They had to go back to Civil War times and pioneer experiences when they brought up mellow pictures for our envy and delight. Now any adult can recall a period so radically different from this that it seems like another age. The century is young, yet look what has happened since young men and women of this generation were youngsters! It wouldn’t do to attempt a list of the amazing changes, from national prohibition to trans- Atlantic flights; from wireless telephones to the actors’ strike. Memory, the great artist, is overwhelmed with dramatic material. The whirl and flare of modern existence make us gasp. When will history in the making slacken its speed? Why, there are high school youths in Bismarck who can recall when big, juicy watermelons were ten cents apiece! There are debutantes who remember how Walter Wellman was laughed at for proposing to fly over the ocean! graph has served to increase rather than decrease the business of the cable telegraph companies and that competition serves only to add to the volume of traffic in any and every line. One thing not dwelt upon in relation to the two 30-knot passenger ships America is to build is the cost. It will be immense. It probably will be 200 per cent greater than the same size and type craft would cost before the war. Important as the passenger program of the shipping board and its subsidiary, the Emergency Fleet Corporation, appears it is of lesser conse- quence than that of freight. There has been an- nounced the establishment of regular American freight lines to many counties. Together with that service it is intended to develop a land end by which through bills of lading may be issued from any point of concentration in America to any port in the world. In other words the shipping board means to make it as easy for an American manu- facturer to dispatch his goods to the most distant port in the world as it is for him to ship goods from his factory to Chicago or San Francisco or Cleveland or to New York. Not only that but it is intended to have regularity in sailings from the principal ports of the Atlantic, the Gulf and the Pacific in freight service as there usually is in re- gard to passenger service between New York and Liverpool. There never was a more ambitious or a more thorough plan in sea service than the shipping board has outlined for this country. It is begin- ning to take form but it will take several years to bring it to full flower. Trust America when it comes to doing a job in a big way. Judge Crowe told the Chicago jury that race rioting is anarchy. Race rioting may be anarchy, but anarchy is usually class rioting.

The feelings of old folk must be hurt when chil- dren can hark back to conditions in a world so much slower, easier and less exciting than the one wé now inhabit. With Lemke, Townley and others hovering in the offing, it is safe to judge that the stiffening of ye official backbone is now in progress. TRUST AMERICA WHEN IT COMES TO DOING A JOB IN A BIG WAY For the next 18 months the Emergency Fleet Corporation will be building ships. What the cor- poration will do after that has not been deter- mined. It may continue or it may cease as an arm of the government. But for those 18 months its production will be big and when its program is completed it will have placed the United States well in the front, in number of ocean carriers, of all the nations of the earth. Up to late July the corporation had laid the keels of 2108 vessels of a total of 11,576,861 dead- weight tons. Of these 1447 were steel craft with 9,594,711 deadweight tons. By the end of the 18 months the total of keels laid probably will approximate 20,000,000 tons deadweight. The announcement of the plan to build two monster greyhounds of approximately 56,000 tons to ply between Montauk Point and Great Britain and make the transatlantic trip in four days is only suggestive of a larger enterprise of the ship- ping board. It has been a cause of chagrin to many Americans heretofore that in crossing the Atlantic they had to travel in British or German or French liners. With the two monsters that are to be built and the best of the German liners we have taken over this will not be the case here- after. Some persons have had an idea it would be difficult to build passenger craft 1000 feet long and of 50,000 or 60,000 tons registry in this country without constructing special shipways for them. Such is not the case. At Newport News and at Philadelphia there are shipways which, with slight alteration and enlargement, would accommodate the hulls of 1000-foot ships. It may be dificult for most persons to visualize a 1000-foot ship. Such a craft, standing on end, would make the 55-story Woolworth building look much smaller and would tower nearly 375 feet above the gigantic statue of Wm. Penn atop the monster City Hall in Philadelphia. Passenger-traffic across the Atlantic is expect- ed to be increased greatly so soon as affairs be- come composed in Europe and industry is restored to something like its former state. The Emer- gency Fleet people and the ocean transportation people generally do not look for any development in the airship that will affect the steamship in the slightest degree. The airship will be limited in freight carrying to strictly high class mail and small freight. It is not believed that the cargo of all the airships will amount in one year to the ca- pacity of one giant steamship in one trip. As to passengers they will be limited to those who are adventurous or on urgent missions. That, at least, is the present idea. In support of their theory earth some half million years ago. In these ages 1G my TEDDY REAL TENDERFOOT WHEN HE FIRST HIT THE BAD LANDS, SAYS SYLVANE FERRIS, OLD RANCH BOSS St. Paul, Minn., Aug..18—Out in the never was the wisdom of his policy | man passed from chipped to polished stone, built| hits of western North Dakota it was' and his patriotic purpose better un- rude dwellings, domesticated plants and animals, quite the custom to “guy” all new-| derstood than at this, one of the most started art with paintings on cave walls and founded a few basic human institutions. A few hundred centuries later the misty dawn of written records disclose laws, literature, art and philosophy developed to where ‘they stand un- abashed comparison with today. : Mechanical progress was immeasurably slower. Washington worked with tools much like those of Homer. Sickle, flail,:loom, forge ‘andmillstone, changed in details, ‘but were still moved only by the muscles of men or animals. While Washington lived the great. change came. Stored up heat was hitched to toil. From the time when.the first amorphous or- ganism moved in paleozooic ooze until last'centuizy, the cosmic problem was to wrest enough from the inorganic world to supply organic wants. _Man has now won this battle. Limitless power permits limitless complexity and size in tools. Lester F. Ward pictured man’s history reduced to a single circuit of the clock. All but a few min- utes were filled with the unrecorded happenings of prehistoric time. The machine age, with achievements many times greater than all previ- cosmic clock. Within this age man learned to produce more in minutes than the cave man, or even the.man who signed the Declaration of Independence, could have produced in days. Man’s conquest of nature completes one cosmic age and creates a new cosmic problem. The ques- tion of the relation of man to his environment has ended in man’s complete victory. There are pres- ent difficulties due to five years’ orgy of destruc- tiveness through which the world has passed. But the knowledge is here, the tools are here, the en- ergy is available to produce beyond all possible physical needs of the human race. The new cosmic question, is the relation of man to man, the distribution of the fruits of man’s conquest over nature. This question has been postulated less than a half dozen of the seconds on Prof. Ward’s cosmic clock. But it has already challenged the foundations of our civilization. The world is awake to the urgency of the ques- tion. More is written each day on economics and sociology than on all other subjects. We must solve this riddle which the Sphinx of ages gone puts to us or admit our inability to fill our place in the cosmic scheme. In times like these there must be great ob- struction of traffic on that single-track mind. Why extend the Lever act to peace times if it can’t do us any more good than it is now doing in war times? “BIGGEST CHEESE IN THE WORLD,” reads a Chicago headline.—And we thought we had him here all the time. We can’t accomplish much by stopping the exporting of food unless we begin the deporting of food profiteers.

H., July 18.—(By Mail) —For 75 years the United States gov- ernment officially has recognized the strategic position of its great Pearl Harbor naval base the massive dry dock of which will officially be open- ed by Secretary of the Navy Daniels upon his arrival here with the new Pacific fleet late in August. President Tyler in 1842 gave for- mal notice to all European govern- ments the United States never would consent to their occupying Hawaii or establishing on any ofthe islands a naval or military. base through pur- chase or otherwise. The policy was reiterated later by Daniel Webster when he was secre- tary of state, by James C. Blane and by President McKinley.

I Government Ownership and Poli- HOW IT WORKS: tics Not Making Australia Blossom Like a Rose Garden A series of articles in The Times by Alma Whitaker, discoursing upon political, industrial, trade and economic conditions in Australia, have aroused widespread, albeit highly indignant, interest in that far country. Criticisms of the critic are rampant. Whole pages have been devoted to the subject in the Sydney newspapers, with contributions from all shades of opinion, But we observe that most of the rebuttals take the form of mere abuse of the writer, or retaliatory criticism .of Los Angeles in general and The Times in particular, That, of’ course, is not argument, And there the points Mrs. Whitaker made. Fred Davidson, writing in the forceful Smith’s Weekly of Sydney, takes the “18 points under the microscope” and devotes four columns to justifying her points, paragraph by para- pgra|h, To quote his first lines: “A Sydney journal reprints one of Alma Whitaker's articles and heads it ‘Attack on Australia—Misleading Americans.’ Now that article does not ‘| attack,’ neither does it ‘mislead.’ It just states what the lady has seen— and she has seen it all. The fact is we Australians don’t like the way some of our doings read in cold print—and we do like taffy. Alma did not give us any taffy.” There is a large young continent in which labor-unionism is practically su- preme. Very well, then, what has it achieved? We want to know. Is Aus- tralia the workingman’s paradise? Do immigrants flock to her shores? Is she a model of progress and prosperity? Does the proletariat enjoy greater advantages where labor-unionism is in the saddle? Are there no poor in Australia? Is the cost of living cheaper? Is life more graceful and the standard of living better for the multitude? And the answer to all of these questicns is emphatically in the negative. Australia has gone in strong for public ownership, Private enterprise has been consistently discouraged. One-tenth of the population-is employed by the government. And the result? Her railways, street cars, telephones, ete, are probably the worst extant as to equipment and service. The states all have different gauge railroads; travel is complicated, slow and ex- pensive, The street cars are old-fashioned, ill kept, fares higher than in the United States. The telephones are those of the original model, about 20 years out of date. Moreover, Australia has vast territory that has never been opened up at all, some of it not even explored. With an area larger than the United States it has achieved an inclusive population of but five and a half millions, The United States has gained a population of 110,000,000 in the same period, and private enterprise has developed the entire country with railways and taken care of the lot. And what about her home industries? They are so meager that she im- ports almost every kind of manufactured article. Why? Because private capital has been overtaxed, harried and discouraged because strikes, in spite of the compul arbitration court, are an almost daily enter- tainment and because taxation effectually does the rest. Such industries as these are mostly subsidized by the government and submit entirely to government control, And, even so, the tin-plate industry, the wool-top industry and ship-building closed down in despair last spring. The ship- building industry had given great promise, Yet in March the go-slow policy was introduced with such fatal results by labor unionism that a temporary debacle ensued. Yet of all countries in the world Asutralia is \ most dependent on shipping for her life. Australia’s policy is “let the government do it.” The government can put over any hare-brained experiment on borrowed capital and one after the other they have failed ignomintously, Australia’s public debt is nearly thrice that of the United States—in spite of our enormous war debts. Australian paper money is almost valucless outside of that country. Moreover, the cost of living and rents are just as dizzy as in the United Natural since most commodities are imported. Yet wages in med “workingman’s paradise” are considerably below those of the Am ingman, Twenty or twenty-fivd dollars a week is high pay there, the average being about $19.50 for all trades, Even a benevo- lent government, with unlimited borrowing powerg and consequent taxing pow can’t work miracles, Hence the government always has strikes on hands, is always being abused, the pathetic victim of great expecta- tions and meager results.—Los Angeles Times. —) naam Onenemeemneneeee ee | are several, presumably traveled, writers in Australia to indorse most of |+«
