Abe Martin iifrrr " nt-wtiTyrrn-iA 1 1 Wh.ierriEMoort It is possible to bo too hard on lobbyists. A lobbyist would be a washout without a listener. ' The campaign to wake the head of the house Christmas v conscious has already been launched in most homes. ' A man in Holland has invented a doorbell that doesn't ring until a penny is put in a slot. That Man is a genius but the ; invention will.be tough on small boys. ' A new fruit, said to be 30 inches long and shaped like a , pear, has been discovered by explorers in the wilderness of ; Yucatan. This would be served, we imagine, like a grape- fruit, not like cherries. THE "OVERPRODUCTION" MYTH Those who are not in accord with the president's "confi- dence" construction program make the criticism that the . remedy proposed in the interest of saving business from real i reaction is a dose of what it is suffering from). In short, the view-' they hold is that overproduction cannot ibe cured ; by moreTjioduction. :. , . . ; On first thought this opinion seems to moot the situation ; neatly and to be based on sound logic. An'd yet it fails to take into account various important phases of the question. ? Take the case of building construction, for instance. It ? can scarcely be questioned that surplus of housing now exists. Ponsidering housing accomodations as a whole, however, who I will say that there is a surplus of modern shelter while there fire still unsanitary tenements and ramshackle homes, flimsy j factories and other out-of-date edificies:- Apply such a test hnd there is no surplus of.good housing there is a definite I shortage. In no industry that comes to mind is there such i discrepancy between the best and the worst. A variation so wide must sooner or later be reduced. i ; Should the new operations be carried along on a scale at i all commensurate with the potential task, little indeed would i be heard of overproduction in any line now afflicted with the I problem. Building workers would supply the dcnfcmd for all present surpluses. Purchasing power would grow and business expand. ) It ,must also be remembered that the president's program contemplates public works along with other forms of con f struction: And the total indicates that 19:50 will be one (. 5 the biggest business years on record. I SPEECH AS A SAFETY VALVE ? Although bristling with practical difficulties, the question ; of free speech is one concerning which the cilinen must have j well-defined opinions. Hooks by the hundred and platform j utterances by the thousand cover the subject theoretically. The rub comys in its everyday application. f ; History as well as common sense leaches the simple lesson i that severe repression often proves its own undoing. Impeach j as we may the motives or character of the adventurous spirits j responsible for the French and Russian revolutions, yet there j is more than a suspicion that their bloody and tyrannous ; strangle holds came about partly because of preceding rer ! gimes of suppression as well as corruption. One extreme ; leads to another; if the pendulum swings loo far one way, it does not come to rest until it has gone to the opposite j extreme. I I'lest is the country in which the natural steam, of youth is allowed to escape through a million harmless and un- noticed vents, rather than being spent up for an inevitable eruption. There is no sadder spectacle than the niiddliwujed alumus who suddenly becomes shocked because a snull group jof sophomores or juniors in his dear old alniu mater have decided to form a club of purple souls, or socialists, or what have you. !: People who favor unbounded freedom of speech and those t who are thinking chiefly of the danger of destructive propa ganda, both overlook the fact that these matters are pretty ; veil governed by definite law. Usually it is better to let the pink say his speech without protest, and then hold him re ' sponsible for what he says under the law as it exists. j After all, a sound citizenship must be exposed now and men to more or less silly extravagances of ideas. For the moot part people recognize buncomb when they hear or read it. It evaporates when it strikes the air, and the citizen, j half amused and half indifferent, pauses for only a fraction of a minute, and goes about his own affairs.
