The shadows are deepest con-
corning finance simply because
there is a press, controlled by the
powers that be, which instructs
the masses in such matters. The
instructions are written by the
money changers or those who
hope some day to be such. What
is stated as a fundamental prin-
ciple of finance is fundamental
not necessarily because it is a
truth but because it is to the adj
vantage Of the money changers
that it be fundamental.
The bonus bill will be passed
but in such a form that it will
take twice as much money to pay
it. No, a thousand times no. This
government would collapse with a
two and a half billion mortgage
on it, just as a man is sure to lose
his $4,000 farm if he puts a $40
mortgage on it.

PLEADS FOR OPERATION OF
CITY-OWNED UTILITIES

BY F. S. p.
I favor municipal ownership and
distribution Of public used utilities,
such as electric power, gas, water,
telephone, city limit transportation,
milk purifying and delivery, bread
making and delivery and so on. So
long as we have laws and judges
protecting private monopoly Of these
very things, the non-ownerS, the SO
per cent Of the users, will have to
pay profitable prices or do without
these very things that they need.
Mr.. Reader: If you are a work.
err in any of these industries you
have nothing to fear about losing
your job or receiving a wage cut,
for your position would be more Sc
cure and your wages higher. If you
are only a customer and have
mind of your own (not monoplizeO
you can only be benefited by munich
pal ownership. There is no sense
in having 10 milkmen delivering
milk on the same street as there
would be no sense in having 10 post
men delivering letters on the same
street.
To get away from this nonsense,
we must get municipality mind
ed. 1t is not enough to elect mayors
and councilmen to achieve these
ends, but most important is to elect
state legislators and judges.
We have a demonstration at
Huntington, Ind, where an electric
power company is using one of our
laws and judges to prevent the city
owned electric plant extending wires
and furnishing electric power to
homes of Huntington citizens at
cheaper rate.
The same thing would hap
pen to indianapolis or any other
Indiana city as long as utility
company had its way.

ing to lose but the chains around
your brains.

Every one who listens to Father
Coughlin knows that his doctrines

by Jesus Christ nearly 1000 years

The same kind are still at it.
Yes, Father Coughlin has made
two promises and kept them. Name
ly, to enlighten US concerning the
government Of this nation; to help
us rid ourselves of the evil injustices
in it.
Long, loudly and lovely were the
promises made by Mr.. Roosevelt. I
wish could say they. too had been
kept.
So the Protestant clergy is pre-
pairing to crack down" on the Ma
tional Union.
They'd better be preparing an
answer to this question:
Why haven't they taught us the
causes of our misery and showed
us a way out? Were they, like the
vast majority of laymen, ignorant
Of the bitter facts, or were they.

The President will undoubtedly
veto the Patman bonus bill. Senator
Harrison's bonus bill was said TO
have executive support. SO the veto
is not on the bonus but on the
method Of payment. The President
could balance the budget if he had
the courage to levy taxes as they
do in England. In fact, he could
levy a capital tax on idle funds, in
stead Of encouraging idle funds TO
go into Government loans and
thereby increasing the government
debt.

An Intimate Glimpse
OF Mark Twain at Work
Continued From Third page.)

Department Building that is now fin
ished and occupied You will see
pale-faced clerks, men and women,
bending over desks, writing and fgur-
ing their lives away in order to OBJ
tain that which sustains their lives.
A Washington clerk seldom gets more
than this and, under the civil service
reform scheme, the Government clerk
is becoming more and more OF ma
chine. and less and less an active.
thinking, growing man.
AS stand here on this marble pave
ment and think of the lives that will
be eaten up, of the enterprise shriv-
eled into inertia, and of the manli-
ness wasted in this building in
time to come, it makes me shud-
der. Young men will enter it full
of hope and courage, full of brains
and energy. When they begin,
their thousand or more dollars a
year will seem good pay to them. and
they will work with a will, hoping to
rise through the various branches un-
til their earnings will equal those of
a cabinet minister. 1t will not be
long, however, before they will find
that they are fighting the windmills,
and are lost in the old grind of copy
ing other mems writings, or posting
dead books, where they have not the
opportunity for the exercise Of an
original thought. Their brains will
waste away from lack of use. The
lazy hours of from 9 o'clock till 4
will eat up their energy until some
day in the future they will wake up
to the fact that they have been swal-
lowed by that great monster cannibal
called the Government, which not
only eats up mems bodies but their
souls as well.
At this time some of them may
attempt to cut themselves loose, but
their efforts will be as futile as those
of the LAGOON. The snakes of habit
and inertia have wound themselves
about their frames. They will mark
time until at last death will come
to take away what it thinks to be of
so little value as to be hardly worth
the taking. This will be the case
If the civil service reform prevails.
If it fails the Government clerks
position will be none the better. He
is bound to be dependent upon his
superiors at best, and the lack of civil
service rule makes him all the more
of a sycophant and a toady. There
is no worse employer than the Gov
ernment and I would rather work for
o Scrooge than for Uncle Sam.

which led him to make the serious in
in this book. The real difficulty of
the Jew, he finds, is the law of the
community of kind. When there are
few Jews in a community. differ
enceS pass unnoticed; when there are
many. differences are accentuated and
Jews become unwelcome. When a
State is strong, Jews are usually well
coined and absorbed when a State
is weak, community of kind develops,
with resistance to strangers, and the
Jew is the first to suffer.
The chapter Jews That Pass" met
the disapproval of some of Mr.. So
kolsky's Jewish friends who saw it in
advance. 1t throws much light on
various types of Jews; the orthodox
Jews still practicing the observances
of their religion, the Jews who have
repudiated their religion from sincere
change of belief and the Jews who
have repudiated it either for them
selves or for their children for rea-
sons of social and economic advance
ment. In connection with these claSSi-
fications he gives examples of many
prominent people. The chapters on
discrimination examine evidences of
discrimination in schools, colleges,
clubs. social life, politics, business and
professions and point out under what
circumstances discrimination has
some Justification and when it has
none In his final chapter, Mr. So
kolsky says that the only feasible
solution of the Jewish problem is
"the spiritual return of the Jew to
Palestine, to his God, to his tradition.
It is true that most Jews in this
world cannot and will not move their
bodies to Palestine, just as all Catholics
do not move their bodies to Rome or
all MoSlemS to Mecca"

Compton. New York: H. w. VIII
son Co.
THE assistant librarian of the st.
l. Louis Public Library, having Curl
osity both professional and personal
about the reading tastes of the users
of the library. made some studies,
using as tests the authors mentioned
in his subtitle because they have long
been especial favorites of his own.
Such an arbitrary choice of course
raises the question whether results
might not have been vastly different
had another group of authors been
chosen. It will be admitted, however,
that these are far above the ephemeral
and the trashy, supposed to be favored
by the general public, and that they
represent different degrees of high
browism. The results of the studies
are interesting. I omit statistics and
give only few conclusions. DR.. Comp
ton came to the conclusion that Mark
