EDITORIAL CLIPPINGS.

AFTER an existence Of two not un-
troubled years, the noted colony at
ClOusden hill, near Newcastle-On-Tyne,
England, on which many British ad-
mirers Of Bellamyism centered high
hopes, has been Abandoned. The gard
ems, meadows and residence remain, but
the sOcialistic experimenters have given
over their once cherished undertaking.
One member Of the community, an Aus
trian journalist, is free to account for
the failure Of this undertaking for the
propagation and justification Of Bel
lamyism. "The theorists who promote
it," he says-and men Of education and
intelligence gladly gave the enterprise

THE SHELBY REPUBLICAN devotes two columns of
editorial space to The Shelby Steel Tube Works.
This industry has in few years advanced Shelby
from the status of town about the size of Yelling
ton to town of quite pretentious proportions. 1t
illustrates what the harboring and nourishing of
worthy manufacturing will do for town. Equal
energy and public spiritedness manifested by the
good people of Wellington would have secured
something equally as good for our town long ago.
The endless chain of domestic reciprocity can be
exhibited thus A good manufacturing plant re-
quires employees, or men to do the work Men who
do the work require houses to live in A brisk de-
mand for houses stimulates building and sets car
penters, masons, plasterers, paperers painters and
glaciers to work, and also enhances values OF real
estate and prices of rents The people who inhabit
these houses require something to eat and wear.

Bro JOHNSON of the Elyria Reporter, thinks that
the commissioners should not permit the good roads
project to come to vote this spring, and further
says ''that all the important roads in the county
will, in few years, be PARALLEL by electric lines,
which will answer every purpose" etc. Yes,
brother, these might answer the purpose of the
people who wish to go cheaply to other towns to do
their trading, and leave their towns in the
"soup," but how about the farmers that might
want to load UP their grain and go to market when
the roads are hub deep in mud elsewhere?

Are you christianp In these days it
is at once harder and easier to answer
than 1t was few decades ago. There is
many an honest-hearted man OF God
who, among the creeds and dOgmas that
din themselves into every listening ear,
cannot lay his finger unhesjtatingly up
on this and that utterance of ecclesias-
cism to say he does or does not believe.
There are also many wholly sincere ones
who today accept doctrine they must as
honestly reject tomorrow. Many are
keeping themselves outside of church
membership because dogm lies across
their path which they cannot subscribe
to. On the other hand, the churche
are crowded with people who have
united" for every reason save that Of
accepted doctrines.
We cannot look for evidences of a
mans christianity among his articles Of
belief. We, who AZ not equal with God,
have no rightso s%fto any, you will
be saved" ''yon win be LOST" Only he
who searcheth hearts knoweth his own.
Who then amOug us are christians?
Every one who in Christ's name casts
out the devils of moral and spiritual
darkness; everyone who loves God and
his neighbor, who follows the light OF
truth as it is revealed uutO him, who in.
tentiOnally wrongs no man, who seeks
peace and pursues it, who goes about do
ing good, who follows not the letter
which killoth, but the spirit which
maketh alive-these we dare assert, are
accepted Of Him after whose name they
are called christians. Union Signal

WE have received numerous compliments on the
appearance of our ''new dress" 1t will be noticed
that we did not don our new attire all at once.
First we put on Our new head-rigging, changing
from ''THE ENTERPRISE" to "THE WELLINGTON EN-
rERPRIsE" in plain, bold-faced type. This, we
think, sets off, in better style, our upper story.
Next followed enlargement of the sheet from six
columns wide to seven columns, and about the same
addition to the length thereof These changes, to-
gether with the previous of cutting and pasting
the leaves, think add greatly to the value OF the
paper What remains now is to increase the size of
our already large circulation, and this is gradually
being done, and with the help of our patrons we
shall make an endeavor to increase the interest of
the reading matter of the its pages.
