All of us are tired of hearing long theoretical dissertations on what the country needs to become contented, happy and prosperous. Much has been said and written on that topic. It remained for a St. Paul editor to present a "few , commonplace precepts, which every man might read to clarify his mind of s,ome misconception and to reach a clear understanding. His schedule follows:
"What this country needs is not a new birth of freedom, but the old-fashioned $2 lower berth. ' "What this country needs isn't more liberty, , but less people who take liberties with our liberty. . "What this country needs is not a job for every man, but a real man for every job. "What this, country needs isn't to get more taxes from the people, but for the people to get more from the taxes. "What this country needs is not more miles of territory, but more miles to the gallon. "What this country needs is more tractors and less detractors. a s"What this country needs isn't more young
men making speed, but more young men planting spuds. "What "this country needs is more paint on the old place and less paint on the young face. "What this country needs isn't a lower rate of interest on money, but a higher interest in work. "What this country needs is to follow the footsteps of the fathers instead of the footsteps
of the dancing master."
Back of his observations is double-distilled
truth from which many of us try to escape by
setting up platitudes that sound well but invari
ably fail when they are applied to the every-day
things of life.
If a check were put on our theorizing, and
all of us began to apply ourselves diligently to
our tasks, with the knowledge that hard work is
the foundation of all happiness and wealth, so-
called normalcy would be restored in a very
short time.
After the Civil war men and women settled
the Dlains and developed our industries. But
these conquests were not accomplished by theor
izing. It was hard work that enabled the pio
neer to break the sod of the prairie and plant his crops. The men who laid the foundations of
our industrial strength were believers in work.
Foolish theories made no appeal to them.
There were few luxuries in those days, but
men and women .were happy. Their contentment
came from the contemplation of work well per
formed, from interest in their work while they
were doing it, and from a correct mental view, point of problems.
Speculation and theorizing usually involve us
in a maze of complexities in which we lose sight of the path that leads to success and the happiness that" springs therefrom.

Older historians agree, that gun. ponder was known before it was ap- , plied for use in guns. All the com- . ponents and mixtures for Greek flro, Mtru'lar to gunpowder, were known as early as 1290. Guttman, who has made an exhaustive fctudy of the subject, says that "gunpowder was gradually developed from Greek fire, and was known years before cannon and guns were thought of. The use' of purer materials in making it, developed its propulsive power and led to the subsequent invention of cannons pnd guns. The Arabians were the first to make gunpowder like mixtures, probably about 1280 A. D., while the idea of using their propulsive force, that is the invention of guns and cannons, belongs to the monk, Berthold Schwartz, of Freiburg. Saxony; the date of the latter invention being probably 1313 A. D." It is accepted as indisputable that gunpowder mills existed at Augsburg, Germany, in 1340 and at Sandau. Germany, in
1344, while the English used gunpowder in guns at the battle of Creecy, in 1346. Q. When was the first world's fair held? R. E. A. The first industrial exposition in which all nations might participate was that held in the Crystal palace, London, from May 1 to Oct. 1, 1851. France held an Exposition Universello in 1855 and in 1862 the English had their second great international exposition in London. Q. By what right can they throw a man "out of a public meeting? J. F. L. A. Those who convene meeting have under the law the right to expel objectionable persons, providing they use only such force as is necessary for that purpose. Q. In playing Cassino, can I increase a build of a six composed of deuce and four, by adding an ace from th board and a deuce from my hand, calling it a nine? H. K. E. A. Builds may be raised with cards from the hand only; never with cards from the board.
Q. What Is the Christian name of
the Prince of Wales? S. D.
A. The full name of the Prince of
Wales is Edward Albert Christian George Andrew Patrick David. It is raid that his close friends call him David or Davy. Q. Have there ever been any five dollar yellowbacks? M. H. A.

"Do you think it would be wrong for a Methodist to play In a brass band?" he asked, his opea and ingenuous countenance filled with eagerness and doubt. "Well." said the parson, slowly, "it s for yourself you're asking, I suppose, Elisha?"" Mr. Johnson admitted that the case was his own. "And what instrument had you fixed in your mind?" asked the minister. "Well," said Elisha, with a gradually clearing face, "I kind of thought I'd tackle the trombone, if you said it was all right, and I wouldn't be fall I ing from grace to do it.'.'

' TODAY'S TALK By Georpe Matthew Adam, Author of "You Can," "Take It." -Up" ON WALKING HAPPILY AHEAD It is the attitude which we take toward our -work and our life that establishes, largely, our viewpoint on life in general. Mortimer Granville, in his book, "How to Make the Best of Life," has this to say: "It is not by being anxious in an inordinate or unduly fussy fashion that men can hope to live long and well. The best way to live well is to work well. ... One of the most seductive and mischievous of errors in self-management i3 the practice of giving way to inertia, weakness and depression. . . . Those who desire to live should settle this well in their' minds, that nerve power is the force of life and that the will ha3 wondrously strong and direct influence over the body through the brain and the nervous system." More and more, it does seem, that this world is getting to he one great family of fretters! It isn't work that kills. Work builds. It builds bodies, minds and souls. It establishes standards. It washes away that which is not beautiful and puts in its place that which stands as an inspiration. Walk merrily ahead and you will walk happily ahead. Digest a meal in anger and depression and you feed yourself enough poison to weaken your body machine for days! Mix your food with laughter and a happy frame of mind and you will rise to go forth "from conquering to conquer," though that meal be nothing more than the simplest fare. Get into the frame of ra4nd of never being whipped. Then, perchance, should you ever be so unfortunate as actually to be whipped why, you won't even know it! God hates a whiner. He hates an excuser. He hates a fellow who will never admit that he is wrong, but who harbors perfection. That is, I think that He hates these chaps. But he who whistles his way along come what may I am sure is destined to live the happiest sort of life, though it be spotted at times with gloom and discouragement. The difficult thing .about this life of ours is not to face and solve the difficult things, but so to organize our minds and our hearts that we may efficiently use every moment given us in a way to get the most done.

Fight It Out Or Stop Fighting Militant and Pacifist Schools of Thought Developed by Great Industrial Conflicts.
By FREDERICK J. HA SKIN WASHINGTON, D. C, Sept. 21. Out of the industrial controversies that have racked the country for the last year and threatened a crisis during recent weeks two distinct schools of thought have developed. One is militant; tht other, pacifist. One is insistent that the time has come to fight to a finish the differences between capital and labor or between the unions and the antiunion element. The other contends that the psychological hour has arrived to stop fighting to effect an armistice and negotiate a peace that will be permanent. Of the two schools the militant has been more largely in evidence and has asserted its views the more vehement, ly. It would appear to be the stronger numerically. Strangely enough Its membership runs from one extreme to another, including both the ultra-conservatives or reactionaries who believe in the absolute capitalistic domination of industry and those immoderate radicals who would destroy prac
tically all our existing social, economic and political institutions.

No. 302 The Pennies and the Glass Two pennies are balanced on the edge of a fflass, opposite each other (Fig. 1). The performer states that he can remove both' coins at once, with one hand only; in fact, with only the thumb and forefinger of his right hand. To do the trick, place the thumb on top of coin "A" and the forefinger on coin "B." Press on the outer edges of the coins and slide them down the sides of the tumbler (Fig. 2). Then draw the thumb and forefinger slowly together, pressing them against ttie glass all the time. When they have come together, the coins can easily be removed by the thumb and forefinger. The left hand can be used to steady the glass during the operation. Cop-jrieht, 19it. bv Public Ledger Company

An enraged New Jersey commuter sent the local newspaper an open letter to the railroad company on the occasion of one of its trains being delayed. In the course of his complaint he cited the fact that "the train was one hour and ahalf late, although it left on time; the track was clear, the equipment was apparently In good order, and it was a down grade to New York." The station agent clipped the communication from the newspaper and pasted it on the bulletin board with this addition: "And the wind was west." New York Evening Poet.

FINANCIAL NOTE Mr. Jacob Jacowitz, one of our gifted
contemporaries, has mentioned to us
that the gold-back twenties are return
ing to circulation. This little matter had escaped us, bein' as how we have never yet succeeded in drawing two
weeks' salary at once.
We often wonder what kind of an
ambassador our old friend H. L.
Mencken would make. Inasmuch as
he has the sometimes unhappy faculty of telling the truth, he might not be
so good. George Harvey got into a peck of trouble when he first went
over there by telling the truth. This
is something a diplomat should not do
We do not mean to say that he should lie, but when it comes to telling the
truth about any subject the real di plomat should change the subject.
Mencken who is now over there, nev
er takes the trouble to change the sub
ject. He believes it is easier to say
what he thinks than to hunt around for
some insane subject about which he can equivocate. When our cousins
heard that Macken was coming over to
see them they arranged to have a very good time indeed, and Mencken is not
disappointing tnem. He is giving a good performance and, not being in any official capacity at all, he can go
as far as he likes.
"America is rotten with money," he said as soon as he landed. We don't know of anything he could have said
which would have thrilled his Euro
pean hearers much more. The men
tion of money gets under the European
skin quicker than any other form of
persiflage. Making this crack imme
diately upon arriving, Mencken was
sure to be treated with respect during his entire visit. No, we don't know
what kind of an ambassador our cele
brated literary prophet would make, but the English will find that he is.
probably the most interesting caller
from this side that they have enter
tained in some time.
If he does not pay his respect to the
Europeans just before he takes the
boat for home we shall be much sur
prised.
Between these two extremes the membership of this element is recruited from the fighting men capital engaged in the management of industry, from the ranks of the employers, large and small, who have always been restive under the compulsion of dealing with the unions and union leaders, and from the public group that suffers inconvenience or loss as a result of the ever-reoccurring conflicts between capital and labor. The ultra-conservatives of capital say that the hope of civilization lies in the perpetuation of the existing order of things, and that this means that the growing power of unions and unionism must be crushed, at least to the extent of making it impossible for any
combination of workers to grow so
strong as to be able to interfere with capital's absolute domination of industry. 1 The fighting men in management
are even more jealous of the rights of capital than capital itself. Moreover,
they have a personal, interest in mak
ing good in their executive positions
and instinctively they resent and re
sist any attempt on the part of labor
to assert a voice in the control of in dustry. The employers who have al
ways been restive under the compul
sion of dealing with unions believe
that the man who has a job to give has
tne right to fix the wage and condi
tions of the work, and labor can take it
or leave it, as their saying goes. Their dealing with unions has always been a
matter of concession, rather than co
operation, and it is human nature not
to want to make concessions.' Public Sentiment . Is Adverse.
Tht public factor in the militant
school is made up of people who do not inquire into the causes of strikes
or seek to ascertain which side is rischt.
tney are opposed to strikes because sooner or later such industrial up
neavals interfere with business and
make living conditions harder or more expensive. As they see it, we have
strikes because we have unions. They
argue that to compromise or settle strikes means merely to invite more disturbances of similar character, and they conclude that the war between capital and labor necessarily will continue until one side or the other is
whipped to a standstill. Hence they
say the time has come to fight it out
to a finish.
Lawless demonstrations destructive of life and property which almost invariably feature big strikes have unquestionably had much to do with creating a public sentiment adverse to the unions. The fact that the unions and most union leadtrs are opposed to violence does not offset in the public mind the fact that the

strikes are made the occasions for offenses against law and order, and, the average good citizen's idea of the way
to deal with such lawlessness Is to
stamp it out, room and branch. And
many such a man has been betrayed
by his righteous indignation into making declarations fully as incendiary and subversive of law and order as
those things of which he complains.
The radicals or "reds are militant
because that is their creed. They seek
to overturn existing forms of govern
ment and social organization and they know no better way of bringing this
about than through a finish fight be
tween capital and labor. They are the ones who commit or incite and are re
sponsible for practically all the law
lessness that is so inexcusable and so
disasterous to the cause of labor.
Those Who Would
Stop Fightng.
The other school of thought those
who would end the Industrial conflict
by involving ways and means of settling differences without fighting
mem out to a finish includes stu
dents of the problem of industrial re
lations, employers who view the re
lation of capital and labor in the light of a partnership, and government of
ficials who have tackled the iob of
protecting the public against the evil
consequences of strikes. They are all pacifists, although not in the sense In
which that word was made a term of
opprobrium during the World war.
ineodore Roosevelt was one of this school when he ended the great anthracite coal strike in 1902 because he
compelled the miners and operators to stop fighting and then presented a plan for working out a peace that
continued lor almost 20 years. President Harding and Secretary Hoover and others of his associates have indentified themselves with this school by the eforts they have made within recent weeks to stop the costly warfare in the coal and transportation industries. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., the late H. B. Endicott and Henry Ford have been conspicious among the great employers of labor who have acted upon the theory that the way to end the industrial war is to make it unnecessary and undesirable. Lord Leverhulme, perhaps the largest employer of labor in the British empire is another such. None of them or of their kind has ever advocated "fighting it out." Students of the industrial problem point out that the war with Germany and the Central powers -was fought to a finish, with a result that has not as yet proved altogether happv. Ultimately the world may be all the better for this demonstration of the'militant idea, but that remains in ho soon
Russia is also cited as an example of
wuai. ii may mean to light it out. In the light of history as it has heen
record during the last century and
a nan in me united States it is unt
to be expected that either the militant or the pacifist idea will completely
dominate in dealing with the strike problem. There will be a comDromiae.
There will be enough of fighting to
uemonsiraie mat it would be a bad
thing for society in general for either
side to emerge from the conflict a com
plete victor. Perhaps there- haa been
that much already. On the other hand, It -will he shown that it would not be for the general good to work out a peace that involves the complete surrender of either side. After all, capital and labor must live and work together if industry and civilization are to go forward, and this is not possible if one is to be subordinated entirely to the other as a result, either of war to the bitter end or oE an injudicious peace. One real danger in the present sit-1 uation, as leaders of affairs in Wash i ington view it, is that the general public wDI cease to he concerned about the industrial problem as soon as the immediately disturbing conflicts are over. In that event little or nothing will be done to prevent a recurrence of such troubles or toward working out a permanent solution of the problem, for such steps are taken only in response to an insistent, overwhelming public sentiment.
