Dear Old Tanglewood
Tanglewood by sunlight,
Mountains great and grand;
Drives and climbs and goodies to eat,
Finest in the land.
Shadows on the hillsides
Cowbells tinkling near,
Now a drive and now a swim,
All thru-out the year.
Tanglewood by moonlight,
Crickets chirping low;
Possums in the hen-roost,
Birdie dear” must go.
Games for all the children,
While the elders look;
Dancing, Rumtnie, Doodle Whang,
Gomaehy and Rook.
SPiAPlcs by the Rustic Bridge, - y
Fishing in the stream;
Skidding on the mountain side,
Scarey as a dream.
Riding on the mountain roads
Coffees’ poniesdear;
Climbing too and from the gate
Bearing the mail and cheer.
Breezes blowing gently,
All the live-long day;
Come again to Tanglewood,
Come again to stay. •
DEDICATED:
To our brightest, cherriest and most
gifted of hostesses,
Mrs. 0. D. Gorman, Jr.

Charging that bodies of return
ed sojdier dead at the army piers
at Hoboken are handled with less
tespect than are boxes of mer
chandise, the American Legion
department of New Jersey has
urged the governor and adjutant
general of the state to place offi
cers permanently on duty at the
base to'demand proper treatment
of the bodies. Removal of the
dead has become fatigue duty
for soldiers, in practice if not by
order, investigation has disclosed.

The Home Town
Pure Gold.
Speak a good word for your
own town and country whenever
an opportunity presents itself.
More towns die for want of con
fidence on the part of business
men, and public spirit, than from
rivalry of neighboring town or
adverse surroundings. When a
man is in search of a home or
business location, and goes to
town and finds everything brim
ful of hope and enthusiasm over
the prospects of . the place, and
earnestly at work to build up the
town, he soon becomes imbued
with the same spirit, and as a
result he drives down his stakes
and goes to work with the same
interest. • When, however, he
goes to a town and everyone ex
presses doubt and apprension in
the future prospects of the town,
he naturally feels that it is not
the place for him, and at once
shakes the dust from his feet,
while he pulls with all possible
speed for some other town.
Consequently, try and make a
live, enterprising, progressive
town out of the one in which you
live, and remember that when
you are working and saying a
good word for your town, you
are accomplishing all the more
for yourself. Then speak a good
word for your town.

For A Clean Press
Province of A Newspaper
It would be comical, were jt
net somewhat pathetio, the way
newspaper offices ‘are besieged
every day by their friends, urg
ing them to “roast” this and
that; to “see to it” that this and
that is corrected; to have this
and that done in the city or
county; to start this and that
kind of movement to correct
evils in the state government.
These friends actually appear to
believe that it is the newspaper’s
business to handle all • these
affairs.
But a self-respecting news
paper, though ready and will
ing to carry all responsibility,
must remind its readers that
they —the people—are the author
ity upon whom rests the respon
sibility for the present state of
affairs, local, state and national.
A self-respecting newspaper
tries to report the news of what
actually happens, not what it
wish had happened. The relation
of a self-respecting newsprper
to the general public is not al
ways understood. It is the duty
of a newspaper to be in a posi
tion to support any good act and
criticize any bad act of public
policy.
This relationship cannot exist
where favors are asked and
granted. Honesty is ths only pol
icy for a newspaper.
If objectors don’t like the way
things are going, they should
qualify as voters, and then raise
cain about it.
