THE FEAST OF HARMONY:--
Better la a dry morsel, and quietness
therewith, than a bouse full of sacri
fices with strife.—Proeerbs 17:1.
THE GOLDEN RULE:- As ye*
woukl that men should do to you. do
ye also to them likewise.—Luke 6 31.
AN HONOR TO WILSON
William Randolph Hears! s blatant
propaganda over the radio agalnflt
President Wilson and his policies, in
stead of damaging the great name of
the war-time president and those who
have dared to follow where he led,. Is
a distinct honor to Mr. Wilson's mem
ory When he was alive he so consid
ered any remark or reference to hlifc
\
as an attack by Hearst. t
The publisher has always been oqe
of those fellows whose policy was one
of rule or ruin. Unless he can dic
tate or have what he himself desire*;,
he turns upon the would-be benefactor
with all the force ss4 power of Ms
large chain of newspapers and sprays
fileth and venom going and consing.
He tried to exercise an influence
over Woodrow Wilson, but the latter
would ‘have none of him. with the re
sult that Hearst became an enemy of
tiie war president ail his days.
Speaking from Los Angeles. Hearst
spread a stench in the air by an as
sault upon Wilson these many years
after he Is dead. He then aocuued
Herbert Hoover of being a Wilson ite,
and we suspect that In that he Is cor
rect. We have no doubt that Hoover
today would like to see the United
States a member of the League of
Nations, but he dares not make even
a gesture In that direction as long as
he Is under obligations to a political
party (hat was always as bitter against
Wilson a3 was Hearst. It Is not Wil
son’s policies, however, as Hearst
charges, that are responsible for the
conditions we are living in today. I
Rather it is the failure of this country ,
to hold up 1U own end of the bargain
negotiated at Pali a that has resulted,
in much of the chaos that now is j
plaguing the nations.
The fact that Hearst has always
take* it upon himself to attempt to
destroy those who displease him or
refudb to take his dictation Is one
explanation of wby he has never
made any headway in politics. It is
one reason, too. why so little atten
tion is paid to hls ran tings Hoover,
to dut way of thinking, has been on*
of the monstrous failure of history as
a president of the United States, but
we did not get that opinion from
Hearst. nor will the country repudiate
on the strength of'ttoe ravings of this
publisher. What he has said against
WI lift and the l&tter’s policies is an
honor to the dead war president whose
glory will only be reaching its pin
nacle when the world has forgotten
that there ever was a man by the
name of William Randolph Hearst-
A DRAMATIC HOCK IN HISTORY
Wf who are privileged to live in
this present day have much to be
grateful for. We are viewing changes
and transformations that few genera
tions through the ages have . seen.
This country and the world face one
of the great dramatic moments of
history, whose ultimate outcome Is notj
yet clear but watching events unfold
aud to see and be a part, even if a
unall part, of what is going on in
these momentous times is something
that has been given to but few de
cades since man came into what is
commonly recognised hj our modem
civilisation.
What is transpiring at this moment
is too close to hs for a proper apprais
al to be placed upon tt. Team that
are yet to 4awc wtU evaluate the
•veals o t these days Only then can
the cause aad effect be set over
against each other In their relative
relationships.
The world is groggy. It is topey
turry from a cadse it knows not
whal In every land and nation there
is uncertainty and confusion. But
there la hope and there is away out.
We shall emerge, If we are wise, a
better and a more hardened people.
In one country religion has been re
pudiated as a great social experiment
Is being put to the test In another
and in several there is political unrest
and ferment. In all of them the sting
of the economic crisis is felt. Every
where the master minds of the times
| are grappling for a solution of the
problem, and up to bow all of them
have only groped about In the dark.
There are almost as many plans as
I there are Individuals who have given
thought to the conditions and to pos
sibly remedies. But the Pandora box
la still ajar and the Ills and evils of
humankind flow unchecked.
Somehow, somewhere. sometime
, there is going to be a new deal. Just
| what form it will take is as yet ot>-
I scure. We piddle about at our finger
tips while out where the horizon be
gtns awaits a new order of things.
When there is .10 much running around
in a ring without ever finding the out
let or the inlet, and when ail men are
at their wits* ends, tt is time to con
clude that what is taking piece and
what is going on rests in the lap of
the gods. Man's extremity is Gods
opportunity, and there Is no escape
from the conviction that the hand of
the Infinite is behind and beneath i
the influences at play on the stage of :
world events at this hour.
No, this is not pessimism. Indeed. 1
It is not an Inspiration and a consola- j
tion to feel that a Master Mind Is at 1
work directing the cylonic transfor- 1
matlons that are In progress? Finite
understandings that are in and a par
cel of these movements are too atomic
to comprehend the scope and measure
of these trends. Yet there is know- ,
ledge that something is taking place, j
It is not a thing to fear, but some- i
thing ta rivet our attention and to '
challenge our interest. The parade is i
passing by and *lt of us are in the !
line of march, and at the same time we ;
are privileged to look at the amazing ;
and Interesting sight. .When we shall
have emerged and shall have arrived
,at our «Reetjnstion. humanity wig
have achieved a new step in its de
velopment that will make for great j
happiness and contentment, of the '
Sfteat aqd the 3mall. if Indeed in the I
shuffling of the cards there will be j
hueh marks of distinction. It is a :
dramatic hour in history, hnd It is
good to be alive in such a time.
A TOT AND A BOTTOM
While the country stands on the
sideline and views, somewhat with
alarm, the gradual and persistent de- i
cline in prices, it seems to have large- j
ly forgotten that glorious period a !
short while ago when the trend was
in the opposite direction, and when no '
man knew one day what he would 1
have to pay the nest day for the ne
cessities of his business or his. per
sonal living. We appear to have lost
right of the cycles of the century, and
• hat thing which Roger Babson ts
wont to label as the inevitable law of
action and reaction.
The pendulum never swings so far
In one direction but that it goes back ’
again in the other, and further it
swings to the right the further it will I
go to the left when gravity ultimately
overcomes Its course The period of
great prosperity that followed the
World War did not come upon the
world overnight, nor was It wholly
due to the war. Neither will tbto
slump disappear overnight, but that
It will vanish is as certain as the
! motions of the pendulum.
Th* present depression has pre
vailed long enough to steel the hearts
of infen for the exactions being made
upon them. They are ready for any
fate, and in that readiness is the will
to conquer.
Just as there Is a top and a bottom
in the cycles of industry, just so there
is a top and a bottom to prices. There
is fvery reason bo believe that bottom
has been touched. Pessimism is not
universal. There are’ yet many stout
hearts; perhaps more of that type than
any other. That is not so hard to do
, 15 may be supposed. The Saturday
Evening Post radiates the feeling in
an editorial entitled. “Both a Top and
a Bottom to Prices.” It is a cheer
ful thought. Here it is:
“The prolonged fall in commodity
prices seemed to many doubting Tho
-1 maxes like the very fend of the world
itself, and these declines did have a
most serious and depressing effect
But H is discovered, and not for the
first time in the history of mankind,
that such prices do not move in one
direction only. Wheat and sliver i|.
lust rate what we mean. Long con
tinued price movements carry with
them the Illusion of assured continu
ance. People are fooled Ixßo believing
that the movement gtop. Bat

it xlwnys do«. There, are both top
and bottom. ,
"It is the same with securities.
Bonda do not fail indefinitely. Nor
do frozen asset* always remain In
that condition. Time and hard work
are great healers. They soften and
modify many a hard situation In
dact, these freaen situations nearly al
ways work out. not always to a 100
per cent liquidation, but without the
nation as a whole going to pieces or
calling in a receiver In the same
wny the earnings of business enter
prise can go up almost as fast as they
can go down. Periods of lean, volume
and profits do not continue for all
time for the Individuals, partnerships
and companies which make up the
business structure. There arc those
which fa|l. reorganize or vanish.
Heavy losses are sustained and much
suffering results. But In many other
cases expenses ai e cut, new economies
established and the groundwork laid
for excellent profits in the not-dis
tant future. Moreover, new business
es always get a start at such times.
This Is not only the history of busi
ness enterprise but It Is its very na
ture.
“All of us are inclined to confuse
temporary conditions with permanent
or fundamental principles. Each
passing emergency problem seems for
a time to be overwhelming In import
ance. or at least a fixed and lasting
addition to our troubles. But it is
solved, or in the course of nature
solves itself, and then passes on out
of notice. So ,the shadows disappear
the Insuperable obstacles somehow
drop away, and confidence Is Justified
by the continuing institutions of our 1
country.
This society of ours has its faults,
but these are not to be remedied l>y
its members’ losing faith in the insti
tutions themselves. We live In a time
when the country needs constructive,
helpful, sympathetic recovery.”
POINTING THE RfeY
The tobacco companies are releas
ing the first copy in theri 1932 cam
paign for business and by so doing
are pointing the way to other concerns
that h&v* something to sell and are
looking for a market. What adver
tising has done . lor cigarettes It can
do for other commodities and will do
it if given the chance.
Some one will aay that the tobacco
companies can afford to advertise be
cause the|l ar* so rich and have so
much money at their disposal. But
they didn’t Have so much of It until
they went after the business and sold
their product. And all of them give the
credit for their success to their ag
gressive advertising efforts. It may
also be argued that they have a pro
duct that is easy to sell and which the
public mill buy anyhow. The answer
to that is that cigarettes did not eel'
in the proportions they are being
marketed today until high pressure
advertising methods were employed.
Printer's ink is bringing home the
bacon for them and it can and will
do It for others if judiciously applied.
Ad%’<rtising creates the demand and
paves the way for the salesman. It
is half of the selling job. Most people
prefer an advertised product to one thfe'
Is not known, because they know that
there is more dependence to be put
in such a commodity. If you have
something the public wants and you
will let the public know you have It
for sale* that public will manage
somehow to get It sooner or later. And
the history of successful enterprise is
that few have stepped into high with
out the wise and generous use of ad
vertising.

SOMETHING OUT OF JOINT. I
To the Editor: !
k nave read a pnragT&i,.i somewhere, 1
sometime, which said: "All men are '
lairs.” And when I began analyzing j
the reasons -if such can be called j
reasons—being given by politicians for j
the present depression I realize the i
impossibility of ever proving that)
statement false. <
We are told: "Georgia raised too
many water melons, South Carolina
too much cotton. North Carolina too
much tobacco, Virginia too many po- >
t a toes. lowa too much corn and the
middle West too much wheat, and the
laboring masses too much Hell?
Hence, a depression was inevitable.”
Such ridiculous arguments carry a
bad odor. They savor of something
the cats have brought in and make a
fellow want to go out behind the
chicken house and not vomit or spew
nor throw up but puke.

! in the Nation’s history by filling the

brought against a class of people.

Our forefathers, who wrung this

to give thanks to our Creator for
blessing us with bountiful harvests.
But during the year that has just

the President and Governors were j

were debating the advisability of lim
