THE OLD ORDER CHANGETH
A favorite legend and illusion of the American people
has dried up and blown away during the long drought of
the depression. It was once our proud conviction that we
were the kind of people who needed no coddling, who stood
firmly on our own feet and minded our own business. We
could look after ourselves. We worked hard, earned high
wages, and saved wisely for a rainy day. And we had a
kind of contempt for anybody who did anything else.
Something has happened to the cocksure independence
which was once-considered characteristic of the typical Am
erican. Probably the reason is that the rainy day arrived
at last, and it kept on raining entirely too long.
The result is that millions of Americans nowadays are
quite willing to accept a hand-out. A vast army of war
veterans, many of whom never smelled gunpowder, will
take all they can get from Washington and ask for more.
Others want old-age insurance, health insurance, unemploy
ment insurance. Farmers expect Uncle Sam to pay off the
mortgage and send them spending money when crops fail.
All sorts of organizations demand Federal aid for women
and children. Others want some of the free and easy money
for schools, hospitals, libraries, laboratories and little thea
ters.
A lot of these ladies and gentlemen will get the money,
too, if they keep after it until Congress weakens. Congress
men don't mind being generous with somebody else’s money,
though they squeal like pigs under a gate if anybody tries
to cut their salaries or expense accounts.
Some of the forgotten men, who are merely taxpayers
and not entitled to a Federal hand-out would like to know
where the money is coming from to pay half the population
a pension, bonus, allowance, insurance or subsidy. Well, the
money will come out of the taxpayers’ pockets until there

isn’t any more. After that, perhaps, it will come out of the
Treasury’s printing presses. And after, that, maybe, we
shall all be dead, and won’t care where it comes from.
But there are good reasons, of course, for some of these
governmental allowances, though heaven knows how the
Nation can afford to pay them all. Other countries are try
ing to take care of the old and feeble, the unemployed and
needy. The world has outgrown the ugly time when war
and starvation and disease wiped out millions who could
not earn a living. For there were plenty of depressions in
the past, long before Henry Ford made his first motor car.
What happened to their victims? They died by millions,
either of bitter want or brutal warfare. And that kind of
remedy for hard times is out of date.
So the old order changeth and human society does its
pitiful best, in spite of human nature, to make life a little
worth living for us all. Men should not be punished with
hunger and raggedness for the crime of being too old to
work. Little children must not starve because they were
born during a depression. Men who are willing and able
to work deserve something better than to live like beggars
on the crumbs from their neighbors’ tables.
There lies the biggest problem that perplexes the mudd
led modern world. Russia, England, Italy and Germany
are working at it, in one way or another, and so is the United
States of America. Something of enduring good may come
of their labors, though it will seem strange and dangerous
to those born and bred to the ways of thinking of the past.
One foreboding fact looms on the horizon of the future.
This sort of social reform, if that’s the right name for it, will
have profound effect on American character. It is having
effect already.—Exchange.

THE CRATERS OF THE MOON
The Craters of the Moon, one of
the scenic wonders of Idaho, are a
national park, located sixty miles
north of Shoshone. Crater pits,
spatter and cinder cones are massed
along the Great Rift caused by the
Lava Flow. Many of the cinder
cones are red at noon, and change
to purple by sundown. Beautiful
flowers grow in this area, including
the Idaho State flower, ferns, lilies
and others. The craters are truly a
beautiful sight and should be visited
by any one going near Shoshone.—
