Pioneers and Industry

TITIES especially in this age of
~ mechanical power and mass
production, largely are the prod
uct of industry. Rubber made
Akron, just as automobiles have
made Detroit, but there is more to
the story than that.
Industry follows the pioneer, the
man of vision and peculiar bent,
who dares to step out of line and
try something new. You can not
get away from thst all-important
factor What else made New Bed
ford the greatest whaling port in
New England when there were a
dozen other just as good harbors
within 100 miles2 What else CEN
tered the automobile business in
Detroit?
Much as we have come to depend
on mechanics for comfort, we still
look to genius for direction. still fol-
low those in whom we have con-
fidence whether it is a matter of
religion, politics or merely job.

SAYS

DETROIT, Jan. 11.-If you would
II get good idea of what the
automobile business means in pay
roll, factory floor space and the
evidences of profit, this is the
place to come. Here is where the
giants Of the city not only toll, but
spend the difference, building
magnificent homes, erecting sky
scrapers and contributing to COM
munity enterprises.
Detroit is now the fourth city
in America. The contraption that
enabled it to reach that point, to
pass such apparently well en-
trenched rivals as Boston, Balti-
more, st. Louis and Pittsburgh, was
not in existence forty years ago.
Airplanes can, and probably will
do as much for some other town.
What everyone would like to know
is which town.

The Primrose Path

XXTHEN I was in college roomed
w with an atheist and we used
to argue about religion and NOR
atty until far into the night. I
maintained that but for my belief
in God and Judgment day, would
Immediately set forth upon a life
of crime and debauchery.
So f1ercely did I debate that he
was half convinced and confessed
some thankfulness that I was still
under the influence of the Epis-
copal doctrines, even though he had
no faith in them. Had I been
more observant l might have noted
the fact that my friend was kind
ly, generous and altogether a sweet
and friendly person. The lust for
RIGHTEOUSNESS which I ascribed to
all nonbelievers was not in him.
In fact by now am able to make
more immediate test. I still be-
lieve in God, but am rather doubt
full about any formal judgment day.
Hell is not much on my mind.
And yet I think I am rather bet
ter person now than during the days
when faith was stronger and more
formalized.
Maybe I don't belong in the dis
cussion since I am not technically
irreligious. However, 1t is my i'm
preston that while religion can and
does make some men better from
an ethical stadard, many Of the fin
est souls known on this earth have
been persons with no formal reli-
gious faith.
To be more specific I think. that
most Of the deeds which we call
noble were not done in the hope of
heaven William Jennings Bryan
was fond of saying that he pre-
ferred good men to those who were
merely wise. think he underesti-
mated the scope of wisdom.
1t may be that he was thinking
rather of sickness or shrewdness.
Criminals and villains are not made
out of men with truly f1rst-class
minds.
oh, yes, I've heard of Leopold and
Loeb, but it was mere newspaper
excess which paraded these two
warped youths as budding geniuSes.

Life Terms for Booze

MICHIGAN is one of those states
Iva that have tried to enforce
prohibition by drastic penalties. In
Michigan, selling liquor is a felony,
and four convictions for felony
make life sentence mandatory I'M
der the criminal law.
Put in plain English. this means
that if any one is proven guilty of
selling as little as one pint OF liquor
four times, he or she can be sent to
prison for life. The thing actually
has happened A woman, the
mother of ten children, was recently
so sentenced.
Recognizing the inhumanity of
such 4 law, several members of the
legislature now in session, are work

God of Reason

IN RUSSIA, at the moment, a vast
L laboratory experiment is being
conducted. 1t is the purpose of the
Soviets to wean the children away
from any formalized religious belief.
The job is not accomplished yet.
Perhaps it never will be- Even if
the power of all the churches were
broken am willing to admit that
some mystical religious element
would persist in the hearts of men.
1t is difficult for me to understand
the emotional composition of the
man who is wholly without religious
feeling, but undoubtedly there are
many such.
We are fond of attributing many
Of the excellent things which we do
to the influence of Christian ethics,
but certain standards of conduct to
which we adhere are far more
ancient than the Christian religion.
Basically every system of ethics
depends upon enlightened self-inter-
est. The golden rule itself is not an
injunction to sheer self-sacriflce.
The man who loves his neighbor has
an excellent chance of being loved
in return. Even without religion, a
community must hold to truth and
honesty.
When two or three are gathered
together they will inevitably agree
upon some mutually advantageous
scheme Of conduct. Nor should
Sharp be quite so severe with the
apes. Monkeys are gregarious
enough to need ethical standards
and to possess them.
Their ideas of right and wrong
may not seem suitable to Sharp, and
yet all animals which live in packs
have rigid rules Of conduct which
are respected.

Governor-elect John Garland Pol

seekers and their friends, says
that he is hopeful that members
of the general assembly will con-
fer with him and discuss the quail

appointees of the governor before
they make definite commitments.
DR.. Pollard said that he is
primarily interested in the quail

He said that members Of the
assembly who are not committed

party.
Friends of officeholders have
been thrown into a panic during

CITIZENS FIGHT
CROSSING

The Takoma Park Chamber Of
Commerce is sponsoring a com
munity mass meeting to be held
tonight at the Takoma Theater
Hall, when Capt. H. C. White
hurst, coordinating engineer of
the District of Columbia, will
speak on the proposed plan for
the elimination of the Chestnut
Street grade crossing Of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and
the building Of an underpass at
Fern Street.
The various civic organizations
of the Town of Takoma Park
have recently adopted resolutions
seeking the early elimination Of
the dangerous crossing, at which
two Washington women lost their
lives several weeks ago.
In conjunction with the build
ing of the Fern Street project
several major street improve
ment plans will have to be con-
sidered, including the widening
and extension Of Piney Branch
Road.
It is expected that sufficient
land on the Maryland side Of the
District line will be acquired to
enable the officials to build a
plaza entrance to the subway,
permitting Takoma, Baltimore,
Chestnut and Buffalo Avenues to
converge at the entrance to the
underpaSs.
