WHY NOT MAKE WORLD BRIGHT t
Thit la a good world wa liva In, Everything nteded
or man'g want, Ma comfort, hi luxury, ia brought
forth In auch profusion that almoat aa much goea to
watta aa la used. In lha United Ktate, when arm,
mill, mine and actorlra ara going full tilt, tha ne
tion produce wraith farter than it can ba counted.
In tha fare of auch facta, why la thcra Buffering
and mliery in tha world T Why ia there dlacontent,
and labor at rife, and tha atruggla of man against
man for maatery over an Inalgniflcant part of tha
whole, when through agreement each may have a
greater ahara without fighting than either expecta to
get even with complete victory?
Who ran anawer these queationi? Teachera and
philosopher have wrought with humanity for count
, let centurlea, atrlvlng to Implant one great truth In
tha mind of all, yet few have embraced ita meaning.
In t world where there la enough for all and to apare,
where each man'a ahara may ba mora than ha pol
bly can ronauma, why ahouJJ there ba the everlaating
effort to overreach and get hold of another' por
tion? Tha anawer to thl laat rjueitlon ia Self. Only
when Self ia forgotten, and Service ia aiaumed, will
tha anawer to tha greater que tion ba given.
That la tha truth tha rcnturlea have labored to
make plain to man. "Bear ya ona another' bur
den," a almpla mandate, and entailing no aipecial
hardihip or aacrlflce, given by the Nazarana to Hia
ditriplea and follower, i tha keynote. ,
In looking around for a aubatitute for war men
have coma to tha concluilon that phytic! force mut
be aupplanted by reasonable aettlement; that juatic
can not ba aitabliahed by killing ona another, but
through a proceaa where the facta ara examined and
fight ia diccovered and applied. Such a proceaa may
ba applied aa well to labor dispute, for thete have
all tha elementa of war, ava potiibly tha coit of
human lifa.
Neither of tha great itrikea that have diiturbed
the nation for ao many week would have occurred
had tha conteilanta com together with a determina
tion to find point on which to agree, rather than
came for dfagreement. Neither would hava been
vailed upon to yield anything of honor or dignity, or
of material value, while tha alight conce!on of ona
to the other would have laved a great deal of trouble.
Covetounei, greed and lelfiahnei mutt ba over
thrown If this world I to ba made tha plcaiant place
it well may be. And thl doe not entail the turren
dor of laudable ambition, nor require tha cemation
of that laudable unreit that bringa real progreei. It
necltate only tha abandonment of "man'a inhu
manity to man." Kach of u can help ome in bring
ing thl about. Why not mako the world bright?
A CHILD'S TWO-FOOT SHELF,
Certain celebrated venc dwell on the poet' joy
at firit reading Homer, It I to ba doubted if hi
plcaure was half ao keen a that of the boy adven
turing for the first time amid the page of the
"Jungle Book." Looking backward almost everyone
can recall with a thrill hi Introduction to tome book or
other and algh with the wish that he might again be
turning ita pagea for the first reading. That ao ew
return to tha classics of their youth may be paMy
due to the fear of discovering that there waa not
muoh, after all, to these works.
Such misgiving may now be diamissed In view of
the selection by librarian and educator of the twen
ty-ilve beat booka for children, Tha itandard waa
taken a the needof a country school library, "Lit
tle Women," by Louisa M. Alcott, lead the list;
"Alice In Wonderland" ia econd, with "Robinson
Crusoe," "Tom Sawyer" and "Tfeaure Wand" fol
lowing In order. The list i thu completed; "Aeop'a
Fable," Pyle'a "Merry Adventurea of Robin Hood,"
Lamb'a "Tale From Shakespeare," Malory'a "Boy
King Arthur," Van Loon' "Story of Mankind," Wig
gln't ""Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm," Burton E.
Steveneon'a "Home Book of Vere for Young Folks,"
Dickens "Chrlatmaa Carol," Irving' "Rip Van Win
kle," "Mother Goose," Dodge'a "Hana Brinker,"
Hawthorne'a "Wonder Book," "Arabian Night,"
Kipling's "Jungle Book," Andersen's "Fairy Tales,"
NU-olay'a "Boy' Life of Abraham Lincoln," Hage
ilorn' "Boy' Life of Theodora Roosevelt," Seton'a
"Wild Animala I Hava Known," and Stevenson'a
"Child'a Garden of Verses.
A few newcomers are to be noticed on thl list,
iter I their presence t be regretted. Good books
ara ttlll being written and it would ba unwlaa to con
fnt recognition to nothing but the old. Thoughtful
parent who v.ih J guide their children' reading
In a helpful way will find the foundation ef a juvenile
library here. It la hanty too much to say that after
a boy or girl ha read these hi fast will be so well
developed that be will thereafter be elite, to pick and
choose hi en literary diet without making any great
mistake.
WHERE 8TRIKES HIT HARDEST.
The president of a great insurance company,
hose funda ara largely, Invested in railroad aecuri
tie, i reported to hava had a private conference
with President Harding. Tha eignlAranre of thia
fact la impressive, It drive home the real meaning
of tha loa that ia Inevitable, and accurately point
out on whom that loaa will finally fall.
Wa deplore tha cost of war, tha enormous ex
penditures that ara Incident to military operationi,
and with good reason. But tha coal strike alone has
already cost mora than tha War of 1112, and tha
Mexican War combined, and tha tale It not ended.
Thia If In loaa of wagea and production, What tha
shop hands' strike has coat ran not yet be accurately
told, but It wlU tlx up well alongside the estimated
expanse of the coal strike, which now haa reached
almost 1325,000,000.
By far tha greater loss fa not shown In these fig
urea, for they do not take into account the damage
don to general businesa. Steel mill ara doting
down or running on short time, big factories are
restricted In output, If not entirely stopped, com
munitiea ara deprived of service because plant can
not b operated, and In all direction tha effect of
enforced fuel shortage ia felt.
Thia naturally touchea on general business, crest
Ing a depression not only apparent but real, and
directly curtailing volume of trade, to tha detriment
of all engaged. Reference already ha been made
to tha ahara tha agricultural Industry ha In the sit
uation. Weaknesa on all market and declining
value In ail line of farm product ara tha reflection
of tha uncertainty Incident to tha interrupted trans
portatlon service,
No matter which side of tha controversy has one'a
sympathy, tha public la paying the price, because tha
enormoua los must-be distributed and shared in by
all. Tha splendid rron prospect, the big demand for
manufactured goods, tha building campaign, every
form of human activity in a land that ahould ba
tremendously engaged In pursuits that mean pros
perity, la discounted, (lowed down or (topped en
tirely, while dlsputca between employer and worker
ara deadlocked.
Tha president ha appealed to the reason and
generosity of tha disputanta, with slight effect; what
else he mar do i at thia writing to ba disclosed. Ha
plainly haa tha support of tha people in his adher
ence to law under tha constitution; It may not ba too
much to promise ha will hava tha aama support if ha
take a little mora power into his own hands. For it
Is the farmer, the merchant, tha householder, who ara
sustaining tha loss and who ara demanding relief.
What Other
Editors Say
"WISE CRACKS."
Pithy sayings always hava abounded In everyday
speech. The American who aucceeded best in catch"
Ing thia aplrit of homely wisdom was Benjamin
Franklin. As tha author of "Poor Richard's Almanac"
ha was tha father of what ia called in tha patter of
today, tha "wise crack."
"God helps them that help themselves," Poor
Richard said, and "Experience keeps a dear school,
but fools will ftarn in no other." There is something
so true and practical in his words that this aga in Ha
confidence and self-sufficiency is prona to scoff at
them. For, ba it known, to refer to a statement as a
"wise crack" ia often to belittle it In a sarcastic way.
Tha comment is equivalent to atopping up one's ears
or announcing that one's mind is closed on tha
subject'.
Today when Norman Hapgood write, "Tha pub
lic usually vote against lomethlng; on hundred
year from now it may vote for omething," thoa
who do not understand it truth will limply call it a
"wia crack" and forget it. Cheaterton' pointed wit
likewise is dulled a we hear him lay, "Wa no longer
lock a man up for doing aomethlng; we lock him up
in the hope of hi doing nothing," without making any
application of hi thought.
"Tha fearful unbelief is unbelief In yourself,"
Carlyle wrote. "Every man ia wanted, and no man
is wanted much," said Emerson. Wise cracks, both
f them nnd yet with a world of meaning. "Hypoc
risy is the homage vice paya to virtue," said Roche
foucauld, and "It is great folly to wish only to ba
wise." -
These thoughts are neatly expressed, each ona
cBDable of being expanded into a volume. In one
car and out the other while the school of experience
lb thronged with unwilling scholars.

PERILS OF DISORGANIZED ACTION.
A clear note of sanity arises above the ruck of
tha transportation struggle. It Is the voice of W. G.
Lee, president of the Brotherhood of Trainmen, or
dering Santa Fe railroad workers to return to their
duties. He says:
"We are in full sympathy with the shopmen's
strike, but I will not pass authority to strike on to
Individual members or local committees in any case.
I am instating that all walkouts be conducted in an
orderly manner and not picce-meal and that the con
stitution and general rules of our organization be
lived up to."
There is the true spirit of collective action.
Unionism does not propejly consist of isolated groups
acting on their individual initiative, but requires joint
action under the counsel and orders of the chosen
leaders. Responsibility ran not rightfully be shifted
or avoided. Irresponsibility is not only a menace to
the public, but to unionism as well.
If labor organisations were to be destroyed, the
natural outcome would be just such sporadic and
unconsidered deeds as those threatened by local
walkouta of the brotherhood members. It Is for the
beat interests of all employe ra, employes and (he
whole public that Industry should be conducted on an
organised basis and not on the plan of guerilla
warfare.
