Fixing Things
Chairman Charles Nesbit, of the treas
ury department’s special food commis
sion, declares that there is just one wax
to avoid a coming food shortage. Tha
biggest crops ever raised must be pro
duced; the government must guarantee
a market to the farmer, fix minimum
prices for his principal products and buy
his surplus.
Sounds pretty good. Charles, but equi
tably fixing prices for farm products
would require work enough to justify
formation of another government within
our government.
However, we’re willing, for one, to
sample this medicine.
There is a product that’s a necessity
to pretty near everybody.
It is controlled t*|th as to production
and suppression of production, by a few
men. all so fat with money that this med
icine can’t hurt them.
Government fixing of price on this
necessity would be as simple and safe
and easy as laughing at a cat w-ith her
head caught in an empty tomato can.
Let’s fix a minimum price on old
Standard’s gasoline, Charles!

The Bi bLo agent* have operated in St Louis as well a* Detroit,
and tb< re. a* in Detroit, methods us "putting over" the proposition were

Tennyson’s Theology.
•Y DR. FRANK CRANE
(Copyright, 1915, by Frank Crane)
“Dear Sir," writes a gentleman from
New' Jersey, “I have read your article of
some time ago, and I wish to state l be
lieve I have a natural light to ask, Why
does your Almighty and All-merciful God,
who created the universe and even the
glittering stars, allow His Christian chil
dren to perpetuate this horrible slaughter
in Europe? It will not do to say, It is His
way. etc. It is human judgment and rea
son that this is infamous and hideous.
Shall we, in this enlightened twentieth
century, worship, honor, and love this
God?"
Answer: This is a free country* an( l
you don’t have to believe in God if you
don’t want to.
But suppose you don’t; then what?
If the world is not managed by a good
God then (1) it must lie controlled by a
vicious God, or (2) by no God at all. or
(3) by the devil, or ( I) by the devil and
God in competition.
All these theories have l>een held at
various times and by different cults. They
haven’t given much satisfaction. Most
intelligent people fall back to the l>elief
that there must U‘ a good God, altho
there are many things in the ways of
providence that we cannot understand.
Tennyson’s lines probably express our
common conviction as concisely as pos
sible:
O vcf wc trust that <.«>m*>h<>w good
Will be th* final goal <>f 111
We “trust"; we do not know. We l>e
lieve, liecause to believe anything else is
infinitely worse. There is no alternative.
To believe God is vicious would make
this a horrible and sinister world.
To believe that the universe is purely
material, with “no divine, far-off event
to which the whole creation moves,’*
would make of it what Carlyle calls “a
huge, immeasurable steam engine, rolling
on in its dead indifference to grind me
limb from limb.’’
The presence of evil jn the world is
something noliody understands. W'hatdy
called it “the problem of the ages.”
But, after all. it is because of that, not
in spite of it, that we believe in the Eter
nal Goodness. Our moral sense forces us
to the conclusion that “somehow” right
and justice must prevail.
It is in the bosom of man. not in the
events of the world, that the sent of God
it a Tgue that there is a good
Governor of ail things because all things
are pleasant and right; we l>elicve there
must be a good purpose overruling all, be
'cause sd many things apparently prove
the contrary.
V\ e follow our inextinguishable in
stinct. rather than our limiteM powers of
observation and logic, liecause we are es
sentially moral beings. We have to be
lieve in Goodness Almighty, simply be
cause to l»elieve anything else presents a
hundredfold more difficulties. Tennyson’s
“In Memoriam" is pretty good theology:
