FRIDAY NOVEMBER 9, 1923.
The people who sit on the front
porches and tell their help what to
do, are not as a rule very successful
in the farming game.

THE BIG HEART
The Savior of mankind, in one of
his noblest utterances, spoke of the
shepherd who had a hundred sheep,
one of which had gone astray. “Doth
he not leave the ninety and nine”?
he asked, “and goeth into the moun
tains and seeketh that which hath
gone astray?” Yet we pursue our
own cares and pleasures, regarldess
of the 100th sheep down in some
back alley or side street that is
going astray in the complexities and
temptations of modern life.
A community ought to be like 2
family, in which the troubles and
difficulties that individual members
meet should cause concern and anxi
ety to all the members of this fra
ternal group. The family that is up
against hard times should find gener
ous hands of help extended to it.
If that were always the case in a
city, you would find hard feelings
disappearing, and the community
would work together as a unit in
its industries and its social efforts.
There is the belief of course that
people’s troubles are largely the re
sult of their own fault. In a great
many cases that is so. Indolence,
vice, follies, cause more than half
the troubles of life .
But there is a residue of misfor
tune that is due to causes that the
community could help. Lack of
practical facilities for education that
should train backward children to
self support, is one cause why many
go on the wrong track. More gen
erous support for playgrounds and
clubs where high ideals of action are
taught, would help a lot more to keep
straight.
Our cities and towns will not con
tain happy and united populations,
until those who are successful and
fortunate feel a deeper concern
about those who have had difficul
ties, and seek to provide those pre
ventive agencies that shall keep
young people from entering some
wrong or unfortunate course of ac
tion.
THE RESULTS OF OUR FIGHTING
“We had to go in, but we did not
get what we were fighting for”, was
the remark relative to our part in
the World war made by Senator
Couzens of Michigan, who has just
returned from Europe. Many peo
ple will feel that this is the truth.
President Wilson thought that
this country entered the war to
make the world safe for democracy,
but that point of view was a little
more idealistic than the facts. Our
people went in because they felt
that the actions of the German gov
ernment were a menace to the whole
world, and that that power must be
put down. As far as that went,
the ends of the war were achieved.
But our people also believed, that
if this menace were crushed, then
the insanity of war would be so
obvious that all people and races
would be content hereafter to lay
aside these violent ways of settling
disputes. That expectation has been
woefully disappointed.
It is a strange state of things,
when all the people of the world
long for peace, that they can’t get
it, but persist in following courses
that increase antagonisms and
threaten future wars.
Here is a condition to which the
American people can not be indif
ferent. It hurts us on the economic
side, it arouses our utmost com
passion, it threatens to involve us
in future wars. Opinions differ as
to what our people should do about
it. But all will agree on this, that
our government should strive to be
the mediator between the hatreds of
Europe. ‘“Blessed are the peace
makers” was the word of the Savior
of mankind. The American people
have laid down the weapons of war
having secured from them only par—‘
tial rewards for their vast sacrifice.
Now let us use the methods of peacei
with as much energy and earnest
ness as we put into our fighing.
Considering the wisdom with
which the village hang-out loafers
tell what the government ought to
do, it is strange that congress does |
not resign and let them do it. '

WHAT MAKES A COMMUNITY
The word “‘community” has come
into general use of late, and it las
an inner meaning that may be hid
den to some.
Community comes from a word
meaning common. It is a place
where people realize that they have
common interests, and that they
must work together for common
ends.
The old time country town hardly
did that. It was not, really speaking,
a community. Every man went
about his own business, It did not
occur to them to pool their interests
and join forces, and get things done.
So they just drifted along and got
nowhere. The modern town begins
to progress on that date when it
wakes up from just being a town,
and becomes a community.
S e B
ONE SIDED PEOPLE
There are many folks whose opin
ion on any given set of circum
stances can be predicted in advance
with perfect accuracy. If they arc
Republicans, everything the Repub
icans do is all right. Everything
the Democrates do is all wrong.
Similarly if they are Democrats,
their opinions are equally fixed in
wdvance.
Certain people in any industrial
sontroversy always take the capital
istic point of view. They denounce
all organizations of wage earners as
1 challengre to the diseipline of socie
ty, and declare that the country is
zoing to its ruin as the gesult of the
“More- pay and less work” spirit.
On tte other hand are the extreme
radicals, who look at everything
from a view of class warefare. They
find that the capitalists are always
wrong, they are robbers and para
iites on society, also that the wage
carners are always right, and strivc
merely for economie justice, which is
11l they ask.
People with these fixed notions
could not possibly get a new idea
into their heads. They will go to
cheir graves with these immovable
opinions.
Life is bigger and broader than
these narrow opinions. The world
is gradually advancing, and there
are good folks and bad folks in all
‘lasses. The possession of money
loes not necessarily make a man a
rascal, and lack of it does not neces
sarily make him lazy and indolent.
Human society is full of oscilla
tions. At one time the greatest
peril may come from one political
party and one element of people.
When that party or that element
xets too much power, it in turn be
romes arrogant and over reaching.
The man who wants to be a gooc
citizen must be an original thinker
ind a constant reader of the news,
so that he can know what is going
on and be able to weigh men and
avents impartially,
A TOWN'’S SIDEWALKS
A great deal is said nowaday:
ibout good roads, but not so much
‘s heard sbout good sidewalks. It
nay be said that the majority of peo
le own automobiles now, and that
hey are more interested in having
Jhe money put into highways. But
the number of people who do not
own cars is still very great. Aiso the
wutomobile owners are walking a
rood deal, and they ought to for
the benefit of their health.
There is nothing that makes a
town look more finished, more up
0 date, more comfortable, than ¢
system of well hardened walks cover
ing its entire residence district.
A town that leaves its residence
listriets unprovided with seme form
of paved walks, may be extremely
beautiful. There are some of the
handsoemest towns in this country,
where all the money has been put
into beautiful homes, but where for
soime reason or other, the people do
not seem to care much for walks
Perhaps they walk but little and ave
accustomed to go everywhere by
automobile. If they do not care for
walks, all right. But to the ordinary
run of people such a community
seems lacking in a vital part of its
equipment.
A good system of walks adds tre
mendously to the comfort of people
'who must go back and forth to their
work and the town center on their
own feet. They can walk more easi
ly, cover more distance, they are
encouraged to depend on their own
powers of locomotion of automobiles.
This promotes their health and vigor.
It helps a town to grow to run
walks well into the outlying dis
tricts. People will buy up inexpen
sive lots and erect houses on them,
if they are close to a hard walk
that makes the access to the town
center easy. Building sidewalks isl
a policy that pays abundantly. .
