FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1911.
AN ENGLISHMAN DISCUSSES THE
GREAT AMERICAN PAIN.
"We are living In a period of revolu
tion. There is danger in the spirit of
discontented men who would rebel
against the law. Our institutions at
this day are In the balance. Within
a decade we shall see whether the
grlevances of today—the problems
which confront us—will be settled by
the law or by the manner that has
-the
been in existence for 2000 years
revolutlon of violence and terror
to the
bloodshed—Senator Cummins
graduating class of a Washington law
School."
Taking as his text Senator Cummins'I
speech, Mr. Low, the Washington cor
respondent of the London National Re
view, inquires and considers, for the
information of his English readers,
what justifies such an utterance as the
foregoing.
Of course he points out that we have
such incitements as those given by
Senator Cummins and other insur
gents and as those given by Mr. Bryan
and his echoes. And then, he says,
we have the constant clamor about the
"wrongs" of the people which pro
duces upon a foreign observer this
"A stranger unacquainted with the
facts would be justified in believing
that the Americans were crushed un
der the extortions of the tax-gatherer;
effect:
that their lands and goods were at the
mercy of their overlords; that they
eked out a miserable and precarious
existence; that they were hungry and
cold and ragged."
Again we have such direct asser
tions of falsehood as that which Mr.
Low quotes from a speech by Repre-1
sentative Copley,
the
Aurora gas
magnate, before another graduating
class. After asserting that the con
trol of the railroad, telegraph, tele
phone and iron and steel industries
rests in the hands of "five men," who
also control "70 per cent of the bank
ing interests of New York,' Mr. Cop
ley stated the "paramount issue" of
the day in these terms:
"We are face to face with the great
est problem of our extistenee. Shall
five men who dominate the United
States Steel Corporation rule the
country by an oligarchy of wealth, or
shall the people govern for the ben
efit of all the people, and give every
man a square deal?"
"This," as Mr. Low truthfully says,
is one of those reckless statements
for which there is no warrant. This
power is not centered in the hands of
five men. But the average audience
and the
goes on its
cannot determine the facts,
fable of the five men
travels, arousing hatred."
Then there is the constant assault
upon the integrity of the courts by Mr.
Bryan, Mr. Roosevelt and their echoes.
Not only has the state judiciary been
discredited by these demagogues but
they are now endeavoring to bring the
federal judiciary, and even the national
supreme court, under suspicion. Mr.
Low instances the demagogic reception j

How this constant dropping wears
the stone we have the sharpest kind
of illustration in the Roosevelt panic
of 1907. We were in the height of
prosperity, and we went to smash;
mainly because of the constant yelling
from the highest place in the nation
about how "oppressed" and how "cor
rupt" we were and how we must "sus
pect" as "malefactors" all our neigh
bors who had acquired any considera
ble share of this worlds goods.
We mention this case merely be

option produced by the methods to
which we are subjected and which,
and|wiih their effects, are thus accurately
described by Mr. Low;
"Keep on telling a man who has less

of his neighbors' knavery; tell him
that, though his wages are higher
today than ever, he is paid less than
he is entitled to, and that while he

But
I there any justification for these in
j citements to revolution except in the
That is the hard truth.
desire of the agitators for notoriety
and power? According to this British
writer—this foreign observer merely
stationed in our country to observe
anc j report—there is not. Here is his
| judgment:
"Democratle institutions were not at
fault. Democracy has not proven itself
a failure. The American people have
not been eaten up by corruption or be
come debauched by luxury. * * *
We hear much of the "wrongs" under
which the people are "groaning," but
only the finely attuned ear of the dem
agogue is able to hear these cries.
The mass of the people are not in
want, they have not abandoned hope,
they are engaged in no desperate
struggle for existence, they are still
in the enjoyment of their liberty."
Then why this hospitality to the
evil ? Why what Mr. Low well terms
the incomprehensible spectacle of a
nation so bountifully blessed as the
American sunk in the depths of Welt
schmerz, filling the air with their lam
entations and bemoaning that the
glory of Israel has departed?"
We don't know. Nobody has come
forward with any rational explanation
why the American people, blessed as
they are, should so revile each other
as they do. If other nations were to
judge us by the accounts given of us
by those whom we lift to some of our
highest places of trust and honor, their
necessary and logical conclusion
would be that America deserves the
fate of the Cities of the Plain.
Never in recorded human history
has any people gone into such a frenzy
of self-condemnation as the Ameri
can people have been indulging. We
don't know why they should do so. We
can understand why demagogues
should seek profit by inciting the
frenzy to greater heights. But we
don't know why apparently sane men
and women should so besmirch them
selves and so befoul their own na
tional household. But we agree with
Mr. Low that:
"It is time that the American people
got a grip on themselves and realized
their folly. Life and health are in
them, but they must throw off their
moral hypochondria if they would
escape from the ills their imagination
pictures."
Something is probably needed to
move the people to shake off the mor
habit of public self-reproach to
®
which so many of the better educated
Americans are victims.
But of one thing the demagogues
may be certain: Either, as Mr. Low
says, "there wlil be the revolution that
Senator Cummins predicts, or the men
who Inflame the passions of the
masses so as to make them ready for
violence and terror and
will be driven out and spat upon by
their dupes."

THINGS ALL OUGHT TO KNOW
As Christian Bible Students—The Sat
isfactory Proof of "Why God Per

One of the questions «which comes to
nearly every thinking mind today Is,
"Why does God permit evil?" As we
look about us in the world wo observe
that It Is filled with sorrow and trouble,
sickness and pain and every trial we
could enumerate, and we cannot help
wondering WHY GOD ALLOWS IT.
We realize that He Is almighty and
that He could prevent It if lie wished
We read in Ills Word that He Is more
willing to do for His children than
are earthly parents for theirs, and we
I now how much that means; yet of
tentimes, it seems that those who try
to do and live right have the most
trouble. This question is made very
clear In a book entitled, "The Divine

while God does not sanction evil HE

A Dollar's Day.
One morn a silver dollar woke
Inside Sam Snyder's clothes
And softly to itself It spoke,
"Oh, where do you suppose
I'll sleep tonight? Perhaps away
From here in alien lands—
For, if Sam goes to town today,
I surely will change hands."
At six Sam started for the town,
At eight the coin was spent;
In Parson's store Sam laid it down,
Then over the hills he went
To see the barn of Walter Chase,
A model of its kind.
(For some such barn for his own place
Sam Snyder had In mind.)
Not long in Parson's busy till
The dollar had a rest,
For Sam was hardly up the hill
Before the coin was pressed
In Humphrey's hand to fix a horse
That day had cast, a shoe;
And so the dollar kept its course
To other people, too,
Until it came to Henry Black.
Now, meanwhile, Sam that day
Had seen the barn and started back
Along his homeward way.
His good wife met him with a kiss
