THE BRIGHTER SIDE
The span of life is too brief for
most of us to experience more than
one great depression. We can only
read of what happened in England
during the Napoleonic wars, as most
of us can only read about what life
in the United States was like after
the civil war. Machinery was in its
infancy when Napoleon was alive,
but the historian nevertheless tells
us that during the peninsular war
labor revolted against machines in
England and broke most of them up.
That earth upon which we live is
unmistakably cooling after the great
conflagration which we call the
world war. Poverty is the greatest
of all camp followers. It has stalk
ed Europe after every great contin
ental war, and it has stalked the
world after the world war. The ef
fect of war is? upsetting. If it is con
ducted upon a large scale, it not only
upsets the international economy; it
also upsets the emotions of men.
Thus, after the world war, we see
all the nations in debt. We also see
all the nations doing precisely what
they should not do to get out of
debt. Instead cf laying down their
arms and permitting trade to flow
freely across national barriers, which
it must do to revive, they arm to the
teeth and starve behind their own
tariffs.
Meanwhile, there is political fer
ment. Bread lines form. Riots oc
cur. It i3 a bad situation, but in
1894 it was worse. The stout-hearted
Cleveland set federal troops over
the railroad yards of Chicago. In
1877, according to Sir Robert Grif
fen, the condition was desperate in
almost every part of the world. The
early eighties were characterized in
the United States by seething poli
tical revolt, Avhich raged throughout
the central west. It culminated in
the silver crusade of 1S96. Like this
depression in the United States, that
one occurred at a time when for sev
eral successive years the rainfall was
deficient. In 1S90 a Texan wrote:
"The bottom has dropped out of ev
erything." So did Daniel Drew write
iu 1S75: "I have lost everything. It
is all swept away."
Except for history, there would
be no basis for believing that any
great depression could end. They
have a habit of presenting a dreary
prospect. The pessimist has always
insisted that the depression in his
time was the end. The dark ages,
which John Mayaarl . Keynes calls
the greatest of all depressions, came
very near being the end for Europe.
They lasted seven hundred years. Our
own depression is by comparison an
infant. It is only three years old.
The dark ages were induced by a
totally different cause. The civiliz
ation that had sprung up in south
ern Europe went down under the heel
of barbarian3 from the north. That
is not what caused our depression.
Mr. Ford says it was caused by finan
ciers and gamblers. Prof. Taussig
says we do not know what caused it.
Mr. Coolidge says wo were riding
too high. Senator Copeland say3 the
investment bankers and stock bro
kers who sold everything from for
eign securities to real estate gold
bonds in a money-mad market loot

ed American prosperity. Mr. Stimson
says we went on an orgy of spend
ing. The philosopher -Spengler says
the machine will in time devour
western civilization.
Granting that there is truth in
all these observations, we are going
to raliy out cf the present muddle.
If v.e did net, there would be no
such world as that upon which we
look today. Man is indomitable.
Often down, he is never out. It is a
pity that history is not a primary
study. It is too bad that only a few
bookworms should know about it. We
should all know what the world was
like from time to time in those dark
chapters when life, seemed without
hope. We should all , know "how
gloom has in every case , at last fled
the scene.
This is what is happening now.
The outlook is brightening. Dark as
the day is, there is a bit of sun in
the sky. Markets are better. Trade
is beginning to stir. Stocks and
bonds are rising. The hog, like the
cow, looks at the moon wistfully, as
if also to jump. It -was useless in
the trough of depression to buoy up
the people with false hopes. The
l'ollyannas are to thought what the
mosquitoes are to sleep. The profes
sional optimist is a nuisance. The
fool who insisted that prosperity v. as
just around the corner, and finally
had to admit that it was the longest
corner he ever saw, languishes in
that silence which is the end of all
charlatans.
Nevertheless, the mood of man is
important. There ha3 been a bet
ter spirit afoot in the world ever
since the conference at Lausanne. It
has been truly said that the war
ended at Lausanne. We have not
heard that in Washington, but we
will. We must not forget that the
battle of New Orleans was fought 15
days after peace was declared.
We are on the upgrade. It will
be r. long, hard pull, but wc will
make it. We always have, and no
doubt we always will. St. Louis
Post-Dispatch.

It's clever of Governor Roosevelt

CALLING FOR "A NEW DEAL"
The Dayton, Ohio, News, has been
engaged in the pastime of polling
voterj as to presidential preference
and it can't believe its eyes. It
doesn't seem possible that a demo
cratic candidate should be so over
whelmingly popular in "republican
Ohio." List an to its story:
"When a factory is polled
and President Hoover i3 found
running neck and neck with
Norman Thomas (the socialist
nominee) while Roosevelt is out
of sight ahead, that, in repub
lican Ohio, just isn't a reason
able state of fact. Only four
years ago Ohio went two to one
for Hoover and the rate in
Montgomery county was not far
from that of the state at large.
Now to see the polls running in
the neighborhood of three to
one against Hoover, it seems be
yond the range of possibility.
"The polls in the factories
would seem to express the ten
dency of the people in that par
ticular direction. Uptown it
might be very different. Yet,
when the 124 votes of the Rei
bold building analyze nearly
three to one the same way, 32
for Hoover to 82 for Roosevelt,
one gets the impression that as
between the major candidates
tbe discrepancy is about every-
" where the rame.
"A canvass of factory or of-
fice building does not reach the
one-third or one-fourth of the
people who have no jobs. If the
people with jobs are two to one
against Mr. Hoover, where may
we suppose the people without
jobs stand?"
And tho Dayton newspaper con
eludes with this note of pure aston
ishrr.ent: "This politica 'situation
as sampled thus far, is so strange
so unprecedented, so unbelievable
that any further light concerning it
cannot fail to be of breathless inter
est."
What is true of Ohio 13 true of
Nebraska. There are report3 of pre
cinct polls that show tho farmers
declaring themselves fcr Roosevelt in
a ration as high as nine to one. Can
vasses of clerks and office workers
in a couple of large Omaha corpor
ations are said to have shown almost
as surprising a result.
The condition seems to be general
Chairman Farley of the democratic
national committee said the other
day there is not a state in the union
he will concede to Hoover. He looks
on even Utah and Vermont as fight
ing ground.
It would be rash to conclude that
thi3 condition will prevail up to elec
tion day. The republican leaders are
shrewd and resourceful, and the
party has amazing recuperative pow
ers. But the instinctive first reac
tion of the people Is clearly for a
new deal." Twelve years of uninter
rupted republican rule have brought
them near the end of their endur
ance. They simply feel it in tneir
bones that four years more of the
same would be more than they could
itand. Possibly, between now and
November, the clever magicians of
the G. O. P. may succeed in fooling
them again. But at the present writ
ing, looking the facts" in the face, it
just doesn't seem possible. World-
Herald.
:o:
Secretary Hurley went all the way
to Ohio to tell the Ohio Republicans
that Mr. Hoover has maintained the
Amrican wage scale. And the very
next day Mr. Hoover cut the Secre
tary's salary.
:o:
And some will wonder how the
Rhode Island farmer who traded a
cow for six weeks of flying lessons
is enjoying his adventures along the
other Milky Way.
:o:
And if Senator BoraTi ever got
elected President, it would be only
a question of time until he became
involved in a quarrel with himself.
