In the days of the old Hagerstown
Fair, horses and buggies were a real
issue, attended by great interest. Per-
haps on more than one occasion the
local citizens, including our parents
and grandparents, as well as many
of the older people living today, were
startled by large sign announcing
at the Fair "a Horse With His Head
Where His Tail Ought To Be-" My
reporter has it that there were very
few fair-goers who did not dig up the
price of admission to see this amaz-
ing horse. Inside, the crowds of
people felt slightly embarrassed to
behold a very ordinary horse stand
ing in a stall backwards, with his
tail at the trough. l suppose you
have all seen the modern version
of this horse-the new Studebaker
On another occasion, at the Fair,
people swarmed again around a
"Place of Wisdom" This time sign
to be had for just small price.
Inside, the 'Wise Man" sat cross
legged on a high table, holding in
one hand a long stick, and in the
other a knife. He slowly and de-
liberately whitfield small chips from
the stick, while solemnly pronounC-
ing Always cut away from yourself
and you will never cut yourself"
My informer recalled that as he was
about to go out one visitor, a man,
became very angry, declaring that
he had been tricked and "gyped."
However this only added to the
amusement of the other people, most
of whom felt that a very good prac-
teal joke had been played upon
them, and that the advice was after
all good advice.

The following extract, taken from
a newspaper dated August, 1922,
gives us a glimpse of trouble of a
kind that we know nothing about
today, except some Of the older peo-
pie, and by stories told to us by our
elders. This story reminds me of a
deep, dark cellar beneath one of my
home-places which was supposed to
have been a slave cellar.

INCONSISTENCY

The law has many inconsistencies and
incongruities too, so that it is not unusual
to hear laynen say that they can not un-
derstand some laws or the motive that
prompted their enactment.
Last week Key Westers were RECALLED
with the deviousness of law as applied
TO two eases that came up in municipal
court
One day a sailor was fined $3.50 for
breaking a parking meter, and the next
day two sailors were fined $50 each for
driving an automobile while drunk,
smashing into three cars, badly damaging
two of them, and then running away from
the scene of the accidents in an attempt TO
evade the police.
The owner of one of the cars that Were
smashed said that she urgently needed it
to take children to her school. and added
that she had not been given any concrete
assurance that the damage to her car
would be paid for by the drunken drivers.
Evidently, the right place to have
tried the defendants was the criminal
court, not the city court Penalties imposed
in criminal courts in cases. of that nature
are severe, as, operating under state law,
the Judge is aware of the danger to life
as we'll as property that is imminent when
drunken person drives an automobile.
However. the Inconsistency in the i'm
position of the penalties in city court is not
the blame of the Judge. A majority of the
city commissioners. for some reason bet
ter known to themselves, has insisted in
making it mandatory on the judge to fine
meter-breaker $3.50, and, conversely,
does not make the penalty stiff enough
for drunken person at the wheel of an
automobile in operation.
Yes, the layman. who bases his reason
ing on common sense, can not understand
the workings of the law in a good many
instances.

terer. curses in the Bible than
those heaped upon the false pas
tors who would heal the wounds
by crying Peace, peace, when
there is no peace.
Make no mistake: The Bible
stands for the material and
worldly well-being of all of Gods
children and His wrath will fall
upon any society that adds
house to house and field to
field until the poor have nc
place" This certainly does not
refer to spiritual houses; but to
places in which men may live,
fields in which they may plant
and reap the fruit thereof;

to offer my testimony to the
goodness of God to His Children,
even before they die.

NEW TYPE OF $l-A-YEAR MAN

1t might be good idea to call attention
to the fact that Roy lie Craw, recently APP
pointed director of a program sponsored
by the Presbyterian Church in the United
States, has turned down $4,000 salary
and will serve as dollar-a-year man.
FIR. LIE Craw, who apparently is in a
position to work year without compensa-
ton. sets a good example for men of
means. He considers it, he says, privi-
lege to do this job" because 1.-The Lord
has taken care Of me in the past and he
believes he can trust Him to do so in the
future"
The example of Mr.. De Craw should be
followed by other men of wealth. It can
not be followed by men who have TO earn
their living every year.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE DOLLAR?

Labors drive for ever-increasing wages,
without compensatory increases in produc-
ton, is tragic example of economic flu
tility.
A pietogram in the United States News
vividly demonstrates what has happened
to the American dollar. In terms of pur-
chasing power, an income that WAS worth
$4.952, after taxes, in 1889, is worth only
S2,815 now. So it goes, up and down che
income scale.
This is not, of course, entirely the re-
suit of increased wages. Many other fac
tors, notably taxation and prodigal gov
eminent spending. must bear their share
of responsibility. But it is an obvious fact
that the cost of labor represents a very
large proportion of almost everything pro-
duced in this country. J
In the past, we raised wages and low
cred prices. We accomplished that be-
cause the output per man increased along
with pay. Since the war, the exact opposite
has occurred. Most basic industries re-
port that, while wages are much higher
than before, production per man-hour is
lower. The consequence of that can be ex-
pressed in a single word-inflation.
The real interest of labor lies in job
seeurity--and in the purchasing power of
the dollar. In self-defense. if for no other
motive, labor must cooperate with man.
agement to get the goods out, to increase
production, and to so control prices. End
less wage demands coupled with decreas-
ed production per man spell ruin for the
American economy That is the hard truth
of the matter.

MONOGRAPH
THE COURSE OF SOCIALISM,

1t would be manifestly unjust to say
that the Labor government created Eng
lands economic problems. Those problems
were principally the result of the drains OF
war on British resources and capital. How
ever, it is undoubtedly true that the Labor
governments basic policy of specialization
and RECOMMENDATION Of the country's pro-
ductive machine is delaying British recov-
cry and sapping the national energies.
Socialism is the great destroyer of I'M
tiative. 1t places all power in the hands of
bureaucrats-and bureaucrats in Eng
land are of the same kidney as bureaucrats
i'm the United States or the Soviet Union.
Their own interests come first. All the ia
cilities of a swollen super-government
are used to keep the people in line The
individual is lost in the red tape Of gov
eminent which has its fingers in every
phase of human activity. There is little
chance for individual progress, and the
rewards for work and ambition are severe
ly limited.
The Labor government came to power
England's economic ills. But it has failed
in every particular. Specialization of the
coal mines has not increased output nor
bettered the lot of the miners Soeializa-
ton of finance has not strengthened Eng
lands world credit position. The threatened
specialization of all British railroads and
electric utilities is expected to cause more
financial troubes-and to further bureau
cratize the country. And the governments
projected agricultural reform bill has
raised storm of protest, on the grounds
that it would permit appropriation of
property and policy of dictation toward
farm owners and workers.
Socialism always takes the same
course. 1t exalts the office-holder and
brushes the rest of the people. Worst of
all, when thoroughly entrenched, it be-
comes extremely sensitive to criticism and
i'll one way or another STILES opposition.
BY its very principles, it is the enemy of
social freedom even as it is the enemy of
economic freedom. The object lesson
which a socialized Europe is giving us
now should make every American deter
mined to resist its further inroads here.
