thnt day were killed by men perhaps
with as little desire to commit murder
as they had.
Jt was a very nndeslralble experi
ence, one that brought closely home
to them this form of recklessness and
what It might lead to. Many of those
men w’ere innocent of any Intent to
commit any wrong or to maim or kill

their thoughts and yet they saw the
result of the same sort of passion on

The Peace Conference at Lausanne
Is being ’’observed’’ by certain trained
diplomats representing the American
government. It matters little what
their political complexion may be, or
how much they may be prejudiced to
ward the policy of Isolation that Mr.
Harding has adopted as his guide ol
conduct for the present administra
tion. At this conference one of the
most perplexing and dangerous ques
tions at Issue today is being discussed
with a view of reaching and amicable
adjustment that will prevent further
troubles.
We all realize in a measure how
Important the Balkans are In world
affairs. Wo have seen a war fought
and won over some pretext of national
Independence started In that section
of the world, and wo fully understood
how, through Its ramifications it could
have been extended throughout the
world. The peace conference at Ver
sailles failed to settle that matter aa
It should have been settled.
The result was another war, nn ef
fort on the part of Greece to gain,
that which was not awarded her, the
ABta Minor territory, which she con
sidered n part of her natural and
rightful possessions. Turkey was de
prived of Thrace and the Dardanelles
was made an International zone. The
war resulted disastrously for Greece
and she not only lost whatever chance
she might have had In Asia Minor but
at the same time wae forced to give
up the Thracian annexations.
Greece hae very few aaplratlone now
etgn entanglements and has no pos
sible interest in anything except Am
erican commerce, not collosal? It
may be put over but we have no faith
in any agreement made with any na
tion for any purpose except It be that
the recipient of the agreement is
willing both to recognize the rights of
others but to stand up squarely and
accept the responsibility for securing
its own. We have not done that and
we need not expect to be treated as a
super-nation, above the petty agree
meat of other nations, but demanding
that whatever we say goes, no mat
ter how it may effect the other fellow.
HELPING EACH OTHER.
Reciprocity Is a word often heard
when one or more nations are con
templating tariff measures, trade
pacts, and the like, and the same prac
tice Is found in many lines of busi
ness, among many townships and in
the daily habits of many people.
The habit of being nice to folks who
are nice to you is one that only the
most unappreciative can fail to under
stand.
In small towns the practice is to
greater degree felt, probably, than
In larger ones, insofar os the various
lines of business are concerned and
as regards the customers of these va
rious establishments.
One man in a particular line of
business gives his trade to another in
a different line, because he in turn
gets his share of patronage from him.
It is a human Instinct, and is found In
all lines of business.
Your newspaper Is no different
from other lines of commercial activi
ty in some respects, except that it Is
generally the mouthpiece of the com
munity, a steady booster and n do
fender of the rights of the masses.
It is In no small degree a moulder of
public opinion and it dissects and col
lects news which it considers fit to
print. The visits o! your friends to
the city are chronicled In the same
way that local news Items are pub
lished for the Information and en
lightenment of Its readers. Social
happenings, church announcements
club meetings, and Hems of general
Interest all go to fill up the columns
as a matter of nows and no chargo is
made to the person reporting It.

provements and projected plans

all of which is the duty and purpose
of the up-to-date paper of the present
day.
A newspaper has one source o
revenue: advertising and job printing
this being necessary to the financial
operation of a newspaper, which has
many and varied expenses, such as
high priced machinery, newsprint, ink,
and the like.
Your paper owes it to you to give
you a good, readable, newsy sheet and
makes every effort to do so. You in
turn, as a matter of reciprocity, nil
things being equal, owe It to your lo
cal newspaper to give It not only your
news Items, personal notes, entertain
ment write-ups and tho like, which
are printed free,—a goodly share oi
your advertising and your orders for
Job printing. It is all n part of the
game and to play fair with your new*
paper, when you have some revenue
producing work, you ahould let him
know of It with the same zeal that
you display In calling up to announce
the arrival of a nice, fine young .son
or daughter.

unknown, there was Sunday school in

But before leaving the Tabernacle
some of the ladies brought some
water and every spark of fire in the
heater was put out There was no
insurance carried on the building,

munity. It is believed that the build
ing was fired by some unknown party
or parties.
