Many in America Completely Hypnotized by
the Communist Propaganda
fly SECRETARY HUGHES, Before Canadian Bar Association.
ANY persons in the United States who have managed to
make for themselves reputations in the intellectual world have
been so completely hypnotized by the Communist propaganda,
that the propaganda itself has been able to establish something
of a reputation for sanity and respectability.
This latter manifestation is one of the most amazing features of
the whole nituation regarding Communism. The most important fact
about Communism, o far as Americans are concerned, is that it is the
antithesis of democracy. Dictatorship is the inescapable conclusion of
Communist operations. It is the goal of the Communist movement. It
lies at the end of the road, the objective constantly in. mind and
constantly preached.
But men and women possessed of American names, possessed of
intelligence and education, are part and parcel of the Communist propa-
ganda. They take orders from the Communist machine. They function
is lackeys of Lenin and Trotzky.
1 suppose I shall be disputed by the coterie of the elect if I say
that within a large group of literary more-or-less-celebrities it is almost
impossible to find presentation for any thought or argument that does
harm to the Soviet cause. There is a well-recognized group of this
character, and its power is enormous.
It includes book reviewers, dramatic critics, writers of special
departments, and of so-called newspaper columns, writers of books and
a certain type of public speakers and even ministers of the Gospel.

French Writer Believed
Napoleon Ended Warfare
The prophesies of Joseph de Mil 1st re
are often cited as forecasts which have
not "made good," yet worthier "proph-
ets" have gone astray, as witness the
following curious passage from a chap-
ter in Chateaubriand's "Memoirs d-'
Outre-Tombe":
, "Napoleon has closed the era of the
past. He has made war too great to be-
guile the human species in the future.
He has slammed upon his heels the
.portals of the temple of Janus and
against, them be has piled mountains
of corpses so that never may they be
opened again."
If the dead can see what Is going
on here on earth, it is not without
some spite that Chateaubriand will
have to admit, with the evidence of
the World war, that he would have
been better advised not to have played
the prophet.—Le I'etit Parisien of
Paris.
An extraordinarily fine family tree
sometimes puts some of the luter
scions in the shade.
The moralizer considers life but a
dream until the demoralizer comes
ilong and wakes him up.
Getting His Wood Cheap
Is there a parable concealed in this
apparently humorous story in the Ar-
gonaut? Some social philosophers
would say so
A traveler on the desert came upon
a lone stock raiser on the lower Colo-
rado river. The chief object of inter-
est on the barren ranch was a giant
heap of firewood, and curiosity caused
the visitor to ask the stockman how
in the world he happened to possess
It.
"Wal," the man drawled, "last year
this here brush came piling down the
river at flood time, and so I jest
rounded up a bunch of Indians and
told them they could have half of all
they drug ashore. Golly, them In-
dans worked 1"
Sleepiness Elusive
Sleepiness is such an elusive func-
tion that it visits you in your eve-
ning chair, but flees as soon as bed-
time arrives.
A good many families have a "break-
fast room," but they don't call It that.
It's the kitchen.

What We Forget
Between
15 and 50
Schools teach, and nearly every home applies
the rule against coffee and tea for children.
When middle age comes, a great many
people remember the facts about the caffeine
drug of coffee and tea, and how its regular use
may disturb health. Often they have cause to
remember what it has done to them.
How much better it would be not to forget—
and avoid the penalties!
Postum is a pure cereal beverage—delightful,
and safe for any age—at any time. Good for
breakfast at home, for all the family; good for
lunch at the club or restaurant; good with the
. evening- meal; good with a late night dinner-
good on any occasion. Postum satisfies, and it
never harms.
Why not be friendly with health, all the time?

Where the Responsibility Is Upon the Individual
He Cannot Shirk It
By FRANK 0. LOWDEN, Former Governor of Illinois.
It is said that there are ten departments of government at Washing-
ton. In fact, there are many times ten independent and practically
unrelated agencies of government there. No department under these
circumstancs can avoid becoming rigid and law bound, and red tape
necessarily becomes the rule.
If instead, the department heads were authorized to prescribe the
duties of subordinates, the red tape would largely disappear and the
responsible head would have power commensurate with his responsibility.
Instead of an inert mass you would have a living organism with an
actual head.
There are some who have assumed that large responsibility could
be more safely deposited in a body of men than in a single man. Experi-
ence has not justified this. Where the responsibility is upon the
individual, he cannot shirk it. Where it is placed in a body of men, the
individual can find shelter behind that body when called to account
for the manner in which he has exercised his power. Good and efficient
public service makes it mandatory that responsibility be fixed definitely.

Only 5 per cent of the business of the nation is conducted upon that
cash-and-carry plan which was a heritage from the fathers. Twenty-five
per cent of all business is conducted upon credit and 90 per cent of the
annual credit turnover is paid in checks.
Credit, of course, has much in its favor. It is the lubricant of business,
the medium that keeps the wheels turning. But it has distinct perils.
Credit is the cheapest commodity we have today, and the cause of
much woe to buyer and seller. I look upon the extravagant use of credit
as an attack upon our whole system of economy; and there can be no
doubt that we, as a nation, are using credit extravagantly. This not only
is the fault of the public, but of organized business as well.
Everywhere one goes credit is thrust upon him. It takes considerable
resolution to resist the temptation to buy. Business, in its eagerness to
sell, has devised a thousand plans based upon credit. Many people buy
things they cannot afford, run themselves into debt, and either fail to
meet their obligations or else must go through a long period of struggle—
all caused by mistaken purchases.

One of the many popular delusions of the age is the naive belief
that prominence in one field of human endeavor justifies intrusion into
another; that the great popular leader may dictate authoritative pro-
nouncements in science, theology, and education.
Social, commercial, and religious compulsion, sometimes exercised in
drastic ways, but more often brought to bear with artistic subtlety,
abounds in all circles. It is not surprising that in so vital a matter as
•education, social compulsion has always been in evidence. It has some-
times been the cause for cowardice when penalties threatened.
Any college or university, whatever its foundation, that openly
or secretly imposes unusual restrictions on the dissemination of verified
knowledge in any subject that it professes to teach at all, or that dis-
courages free discussion and the research for truth among its professors
and students, will find itself shunned by professors who are competent
and by students who are serious.

'Don Quixote" Was First Modern Novel and
Will Eternally Be the Last
By BLASCO 1BANEZ, in International Book Review.
"Don Quixote" was the first modern novel and will eternally be the
last, the most recent and the most interesting, because no novelist will
ever succeed in creating anything more alive, more complete, or more
modern.
No other book in literary history has been translated into so many
languages and achieved so many centuries of true success. Perhaps I
ought to explain that word "true." There are many famous works which
everybody admires, but which very few read. Most of these few, more-
over, read such a book once in order to say "I know it," and never again
take it into their hands, limiting themselves to gazing at it with
religious veneration on a shelf in their library.
Such books are works of a retrospective interest. They contain
great beauties, but beauties that have dried on the stalk, that long ago
lost the freshness of life. "Don Quixote" will live forever, because it is a
synthesis of all humanity
