Conserve Common Sense.

SIS not the present, as we have
seen, exceptionally secure? What.
then, of preparations for the future?
Patriotism is the basis of our insti-
tutions. And patriotism in the minds
of our youth is no longer linked solely
with fireworks and deeds of daring. 1t
is taught in our schools. A new
course has been added-a course In
loyalty. Methodically, our children
learn how to vote, how to conduct
primaries, conventions and elections,
how to discriminate between qualifica-
tions Of candidates and, finally, how
to govern as we'll as serve. They are
taught to despise bribery and all
forms of corruption and fraud as
treason. Their creed. which they are
made to know by heart, is not COM
pick. 1t is simple, but comprehen-
sive, no less beautiful in diction than
lofty in aspiration. These are the
pledges which are craven. upon their
memories:
CAS- it is cowardly for a soldier to
run away from battle, so It Is coward
ly for any citizen not to contribute
his share to the well-being of his
country. America is my own dear
land; she nourishes me, and l will
love her and do my duty to her,
whose child, servant and civil soldier
I am.
"As the health and happiness Of
my body depend upon each muscle
and nerve and drop Of blood doing
it's work in it's place, so the health
and happiness of my country depend
upon each citizen doing his work In
his place.
"These young citizens are our
hostages to fortune. Can we not
safely assume that the principles AMI
mating their lives augur well for the
permanency of the Republic? When
before have the foundation stones
of continuance been laid with such
care and promise of durability?
1.-THE future, then, is bright. And
the present? But one thing is need
full. No present movement is more
Iaudable than that which looks to
conservation of natural resources.
But let us never forget that the great
est inherent resource of the Amer
lean people is Common Sense. Let
that be conserved and applied With
out cessation, and soon it Will be
found that all the ills of which we
complain but know not of are only
such as attend upon the growing
pains of a great and blessed country.

COUNTRY ALL RIGHT
A STRIKINGLY STRONG ARTICLE
BY COL. HARVEY.
THE WRITER Sees NO CLOUD
"A Plea for the Conservation OF
Common Sense" That Is Meeting
With Cordial Approval.

A strikingly strong article by Colo
mel George Harvey in the North
American Review, for September. is
written in a view of such hopeful
ness for the American future that it
has attracted wide attention. The
article is entitled, "a Plea for the
Conservation of Common Sense" and
it is meeting with the cordial ap-
proval of business men of all shades
of political opinion throughout the en-
tire country. In part Colonel Harvey
says:
"Unquestionably a spirit of unrest
dominates the land. But, If it be
true that fundamentally the condition
of the country is sound, must we
necessarily succumb to dependency,
abandon effort looking to retrieval
that only threaten? Rather ought
we not to analyze conditions, search
for causes, find the root of the dis
tress, which even now exists only in
mems minds, and then, after the
American fashion, apply such rem
edies as seems most likely to produce
beneficent results?
Capital and Labor Not Antagonistic.
1.-THE Link that connects labor with
capital is not broken but we may not
deny that it is less cohesive than 1t
should be or than conditions war
rant. Financially, the country is
stronger than ever before in it's his
tory. Recovery from panic so
severe as that of three years ago was
never before so prompt and compare
lively complete. The masses are
practically free from debt. Money is
held by the banks in abundance and
rates are low.
"Why, then, does capital pause
upon the threshold Of investment?
The answer, we believe, to be plain.
1t awaits adjustment of the relations
of government to business. . The
sole problem consists of determining
how government can maintain an
even balance between aggregations
of interests, on the one hand, and the
whole people, on the other, protect
ing the latter against extortion and
saving the former from mad assaults.
1.-THE solution Is not easy to find
for the simple reason that the stu
alton is without precedent. But Is
not progress being made along sane
and cautious lines? -

MAN HAS A RIGHT

Case.

Chicago, April ga man has d

The law expects him to, and makes

when attorneys representing Mrs.
Jessie J. White, who is suing her hus-
band, Charles W. White, for divorce
asking that the latter be compelled to
pay her SIS a week temporary alimony
Judge Chetlain also said that man
was not obliged to spend all of his
earnings on his wife and children. 1t
was charged by Mrs. Whites attorneys
that White, although receiving a large
salary, owning $4,000 automobile
and paying chauffeur large salary,
paid his wife only $40 a week tempo
rary alimony. 1t was then that Judge
Chetlain ruled that man was entitled
to squander a little money if he chose.

GET READY TO TELL
HIM ALL YOU KNOW.
Questions Census Man viii
Soon be Asking.

1t is but matter of few days now
before the census enumerators will
be at work in Americas. Not a house
will be Sighted, if they do their duty
faithfully and efficiently; not an in
diyidual but will be counted, his or her
age jotted down, and other facts per-
tanning to the population carefully Sc
cured, to be classified later by the
enumerating machines at Washing
ton.
The enumerators are under oath not
to diyulge any of the information i'm
parted to them. If they are known
to do so, they are liable to heavy
fine and imprisonment. The lady of
uncertain years need not, therefore,
fear that her age will be divulged to
others. She can tell the exact truth
with feeling of confidence that the
enumerator will not even dare to tell
his own wife. No one ever gets be-
hind the records except the officials,
and the age can be changed for local
consumption at any time with abso-
Lutte immunity from detection.
The questions that are asked are
not difficult to answer, but require
some little time. Here they are:
First enumerator writes on his blank
the street and number of your house.
Then he asks how many families
live there.
Now you must give name of each
person of your family who lives with
you on April Is. He enters surname
first then the given name and middle
initial. He omits children born since
April Is.
Then the questions will come as fol-
lows:
Tell the relationship of each person
in the family to the head of the family.
Tell their sex.
Color or race.
Age at last birthday.
Whether single, married, widowed or
divorced.
Number of years of present mar
riage, if married.
How many children born and how
many now alive.
Place of your birth.
Your fathers birthplace.
What year you immigrated to the
Unitedt Safes, if foreign born.
Whether you are naturalized or
alien.
Whether able to speak English, or if
not given language spoken.
What's your trade, or profession, or
job?
What is the general nature of the in
dustry, business or establishment
where you work
Are you an employer, employee, or
working on your own account?
If you are an employee were you

How many weeks were you out of

Surprising Facts About the Patent
Medicine Business.
(From Des Moines Capital.)

"The Fourth Estate" has been warn
ing publishers about the risk in al
lowing credit to new medicine con-
Germs. 1t it said that there has been
only one or two of the thousands of
new proprietary medicine houses that
have made any considerable money
that have started the past twenty
years and only a few more that have
met with even moderate success. 1t
is the general impression that the
business is immensely profitable while
the facts are that there is a larger
percentage of failures than in any other
line. The new concerns usually start
with lots of confidence in the merit of
their goods and advertising but soon
exhaust their capital leaving dealers
who have stocked their medicines with
unstable goods on their shelves. 1t is
the experience of many publishers
that have accepted this new business
that they have been compelled to
charge off their bills to profit and loss.
There are many old and reliable
medicine houses that continue to do a
good or increasing business from
year to year but the new ones are
finding it more and more difficult to
become established
