LISTEN. WORLD!
BY Elsie Robinson

And because Of that, the
System is on the skids-and
the Big Fellows who profited
by it are on the spot. For any
System which doesn't give the
Little Fellows a break is a bad
System, and will smash in the
end.
And the reason for that is
plain. Most of lis are Little
Fellows. Most of us aren't
strong enough, or bright or
brave or ruthless enough, to
win out in the bitter warfare
of the System we've been fol-
lowing. For every one man
who can buck that game, there
are ten thousand who can't.
NOR IS 1T THEIR FAULT.
THEY DIDN'T CHOOSE TO
BE WEAK AND SLOW AND
TIMID AND A LITTLE STU
PID. THEY WE'RE MADE
THAT WAY.
Stupid and Weak
And, as a matter of fact,
that's perfectly natural way
for men to be made. Discount
ing all the malnutrition, the
bad breeding, rotten environ
rnent and vicious training from
which we suffer, it's still per-
fectly natural and normal for
most of us to be born a little
stupid and slow, weak and
timid.
So the System didn't merely
buck the Golden Rule. 1t also
bucked human nature.
IT TRIED TO SERVE CIVIL
IZED SOCIETY WITH A BAR
BAROUS JUNGLE CODE.
And now civilized society is
slowly but surely kicking it out.
For the human race will not
permanently tolerate any Sys-
tenn which does not serve the
WHOLE race. TT DARE NOT
TOLERATE SUCH A SYSTEM.
The Big Fellow may dish it
out for a long, long, time, and
the Little Fellow may be forced
to take it. But inevitably, the
Little Fellow, in his awful num-
bers, goaded by his terrible
necessity. will rise and demand
a new deal.
Our Brothers Keeper
You ARE your brothers
keeper. If you won't keep him,
he won't keep you.
And so the Big Shots, who
never did a deliberately dis
honest or unkind thing in all
their lives, are on the spot
and they can't see why.
They're on the spot because
the System they served was a
rotten system. And it doesn't
matter much whether you're
innocently high minded or de-
liberately hard boiled, when
you profit by a rotten System.
TO THE LITTLE FELLOW
THE RESULTS ARE ALL THE
SAME. YOU'RE JUST PART
OF THE RACKET THAT
GYPPED HIM!

A Great Project

Some people hail Franklin
D. Roosevelt as a great
visionary. Others call him a
great gambler. Others be-
lieve he is a great statesman.
Only the result will show.
It might be the very
thing-this gigantic Muscle
Shoals project-to break the
back of the depression and to
start the wheels turning once
more. At least it is certain
that no leader ever got any,
where who lacked the imagi-
nation to conceive a great
project and the courage to
tackle it.
Muscle Shoals is situated
on the Tennessee River, a
wandering, romantic stream,
more romantic in some ways
than the Mississippi "Old
Man River" himself. 1t
comes into being in Ten
nessee, near Knox willie e,
formed by small streams
that tumble down from the
mountains of the Carolinas
and Of the State Of Ten
nessee.
1t flows swiftly through
almost unbroken forests on
its way to Chattanooga, and
on the way it is joined by
the Hiwassee, on which is
Maggie's Mill. At that spot
a young man very much in
love wrote a song that our
grandfathers used to sing,
When You and I Were
Young, Maggie" Wrote it
to the miller's daughter.

a Perhaps you try to get them
in the ground, but the roots do
not respond to the new environ

You say you have no luck with
flowers, and you love them so.

) If you love flowers, should suf-
flee.
You will refrain from picking

The desire to pluck the flow

for them.
1t is the desire of possession, a

things.

Whitman's greatness rests in his

Suicide Reason.

MADISON, Wis, Jan. 20.-A po-
liceman thoughtleSsly closed an
open book which he found in Inar
Olbergs room Thursday night, and
thus possibly wiped out the only
clew to why the 21-year-old state
clerk committed suicide.
Miss Olberg was health devotee
who drank three quarts of milk
each day, took violet ray treat
ments every day, and read many
books on personal magnetism.
She was a clerk in the state de-
partment Of agriculture Offices.
Her body, nude. was found
Thursday night in her room. She
had Topped belt around door
knob and hanged herself.
On her bed lay a health encyclo-
pedia, open. An officer closed it
without noting the page.
Later other officers believed that
because of the girls interest in
health subjects the explanation of
her suicide probably could have
been found on the page left dis
