THE GOSPEL OF WORK
Germany Is the one country in the world today that is standing firmly
*n the gospel of work as its salvation from the demoralizing effects of war.
Most of the other nations are more or less on strike*—including our own
United States. As a result of this condition, Germany is today again hold
ing the club and brandishing it ovdr the world. Germany believes in hard
work as a means of victory and is devoting all her energies to labor in the
heps of yet overcoming her enemies by commercial conquest, after failing
to do so by force of arms. While the peoples of her rivals are striking for
•ix hour work-days, Germany is working twenty four hours a day. filled with
the.realization that work will in time give her the necessary power to rule
the world.
And the result will be that she will ultimately do so unless the peoples
of England, Prance. Italy and the United States and other leading countries
come to realize that as long as strikes continue and millions are Idle high'
prices will continue and Industry will remain in its present seini demoralized
The people of Germany have recognized the folly of idleness and have
buckle^ down to work. u&kln^ neither six hour days or eight hour days, with
the result that Germany Is actually better off in an economic sent*e than any
ot her late adversaries. There are comparatively few unemployed persons
In the nation and Industry’ is proceeding at a pace that will soon flood the
world's markets, with German goods unless the other producing nations stop
their jangling and get to work. By reason of the willingness of her people
to work, Germany Vs today the most powerful country in the world outside
of the United States. This country now has the inside track, but another
year or two of quarreling and bickering and strikes and high prices and
Germany working 'hard at home, will ■surely pull to the front.
Work Is the solution, and the only solution, of the present undesirable
situation. Production must be increased If-prices are to go down. Strikes
and their resultant idleness only make the situation worse than it is. No one
will gainsay that people have a right to enjoy the benefits of their labor in
the fullest degree possible, but regardless of who is to blame, whether capital
or labor, it is certain that as long as strikes continue millions will be idle,
agriculture and other basic industries will become less productive and an
inevitable day will come when not even a twenty four hour day will suffice
to prevent hunger joining hands wfilli idleness in producing anarchy and
bankruptcy.
REFOKMERS AFTER THE MOVIES
With the elimination of old John Barleycorn as a leading facto
humor affairs, the moral reformers are finding that time hangs heavily on
their hand*. Consequently they, like the mighty Alexander, are sighing
for new worlds to conquer and a»re coating about for new subjects upon which
to exert their uplifting efforts. Tobacco presents an alluring object to the
reforming gentry but It so happens that popular sympathy is more or less
In opposition to an anti-tobacco campaign Just now, hence many of them
are looking around for something else to Jump onto to fill In the time. Any
thing that gives pleasure Is naturally a good subject to these people anil it
is not surprising that they are now devoting same of theilr_ attention to
movies. Down In Oregon, for instance they are seriously propping to make
It unlawful to display a movie act, scene, or episode which. If actually per.
fonnod vjn real life, would constitute a felony under the Oregon laWs. Tc
display a scene showing a theft, for instance, would, if the reformers have
their way, result in the suppression of the film in which it was shown,
picture of an abduction, murder dr tuny other act which if actually performed,
would amount To a felony under the Oregon code would be equally subject
to disbarment from th» public view.
As fully eighty percent of all of the world’s dramatic stories are
moulded about some infrictlon of law or 'morality it Is plain to be seen that
the passage of an enactment of this character would leave vary little In the
line of miovte drama for the delectation of Oregon movie devotees. About
•11 would be left theta to draw upon in satisfaction of their desires for
hfcMNrfc masterpieces would be a limited line of molly coddle tales in which
no ope does anything naughtier than stay away from prayer meeting
, The point is, however, that it there is an evil influence in the depiction
of a Monioug not in the movies, is them not an equally evil influence In the
tales of novelist* and poet* and the stories presented on the speaking stage?
„ Are not all of -the .great Shakesperian drama’s woven around great crim<
'Is not crime tht motif of the masterly works of all the world’s greatest writers
from Homer 4o Stevenson? What work of fflettn that has attained a place
in the master category of human tale% that does not contain the story of s
crime? If there is an ovll suggestive Influence in their rendition on the
, screen* why not ban theta* ptmentatlon on the speaking stage a* wen
■ ,an (g* .hooks ip which they are told In word pictures? If the Oregon re*

WHY THEY WANT HOOVER
(Now York World)
No Hoover headquarters have been opened anywhere.
No campaign manager has been appointed to round up Hoover delegate-..
No millionaire manufacturer has undertaken to grease the ways for
• he launching of a Hoover candidacy.
Nobody’s checkbook is making speeches for Hoover.
All the sentiment that has expressed itself in his behalf has come
front the voters themselves. It is wholly unorganized, undirected, unaccel
erated; yet we believe that it exceeds in volume, to say nothing of enthusiasm,
the sentiment of all the other candidates combined.
Most of the professional politicians of both parties seem to thing tint
the Hoover demonstration is only a passing phase of the campaign and that
it cannot last long because it has none of the elements of political stability
behind it—by which they mean money and organization. They are mis
taken. The Hoover sentiment is the most serious thing in American politics
today, and it will remain the most serious thing throughout the campaign;
for it represents the Tevolt of the. voter against a partisanship that is strang
ling the government of the United States.
The people who are advocating the election of Mr. Hoover to the
Presidency are not actuated by personal devotion, for most, of them never saw
him. Nor are they influenced altogether by his record a.s one of the greatest
administrators of nil time and one of the clearest thinker* of his generation.
All this they admire, but what especially attracts to them is the fact that
With these eminent qualifications he combines a complete indifference to party
politics .and party politicians.
Every day Congress is giving to them new evidence of the folly and
fr.tudulency of present-day partisanship. Although the actual differences
between Republicans and Democrats so far as any question of principle is
concerned are so obscure that nobody can define them and the Republican
National Committee has been, obliged to offer a prize for a platform, the gov
ernment of the United States is deadlocked by a political conflict which has
never been exceeded for bitterness and malignancy and which is carried on
only for the promotion of party politics. Every day the intesests of the
American people are sacrificed to this insensate warfare.
THE LADIES, GOD BLESS 'EM
(Contribute:'.!)
Now Solomon was a wise old Kin’?,
Ho bad wives by the scory%And maybe
on the side I think. He had a dozen
more. Some cooked, Some darned the
old man’s socks, Some hung the wash
to dry, Some foozled up the old man’s
locks. And fed him up on pie. Hut
with, thjdm all, I have a hunch. He
surely was a winner. They had an
merry time that bunch. He was an
esisy sinner. Hut modern man, in all
this life. By far the biggest bluff. The
law allows Him but one wife. And that
one he tineats rough. From immemor
ial time he’s learned, Some drivel re.
his station. The motto in his nut Is
burned. “Tho lord of all Creation."
He splutters on. the chesty thing.
Throughout the weary nge. And
dances to the little string. His wife
pulls way up stage. For every thought
tho old man wands, A thinker thought
before hllm, And every pair of pants
he wears, His wife hna picked out for
him. He preaches to hts neighbors
oft. That he’s overworked by far. And
wonder why his neighbor scoffed. And
gave him the Ha. Ha.. And yet his
wife from early dawn Till dusk. With
out a squeak. Will do more work
within the morn. Than he does all the
week. This maxim carry nil through
life, Store in your mental vault. You
wouldn’t be worth, without your wffe.
A blessed grain of salt.
