CHANGE ISN'T OVER YET

If you think that the upheavel which
mechanical and industrial inventions and
discoveries put into human life is over,
you may be in for rude awakening
during the next decade or so.
Dr.. Gus Dyer, professor of political
economy at Vanderbilt University, be-
lieves that the upheaval is going to work
even more changes in the future than it
has in the past Addressing the EXecu-
tive Club of Chicago the other day, he
unburdened himself as follows:
What is going on now is the greatest
revolutionary force the world has ever
seen. What has been accomplished in 20
years by gas and electricity is a miracle.
1t has destroyed isolation. 1t has brought
all America out on the great highways
of life
1T is taking everything worth seeing
and hearing from the cities and carrying
it to remote sections. Electricity will
pump your water, cook your dinner,
freeze your ice cream and sing to you.
1T is destroying the reasons why peo-
pie should go to the cities to live. Indus
tries are going back to the country and
the small town. The cities have the great
est fight they ever had if they are to hold
their places under the new order. The
Sllldll place lids dttN oUldS0o 1Ol IiINtUSeiS )
that the city can hardly meet.
THE cities have got to make a read
justment, recognize new force. They
have got to watch taxes. Business men
want to escape interference with free
dom of contract. They cannot work un-
der unwarranted restrictions. The COM
petition is between 10000 workers in
Kentucky and 10000 workers in Iowa.
That oroup lives which gives the best
service at the smallest cost.
1T is a complete dethronement for
capital as dominant in business. Capital
is now menial servant. A man with
brains can get all the capital he wants,
If Dr. Dyer is correct, some population
shifts even more startling than those OF
the past 25 years are in store for the
near future. His prophecy has an eXcit-
ing ring about it. Whether or not ne is
correct in detail he is obviously correct
in stating that the era of changes is by
no means over Indeed, it seems more
likely that it has hardly begun.

POLITICIANS AND CRIME

During the first few years after the
VAR 1t was customary to speak OF our
"crime wave" as if it were an abnormal
ting arising directly out of the war.
Lately, thoughtful people have come to
realize that this was q faulty way of
looking at things. We have great deal
OF crime, to be sure, and the situation
sometimes seems to be getting worse in
stead of better; but it is wrong to speak
of it as wave" and it is mistake to
blame it all on the war.
Instead it is becoming apparent that
the prevalence of crime in America is due
to some fundamental defects in our So
cial organization. A city like Chicago,
for example is not going to clean up It's
crime situation without indulging first IN
house-cleaning all the way down the
line. Tinkering will not do the trick;
nor, apparently. will laws that merely
call for stiffer sentences and fewer pa
roles
Frank J. Loesch, who spent years
studying the situation as chairman of the
Chicago Crime Commission, is about as
well qualified to speak as anyone Ad-
dressing the members of Chattanooga
University's Institute of Justice recent
ly, he had this to say

enable time is given to qualify the voter,

Now you may not agree with Mr.
Loesch's conclusions at all. 1t Is quite
obvious, for instance, that mere llteracy
does not insure the casting OF an intel
ligent vote But his remarks are worth
