MR. EASTMAN’S LION.
HE’LL CATCH FISH.
DAVID DANCED, PERHAPS.
SI,OOO AN HOUR?
George Eastman, of Rochester,
hunting big game in Africa, has
killed his first lion, eight feet
long Doubtless Mr. Eastman
pushed the trigger, and the lion
did the rest.
How would you make that lion
understand how a man could
travel from Rochester, across the
Atlantic Ocean, down to the lion
country, just to shoot hfm? If it
w'ere an atheistic lion it would
say, “You are talking nonsense.
There is no such thing as George
Eastman. All is accident.”
President Coolidge, on his vaca
tion, will fish in a lake where,
men tell him, there are no fish.
For President Coolidge no such
body of water exists. If he fishes,
he will catch fish.
And if fish are scarce, he will
have the more time to think. Tak
ing fish off the hook is an annoy
ing interruption of thought. The
President must do hard thinking
with wheat and cotton farm
ers, North and South, fighting each
other and nothing “done for the
farmer.”
The President will not fish with
fancy “flies,” but with genuine
worms, such as he used to dig up
in Vermont or pull out of their
‘ground with his fingers after a
lain years ago.
Congressmen are going home to
rest and learn what their constitu
ents think.
Like husbands going home late,
!hey are thinking up a convincing
story.
They have cut more than $350,-
000,000 off the national tax load.
That’s GOOD.
They tried their best to make
this country join the World Court,
and become subject to its decisions.
That’s BAD, and more Senators
will knew it soon and stay home.
Congress collected some of the
money .that Europe owes us.
That’s GOOD. It is as well we did
not try to collect all, we might
rot have got anything.
Congress appropriated $150,000,-
000 to be spent in five years on
aviation. That SOUNDS all
right, but there ISN’T any Ameri
can aviation worth speaking of,
and that’s BAD.
Dancing masters “bar the
Charleston,” but won’t succeed
in driving out that wild dance.
It is probably like that David
danced before the Ark. It enables
the dancer to express frenzied
emotions for which words can’t be
found.
Dancing originally was all wild,
as among American Indians or
African savages. Primitive man
desiring to “express himself,”
danced himself into exhaustion.
Then came brief control, state
ly minuet, waltz, jerky polka,
quadrille. There is no personality
or expression in them.
The Charleston, allowing youth
to throw up both legs and arms at
once, will stay until our craving
for “self expression” shall have
been satisfied.
Roy D. Finch, New Y'ork’s able
State Engineer, shows that neglect
to harness the St. Lawrence costs
New York State 10,000,000 tons of
coal every year. Waste does not
disturb the American people.
Congress sits close to the Poto
mac’s rushing rapids, every day
wasting power enpugh to light all
Government buildings and half
of Washington.
In a sixty-mile race yesterday,
aeroplanes beat carrier pigeons by
three minutes. One hundred years
ago, stage coaches raced against
steam locomotives, and locomo
tives won by a narrow margin.
The margin is now wider.
Those living will see’ aeroplanes
flying around this earth 25,000
miles in 48 hours.
A Chicago lady, in a hurry to
get home, commandeered a Penn
sylvania Railroad special train,
just as Kubla Khan decreed his
stately pleasure. It cost some
$7,037.50. The lady, paying for
125 tickets at $56.30 each, saved
six hours. How many are there
in the world whose time is worth
SI,OOO an hour. Many, fortunate
ly, but most of them haven’t got
SI,OOO an hour.
