LABOR
for man’s
thus
Surely there still is labor
hands;
Surely the heart shall not be
bereaved
Of its fine dignity. The untilled lands
Await him, there are forests yet un
cleaved,
And the dark caverns hold within
their dim
Vast aisle their stores for him.
And yet today there go the wistful-
eyed;
The beaten ones down every lane and
street,
Bdgging for that which they have
been denied:
Dragging their helpless way on
leaden feet;
Haunted by clutching hands and
hungry cries,-
A fear within their eyes.
God, bring us through this labyrinth
that' men
Have made through blindness—guide
us through it, Lord!
Give back to hearts the joy of work
again—
The joy of service with its sure re
ward.
Have pity and forgive our gross
mistakes
Before the heart of mankind breaks.

(By Bascom Anthony)
I wonder if the world ever saw be
fore such a helpless bunch of puddin’
headed nit-wits as cumber the earth
right now. Just when we were -all
puffed up with supposed knowledge
and are ready to bow the Almighty
out of the universe, as we were
abundantly able to handle it ourselves
and didn’t need Him any longer,, our
financial house fell down, destroying
our clothes, and has left us standing
out of doors clad in rather short shirts
in the winter of our discontent. It is
pitiful; also tragic, and decidedly
comical.
As nobody seems to have enough
brains to fix it, I think if we all had
a sense of the ridiculous and could
get a good hearty laugh at the funny
sight we present, it might clear our
heads and help us to a fresh start.
We could get mad and raise cain, but
I don’t know of anybody who has done
me any harm, and I am sure I have
not knowingly hurt anybody. I see
where the once rich but now poor are
killing themselves in the absence of
anyone else to blame, but we poor
white folks and negroes think t'o
.much of ourselves and too little of
prosperity to do that. Even poor old
Wall Street, the roaring lion of the
politicians and the devouring demon
of the common folks, has become a
fresh-shared lamb, wiggling its lit
tie bobbed tail while it bleats piteous
ly for its mama. Yes, it’s a messed
up, addle-pated condition that every
man explains to suit himself and
then proceeds to work, worry laugh,
cry or cuss, according as his erplana
tion may demand.
Bunch of Sophomores Home
From College
The one thing that is perfectly
clear is that we are not half as smart
as we thought we were and that prob
ably we are just a bunch of sopho
mores home from college who have
been running dad’s business long
enough for it to need dad’s attention
mighty bad. I have a suspicion that
politicians who can’t run their own
business successfully, and who don’

Real estate is no longer real, neith
er does it constitute an estate of any
thing except of liabilities.
Bonds have ceased to bind the con
tracting parties and are merely fine
specimens of the printers’ art.
Ownership of stock in all defunct
national banks means not ownersrip
but servitude. Yes, we are a smart
people and know how to run a world.
We h-av.e been so busy working out
our many absurdities that we turned
our government over to the politi
cians as a means of support to them
and their machines. And they have
fixed us all up in perfect accord with
our muddled, ciazy-quilt private af
ire.

know enough about government
suppress criminals, had better let oth
er people’s business alone lest per
chance they gum that up also. -I su
spect that is one of our troubles
right now. “Let’s pass a law” say we
all, and each one passed costs us a
little more money than before and
often muddles matters worse.
We flattered ourselves that we
were wise beyond all that had gone
before and had built a new world out
of which had been pitched much that
the past ages had left for us, when,
as a matter of fact, we were as
thick-headed as we ever were. We
had a few smart folks who knew
enough to bless the world, but very
few. Pasteur and Lister and one or
two more opened up a door or two
for the medical world. Edison and
Manconi did some wonderful things.
A few others had some sense, but
most of us were not smart enough
to use their gifts except to our hurt.
We killed more people last year with
our autos than we lost in the World
war. We crippled with them 1,032,000
folks in the same period and are not
in the least disturbed by it. Many
among us are howling for legalized
whiskey to help this disturbance
along. Yes, we are wise.
It’s right interesting to see what
absurd things we in our superior
wisdom have brought to pass. We
wanted to stay civilized and yet live
like animais, so we invented philoso
phies and psychologies that put us on
an animal basis, and then we wonder
what’s the matter with morals.
Wanted Softness Without Hairiness
We wanted to be Christians and
Btill live in softness and self-indul
gence without enduring the hairiness'
of a Christian soldier, and then won
der what is the matter with Chris
tianity.
We created so much wealth it made
us poor to own it. We turned the
Mississippi valley with as rich dirt as
there is on the continent into the
hardest pressed part of our farming
world with more farms sold for taxes
in Mississippi than anywhee else.
We bonded our counties for court
houses and school buildings that were
several times finer and more ex
pensive than we needed, and then
wondered why our taxes were so high.
We practiced birth control and then
wondered why one boy didn’t cat as
miich as two, and why one girl didn't
wear out as many clothes as two,
tion ride, we pay tag tax, ad valorem
tax, gas tax and oil tax until we
wish we had kept on working. The
average Georgia car driver pays about
$100 a year in taxes for the privilege
or riding in his own ear. When our
governor talks of cutting down the
tag tax, I think he is nibbling on the
edge and the wrong edge at that. 1
If we decide that we will go hunt
ing and get away from all, we have
in addition to our car taxes, a hunting
tax and a shell tax to pay that take
the fun out of hunting.
If we decide to stay home and loaf
and amuse ourselves, we have -amuse
ment taxes to pay until it ceases to
be amusing.
If we decide to give up and die to
get away from it all, then our fami
lies run into an inheritance tax upon
property that has small value outside
the tax books.
It’s right interesting to see how the
bax masters' who own „us have balled
up their machinery as much as we
wise hustlers have, balled up ours. A
man with a $6,000 equity ifi 1 a $10,000
piece of property had to-^ay 'tax
all of it, but when the property shrunk
in value until his equity disappeared,
then he quit paying taxes on what
was left until the office holders began
to be in want like the rest of us. It’s
all a badly muddled situation, mates,
badly muddled, and proves how smart
we are, if anybody can figure out how
smart that is.
I have always thought until
that it will create a longing to be
present at affairs so charming when
reports become current. So everyone
can contribute immeasurably by
"clasping hands’’ and reaching out
for other hands—so if this is for you
a comparatively new role to play-
then all the more put your whole
heart into the game and watch de
velopments. You will marvel at the
active forces for a chapter’s good that
can arise when everyone outgrowa
the passive stage and quick-steps for
an increase in chapter membership.
Make every effort possible to secure
new members, says Mrs. Rauch—and
especially do I urge that you direct
your energies to secure the young
women just emerging from the junior
organization before they interest
themselves in other affairs. Remem-
ber, April is the month Bet apart for
this feature of work.

know that our trouble is moral and
that I had an infallible cure for hard that if we can cure that by infusing
times-, but the patient is too far gone
to take the medicine. My remedy has
been to spend less than you make. I
thought it unfailing, and it is if you
start in time, but just how a man
who earns nothing is to live on less
than that and pay his debts out of
what is left after you subtract noth
ing from nothing, is beyond me.
World’s Troubles Are Moral Ones
So I have about made up my mind
to stay in a good humor, as I know
of no one person or system to blame
for our situation. I have also decided
to live by those ancient rules of in
dustry and economy as I wholly dis
trust our modem law of getting rich
by spending. Neither do I expect to
see our people get rich by buying beer
from themselves. If I can keep myself
off the charity list and help the poor
fellow a little who is on it or nigh to
it, then I will have done a part of my
duty. I am not wise enough to help
the world out of its muddle. I only
the mind of Christ, all our other trou
bles will get well of themselves just
as naturally as streams go to running
when the earth gets wet.
Yes, we are a smart people,
whom many in Europe now laugh.
They once envied us, but now regard
us as out of the running. Our folly
has merited their poor opinions of us
but they don’t know us. Five years
from now they will be envying us as
aforetimes, for we have quit strutting
and are getting back to common sense
which will put us on our feet once
more. Thousands of cars will cease
to run and that will help the health
and purse of our people. Business, in
self-defense yill cease to encourage
debt. Many wil lget back to a place
in the country where they can have
fire and shelter, and a cow and a gar
den, and live like their -ancestors did.
Fair character, half sense and
vanity will put us on a firm basis
from which we will rise again.
