New England Smithy of
I776 Still i'm Operation

North Andover, Mass.-The town
smithy here, reputedly the oldest
DIN New England, still stands today
where it stood 100 years ago, relic
of the horse and buggy days.
And, despite the motorization of
delivery and farm equipment there
remain, Blacksmith Samuel Lawes
said, enough horses to provide the
means of livelihood
The shop, which Lawes now OPP
crates himself, once employed IL
men. Until few years ago it was
owned by Charles Wilcox, one OF
the oldest blacksmiths in the coun-
try when he retired in his eighty
sixth years.
One of the most notable changes
since the days horse shoeing was a
thriving business is, Lawes said,
that today instead of shoeing most
of the horses in his shop he makes
the shoes there and carries them
around to farms where the shoeing
is done on the premises.
Among exhibits remaining in the
shop are the split irons for the
cloven hoofs of oxen, brown and
faded posters advertising SPAWN
and collie cures, and dust coated,
time stained carriage wheels.

Trail Riders Will Visit
Flathead-Sun River Area

MISSOULA.-Trail Riders of the

which will take them into the
South Fork of the Flathead River
Sun River wilderness for the fifth
consecutive year. This expedition
the first made by the Trail Riders

able locations, are spent resting ano

they wish. The party will return

terrific tax. Simple observance of
one commandment Thou shalt not
steal'-would be equivalent to lift
ing the entire tax burden off our
people.
Crime has very high visibility.
but it is not nearly so important as
some other conditions. We pay a
much sitter price for the moral
apathy of respectable society within
the law. Public life with its de-
plorable standards: oaths of office
VIGOROUSLY violated, rampant dis
orders abetted and protected by po-
htical power; public utterances
scandalously unreliable-these are
infinitely more costly TO the nation
than legal crime. We have wit
messed not merely departure from
principles of recutude in public
life, but a shocking ignorance that
anything like principle exists. What
formerly was concealed for shame,
now passes for bold political clever
ness. The economic consequences
of this are very serious. The same
virus invades our popular intel
lectual and artistic diversions. We
are expected to applaud in the
name of art what self preservation
compels us to condemn in the name
of life. And, as a result, whole
sections of the world of thought
and art are not only morally sterile
but inferior in artistry, illustrating
Emerson's dictum that Talent sinks
with character
Most of us can remember the
time when our habit was to name
the virtues that sustain people.
Grown folks once knew and chill
dren were taught what Chivalry
meant, and Honor, and Responsible
ty and Conscience, and Self-control
The very words were traffic lights
and guideposts People knew the
science of Truthfulness, and why a
lie is a lie; they knew that uttering
falsehood is like making and circu-
lating counterfeit CONT impairs
the most precious medium of ex-
change society has-mutual conf
dence. Somehow it suddenly be-
came questionable TO name the vir-
tues and teach their rational bases
But now we realize what has hap
pened We are rediscovering that
knowledge of virtue and inclina-
ton toward it can be taught, can be
pedagogically imparted,--it is one
of the many good signs of the times
that we are taking it up again, bet
ter equipped than before We are
taking a stand for Character and
Country. We are seeking the found
atoms of honor and character that
gave us public integrity and private
security. This will stimulate our
economic progress, make it real and
not fictitious, change it from mode
of warfare to natural and bene-
ficient growth We need both
wings-the material and the moral
for our strong, straight, forward
flight toward the nation we are to

When we try to make our think
ing truly radical-go to the root
of things-it often appears that the
deep original source of most of our
difficulties is simply-human ma
ture. If it is greed we complain of,
that leads directly back to people.
If it is opposition to betterment, OF
a needless, headlong ignorance that
hurls us deeper into trouble under
guise of betterment, that too comes
from people. OF course, this is not
the whole story of human behavior,
for protest against greed, and scorn
of corruption, and an intelligent
zeal for Improvement of conditions
also come from people, and these
represent the permanent and tri-
umphant forces in life. We must
credit people with what's right with
the world as well as with what's
wrong.
Two ways are suggested of deal
ing with this long recognized factor.
On one hand we are told: The first
thing to do is TO change human ma
ture. You can't have reform with
out regeneration. Betterment must
come from the inside out, not from
the outside in. To look for just
economic conditions before we pro-
duce a higher grade of character is
to expect the impossible"-and there
is abundant justification for that
view. On the other hand we are
told: Human nature is not neces-
sarily bad We have never yet seen
it under favorable conditions. 1t
is thwarted and twisted by adverse
social environment 1t is warped
by economic pressure and fear and
need. But release human nature
from uncertainty, lift the needless
terror of privation, and then see how
fair and generous and helpful it
can be"
Mischief arises from regarding
these positions as opposed or mu-
tualy exclusive, which they are
not. Both are wings of the same adj
vance toward better world. Good
people do make good environment,
and better environment does help to
make better people Moses, the law
giver of Israel, saw that; when he
gave the law of integrity in per-
sonal relations, the Ten Command
ments, he followed it with the eco
nomic law, as if to say that moral
personal life demanded a moral
social framework for its fulfillment,
and just economic environment re-
quired moral people for its main
tenance.
Now, theoretically we acknowl-
edge this relation between eco
Monies and ethics; practically we
often ignore it. We are not nearly
so character conscious as we used
to be. And yet, if we knew what
heavy backward drag on progress
this has been, if we knew that the
intenSest economic interest leads to
nothing Of itself, we might be per-
suaded to increase our national
emphasis on character.
We are not abiding to crime just
now, though the records of crime
prove the relation between morals
and economics. Crime costs us in
