Insull in Athens
HISTORY has given us the picture of Napoleon Bonaparte
standing on the rock of St. Helena, his hands clasped
behind his back, gazing out upon a vacant, silent sea : "mighty
sonambulist of a vanished dream". Napoleon, who had made
and unmade emperors, the nod of whose head had extended
' o denied favor, at whose word nations had leaped to arms,
had become a spent force. His throne was gone, his king
" dom had been wrested fromjiis hands, the magic spell which
;: his name had cast over Europe for two decades was broken.
v Not only was Napoleon crushed, the Napoleonlsm, Caesarisra
halt received its deathwound. True, Kaiser Wilhelm attempt
ed its revival's century later; but the effort failed, sealing
forever, the world hopes, the individual lust for power based
upon armed conquest.
Napoleon at St. Helena finds a counterpart in Samuel
Insull who wanders in self-imposed exile in the distant and
alien city of Athens. Even as Napoleon had sought and at
tained power by force of arms, so Samuel Insull had wrought
success in the field of modern imperialism: business and fi
. nance; and like Napoleon he overreached' himself and the
castle of his dreams fell in dust about him.
Hee is a man whose name held thousands in its spell,
. who had waved a magic wand and conjured wealth in regal
manner, who had nominated politics of a great city and state,
had extended the domain of his power empire Until it cov
ered a vast section of the nation. It was Insull who defended
almost as divinely ordained the organization popularly known
as the power trust, who initiated the campaign of propaganda
designed to anesthetize the public Electricity, gas, transpor
tation, these were the fields in which' his genius for organ
ization flowered. Insull was patron of the arts, and many
shared the bounty of his hand. .
In a sense Insull was caught in the maelstrom of econ-
- omic. forces. When the upsurge came he was in the van. His
past success apparently deluded him; he saw no limit to his
power. The higher the bid in the game he played, the higher
the stakes he posted. When the crash came he was still un-
daunt d and sought wider fields for conquest. When the
swirling current of business reversals grew swifter Insull in
desperation made false moves as have many in similar pre-
: dicaments. Now the heavy hand of the law reaches out to
bring him back for trial like a common felon.
There is nothing much that may happen to Insull now.
t We fancy that it matters little, save to his pride, whether
- he lives in Athens or in Joliet. He is broken. And with him
and Ivar Kreuger and men of such type may we say that
V the epoch of Caesarism in business has come to an end?
y As though the scales had fallen from our eyes we may
now see how we have worshipped big business men just as
- the benighted peoples of past centuries venerated their mili-
tary heroes. Harold J. Laski put it well in an article in the
October "Foreign Affairs":
"The successful business man became the representative
type of civilization. He subdued all the complex ot social
institutions to his purposes. Finance, coal, oil, steel became
empires of -which the sovereignty was unchallenged as that
of Macedon or Rome."
This distortion of values was peculiarly the disease of
Americans. We-scoffed at excellence in the arts and prof es
sions. Education was chained to the chariot of commerce.
" Religion was made innocuous through the bounty of the
wealthy. The administration of government was dominated
by the idea of fostering business. The motive of acquisitive
ness here energized the whole people, and resulted in exploi
tation of domestic resources both natural and human.
The problem of the day therefore is not one merely to
restore a condition which, existed in 1929, but to stabilize a
: condition of wholesome well-being of the whole population,
. in which there may be a healthy balance of, material pros
' perity, intellectual interests and moral idealism. This, it may
; be said in passing, is not a mere matter of politics, of voting
, for one group or another. It is part of the "Zeitgeist", the
- spirit of the age, which is determined by all the mingled
forces which go to make up the general culture of an epoch.
. A Sober Question
HARD TIMES have made the people irritated. They voice
their discontent on any and all occasions. In recent
elections they have .vented their feelings by swatting the
"ins". There is danger that they will similarly express them
. selves against President Hoover.
Suppose Gov: Roosevelt is chosen president. Between No-
. vember and March there will be a period of grave uncertainty.
congress would be called in extra session after March 4th.
It will immediately become a forum of discontent in which
" radical and unsound measures of the most extreme kind will
. " be launched. With such men as Huey Long, Burton Wheeler,
- C. C. Dill posing as spokesmen of the administration legisla
tion almost of revolutionary character may be aeitated.
When a patient is convalescing it is a poor time to change
medicine and to change doctors. Assuredly American business
1 . is in no shape to suffer experimental major operations of the
kind that Huey Long will propose. Recent recessions in busi
ness give support to the thought that it is fear of Roosevelt
success which is causing nresent unsettlement.
We do not believe that Roosevelt haa anv rlpsir tn im'nro

Within a short time ria-id meas

under the supervision ot the official
authorities. Ia this way the dis

With -purification of the water
supply and general pasteurization

Some people might be reasoned

that there was only one bridge up
on which they might come together.
Stone was crouching, swinging

It is possible that literature of

why don't we have them? To un
derstand this properjy we must bo

Blue mountains, - branching off
from the Cascades, or rather tak
ing rise near th Cascades, nearly
opposite the Klamath lake coua-

to Snake river near the mouth of
Clearwater. Nearly all the coun
try north and west of this range,
between it and the Cascades, and
north to the SImcoo mountains. Is
low and sandy, covered in the
most part with grass. But what
say you, has this to do with the
warmth of this climate? It has a
great deal to do with it; for you
must rememoer that It Is over
this plan that we have our pre

This vast plain of sandy soil and
sua aeserts is kept warm by the
almost continual presence of the
sun, -and th short duration of
cloudy "weather la not sufficient
to allow the earth to became en
tirely chilled, and consequently
when we hav a breeze from over
these plains it is warm and melts
everything before it. Such a wind
would melt by . warmth, not by
force, two feet of snow on th.
tops of the Blue mountains in 24
noura. now it is a universal thing
nere wnen ue snow goes off by
wind, which Is usually the case,
that, on th Blue mountains, from
th height ot 1500 or 2000 feet
upwards, tho snow, althourh
much deeper, always disappears
first, and leaves the hill looking
brown and rrassr. while th i.
ley is yet whit with snow: and
it is frequently two or thre days
before th wind reaches th val
ley with its warming influences.
This phenomenon Is very common
and contrary to the ml anywher
I ever heard from before, and can
only be accounted for on" th
grounds above given. A. B. R.
