IS n I AIK TO Tlf K PIUNTKKB? The whole principle involved in the I subject of gover 'fiment ownership of {industry is wrapped up in the gQYern m\nt i>r ^>t iuu and selling stamped envelopes, the only absolutely social ?' istic movement that thu 1 g(?veVnmen'c has gone into. To the everlasting glory of tp | American ,and part iculnrl.v the ill nil pre as, it bajs stood .solidly as a matter of principle and without price against all encroachments irf govern- i im nt which would tend to break down or destroy American ideals of free |dom and the right of exercising indi vidual initiative and enterprise. It has done this in the face of govern ment competition and government ownership in the printing industry, j JUWl in spite of the fact that a large j j percentage of stores, hj+nks, doctors,! lawyer ?*,' and manufacturing institu- | tions which \y>uld light such competi- | tion in their own line of business,! consistently fail to patronize the' printing offices of the publishers from | whom they expect protection when | necessity arises. ' j On orders under 10,000 it is impos I sible foi printers to fui nish envelopes wi'th a printed return ?address at a; I price to compete with the govern- ! I mcnl. For amounts over 10,000,1 larger printers -can produce printed < nv elopes far below government fig- ! I HI es. it is the .>mi?'l publisher and printer, who i> huit worst by the government! competition. This is the general rule, in ail lines of activity when govern-; niviit owneiship is established. The j j ni ?; . t lie g..\vn.tm gets into the lie-Id. ii f business, the more impossible! ;t will become to eliminate the gov (??ini.rr pi in ting of envelopes.

Von Tresckow, Phone 263- W _ _ 7 r * * THIS WEEK By Arthur cB* Mr, Hi-i.-dmno's editorials! are pub lished aj i-\|irc.s.siontt of opinions of the world's highest-salaried editor and The Chronicle does -not necessarily endorse all of his views and conclusions. In ( hicago, where this is written, John (!. Shedd yesterday signed his name to an agreement under which he will supply $'2,000,000 to build. Ub-j world's |ai gcst ' aquarium, in (irant Park. ? Thus, all 'over the United States, men that have worked hard all their lives, and built up fortunes with the help of the people, give back the money to the people among whom they earned it,' Mr. Shedd's gift of a great aquar ium is money well spent. It will in crease the supply of public informa tion. If to the, exhibition of strange creatures of the oceans and lakes the John (i. Shedd gift could include some plan for economical distribution among the people of the food that tonics from the ocean, that would add to the value Of the gift. A plan to get rid of sharks that destroy billions of valuable fish every year, and the small, savage whales that 'prey upon the great schools of salmofl in the Northwest would- be worth millions in increased food value. Farmers 'arc encouraged by news that makers of artificial silk will re quire great quantities .of medium grade wool, to mix with wood fibre. The trade in artificial silk is des tined to be enormous. If the farmer raising and shearing sheep can com pete with Asiatics, raising silk worm', he may enjoy a new' kind of pros perity. ' This nation needs an ajr force con trolled by men that understand fly i:g, nun that are interested in the (. . f i e i euce between an all metal mono plane ami a weak cloth made bipa'ne, mote than in ncnt unifotms, or servile saiuting. i Providence, taking care of the birds put ! n charge of them the brains ol hirds, not the brains of- rabbits or Ui rt !es. Why should this nation, depending for its safety in war, upon flying machine- and flying men, put the nation's f.ving department under the control of human rabbits from the navy or turtles from the army? Not far from the train on which ;his is written in Arkansas City, Kan., there lives a dog. name unknown, and all the rest of his life that dog will believe in miracles. His owner probably dead by this time, was Warren Hardy, man of quick temper. Seizing his shotgun by the end of the barrel, Hardy hit the dog with the butt. Neither he nor the dog knew tlu gun was loaded. Hardy i< in the hospital, and probably won't recover. All in one second tin- dog felt the ; blow; heard the explosion, raw his crutl master stretched <>n the ground. Knowing nothing about gunpowder, ; that dog will always believe in mir acles. and also in a special providence that avenges dogs, when they are hit ?with the butt end of a gun. It is foolish, however, to .-av the 1 o > .?? you understand the more readily you believe in miracles. The radio is a genuine miracie of science, and it takes intelligent to il riders t and it. A savage wouldn't understand it or believe in it. He would simply say "witchcraft" and go on n ; < w a y .

The Kiting Sun of Prosperity The awakening spirit throughout the South for. the fullest utilization of the opportunities of this, section it coming with a ?ush that might seem to bo almost miraculous. I<ong dor mant Communities are bestirring themselves and shaking off their lethargy, determined to make the most of the situation. C?rf?at centers of industrial activity in the past, like Richmond- Charlotte, > (Jreenville, Spartanburg, Chattanooga, firming ham and many other towns and cities are fikewise arousing themselves to now activity, business men and com mercial organizations in the$e cities are taking a deeper interest than over before in constructive, uplnwUling wprji. The mnvrfpapor* are full /of the spirit of enterprise, In many ei't i eft banks and business men are ad y^'tising freely in the local papers, acquainting these coinmunitios with their opportunities and stimulating local pride and enthusiasm. This condition is ity'f confined to any one state. It spreads from Vir* ginia to .Texas, It is bringing forth a deeper sense of tbe powe'v of well organized and well-handled publicity. Individuals, communities, states and railroads are being stirred to the value of publicity in creating pros perity. Florida has been a magnifi1 cent example to every other Southern state. Its publicity, cajrried on year after year by railroads and commun ities, is showing what can be accom plished. The movement means far more to the South than merely at tracting nation-wide attention to the resources of this section. It means a quickening of the thought of tha people of the South themselves; it means that every college professor will have a new message to tell to his students, inspiring them as to the South. It means that men who have even uitprogressive in the past will caich a new. vision of what can be hone in their own community. Mere and there uien will move from > ne place to another, always thinking that the place "just over the hill' is I better than where they are, but on the whole men will learn to see that there an "acres of diamonds" all around them, acres that can be tilled in many ways to bring forth a harvest of wealth .-in h as this section has never known. There will be a marked advance in J real values in hundreds of Southern! town>. and cities; farm lands will be J more highly appreciated, and they, w ill have an upward tendency. J Out of this advance in land values alone hundreds of millions of dollars"! of real, tangible wealth will be made by the South, and with ths increas 'ing wealth the people themselves will be able largely to finance their in dustries and enterprises and thus share in the profit which will be made. The sun of prosperity is rising; its first rays are touching the mountain peaks of Southern opportunities Higher and higher the sun will rise, until the- whole land is flooded with the midday glow and glory of abound ing prosperity.
