The Colonel really ought to remem ber that when the great revolution which the discovery of the use? of vac cine matter brought about in the world’s health was started, not one single physician who had passed bis fourth decade, was willing to sanc tion its uMe. The tendency of old people Is to go back to Home in an en deavor to work out every thing In modern life as the Romans did. Hut. though history often repeats itself it does not always repeat Itself, or there would be no progress. Colonel Watterson takes no more stock in th<* mw fnnglod notions of thin country's duty to Mexico than did those wise old doctors who believed that the greater part of the human ra< e was born to be pock-marked and racked by that fearful and revolting disease. Progress In civilisation, as in science and in nil other directions grows out of departures, out of adventure* out of the trial of new principles and the faith of rash and earnest hearts in making this worn and grimy old world s better place to live in. civilization bus marched on. De cent and developed people can not go back t«» the days of Rome to get their tips upon how to solve modern prob lems. Christianity -that Impractical and fantastic theory of doing unto others sn we would have them do unto us -tins slowly and certainly exerted its influence upon nations and neigh* borhoods and Us influence hae soft ened the enlightened people »of the world today in ways that may seem deplorable to Colonel Watterson. and other veteran political physicians, hut nevertheless, this Impractical theory of ||\ing is working Us miracles and doing just those very things the old doctors are deciering it never hae and never will do. We Invite Colonel Watterson to >\atch out another half century and discover how these milk-sop polices of resident Wilson will work out. It In always a showy part to croak and preach disaster, bpt the prophets of optimism are those who have the heart and faith to push forward in the course that is right, whether it be the couree that Is "pr*ctlcsl" or no. ••TAINTED MONEY.” "No, 'lie mint doe# not follow the money or the article or the net IT toon possess til notion wealth, then the pro! or course In to make law* which will make tlirni disgorge. Con gres# adopts the weak oat and nu>*t cowardly kind of imsltlon whan It refuaed to take Ilockefellor's money end apply li for tha benefit of the larmers, and still let* him go right oni acounittlatlng more mono) by the Mime methods."- So asye The Path finder, a publication of Washington, I) C. All of thl* Is tpo enough. Con gress should not permit money to be acquired unless It is acquired by Just nnd square methods, but eoagree* will hate * big joh on its hand* uni c.ne that It will not eoon settle when It undertakes to cure the trouble of 111-gotten gains. The tslnt whleh follows money that Is made unjustly does not hurt the monay In the least, That commodity I.' a power that work# with equal force. In whatever direction It Is aet. but the taint of tainted money shows In blight on public moral#, which It carries Every young man In the country Is ambitious to become a great and glorious dispenser of benefit*.

INDOOR SPORTS * By Tad THE WAYS OF THRIFT CO-OPERATION SAVES A NATION. Nowhere could a better Illustration of national thrift be found than that presented by the little country of Denmark. In the early part of the nineteenth century this Is the picture It presented: a country almost destitute or rmtural resources, much of Its ten million acres ft bleak wsste of mind dune, Its commerce practically all gone, the country Impoverished by the Napoleonic wars end the peasantry In a pitiful condition. Today tlds same Denmark Is, In proportion to its population, the wealthiest country In the world. Out of every hundred families In Denmark elghty-nlne own their own houses and farms. In the United States about twenty-three per cent of the entire population own their own urban homes and about forty four per cent own their farm home,. The creation of the Peasant Farms In tuns enabled peasants who had one-tenth of the purchase price of a par cel of land to borrow from the state or co-operative savings hanks, nlne tenths on that small murKin of security. With long terniH of easy pay ments they were able to become Independent and prosperous owners, The result Is the small amount of tenancy, and the success of co-operative societies. There are approximately 240,000 farms In Denmark averaging a little over forty acres each. Of this number 611,000 contain less than one and one-half acres each. U'he Dane realised two things: first, he must not only make his land produce abundantly hut, second, he must strive to realise the highest net Income possible from his products. Co-operative buying sod selling was adopted to bring about th, latter result, and a highly perfected system is In furce. Agricultural co-operative societies seemed to spring up spontaneously, and tlie movement spread wttli great rapidity. In 1912 tlier* were 13,000 general co-operative societies; 1,200 dairying societies; 36 liacon and 030 egg dlstrlhutlng centers. The effect on retail food prices in the eatjly days "f co-operation In Denmark win » reduction of 30 to 25 per cent. The price reduction Is not quite rp obvious now as the Independent retail ers. In order to do business at all, are obliged to keep their prices about tile same is the co-operative stores. “A wise man will make tnore op portunities than he finds." Besides a greatly Improved standard of merchandise and unadulter ated goods, tlie members receive u« a rule, from five to twelve per cent on their consumption. As early as 11109 the turnover of the six export associations then es tablished amounted to over 340.000,000.Q0, In 1913 this little nation shipped a million dollars' worth of butter to Knglnnd each week. In 1909 there were eleven hundred co-operative creameries, handling prnctlcslly all the milk In the country. A few years before a group of twelve men begnn some cow testing experiments, which later were encouraged and assisted by the government, 't he following show the result or these tests and experiments: The Dan ish farmer buys feed In the United States, pays transportation charges, maintains tits tierd on high priced land and then competes successfully with ths American dairymen In the English market. More About County Unit Plan Our hat la off to the Macon News. We like te see a paper that Is not •fratd lo say where It stands. Ho I'm as we have any knowledge The News Is the first of* the Influential dallies to denounce the county unit plan. Tha Ctlleen was the first newspaper tn the state, ao far as we have any kuowl adge, to openly declare tha unit plan a fake a pawn of the demagogue and the hope of the "down-and-out." The more one studies the county unit plan the more one la convinced that there la no merit whatever tn It. In the first place, It la a reflection on the Intel! 1 genre of the voters of the small counties It Implies that ytiey are so densely Ignorant they haven't any more sense than to be used by the polttctun* who flatter and cajole them Into supporting them because they are "protecting" them aaatust the greedy politicians or' tlte large coun ties Hitch piffle might have carried weight In days gone by but certainly not In these good days Tin tlillla Star sixes the plan up ns follows: "We do not take any stock tn the story that this ts done for the protec tion of the smaller counties. We be MISSION OF THE PRESS "r. Washington Gladden tells us that the "new mission" of the press should be to "turn the thoughts of men more and more from the negative virtue of detecting and espoalng tha ev|| to the positive virtue of discern ing and praising the jp>od.*' Hi nee when has this become a “new mission" of tbs proas 1 The press has ever been an agent for the reward of virtue-—more so, In fact, than any other agency Hut for the prea# very little of the real go»d which he* developed In mod ern times, for the Inspiration and bet terment of mankind, would have been detected at all. The columns nf every newspaper carry ten times more matter "praising llev* that the advocates of tha plan desire It In order that they may have a chance to manipulate the convention. The agitation for the county unit plan cornea largely front the politician* of the cities. We distrust the Greek* even when hearing gifts." The Macon News shows with the follow ing Illustration how unjustly the scheme works: "To observe how It works, how un justly, Just note: It will be absolutely useless for a Kluton supporter tn Ful ton county to vote for Mr. FeUler. His vote will not sntount to a thing. Ho far as Mr Felder profits, it will be Just the same us If the ballot was not cast for him. That is because Hlaton will probably carry Fulton, hi* home county. Anyhow, |f he doe* carry it, suppose ha carries tt hy Jus! on* vote, all of the votes cast for Mr. Felder will go for naught. Mr. Hlaton will have Fulton's entire unit vote In the state convention."
