RHYTHM
Looking back, the record would
be something like this:
Unbounded optimism; "new era";
everything's going to be all right
Collapse; disillusionment
Fear.
Fear compels thought "The fear
of the Lord," says the Bible, "is the
beginning of wisdom." Until we
are thoroughly scared we do not
start to recover.
Congress was thoroughly scared
when it convened last December,
and it has been the most sensible
Congress in a long time. Business
has been thoroughly scared, and
more constructive business think
ing has been done than for many
years. Bankers have been thor
oughly scared, and we shall have a
sounder banking system.
The greatest impression that this
experience has made on me is a
fresh realization of the rhythm of
human existence. The race does
not move in a straight line forward
and up, much as we should like to
think so. It swings.
It swings too far to the left
bumps its nose, and swings back,
too far to the right In the course
of these great swings it edges for
ward. But most of us fail to sense the
rhythm. We are looking for a fix
edness, a finality which does not
exist. We do not realize that
change is the one unchanging fact
In the universe; that because a
situation is so today is the one sure
reason why it will not be so tomor
row. In these depression periods we
question everything. We probe
with doubts. We react And the
reaction is beneficent.
For twenty-five years we wor
shipped "scientific progress." Now
we wonder whether a lot of this so
called progress did not consist
merely of filling up the world and
speeding it up. We begin to won
der whether less things and more
thinking may not lead to the hap
pier life.
In education we have been devot
ed to the practical, to training men
and women to do things. We are
swinging back to the old fashioned
idea that education is an enrich
ment of the spirit and not a filling
of the brain.
In government we have multi
plied laws and bureaus and taxes.
Now the worm is turning. The tax
payer rebels; government must
simplify, deflate.
We had a great period of misdi
rected idealism, a passion for edu
cating everybody, "improving" ev
erything, enlightening the world.
Now we are beginning to suspect
that the older civilizations have
fully as much to teach us as we
have to teach them.
Action and reaction, ebb and flow,
trial and error, change this is the
rhythm of living. Out of our over
confidence, fear; out of our fear,
clearer vision, fresh hope. And out
of hope progress.

MARKHAM
I went to Carnegie Hall the oth
er night to the celebration of the
eightieth birthday of Edwin Mark
ham, the poet. A spry little old
man with white whiskers, he was
as vivacious as a schoolboy, as he
read some of his own verses from
the platform,
Markham's most famous poem is
"The Man with the Hoe." I believe
that poem has done more harm, in
implanting a false social theory in
the minds of impressionable youth,
than anything that has been writ
ten In our time. For this poem is
based upon the theory that the toil
er in the fields is unintelligent be
cause he has been forced by the
more fortunate part of society to
be a toiler. Everybody who works
with his hands, according to the
Markham theory, is a victim of cap
italistic oppression, whereas the
records of humanity from the be
gininng of time prove that intelli
gence has always lifted its posses
sors out of the ranks of toilers, as
it lifted Lincoln,
SHORTHAND
If I had a son with intelligence
enough to take advantage of oppor
tunities, I would see1 to it that he
became an expert stenographer
while still a boy, whatever else he
might study.
I was reminded of this field of op
portunity the other day when I sat
on a platform in New York where
"Al" Smith and Mayor "Jimmy"
Walker were the principal speak
ers, and George B. Cortelyou was
chairman of the local centennial
celebration In Union Square. Geo.
Cortelyou started life as a stenog
rapher. He was a young man of
unusual intelligence. Mr. Cleve
land wanted another stenographer
at the White House and young Cor
telyou was sent to him. He was
promoted to executive clerk by Mr.
Cleveland, then President McKin
ley made him first assistant secre
tary, and then secretary, and Pres
ident Roosevelt continued him as
his secretary. When the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor was
created, George Cortelyou was the
first man to hold a cabinet posi
tion as Its head. Then he was Postmaster-General,
Secretary of the
Two,,, n rH f!hAirmn.n of the Re
publican National committee. And
for the last twenty-mree years ne
has been president of the Consoli
dated Gas companies of New York,
and one of the city's most influen
tial and respected citizens.
AnH he is onlv one of many suc
cessful men I know who started
life as stenographers.
JOBS
The "War Against Depression"
campaign, backed by the American
Legion, the Federation of Labor
,i Mm AannHatlon of National Ad
vertisers, has got more than half
way toward Its goal, inese ener
started out in Febru
ary to put a million men back at
work. They nave aireaay iouiiu
jobs for over half a million.
Another thing that they've found,
,m,.v. a ennd manv wise people ex
pected they would find, Is that there
hps nhnnt as many men out of work
who don't want Jobs as there are
who really need tnem. we ar
learning for the first time the true
extent of America's leisure class.
New York Central started twenty
hour trains on the same day. I went
out on the first Pennsylvania train
and came back on the New York
Central's new speeder, as a news
paper reporter.
Later, the running time between
these two cities was cut to eighteen
hours, but the twenty-hour sched
ule was restored during the war.
Now they have got it shortened
again, and the other day I saw the
start of the new eighteen-hour train
out of the Pennsylvania Terminal
in New York.
I think, and I found' some rail
road officials who agreed with me,
that one of the next big things af-.
ter we get back to normal econom
ic conditions will be such an im
provement in road beds, rolling
stock and motor power that a 15
hour schedule between New York
and Chicago will be possible. Many
trains on short stretches of perfect
track now go at ninety miles an
hour. It is only a matter of money
to maintain such a schedule for the
990 miles than separate Lake Mich
igan and the Atlantic.

milk are having the blues. They
are only getting about three cents
a quart now, which is less than it
costs to produce the milk.
The explanation is that dairying
has been, in many regions, the most
profitable farm operation for the
past few years, so everybody is go
ing into it and there are too many
dairy cows. Farmers who depend
on dairy products alone are finding
themselves in the same position as
those who depend on wheat, or cot
ton, or tobacco alone. The only far
mers I know who are not in trou
ble are the ones who grow a little
of this and a little of that, who
keep a few cows, a few pigs, a small
flock of hens, a small orchard and
a small berry patch, and approach
the agricultural problem from the
point of view that the first thing
they must get off the farm is their
own living, and then if they can
get any cash for their surplus they
are that much ahead.
There are exceptions, of course,
but they are mostly, so far as I
know anything about them, farm
ers who haven't had to borrow mon
ey on their land or their livestock
and so don't have any interest to
pay.

So universally popular is Miss
Lethe Coleman on the Chautauqua
nlntfnrm that the management of
the Associated Chautauqua Com
pany, America s largest Chautau
qua institution, is repeating Miss
Coleman over the circuit this year.
Miss Coleman has the reputation
of being the best looking, smart
oat, drpsspd. and most personally
attractive woman speaker on the
popular platform in America, fene
is a university graduate and in
.tructor who has taken up plat
form speaking in response to de
mands from her friends in all
parts of the United States and
Canada. So insistent have the
calls become that she has left al'.
other work to devote her time co
this.
For the coming season she has
prepared a new address on "Cour
age," which sounds an optimistic
note to the men and women, boys
and girls, who have been buffeted
about by the financial difficulties
of the past two or three years.
In the address she is reminding
people again of the trials and diffi
culties that have faced America in
past decades, not only during the
time of the pioneers, but during
the time of the pestilences, panics,
finna nd droutrhts. which the
n.on,n,nfliora nnd Grandmothers,
and fathers and mothers of the
nresent generation overcame.
No one can hear Miss Coleman
in her nresent address and not feel
a little more optimism and a little
determination to conquer the
present difficulties. Her very
presence itseir radiates a gumm
warmth and hei address is a cmr
ion call to renewed progress, in
dividually and collectively.
