SOCIETY

OON4G L
TN the midst OF this attack upon
l. religion, Lucretius finds time for
many diversions in many fields OF
science; and it is astonishing what
a range he covers. and how sound is
his varied erudition.
AS he enters upon Book Fifth we
imagine ourselves listening to some
expert in anthropology; here is the
story of social development-of the
evolution of marriage, and it's eff
feet in softening the brutal and in
dividualistic nature of man; of the
family and its growth into social Or
ganization.
Here is how the strength that
came of social order enabled man
to conquer the animals and estab-
fish his supremacy on the earth;
how language grew out of gestures,
and music from the imitation of
birds, how fire came through the
friction of dry boughS, and leaves
under the hot sun; how from the
use of nails and teeth man passed
to the invention Of a thousand
helping tools.
But even as our spirits warm
with this brilliant survey of the
progress of man from savagery to
civilization, from barbarism to hui
mainly, the stern philosopher and
poet blots out the sun with his pic
ture of inevitable and universal
dissolution.

Need for Honest Men

It's complexity is the most
amazing feature of modern life.
The best that most of us can do
is learn how to pursue one trade or
occupation fairly we'll. Outside of
that we can hope for little more
than to play the part of spectators
while some expert tells us what is
going on.
The crux Of the situation is that
we have to depend more and more
on specialists in private and honest
men in public.
Where our grandfathers dealt
with twenty-five or thirty trades
and professions, we deal with
hundreds. Where their Government
was fairly simple, because of the
few problems which it had to meet
ours has ramif1ed in multiplicity
Of directions.
An income tax return illustrates
how things have changed during
the last half-century.

You can ride thirty miles for a
nickel in New York, provided you
stay on the same system. No one
is prouder Of this than the average
New Yorker. No one sets so much
store by a nickel fare.
There are several transportation
systems in the city, however, and
no transfers, which forms quite an
important part of the story.
Under the present set-up there is
no hope for transfers such as other
cities enjoy, while there is a con-
stanU threat C one system or am
other demanding an increase, with
the possibility that some court may
grant it.

A Surprising Action
(From the st. Louis Post-Dispatch)
nhserunrS as well as an occasion

(From the st. Louis Post-DlSpatcn)
Foreign observers, as well as an occasional Amer-
can never fail to be surprised at the spectacle Of
great chain of American newspapers binding them
selves to maintain common stand on some Govern
mental policy or political candidacy In this tend
ency toward a dull standardization such observers
have frequently seen ample reason for alarm.
1t is likely that the more acute among them will
react similarly to the blanket Endorsement which
the editors of the twenty-six Scrpps Howard papers
have just accorded the presidential candidacy OF
Secretary Hoover 1t is hard to see how either the
independence of American Journalism the intellect
ual quality Of the average mind could be aided by
presenting common brand of political propaganda
to readers in New York City, Albuquerque, San
Francisco and some twenty other points
There is added reason for surprise in the fact
that this Endorsement is utterly out of keeping with
the reputation for independence and political
which the Scripps-Howard papers enjoy. This chain
of publications for instance has been noted for its
devotion to progressive ideals. Has it any reason
to believe that Secretary Hoover satisfies the de-
mand for progressive candidate? Apparently, no.
Hoover indeed, has been equally derelict Gov
ernor Smith in the matter of declaring himself upon
many of the chief national issues of the moment
On top of this, too, is the nadvisabiity of such
commitment at time when the national campaign
has not yet assumed definite shape.
What our politics admittedly needs is more in
dependence of judgment upon the part of the cleo
torate. Journalism is not aiding toward this when
it allows twentysix editors to be bound to stuff the
mind Of the electorate with standardized propaganda

THE STORY OF CIVILIZATION
The Grace Ends Mortal SUFFERING
Written for The Times by Will Duramt

XXTHEN wes are alive, Lucretius
w argues, death does not exist
for us; nor does it exist for us when
we are dead; "since the mind is
mortal, nothing whatever, when we
shall no more be, will avail to rouse
sensation in us,-not if the earth
shall be mingled with the sea, and
the sea with heaven"
When we are dead we are so dead
that we do not know that we are
dead.
What is there then in life so
passing bitter, if it come in the end
to sleep and peace?"
Shall we not with SWinburne)
thank whatever gods there be that
river runs at last into some ocean,
and the motal coil of grief and pain
can at last be shuffled off forever?
1t is a great relief to the ur-
happy LucretiuS to believe that even
the cruelest god cannot make him
suffer beyond the gates of death;
and so he offers us strange consola-
ton:
Even II there lurk behind some veil of sky
The tabled Maker. the Immortal Spy.
Ready to torture each poor life he made,
Thou canst DO more than God can--thou
canst die!"
He thinks, with Spencer, that re-
ligion arose through dreams, in
which the dead walked as if alive
and made men think some abode
must be from which these ghosts
return to poster their posterity.

Il desire for more life, and the long
ing to see loved ones whom we have

To the Editor:
We have read OF the terrible
tragedy that has come into the
little home of the Arnold family on
Schof1eld Ave.
Does the need Of help for these
dear, worthy people need to be
questioned or investigated so rig
idly?
The police department didn't lose
any time investigating whether
they were worthy or rot. Also your
paper, The Times, is right on the
job.
Then why do the charity organ
izations need hesitate to act at
once? That is what the people
contribute their money for.
Why Is it that just because a
family is down and in need and
worthy of help, that their pedigree
must be put through a sieve and
then busted out for the public to
leer at before they are helped?
No matter how poor a person
may be there is still a certain
amount Of pride left. Why humil-
late them with unnecessary and
long delayed Investigations?
OF course we all know there are
a few grafters In the world who
believe in getting all they can for
nothing, but when a case like
this comes before us let us help
and make them feel it is com
ing to them. And do our inves-
tigating later.
There are cases that are not only
getting relief, but a permanent living
through the Community Chest Or
CARNATIONS that I personally know
are able to work and help make
their own living. They get their
living donated to them while they
spend their money on picture
shows and trashy novels. This
doesn't give the poor working peo-
pie much encouragement to donate
their hard earned money to the
charity funds. MRS. R. K.

way they could, especially where

asked the captain and two of his
assistants at engine house No. 10
to kill the dog or at least to fasten
it up before the children came from

tell him about it.,
One of the others said, GO back
home and throw a bucket of water

Two years ago when neighbor in
an adjoining apartment committed
