u government may hamper Individual!
and hinder progress and cause suffer.
Ing. but to say in the presence Of crime
and folly that the government is II
sor1e way responsible. and to teach
men so. is to promote criminality ano
encourage folly.
In our country innumerable forces
so,ne of them directly under the charge
OF the state. and all of them protected
by the state are at work for the bene-
fit and the uplift of the Individual. III
spite of all these many go wrong and
the weak are not made strong. Some
people go to the devil in spite of par
ents and friends, church and school
ana charitable institutions. The laws
of nature cannot he easily stayed. The
most salutary doctrine that can be
preached liz the doctrine of individual
responsibility and accountability. But
yellow journalism Is pandering to the
criininally minded and the weak mind
ed. Therefore 1t must needs coddle
all such. Therefore it tells them that
they are the victims of the state. No
better method of promoting Grimm
allty and folly could be Devised.
SAVE YOUR NlCkELS..
tBurrell IN Washington Press1
This Is for boys and girls. Many
miclSles make n muckle. You know all
about that. don't you? Dimes make
dollars. and so do nickels,--tf you let
them. Most of you give them no
chance. but they burn In your pocket
or hand. and you rush off to spend
them for sodas. candies and other
truck that really hurts you. for you
gobble EN- between meals, and stuff
yourself and wonder what gives you 81
headache and n taste in the mouth the
next morning that is like the taste of
the big sewer.
The three Meek boys and their Sis
ter saved what they made, little drbs
that. individually, looked insignificant
and ridiculous. yet after Il good while
they opened the jack pot and found
$50 In soak and they bought q jewel
of II pony well broke and harness,
and an old trap of u buggy that rides
as easy as a chariot Of the sun, and
perhaps they don't have fun galore.
Why, II they had fooled away all the
and saved. as fast az they got them.
they would not have known at the end
of the year that they had got any fun
at all out of their wages. But every
day now, and for months past. they
have barrels of fun as the result Of a
very good habit they had got into.
Etere's another case: The little
Waters kid peddled pop corn every
day, carrying a basket filled with small
paper sacks full Of sweetened corn. and
he, too, saved his nickels, and one day
the family wanted COW. which makes
n good share of the living OF the aver
age household. SO he toddled out to
Father Eckel's and looked at Jersey
COW. and when told that she was
worth $45, he counted out SIS, and
told when his hoard would let him
make final payment of 500. and he
went his way rejoicing. driving the
COW home, his property, made by
sales of corn at nickel Il paper. He
has her paid for, and the Press pats
that kid on the back and tells him he
did a whole lot better to save his
nickels for such wise use than II he
had invested them day by day for
chocolates, oranges, candies and the
like. to perish with the gobbling
Years ago, we heard Norman Ever
son tell a boy to save his money. and
not fool 1t away, and he would be sur
prised to see how rapidly 1t grew. and
he assured the lad that II he should
get into the habit of small savings. he
would after awhile feel greater pleas
ure in saving than In spending. In
deed. 1t is true. Try 1t. IL you do not
find 1t SO, come in and we will own
the corn. BY George, five dollars In
niclsels and dimes accumulated by
days Jobs or gifts, look mighty fine,
we tell you. One rarely sees a pref
tier sight.
