Show FOILED. The Lroyal Order of Americans, organization or-ganization trying to counteract the Ku Klux Klan, grows rapidly. Quito natural, by the law of cause and effect ef-fect Every action has an equal and contrary con-trary reaction And an organ lzatlon-f or always brings Into existence an organlzatlon-agalnst. organlzatlon-agalnst. Just a Question of time un til they cancel each other. It is possible that the Loyal Order of Americans will become more powerful pow-erful than tho Ku Klux Klnn Maybe it will blot the klan out of existence. Then would come a third organization, organiza-tion, to counteract the Loyal Order of Americans Nature has a shrewd way of keeping everything balanced, in the long run. The hot sun of summer evaporates water from the ocean. The vapor drifts inland, condenses, falls as rain, forms rivulets, runs into creeks, on Into rivers and back to the sea. Tho balance restored, the process starts over again. You see this law working in the activities ac-tivities of people. A society against always rises to oppose the soclety-for A political party comes into power with opposition crushed, the field to Itself But things soon change. Dp position sprouts up, grows until It wrests control from the old leaders Democrats and Republicans follow each other in un eternal cycle, though tho names of the parties change as the centuries slip by. Nature loves a certain normal. She insists on it. Whenever humanity gets either above or below that normal, na ture starts evening things restoring balance, equilibrium. Tho cycle of destruction and resto- ration-of balance is what keeps men, collectively, busy from cradle to grave. This natural law seems harsh to the visionaries It seems equally harsh to the conservatives. Tho visionaries vis-ionaries correspond to the water evaporating evap-orating from the ocean The conservatives conserva-tives are llko the rain rushing the vapor va-por back to its source, the flea. The Law of Balnnce works Inexorably Inexor-ably in all human lives When you gel too happy and contented, move cau tiously, for the chances are that you are "riding for a fall" And when you are down In the mouth and everything every-thing goes wrong, keep heart, for nature na-ture soon will restore the balance and bring happiness, the reaction from misery. The sharpest razor dulls itself in shaving, and has to ,be sharpened again. Such is life. |
