1t Seems
to Me
: BY HAYWOOD BRoUN


NEW YORK. July 2i.-America's
most authentic prophet died
more than three decades ago and
Is not remembered vigorously for
the moment in the land in which
he lived.
I think there should be a great
revival Of interest in the work Of
Edward Bethany. for notions which
he expressed before the beginning
Of the century just now are COM
ing into articulation and a few, in
deed. into action.
The reasons for his decline are
obvious enough Bellamy was
Utopian. Radical thought is grow
ing in this country. but the radicals
themselves are impatient with men
who seem TO them visionary. The
reproach is leveled at these ideal
lists that they talk only OF pie IN
the sky
Yet think that the realists have
slipped a cog in taking this atti-
tude. 1t is false TO assume that
a visionary is man who thinks
only in terms of events beyond the
horizon. In the strict sense OF the
word. anything which lies one
eighth Of an inch beyond the end
OF your nose is visionary
For instance. If I say that II will
rain hard al 10 O'Clock tomorrow
morning I am a visionary. Yet II
that rain comes. I must be accepted
as lucky guesSer or a blamed good
weather prophet.

rs there anything out of date in
IL this observation by Bethany?
i mean that under competition
there was no free play whatever al
lowed for tie capitalists better feel

not be better than the system. II
he tried to be. the system would
crush HIM. He had TO follow the
pace set by his competitors or fail
in business.
Whatever rascality or cruelty his
rivals might devise. he must ini-
tate or drop out of the struggle. The
very wickedest. meanest and most
rascally Of the comprehensive one

adulterated his goods most shame
fully and lied about them most
sklliully-set the pace for all the
rest"
We are just beginning to accept
this contention nov, IN 1893, and It
has had its first expression in the
set of codes which have been sub
mitted or happen 10 be still in prep
aration.
But Bellamy undoubtedly would
hold that, while all this marks a be-
ginning, 1t doesn't commence to 90
far enough. Although a Utopian.
Edward Bellamy was not an evolu-
tionary Socialist. Certainly not in
the sense Of either believing or de-
string that the ideal state Of which
he dreamed might be built up slow
ly, one beam at time.
This frail son Of New England
preacher was, a revolutionist. In
deed. think he was the first Amer
lean revolutionist.
This claim would be disputed in
various quarters. Some might hold
that 1916 actually was a revolution.
Obviously it vitality affected the po-
litical state OF our nation. but it
seems to me that it had almost no
economic significance. And so Bel
lamy is still my candidate.

Britain insisted upon a navy much larger
than that Of her nearest rival and was enraged
when Germany proposed to build navy COM
patible with the size and prestige Of the Ger
man Empire
Economic nationalism paralleled the diplo-
matte and military expressions of super
patriotism. Beginning with the German
tariff act Of 1879. the free trade era quickly
came to an end and the age of intense tariff
wars was launched.
This produced economical conflict in a
period of political peace. Imperialism. the
struggle for colonies, protectorates, raw ma
-terials and markets all served to increase ten
sion and ill-feeling

portentious generation which made the war

1t is necessary for the United States to
throw over the sucker role and face realities
Yet we must at the same time remember that
the world has never yet armed for peace and
got peace.

Of industrial concerns, of the looting of going

there was an error, which, to
some extent, miSrepresents a very
interesting section of our great
country.
1 refer to the statement that
Mt. Mitchell, in North Carolina.
is the highest point in the United
States. east of the Rockies. / be-
heve, if you will check my state
ment, you will find that Harvey
peak, in Custer county, South Da-
kota. with height of more than
1000 feet. is the rightful claimant
of that honor.
1t is situated in the midst of
the beautiful Black Hills section
OF South Dakota, near CRYSTAL
Lake, the lake being almost a
mile above sea level, and Harvey
peak towering more than 1000
feet higher. at one end Of the lake.
1t is about twenty miles from the
state game lodge, where the late
President Coolidge spent one
summer.
The gentleman who prepared
your picture was right in one
statement about it. that the west
erners hardly would admit that
Mt. Mitchell was more than a
hill. because the whole section of
southwestern South Dakota con-
tanning Harvey Peak, and many
other scenic wonders, is known as
the Black Hills.
Knowing The Times is almost
always accurate. and that the
mistake was unintentionaI, I trust
you will check my statement. and

Mount Mitchell is given there as 66Sf

We Do Our Part
AN EDITORIAL

THE PRESIDENT appeals TO the nation.
He asks us TO bring back prosperity now.
1t can be done He tells US how it can be done.
Work for all and more pay for all. The
employers part is to reduce hours and raise
wages-a IS to 4O-hour week and sl2 to SIS
minimum wage Labors part is to work on
the Job and TO settle differences peacefully.
The consumers part is 10 buy only products
made and sold under this national recovery
agreement.
Never before have the government and the
people Of the United States embarked upon
such patriotic crusade The stake is high. We
are fighting for economic salvation; for the
right Of millions Of unemployed 70 go back to
work; for the right Of citizens TO keep their
homes; for the right Of business men to save
their business; for the welfare and happiness
of 124 100000 Americans.
There is no other way. Talk can't save
us. Stock market speculation can't revive
business Utopian plans will not help today
and tomorrow
Whatever is done must be done at once
Recovery codes for individual industries are
coming along. That process, however, will re-
quire months. 1t will 90 on. But the country
can not wait.
The country can not wait, because prices
are running away from wages We must have

to buy, need to buy. But the people can not
buy without steady adequate wages
