MORE EVIDENCE or
DAMN FOOuSHNESS'
Uaverh.II Mass GaIrtfe1

OHNerhal Mass Gafrtfe1
Since fhe World WaF. fH. country has
Witnessed aprraathes - extremes II gov
Crnmcntal policy Under Coolidge. We
had an OVERRIDING ni - "Ief Hcll enough
alone" policy Indtr Roosevelt. Ne are
having a. OVERRIDING II tie "do some-
thing about it' policy.
The probability is that if Coolidge had
done something about the extraordinary
prosperity of his gra the depression
would not have been so bad. The Ger
tainty Is that II Roosevelt were more
willing - let well enough alone We would
not be in our present state 81 distress.
Roosevelt is not willing 10 let we'll
enough alone IN the sense that be i will
ing To continue operation of the system
under which the country developed
wealth and power lie listens too much
TO fuzzy-mnded advisers who are telling
him that the system should he Iunked and
new one constructed
Dispatches from Washington indicate
that now he is playing with another idea
that is necessary 90 a new system. II Is
not a new idea. / Is the idea of applying
to commerce and industry the principle
of regulation that has been applied 10
agriculture. A disastrous experiment with
this idea was made with the NRA. but
the sorry outcome did not discourage the
left-wing theorists. They want il tried
again and the President is reported 10
be listening to them with friendly ears.
They forget certain vital facts. that
were first presented 10y the London
Sphere and that have twice been present
ed in these columns. They can not be
repeated too often.
They are the facts that the United
States, with six per cent of the worlds
area and seven per cent of the popula-
tion. consumes l8 per cent of the worlds
coffee, 56 per cent of its rubber. 2l per
cent of its sugar, u per cent of its pig
iron, AZ per cent of its copper and so
per cent of its crude petroleum, that II
operates so per cent of the telephone and
telegraph facilities, 33 per cent of the
railroads. and 80 per cent of the motor
cars, that it produces 20 per cent of the
oil, 60 per cent of the wheat. 30 per cent
of the copper and iron, and 10 per cent of
the coal and lead. that il possesses nearly
half of the worlds supply of gold and
two-thirds of its banking facilities, and
that the purchasing power of its l30.-
100000 people is greater than that of
Europe'S 550,000,000.
What amazed the London compiler of
these statistics was the evidence that
pompous American statesmen. who look
ed over this vast and rich estate, could
conclude, as too many of them have done,
that the methods by which it was acquir-
ed were all wrong, ought to be abandon
ed, and political management substituted
fo" individual initiative and superstition.
His conclusion was that the attempts
of the New Deal government to remake
the system were Just damn foOlishness"
The reports from Washington of revival
of schemes TO supplant in commerce and
industry political management for in
dividual initiation are more evidence of
more damn foolishness", more evidence
of OVERRIDING of the do something about
it policy" What we need now is more
of the "let well enough alone policy.

ton OF the pocket mice, these little
harvesters are the smallest Of our
North American rodents.
What these little fellows lack in size
they make up in energy. They have
been mistaken for the dainty white
footed mice, and they are close cousins
to them, but a closeup will show the
difference at once. The sharvesters
have a brown coat with soft, reddish
brown tints, and the under parts are
a dingy gray tinged with fulvous. The
feet look as if they had on dainty
half hose. The large ears are dusky,
and 50 is the long slender tail.
Harvest mice may be found on the
open grassy spaces. Here they can
find seeds Of the grains and grasses
found In this territory. Some green
vegetation Is eaten, and on occasion
fruit is added to the diet. As the
colder days come along and the grain
ripens these thrifty little harvesters

and soon are to be seen well laden

The places selected by the harvest
mice for their abodes are most inter-

shrubs, deserted birds nests and even
large cornstalks are some of the sites
chosen. The nest or bedroom Is made

Their theology was fauItless-
their reasoning was logical, but
their premise was wrong. They
were right in saying that only God
could forgive sin. But they were
wrong in assuming that Jesus was
not God, and therefore a bias
phemer. Be careful, young man or
young woman, that the fluent
smoothness of some philosophers
logic may not make you go astray.
The reasonings of men apart from
the wisdom of God are often a
snare and a delusion.
v. Miraculous Confirmation wv.
8-12).
Forgiving sins was harder than
healing the body, but these enemies
of Jesus lived so much in the realm
of the physical that they missed
that important truth. He meets the
challenge of their unbelief by going
into their own limited field of OBJ
servation. They were not able to
test the effectiveness of His forgive
ness of sins. They did not believe
in Him, hence they would not re-
ceive it by faith. They were, how
ever, entirely able to judge a
physical miracle, and as a miracle
of confirmation Jesus healed the
man of his palsy.
Let US remember that the Incl.
dent took place in the early days Of
our Lords ministry While we dc
not condone their hostility to the
tender and loving service of ouI
Lord to humanity, we can under.
stand their slowness to accept his
claims to divine power. In oul
day we have no such excuse, fol
all gospel history is available to us
God help US that we may not sit il

mand a sign" before we will be
