"Let Ui have faith that right make might, and in
that faith let ns to the end dare to do our duty a wo
understand it." Abraham Lincoln.
Power and. the Fool
The Sam; Yesterday. Today and-
'Fiftecn or twenty years ago a man who
thought he was "daring," got drunk, then took
an automobile filled with other htiman beings
and started out cn what ha3 been popularly
termed a "joy ride."
That man thought he was daring, or fig
ured himself as a reckless dare-devil, fearless,
afraid of nothing. So he thought.
Shortly after he started out on his "joy
ride" his mental processes of reasoning, un
balanced by the "Dutch courage" of liquor,
he failed to note the end of a flat car protrud
ing out into the highway on a railway crossing.
The automobile struck the edge of the flat
car. Death, excruciating pain, mangled hu
manity, domestic complications resulted all
because of the unbalanced reasoning of one
individual.
. Before a stern judge, angered that a man
could be so forgetful of others as to take, by
blind foolishness, that which he could not give
back, the driver of that auto huddled in naked
fear, presenting anything but the appearance
of a dare-devil, recklessness and manhood and .
anything else all gone. His sane reasoning
thad returned, and with it he listened to these
words: ' -...--
"An automobile is a powerful engine of
destruction when improperly handled."
Not one in 50,000 of these highway speed
ers would last one minute if given an oppor
tunity on a track with a really high-powered
car, drunk or sober.
And for a display of cheap acting they will
risk another's life, maim still others and so on.
It was the. same yesterday, perhaps today,
and
Much Ado About Nothing
Something Is Wrong With Something
I If He Doesn't Have Great Thanksgiving It Won't Be their Fault
Within the past month all we have heard
as regards criticism of the air and naval forces
of the country is that something is wrong with
the "other fellow."
The latest comes from a mimic war some
where in the vicinity of the Hawaiian islands.
History has proven that an anti-aircraft
gun gets about one in a million aircraft and
that is, perhaps, only chance.
Anti-aircraft guns had been used effective
ly as a barrage, to turn aircraft, but in the past
war it ha3 been more chance than anything
when an aircraft gun has brought' down an
aeroplane.
Somebody is right.
It would appear that if careful cognizance
were taken of well meaning men's opinions,
instead of expensive attempts to defend one's
jobs, official pride, and what not, were to
guide the contending parlies, much more bene
fit would be derived by the people who pay
the bills if an actual war were to transpire.

Publishers Column
llnrniiin la credited with the
statement thnt the people Ilka to
h 'fooled. Apparently they do.
Thnt la - about one, flarnum had
sufficient foresight and knowledge
of human nature to spring a dew
game on them each aeasnn.
e e
lMltnra and publishers who are
without the sagacity of the old
srnwiuan, try to fool their read
ers. For a lime they fatten.
Khori'v their publishing property
takes a downward trend In value.
It la at this time they grow fero
cious They try to ne the. edi
torial bludgeon. This partakes
the ualure of a threat, the weapon
of an arrant coward. It la a con
temptible practice. Happily, In
his day and wge there Is llltle
of it
i
e e
T' ere la a simple reason why a
publisher cannot successfully foot
people- he has facta with whlrh
to reckon. The street fuklr sella
a worthless uftli le fur your quar
ter, regardless Its worth It la
a concrete something. You buy
It. you find you have been stung,
and buy no more. The publisher
who fools you has something ab
stract to peddle, usually In the
negative.
e e
In other words, what he ped
dles la untruths, distorted half
truths, wordy nothings. Ills one
sinister purpose la to lead bla
roade-t away from fart. The real
facta have a way of arising to the
aurf..ce. Ink or Inquisitions can
not keep them down.
The people can be fooled fur a
time only by any publisher. Ills
methods cannot change. The only
thine he can change Is ownership.
Ho must peddle the same old
stuff, tioon he Is forced tn null
and move to other fields.
e e e
It Is the nature of some people
to strive for gain by use of un
holy methods of graft in city,
state and nation. Nome politician-
are In thla class. They, too,
thrive on fooling people for a
lime. The unscrupulous publish
er and the crooked politician are
usually bed-fellows.
Tb.i people like to be fooled
for 1 time.
