Perhaps We Worry Too Much About
Finding Ways to Make Europe Love Us
From the Kansas City Star
Victor Murdock has been figuring on ways to make the world love
America and believes he has hit on the right one. The trouble has
been America has become too rich, too powerful, too materialistic for
this envious world, and the hatred and distrust felt for it are the natural
feelings of peoples whose genius h»s found expression in other ways.
They can’t understand a people that is content to make things on a
grand scale—buildings and bridges and skyscrapers—merely for utility's
sake, to return a profit in money.
America can remove this misunderstanding, Mr. Murdock thinks, by
turning its civilisation to esthetic account, by going in for creative arts
and showing that Americans are not merely money grubbers. Mr.
Murdock does not say whether this might be expected to make us as
poor sb Europe, and therefore no longer objects of envious hatred, but
he does seem to think it would somehow take off the curse of success.
If more of us would compose muslo, paint pictures, carve staiues and
write novels, this country would be looked upon with a kindlier eye
abroad and what’s mors it would survive longer. Otherwise it’s the
fate of Rome for us.
Mr. Murdock thinks we could do these things, too. He has maae
a calculation (that service of his on the federal trade commission has
made him a little statistical) and finds that of our 110,000,000 people
105,000,000 are qualified to write novels. It’s a terrible thought, and
we hope Mr. Murdock is mistaken—we hc*pe it’s only 105,000. That
many are writing novels now, we believe, and we had hoped that was
our ultimate capacity. If the efforts of 106,000 novelists have not made
Europe love us, wonld those of 105^590,000? It seems doubtful, especially
if we consider the possibility that, after all, it may be these 106.000
novelists who have r. ade Europe hate us. They have had that effect
on some Americans.
Mr. Murdock calls these things spiritual and cultural, but there
again he may be mistaken, We have read quite a few American novels
that did not strike us as b9iug either spiritual or cultural. They had
a deal about love in them but not about love for America. They may
strike Europeans the same way if Europeans should chance to read
them, which we hope tlp-ey don’t
Frankly: we suspect that if Europeans don’t admire the things we
do well, they wouldn’t be likely to admire the things we do ill.
After all, it may not be important whether Europe loves us or not

Who Owe the Ra'lroads7

There la a persistent rumor fre

roads. Nothing could be further
from the truth. There are multi

stockholders have over the roads it
Is alleged that they ova?
In the first ptase, no man, or body

without an eradication by a public
body that "public convenience and

When the road is built it cannot be
sold, mortgaged, or leased without

Chances of a Favorable Eclipse.
‘ “Not one person In a thousund,
the country over, has seen success
fully a total solar eclipse, but that
proportion wifi have to be changed
to one in 10 or 20 if th-e morning of
January 24 is clear. If It is cloudy,
however, we can, as suggested be
fore, contemplate stellar eclipses-phll
osophlcally, or be satisfied with lunar
on partial solar eclipses or wait seven
and one-half years until, in the sum
mer of 1932 (the last day of August),
the tall end of a total eclipse sweepe
down at sunset from the Canadian
Arctic and crossing eastern Canada
and eastern New England, goes Into
tho sea n little outside of Cape Cod.
From the astronomer’s point of vie\4
t'ne eclipse In January will not b«
fevorable. In the first place, the sun
will be too near the southeastern
horizon for most satisfactory ob
serving conditions. In the second
place, the path of totality crosses a
region of uncertain weather. Chances
of a clear sky are far below 50 per
cent. The insurance rates will be
high. Expensive preparations for
observations cannot wisely be un
dertaken. Probably the best chance
for success, according to meteorolo
gical data, is in Connecticut or the
eastern part of Rong Island, or, still
better, in an airplane at a high alti
tude above all possible clouds.
“A third unfavorable aspect of the
coming eclipse is the brevity of
totality—only 117 seconds, for in
stance where the center of the path
crosses the lower Hudson River.”
Nearer to Stability.
From the Boston Transcript.
Mr. Hoover’s general conclusion is
that not only the United States but
the whole world, with the exception of
Russia and China, has made a dfs
- tinct advance during the past year
toward social, economic and political
stability. The evidence of our own
betterment is ample. It is indicated
by Secretary Hoover In the broad
strokes which he uses in painting the
picture of our industrial and com
mercial situation. Point after point
he touches, with here a shrewd ob
servation, there a word of warning, at
another place a fruitful suggestion.
On the statistical side his showing is
well fortified. The meanings which
he reads into the returns of manu
facture, transportation, shipping, for
eign commerce, the accumulation of
American capital, may be challenged
by some, but none can deny the
authority with which he marshals thf
details or the keenness wit!, which he
elucidates their significance. This of
ficial statement, coming from the De
partment of Commerce on the ftrsT
day of the New Year, will be taker
by the country as abundant reason
for facing the coming months in a
spirit of hopefulness, though it war
rants no business man or captain of
industry in going ahead as if every
element of uncertainty had been re
moved and as if an attitude of un
blinking optimism were Justified.
The Race With Death.
From Wroe’s Writings.
The boss had compiled a list with
recommendations for increases in sal
aries and the stenog's name was not
among them. It was natural that she
should be peeved. In revising the list,
one name had to be omitted because
of the death of the employe.
"It's too bad Williams died before he
got his raise, isn't it?" asked the boss
with proper svr.Npathy.
"Yes, indeed,” replied the stenog with
suspicious sweetness, "but I think any
one Is liable to in this office.”

The lopped tree In time may grow

Most naked plants renew both fruit

The sorriest wight may find release

The driest soil suck In some moisten

Times go by turns, and chances by
course,
From foul to fair, from better hap

The sea of Fortune doth not over

She draws her favors to the lowest

Her tides hare equal times to com*

Her loom doth weave the fine and

Thus, with succeeding turns, God

That man may hope to rise, yet fear

A Passion For Mending.
Gilbert T\ Symonds, In Harper’s.
The fact is that to me and others
bo Inclined, this old world has a
pathetic way of falling to pieqes
and of mutely appealing, like the
Greek corpse upon the strand, for
someone to lend a kind hand for
pity’s sake. Manufacturers and ar
tisans who go to work by the hooter
affect to despise us. They think
themselves a robuster race, creators
Indeed, because, forsooth, they
fashion things de novo out of whole
stuff. All wo tinkers ask in our de
*rnse is for some one to toll us how
.ong this world would get on without
those humble attentions by which we
replace into life the things which fall
out in the march. Ycur manufac
turer puts things together passably
enough for a tUrAe of rest, but with
out affection and with no knowledge
of who shall use them. Let the rack
of use once begin, and then who is
it that weeps to mark how screws
work loose, nuts drop off, edges dull,
springs break, seams open, bearings
shriek, and frail parts end?
Some good souls lose their temper
over this side of life, and mention
the devil or the perversity of things.
I am more inclined to think that an
alarm clock, for instance, after hav
ing been hanged into existence in a
factory, has a right to go by fits and
starts, or even to stop altogether
until one of us with a littlo kindli
ness in him makes sympathetic in
quiry what might inwardly be the
matter with the poor thing.
When Is Driver Drunk?
From Philadelphia Ledger.
A ruling by the Connecticut Motor
Vehicle Commission that “any per
son who drinks and then operates a
par must be considered drunken"
may sound drastic and will be cer
tain to provoke controversy, but its
universal adoption as a standard for
the guidance of magistrates would as
surely lend to eliminate one class of
drivers which is a menace to life and
limb on the public highways. When
drunkenness begins and what is an
intoxicant are moot questions upon
which there is no prospect of agree
ment. Hut there ought to be no dif
ference of opinion on the proposition
that the person permitted to operate
a powerful motor on the highways
should be required to keep his facul
ties keen and alert; and there ought
also to be rittle dispute over the fact
that the use of alcqjiol as a beverage’
Is at least a contributing cause of
reckless and Incompetent driving. If
it were possible to enforce the Con
