CUT DISCOUNT RATE IN CRISIS

The rediscount rate has been cut
to per cent by the Federal Reserve
Bank. This is part of the capitalists
efforts to push up business activity,
and at the same time an admission
of the fact that in spite of their
optimistic pronouncements, the dis
ease of the present crisis is pecon-
ing more chronic, is slowly invoiv-
ing more and more the entire indus
trial machinery of capitalism.

Paving Wares bY Check


Considering only employing corporations with
large nav rolls the payment of wages by check I'M
doubtedIy is a good way to escape loss by pay roll
robberes. But there are other things to consider
Principal among them is the cost to employees who
don't carry bank accounts of getting their checks
cashed.
In the days Of the old-tiIne saloon, most saloon
keepers did petty banking business of caShng checks
for such employees but it involved patronage of saloon
keepers by the employees. Mr.. Saloonkeeper got his
percentage.
Just where the percentage would go now is prob
lematical but it can be taken for granted that
whoever cashes therehecks will expect to profit by it,
and that employees who get paid by check and don't
have bank accounts will pay in some way for the
service. =
And with many employees who live from hand to
mouth a bank account, with about 500 tied up as a
minimum deposit, is out of the question: Yet any
bank is entitled to compensation for the bookkeeping
involved in carrying small deposit accounts. The
employer who wants to pay by check might find
way to pay for this service; and it might pay him
to encourage such thrift.
If he doesn't do this, then he must recognize the
fact that every employee is entitled to cash for his
labor and that is up to him to pay cash and take
his chances against pay roll robbery
That simply means that there are two sides to the
matter OF paying labor by check instead Of cash.

Linking the Americas

Merger of Pan-Anlerican Anyways and the New
York, Rio 81 Buenos Aires line gives the United
States the unquestioned upper hand in its campaign
for South American trade
Less than two years ago this nation entered the
South American air transport field, which Euro
pean companies already had firm hold Today it
has surpassed every of those companies, and has
taken control of aerial transport there away from
the Europeans. The new merger makes Pan American
the largest air transport system in the world.
1t is difficult to overemphasize the Importance to
the United States of South American trade. That
continent has been waiting for centuries on trans
portaton to open its vast store of natural resources
and its potential markets The nation that holds that
transportation key holds an enormous advantage.
The new Pan-American Always will fly 100000
miles week. and will put New York and Buenos Aires
within a week of each other.
Trade will flow back and forth between the two
continents over this swift means Of transporta-
ton.

Confusing the Issue

For fourteen years the nation has had to stand
by and see Mooney and Billings, two California
laborites held behind prison walls on discredted
evidence 1t has been forced to listen to unworthy
argument and crooked reasoning in low and high
places. 1t has seen the and only issue drowned
in oceans of prejudice, class feeling, propaganda.
Now in the pardon rehearing in San Francisco
it hears raised again the same old cry: Whether
they are guilty of this crime or not, they're bad
actors, so why worry about freeing them?"
The answer is that there is only one question
at issue:
Are Mooney and Billings guilty of killing ten and
injuring forty persons in the Preparedness parade
in San Francisco July 3d. 1916?
AS Associate Justice Emmett Seawell of the Cali
fornia supreme court said .There prejudices in
every case but the members of this court ought to
know enough Law and ought to be fair enough to
exclude the consideration of testimony that might
be prejudcial"
Here's good advice to Governor Young, to the
supreme justices. the pardon board and the people
Of California.
If guilty of this atrocious crime, Mooney and
Billings should remain in prison; if innocent and in
Jail by reason of improper trials, they should be
pardoned. sss.

No Longer News

The British dirigible R-1oO is back home again
after her round trip transatlantic flight. And the
biggest news of the trip is that in many newspapers,
the story of her safe arrival back in England was
inside page stuff
In other words, dirigible flights across the ocean
have been made so many times and so successfully
that they now are almost commonplace No greater
compliment could be paid the drigible than the fact
that its flights have ceased to be spectacular. 1t is
being accepted safe, sane and practical thing.
The airship isn't as fast as the airplane, but it
is safer for flights. and carries bigger load.
Bearing a cargo of many tons, it can cut steamer
time in half 1t is the next logical step in speeding
up oceanic commerce. Regularly scheduled dirigible
service across the oceans seems not far away
The airplane's field is over land The flying boats
forte is not-toolong overwater flights. The dirigble
is the thing for the hazardous ocean haul.
Congratulations to England on building and navi-
eating another successful super-shp of the skies!

Energy Given by Food Is Measured

in calories. 1t was recognized that
one gram of protein would provide
about four calories, as would also
one gram of carbohydrates.
However, one gram of fat, which
is more productive of energy than
protein or carbohydrate, provides
nine calories. A gram is roughly
about one-thirtieth of an ounce.
1t, therefore, may be seen how
small a quantity of food is neces-
sary to produce four Galleries and
why it is that, butter and fats may
help to put on weight SO rapidly
Naturally person doing a small
amount of work does not need to
have as much energy or to provide
so many Galleries as one doing
heavy labor.
Whereas d clerical worker eats
from $500 to 5000 calories a day,
e. stevedore or woodchopper con-
sumes from $500 to 5000, and a
lumberman may take as much as
5000.
In the same way a seamstress
takes from 1000 to 1890, whereas
maid -all-Work or laundress
consumes 1890 to $500.

The Next War?

Another world war is predicted by admralS'

Politbs WiIliamstown.
Once we we're assured solemnly that the World
war was the war to end war But there is no doubt
that there are more potential causes for war To-Day

It does not help much to attack one or another

causes must be sought out and resolutey asssailed
What would this mean in actual practice'
A more pacific type of education and rearing
would need to be provided to bring out cooperative
traits and restrain pugnacity. Intellectual and cul-
tral competition would be substituted for physical
combat. Population would be kept within limits which
the environment and industrial machinery could
support in decency The war cult would be under
mined and the peace advocate shown to be as good
patriot as the hundred percenter Racial arrogance
and the myth of a chosen people-Nordic or other
wse-would be put down.
Action would be begun looking toward nterna-

PERRY'S BIRTH
August %

I'm Aug. %, 1885, Oliver Hazard
~ Perry, noted American naval
officer, whose celebrated victory on
Lake Erie is regarded one of the
most heroic episodes Of the War of
1912, was born at South Kingston,
r. I.
Entering the navy at the age Of
IA, Perry gained valuable expert
ence only ten years later in the war
against Trtpoli. Shortly after the
outbreak of the War Of 1872, he
was sent to Erie to take charge of
the construction Of a feet with
which the Americans hoped to wrest
from the British the control of
Lake Erie.
BY the end Of the summer of
1913 he succeeded in building and
manning a squadron of nine vessels.
He sailed them against the British
fleet, comprising six larger and
stronger ships.
The English so holly attacked the
Lawrence, Perrys flagship, that out
of 101 men on it only eighteen
escaped injury. At this juncture
Perry left the Lawrence and was
rowed to the Niagara in small
boat.
Resuming the conflict, he gained
a brilliant victory, taking all the
British ships. He sent the follow
ing dispatch announcing tbs. result:
I'VE have met the enemy and they
are ours. Two ships, two brigs, one
schooner and one sloop" For this
service congress gave Perry a gold
medal.

L that mans achievement in art
reflects his ideals of beauty.
what visions rule his mind, guide
his hands in his work, give beauty
to his creation, if, in his soul, ne
sees beauty; but if he has not fine
ideal of beauty, his work is without
charm" Boring says.
In this mechanical age we are
surrounded by new inventions OF
form, which show function, power
and movement; forms which amaze
and impress us, but which rarely eX-
hibit the elements of beauty.
"These forms are not funda-
mental human records, familiar to
lis through long association; they
have not yet passed through the fire
and alembic of human experience
which sublimates them into sym
bols of elemental experience and life
To-day things, rather than ideas,
engross our minds. We invent and
construct to attain material salts
factions; rather build for ideals OF
beauty.
Beauty appeals to us where we
see it, and when we are searching
for it, but while our vision is filled
with new forms and devices, we
forget the beauty of the past.
Men, women and horses still are
the most eloquent forms in art to-
day as they were in the classic
times, because they represent ele-

which are in harmony with nature
and with us, for art appeals through

One Language Mind

THERE is nothing essentially
Il wild in that, but l don't speak
German and never answered or read
any of the letters. They continued
to come on Mondays, Wednesdays
and Fridays and then suddenly
ceased altogether.
The letter from the patient con-
fined in an institution is quite COM
mon. All these follow the same
form. The patient writes that he
is perfectly sane and has been COM
mitted by jealous relatives.
Sometimes the 'oil trust" or some
well-known captain of industry is
mentioned. 1t is, of course, entirely
possible that O. certain number Of
sane people have been committed
unjustly, but the persecution mania
is so well standardized that it would
be a thankless and hopeless task
to attempt looking up the circum-
stances Of each case.
And occasionally they came to
call. There used to be regular
visitor at the Office who caused me
great perturbation. I would hest
tate to call him unbalanced, but he
wanted to prove to me that he was

stration which he was anxious to
make for my benefit was a perform
ance in which he would read the
balcony scene from Romeo and

nurse) and simultaneously paint a
landscape and play cornet solo.
And he always brought the cornet.
I managed to stave of the stunt
by manifold lying about the trains
I had to catch. During the month
before he dropped out I must have
travelled several thousand miles on
phantom railway journeys.
