From a livestock—and many other
—points of view, these are fine' Amer
ican children.
But somewhere in America there is
a little baby shivering' in its moth
er’s arms, delicate, with a thin little
body, a big head, wide anxious eyes,
that some day •will do things the
healthiest boy and girl will never do.
Write that down for your comfort,
if you have a child that isn’t so robust.
Henry Ford’s offhand statement,
“No succesaful boy .ever saved mon
ey,” was not meant literally. He
meant that it was better to spend for
innfprmation than n^erely to save a
few dollars. Thomas A. Edison, jhis
intimate friend, “never had any mon
ey until he got so much that he
couldn’t spend it.” .

The other “world’s richest man,”
John D. Rockefeller, is surely “ a suc
cessful boy,” and did save money. He
advises young and old to save now
as he hands each one a ten-cent piece
with a smile worth a good deal of
money. Mr. Rockefeller will tell you,
“Save money, n^ chiefly for the mon
ey you save, buvWcause saving teach
es self control, and that’s the. begin
ning of wisdom^”
Ford has high respect for John D.
Rockefeller. ^He |aid to this writer,
“I never san^ Johh D. Rockefeller but
once. But when. I saw that face I
knew what made Standard Oil.”

words, or the^writing of another. I in
sisted that the 18th Aniendment is all
right. The people wanted it—still
waZiF it. Few, if any, of those who
advocated it and voted for it wish to
see it tepeated, even after eight years
of .farcical enforcement with thd at
tendant appalling development of or
ganized lawlessness. Tho.se of us that
stand for the 18th .Amendment—and
I am ^ne of them—must look with
apprehension at the deplorable expan
sion and growth of gangsterism*, hi-
jackism, bootlfggery, illicit manufac
ture, ofHcial corruption Md ruthless
violence that is rapidly spreading
throughout the nation. Something is
badly wrong.
The seat of the trouble is the
y^Utesd Law, which is not to be
confused with the 18th Amendment,
as seems to be done by so many peo-
i pie, but is only an interpretation of
the Amendment. The Volstead Law is
an expression of fanaticism, and has
overreached ' itself, undoing many
years’ work and education by the anti
saloon forces. We hit the line too hard
and the'reaction has been di.sastroits.
W'e threw down a challenge to which
the spirit of adventure has reacted
amazingly. WO expected a strong tern*
perance law, but people had not be^
educated up to receiving placidly any
thing as drastic as we got. A large
percentage of our people still regard
the BH)Ie as an infallible guide to con-
and they know that the Bible
not in its entirety teach teetotal-
ism or absolute prohibition, but tem
perance—temperance in all things.
The Volstead Law^ byprohibiting
more than “one-half of one per cent
um in volume” of alcohol, is an ex
ample of extremism trying to improve
on the ^ible and so they are not
warmly, in sympathy with it. We arc
glad we got rid of the open saloon,
we realize that we got in its place a
horrible brood of vipers in the road
house, the cabaret, the night club and
the speakeasy.
It is a^o**dition we face and not a
theory. Everybody knows that in the
most staid village or small' town in
S. a map who “knows the
ropjli” and has the price can get liquor
in . thirty minutes. There is probably
not a hotel to be found vriiere a bell
hop with a nice tip and a twenty doL
lar bill 'can nut produce in a few min
utes any kind of liquor one calls for.
Violation by legislators and public of
ficials in every capital and capitol in
the nation is notorious. There is no
sense in making a fe'tish of the Vol
stead Law, as was done in the recent
