What America Needs.

What America needs more than rail-
way extension and Western irrigation
and low tariff and bigger wheat crop
and merchant marine and a new navy
is revival of piety, the kind mother
and father use to have-piety that count
ed it good business to stop for daily
prayer before breakfast, right in the
middle of the harvest; that quit field
work half hour early Thursday night,
so as to get the chores done and go
to prayer meeting; that borrowed
money to pay the preachers salary and
PRAYED fervently in secret for the saliva
ton of the rich man who looked
with scorn on such unbusinesslike
behavior. That's what we need now to
clean this country of the filth, of graft
and of greed, piety and big; of worship
of fine houses and big lands and high
Office and grand social functions. What
is this thing we are worshiping but a
vain repetition of what decayed nation
felldown and worshiped just before their
light went out? Read the history of
Rome in decay and you will find luxury
there that could lay a big dollar over
our little doughnut that looks so large
to us. Great wealth never made
nation substantial or honorable There
is nothing on earth that looks good that
is so dangerous for man or nation to
handle, as quick, easy, big money. If
you do resist its deadly influences, the
chances are that it will get your son. 1t
takes greater an finer heroisn: to dare
to be poor in America than to catch a
a battery in Manchuria. Street
