The writer feels very do is far better than keeping him twirling his thumbs, many. s hurt esply that, for w certain breed of dogs, “his day” can’t be too short. " Why such a dog should have any day at all is the real mystery. Take the mangy mongrel cur, vellow in color and in disposition, that yaps all the time, frightening lit- tle children, annoying ail passers by, and at times putting all the relizion of the melghborhood out of commission. May the day speedily come when this type of dog shall have no day whatever! We are to bo congratulated that in this age we hear nothing about the con- flict between religion and science that once divided the world of learning into two_hostile camps. Relizion has lost much of its degmatism and science much of its cocksureness. When religion was ready to investizate the claims of science with ‘a real desire to learn, and when science was ready to admit that the fundamental position of religion were tenable, then the conflict began to dis- appc-r. It must be admitted that the cFurch in the past was unwilling to in- v tgate any theory that tended to demage the traditionalism of the past. This attitude was shown no longer ago than in 1829. In that Wear the city of Warsaw erected a statue monument to Copernicus. A scientific society convened \in the Church of the Holy Cross for & 'service that was to have added solemnity to their commemoration. But they met in vain. Not a minister appeared, not wish- ing to countenance a great Sclentific dis- covery that had once been condemned. Let us thank God that a great change has come since 1829. One can herdly fafl to gotfos a tone of dissatisfaction in all great plat- forms and pulpit addresses in these days, They are not given by men of estab- lished reputation for pessimism, but. by men of vatriotic and generous impulses who believe in, and are working for, what is best and noblest in our Ameri- can life. Early in the year it ¥as con- fidently predicted that there would be by April marked evidence of 2 ~emura of material prosperity. That marked re- turn is not being realized. That we have come to a turn in the road is true, but the upgrade is S0 gentle as mot t Testors MEETING THE ISSUE. As the result of the conditions which ere shown to exist in connection with the showing of motion plctures in New York state, the legislature of that com- n-onvealth has passed a law establishing. a state board for the regulation of mow- ing pictures. Theymeasure Was strongly opposed. Tt met with the opposition of those wio are engaged in that line of business and It was maintained that it ought to be left to the people to deter- mine what %ind of motion pictures they Gesired. Such arguments as were advanceld against the Dill are those that have been put forth each time anything of the kind has been attempted) There were 1l 0se who were ready to promise that the business would reform itselt it it was only permitted the opportunity, that the moving plcture industry could handle the matter and protect the interests of the public by carefully watching its produc- tions and " eliminating those ‘that were considered detrimental. It was of course | a wonderful plea to make but in view, of the experience that has been hed| with such promises it was deemed to bs the wisest course to place the responsi- bilty upon a state commission and nsist tron something being done. The establishment of the commission doesn't plesse the motion picture. peaple any more than the proposed bill did. They o not like the idea of being placed un- der a censorshin, but inasmuch ms the law has been massed there is furnished a chance to test the sincerity of the pic- ture industry when it is claimde that it could regulate itself. Thus even though a commission is established the platr Guty of the pleture industry 15 to.carry out such plans as it may have contem- rt is it We are all familiar with the ‘well- established philosophy which teschés the Sweet uses of adversity, the distipline of Jpoverty and the virtues of ®somomy and thrift, writes George E.

Our chief ‘troubles came throush a want of common understanding of ‘econ- omic Pprinciplés and of the real harmony of interests between all classes.

When we think abqut it we Will real- ize that it 8 not an easy matter for people to get along together harmoni- ously, trusting_one another and om- posiog thelr differences in good fesling. ‘We know from our every day- experlences, disagreements develop in every kindl of an organization, including the churfhes, ‘where people @re supposed to be disin- terested. The fact is that we have a race inheritance .of suspicion, and ‘con- fiflence in one another is a plant of slow growth.- Unfortunately, it gets nipped down to the roots occasionally by & frost Itrom the application of the rules. If ®0 4t | bite, and these setbacks are hard to overcome. "This TunGamental difficulty adout get- ting along together needs to be always kept in mind in deliberating over our soclal troubles. Appreciation of it shows the problem in its true proportions and, at the same ‘time, teaches us to be pa- tient with it. Our modern industrial system is eo highly organized that it is easilv fhrown out of balance. Fach of us is dofng some one ‘thing and exchanging products or services with the others, We are de- pendent upon the others to make Wwhat ‘we want and to take what we make n payment. And it is a great, vbluntary scheme; it is up to each person to finl his own Place in the system and Yollow his own policies. No wonder it s de- ranged occasionally. We have developed this system be- cause it yieMs larger results to every. body than the old system of household iIndustry, where the wopl ‘grown on the farm was spun and made into cloth. and clothes in the family; and everything was either self-made or proviled in the neighborhood by a simple exchange of work that everybody understood. The present population of this country caa- not be supported In the state of com- fort to which it is accustomed without organized industry and the use Of cap- ital. We have given up the primitive inde- pendence for gains that are to be had by becoming specialists with an exchange of services. It is a far more efficipnt system of industry, but it makes us dependent upon_each other and iriter- ested in cach other's efficiency, welfare, anda purchasing power. The success of the system depends upon a general un- derstanding of its co-operative character, It requires greater intellizende in thé citizenship, and not only greater intelli- gence but a higher sense of mutual ob- lizations, in short a higher oivfliza- thon.. : One of the most mt things o understand is that monsy fs a Tmere convenience in accomplishing the ex- change of zoods and services: our real compensation is in the products and ser- vices of others. It must be possible to make these exchanges on a fairly stable a#d regular basis or. the whole system is thrown into confusion. The oceu- pations must be in balance, so that the money income of each will enable it to buy the products of others. The pay of the workers in any occupation an- not be raised or lowered without af- fecting employment and compensation_of the workers in the other occupations. We see.that clearly illustrated in the general paralysis which has followed the loss of purchasing power of the farm population in recent months. Everybody is interested in maintaining that state of equilibrium throughout industry which keeps every- body at work and results in the largest differs from his business assoclates in that he keeps about a mile and a half shead of them. His latest scheme is the distribution of mail by airship. It is to be hoped that he will not drop more than & hundredweight at a ‘time in ome place. But trust Northeliffe to work out detafls. To be consistent we suggest Ahat the day’s doings be printed on fly paper.

No class can gain anything by tiirowing the organization out of balance, but the efforts to promote class interests tie 8o mary knots in the channels of cir- culdtion ‘that the exchanges are stopped. Industry and trade are strangled by the The ‘industrial organjzation much like a great machi i work unléss all the parts are in order | and in proper relations to each other. If your automobile goes back on you. youl know that something is wrong, and you must find what it is and adjust it before you can Nope o go on. It does no good to swedr at it; you camnot foree it; you must fix it. It works only when certain conditions are complied with, and that is Just as true of the industrial organization. Furthermore, this law of ‘the equilib- rium is the final arbiter of the relations between capital and labor. There is a normal, proper. balance between the amount of current production in the form of goods for @irect tomsumption and the amount of in the form of. equipment for producing consumable goods, the latter being capitak There must be a constant accumulation of new capital to provide for industrial progress. Think of all the| new ideas Yor enlarging the output of the industries and improving the living condi- tions of the people that are waiting upon supplies of capital! Look a tthe condi- 'tlon of the rallways and at housing condi. tions today. Unless a proper proportion of current production i converted into capital, the thdustries will not be kept up to the needs of a growing population, the cost of living will inc.ease, ana the pur- chasing power of wages will fall. Wage increases, on the whole, never cai make up for declining efficlency in production, because all the wage increases must be passed on to consumers. On the other hiahd, # too much of cur- rent production is Teserved for capital in- vestments, the productive equipment of the country will get ahead of the consum- ing power of the population, further in- yestments will be unprofitable. and not be made. Competition will be fierce under such a condition and compel a larger dis- tribution for current consumption. Our industrial organization is so highly organized that it is beyond the under- standing of the common man. He doesn’t see the benefits that he derives from it, or understand his obligations under it. The whole complicated system, under which men devote their lives to acquiring skill in a particular occupation and rely upon exchang'ng services with others, is dent upen the maintenance of fair ions. Nor y.any people in England are abic o mine toal, but the industries of the covntry are all dependent upon coal and the miners have shut down the mines and theaten to keep them closed until the community accedes to their terms. So- clety cannot endure under such condi- tions. If people cannot work together in specialized inductry, and rely upon each o"uei, We will have to abandon modern | muustrial metiods anc o back to the h&na irdustries and tne conditions of life in hina. That }s what they are doing in Russia. TUnless the public is willing to pay for the services of the railways at a rate which will allow the capital invested in| them to make a return fairly comparabls | to that obtained in other investments, new capital for their improvement will not be obtainable, and the government will have to take them over. This, however, will be only shifting the problem, for the cost of operating them will be greater under the. government than under private ownership. The government Will have to resort to taxation, and the depletion of capital by taxation’ will interfere with industrial PrOgiess. We face the same problem in the housing situation. Legislation which dis- | courages private investment in houses] makes the situation more acute, and if the government is forced into house build- ing the burden will fall upon the taxpay- er, again with the effect of depleting the supply of capital available for industry, and of discouraging the ambition to ac: cumulate capital. The same eftect follows upon all the offorts to’burden and handicap the ener- getc and successful map. _If he 15 re- stricied mad Georived of the capital for which he struggles and -with which he/ i is very | e ‘which will not | works, he will give up and his leadership wil be lost.

When Aaron Burr saw visions of the. establishing of & great empire in the west, he naturally enlisted as many men of means as possible to help carry out his treacherous scheme. For the most part these men were misled and believed they were entéring into & ¢olonization scheme that had the full sanction of the govern- ment. Burr had deceived them and sadly were they compelled to pay for his per- fidy. One of these men who was deceived was Harman Blennerhasset, an English- man, who came to America in 1787, ahd oon_after his arrival seflled on an island in thé Ohio river about 1% miles below Marietta. With what money he possessed he was able to turn the desolate but pic- turesquely located place into a veritable paradise, and here he and his wife lived, surrounded by all the luxuries that he was able to transport to this out of the way place. 3 When Burr Was layifg his plans for his empire he picked upon Blennerhasset as one to assist him. The Englishman, it would appear from history, was entirely innotent of any wrongdoing when he al- lowed Burr to talk him into assisting him in his venture. Burr made the journey to the Blennerhasset home _unannounced, and when the proprietor found thut he had as a guest a former vice president of the United State she felt compiimented, and the affable manner ‘of Burr not only attracted Blennerhasset and his wife but everyone with whom he came in contact. After invelgling. the Englishman into his scheme, the expeditioh was prepared to descend the Ohio- and take possession of the country. In the meantime Presi- dent Jefferson heard of it and became alarmed. He knew Aaron Burr perfectly and was well aware of his ambition and his powers of intrigue. In November Jefferson sent out a secret agent to report concerning the proceed- ings, and’the Fesult was that the gover- nor of Ohio was ordered to suppress the military expedition by seizing the boats. Mr. Blennerhosset. when he heard of the opposition to the expedition, decided: to relinquish the whole éntérprise, but Mrs. Blennerhasset Was yery ambitious and had entered into the scheme with ail the oomy, steel for FURS hasset and Burf weré arrésted fof tréa: son, but they weére fnally acquittéd. Blennerhass¢t made a home for his wite at Nachez, Miss., where they resided for 10 years, but the second war with Eng- 1and brought poverty to them and. they returned to England. He died in poverty and of a broken heart % 1831, and his wife was supported by the charity of her friends. She finally came to Ameriea, hoping to récelve campensation for the loss of her property destroyed by the American troops, but she died before this result was brought about, and was buried at the expehse of a society of Irish ladies in the ¢ity of New York.

Mr. Blennerhasset, in the minds of the western_assembly, was criminally guilty of assisting Burr and learned with much alarh that a body of militia was to be sent to the island to seize the boats, ar- rest him, and all the men there. Not a moment was to be lost. Thers was no knowing what outrages these lawless men might inflict’ upon & family Whom they denounced as tralotrs.
