WISE WORDS

He whom the gods loves dies
young.
Among the smaller duties Of
life I hardly know any one
more important than not prais-
ing where praise is not due.
Smith.
There is but one straight road
to success, and that is merit.
The man who is successful is
the man who is useful. Capacity
never lacks opportunity. It
cannot remain undiscovered be-
cause it is sought by too many
anxious to use it.-Cochran.
For wicked mirth never true
pleasure brings,
But honest minds are pleased
with honest things.
Fletcher.
The brain may devise laws
for the blood, but a hot temper
leaps DER a cold decree.

 Attempts to test the musical ap- preciation of the bsars met with surprising results. Upon being ex- posed to the strains of an accor- dion solo, one bear went into such frenzy that he tore up rocks and threw them about, even going to such lengths as to bite huge mouthfuls of dirt from the ground.
 In spite of all this, Mir. Pack said that one of Alaskas greatest tourist attractions is the big brown bear, which he called a grizzly as increasing numbers are coming in to photograph as well as to shoot the big animals.

is bewildered and knows not what to do with it's leisure. Still mes merized by the bygone curse that man must earn his bread by the sweat of his brow, people look about for ditch to dig or col umn to add, and they would make war on the machine that have despoiled them of their drudgery. So the world today, which might be place of peace and abund- ance, with cultural and spiritual development as mans chief occu- patton, has to appearances, become place of alarm and want. And the end is not yet, for the miracle of production is hardly more than well under way. It can fill the world with comforts and luXuries as the waters cover the sea.
 Have we not in all this a hint of the coming of mans dominion? The intelligence which almost mir aculously has speeded up invention
 
 and released man from toll, can we not trust it to lead him into higher and richer fields of en- deavor where work is unlabored and gloriously productive? Labor, in it's old sense, is nearing its end, let us hope; but on the other hand let us not overlook the fact that man as Gods representative cannot be otherwise than active, and that work and business, more and better than have yet been known, are at hand for those who have the vision to see.
 And men have this vision just so far as they let that Mind be in them which was in Christ Je- sus. That Mind holds the solution for the worlds perplexities; it has a way of escape. Leaning less upon our own understanding and grate- | fully turning to. divine Mind Tor direction, we may confidently ex- pect to find that way and that solution"

SHOPPERS ARE OUT
Tampa Tribune)

OF all the painful memories of World
War time, few can claim the total disgust
inspired, even after is years, by the vol
unteer sneakers and shoppers of that day.
The war came; the nation was to be mo-
bilized; everybody was asked to cooperate
in the spirit of patriotism Then stepped
forward million meddlesome Matties to
make themselves the custodians and the
censors of the souls Of all and ssundry be-
sides themselves. These officious souls
set out upon heresy hunt in the best
style Of the Middle Ages They listened
at keyholes, spread dark hints and cast
over the land that bewildering darkness
that goes with suspicion, the feeling that
every tongue is waiting to whisper evil
things against whatsoever object may
arouse its malice.
This was the way which mean-spirited
individuals took at times to bring punish
ment upon objects of their private dis
like. The whole process drew dark and
contemplate thread through the generally
noble pattern Of the day.
There have been a few signs, as the

depression and poverty, of revival of the
sneaking and shopping of 1917. The vol
unteer detectives are shifting the air again.
It is greatly to be desired that the COM
mon sense of the people should see that
any emergence of this spirit be stamped
upon. The war on which we are now
sembarked is not a war of hate, but war
of friendship and good will. The people
are trying to link themselves arm to arm
to build vast good for US all. There will
be slackers. of course. There is in each
industry and business the power and dispo-
sition to attend to them. The services of
whispegers, sneakers and shoppers are not
needed If permitted to carry on their
petty work they will do more harm than
any Stacker
We will do our part, includes fur
nishing our share Of good temper, good
manners and good will in the difficult work
on which we are now engaged.

UTILITY RATEsFAcr AND FICTION

More or less persistent demands in.
various states that utility rate structures be
reduced in accordance with the drop in
the general cost OF living, show an unfor-
tunate lack in insight into the conditions
governing utility operations.
1t is true that prices, generally, have
hit rock bottom. 1t is likewise true that
utility rates were at bargain levels in the
days when other prices were zooming mer-
rily to the skies. Surveys in 1928 and
whereabouts showed that while the gener-
al price index was two or more times the
1913 standard, the electric and gas rate
index was far below. Even now, utility
rates are lower, in comparison to the pre-
war standard, than are prices generally.
A utility is in q very different posi-
ton from the ordinary business. Capital

as compared with once or twice year in
most businesses. Service must be main
tanned at high level whether business is
good or bad--the company can't close its
plant, as can q manufacturing concern, and
await better days. And, while the ordi-
nary business makes enough profit in good
times to set up handsome reserves against
bad. the utility industry, even during a
boom, is allowed only a very moderate
profit. under public regulation.
Even if we could artificially force
utility rates lower. it would avail US moth
ing. It would damage service, cause I'M.
employment, prevent expansion and inn
provement, penalize investors. and have a
hundred other unfortunate aspects. Rates
will come down. as in the past, when the
industry finds out how to produce and de-
liver power more efficiently and cheaply.
There is no other sound way Of achieving
reductions
