Race hate | and hereditary" bitterness perpetu- | ates itself from gemeration to gener- | ation You may as well ask why in ithe United States they have a negro | | auestion, which in its most violent { forms permits Kiu Klux Klans, | tynehing in South Carolina and -a | thousand other evidences of the im- | possibility of even mutual respect. {You may as well ask why the [ Southern Irish people will continue { to hate Britain end all things British In epite of the altogether generous expiation of an enclent grudge. You may as well ask why a Bobse-step anywhere in the world guttural tone and a Hun hymn of hate, or why the Armeniam will be forever the implacable foe of the Turk. Even in Canada it has not al- ways been easy to keep in leash the two great races of this country at one another's throats. H. G. Wells thinks that the trou- ble has been primarfly with the poll- ticians, He sees life naturally as a | lovely, enjoyable and attractive | thing, out of which the politiclan or the erstwhile etatosmen is always taking the joy, by his too compli- cated manipulation and interference. He tells us that they are always get- | ting hold of the wrong end of things, and 'the only rational basis for pacifism 1s to get hold of the right end. We agree with this laudable desire, But no one seems to be able to tol] us just what the right end is. it is generally agreed that we must find an opportunity for the de- | velopment of collective life "that is | interesting, that has flavor and savor," but we are mot sure that Mr. Wells and bis coterte are on the right track. They inform us that the first thing 6s to see public af- faire and the administration of them exactly ag they are. We must see them and we must have a corre- sponding ' feeling towards them. | Very good--but when we look at the {sorry mess the politicians have | made, their bribery, corruption, { hicanery and all the rest of the unpleasant phrases; | when we pause to take breath before beginning with fresh op-~ probrium and invective, may we not ask ourselves if they are not quite as good es those they represent and are they not even a shade better than the.average of the world? The malady really lie deeper, It is not merely the trouble of ill-regu- lated power; it is the malady of man's netuve, it harks back to "na- ture red in tooth and claw." The only way to get the poison gas out of peace fs to apply the anti- dots of good will and brotherly love. We shall not have it among the na- tions until we have it in the small centres of any given mation. For example, we need not hope for it in Ottawa if we cannot find it in Kings- toh. Amd if mot in Kingston and Ot- tawa then not in Canada; and if not in Canada in her multitudinous in- ter-relations at home, then mot be- tween Oanada and the rest of the Empire; and if not there, pot any- where else in the world, It comes back ultimately to the in- dividual. The first essentdal is that no preacher, politictan, editor or pro- lessor will be tolerated who evicts podson gas to his own constituency, It bars the way at the outset to ap- Deals fo prejudice and race hate in the minds of those who form public opinion. For this, it requires a change of heart, 'a sound mind, an unusually sane judgment and a vital conviction that peace and good will are ideals which can only grow ina fevtile eof); nurtuped by the clean, wholesome amd worthy Christian graces of those who are leaders of corporate thought end action. WHAT NEXT? A problem of the near future on which economists are speculating concerns employment of capital, which they foresee will be abundant. All the familar avenues of invest. rment. will be open, | they will not absorb the billions lars their owners will want to put to work we are told. The people are eager for something new, something to buy to increase thetr satisfactions, even though it make a greatly increased ' | drain on their pocketbooks. This lat- ter factor will be taken care of auto- matically npless there is to be a rev- ersal of and that is not ikely. It there is a want, it will be supplied. The puzzle is as to the na- ture of the new thing and who will discover or invent it. struggling in his cradle at this mom- ent to get a great toe into his mouth, may produce the epoch-making de- vice, Most likely #t will be evolved ae one or more who now are budd- suggests a | those blatant forces which would set | |Jars to invest. A Jot of ethers will {not get the profits; no matter, the | world will be served. So it behooves {the youth of this country to seek | carefully for the chance to introduce | that for whieh the people wait and {for all to be alert to "get in on" the | good thing. Some of the things which we night | have got along without, but could | not give up now that we have them, {are eutomobiles, talking machines, { motion pictures, telephones and' the | radio, to mention but a few that not lao long ago were new and wonderful {and have since become commonplabe. | Thay all absorbed stupendous sums | ot capital, and save perhaps the ra- |dio, which is newest among them, | have returned huge profits. Each one | furnished the excuse for or ocompelt- { ed the increasing of personal exper- | ses; yet everybody hes been made richer by them. What next? Capital {and the people, ever progressive, | went to know. WHY FORD GOT RICH. Newspaper advertising made Henry Ford--who was almost penni- less twenty years ago--dhe richest man in the wonld to-day, Ford made the minimum pay of his workers $5 a day when other in- dustries were paying $2. It didn't cost Ford a dollar, because the high- er wages attracted the best labor in the country end the output of his factories was trebled. But the space the newspapers gave him was wonth millions, Ford spent a million dollars send- ing a "peace ehip" to Europe when Peace appeared fartherest off. Some people said he was "crazy", but the space that newspapers gave the stunt Was worth ten times what it cost. Ford bought a little country weelk- ly, started an anti-Jew crusade and got everybody telking about the Dearborn Independent--eapacially the Jews. If he lost a millon dollars in the vemture, the advertising was worth many times that amount. Ford nmkes an offer to the Unit- ed Staies government for the Mus- cle Shoals yroject, and ¢he newspap- ers of the country give him thousands of columns of epace. If he were to 1088 every dollar ho sinks into Muse cle Shoals, the pubMcity he has al- ready received through it would be more than worth it It does not 'just happen" that Henry Ford sells as many automo- bles as several fndred other auto- mobile makers combined. He is able to sell 100,000 cars a month when other &utomobile factories are closed or running 25 per cemt of capacity because he ds the best advertised man in the world. Should we say the newspapers that gave him this ad- vertising, for which they recetved no- pay, are gullible? Tor the Tatest news about Ford, see our news columns, FACTORS IN DEPRESSION, To many persons the present busi- ness depression fs infinitely more enfgmetical than it really ought to be. There are causes for it, some of them quite aimple to the analytical mind of the business expert, It is obvious that the great world disturbance due to thd war is a pri- mary and continuing ' cause of the present condition. From this stem sprout off many factors which play @ pant in holding back the business awakening so earnestly sought by ev- ery one of its many victims, Entering into to-day's troubles are low productivity, the thigh cost of manufacturing, inefficient distribu- tion and #ts high cost, the infinite variety of products, sluggish men- agement of industry and poor finance and credit management. Any one of these constitutes a difficult barrier for business t0 hurdle, While industrial production is higher than some ¢ime ago, it is still below normal. The individual fs pro- ducing less, That in turn increases costs and decreases sales. An Tneffi- clent system of distribution is a cro- nic sore on the body ecomomie. The world has learned pretty well the épt of economic production and cen- sumption. Here in normal times these elements in the economic tri- angle have attained high efficiency and low oost, but the element of the distribution of products to the point desired by the consumers remains costly, wasteful and inefficient, In the present era of high freight rates, "transportation charges are higher than the cost of production and manufacture, Until some of these troubles are eliminated, business will continue to wuffer. Happily the case is mot one fo puzsle the expert diag- business doctors can begin removing them. It fs the consciousness of what's wrong that reduces the busi- ness gloom, | is] ; ih til § itd ------ ee ---------- -- BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY DO GOOD TO ALL MEN: ~--Let us mot be weary In well doing: for in due season we {shall reap, if we faint not, As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especial- ly unto them who are of the house- hold of faith --Galatians 6: 9, 10. 'Was sometimes pink, and sometimes green or yellow; what e'er its hue, one good long drink would paralyze a fellow, Home brewers wearied of their graft when it was fairly start- ed, and from their basements quite a raft of brewing junk was carted. And now there's no demand for hops, except for proper uses, no pa- trons buy them in the shops to make illicit juices. Thus one great sport has petered out, for it was vain and hollow, and soon or late, no man can doubt, all kindred sports will follow. Just now smart alecks think it cute to knock the law to pieces, and buy punk gin from some | galoot who packs it In valises. -But when they see their neighbors die from drinking poisoned whiskey, they'll think it better to €0 dry and be alive and frisky. The ghost of Barleycorn will wend around us for a season, but all the lawlessness will end as people think and reason. ~--WALT MASON. | every 'BY sam HILL | ALONG LIFE'S DETOUR No Snow Shovels Needed Then, I love the beautiful pure snow That's glistennig white in glade-- Of it I slways sing--you're right-- When it's one hundred in the shade, Observations of Oldest Inhabitant, I kin remember when the ladles wore woolen leggings, or tights, in winter to keep thelr lower limbs warm.
