Sins of Little Fellow

MANY sins. both economic ana
lVI political, lie at the door OF big
business, but they can be matched
and overmatched in most cases by
the errors and wrongheadedness OF
small business. In an age during
which we are. suffering from lack
of planned production, there is no
salvation likely in the theory OF
every man for himself.
The automobile industry, which
is highly organized, turned out more
cars than it could market and thus
added it's mite to the crash. But
the independent wheat farmer and
cotton grower went even further
in Cutting the market and bring
ing us to the day of starvation IN
the midst of plenty.
The way out must come through
greater organization and not from
less. Competition has cut more
Threats than ever can be proved
against monopoly. When a trust
gouges the public with high prices
and corrupts democratic govern
ment through political control and
trickery the farm radical imme-
diately begins to shout that we
must destroy these huge combina-
tons in restraint of trade.
But he has seen only half the
picture. He is suffering from the
same fallacy as the man who at
tacks the machine and all labor
saving devices.
We have bled grievously under
the wheels of the machine and of
the monopoly, but only because we
have allowed them to ride us down.
Few have gone far in suggesting
that the way out Of poverty and OF
want is for us to climb on board.
You can't be run over when you
sit in the drivers seat.
The first time Franklin Roosevelt
suggests that monopoly and ma
cllinery were made for man rather
than the other way around l will
apologize gladly and admit that as
far as I'm concerned he belongs in
be ranks of American radicals.

Roosevelt No Radical

IN some quarters 1t is held most
L unfairly that Franklin d. Roose-
velt Is dangerous radical. This is
based. upon some vague generaliza-
lions of the gentleman from Albany
about "the forgotten man" and 'the
little fellow" Conservatives need not
fash themselves about Franklin. He
didn't mean q think except that he
would like to be President.
A definition of Roosevelt's precise
position in the world Of economic
thought is difficult, because as yet
he seems to have no program what
ever. But from hints which he has

Other Discoveries

DISCOVERY of the five-day
- week of the ancient Assyrians
matches other recent archaeological
discoveries which tend to show that
there is little new under the sun.
Among such discoveries recently
reported at the Oriental institute
have been evidences of a business
upheayal in $50 B. c. and the popu-
larity of the habit of brushing the
teeth in 100 B. G.
Another discovery was that the
ancient Egyptians employed proof
readers to go over and correct the
inscriptions which were carved and
painted on temple walls.
w. H. Dubberstein of the Oriental
institute unearthed clay tablets
showing that in $50 B. c., interest
rates commodity prices doubled in
AsSyro-Babylonia.
The price of bushel of dates or
barley rose from a quarter to half
a shekel. Internal difficulties are
believed to have been the cause of
the trouble.
DR., George " P.obrinskoy. as
sistant professor of Sanskrit at the
University of Chicago, found that
the Indo-Europeans of 100 B. c.
made religious rite of brushing
the teeth.
For a tooth brush, they used
twig from a living tree. Usually
certain species of fig tree was en-
ployed.
The religious ceremony demand
ed that the bark on the twig be
uninjured, thus making it necessary
for a new brush" to be obtained
each time the teeth were brushed.
Discovery of the work of proof
readers on inscriptions on Egyp-
tan temples was made by John A.
Wilson of the Oriental institute

What became of Captain Alfred
Dreyfus, the central figure in the
famous Dreyfus case in France?
He was completely rehabilitated
on July II, 1905, and was reinstated
in the army with the rank of major
of artillery. He was on military
duty at st. Denis, near Paris for
year. and resigned in July, 1907. In
June, 1908, on the occasion Of the
transfer OF the ashes of lola in the
Pantheon, an anti-Semite journalist,
Gregori, fired two shots at him, one
of which wounded him slightly. He
entered the army again during the
World war. and was promoted
lieutenant-co colonel in 1918, and
shortly afterwards he was made an
officer Of the Legion OF Honor Since
the war he has lived in retirement
in Paris.

Noble GuIIibiIity

r OOKED at one way, the. mora
IL forum was a noble gesture on
our part, a fine bit of voluntary
sacrifice by which We once more
came to the rescue of others.
Looked at another way, the
moratorium classified us as bunch
of suckers who had been meneuvered
into a position where we had no
choice but to act as special pleader
for our debtors.
The nonchalance with which we
have been treated is only exceeded
by the gullibility with which we
have permitted ourselves to be led
around by the nose, to be made the
goat in every critical situation.

AMERICANS IN BATTLE

April 20
ON April 20, 1918, two regiments
~ of German storm troops at
tackled American forces holding the
village Of Seicheprey, in the Toul
sector, and succeeded in taking the
outskirts of the town.
A counter by American
troops recovered their old positions,
but only after the fiercest fighting
in which United States soldiers had
been engaged.
An official German bulletin an
nounced that 1873 American pris-
oners had been taken and esti-
mated total losses to United States
troops at nearly 1000. Pershing
estimated the American loss at 300
and the German at more than twice
that figure.
Meanwhile, German attacks in
the Lys sector continued with great
violence. Small gains were made,
but allied lines were holding at i'm
portant points.

NEW YORK, April 20.

THE new British budget con-
Il tains no provision for war debt
payments, includes a tea tax and
was presented on the anniversary
Of the battle of Lexington. Shades
Of John Hancock
Does this bespeak coincidence, or
a devilish plot? Is it possible that
the British imagined we would get
so mad about the tea as to overlook
the failure to make provision for
war debt payments?
1t was quite naive of Mr.. Cham
berlain to say "the worst is over"
when he presented a budget tax
ing no account of what England
owes us. What man would not feel
equally optimistic if he could get
out of debt that way?
1t won t work. The moratorium
ends next July If it is renewed,
somebody will have to ask for a re-
newal.

TRAFFIC STUDY
DUE IN D. {.

Traffic delegates to the Safety
Congress and Exposition here
October 81, will use the city's
streets as a practical laboratory
for the study of unusual traffic
hazards and unique methods of
traffic control.
Washington provides an ideal
setting for study of this sort
by traffic authorities from widely
divergent parts of the country.
1t has an unique street layout,
requiring special treatment, and
it's scores of unusual intersection
problems will provide delegates
with an opportunity for study
which no other city offers.
Programs are arranged to ap-
peal to traffic engineers, city en-
gineers from those municipalities
which do not have regularly ap-
pointed engineers in charge of
traffic, and for chiefs of police.
The Metropolitan Police De
partment has played large part
will assist the National Safety
Council in numerous interesting
in arranging these programs and
demonstrations.
