Tuesday, May 24,1932 Whither Have We Drifted? ■ • - When we sum up world conditions today, we, to some extent have ground to doubt the solidarity of our civilization. It seems to be built entirely on a basis of selfishness. Nobody seems willing to share equally with his neighbor. No' country is quite will ing to stand firmly for the good of all, but rather seems to want special favors. Within ten days the rulers of two powerful na tions—France and Japan—have been murdered. The Lindbergh baby has only recently been stolen and mur dered. The deed was followed by a million liars and thousands of robbers who either sought notoriety or money in a tragedy which should nalturally have wounded the heart of every person. It all goes to show that our whole social and politi cal system has drifted from its foundation of truth, honesty, peace, and love—upon which it was intended that it should operate —and we have drifted until we are now resting oVer a crater burning with selfiish ness, jealousies, and hatred, which produces kidnap ping, suicide, murder, arson, rape, moonshining, boot legging, extortion, infidelity, falsehoods, and every other crime known in history. We need to shift from the course we have been drifting along for several years and set sail in a dif ferent direction. We should, and must, school our selves to the fact that work—and hard work—is the only 'thing that will produce lasting prosperity Jnd peace. Our whole trend has been to let the machine do the s*>b —a policy which has left the individual with out a job and in debt for the machine. A Doubtful Benefit We are not so sure that any community is doing the best thing for its own interest by spending thous ands in cash and much valuable time in play contests. It gives idle hands and idle tongues much exercise, of course, but when it comes to net benefits, is there really and truly anything gained? The town or county that goes into league baseball will spend more for pleasure that does not help any body than it spends to help the poor and needy.. And too much animosity sometimes arises between individuals and communities through such contests. It furnishes opportunities for the gambler, too. ♦ " » f»r i __ ODD-BUT TRUE ruiuiHie ivnv Confidence Already Lost Secretary Mills, the big bankers' fiscal agent, says people will lose confidence if the currency is infwfed. The honorable secretary seems to have overloojEgi the fact that the people have already lost confidence, and not only that, but they have lost their all because Mr. Mills and his New York banker friends have deflaed the money of the country. Mr. Mills and his gang, consisting of a very few folks in number, want their dollars each to be worth many days of labor and many bushels of wheat and corn. When they can do that, tliey know \hey have power and they have confidence—kingly confi dence —in their cash. On the other hand, men and women and children are starving because their labor a ■ 4* M and their products are worth so little. Mr. Mills should know that the people have lost confidence in the folks who are handling the money system. What we need is a Congress, a President, and a Cabinet that is bigger than the frew York bank ing system. A Resolution That Should Pass Congressman Lindsay C. Warren hit on the right cylinder when he introduced a resolution requiring that the books showing all payments to members of Congress and their clerks, as well as their other ex penses, shall be open to public inspection at all times. It should pass. Notflfcig hurts more or causes people to lose con fidence quicker than secrecy in handling government al affairs. The people are entitled to know these things. Passage of the resolution will save money because there has been much spent already that was illegal, and those who received it were ashamed to let the public know about it. Give Us Half of What Is Promised If the office seekers do half what they are promis ing, we are going to have the best government the world has ever known. Some of them are even going so far that they are going to give the wets liquor while keeping the country dry for the prohibitionists. Some of them are going to take all the taxes off and pay the grocery bills of everybody with less than $12,000. Now, voters, remember that one of the weakest things about pre-election promises is that they are not, or at least they have not been heretofore, bind ing contracts. So you had better have the candidates give you their promises in writing, and signed by two or more witnesses. You will need this testimony all along through the coming years because the lines are going to be pulled tighter than ever in both our state and national legislative bodies. They are going to be besieged by regiments of lobbyists to swing them from the promises they are now making to the people to special service of the fellows they are now de nouncing. Keep the record list. They forget. Missing—One Disarmament Congress What has become of that disarmament conference? The profiteers in war equipment and materials seem to have shot it, gassed it, and bombed it to death. Up to now, they have come out a long way ah—d of the prayers of the millions who want wars to cetae. The war of disarmament is being waged one side by mothers who are nurturing the boys who will have to suffer, bleed, and die, if and when we have war—and by all mankind that loves humanity. On the other side may be found the envious, the greedy, the proud, the profiteers, who want to satisfy their greed by profits from war munitions and equip ment. The latter is what may well be called the devil's side, because he wants cruelty and hate to dominate man, and that is what war is.

Tf Is wholly his side of the story—the type of story that would appeal to the licentious— the type of Story that would "iefl the best. The author made no mention of the best side of dancing—and there is a good side, for no one 'in the wild est flights of fancy could say that every one who danced was immoral or inclined to be that way. Dancing is by no means an inven tion of the Christian era; it antedates even the fartherest recorded document. From the best that can 5e learned of dancing, it was one of the first forms of expression. It was used quite ex tensively in Biblical times, and en joyed much popularity. I think it very unworthy of the lady of Jamesville to ""blame the modern dress f6r a rfhare in immorality of the dance. Perhaps the male dan be crit icized, too, for a share in this, since he wear his clothes fastened so light ly around his adslm's apple that a bit of fresh air can not enter, and for the length of both the male and female dress even Saint Mary could make tfo objections. I think most every male will agree with me in saying that low back-dresses do not quicken their pulses. Of course, there are a few women who frequent dances who are shady in reputation, but then the women of good character who go for pure, wholesome enjoyment far outnumber the former. One might as well ban all bathing suits and public beaches as to say they are not as great a menace as the dance hall. As for the drinking and cursing that goes on at the dance, one might as well resign oneself to it, for the bridge table will produce just as much. The wo man who cur Acs at a dance hall will curse in the p/ivscy of her room, and who driafct at the dance hall will drink anywMslritfic. Loose morals, my dear lady of Jamesville, can not he laid to the danc ing of men and women, nor can it be cored by Loose morals are inct that men are men and"Wssbm esa women, and all the matfii# Is world is not done under cover 6f fee sanctity of marriage .'a • •' ♦ '• Dfthkittff ■mmmmtt a sin against GolH*4Nft*V toe much chicken on 3urtday.' w THi |*aseL of the world will drink whisky aotil they are educated to the is against their heaMi' and' not tfceir religion.
