And many are enthusiastic about the "goal of civilization." They talk as though we were headed for somewhere in particular. Almost they would give one the feeling that we are on a "highway," having a terminal, with rest rooms for the traveler. Well—I know that there are a lot of wrecks strewn along the way. One philosopher has itemized and told off some of the "steps up from savagery," as follows: First he names: Speech, words, the control of language among men. Then he mentions: Fire, the control of heat and light. Next: The conquest of the ani mals the triumph over the beasts.

Case plant. E. R. Legg, 227 South 7th St. ..John P. Kuenzel, R. R. No. 3. After that: Agriculture—mostly the work of women at first, since the men were busy hunting. Fifth on the list is: Social organi zation—meaning agreements among men and clans and tribes, the begin nings of law and government. Following that, or perhaps close alongside: Morals, some standard of right and wrong, establishment of con ventionalities. Tools is next named by this writer it seems to me out of any possible chronological order. Science: Organized knowledge which began as soon as men began to watch the stars, the winds, the tides, and keep records of them. Following that: Education—the passing on of systematized knowledge to the younger generations. Last of all he names: Writing and Print—which just shows that he was not making the list in order of devel opment. Someone has said that the control of fire was the most important step in human progress. I don't know how they measure the importance—how about language? And the philosopher did not even mention music. Perhaps he thought there were only tensteps up from savagery. If so, he missed a couple—what about the family? Some modern philosophers have no family—we must just forgive '£m. But what of it? What does "prog ress" mean, anyway?

California Lower House Wants Mooney Freed Sacramento, Calif. (ILNS)—Point ing out there is widespread doubt of the guilt of Thomas J. Mooney and Warren K. Billings, a resolution adopted by the assembly of the Cali fornia legislature asks Governor Merriam to commute the life sen tences of the two men. They were convicted on what is generally admit ted was perjured evidence of com plicity in the San Francisco Prepar edness Day bombing of 1916. The vote for the resolution was 51 to 28. PEORIA CARPENTERS LOCKED OUT Peoria, 111. (AFLNS)—The master carpenters' organization here locked out 87 carpenters belonging to Local Union No. 182 for refusing to work for less than the union scale, which is $1.25 an hour. Many contractors not under jurisdiction of the master car penters employ union men and pay the union scale. LINERS' CREWS STRIKE Paris (ILNS)—Striking crews of the liners Normandie, Champlain and Lafayette ended a day and a half of conferences with the merchant ma rine ministry with their dispute still deadlocked. Perhaps it just means more dis eases! That is what happens to sav ages when they first come in contact with civilization. And we have to stretch the diction ary today to take in "Psittacosis." It seems to mean "less babies" among other things. And of late, it means that those who get by the measles and mumps are living longer than their grand daddies did, on the average. But there is a doubtful advantage in that, if they cannot get a job! And it should bring some remuner ation as yet unthought of, to compen sate for the loss of youth and its reck less joys! Progress! It has not yet banished fear of want and pain. And FEAR is the deadliest enemy to the human mind and soul. Yet, there are those who say that unless men face fear and have to fight, they never get their manhood out of its swaddling-clothes! Fiom one kind of subjection, we have climbed up to another servitude. Gaining each new liberty, men after a space rebel again and want another freedom. Is progress, after all, nothing but change Or is there some direction, and a GOAL? a
