THE DfllüŸ C J. REAS, MANAMNO ASH LA ND D A IL Y T ID IN G S William Feather, writing in Nation’s Business magazine, takes issue with those' who scorn onr modern civilization and yean» for a return of the good old days of onr greatgrandfathers. He says: I am working in the loving room of fny home, pounding a portable typewriter. I look around and this is what I see: Light provided by a lamp in which burned two incandescent bulbs. In an adjoining room a telephone from which I can talk to smy city on this North .American con tinent. * Oh the wall is a thermostat which rcguhttes the flow of gas in my furnace, and keeps the room at an even temperature of 70 degrees. A music cabinet containing Records of the finest aria« from the best operas, trad selections by the greatest musicians in the world. • For a few cents a. day J have dellv home the news from the four corners Of world. This news as printed in the daily paper is for me in the weeklies and mouthhes, al are delivered to my very door by the postman The floors of my home are cleaned with a sue tion sweeper, while the clothes ate ptti through an electric washer and ironed in an electrically driven washer. My children attend a school where they are given a better education than the sone o f kings could command a century ago. I go to work in an automobile, and I travel a distance in three-quarters of an hour which would have been an all-day trip for my father, a generation I enjoy all these things, and yet I am just an ordinary citizen with an ordinary income, living in an ordinary way. Tens of thousands have just as much as I—and more. — Mississippi Valley Reconstruction ▼alley will find « » if hardships¡partly atoned in the reconstruction that will come. This ha» always been the cage in similar misfortunes. Instead of the voice of one city or one community, it will be the reassur ance of a great, fertile territory destined to continue its agricultural prosperity. The government of the United States lias no greater burden jn the coming years than to combine its finaociat resources and engineering skill to pre vent floods, which carry in their wake fftUrine and destruction. The plea of the people in the delta country win be joined by those in the valleys of the Colorado, Ohio, Missouri, Arkansas, and wherever .floods occur as potential menace to life and prop erty. The “ bright side of disaster” is rehabilitation on a sounder basis than before. The first mark of progress is protection from the elements, and safety measures thru mechanical and artificial means. After that can come the uninterrupted flow of commerce, education, the arts, social progress and a higher civilization. Until then the people in flood districts are at the mercy of uncontrolled waters. What w© need worse than laws to prohibit men from carrying guns is education to make our young sters never need to. The same holds for accusations against the press for printing crime news: What We need is less crime news to print. Likewise with divoree: not harder-methods of getting it, but fewer reasons for wanting it. You can go on down the line of human aspirations with the same Reasoning. Education deals with cause; legislation copes with effect. Education is preventive, and cheap at any price; legislation is corrective, and expensive any This is a free country, btff If ton refuse to ans wer a question asked you by the United States Sen ators they charge you with contertpi; and if jmi ask a Senator for something' he looks ujwà you with Contempt. Communism, a*g a theory the sharing of equftl portions by all, is blamed for most of fhe world’s ievolntions; but strangely, the lack of it causes most of • fhe divorce«, z -.
