THIS ALLEGED ADVANCEMENT
Much is being written in the states about their big
unemployment problem, its cause, and its remedy. Pol
itical conditions undoubtedly'have considerable to do
with the work, but the introduction of machines to take
the place of 9,000 clerks in the Census Bureau shows
that the constantly changing relation of the worker
with respect to the work to be done, will continue to
produce idleness until some new and rapid means of
adjustment has been found, or until the hour arrives
when the world ceases to advance.
If Socrates had practiced a while with moonshine,
the hemlock would have acted as a soothing potion.
We are willing to supply a carload of brown bears
if the easterners will release them on Pennsylvania Ave
nue, Washington.
The announcement that the Hindus are boycotting
English clothes is rather tardy. Judged by the pictures
they were the originators of the three-ounce flapper
undress.
Seward will get the breakwater, probably, upon
the completion of Boulder Dam.
