Preparedness For Profit
Advocates of a big navy have received a setback fcj
popular opinion that they cannot easily overcome.
The allegations of William D. Shearer, a naval txpert.
that he was employed by corporations interested In
war ship construction to defeat the disarmament ne
gotiations at Geneva, indicate a conspiracy to fo6ter
preparedness for profit. Moreover. Bhearer intimates
that a part of the propaganda he sponsored was re
signed to stir suspicion and hatred among the powers
Interested in the disarmament proposals. President
Hoover has demanded that the Bethlehem Shipbuild
ing corporation, the American Brown Bovert Electric
corporation and the Newport News Shipbuilding and
Dry Dock company, against which Shearer brought
suit, present their side of the controversy. No matter
how innocent the responsible heads of these torpora
tions may prove themselves to be. Shearer’s itatement
of what he. himself, did in this matter will be diffi
cult to refute.
Popular opinion in America undoubtedly favors
peace and further disarmament. Only future develop
ments can prove whether this public opinion h r:lse
or foolish, but It does represent the wish of the vast
majority, beyond doubt. That opinion will be tre
mendously strengthened by the allegation that the
shipbuilding interests would promote potential reuses
of friction merely for the purpose of augmenting pri
vate profit*.
If America should be Involved In another war soon,
th* people, as usual, would regret that the nation is
not better prepared. WPh no war threatening, how
ever. there is righteous resentment against my plot
more likely to provoke International hostilities Vhat
is a natural feeling, and the corporations involved in
Shearer's statement will have dtfficulty allaying the
belief that th? people have been Imperiled to make
dividends for the shipbuilders. This public lentiment
will be appreciably reflected in congress. Resident
Hoover has taken a popular stand.. He might have
Ignored what may be no more than the spleen of a
former employe of the corporations. He chooses
rather to get the full fact* of the case, that the public
may have clearer understanding on which to base Its
op'nlcn.
A Natural Trend
Great modem inter-connected electric lystems.
•erving millions of people and hundreds of localities,
are natural outgrowths of our Industrial age.
If our social and economic civilization fievelops.
electricity is constantly more necessary to the indi
vidual, manufacturer, farmer. An adequate lunply
of power at a low price is Imperative to progress, tn
fact it must precede general progress. The small lo
cal plans of the past, with their lack of facilities, their
comparatively high operating rost, their Inefficient
service, could not meet changing conditions and grow
ing demand.
The modern electric system, far from being an oc
topus. represents the accumulated money and work
of millions of our citizens in all walks of life. It is a
monument to the achievements made possible by in
dividual genius and ambition. And. most important
of all. it Is an unrivalled institution of public service.
The modem trend of electric development Is giving
every small town an opportunity to secure industries,
as such communities should have the advantages of
low taxes and good living conditions. Large inter
connected electric systems, give equally good service
in localities of a few hundred people or a few million.
Mass production, with elimination of waste, dupli
cation of effort and exorbitant profits, is the key to
industrial progress. The electric utilities are leading
the way and are being followed by numerous other
j businesses. The consumer reaps the benefit.
On the basis of returns for the early months of
1929. the railroads are now In the midst of their most
prosperous year since the wjr. It is an emazin? fact
that one of our greatest and moat necessary indus
tries has been actually “starved1’ for almost a decade.
Service has. however, been continually Improved and
costs have been reduced In all phases of operation In
spite of burdensome taxation and legislation.
If. as the facts seem to indicate, the railroads are
i at last receiving well-deserved prosperity, every Amer
j lean citisen and industry will benefit. No business
can be maintained, indefinitely, much less progress
j without profits.
The once great danger of delays and car shortages
has practically disappeared. The standards of mod
ern railroad service have never before been equalled.
This speaks volumes for the railroads’ spirit of public
service, and the efficiency and optimism of their man
! agements. in the face of discouraging conditions.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14 —Senator Reed Smoot's
daughter decided recently that she wanted to go to
work. To dad's office on capitol hill she went with
i the suggestion that she would rather work for Mm
than anyone she could think of.
"Splendid idea." the Utah senator told her, "but
where do I come in?" (Senator Smoot has the repu
tation of being one of the hardest working men in
Washington.)
The daughter wasn’t certain.
But at the present she* is enrolled in a Washington
secretarial school trying to learn shorthand and
typewriting.
And dad has promised her a Job if she proves her
efficiency when the course is completed.
BE-SPATTED FARMER
On the surface it appears to be one of the anom
alies of the curious game of politics that the only
farmer-laborite member of the United States senate
is one of the most Immaculate, be-waistcoated and
be-spatted gentleman in that body.
But that Is exactly what Henrik 6hipstead of
Minnesota is.
The late Senator Lodge of Massachusetts once j
characterized Shipstead as one of the most promising ;
of the younger senators and accorded him the re- j
spect inspired by merit. Society in Washington has
| done the same. The Shipsteads are accepted in the |
most exclusive circles and are liked.
At the time of his election the Shipsteads lived in i
, a comparatively humble home on North Fremont :
street in Minneapolis. Their taste hasn't changed |
much in this respect. In Washington they make their
home on East Capitol street in the neighborhood of
the capitol .
At the present 8enator Shipstead is ruffering from j
illness. Upon the advice of his physician he is Tlv- j
tng on an island In Minnesota until his health has j
Improved suffleicnlty to permit his return to the rap
ltal.
The senator is a big man physically. He stands j
fl feet 1 1-2 Inches tall, and before his illness weighed
in the neighborhood of 185 pounds. He has blue eves
and light hair that is turning gray. He will be 49
' years old in January.
-
I P THE LADDER
Up from the bottom of the ladder came Henrik
1 Ihlpstead.
He was born on a farm, one of 12 children of Saave
: Shipstead. who came to this country from Norway
Henrik had to work early in Ilf*. His father gave
him 14 acres to plant in potatoes when just a boy '
H* remembers yet that he marketed his crop at 11 i
rents a bushel.
He hired out at 14 years of age to shock grain he- j
hind a binder and was paid $1 a day. He waited on
tables while completing his course in dentistry at !
•lorthwestern university. Evanston. 111.
He was a practicing dentist in Minneapolis at the
flm* of his election to the United States senate.
He is an enthusiastic camper and angler. Another
favorite recreation is horseback riding.
Shipstead s cheerful disposition has won for him |
the reputation of being one of the best liked and
most popular men In the tenate.

Bowie, adjutant of the post, states:
“At a meeting of our post two
weeks ago the matter of the present

to our Mexican people who are vol
untarily leaving for Mexico, not
knowing whether or not they have
the legal right to be In this country, j
The post decided that it would
take an active interest in allaying
the unrest that is now prevalent
among the Mexican population, and
also take steps to aid these people

rights in this matter.
“We enclose herewith a poster ad- !
dressed to the Mexican people which I
we have distributed In and around
the San Benito district. If your post
decides to take similar action in
this work, perhaps the enclosed
poster will be of service tc you as
you will probably wish to use sim
ilar methods of publicity as we have
adopted.
“We only send this letter to advise
you what steps we have taken and j
to ask your cooperation if your pest
sees fit to give same.
“If at any time you have occasion
to require information as to our po
sition tn the matter, please feel free

“THE OPENING OF THY WORDS
GIVETH EIGHT" * Psalm 119-130
Bv DR. ALVIN E. BELL
Nehemiah performed a colossal
task in a statesmanlike way when
he restored the walls of Jerusalem.
But his restoration did not stop
with such material things as wells
and gates and fair rates of interest.
He knew that the worst enemies of
mankind are within man's own
breast, and are in no wise affected
by the walls of stone and mortar.
He was statesman enough to sense
that a reformation that does no;
root itself in an inner change of
mens hearts and souls has no
abiding character and no real val
ue while it does last.
The Word of God Restored
So Nehemiah gathered the petyle
together in a great assembly, men.
women and children, and had his
associate. Ezra, the scribe, bring
out the book of the law of Jeho
vah and read it before the people
"And he read therein before the
broad place that was before the wa
ter gate from early morning until
midday, in the presence of men and
women, and of those that could un
derstand; and the ears of all the
people were attentive unto the book
of the law.” Had this law been
heard and heeded there would have
been no captivity, no ruined walls
or desecrated temple, no power of
their enemies over them. Their
national strength and security were
to be found in obedience to that
law. Their true safeguards must be
spiritual, not material; their re
sources inner, not external.
The Lost Art of Revenge
Ezra's congregation teaches us a
lesson in that true reverence
which is almost a lost art in many
quarters: “And when he opened
the book all the people stood up.
And Ezra blessed Jehovah the
great God; and all the people an
swered. Amen, Amen, with the lift
ing up of their hands: and they
bowed their heads, and worshipped
Jehovah with their faces to the
ground." There is too prevalent a
tendency in these days to substi
tute entertainment for worship
and synthetic jazz for reverence.
The Primacy of Religious Education
Ezra's handling of the scriptures
. * ~r : 1 J”-a- •’aw* “Oft-**
has its lesson, also, for the teach
ers of today as well as for the pu
pils, for, "they read in the book, In
the law of God, distinctly; and
they gave the sense, so that they
understood the reading.” True re
ligion must be educational. Jesus'
last commission was to "make dis
ciples of all nations teaching them."
The church must never cease to be
a teaching institution, and those
who teach the word must 'give the
sense’ thereof.
If we inquire the results of this
searching of the scripture in which
Ezra led the nation, we find it was
two-fold, as always; first in the
people's own joy: "And all the peo
ple went their way to eat. and to
drink, and to send portions, and
to make great mirth because thev
had unerstood the words that wer*
declared unto them;” and second
in the Joy they spread to others, as
they went out among the poor and
needy to “send portions unto them
for whom onthing is prepared"
This Joy of the Lord which is our
strength is never selfish. True re
ligion Is always benevolent. Chris
tianity is the fountain head of mod
ern benevolence which has blessed
the world with hospitals, orphan
ages and asylums for every needy
class, for Christ has said, “freely
ye have received, freely give."
(The International Uniform Les
son for Sept. 15 is Nehemiah 8:1
18. the subject being "Teaching the
Law of God” and the Golden Text,
The opening of thy words givetli
light,” Psalm 119:130.)
