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
