Consumers won't get interested
If the meat packers who think the
processing tax is wrong would knock
about that much off the price of
meat. Perhaps should the courts
decide in their favor there would be
great scarcity on hogs, and con-
sumers wouldn't know anything

papers.

Men live, work, teach, preach, al

sometimes some seem to get a way
UP, then they pass out and in few
years later about all you can learn
of them is that they lived and died.
Unless one happens to stumble on
to their tomb stone, we are unable
to find when they came and when
they went.
Methodist ministers are hard to
track. Church records as a whole
are the poorest kept of any records

Militarism's Burdens.

Outside of Japan the impression pre-
walls that the aggressive campaign which
the army has been pursuing on the
Asiatic mainland ever since the occu-
patton of Manchuria evokes little oppo-
sition in Japan on the ground of cost.
The people are represented as enthusi-
astic supporters of the plan to make
Nippon supreme in the Far East, espe-
cially as the overload of China. Hitherto,
army leaders have experienced little
difficulty in selling" their imperialist
program. The nation has absorbed I'M
questicningly repeated issues Of bonds
to meet mounting military and naval
budgets.
Finance Minister Takahashi has ven-
tured to call halt on the practice Of
heavy domestic borrowing for these
purposes. He demands an end to
deficit bonds" Last week he issued q

habits and adopt our ideals. Some one
said that sixteen decides sixty" by
which he meant to imply that what we
fix in the way of ideals or standards Of
conduct in our youth largely determines
our attitude when we are mature. We
believe this to be largely true. On the
other hand, how often do we discover
in ourselves lapses from early ideals
and professions when the hard and
sometimes bitter experiences Of life have
disillusioned us. In our religious con-
victions and practices we show great
variability. Indeed in our acceptance
and practice Of certain definite, and what
we once regarded as fundamental prin-
ciples, we show indecision and apathy.
This may be and frequently is due to
lack of early training and a careless
acceptance Of definite moral and re-
ligious obligations.
I constantly meet reflective and high
minded men and women who frankly
speak OF the loss of their religious faith
and trust, tracing it wholly to lack of
proper understanding of its meaning
through the neglect Of those who in
their youth trained them. Such men
and women are to be pitied and treated
with Christian charity. Under later
and better tutelage many such recover.
The large and insiStent question for
those of us who have lost religious feel
ing and the zest and refreshment that
come from unbroken religious practices
is: aye did run we'll; who did hinder
your" All too frequently the hindering
has resulted from our own selfish wills
and moral instability. We gave UP,
perhaps gradually. our devotional habits
and our deep religious convictions, be-
cause they cut across our convenience
and interfered with our ease and indul-
gences. To live by what in earlier years
we had professed laid too costly a toll
upon what We had come to believe was
our personal liberty. The right kind
of moral and religious profession is
costly, and it ought to be. 1t neverthe-
less has its compensations and salts
factions. Hindered lives, how many
there are! Disappointed men and women,
disillusioned and often embittered, who
might, if they would, by consistent self
diagnosis, find the hindrance not out
side and beyond, but within and of
themselves. "Ye did run we'll; who did
hinder you?"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1935-06-30

Writing q letter to people who at
times had shown stability and staying
power a writer Of old penned the words:
aye did run well; who did hinder you?"
Something had happened; their course,
begun with promise, had suddenly been
slowed down and halted. 1t was nat
ural inquiry and a searching one. There
is no answer given to the query, but 1t
comes to us repeatedly as we survey
our own record and the record Of those
in whom we reposed confidence and high
expectations. There is an old maxim
that valedictorians rarely fulfill the
promises of their early distinction. They
made an enviable record in the closing
days of their academic life, but, too sat-
iSfied with their honorS, they SUISSE
quently failed to follow UP their position
of gained advantage.
Again, we have noted in those whose
early careers in the professions and
other occupations were begun with
acclaim and promise Of real distinction
that the later tests found them unready
to meet crises and emergencies that
tested their stability and powers OF en-
durance. They were surpassed in the
race by other and less promising COM
petitors. The old adage comes to memory
and it is one that we need to heed
throughout the whole race Of life: Be
ware when all men speak well Of thee"
In too many cases applause and undue
expectations prove disastrous to the one
to whom they are given. Many prom
Using genius has suffered defeat and
tragic disappointment through too much
adulation. We do not have to cultivate
an inferiority complex to keep ourselves
within bounds, but the grace Of humility
is valuable asset under any and all
conditions. Possibly what we all need in
the early days, yes. and all along the
way, is measurable Self-reStraint and
constant self-discipline to fit us to meet
each emergency as it comes. Training
does not belong to any specific period,
it belongs to all periods. To abandon
study and the replenishing of spent
energies means to be defeated when the
time of testing is at hand. What is
true OF our physical and intellectual ca
pacities and reserves is true of our moral
and spiritual resources. The early years
find us most impressionable and recep-
tive. 1t is then that We acquire our

to regulate the sale of stocks and bonds
has retarded recovery by making it more
difficult for industry to obtain money
with which to expand.
In recent months changes have been
worked out that appear to satisfy Dor
rowers, with the result that industry Is
coming into the market for money and
is finding it is available in large guam
titles at low cost.
Mr.. Roosevelt. according to his friends,
now is in a position to tell critics of his
policies that the restrictions about which
private industry complained for two
years are removed or in process of re-
moval. The dollar remains the strong
est currency in the world, the national
credit is high, and the groundwork Is
laid for recovery.
Mr.. Roosevelt's strategy on the polit-
icaI chess board, SO his advisers assert,
leaves him with strong vote appeal in
1895, regardless Of how the original New
Deal program fares In and out Of court.

thing must be done to safeguard their
homes from the fire demon. Seven OF
them organized a volunteer fire depart
ment. These coteries of semi-urban
jewellers used to be called "vamps,"
word that is supposed to have been de-
rived from the name Of the forepiece OF
q flreman's hat. Soon their numbers
were quintupled. The members paid
twenty-five cents month for expenses
and benefit parties served the dual pur-
pose of raising funds and giving the
people entertainment. Apparatus OF
sort was acquired. A railroad company
contributed the great iron rim OF an
obsolete locomotive for use as a fire
alarm. Then came a slick city sales
man and persuaded the Fire Department
that the town should have a regular
fire siren, a real hooter that could be
heard for miles and would arouse every
vamp and all the auxiliary helpers re-
quired for any emergency. He installed
the siren before it was really ordered.
He appeared after month and took
$25 down payment and disappeared.
After a time the manufacturing con-
Germ pressed for payment of the balance.
1t could not be raised. Parties and
benefits and socials were held, but the
money seemed to dribble out in expenses
and perhaps into other channels. and
the debt remained. Now the company
has seized the siren and also all OF the
equipment of the Fire Department, and
North Great Shore is without its pro-
lection and back to the frontier status
of the early days prior to 1881.
And all Of this is happening within
twoscore of miles of the big city. The
people are now wondering whether 1t
really pays to be on the fringes of Ameri-
can civilization.
