BANKERS, UTILITIES, SCHOOLS

THE disastrous erect OF speculative BANK
ing upon American industry, transporta-
ton, financial institutions and the like grad
ually. but surely has dawned upon a consid-
erably section of the American public. That
some of the bankers are exerting similarly
detrimental influence on American education
will come as news to many.
It is true that, from the standpoint of
logic we might imagine that speculative bank
ers would prefer an illiterate public, but con-
crete evidence to the effect hitherto has not
been presented in impressive fashion.
Now, however even leaders of that baSically
conservative, but powerful educational body,
the National Education Association charge
that banks are debating to boards of educa-
ton in various parts of the country as to
what shall be taught in the schools and what
teachers shall be paid"
The president of the association Joseph
Roster, spoke out with amazing frankness on
the subject:
when, as a condition of making loans. the
banking interests OF Chicago. Boston. New
York, or any other community attempt to tell
the educational authorities how to run the
schools they are stepping outside their sphere.
1.-The supreme issue is whether the best
interests of the people of the country are to be
curtailed to satisfy the desires of special
economic groups or whether liberal and pro-
gressive influences shall dominate
ALREADY in the Morgan and other inves-
legations it has been shown that the social
vision of the dominant group is limited Bank
ers who yesterday were regarded as the lords
of creation are on the defensive today
Yet in every state using the same argu-
ment in an apparently concerted effort. bust
ness interests are campaigning to limit free
public education to the elementary schools.
BY advocating the charging of tuition in high
school and college they would close to the
poor farmer boy the doors of educational op-
portunity tradtionaly open to him"

TREATMENT of petty offenders at Indi-
anas state farm is a throwback to the
Dark Ages. Medieval society meted out torture
and starvation as a matter Of course to those
who transgressed even its minor laws. The
theory of that primitive penology was that the
more fiendish the punishment, the greater de-
terrent to others who might be tempted to
crime.
1t has taken a long time to show that the
rack, the thumbscrew and the foul dungeon
were breeders of criminals. But these methods
were abandoned when people finally became
convinced that they were inhuman and useless.
Science began to study the criminal 1t
discovered that he often could be rehabilitat-
ed made useful to his community, if subjected
to rigid just, and enlightened discipline. 1t
found that brutality merely made the wrong
doer brutal and made him greater menace
after his release from prison.
Yet here in Indiana state which has
been noted for its inteIectuals We find a penal
institution operated on the old ignorant and
bigoted principles. 1t has been running thus
for good many years. Governor McNutt in
herited the situation from his predecessors.

Does the so-called saving of souls

dramatics?
1t seems almost unbelievable that
a woman, for any reason whatever,
could have sent hoax cable TO her
husband announcing the birth Of
fictitious son, yet this IS exactly
what Aimee Mcpherson Hutton
confessed TO have done. after she
has arrived on the front pages OF
all newspapers in the country.
Lying to get yourself in the head

ing of souls has become kind Of
gigantic racket, for which the poor
sinner always pays through the
pocket.
And if We must expatiate our
waywardness in the neither regions,
as we so often are told, it's asking a
great deal too much, when they de-
mand that we shall keep in earthly
luxury all those who make a pro-
fession of succoring us.
Let the evangelist humble himself
if he would have us believe he emu
lates the Master. Let him avoid the
antics of the circuit performer. Let
him speak simply and sincerely,
walk uprightly and go on no quests
for publicity.
Only so will he be acceptable to
a generation that has had enough
Of insincerity.

The newspapers seem particular

cerned, since they fall for all her

milk and other necessities have
been increased.
These clearly are combinations
for restraint of trade and price
fixing. The retail merchants COM
bine and organize to fight the
essential taxes, so they may have
more profits for themselves. Some
employers work their men twelve
and more hours a day, to gain an
undue and unfair advantage over
their competitors.
These all are obstructionists,
proflteers, racketeerS, and slackers
to hinder the government IN its
sincere effort to equalize taxes in
this emergency and to create re-
employment. The attorney-gen-
eral should take hand to prevent
these outrages.

M. E.TracySays:

COOPERATION has little virtue by itself
~ Its effectiveness goes back to the spirit and
ability of those who cooperate. The fact that
twenty men take hold of rope means little
unless all of them can and will pull on it.
Applying this thought to nations, it obviously
is useless for them to get together on programs,
unless they are in shape to contribute something
of substantial value.
The first essential of recovery is for each ma
ton to put its house in order. That is what
President Roosevelt has in mind.
The London conference was about to become
leaning spree, in which each country hoped
to rig up a scheme whereby the others would
support it, with Uncle Sam right in the middle.
Cooperation would be worse than useless
under such circumstances. The only way ma
tons can help one another is by helping them
selves
The family of nations is much like a group
of men trying to form a company when none
of them has any capital to put into it.
Getting together won't put capital in empty
pockets, or bring prosperity to countries that
can't develop it within their own borders
T~HERE are establishments which would help
Il by relieving trade of arbitrary restraints
but generally speaking, trade recovery is much
more dependent on what each country does at
home than what it can obtain abroad.
The same thing is true regarding sterilization
of money
The depression through which we have been
passing owes much more to the idea that pros
perity could be manufactured by trumped-up
international schemes than to anything else
For the last fifteen years nations have spent
more time Winding one anotherS business than
their own That has been peculiarly true of the
United States.
We have spent deal of money and deal of
energy on the thought that the only way to save
ourselves was to save the rest of the world. We
wasted two years trying to get relief by changing
conditions abroad instead of doing what we
could to improve them at home.
THE Roosevelt administration has not done
L one thing that the Hoover administration
could not have done in 1890 1t merely has
modified American capital and American brains
for American recovery. The program is work.
ing and President Roosevelt refuses to accept
any kind OF agreement which promises to inter-
fere with it,
He is operating on the theory that CO.
operation will be Intellectual unless nations first
put themselves in shape to cooperate. In other
words, he believes that the way to save the world
Is for each country TO save itself, not in selfish
or antagonistic sense, but purposefuly and con-
Structively
1t should be apparent to every one that the
United States can not make much trade for
England or do much TO stabilize French money
and 1t should be equally apparent that European
governments, as a whole, can not make much
trade Tor the United States or do much to
StaolIze American money.
These are things which nations must do for
themselves, just as there are things which indi-
vldualS must do for themselves.
Trade IS largely a domestic affair, while
money is matter Of national control.

a man of the outdoors and de-

With three or four of the others
working on the job-the time
keeper, carpenter foreman and an
other engincar-Dick boarded at
the home of a Mrs. Williams who
lived in Pine Forest, village four
miles from their work. They drove
back and forth from the village on

Once Dick asked Eve to send
him red sweater to wear in the
woods when he went hunting. The
same season would soon be open
and there was lodge available

say so in his letters. He sent her

that she had everything in the
