American Prosperity
Due to Earning Power of Workers.
El Commercio, Lima: We are told
that worker in North America pro-
duces from three to five times what q
similar worker produces in Europe or In
South America. BY the same basis it
is further computed that more than
half Of the work Of the world Is done s,
study by leading economists of the day
has led to the conclusion that the pros
perity of the American people is due
to the fact that the American artisan
or laborer earns In a day what workers
in other parts of the world earn in q
week, and produces many times as much
output. And the same conditions are
true of work not only of manual labor,
but Of work requiring the greatest Of
skill and intelligence.
The big employers and capitalists Of
North America have new economic
idea, which includes the adaptation Of
each man to the work he can do best,
and the granting of the proper portion
of the profit on the materials produced
70 the worker. In this way not only
the owners, but also the workers in any
industry, participate in the net amounts
earned.
Film Defects
Do Countries Injustice.
Ell Universal, Caracas: Among the
deteriorations in the i1lms from Holly
wood, catalog of defects which IS con-
stantly increasing is the production Of
pictures with foreign Aims and settings,
which, in purporting to be true repre-.
sensations Of life and customs in these
foreign lands, do such countries a grave
injustice. When they portray their own
local color, the bad man is not pre-
Sented to the native clientele as the
typical gentleman Of North America,
though he comes much, nearer being
SO than the Spanish american villain,
who. 1t Is firmly believed, outside of
South America, is a walking and talk
ing .epitome Of all Spanish-speaking
people. Such depictions and the manu-
tactured background of environment and
custom that accompanies these syn
thetic villains" give a wholly false
conception of the worthy people of the
South American republics. II we have
to be exhibited upon the screen as
curiosities, at least let it be a faithful
reflection of our people and Of our ways,
and not manufactured, discredi.ing
and misinforming parody on life in or
below the tropics. The North American
bad man is frequently painted with
certain heroic virtues, but the Spanish
american villain never has any, and
north americans are sure he is typical
OF all Spanish Americans.

Primary in Pennsylvania
Viewed From Many Angles

San Antonio Express points to Some
thing of a dry victory in State
traditionally wet" and holds that
"Mr. Davis will strengthen the admin
istration forces" when he goes to the
Senate.
Noting the discrepancy between the
primary figures and those of the Lit
erary Digest, the New York Sun is i'm
pressed by the fact that prohibition
cut strange patterns in the returns"
The New York Herald Tribune argues:
"Mr. Pinchot's triumph may be hailed
by some as a setback to the wet cause;
but 1t was that only incidentally and
secondarily. 1t represented to Penn
sylvanianS mainly another popular pro-
test against the Philadelphia machine
and its attempted annexation of the
State government" The Lexington
Leader emphasizes "the difference be-
tween real votes and straw ballots"
* X X
Pinchot's qualifications for public
service are lauded by the Omaha World
Herald, the Spokane Spokesman-Re-
view, the Morgantown Dominion-News.
the Roanoke World-News and the
Birmingham News. His personal tri-
umph is emphasized by the Uniontown
Herald, the New Bedford Standard, the
Scranton Times and the Chattanooga
Times. The significance of the Pinchot
victory is found by the Harrisburg
Patriot in sentiment on law observ-
ance."
Commenting on the nomination of
Secretary Davis, the Oakland Tribune
concludes, I'm the results are to be seen
a rebuke for the Grundy lobbying ex-
periences and a testimonial to the popu-
larity of Mr.. Davis" The qualities
of Mr.. Davis are also attested by the
Grand Rapids Press. The Charleston
Evening Post suggests, "Well, 'Puddler
jim Davis will represent Pennsylvania
in the Senate and Joe Grundy can
return to the lobby, and between them
they will carry on for PENNSYLVANIA! I"
The Asheville Times thinks that "the
victory for the Ware organization must
be accepted as deplorable." The Okla
homa City Times states, Pennsylvania
will have another protectionist, of
course, in Mr.. Davis, but the country
Is fortunate in that he will be less ex-
treme." The Fort Worth Record-Tele-
gram concludes that Mr.. Grundy some
how failed to register as a Senator in
manner in keeping with his record as
lobbyist"

claiming 'the moderation ard calm
vision OF Lincoln" and said:
Since his day reason has not al
ways ruled instead Of passion, knowl-
edge has not always been sought in
stead of reliance upon improvised
conjecture, patience has not ever de-
layed the inpetuous feet of reckless
ambition, quiet negotiation has not
always replaced the ciamor. of the
hastings, prudent common counsel
has not invariably overcome the al
lurements of demagogic folly, good
will has not always won the day over
cynicism and vainglory.

on Capitol Hill ponder that Hooverian
homily. they may find that the Presi-
dent talked politics" at Gettysburg

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PH1LANDER JOHNSON.

New Moon.
New Moon, shining in the sky,
Tells how time is drifting by,
And the superstitious say
You must look the proper way.
OF good fortune you're bereft,
If you see it on the left:
1t portends future bright
If you see 1t on the right.
New Moon, as you bring the show'rS
That with rainbows touch the howr's,
Where the perfumed South Wind sighs
Softly from the Summer skies,
Bringing the reminder true
OF beauty ever new.
New Moon, you foretell UP there
Only Fortune that is Fair.
