T oday Another Firm Stops. A Denial Is Denied. The State of the Union. Thunder and Atheism. ^ By ARTHUR BRISBANE j There was a crowd in front of No’. 170 Broadway in lower New York City Wednesday. Metal doors were locked, a detective was saying “Move tth.” “I don’t know what it is, I guess they’re counting money,” said one small boy. Men were busy inside steel wire cages inside the locked doors. They were counting money, perhaps, also counting the lack of it. It was : the counting room of Zimmerman & Forshay, a Wall street house, in , trouble. In honor of the occasion Wall ( street got frightened, prices went • down, yet there was nothing in this second of two recent failures to j frighten sensible investors. It will be found that foreign ex- ] change, the sudden terrific drop in the value of European money— ' especially that of Germany—is largely responsible for these fail ures. A man that took out life insur ance for $5,000 in Germany on the Tontine plan years ago men tioned {he fact that his policy had matured, and he got in American cash, something less than 20 cents. With money dropping like that, something is bound to happen. It is happening and will continue happening if Europe doesn’t make up its mind to stop fighting, steal ing, invading. Don’t gamble and if you have anything to invest, remember that the United States is a good coun try for investments. Henry Ford denies that he ever denied that he will run for presi dent. That's how that stands to date. Ford has made the world's gigantic success by producing one thing, finding that he could do it well and refusing to change his model. There will be a great change in his career and in his story if he makes up his mind to try for the presidency. That Job forces new responsibili ties, now decisions and new “models” on the man that holds it. President Harding, who will run for the presidency and, according to the present and unimportant opinion of this writer, will be re elected, is on his way, telling the people what he has done; “report ing directly to the people on the state of the Union." He will be able to report to the public that “the Union” is doing extremely well. Its dollar is worth 100 cents. Its people are busy and getting big wages. Farmers are not getting what they ought to, but a little common sense would give it to them. “The Union,” thanks be to heaven, is free from European control, by leagues or world courts or any other foreign influence. And if we know enough to let well enough alone, “the state of the Union” need not bother us for many a day to come. The International communist announcement at Moscow includes this: “Our program is based on scien tific materialism, which includes unconditionally, the necessity of propagating atheism.” Let a thousand profound com munists sit discussing “the propa gation of atheism” and proving to each other that there is no God. Then let a bad thunderstorm come up with lightning roaring, and let one flash hit a corner of the building. How many atheists do you think would be left among the 1,000 communists? How many of them would be saying with Napoleon, as he looked at the stars from the deck of the ship carrying him to St. Helena, "Say what you please, somebody made all that.” You would find a majority of your 1,000 Russian communists, as they listened to the crashing atjd banging, saying, "Somebody made ill that.” Atheism is child’s theory; teach ing it is idiocy. Voltaire expr: 'sed the wisdom of time: “If there had been no God, it would have been necessary to in vent one.” Men have invented all kinds of gods, and invented much brutality n the process. Progress Is marked by the character of the particular gods that represent the particular ppriod. Our chief trouble now is that our idea of God is a good deal higher than anything we are fit for. We have millions of sanctimoni ous individuals on Sundays, wor shiping one that gave His life for ithers, and on week days squeez ing thp life blood out of as many if “the others” ns possible. Two men that stole $rt,000,000 ’rom thousands of customers that trusted them are sent to jan for 15 months. That punishment of bucket shop keepers seems to mingle gentleness with justice. One of the thieves is said to have a wife in Paris with a million and u lalf of stolen money, waiting for nim to comp over and share it. With good conduct allowances, he may be on the boulevards In 10 months. Thousands of his customers will he in poverty for the rest of their lives. Motto: If you want to steal in the United Slates be a wholesaler. This is no place for a retail thief. (Copyright IM> 4 Arrested in Big L. A.
