COMPENSATIONS FOR POVERTY
Writers on social problems some
times refer to the compensations
for poverty. They endeavor te
'show that people may gain the bene
fit of many blessings provided them
by the community, even if they have
a hard struggle in money matters.
To this the sharp retort is often
made, that it may seem very nice to
be poor to those who don’t have to.
But those who have gone through
with this experience know that it
has no compensations, and is a social
condition that should not be toler
ated.
There is more than one kind of
poverty. There is the kind that re
sults from vice, and another that
results from ignorance. There are
not apt to be compensations for such
poverty.
But there is another kind that oft
en befalls good and intelligent peo
ple, as the result of misfortune. The
people who have been through with
such experiences may have had hard
and struggling days. But compensa
tion is one of the great laws of life,
and nature usually makes up to peo
ple for those losses for which they
are not to blame.
The children of many well to do
people have too many good things,
too much is given them. Such ones
often lose a sense of values, they
become materialistic, they are sur
feited with pleasure, they often fai]
to develop resources of their own.
But the children of many folks
who came up through poverty learn
ed lessons of determination, of am
bition, of earnest work, that spurred
them on to successful achievement.
They developed a keen sense of val
ues, they had to study carefully to
make the best of everything, they
enjoyed keenly such pleasures as
came in their way. Such ones are
really more attractive in their en
thusiasm and interest than many of
the sons of the rich. Life is not all
gain for the rich, nor is it all loss
for the poor.
CONTROLLING CIVILIZATION.
The thought has been expressed
by different people in different ways,
that modern man has built up,
through a wonderful material de
velopment, a splendid civilization.
But now that civilization has to a
large extent gotten out of his con
trol. As a result terrible wars de
vastate the planet. Also there is
social strife, industrial unrest, class
struggle. The machinery of modern
life is marvellous, but it is not reg
ulated.
Men make wonderful discoveries
in chemistry, for instance, and light
en the labor of daily life by their
inventions. Yet by reason of this
lack of control over civilization and
science, men take chemicals which
might be so serviceable, and suf
focate armies and threaten peaceful
cities with their gas attacks.
The machinery and science of
modern life are compared by some
with the story called ‘“Frankenstein,”
the imaginative tale of a student who
discovers the art of creating life
artificially. He thereby creates a
horrible yet pathetic monster, who
murders his friend and pursues his
creator from one land to another.
Modern development, unless control
led, might likewise be a kind of
Frankenstein product, which turns
and harasses its creators.
Nevertheless, there are more peo
ple than ever before who appreciate
the necessity of bringing our ma
terial civilization under spiritual
forces. Qur schools, colleges,
churches, ete, are powerful influ
ences for better regulation of ma
terial development.
To regulate civilization the amass
ing of money must cease to be the
first aim. Civilization will not be
well regulated, until the 'struggle
for selfish advantage is supplanted
by cultivation of more refined en
joyments not dependent upon mon
ey, and by a spirit of emulation to
Moble achievement. !
Some folks need to be reminded
that a good neat and trim back yard
looks just as fine in winter as it
does in summer.

' PROGRESS WITH THE ROADS.
" The people of many rural scc
tions feel that their road conditions
are very bad, and they are often
right. But if people will look back
10 years, they will usually see that
road conditions in their own section
have decidedly improved.
Formerly the country people had
to build their own roads or go with
out. Now the automobile owning
city folks have been persuaded that
it is good policy to contribute for
the improvement of country roads
and they are doing it on a large
scale.
~ The vast job of rebuilding our
roads ean not be accomplished all at
once, but methods and results are
improving. If any section finds that
its roads are worse than they were
10 years ago, it certainly needs to
get busy. :
THE SIXTY-EIGHTH CONGRESS.
For the next year and four
months, the 68th congress seems
likely to be in session most of the
time. Party lines are somewhat
loogely drawn in this body of men,
‘zmd no one group can control it. Tt
will not be ruled by any so-called
machine.
' While the people do not like a
‘machine dominated congress, they
also do not like one that spends its
time in futile discussion. They de
mand to have things done. If the
various groups all insist fiercely on
their own policies and will not com
promise, the results achieved by this
congress will not be large.
The difficulties that confront this
congress, grow to a large extent out
of the bigness of our country, the
diverse views entertained by differ
ent sections and elements, the ten
dency in all sections just to see their
own needs and | difficulties. Tre
congressmen to a large extent rep
resent this limited point of view.
There will be a lot of unnecessary
talk in this congress. Many speeches
will be heard mostly by empty seats.
If the congressmen want to make a
favorable impression, they will cut
out a lot of their stump speeches,
spend less time securing jobs and
other favors for constituents, and
make more effort to study the con
ditions of the country.
i A congressman needs to talk with
men from all over the country, and
know business and social conditions
\cvcrywhere, both from reading and
personal investigation, so that when
he acts, his votes will be based on
broad intelligence rather than on
superficial information.
- The people ask their representa
tives to be patriots first and part
men second. If they will cut out
political wire pulling and making
political capital, and try to serve
their country, the public will back
them up.

In Switzerland, for instance, owing to
the prevalenee of cretinism, 245 per

it, whereas the genernl average amohg
