HUMAN NATURE CHANGES LITTLE

Human nature changes very little
either for better or worse, and history
gives us the proof
In a speech made over one hundred
years ago, Daniel Webster voiced the
same complaint against the men of his
time as is often made today. A public
speaker could make the same talk now
and it would be just as applicable as it
was more than a century ago.
There are," said Mr.. Webster in
1888, persons who constantly clamor
They complain of oppression, speculation
and the pernicious influence of accum-
uated wealth. They cry out loudly against
all banks and corporations and all means
by which small capitalists become united
in order to produce important and bene-
fetal results They carry on mad hostility
against all established institutions. They
would choke the fountain of industry and
dry all streams. In country of I'm
pounded liberty, they clamor against OPP
preston. In d country of perfect equality
they would move heaven and earth
against privilege and monopoly. In a coun.
try where property is more evenly divided
than anywhere else, they rend the all
houting about agrarian doctrines. In a
couRtJy where wages of labor are high be-
yon1 parallel, they would teach the lahore,
that he is but an oppressed slave

PEACE TALK AND WAR PLANS

Presenting the contradiction of peo-
pairing for war on the largest scale in his
tory, the world, nevertheless, is moving
slowly toward the outlawing of warfare.
This may seem to be a hopeless con-
tradictiOn but some reflection will demon
strate the proof of the assertion. One
should bear in mind that the world almost
since the inception of organized govern.
ment, has featured war and conquest. To
day the old fever still burns the patient s
body but there are recuperative forces
tending to offset the disease of centuries.
While present war preparations pre-
sent no new factor in the world progress,
we doubt if at any time in the past there
has ever been as many forces working to-
ward peace. Gradually human sentiment
is being brought together to achieve ade-
quate machinery for the prevention of war
and Men and women everywhere seem to
be beginning to understand that coopera-
ton will produce greater gains for all thar
the fruitless competition of past ages.
The Citizen hopes that the United
States, as government, and its people az
individuals will do nothing to retard the
development of this cooperative spirit Al
the same time, and without a contradiction,
we do not advocate disarmament as long
as there exists in the world any govern
ment, apparently imbued with hostile de-
s5igns.
Eventually, the peace-loving nations
of the world will get together to curb ag-
gressors. They will have at their disposal
the effective force necessary to maintain
peace through established justice in inter
national affairs. Until this day arrives
and it seems to be far off at the present
time, wise nations will look to their own
protection even while lending their as
sistance to the establishment of goodwill
among all peoples.

NOT OUR OFFICIAL BUSINESS

Once more the suggestion is made
that the President make an official pro
test against the mistreatment of. Jews in
Germany. Rabbi Stephen Wise, President
of the American Jewish Congress, does
not think the United States can wait ''any
longer without loss of self-respect."
The individual resentment felt by
Rabbi Wise, who is widely known as an
eminent citizen, is no doubt justified, but
at the same time, the position of the United
States Government must not be based on
any like for what transpires in the do
nestle development of other powers.
The same question was raised when
the Knights of Columbus demanded a
similar protest against the religious poll
cies of the Mexican Government.
In both instances, the personal feel
ings of individuals in this country how
ever justified, does not warrant any at
tempt on the part of the United States to
interfere with the treatment that any coun-
try gives to its own citizens. How Mexico
and Germany run their own government is
not an official concern of the United States
Government and, by right, should not be.

thought of distance-just swinging.
once watched Walter Travis using
q brassie, where he was getting only
1870 or 140 yards with lazy, easy
half swing, to get the feel Of timing
and hand control. He once told me
that in 80 years Of golf he never
played a careless shot in his life. To
him each shot was q new problem,
calling for all the concentration he
had to give.
You might remember, too, that you
can practice the habit Of concentra-

mean what Jim Barnes calls think

Concentration should be turned
into habit. It won't take care
Of itself.
Concentrating through 18 holes is
one Of the toughest mental jobs I
can think Of. Few can do 1t. Few
in golf ever concentrate correctly on
10 per cent Of their shots. I can
move you into an open championship
and make 1t 40 per cent. Yet there is
no basic element any more important.
