ine) as only one illustration of what
the machine age has done to man.
Howard Scott says that "for five
thousand years in the making of brick
no brickmaker attained more than an
average of $50 bricks day. But a
modern straight line continuous brick
plant will produce 100000 in a day
with 20 men," One man can produce
10000 and does turn out that many.
There never will be again enough
work to give employment to every
man and woman, who is dependent on
work or job, for his or her very
existence. Unless the old, the in

vided by said retirement for the ro-
bust, the young, the strong, each and

No nation can continue to stand the
false monetary system, which for so

We balk at this issuance of govern

There never was dollar placed in
circulation in the United States that
was not supported by the wealth and
credit of the nation. Nor was there
ever dollar placed in circulation in

better, by reason of the tax exempt,
interest bearing bond on which it was
issued.
Then why issue the bond? I won

AS the term of the present post

successor seems to be on the increase
DR.. Hall will probably retire in April,

Probably those who are working

lively chase for the position, with
probably one man in the lead-guess

too much for them to have. Won

how do they reconcile the existing pen

Mr.. E. j. Clarke, Editor,
Worcester Democrat:
The extraordinary engine that built
the Cheops, the Pyramids, the hanging
Garden of Babylon, the Great Roman
highway, the Palace of Versailles,
the Independence Hall of Philadelphia,
was marvel.
This engine has capacity of one
tenth of horse power, and weighs
on an average from one hundred and
fifty pounds to two hundred pounds;
it is very economical in it's demands
for fuel. It's boiler burns fuel at a
very low temperature. 1t is extreme
ly efficient, more so than the mod
ern steam engine. 1t works at a con-
slant pressure and informs the oper-
ator when the fuel is exhausted; con-
tains 230 bearings all of which are
automatically fabricated. 1t wears
extremely we'll in spite of it's enor-
nous complications. With its aid the
Emperor Hadrian constructed an aque
duct that brought water to the city
of Athens. All of us are familiar
with it and have seen it work.
In spite of its efficiency and dura-
bility this engine is becoming obso-
lete and millions of it's models are be-
ing discarded, not being wanted,
thrown. on the "Junk Heap" of unem-
ployment. This engine is called man.
The worlds work has been done by
man for centuries. But machines,
simple in construction, at first, water
wheels, wind mills, the pillow crude
though at first, were all in the begin
ming a great aid to the man, the en-
CINE, and then came one hundred and
fifty years ago the steam machine
invented by Hero of Alexandria, the
