'Teachings of LaSalle and Marx Therefore
Take No Hold on Americans."
By DR. CHARLES W. ELIOT, Harvard University.
to-' (
The Pilgrim expedition in search of religious
liberty was organized as a commercial stock company.
Most of the shares were taken by British men of busi
ness who invested in it money only, and were properly
called the; Adventurers; but 'every man that "went,"
that is, encountered the hardships and risks of the
erHernrisi' Imd si share of the stock lvalue 10 as-
V ' f, T" signed to him without payment of money, and an ad
ditional share fort his wife and for each child over
sixteen years of age. This method of organizing a
stock company remains to this day highly suggestive.
Those who "went" were called the Planters. They ultimately bought out
all the Adventurers. The company was to feed, clothe and build shelters
for all the Planters, and was to be entitled to the proceeds of their labor
during four days of every week, the product to go into the company's
Ftore. At the end of seven years the whole property of the company was
to be divided aino;ig the shareholders and the contract of the Planters
with tlif company was to terminate.
Jt took the Pilgrims only about a year and a half to learn that even
pjiccially selected men and women would not work as well for tins com
pany as I hey would fur their own families, even when the colony was
threatened with serious scarcity of food. A new allotment of land was
promptly made ami the product of work on that land went directly to
the family which provided the labor. Jt. was their private property.
The Pilgrims learned quickly, by their experience, that the doctrine
of "no private property" was impracticable, even in a community bound
together by religious convictions. To this day, people of American stock
believe heartily in private property, individual and family thrift and the
transmission of savings to descendants. The teachings of LaSalle and
Marx therefore take no hold on Americans.
Teach With Rubber Stamps.
"Stick tlie stamp on tlie upper right
hand side of tlie envelope," says the
French government to the people by
way nt the rubber stamp that cancels
the postage. Since It seems to be
rather a late date to be teaching the
public elementary rules in the use of
tlie mail, one decides that there must
be a new class writing letters. Can It
be composed entirely of friends of
the expeditionary forces American
Australian, Ilritish, Italian and In
dian? The use of the stamp In this fashion
exemplifies how characteristically ev
ery nation develops available oppor
tunities. Germany, before the war,
would have used it for a verboten sign.
Americans turn it into a money-mak-Ing
scheme, for liurleson, yielding to
the advice of publicity experts, allow
ed the cancellation stamp to carry ad
vertisements of Liberty loans,, the near
Kast relief and many other patriotic
and philanthropic causes. And now
the French write a message In accord
ance with the purest bureaucratic
tradition. Indianapolis News.

'We Find That ths Thin? That Mankind
Is Hungry for Is Illusion."
By W. L. GEORGE. Rritish Novelist.
Why 'o people read stories 1 Is there n fundamental story hunger
in people, or is the craving for n pood yarn an artificially stimulated taste?
I do not believe that the que.dion can be answered as simply as that. If
we get down to fundamentals wo find that the thing that mankind lum
pers for is illusion. We labor, and we do not like it, and so to console
ourselves we invent an illusion i bont the tmhility of labor. We want to
lie great, to be noti 1, to have stirring adventures, and because life ii
commonplace we invent the illusion of romance hence the storv-tclling
art.
If I should nmilv' tin- obi craving of "Tell me a story," I should 1
divide it into three primary illusions. First there is the illusion of the I
glorious, flight, beautiful world - the rocate world that one may see only I
Willi rifi-colori'd spectaclci. It is an e-mpe from tip world in which
plans do pot work t tit smoothly, nitimtiotis are not pat, ambitions are ;
frustrated. , J
Second, then' is the illusion of tlie world of adventure, in which
things ate happening thiik and fa-t, in which men ami women are lifted
out f their ruts into bti.'ht new paths if stimulation and achievement.
And, us this illusion works out in a story, the eoinmonphnv reader sees
himsilf in the pi s,m of the brawny and haiid-niue hero, ami, of course,
gallops gloiioiislv 111 roil cji all the adventures.
The third tvpc of illusion i the illusion of humor. It represents
the philo-'phv of the mall with H good ileal of ih rested rp ri.-mv, who,

At the start of the reconstruction
work in the devastated coal region
ahut Lens, France, the French were
taught by several disasters that tlie
retreating Germans, before ' flooding
the mines, had concealed along the
walls unnumbered "hooby traps." ac

quently, in order that the divers,
charged with preliminary inspections,
may "look before they leap," the gov
ernment recently purchased from Eng
land an interesting apparatus for sub
marine photography. Lowered down
the flooded shaft, this apparatus il
luminates a 10-foot zone; then, as
Switches are pressed at the mouth of
the shaft, it photographs simultane
ously each of the four walls.
Erection of a pulp mill to be operat
ed In connection with the lumber
plants of the Silver Falls Timber com
pany at Silverton was announced by
the management of the latter concern.
By-products of tlie sawmills of the Sil
verton company will be ground at the
pulp plant and shipped to the various
paper mills of the Pacific northwest
to be converted into the finished pro
duct. Oregon mines produced ore in 1319
of a total value of $1,514,255, accord
ing to a report made by the geological
survey. Gold was produced to a value
of ?977,845; silver, 111,121 ounces, and
copper, 2,214,815 pounds. Baker led
the counties, producing about 96 per
rent of the state's total mineral output.
