IT DOES NOT HELP HUMANITY.
Bolshevism does not help humanity but means ruin and desola
tion. Any one who studies conditions of Russia at the present time
is forced to this conclusion. The thing for America to do is to deter
mine it shall not get a foothold here.
The Baltimore American speaking about the situation in Russia
truly says:
From whatever honest and trustworthy narrator we oh
tain information about what has happened and what is hap
pening in Bolshevik Russia, the picture presented shows demoli
tion and devastation, with not a sign of actual construction.
Bombastic talk about building museums, schools, colleges, art
galleries —about gorgeous plans for creating a gorgeous Bol
shevik Russia —there is not like of this kind of pipe-dream
stuff. From whatever angle of view the story about what
Bolshevism has already done for Russia comes, the purport
is the same. Bolshevism means ruin and desolation.

We have enough of the undesirable element already in this coun

Some paper remarks that so many girls are disappointed in mar
riage. What about so many men who are down and out with the same
complaint? The thing for a girl to do, if she can find out, is to marry a
man and for the man to marry a sure enough woman. But what’s Ihe
use to advise?
PRESS CLIPPINGS.
When New York Was Dry.
The fact that the city and state of New York once were dry for
nearly a year was recalled the other day by Arthur L. ('ruiekshank, of
Chicago, who was born in New N ark 8() years ago. The experience of
New Yorkers under arid conditions came .just before the outbreak of
the civil war. Mr. (’ruiekshank said, and after the law had provoked
turmoil throughout the state the court of appeals declared it uncon
eonstitutional and inoperative. For an a count of the state’s experi
ence Mr. (’ruiekshank referred to Robert’s History of New York,
which says::
“Maine had inaeted its law of prohibition in 1851, and its exam
ple attracted much attention in New York. In the session of 1854 the
legislature passed an act for the suppression ol‘ intemperance, which
aimed to prohibit the sale of intoxicating drinks. Governor Seymour
interposed Ids veto on March 'lO, 1854, having previously warned the
legislature not to inae.t in opposition to t he rights of the citizens.
“The measure, however, finally was put on the statue hooks, and
its enforcement caused a protest from one end of the state to the oth
er. While the indignation was at its height a gubernatorial election
was held and Governor Seymour, opposed unitedly by the press and
the clergy, failed of re-election, hut only by .‘lO9 votes.
“Eleven months after ils passage the constitutionality of the law
was called into question and the court of appeals banded down a de
cision that the measure could not stand.”—Now York Times.

* t NO EXCUSE NOW.
im
port y years ago there was some excuse for bad roads, for our
country was poor. Now it is rich and there is no excuse. A good road
is always to he desired and is a source of comfort and convenience to
every traveler. Good roads attract population as well as good schools
and churches. Good roads improve the value of property, so that it
is said that a farm lying five miles from the market connected by a
bad road, is of less value than an equally good farm connected by a
good road. A larger load can he drawn by one horse over a good road
than by two over a had one.— Hartford News Herald.

TRAINING THE BOY.
A genuine mother ••mild no more raise a had hoy into a had man
than a robin could raise a hawk. When we say a “genuine mother.”
we mean something more than a mother who prays with her hov and
sends him to Sunday school. All these things are good, and indispen
sable as far as they go, hut there h a lot more to do to train a hoy be
sides praying with him. just as there are things necessary to the culti
vation of a garden besides reading a manual. To succeed with roses
one must prune, weed and hoe a great deal. To make a hoy into a
pure man. a mother must do more than pray. She must live with him
in the sense of comrade and closest friend. She must stand by him in
time of temptation as the pilot sticks to the wheel when rapids are
around. She must never desert him t<> go off to superintend outside
duties any more than the engineer deserts his post and goes into the
baggage ear to read up engineering when his train is pounding across
the country at forty miles an hour.— '■Wlaeauga News.
OWN YOUR OWN HOME.
The Own-Your-Home campaign is in full swing in every section
of the country where citizens, recognizing the desirability of encour
aging home builders because the home owner always makes tlie best
citizen, are putting their shoulder to the wheel to push forward the
movement
The United States government says, “Build Now,’’because homes
are needed at once for all classes of people
Bankers and dealers in investment securities say, “Build Now,”
because they have money tied up in their vaults for this safest of all
investments.
Dealers in building materials say, “Build Now,” and they are
putting the cost of their wares down as low as possible to encourage
immediate building.
Churches say, “Build Now,” for the home owners are the staunch
supporters of religion.
Cities, towns and villages; industrial corporations, manufactur
ers, philanthropists, educators, professional people, mechanics, poli
ticians —all say, “Build Now,” and it is probable that in no period in
the history of the world has there been such a persistent appeal to the
people of the world to get busy and build homes.—Tampa Tribune.
