And another judge was appealed to, that he save an elephant condemned to die. So some one proves that, through many centuries, animals were accused of high crimes—dogs, rats, pigs, oxen, roosters, storks, also ants, spiders, snakes, grass hoppers, dolphins, locusts, gadflies, eels, and, being convicted, were burned, flayed, hanged, destroyed by slow torture. But think of the charges on which the so-called brutes might condemn mankind—offenses of which they rarely or never have been guilty— malice; slaughter of weaker things for love of slaughter; deliberate wastefulness of natural resources; wanton destruction of natural beau ties; wars without rational cause; unnecessary greed; bearing false witness; neglect of our own young; drunkenness; slothfulness; bigotry; intolerance. L Newspapers Vs. Spellbinders. N MY reportorial, youth nearly every newspaper, big or little, was bitterly partisan. We distorted facts and editorialized in news stor ies when dealing with the accursed opposition. Otherwise we’d have i been traitors to a sacred cause. These times the average paper, big or little, prints honest accounts concerning both sides—their rela tive chances as revealed by polls, their waning or gaining hopes. But the spellbinders go right on spouting fiction which everybody knows is fiction. And the volun teer debaters clamor with prejudice and misinformation for their am munition. I Currency Juggling. EING frightfully smart to begin with, I know as much regarding currency juggling as the next fellow —which is precisely nothing at all. Up to, say, $18.75, most of us know what money is—or used to be. But when they talk in terms of billions or trillions or jillions, they’ve got us going down for the third time with a low gurgling cry. And the more a financial techni cian, with both his pants pockets full of figures, tries to explain these governmental manipulations, the more convinced I am that, like the average specialist, he has concen trated on being expertly ignorant upon one involved subject rather than remaining, as most of us do, broadly and comprehensively ignor ant upon practically all subjects.
