AN EYE FOR AN EYE
Life is so short that it were
much better that we give
bread instead of a stone.
"Down over the isthmus into
the sea” is a brief journey and
the voyage is long or the
ocean of eternity. What will
It matter, friend, that you did
not resent when a scorpion
was given you when you asked
for an egg? In that long voy-
age will you or I be regretting
our failures to return evil for
evil? Will we be lamenting
our failures to take an eye fof
an eye or a tooth for a tooth?'
We know not. But not that
voyage if we can stand on the
bow of the vessel and have
the wings of a child's love fan
our cheeks, or the prayer of an
oppressed gently waft us on
our mighty shafts ever forged
in the way, it will be sweeter
than all the furnace of revenge
and malice, more powerful
than all the winds and hurri-
canes of wrath and envy since
that began.
Did you ever return evil for
evil and And the gold of vic-
tory turn to dirt and dust in
your hands? When you have
conquered and gotten even,
were you happy? When your
antagonist was beaten down to
the earth, was your joy un-
alloyed? Ah, my brother, joy
eometh not by the way of
anger and malice and revenge.
It it what you give or endure
or sacrifice that puts songs in
your heart, not what you take
or demand or seise. And hap-
py are we if we have learned
this lesson.—Marshall Morn-
ing News.

| LAND
The movement to tie indua
trial workers to the land is
spreading. Mr. Ford announces
that 20.000 acres in and
around Dearborn is under cul-
tivation by men who work for
Mm. The International Harves-
ter Company hae begun to pro-
vide "miniature” farms for its
employees who have been laid
off on account of the depres-
sion.
I heard again from one of
my correspondents in Czecho-
slovakia, who write me that
the government program of re-
quiring every industrial work-
er to live on enough land to
(support his family in case of a
shut-down is working out well.
In the old days in England
it was an expression of the
deepest contempt to refer to
any one as a "landless man.”
Hie man who held no land, by
ownership or lease, was a drag
on society. That is still meas-
urably true. The huge sums
that are being raised for unem-
ployment relief are not going
to men who hold land.
The time will come when ev-
erybody will realize the folly
of trying to separate human
activity from the soil.

MUSKRATS
Somebody had the bright
idea a few yean ago of intro-
ducing the American muskrat
into England. They were in-
tended to be bred in captivity
for their furs, but as any one
who knows anything about
muskrats might have antici-
pated, some of them got away.
Now the muskrat has be-
come a national pest. Most of
England is none too high above
set level, and for a couple of
thousand years its people have
been building dams ar.d dikes
to keep the surface water un-
der control.
The muskrats are playing hob
with these embankments and
great farm areas have been
Hooded. Parliament has pass-
ed a law making muskrats out-
laws, to be shot on sight, but
who ever saw a muskrat in the
daytime within rifle range?
Some day well learn the
foolishness of moving animals
from their native lands. The
English sparrow and the star-
ling have become pests in East-
ern North America. The wa-
ter hyacinth, imported from
Australia, blocks navigation in
our southern rivers. And in
Australia the English rabbit
years ago became the most
pestiferous and prolific of
vermin.

Famous men and women of
what seems a distant past were
among the customers whom this
veteran of commerce has serv-
ed. Mrs. Abraham Lincoln,
Mrs. U. S. Grant, Mrs. Cleve-
land are among the ladies who
bought things at his counter;
he remembers a lady named
Roosevelt, who bad her son, a
chubby little boy, with her
when she came to shop, and
the store clerk has lived a
dozen years and more since
that tittle boy passed on after
having been President of the
United States.
I often envy the man who
has the patience to stick to one
job, to live simply sad within
his means and take life as it
comes, but I have always com-
miserated them because their
lives seemed to me to lack the
essential elements of romance
and adventure. But William
Creamer seems to be one of
those rare souls who can find
romance wherever he may be,
and in his memories of the
famous folk of old days he has
something to enjoy in his old
age that is more precious than
anything money could buy.

I take my hat off to the
Hartford Electric Light Com-
pany. This Connecticut con-
cern has the right idea of what
a pubSc utility could and
ought to be. It has never
merged or sold control to any
power combination or holding
company. It has stack to its
business far which it wag char-
tered, that af supply electric
light and power to the people
of Hartford. It has earned
good profits and paid good
dividends, but it hasn’t had to
pay inti rest on inflated capi-
talization.
So v hen the hard time hit
Hartford, the company was
able to say to its customers;
‘You’re having trouble meet-
ing your bills; we’ll give you
three months credit, if you
n.ed it.”
If every local lighting com-
pany were as independent as
That one, nobody would be
shouting now about the “power
trust’

CANDLES
Arabella Bridgemau died
the other day in England at the
age of 106. She had lived her
last 100 years in one bouse, in
which there was neither gas
nor electricity. Candles alone
served her need of light.
Sometimes I think most of
us would be better off if we
left the bright lights for the
playhouses and public places
and contented ourselves in the
home with candles and lamps.
There wouldn’t be so much
temptation to sit up late, for
one thing. We might not do
as much reading, but we might
live longer.
