Probably there is some justification in such a belief, but not near so much as we try and do believe. Ed Howe, the Kansas man, presents another side of the picture, one that, in all fairness to everyone, should be given thought before vigorously protesting the good along with the bad. If one has measured up to his own possibilities and then failed, some reason for com plaint is certainly justified. Mr. Howe says: "There is no Sure Thing, but the surest is a good job well attended to, for steady promotion is almost certain; and no one can help you in holding a good job except Old Man You. Some say an active com mercial club, an up-and-coming community, a good pastor, a reform administration at Washington, are necessary; others say a man is made by his wife or mother, but Old Man You really does it, or doesn't do it; many teach what is called good sense, but only you can acquire it.” Too Much Machinery Mr. Raymond Moley, who seems generally to be a very sound and truthful thinker has, for once, ap parently fallen in error. He claims that the new steel mills, which are to be opened this fall with a capacity to turn out a million tons of sheet steel annually will not lessen a general demand for labor. His line of argument to prove his statement seems to be based on a very shaky foundation of fact. First off, Mr. Moley knows that a machine which does not save labor will never succeed, and that no body will have a machine that will not save labor. He should also know that when the machine does all the work, that the only labor needed will be just enough to make machines do away with labor. He further knows that when all the available labor and all the available machines in the United States are put to work at normal capacity that in six months every warehouse in the United States will be bulg ing with a surplus of poods that can find no market, and a general closedown will follow, necessarily bring ing about a great upheaval. Mr. Moley knows, too, or should know, that the owner of the type of steel mill that can turn out 100, 000,000 tons of >htet steel annually will shut the door of the present mills. 'Vet he says the machine is not guilty. Those countries without the great machines, such as Palestine and \ssyria, are in better financial shape today than the mechanized nations. It will be found that the countries which have their work done in the old-fashioned way have labor for their [icople to per form, while their more up-to-date neighbors have half of their factories idle and much of their labor hungry. Living by the Golden Rule Clarence Hurorw, the noted Chicago lawyer, and a Mr. |. T. W hite, of Xorlina, both claim that there is no hereafter; that such an idea is silly, and to be lieve such a thing shows the ignorance of those who hold that belief. Mr. White goes on to say that if everyone would live by the Golden Rule and forget all this stuff about religion that has been taught by some of our great leaders for a hundred years, we would get somewhere. Now, just how can Mr. White say we would get somewhere when he also says there is nowhere to go? And why should he rely on the Golden Rule without telling us who gave us the Golden Rule? l'he Golden Rule was not given us by man, but by the Great Power that both Harrow and While try in their own feeble way to discount. It is indeed for tunate that their disbelief is not thought much of by the many millions who know quite as much about the subject as they do. One thing that all people will have to say about Air. Harrow and Mr. White is that each of them probably knows just as much about God and His plans and of the Resurrection as did the buffaloes on the western plains or the jackasses of the old world, but no more. The man who believes in God and serves Him will have nothing to regret. On the other hand, if Air. Harrow and Air. White are right, they have gained nothing but may have lost much. Politics Warming Up Politics is getting to be real breezy these days, and the politicians are showing unusual kindness to all classes, mostly to those who can cast a vote Not only are the candidates greatly interested, but they are' spreading their appeals among the people in all directions, and some have actually been calling names. We have never seen politicians so scared in any campaign before. Some of them are so frightened that they are actually white in the gills. The voters don't seem to be greatly disturbed, for they expect about the same amount of trouble and pleasure regardless of who is elected. It is really a joy to an old horny-handed son of toil who doesn’t get many chances to speak to the big boys, to have these fellows come around and pat them. It gets the candidate thousands of votes, too, because the laboring man likes sympathy and will openly vote for the politician who deals out taffy and sweet promises even if he doesn't believe what they say or promise.
