There is an old Jewish statement
which describes a scene, a thought,
and a conversation before the earth
was born. We are told that when God
thought of creating the world He
consulted the Moral Law and said:
20 Torah, I am about to create the
world. For what good is a King with
out subjects? I shall build a world
with men and women to worship
me-" Thereupon the Torah made
this strange reply: 20 Eternal God, I
pray Thee, do not create this earth
and the men upon it, for no mat
ter how beautiful you will make it,
no matter how lovely its rivers, its
trees and it's eternal mountains, the
evil inclination in man will grow
corrupt and mar n his evil will de-
stroy the splendor of Your work. o
God, I pray Thee, do not create the
world for men will mar it's beauty"
To which God, the Eternal made
reply: IT have foreseen the evil of
man. I foresee their corruption. I
foresee their transgressions, but I
shall create first a hell to punish the
inlquitous and then repentance which
will touch and convert and purify
their evil hearts," Thereupon the
Moral Law grew silent and God
created this world of ours.
So u world a. born and so it
has grown old. By now one part Of
the prophecy has indeed come true.
Hell exists. 1t exists here on earth,
a hell of hate and murder and de-
struction. But will the other half
Of the prophecy likewise be verified?
Will mar ever repent of his evil, be
cured of his corruption till the world
becomes beautiful once more as the
Divine Artist intended?
1t is evident to anyone who gives
the matter thought that in the quar-
er of a century since the first world
war something terrible has happen
ed to the nature Of man. A new cal
lousness has been developed, a new
contempt for pity. The human heart
in these twenty-five years has been
Systematically corrupted. Mankind
is more brutal than it has been in
hundreds of years. Although cruelty
has always existed and although
mercy still exists, no observer can
doubt the terrifying fact that the
world contains more cruel people,
more callous people, more murder
Gus people than ever before. It is
as if a disease which once vas mar
rowly local has suddenly become
epidemic. There are more brutes in
the modern world than the world
has had in centuries.
Nowadays the word LEADERSHIP"
and LEADER have acquired new
and shocking significance. Millions
of people in many lands are taught
not merely that their leader will
guide them to the right but that he
himself can do no wrong, not merely
that their leader will clarity their
thinking but that he will do their
thinking for them. A new genera
ton has risen which accepts propa-
ganda slogans as heavenly Truth and
the opinion of their national leader
as divine revelation. This has be-
come an age when the human mind
has resigned its tasks and has trans

Boom Town in Oklahoma
Has Woman Dictator
Who Runs the Place.

DISNEY, OKLA.-It was nearly
shutdown and at her home on Sweet
Home avenue, Alice Stephens, Dis
ney's dictator" was entertaining
visitors.
The gathering wasn't unusual, be-
cause Alice has visitors often. She
encourages them, and the townsfolk
like to drop around and chat.
A big, dark-haired woman with a
ready smile, Alice-that's what all
Disney calls hers as Well-liked
as anyone in town. Aside from her
dictator" job, sort Of mayorship,
she operates a beer parlor and often
serves foaming mugs herself to the
workers on the $40, 000,0 600 Grand
River dam after hours.
Alice IS typical of the people who
live in this hilly boom town that
sprawls over a neck of land bounded
on three sides by the Grand river
She works hard, but she doesn't
neglect recreation. She has a firm
conviction that the future of Disney
is prosperous one and enters
readily into publicity schemes to
further the towns progress.
The whole town has entered into
an amazing cooperation concerning
booster publicity"
Election Was Stunt.
For instance, last year when the
"Capers VS.. Curfew" election
caught the eyes of newspaper edi-
tors, the entire population of 800
now 2,500-were "conspirators" in
the scheme.
Outwardly, the election was an
above-board one between Billy
Baker, advocate of an-night stomp
dances Ito let these dam workers
have their fling" and Vera Silar,
who said the town should be closed
at 9 p. M, so the working men
can get the sleep they should have"
The winner was TO run the town
and her platform was to decide
'Disney's evening social schedule
Billy won. Alice defeated her in a
reelection campaign.
The entire affair was a stunt. II
was Matched by the two men who
have made Disney the lusty little
place it sc D. Armstrong, Dis
ney's founder, and Hap Haggard.
Armstrong, the man behind the
town, is an old-time town booster. I"
He staked out Berger, Texas, and
cleaned up selling townsites there
only to lose everything he had in
oil. Disney is his comeback
Main street is bordered by un-
painted, wooden structures Part
of the town is composed of rows of
tent houses. Workers on the dam
rent them for $3.50 week. Small,
rudely constructed houses are full,
with renters paying up to $3.50 a
month.
'ShOreline' Sites Sold.
Where now extend wooded tracts
on the edge of the town, the back
water from the mile and a quarter
dam will form lake. 1t will al
most surround Disney. Armstrong
has estimated the height of the res
-ervoir water and the limit of the
shoreline so that he sells lots which
now are on barren hillside with the
assurance that a year from now
''you can fish from your front
