outside Of ourselves, and
the body appears TO 20 about its business without much
direction from US. Thus, a person in an ecstasy Of
love may walk homeward through snow and cold from
the home OF his beloved and keep on walking long Ter
he as passed his street. He Is beside himself. Out
side Of himself. He is. as we say. "up in the clouds.
He pays little attention to what his body is doing. and
the body, left without intelligent direction, walks on
through the cold night, although il may be very tired.
The person in ecstasy will come to himself after a
while. He will take possession OF his body again and
send it back on the right road, and 50 to bed.
Some persons rarely experience ecstasy, while to
others this exalted state il a more or less constant
means Of inspiration and consolation. II il not unusual
for writers and studious persons to be ecstatic. The
person who meditates in a search for truth is likely
to be struck "all in a heap as we say, by a sudden
access Of intellectual or spiritual light. He may
think and mediate for years. in search Of a clue 20
some important truth, and all Of a sudden the path be-
comes clear to him. He may then act in such manner
that his ~neighbors will think him crazy.
Saul. the young lawyer Of Tarsus. had been think
ing very hard about some cases he was prosecuting.
He was on his way to Damascus on professional bust
ness, when, we are told, he was suddenly struck almost
blind and dumb BY the light Of spiritual truth. In g
religious ecstasy. Saul was beside himself. and pres
emily found his body picking itself up off the high
way. The body had fallen off the horse or donkey on
which Saul had been riding. Had the poor fellow been
driving an automobile at the time he was thus stricken,
he probably would have been killed by running the
car into. the ditch, and humanity would he poorer by
some wonderful letters.
On a later occasion. Saul. who had changed his name
TO Paul, was making a speech before King Agrippa, and
one Of his old companions interrupted him to say,
Thou art beside tbyself. Much learning hath made
thee mad!r And that wasn't such a dumb observation
as you might think. Par! was beside himself in 4
fervor of oratory and religious zeal. He was often il
a condition Of ecstasy, as are some Of our most force
full and most Misunderstood men Of all ages.

Water

A super-water system is being projected to serve
eight Ohio counties with water for domestic and indus-
trial use by drawing it from Lake Erie, boosting. II
over a 6O0-foot ridge. IL would be piped as much as
seventy miles from its source.
Most of it, after it had done its work Of turning
wheels and providing power, would be allowed to flow
sack into Lake Erie again.
The country has gotten used 70 large engineering
plans, and this one causes no great surprise. The ter
ritory which this proposes to serve is part OF the
great american Ruhr," reaching down southeast from
Cleveland through northeastern Ohio and northwestern
Pennsylvania to Pittsburgh. This section is under
going a period Of great Development. but II cannot g
very much farther without greater quantities Of water
than its own rivers can supply. Lake Erie seems an
obvious source.
The fact that most Of the water would get back into
he lake again. however. Is an important and necessary
feature. Communities-not 90 say countries-border-
ing on the Great Lakes are not disposed to allow the
levels to be lowered any farther. Sending the water
back filtered will also be important Slowly but surely
peoples are awaking to the necessity Of keeping their
waters pure.

The Presidents Vacation

President Coolidge has selected his summer White
House, and another lovely American scene, heretofore
little known, becomes world famous. This year the
president is seeking change and refrcshment in n good
sized bungalow on a little island in the Brule river ia
Wisconsin.
1t is said the Cedar Island Lodge is surrounded by
virgin stands Of pine and spruce. A beautiful, trout
filled river rushcs past on its way into Lake Superior.
A president can never wholly escape from his re-
sponsibilities. Into this lovely woodland haunt will 20
telegraph wires and a large corps Of office workers and
officials. The president will catch his fish and take
his rambles and drives accompanied not only by his
own body-guard but by newspaper men and photog-
raphers. He may have more convenicnces than his
fellow citizens on their vacation jaunts. But the latter
will have more privacy, il they want it.
