Editors have from time to time in tne past accused certain great manufacturing and mining and transportation companies of being badly managed. We have shown that in making coke the best of the coal goes off in the fumes; that “mining companies leave more coal in the ground, to be forever wasted, than in some cases is taken out; that the lumber companies are efficient in enforcing high prices, but waste the trees; that the raflways often have not been operated with the idea of saving at all, but with an eye to the stock market. Of course, for a mere editor to write in this vein shows nerve; for the manager of these big businesses are of a superior mould and to criticise them is to suggest im- provement in such perfect things as the rainbow and the rose. *“Don’t you suppose,” they have crushingly asked, “that we know our business? Wherever there is waste it comes from the wastefulness of the laborers who are cor- "rupted by the unions.” The fact is, however, that their critics are and have been right. Herbert Hoover, sting for the American Engineering Council, appointed more than a year ago a com- ttee of experts to investigate waste in industry. This committee has reported. It that more than 30 per cent of the waste in industry is caused by the inefficiency employers. Less than 25 per cent can be blamed to labor. This is something as- ig. Nobody ever thought it was as bad as that. In the shoe industry, the waste is 60 per cent. In the ready-made clothing trade, 40 cent. There are brains back of this report, and facts, for the investigation was made experts, and nine industries and more than 200 plants were investigated. ‘We cannot compete with the world if we waste like this. The demand for a pro- tive tariff under such conditions becomes merely a demand for the privilege of protected in wastefulness. If our foreign trade methods were investigated, it would be found, as anyone who looked into the question in foreign lands knows, that our exporters, in the main, rly refuse to modify their methods to suit the trade. They will not pack the goods required, nor make the styles nor sizes demanded. The Germans, the British and Japanese will. They command foreign markets by reason of American uppishness, dity. and wastefulness. The established facts are on the side of the critics. years producing red, white and bine corn undoubtedly has accom- plished something, but after as much thoughtful consideration as we can afford to devote to a para- graph we are unable to determine what ‘will not bring any new security to The government's decision to seit the nations.

Klein's reply, I once beard @ story of a fence which was painted white on one side and black on the other, On a certain occasion, when you ask him which he prefers, & eweet apple or a sour one, would be very apt to say, “I prefer an or- ange,” or, perhaps, “a peach"—that ts to say, & person who is ever ready to @iffer with you on all occasions Said Gemini No, 1: “I wonder why they painted this fence black? Saye Gemini No. 8: “The fence ts not black; it ig white.” And #0, like the two kings whe quarreled over a blue pig with @ black tall, they became bitter ene mies because each had failed to look at both sides of the fence. However, I must confeas that my sympathies are with Mr. Elwood. I do not know whether the Rev. Dr. Klein intends to be humorous In his remarks or not, but he bas almost succeeded. He tells us that “this old world, from God's viewpoint, is « *piritual and moral garbage can, and while there are some good things in it (the Rev. Klein and his brother no doubt), “He has no fel- lownhip with it,” ete, According to Genesis, chapter 1, God made this world in‘«ix coamic periods called “days,” and at the end of each creative period he declared that ALL He had made was very good; but Dr. Klein quotes scripture to show that the world ix very bad, and that God ts very much disgusted with the work of His own hands; and even ag He turned Job over to Satan to nee what he could do with him, so He has turned the world over to the church to be disciplined, And by this same token we observe that most of its troubles are self. made, Says Allan Upwafd: “They” (the theologians) “look around them and deem what they see to be evil, and they begin to find excuses for God. Yet all the time they are not agreed among themselves as to what in evil, One says that pain ts an evil, another that pleasure is an evil; one telly us that labor Is the prima) curse, another that idleness is a yet greater curse, One or another thinks that marriage, or celibacy, or making money, or that losing money, or that drinking wine, or eating meat, or knowledge, or ignorance, or not go- ing to church, or going to the rival church, is evil, And #0 they set to work to excuse God for not being more like themselves, “Each of them ts doing much what the Aragonese inquisitors were do- ing, making 4 stalking-horse of God.

WILLIAM KE. BARTON HE annual vaca- tion has come to be a marked fea- ture of modern life “Are you ing away th summer?” is question which is asked of every one, except of those who are known to be go — ing away. Perhaps statistics would show that a minority of the people in the United States really go away for va- cation. Perhaps if we were to take a census in the summer months when we are accustomell to hear that “everybody's out of town” we should learn that the town has in it nearly as many people as usual, Perhaps we should find that only a few, relatively, of the whole popu- lation, are actually at the seashore or in the mountaina. Perhaps it would surprise us and maybe do us food to learn how many people keep steadily on the job while others go away. Neverthelem, the summer outing ts with ux and tt has the grip upon an inoreasing number of people They splash m1 the water, they motor along courmtry roads, and they do a variety of things somewhat dif- ferent from what they are accus tomed to do, and they try hard to go VACATIONS have a good time, | Some of them succeed in having | & good time. Others merely try hard. ‘ Vacations do not do us all the good they should. Many people need to rest up afterward to get over the ef- fects of thetr vacation. It will do little good, probably, to advise them. If they think they are resting when they burn large quan- titles of gasoline and burn up the public highway, the good they obtain is largely in proportion to what they think they are getting. But a summer outing might be made more profitable than it is to some people. It might be the time for the read- ing of a really good book; the time for some genuinely body-building recreation; the time for the storing away of vital energy for months to come.
