~ UTILIZATION" a scholar
81 has said, expresses itself in
politics, in economies. in
~ technology, while culture
expresses itself In art, in
literature. in religion. in morals. Our
culture is what we are, our clVlilzatlon
is what we use.
Civilization, he adds, preserves Its
achievements automatically. culture
must always be won afresh, poe
can write for only those who have
themselves the poetic quality; and you
must win culture by effor: before you
can enter into its achievements.
In this way we begin to see the true
criterion for judging an eepoch OF a So
ciety. II Is not its technical equipment
that matters. It is by its culture that
II is judeed--"by the books men read
and write, by the ideals they cherish.
by the pleasures they pursue, by the
religions which they practice, by all the
things they really care about and think

Civilization is worth while. but not
without culture One braces the body
another the soul, and we need both to
complete our existence.
Aristotles Distinction.
Aristotle draws 2 distinction. which is
we'll worth remembering and rejecting
upon, between three sorts Of human
activities. There Is the activity OF
work. which we do not pursue for its
own sake, but for the sake Of a result
let us saw. the result of a livelihood
There is the activity OF recreation.
which again VIC do not pursue for its
own sake, but to gain refreshment after
work or to make new work more easy
to do.
Finally there is the activity Of leis-
ure for leisure is not Incidence, but a
desirable tension Of the mind and
stretch of the faculties, and this
Aristotle says, we pursue for its own
sake. in the way of hearing noble music
and noble poetry. of having intercourse
with friends chosen for their work. and
above all, Of exercising our speculative
faculties.
But this activity of leisure" is Just
what we have called culture; and here
we have thus a new way of under
standing the value OF culture. and see

TIME purpose of farm relief Is de-
fined everywhere and always in
one phrase That phrase Is Ito
give the farmer economic equal
ity with other industries" That
phrase. or equivalents Of It, appear in
both party platforms, in the bill itself
and in literally thousands of speeches,
books and newspaper articles. That
definition of the purpose of farm relief
is accepted by both sides and by all the
arguers From that point everybody
starts. 1t is about the only detail as
to which there is universal agreement.
Yet the fact is, that is the most dis
putable proposition i'll the whole dis
cussion. 1t is diSputable because 1t has
two possible meanings. The meanings
are almost as distant from each other
as the poles of the earth. II you start
with one meaning you go north, with
the other you go south. AS a plOus
platitude economic parity with other
industries" is universal solvent OF
trouble. As a subject for Interpretation,
1t calls for the most muscular brain
work that any farmer is capable of, or
any Senator or college president, or
any of the others who are writing books
and magazine articles and addressing
audiences
Does that phrase mean
(a) That all individual farmers now
remaining on the soil shall be as indi-
vidually prosperous as automobile me-
chanics, steel workers and other work
ers in other industries?
Or does the phrase mean
(bD That agriculture as whole. ag-

II the meaning of that phrase is

ity for individual farmers-then the
present farm relief bill in the lower
house of Congress may do the work.
The bill has the potentiality of making
individual farmers now on the farms
as prosperous as analogous workers and
owners In city industries.
But If the meaning of that phrase IS
meaning (b)-that agriculture shall be
a growing industry--in that event the
present program in Congress will not

Norris Will Insist That Ex-

By seripps-H0Uard Newspaper AUioHce
WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.-Close
scrutiny will be given by the senate
to the federal trade commissions in
vestigation of public utilities when il
reopens here, it was indicated today.
This is due in large part to de-
velopments Of the summer which
have laid new emphasis on the
whole power problem.
Senator George w. Norris has
launched a move to have the trade
commission send detailed reports o.
its hearings to the senate, including
extracts from the more important
.hbits made part of the record
mere.
In the past, monthly summaries Of
progress in the investigation have
been submitted to the senate, bit

have proven startling.
Reproduction Of exhibits in a way
TO make them easily accessible will
make the results Of the inquiry
available for years AS it is, they
are put away in the trade commits
sion files and are forgotten, Norris
believes.
Norris wants the senate to have,
also, figures on the capital assets
and liabilities of interstate power
companies, their security issues, and
the charges made for service by
holding companies. These are to be
brought out in the financial phase
of the inquiry, opening soon.
Announcement will be made in a
