Mans BeostHness

OF all the creatures Of the
earth, man is ever the hun
CRY one. Almost without ex-
ception, all other creatures
kill for survival and live
their lives according to the
dictates Of instinct.
OF all the creatures in
habiting the earth, man
alone was endowed with an
intellect, with reasoning
power rather than blind in
stinct. This, supposedly, sets
man apart from all other
creatures.
Survival now depends upon
mans will to conquer his own
hungry heart - upon his
ability and willingness to
heed that part of his inner
self that links man to his
Creator-concern for others.
Man must not play at civili-
cation - he must put into
actual practice the concept
of civilization.
That is in essence the plea
Wild Horse Annie made
when she, in her selfless con-
Germ for the plight of the
wild horses, appeared before
Congress to ask for laws to
eliminate cruel practices in
rounding up wild horses for
slaughter.
BY all means, let us have
the law to assure humane
treatment Of animals used in
the manufacture Of pet food.
In the meantime, if there
is today a pet food on the
market whose makers can
honestly say and prove that
animals slaughtered for this
purpose have been raised,
captured and killed by the
most humane m thodS
known-then I will buy only
that brand and promote its
use by my performing friends
at all times.

Health Insurance

The Government health
insurance legislation for
Government workers and
their families, now pending
in Congress, has at least two
serious implications. First,
employees are required to join
the plan to avail themselves
of the financial gain. All en-
ployes are not socialistically
minded as this legislation re-
quires.
Second, it sets up the ma
chinery for added bureauc-
racy and obligates the Gov

we have too much of already.

Effect on Politics Seen
The labor-industry strug-

lieve that angry labor will go
all out for the next Demo-
cratic presidential nominee
and for Democrats for con-
gressional Office.
Organized labor, however,
does not constitute a major
ity of the vote in this coun-

the rank and file of the labor
unions will go along with la
Dor leaders who force them
to undergo the rigors of
strikes and unemployment.

1t should be obvious to the
leaders of organized labor
that a continued rise in labor
costs, accompanied by in

featured products, can price
American goods out of foreign
markets, and out of domestic
markets, too. That is what
is going to happen, as sure
as God made little apples,
unless a halt is called by men
who have sense enough to see
beyond the end of their noses.
Why should this country
continue to spend billions of

The story Of any day is the
story Of every day.
That is the marvel of life.
Also of light.
It is light, after all, that
gives us the day and the
night, too.
Mostly we fail to marvel
at the daily procession Of
light and dark, of sunshine
and shadow, of all the hap
penings in light and shadow.
These are marvellous facts
known to US all and soon
forgotten.
X X X \
Children now and then,
but not always, realize these
things better than adults.
Perhaps it is the world
of imagination, achieved
through imitation, they in
habit.
A small boy can turn a rug
with curled-up edges into a
flying machine, and a little
girl a doll into a baby.
These things we all know,
but commonly we forget the
marvel of them.
To hold the sense of
marvel, at any age, is to get
an extra payment, a sort of
bonus, in living.

Memory plays a part.
Those who have good
memories have the best lives,
so the thing to do is to have
good memories.
Perhaps the answer is to
be born with them. One
often sees people who seem
to have no memories of any
thing; they apparently are
born with none, and achieve
none.
That way unhappinesS lies.
Memory is a powerful
force; no wonder books and
plays are written about it,
and men with craggy jaws
give lectures on it.
We are told to think Of
something in order to re-
member something else. The
trouble with this system is
that one always forgets what
the first thing remembered
means.

The story of the day takes

Not only memories play a
part, but activities of all
kinds enter in, and then filter
out, to do us good at last.
A day begins and a day
ends. The calendar says so.
The testimony of ones own
senses proves it.

THE POLITICAL MILL
Will the Public Be Damned?
By GOULD LINCOLN

The stage has been set and
action begun In a struggle
which, under the present
world situation, threatens
the way of life under which
the American people have
achieved so much for so
many. The steel strike for
higher wages-and prospec-
tive Strikes in other major
industries-if continued in
definitely could result in
tremendous unemployment.
suffering and damage TO the
economy. President Eisen-
hover has taken a strong
stand against the spiral of
rising wages and prices and
the consequent increase in
the cost of living. He is doing
his utmost, also, to check in
flation by insisting on econ
omy in Government spend
ing, on a balanced budget
and no deficit spending.
Now it is up to the leaders
of organized labor and in
dustry to do their part Too
often, both have taken a
public be damned" attitude
in the past. 1t looks very
much as though one or the
other or both have again
taken that same position.
The President has repeatedly
in his public statements.
many at press conferences.
urged that the leaders of
both groups take a states
manlike attitude and con-
slider the American people
as well as their own selfish
interests. So far his has been
a persuasive voice, but he has
warned that he does not in
tend to sit idly by and let
the situation get out Of hand.
The law, as we'll as custom,
has recognized the right of
collective bargaining. The
President believes in that
principle. He has shown his
entire willingness to let nego-
tiations proceed-indeed, he
has urged that they do until
an answer can be found. But
a complete work stoppage for
months on end, with millions
unemployed, is unthinkable
if brought about by selfish in
terests.
Two Steps by President
The President has so far
taken two steps other than
urging a strike settlement
through negotiation. He has
placed the Federal Mediation
Service at the disposal of the
warning parties. He has given
the Secretary of Labor the
60 sign for an inquiry into
all facts in the steel dispute
Whether these facts will be
relayed to the public remains
to be seen. But they certainly
will be used by the President
in making up his mind what
future steps he may take to
bring about peace and a re-
sumption of steel production.
The demand for increased
wages by the already highly
paid steel workers is not war;
ranted by increased unit pro-
duction. On the other hand,
steel prices have been raised
to a point where profits are
large and where the prices
and wage scales have been

Idaho Decision

BOISE, Idaho-The Idaho Supreme
Court ruled recently that the state
cannot be required to pay the cost
of relocating utility poles made neces-
sary by highway construction. In
stead, it held that such costs must be
borne by the companies which own
the utility lines.
The high court vote was Al. Mon
tana has similar case before it's Su-
preme Court.
William Padgett, who argued the
case for the Idaho Highway Board.
said the ruling saves nearly one mil
lion dollars for the state in the period
since the law was passed in 1857.
He said it will mean a nine-million-
dollar saving in the 13 years which
are needed to complete construction
of the interstate road system.
A similar case before the Montana
Supreme Court was brought by a
Helena motel owner, V. L. Jones. He
questions the constitutionality of a
1857 Montana law which allows the
state to pay rs per cent of the costs
of relocating utility poles.
In his complaint, Jones says the
Highway Commission has no right to
pay taxpayers money to the utilities.

case had nothing to do with any
assessments except those of the two
pipelines involved. But the board ig-
nored this. Without even waiting for
the Supreme Court to decide the ap-
peal. it rushed ahead with tax relief
to the detriment of the home owner.
