WHAT
ABOUT IT?
By F. <. O'BOYLE

The present position which we, the
educated and well-to-do classes, oc-
cupy, is that of the Old Man OF the
Sea, riding on the poor mans DacK'

we are very sorry for the poor man.

anything for the poor mans reliel-
We will not only supply him with
food sufficient to keep him on MS

him and point out to him the peau-
ties of the landscape; we Will DIS
course sweet music to him and give
him abundance of good advice.
Yes, we will do almost anything
for the poor man, anything but get
off his back.-Leo Tolstoy.
| What is the law of nature? Is 1t
to know that my security and That
Of my family, all my amusements and
| pleasures, are purchased at the ex-
pense of misery, deprivation, and sur
lfering to thousands of human beings
by the terror of the gallows; by the
misfortune of thousands sitting with
in prison walls; by the fears inspired
by millions of soldiers and guardians
of civilization, torn from their homes
and besotted by discipline, to protect
our pleasures with loaded revolvers
against the possible interference OF
the furnishing! Is it to purchase
every fragment of bread that | put in
my mouth and the mouths of my chill

that my piece of bread only belongs

ON OUR
DOORSTEP
BY PARKER T. ANDERSON


In the essays of the late James
Lane Allen entitled AS a Man Think
eth" may be found as good an ex-
PLANTATION of Hitler as that offered by
contemporary writer's. Allen says:
1.-THE aphorism, as a man thinketh
so is he embraces the whole OF
mans being and his character is the
complete sum of all his thoughts.
That Germany has broken the peace
of Europe five times during the past
century is no accident when her 18th
century leadership has been reckoned
with.
While the teachings of Schopen-
hauer, Bismarck and Nietzsche may
have passed over the head of Hitler
who has had no academic training,
they must have sunk deeply into the
consciousness of the Prussian junkers
who assume the intellectual leader
ship of the empire. Schopenhauer
philosopher of great mental strength
but warped in his social leanings
taught that society should be pat
termed after a beehive with workers
to make the honey and queens and
drones to eat it. He had much to
say about the super-man but was
neither definite nor clear as to how
he was to be created He was very
positive as to the duty of the masses.
They are to fulfill their ambitions in
hewing wood and drawing water. The
only other place they are to shine is
in the military. Here they are to
spring forward at the command of
subalterns and do or die for the glory
of some super-man drinking beer in
cool rathskeller thousand miles
from danger. 1t is in Schopenhauer'
philosophy the more horror added to
war the better. Terrify both the mill
tary and civil populations and by
sheer frightfulness and cruelty force
them to capitulate. This will shorten
the war and therefore make it more
humane. Can anyone doubt Hitler is
a disciple of Schopenhauer?
The nazis are not justified in crit
icising the Jews for believing them
selves Gods chosen people. The Jew
has most venerable sacred writings to
bolster his claim. The nazi holds the
Nordics in special favor with some
god who for want of better name
they call super-man. Schopenhauer
was the prototype of Bismarck the
Iron Chancellor and both held democ-
racy in utter contempt. After pillag-
ing his weaker neighbors of lands and
substance Bismarck went the way of
all mortals and the junkers chiseled
upon his cenotaph HE made Ger
many great enough to be his burial
place. A well turned phrase of

orders so that their houses can be
put in shape to receive grain. Some
body is going to be disappointed and
that will be the one who waited too
long and did too little. He will be

TEMBLORS MOVE
CALIFORNIA NORTH
IN SAN FRANCISCO QUAKE EARTH
ALONG FAULT SLIPPED
MANY FEET

/ A thing Californians could boast
about. but are inclined 10 shush-shuSh,
says DR.. John p. Buwalda, is that In
all the world this Is the only area
where the earth slips horizontally IN
earthquakes.
THE shock In the Imperial valley
last May Is put 15-foot Jog IN the
Mexican boundary" said the chairman
Of geology, California Institute Of
Technology. II understand the gov
eminent plans to let the border monu-
ments stand where the earth slip
moved them.
1.-THE earth's crust cracked for a
distance of 40 miles, not wider than
inches, but to a depth Of 20 or 80
miles. On the west side Of the crack
canals, highways and railroads which
crossed it moved northward q maxi
mum Of is feet.
Tn the San Francisco earthquake
of 1906 the earth slipped a maximum
of n feet for 200 miles. There was
a 35-foot slip in the Fort TETON shove
of 1857.
Longest Fault in World
Some Of the streams on the Carriso
plains 20 miles west Of Taft are off
set as much as a mile, evidence of
earthquakes of earlier days.
