"Technocracy" New
Revolutionary Plan
HocUa poena! Abracadabra! l'reato,
change! Watch me close, good
people! I have no mustache to deceive
you! Pick the pea under the
shell! Now you see it and now you
don't!
In terms very much like these the
exploiters of ' technocracy" are trying
| to explain to a gaping populace what
this now scheme is. Almost ever
night "technocracy" has become a
leading topic of gossip? worldwide
| fad. An air of mystery has purposely
been thrown about it, for if it was
brought right out in the open it would
probably attract very few dupes.
We have to go back to the annals
of perpetual motion, the discoveries
of Marco Polo, the tales of Baron
Munchausen, the tulip craze in Holland,
the South Sea bubble, the Keeley
motor and cases of that sort to find
a parallel for this sensation, _
The Pathfinder has had to deal with
so many such things that it is frankly
skeptical^ When a boy in the West
several years ago was proclaimed as
having invented an electric contraption
which was to take power from
nowhere apd "revolutionize" the
world, The Pathfinder was skeptical.
When an inventor * named GArabed
several years ago got a bunch of Congressmen
to believe that he had discovered
a way to get energy out of
the air and this was to "revolutionize"
the world, The Pathfinder was
again skeptical.
Hence, until "technocracy" is
brought out into the open, Tho Pathfinder
will treat it as hocus-pocus.
It doesn't cm at ter if a thousand professors
have examined into the
scheme and sagely declared that it is
destined to "revolutionize" organized
society.
We are not going to close The Pathfinder
plant and cease sending you
| your paper each week just because a
(bunch of "technicians" and "engineers"
calling themselves "technocrats"
have gone into a huddle somewhere
and laid down the dictum that
newspapers?among other things
must "go."
The Pathfinder is "going" now, and
it expects to'keep on going. It doesn't
intend to quit because those "technocrats"
say that publishing newspapers
and books is just a part of
the wood pulp industry and hence
there will in the future be no paper
to print anything .on. First, the SUP*
ply of wood is not going to give out.
If it did we would make paper from
a great variety of crops grown on
the farms.
It could only be a bunch of inexperienced
youths who could base a
scheme of chnnge on anything so
false as this. Judging "technocracy"
therefore from the one angle we
know most about, we pronounce it
unworthy of receiving the vast amount
of boosting and publicity it is
now enjoying.
For some time there had been rumors
in the air about this new "revolutionary"
idea, scheme, doctrine,
science, fake, fad, social system or
what not. The promoters could never
be got to talk in plain English about
their pet theory. Finally they announced
that on a certain day they
would make an "official" statement.
Now that this statement has appeared,
the whole idea js still exactly as
clear as mud.
The "technocrats" seem to have
been badly bit by the "efficiency" bug.
They cite how labor-saving machines
and time-saving methods have greatly
increased production?and working
from this narrow angle they picture
a time in the future when everybody
will have so much of everything that
the existing system, which is based
on "prices," will just have to fall of
its own weight.
They aro feeling bad over what
people will do when that state of
things comes to pass. Instead of
( trusting the people of the future to
settle their own matters and dispose !
of their own interests for themselves,
these "technocrats" claim tho privi- (
, lego of planning everything out age? ,
< in advance.
And they say that nobody but
'"technicians and engineers" has the
1 knowledge requisite to shape, such a
' program. This in itself is enough to
condemn the plan, for if there is anj
1 thing the people are fed up on. it is (
this same domination by men of that ,
very type, claiming to be exports but .
I found totally wanting when it comes j
to serving humanity- ??
Tho Now York Herald-Tribune has
published an exposure of the scheme,
after a thorough investigation. Those
articles charged that the man who is i
the guiding genius of the cult is an
old agitator of the I. W. W. organization,
who was accused of sabotage
on government work during the World j
war.
Critics therefore declare that the;
whole scheme of "technocracy** Is
nothing but a brand of communism,
revamped so as to give it a more sci-'
cntific and rational look- William H.
Smyth, a Berkely, Cal., economist,!
states that even the term "technoc-1
racy" does not belong to the group
who are now trying to exploit it. He
says that he coined the word some
14 years ago.
Tho nirb of the doctrine, if it has
any, seems to be that this machine
age is producing more products than
can he sold, that prices are bound to
go down and down, without striking
any bottom?and that within a short
time now our whole existing system
will come tumbling down.
We are exi>ected to pick ourselves
out of the ruins and then turn t-> the
"technocrats" as our saviors. They
are then to get together around tables.
as they do in Russia, and an
inner circle of them are to decide the
fortunes of the great masses of tho
people.
It is impossible of course to say at
this time Just-what is behind this
forcing of "technocracy" into the
spotlight. It may he it is just a part
of a slick free-publicity enterprise
similar to that which put "Trader
Horn's" book over and brought "huge
profits to the promoters.
Dupes in due time will no doubt
be offered a chance to buy stock, buy
a book?or perhaps just pay a good
entrance fee to go behind^the screen
TrmHsee- whet the thing looks like. It
may be advertised like Barnum's mermaid
or the Cardiff giant or the Wild
Man from Borneo. When more is
known, The Pathfinder will tell jou.

He was on the faculty of Newberry
college and the theological seminary
there before becoming its president.
He was a very scholarly man.
Three members of the J. L. Taylor

People Swarm
Back To Farms
-
Cincinnati, Dec. 29.?America i?
poUring bnck to the farm, the
American economic association was
told today, as much as it. ever flocked
to the cities in the prosperous days
of 1920-80.
The year 1082 may be the nrst
year in which modern American
cities have suffered a marked loss
in population, reported P. K. Whelpton,
of Miami university, Coral
Gables, Fla., in its train, he said,
the back-to-the-farm movement is
threatening the farmer with too much
labor, stripping him of his city markets
and bringing rural slum conditions
such as cities only now are beginning
to effectively combat,
Actual movement from the farm
to the city, he sui<h exceeded 2,000,000
a year from 1921 to 1920, chiefly
in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, I1Hjnois,
Missouri, Virginia, South Carolina,
Georgia and Kentucky.
Now the farmer is paying at home,
he said, and his city cousin is pouring
out to live with him?at the rpto
of 1,746,000 and more a year.
44A few years ago," he continued,
"many dads and mothers on the old
farm may have received quite a little
from the. good wages their grown
children were earning in the city.
But in 1932 the situation has been
reversed. Instead of much money being
sent froi|a the city to the country,
many sons and daughters who could
*hot find work in the city flocked back
to the farm, believing there would be
enough to eat even though corn is
selling for 10 cents a bushel and
ready money is scarce as hon's teeth."
On top of that he reported is the
"to the land" movement of city dwellers
looking fd* a place to live and
raise what food they can. ?
But it won't last, he went on. All
indications are, he said, that city
lights will be more popular than ever
when jobs are easy to get once more.

A1 Capone's Car In Chester
The A1 Capone car from Chicago,
while en route to show at the Florida
fairs, is on exhibit in Chester on
the Douglas lot on Gadsden street for
a few days, under the auspice's of the
American Legion. ....
The car is 21 1-2 feet in length,
as in comparison to other cars it is
compared as a battleship to a row
boat. It does not appear to the public
and on the road other than a large
car.
From examination it is found to
be considerably more, containing 1,000
pounds of bullet and shatterproof
glasp, a smoke screen, siren, pistols,
bombs and loop holes for machine
guns. It also has 17 secret compartments
for hiding weapons. The car
has a steel ceiling and a lead floor
and weighs 9,700 pounds. It is a
Cadillac and is capable of going 125
miles per hour and gets only 3 1-2
miles-to the gallon of gas.
The car was built under the direction
of A1 Capone himself, at a cost
of $20,000 and was used for killing
and gangster purposes only.
The principal object, the management
says, in showing this car is to
show to the world just what the larger
cities are up against in fighting
racketeering.?Chester Reporter.
During last year 260 persons were
killed on \South Carolina highways, a
decrease of ?even and a half per cent
from the previous year, when 281
were killed. The decrease in this
state was about half that in the
South Atlantic states and the country
at large. In this state there was in
1931 an increase in deaths per accident
and in the number injured per
accident. That spells fewer accidents
and more violent ones.
James N. Pearman, resigned as
penitentiary superintendent, announces
that he will be a candidate before
the next legislature for commissioner
of agriculture, commerce and industry,
vice J. W. Shealy, who has resigned
from the latter position, into
which may be merged the position of
warehouse commissioner. .

MORE than three thousand

Dr. W. B. Caldwell, in fifty years'
family practise in Illinois.
No wonder mothers have suchentire
confidence in giving little
ones Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin I
If you have a baby, you have ~
constant need of this wonderful^
preparation of pure pepsin, active
senna, and fresh herbs. A child who
gets this gentle stimulant for th%
stomach, liver and bowels is always
healthier. It keeps children's '
- delicate cysteine from clogging. It ~
will overcome the moet stubborn
j
condition of constipation. It boflda
them up, and is nothing like the
strong cathartics that np their
strength and energy.
A coated tongue or bad breath Is
the signal for a spoonful of Syrup
Pepsin. Children take it readily, for
it U^eally deliciou^in flavorTaste
and no appetite. Take some for
several days when run-down, and
see how it picks you up.
It is a prescription preparation dB
which every drug store has wsdf;
in big bottles, iusi ask anywhere
for Dr. ChSdwsIra Syrup Papain.
