intelligent people in responsible

NO DEFENSE

more or less than that old fash
ioned hoss tradin' policy upon
which our Government was
founded and through which
every American citizen from
bootblack to billionaire has got
ten his chance.
There is, of course, no use
pretending that hoss tradin' is
a parlor game or easy on cry
babies or Softies. It isn't.
There's also no use pretending
that everyone will come out
even after a hoss tradin' bout.
They won't. The strong, smart
and thrifty will undoubtedly
corner the full corral, and the
weak and lazy will be left hold
ing the busted brides. But
there's nothing new nor sinister
in that situation. It's Life!
Life isn't a parlor game.

but demands that each man
play his own hand and take the
odds-or else!
A fact which we Americans
have not only hitherto recog-
nized but appreciated and put
into practice-and to which we
credit all the spunk and initia-
tive we possess. And now sud-
denly we're calling it FasciSm,
crying wolf! Wolff"
This is, Heaven knows, no de-
fense of greed. Having been the
Little Fellow all my own life I
thoroughly appreciate his posi-
tion and resent any unfair prac-
tices. But could any practice be
more unfair or demoralizing
than this sudden, hysterical de-
mand that someone protect us
from the Boogey Man and make
the Big Boys play pretty? And
suppose we get what we want
suppose Hoss Tradin' is abol-
ished and we all become Teach
er's Pets with the plums handed
around regardless - just how
will it end?

of a scientific institute whose
purpose would be to reveal man
as a unit, with the physical and
metaphysical as one.
"What we need to do to i'm

and improving on them before
we would have any results"
TELEPATHY
Perhaps Of more immediate
and general interest is DR.. Car
reps announcement that he has
proved conclusively by expert
ment that every human is en-
dowed with telepathic power,
and that some of us possess
weird powers of telepathy and
clairvoyance. When he men
tions telepathy, DR.. Carrel
strikes upon a fascinating sub
ject, one which has attracted
thinkers for the past SO years.
Prof. Meyers, in 1882, coined
the word "telepathy" and
described it as:
"The communication Of i'm
pressiOns of any kind from one
mind to another, Independent
of the recognized channels of
sense"
Thousands of tests are made
each year in all parts of the
world, and as DR.. Hereward
Darlington states, thousands of
tests have proved telepathy is
a reality and that one mind
can affect another at con-
siderable distances, seemingly
instantaneously.
A notable experience in
telepathy was recorded about
10 years ago at Harvard. AS
reported by DR.. Gardner
Murphy, 1t told how one OF

racy" started? Most of us didn't
even know how to pronounce 1t.
But there, according to the
wise Boys, was the explanation
of all our troubles. So, within
a week, everyone from the gar"
hage collector to the Supreme
Judge was babbling Technoc-
racy.
Now it's Fascism. For years
the words been kicking around
with no one paying much atten-
ton to it or knowing exactly
what it meant. We had a vague
notion it had something to do
with dictators like Mussolinl'
But what of it? Why should we
worry over what they did in Eu-
rope? Then, suddenly somebody
applied the phrase to our own
pain-in-the-neck. Said that fas-
cism was responsible for all our
misfortunes, from blighted rad
ishes to rioting bolsheviks. And
straightway we developed a case
Of national jitters.
DEFINITIONS
Has the price of hog feed
dropped in Boop-a"doop Corners?
Is the false eyelash business
languishinG? Has Mister Jones
fired his office boy or told the
Missis she can't have that new
fur coat? Hitherto we'd have
taken such incidents as part
of the days work. Now-thanks
to the Wiseinskis-we know of
their sinister significance.
THEY'RE FASC1SM!
We're not-sez they-the free
and equal people we've kldded
Ourselves we were. We're not run
ming our own country according
to our own notions. We're down
trodden slaves in the bloody
grip of despots! And who might
those despots be?
Definitions differ but it's fairly
well agreed that anyone who
has more than $13.75 in the bank
and can afford hired man is a
Capitalistic Cannibal, subsistlng
on the blood, bones and broken
hearts of his fellow citizens.
All of which should give any
Yankee a hearty attack Of the
tee-hees if he had a mite OF
humor left. But unfortunately
we're short on humor this sea
son. So the FasciSm tWltters

"NO extension of our knOwI-
edge of sight and hearing is
going to throw the smallest
light on these strange phe-
nOmena. What I urge everybody
to remember is that these ex-
periments cOnclusively prove
that there is a wholly unknown
method of traverSing space be-
tween two conscious organisms"
DR.. Carroll mentions the fact
that his fellow countryman, Prof.
Charles Richet, of the University
of Paris, was the first physiolo-
gist to accept telepathy as the
sixth sense. Prof. Richet made
this declaration in Edinburg in
1928. In announcing his depart
ure from classic physiology, he
pointed out that when the i'm
mortal Harvey discovered the
circulation of the blood by in
controvertible experiments, he
destroyed the classic physiology
of Galen, Hipprocrates and
Aristotle and provoked for Is
years the indignation of the pro-
fessors. "
Prof. Richet said that he had
proved to his own satisfaction
and could prove to others that
for the knowledge of reality
there were other channels than
the sensory and normal chan
nels.
He was the first to link radio
with telepathy when he pointed
out on that occasion that stand
ing in the room he could hear
no music. 1t was necessary only
to have wireless telegraphic
apparatus" and then everyone
there could hear music from
miles away.

Private Grogan's happiness resulted from
these two facts: (a) Sally McEwen of the
