Hoover Says Socialism in Eu
ropc is Bankrupt.
Herbert Hoover, bend of the
Ainericau Foreign Belief,whose
work abroad' bits .won liim the
praise of Ibo civilized world,'
was tendered n humplet in New |
York by 1200 members of the
Amerionu Institute of Mining:
and Metallurgical Engineers]
who cheered to the echo when;
the touBtmuBtor, \V. L. Saun-1
ders, KUggesled Unit Mr. Hoov?
er was titled to ??bond the ship:
of state." In large part Mr. ,
Hoover's speech consisted of a
denunciation of Socialism und
Bolshevism as practiced in Eu?
rope. Mr Hoover said in part
on t bis subject:
"Two convictions are doitii
naul in my mind. The tirst!
comes from contact with stu
pefidouu social ferment anil rev?
olution in which Europe is at?
tempting to find a solution for
all its social ills by practical ex?
periments in socialism. My
conviction is that this whole,
philosophy is bankrupting it
self in the extraordinary lower-,
ing of productivity of industrial
commodities to a point thai, ;
until (he recent realization of
thin bankruptcy, was below the
necessity for continued exis
luncuof their millions of people
"My seilend conviction is a
greater appreciation of the en?
ormous distance we of Am riea
have grown away from Europe
in the century and a half of our
national existence, in our out?
look mi lite, our relations tow?
ards oui neighbors, and our so. '
dial and political ideals."
"The whole of the various
sorts of socialism," Mr. Hoover
said, "tiro based on one primary
conception. That is that the
productivity of the human bo
illg Cllll be maintained under
the impulse of altruism, ami the
selection of the particular hu?
man for his most productive
: performance cau b?: iuadu
by some superimposed bureau
cracy. My conclusion is that
socialism, as u philosophy of
human application, bas al?
ready bankrupted itself: it has
proved itself, with rivers of
blood and suffering to be an
economic and spirited fallacy."

Your Neighbor's Yard and
Yours.
We all take a look at our
neighbor'!] yard as we pass by.
If it is attractive, and appeals
to the eye, we have something
nice to say of it, or wo think it
without saying.
If it is rusty, and weather
beaten, tind neglected j we won
der what ails our good friend
across the way. Wo may even
pity him in his apparent inabil?
ity to keep up to date.
in lime we may even begin
to look upon that yard as a sort
of eve sore, and become just a
little peeved at his carelessness.
Because, you know, we do
not think much of careless peo?
ple, any way/""
Mut w hat of our own yard?
Dp we give it that cure and
attention that insures it from
just such thoughts and remarks
by our neighbor.
Do we look it over carefully
each week, with a view toeliini
haling the ? oh sirable, and en?
hancing ih.it winch beautifies
the community?
Are. we a beantitier, or just a
critic}
If every man in this town
will take this little lesson home,
'and give serious considera?
tion, it will he hut .1 short time
when we will not criticise our
neighbor's yard, and our neigh?
bor will not criticise onrs-r-bo
cause then- will be nothing to
'criticise.
Most men are willing to be
ruled by the majority, provided
they constitute the majority.
