Powerful Propaganda for

Last week Secretary Doak
and Secretary Lamont had a
conference with the operators,
but nothing was done; because
the operators merely declared
that it was useless to meet with
the miners.
However, the Cabinet is to
have the question on which to
gnaw, and something may
come Of it. When, in America,

This worldwide political discomfort and unrest is but

most destructive war; which broke down all normal barriers
and activities
OF all the changes and threatened changes in Europe this
country probably watches with most interest the struggle to
establish popular government in Spain, where looks as
those responsible for Liberty" will succeed in their pans
forever dispensing with royalty rulers OF that State
With political dynamite spread all the face OF Europe
however nobody knows what another five or SIX years may

Stray Straws in the World Storm By c. G. Bowers

find a plan for mere Ameri-
cans.
Meanwhile a tremendous
organized propag ganda is
launched behind the movement
to permit the railroads to in
crease their freight rates. The
roads have not been bothered
by Government operation but
they find themselves in a
messy condition. There is not
enough freight to carry; and
so to make up the loss it is
proposed to increase rates of
that which is carried. This.
of course, will mean increased
prices on the material carried;
and this may tend to further
reduce the amount carried.
We would have been better
off in the present crisis had
the Administration been franker
Sas to facts instead of juggling
figures and drawing on the
imagination to deceive the
public. We have another illus
tration Of its shynesS as to
facts in the rather sensational
discharge Of DR.. Ray o. Hill,
the financial expert Of the De-
partment Of Commerce.
Into the preparation Of the
annual publication on the BAL
ance Of International Pay.
mentS" this expert economist
appears to have put unwelcome
truths.
In the Department Of Com
merce the Administration pre-
fers the methods Of DR.. Klein,
who Is willing to make himself
ridiculous among economists by
the absurdities Of his state
ments having no relation to the
realities. DR.. Hall would have
been quite incapable of putting
out the Klein statement on the
effect of the tariff on foreign
trade.

approach is like that we clothe
with a smile and present with
a bow. Chesterfield.
Nothing can be reckoned
good or bad to US in this life,
any farther than it indisposes
us for enjoyments Of another.
-Atterbury.
Instru ction ends in the
schoolroom, but education ends
only with life. A child is given
to the universe to educate.
Robertson.
For when anyone explains
himself guardedly, nothing
more uncivil than to put a new
question. Richter.
Be what your friends think
you are; avoid being what
your enemies say you are; go
right forward and be happy.
-TOmsro.

"pen in hand" but you have
taken your PERSONALITY in
hand and-through your man.
nerism, attitudes, habits, re-
marks and personal appear
ance-you present your case as
surely as though you wrote with
pen and ink.
And how is that problem pre-
sented to the world which Is to
Judge and answer? What sort
of a "letter" do people read as
they see you, listen to you. in
your daily life?
Do you think about your prob
lem honestly and bravely, and
state it clearly and simply? Or
do you ramble aimlessly along,
Soggy with self pity-expecting
the world to give you a lot OF
sweet kisses just because you're
sorry for yourself?
Or is your letter so blotted
with anger, resentment and sus-
picion that 1t has neither dig
nifty nor meaning? Or so filled
with elaborate curlycues Of con-
ceit and affectation that no
one can take time to bother
with it?
Every day you write a letter
to Life. Your success or failure
depends upon Lies answer to
that letter. Every day, all the
other people on earth are doing
the same thing.
Some of those letters will be
read with respect and sympathy.
answered promptly, helpfully.
Some Of them will be dropped
into the waste basket because
it will be impossible to answer
them.
What will happen to YOUR
letter?
