LESSONS FROM ABROAD Those who have leaned toward the belief that democracy, as it has been typified in America, is a failure, must find considerable food for thought in recent events in Europe. Across the waters, a new order has ?ome into absolute power. It takes various forms and names ? socialism, Communism, fascism ? but the under lying (principle is always the same. Its main tenet3 are that an aibsolute dictatorship tfe establisted ? that the authority of the state over all social and business activities be supreme ? that criticism shall be punishable by imprisonment, torture, even death ? ? that the individual is nothing, and that individual rigTits shall be non existent. * We see t\o results of that now in headlines. In RusMa, thousands are dying of starvation, and he who lifts his voice in protest is crushed ruth lessly almost before the words leave his mouth. In Germany's recent reign of terror, 70 to 100 mon were slaughtered because they questioned the "divine authority" of the present government. The German people hide in their homes, afraid of the fu ture, not knowing what atrocities it will bring. In Austria the Chan cellor has been murdered, and chaos reigns. A' dozen countries are pre paring for war, and frontiers are nrmed Amps. Altaost every nation hates and mistrurts every other. In each of these countries the peo ple are prevented from knowing what is actually happening because there is no free" pretsP-the few newspaper that have not been froced out of bus iness by the government, are leashed and muzzzled and are permitted to publish only official pronouncements. An official pronouncement in this case is whatever the dictator wishes the public to~*Believe, and the truth * is often diametrically opposed to it. We have made mistakeo in this country. No government ever exist ed which could not bo {improved.

An old-time hall player avers that the term "charley horse", applied to diamond artists who develop a kink in the leg, originated at Sioux City, la., some 40 years ago, when An old broken-down horse named Charley) babbled about dragging the diamond. TEACHING THE NEED FOR COOPERATION The thought is widely expressed that the most encouraging factor Ifc the ' agricultural situation is . the steady suataKSH growth of the great farm cooperative organizations. As they enllsT more members, and make their Influence more widely felt, their battle for stable markets and better prices automatically approach closer to victory. It might abo be said that a lesser known phase of cooperative activity is almost as important as this kind of work, and gives equal cause for en couragement. That 13 the work the co-ops do in dSucating their members and the general public as well. They seek to "bS agencies of economic in formation, as well as buyers and sell ers of commodities ? and their influ ence .in this direction, as in the other, is always widening. Cooperative leaders have demon strated to the thinking public that fair and profitable prices for agricul tural products are an essential of re covery generally ? that bringing back the farm income to a normal level would be a major step in bringing back the urban income. The Ameri can farmer cohstltutes the greatest single market for our factory pro ducts, and no one can profit if hi.? buying power is dormant. The cooperatives, in brief, are showing the nation that all of our cit izens ? rural and urban dwellers ? have the same interests and the .^ame ?problem.?, and that better times for one means better times for all. STUPID RELIEF WORK v In the current Scottish Rite bulletin attention^ called to what appears to be rank stupidity on the part of cer tain federal relief agencies, of which the following example is given: Federal relief in Kentuck shipped 172 carloads of new potatoes into that state from Virginia the middle of July, to be 'distributed among 111, 000 families on ^e relief rolls. This Involved much waste, because new pbtatoes (To nrot keep, and each day after they are'taken from the ground rotting increases. "Besides, during ,late July and August, Kentucky must ship potatoes into other states, or leave them in the ground to rot. It appears, "therefore, that the re lief agency could have saved time, preventecT waste of potatoes, saved freight charges, and at the same time could have given addtional work to Kentucky farmers by taking care of the crop in that state. As the bulletin rightly suggests, it would be hard to determine just how much such mismangement in state and federal relief activities is costing the taxpayers of the country, but it doubtless amounts to a great deal. But, so long as the taxpayers pay for auch blunders, why Should incom petents on the public payroll worry? What appears to bo a record for domestic felicity is reported from Chicago, where Mr. and Mrs. William Halket, afeed 90 and 89, respectively, have completed 67 yean? of married life without a quarrel, rearing 10 children in the meantime. Halket still wriles poetry to his wife, which might cause a cynic to wonder wheth er their compatibility has persisted because of the pootry or in spite of it.
