TURNING T H E OLD GANG OUT
Now and then we h ea r som eone say th at they are not
going Io vote for anyone now holding oftiee. T hey want a
ch an g e reg ardless of w hat hap|*ens. This is voting by
em otion ra th e r th an reason, anti is th e w orst thing th at can
happen to dem ocracy which dejK'nds upon its success
th ro u g h th e average high intelligence of th e voters.
Any new m an going into public office m ust be educated
to th e d u ties of th a t office and learn how to perform the
work. It co sts the governm ent m uch m oney to teac h new
office holders every y ear and no new m an can do th e job
as well as th e present holder, a t least for aw hile, unless th at
officer is very Incom petent.
A ch an g e m ay be very desirable in som e offices for the
public good but it is not only un reaso n ab le to say th a t every
m an in office is unw orthy, it is dow nright silly, and reflects
on th e intelligence of th e person saying it. C hanges are
not alw ays for the good. We can point to m any m en who
have been tu rn ed out of public office and been replaced
with less capable persons at the public expense.
A new m an coining up for office should have positive
qualifications to fill th e place. It is not en o u g h t to be as
good as th e m an now holding th e office but he should be
b etter. If he is not an im provem ent on w hat we now have,
we m ight as well wait until som eone w ho is com es along
and save the expense of edu catin g tw o m en fo r a job before
we get th e qualifications desired. If a v o ter will use the
sam e care and th o u g h t in electing persons to office th a t he
would use in em ploying help for him self th e n he m ight be
said to be exercising his best intelligence.

AIR TRAVEL GETTING SAFER
We saw a report th e o th e r day on the aviation industry,
which indicates th a t th e building and o peration of a irc ra ft
has suffered less from th e in d u strial depression th a n any
o th e r line of business. More people are flying, m ore young
people a re grow ing up air-m inded, airp la n es a re g ettin g
b etter, sa fe r and sw ifter, and it seem s a p re tty safe thing
to predict th a t by th e tim e th e children of today a re grow n
up a ir travel will be as com m onplace to th em a s autom obile
travel is to th e grow nups of now.
We h av en ’t th e figures, hu t we im agine th a t in propor
tion to th e nu m b er of people w ho trav el by air th ere are
no m ore fa ta l ac cid en ts th a n th e re a re am o n g m otorists.
C om m ercial aviation is g ettin g sa fe r because safety is the
first co n sid eration of th e designers of com m ercial airc ra ft.
Only a few y ea rs ago m ost of th e planes in th e a ir were
left-overs from th e w ar period. S afety is no t th e first con
sid eratio n in m ilitary airp lan es: speed and m aneuverability
a re th e prim e requisites there. Arm y and navy fliers have
to tak e enorm ously g re a te r risks th a n p assen g ers in com
m ercial airp lanes should ever be called upon to take. And
in fo u rteen years of peace the world h a s learned m uch
m ore about m aking a ir trav el safe th a n it had learned in the
nine y ears betw een th e first flights and th e en try of the
United S ta te s into th e w ar.
FISHING AND BUSINESS
F ish in g and business are a good deal th e sam e. And by
th a t we do not necessarily m ean they have bo th gone to th e
sam e place, w here th e te m p e ra tu re is very w arm .
We h ave w atched tw o m en fish from the sam e stream .
One would have a b asketful in a sh o rt while an d th e o th er
would have none. Yet th e y both have th e ir hooks in the
sam e w ater. One brings fo rth fish while th e o th e r ca tc h es
nothing. So it is w ith business an d society. Som e m en
labor to build up riches while o th ers ac cu m u late nothing.
Yet they are doing business w ith th e sam e people or w ork
ing at th e sam e job.
A m an m ay c a tc h fish because of th e w ay he b aits his
hook, m ak es a cast or holds his m outh o r by som e o th e r
m ethod n o t readily a p p a re n t to the laym en but easily u n d er
stood by th e good fisherm an. Som e m en achieve success
at th e sam e gam e in w hich o th ers fall, o ften by som e sm all
difference in m ethods used.
No m an ever c a u g h t fish by blam ing the successful
fish erm an o r bv dam ning th e scarcity of fish. So it is in life.

VOTING AND PR O SPER ITY
No n ation ever legislated itself rich — and it is not likely
we can expect to vote ourselves b ack to prosperity. How
ever, we m ay be able to ch an g e th e ru les of society so as to
he m ore w orkable. But th en it will be n ecessary for us to
go to w ork with m ore determ in atio n for only by work can
we be prosperous. And by work we m ean service to our
fellow m en— physical and m ental en erg y expended in the
rig h t direction.
T hose politicians who talk public w ork to help th e u n
em ployed in one b re ath and lower tuxes in a n o th e r are not
to be tak en seriously. Anyone know s th a t th ese tw o pro
positions are directly opposed. S tric t econom y in govern
m ent is one thing to be sought bu t m uch public w ork a t
th is tim e can not help but increase taxes.
