POOR DIR. MILLER-HE is SLIPPING

Saws DR.. Jullan y. hIlIeA III. nv Ch''-
lotte Observer:
A man ought to be allowed to make as much
money as ne can just man ought to be pfiVl-
legged to write the best book of which he is capa-
bic, run the best farm, operate the best factory
or make the best speech be the best docto:'
lawyer or preacher
Now. what do you. think of that? What
an old-fashioned, out-of-date person TINS
DR.. Miller is Where has he been for the
past ten years or more, while the world
was being made over to the order of So
cialists and Communists, not to mention
those who loudly proclaim themselves
liberals" or 'progreSsiveS" DR.. Miller
does not appear to realize that he has
fallen hopelessly behind the times. In fact,
he is taking position that does not mere
ly stamp him as being out of date, but may
involve him in grave danger; for we sus-{
pect that in few years, in this former
LAND of the free" the expression of such
views as Dr. Miller holds may subject
citizen to penitentiary sentence, perhaps
get him suspended at the end of rope
or procure seat in the electric chair.
We admire Dr. Miller'S nerve, but can
not commend his judgment. We fear that
if he continues along the road he has
mapped out, as thinker and writer, that
DR.. Miller will ultimately land right in the
middle of trouble and lots of it.
The idea of a newspaper contributor
voicing such Seditious utterances as that
"A man ought to be allowed to make as
much money as he can"-or, write the
best book, run the best farm, operate the
best factory, or make the best speech, of
which he is capable" Stuff and nonsense!
Where has DIR. Miller been while the new
order was being unfolded?-not to men
ton the New Deal.
Is he not aware that the age of stand
ardization is here?-that the human fam
lily and all of its interests and activities in
this former Republic are to be shaped and
controlled by political cars in Washing
ton, according to the pattern of the dicta-
tors of Russia, Germany or Italy, with
such changes as happen to terminate in
the twisted intellectS of American expert
mentors?
DR.. Miller should know by this time
that religion, education, economics, bust
ness, industry, literature and all the mat
tiers and affairs, the labor and efforts,
which engage the human family are now
and hereafter to be shaped and controlled
by the real masters of men who sit in the
nigh places in the nations capital; and he
should know that everything pertaining 90
the human family and its development and
life here in the United States is to be lev
eled DOWN, not UP.
Humanity must be standardized The
race must be, in so far as possible, made
into filters of white rats, or poodles, or
ground squirrels-that is, all of the hui
man race except the political dictators who
will teach the animals how to do tricks.
Under the new plan for controlling the
race and standardizing and regimenting
all human endeavors, the citizen with the
capacity to make a fortune will be- held
down to the earning capacity of the man
with the least ability to make money; the
man, who has the ability to write great
book will be compelled to confne his lit
erary efforts to mediocre, production; the
citizen who would be the best farmer in
his community or county will have to be
content with beinglt the same kind of farm
