ONCE-OVERS
The Arrogant Boss

When a man in a position OF
authority becomes arrogant and
overbearing, it provides the best
of evidence that he is too small
a man for the job.
His attitude is not the sort
that gets the most out of en-
ployes.
Therefore, to better conditions
for the working man, improve
the concern and it's business in
general, this man of authority
should be replaced by a more
capable man.
A man who makes for har-
mony and brings out the CO.
operative spirit gets best results
in thought and action among
employees.
When workers feel antagoniS-
tic toward a superior because
of his lack of ability and good
judgment they naturally will
not produce for him as they
would for man more fair and
honorable in his treatment.
Strong cooperative spirit is
needed most of all among
bosses, employers and employees.
The pull-together spirit may
save a tottering business.
But this spirit cannot exist
where there is a man in an Of
ficial position who constantly
irritates and brow-beats those
under him.
True, he gets service, of a
sort, and as good as he deserves,
but it is not thoughtful, really
interested effort which is the
kind that brings results.

Ours Is No Half
Way Crisis

Senator Borah protested
against Senator Reeds pessi-
mism. He does not think the
loaning of Government funds
to prevent starvation will de-
stroy the republic, or that
the republic will be de-
stroyed. He does not share
Senator Reeds near-recon-
element to a Mussolini. In
stead, he says:
1.-THE Anglo Saxon race
has never yet retreated from
free government. The Anglo
Saxon race has always been
equal to the emergency,
whatever the difficulties. "
And so it has until now;
and so it is in England, it
would seem; but it is yet to
be shown that in America we
have the courage or the
"guts' to meet the present
emergency.
We cannot meet it with
halfway measures, for this
is no halfway crisis.

Claude G.. BOWerS

OENATOR REED of Penn
- sylvania is opposed to
any action on the part OF
the Federal Government for
the relief of the suffering
among the unemployed. In
opposing the Wagner bills
provision for loans to the
amount of $3OO,O0O,OOO to
the States for relief purposes,
he sourly predicted that
history would record it as
"a milestone in the disinte-
grafton of the American
republic. " In view of the
Senator recent suggestion
that a Mussolini might be
desirable for America it may
be assumed that the "disin-
tegration of the republic" is
something to which he could
be reconciled. But more to
the point is the explanation
he offres for his pessimism:
"It is the first step
toward making mendicants
of the American people. d"
When millions of men,
heads of families, want to
work, beg for work, walk
day in and day out looking
for work, and are refused
it, they cannot be expected
to starve. If we do not
give them work-which
they want-we must give
them bread, which they
must have to live; and to
call h ese unfortunates
"mendicants" appears a bit
too hard. They are nothing
Of the sort.

servatiOn or not?
If these unusual things,
intolerable under normal
condition, are steps in max
ing mendicants of the Ameri-
can people, the loans to the
banks, railroads and cor
porations was the "first
STEP" and not the proposed
loans, not yet made, to
people who are starving.
1t is not of record that
the Senator was shocked by
the "first step; he re-
served his indignation for
the second.

neither is going to make

Children'S Rights

Do you teach your children
to respect the rights of others
and then destroy or give away
their playthings without their
consent?
Such an idea may look fool
ish to some parents, even to
consider putting up to a child
what shall become of its play:
things.
Children early develop the
sense of ownership.
Toys are their companions
when at play, and more precious
because they can take the place
of other children.
If they value them they will
take better care of their toys.
There are many little lessons
that may be taught through the
consideration shown for Tom
my's or Jennie's possessions.
If you want your flower gar
den protected from vandalism
among the little people let them
have a few seeds or plants to
grow.
When they understand how
long it takes to develop bios
SONS they will not pull them
idly.
And if you are careful to
protect the children's garden
from depredations and do not
pick their flowers yourself they
will soon learn to respect others
because they want their own
protected.
To have owned and been re-
spected as the posSessor of, does
much to make children respect
the rights of ownership at home
and outside of it.

admit that, being a strict
HamiltOnian, he thinks in

opposes relief for the job
less, who are jobless under

course it won't. 1t will

in the right direction. He,
himself, makes the point that
the relief proposed is "Only

will probably have to pro-

Unless some miracle oc-
ours during the next six
months, millions of bread
winners will still be upon the
human scrap heap. Congress
meets in December; nothing
serious is ever attempted
until after the Christmas re-
cess in January; and debate
and delays will make any ac-
ton impossible until in Feb
ruary at the very least, we
think. The winter will then
be almost over-the winter
so many of us dread.
Would it not be better to
face realities now, as they
must be faced sooner or
later, and launch a building
program of sufficient mag
nitude, through the sale Of
bonds, to more than scratch
the surface? It takes some
time to make plans for pub

There ought to be a pros

better to do it at one time
than to do it in dribs and

Macaulay Foresaw
Our Disaster

We are hearing much
these days about the "disin-
tegration Of the republic, "
and quite as much of it
comes from men like Sena-
tor Reed as from the few
Communists among us. There
are men Of great Importance
in the financial world who
could easily be reconclled to
the disintegration, if a pluto
cratic dictatorship could be
established in its place. But
that aside, we can see signs
Of disintegration. One sign
is that with 3O,00O,O0O peo-
pie in want because of I'M
employment, nothing effec-
tive has been done or Sc
riously undertaken by gov
ernment to find them jobs
until this moment. For an
other sign we must go back
a good many years.
For the disintegration of
the republic of jefferson,
Madison and jackson be-
gan Immediately after the
close of the war between the
States, when privilege seized
upon the instrumentalities of
government to use them for
their enrichment at the ex-
pense of the mass Of the
people.
We are in dire straits to-
day as a result of the
fruition of that policy. Ma
caulay foresaw it many
years before it began when
he predicted in his letter to
Randolph that under our
system money would accu-
mulate, concentrate in the
hands of all too few, and
that the republic would per-
ish in a clash of classes.

be the last man to admit it.
