Today Rabelais Sheep. ^ A Real Radiogram. To Hang for an Idea. Deer Living, Wolves Dead. ^By ARTHUR BRISBANEy Wall street gentlemen should read again the interesting sea voyage described by Rabelais, and the story of the sheep merchant, on board. One sheep being thrown overboard, all the other sheep jumped after it, and the sheep man was ruined. That's what happens, where our brightest financial minds, with deep intelligence eco nomic, weigh causes and effects and then jump overboard. They got a lesson from Judge Gary’s little dividend tilt, on Wednesday. And they got another lesson yes terday “It does not pay to sell the United States short.” That was well said. If you are a radio enthusiast, and understand such things, you Will be interested in yesterday’s announcement. A message, re ceiving its only impulse on this side of the ocean, ma<ip the trip of 9,000 miles to Warsaw and back 20 times, a total distance of 360,000 miles. That is almost twice as far as light and electricity travel in one second. It amazes us now, we see it, and work it, and know nothing about it. Some day we’ll send messages to outside auns, ending with “please answer” knav^ng that at 186,000 miles a second the answer will not be back in tim* for our grandchildren to read it. _ ) Eugene V. Debs *ays prison m didn’t frighten him. Right now he would “hang for an idea." That’s noble, once in awhile, al though you must first be sure that your idea is sound. For one man hanged for a good idea, 10,000 have been hanged for ideas thoroughly bad. If you have a sound idea, don’t hang for it, publish it, repeat it, persuade others to accept it. Vol taire opposed torture of witnesses, breaking every miserable judge in one famous case, after a fight of many years, he defied Frederick th# Great, greater powers, and finally died peacefully in his bed naarly 85 years old, rich in money, adored by the people that drew his carriage through the streets. He showed the right way to deal with an idea. That was better than poor John Brown of Harpers Ferry, never living to see any ’ tfcing accomplished. It takes one kind of ability to “fcang” for an idea, and it takes a high kind to convert or hang those that oppose the idea when It is right. A five-ton truck, stuck in Long Island mud, loaded with cauli flower, is attacked by deer, while tjio driver goes for help and tije cauliflower eaten. In that Nm« place, 200 or 300 years ago, wolves would have soon appeared to eat the deer within a few miles of the world’s biggest city. Vhy are there no wolves, but plenty of deer? Because deer help ^ and warn each other. As 50 deer graze or browse, each deer has 100 eye* watching, 100 ears listening to protect him. The wolves be trayed and fought each other, and they vanished. Read Kropotkin’s “Mutual ^id, a® a Factor in Evo lution,” arid learn that the sur vival of the loyal and true is as definite as the survival of the fit test. Inasmuch as ye have done It unto one of the least of these, my brethren, ye have done it unto Me. Thus Christ spake through His servant, Matthew. Julius Rosen wald, although he Is not a Chris tian, t^kes the hint and gives $100,000 to feed Germany's starv ing children. What 100 per cent Christian will follow that example? Young J. Warner Bellah of Co lumbia won the Knopp prize, with a book written in 19 hours. The world admires the ease with which he writes. If Boileau were alive he would tell Mr. Bellah that he wrote to Racine, then about Bel lah’s age: “You tell me that you write with great ease. I hope to teach you to write with great dif ficulty.” After he began writing with dif ficulty, Racine amounted to some thing. Beware of deadly facility. Nothing worth while was ever done easily. If you find it easy, make it hard by doing it better and doing it over. Another lady, she is from 1111 nois, will raise a few spirits, just to prove that she can do it, and get a reward of $2,600 offered in New York for genuine spirit rais ing. The last lady that tried got the spirits to write for her nicely, just by putting pretty flowers be tween the blank cards. Only, it turned out, that other cards had been substituted for the blank cards. The Illinois lady, Mrs. Thompson, will "make spirits clad in snow white garments, come out of a cabinet.” The amusing feature of the per formance is the spectacle that so called scientists make of them selves investigating these alleged phenomena. It simply means en- j couraging folly and weakness. Also, that the scientists are by no means sure of themselves. They would not investigate any scheme i for creating perpetual motion.
