The people who are doing most or
the howling are not the poor, but
are' the ones who are no longer mak
ing 100 per cent profit, and are now

The United Mine Workers, in con

A few drinks of New York hootch
caused a visiting Englishman to
burst through a plate glass window
and make love to a - wax dummy.
This leads one to wonder what a
few drinks of middle western "corn"
would make the wax dummy do.
FEAR DEPRESSION
Thomas A. Edison says that the
business depression was caused by
fear. "The people have been fright
ened out of good times, unnecessar
ily so." . ' a
Fear of the wolf makes people
stop buying. Then business stag
nates. Hard times follow.
The pessimist is ruled by fear.
Optimism is nothing but the ab
sence of fear. Get rid 'of our fear, be
optimistic, and prosperity will re
turn, Edison reasons.
He is right. The same is also true
of every activity of men and women.
Fear, the great paralyzer, is back
of most failures. Conquer the devil
of fear, develop confidence in your
abilities, and you will succeed.
Barring remote instances of good
luck, there can be no success with
out self-confidence and fearlessness.
EFFICIENCY OVERDONE
A new arrival among the charac
ters of current fiction is the efficien
cy expert, the case hardened Indi
vidual who knows that the great ob
ject, of life and business is to make
money. His consuming desire is to
eliminate all waste, increase the pro
duction and make possible the great
est possible gain In dollars and
cents. For the human element in
business he has no consideration.
Long service, gray hairs, family re
sponsibilities, breaking hearts, affec
tion, helpfulness and good cheer on
ly excite in him contempt when it
Is a question of saving or making a
few dollars more a year. "Business
is business," he declares, "and you
must not allow kindness, or char
ity, or good will to creep into it."
No; for their are parasites that eat
the heart out of the pile of dollars
that you leave when you die.
Nearly everybody knows the type
by now. Up to the time of the war
at least he was pampered and fed
and flattered till he had come to be
the autocratic ruler of the hearts of
many business men. There is a good
picture of his rule in Basil King's
"The Empty Sack," together with
the train of evils that follow the
dismissal of an aged employe, who,
though faithful and honest, was not
quite "up to scratch" in a machine
like service.
The efficiency expert will probab
ly always be needed, but he has t,oo
often overdone bis work. A man is
more than a machine and better
than a commodity. Gain without hu
man sympathy is tainted. It is at
least as much to make happiness as
to make money.
:o:
DECIDEDLY, REASSURING
The country rubbed and re-rubbed
its eyes upon reading some
weeks ago that Secretary Davis, of
the federal department of labor, es
timated the number of unemployed
on August 1st, 1921, as compared
with the same date:of 1920, as five
million seven hundred and thirty
five thousand. "Dds bodikins! Is it
that. bad?" ran the comment.
The secretary now hastens to ex
plain that he did not mean what the
public thought be meant; that al
tho nearly six million persons may
have vanished from payrolCs, this
did not prove that they were all un
employed, as many might have left
industrial plants to take up other
work; and that throngs of women
who were drawn from home during
the wartime dearth of labor had re
sumed the wonted tenor of their
way. These and like considerations,
says the Secretary takes most of the
terror out of his figures.
There was much scaling down In
the first instance by those who paus
ed to analyze the figures. That an
unusual amout of unemployment ob
tained during the spring and sum
mer months was not to be, denied;
suspended and curtailed industries
spoke all too plainly. But there were
other facts to weigh with that one,
as for instance, that in normal times
there are probably a million persons
unemployed, some transiently so;
and that at the crest of the condi
tions produced by the war, "over
employment," if the term be allow
able, numbered a million or more.
Certain it is a temporary excess of
Jobs over workers attracted to in
dustrial and business centers multi
tudes who normally are engaged in
rural, or semi-rural, and domestic
tasks. '
However, one may calcuate, the
cheering fact is- that such unem
ployment as did exist at the time of
the secretary's survey' has consider
ably diminished and that the under
lying conditions which make for un
employment have materially improv
ed. The problem still is one which
no thoughtful man will take light
ly, but beyond question it has grown
less serious. ,

HOME PROBLEM HERE IS
REALLY A VITAL MATTER
Attention has been focused on the
building problem in Plattsmouth by
the proposal of the Burlington to
bring In twenty to thirty additional
families as soon as assurance is given
that they may find a suitable home
in which to live. No chain is strong
er than its weakest link and like
wise no Sown can be greater than
its weakest advantage.
Among the advantages that a town
can claim are its schools, churches,
municipal improvements,, natural ad
vantages, industries, the character of
its people and last but, not least, its
homes.
Surrounded by broad acres of pro
ductive farming lands, teeming with
Industry in its midst, and affording
school advantages the equal of those
to be gained anywhere, . Plattsmouth
is not deficient in any of the others
named, save in the matter of homes.
AH who come into our midst cannot
at once become home owners and if
we are to receive them at all we
must provide suitable rental prop
erties for them during their early
residence here, that they may later
on, through thrift and labor, acquire
as their own.
Let us wage a campaign of home
building such as was never waged in
the old town before.
