NEIGHBOR DAYS PASSING

Will the dictionaries Il hundred
years he nee have Tire wo1C
"neighbors" marked as obsolete?
Newspapers in Baltimore told
the other day of the death of a
dear old woman from heart failure
when she heard the announcement
of the death Of an equally aged
man who had been friend of hers
and whose family had been init
mate with her family for years.
This woman was in feeble health
and probably any shock would
have killed her.
For years these families had
lived in the same locality and had
been the best of friends. Real
neighborliness prevailed among
them and among other residents
of the same vicinity that made
life worth living. Years ago,
before modern methods of living
had changed so much the condi-
tions Of intercourse between per-
suns, 1t was no uncommon thing
to have a whole square of resi-
dents on such good terms that
they mingled together like one big
family.
With the com ing Of the modern
apartment house and the intro
1uction Of so many improvements
in housekef ping which makes
eachfamily independent of every
one else with incre lsed facilities
for getting by a private messenger
each and everything that any
emergency may require if it can't
be procured by telephone or an
electric push button, one feels no
need for neighbors in the scheme
of existence.
The time when mother took her
mending and went over to sit a.
while with some i'll neigIbor has
gone. The trained nurse take S
her place--as a nurse for the sick.
But the little act of neighborli-
ness this ministration to the i'll
and suffering stood for has found
no equivalent.
NeighbOrs are of absolutely no
use In the modern scheme of
things and neighborliness has
naturally died.
There was time when the
problem of what to do with the
children while mother went t.
market or to her dressmakers'
could be solved only by the neigh
oIliness Of ones ueighb ,rs, unless
one CHANGED to live in the vicinity
OF ones relative. Now. II there is
no competent person to leave in
chhrge OF ones little brood
mother stays herself or the child.
rem are sent to play kindergarten
which in many cities. Is rapidly
taking the place of the well-to-do
child that the free day nursery
has long had for the poor child.
There can be no doubt that the
changed con tiitons Of living are
responsible for the decay Of the
good eomrsdeship and good fel.
lowship that once existed between
families thrown together by
chance and similar tastes in
locations and landlords.
Not yet has any new need arisen
to bring neighbors back into the
old relations Of inter-dependence,
and 80 stories Of neRhborliness
like the ono told above grow fewer
and fewer.
There Is something a little
touching in things, even whom

A Wrong Choice.

There Is no act, nor option OF act
possible. but the wrong deed or option

league success.
May Become Nonpartisan.
They will not permit dictation from
small group of men at Washington
or anywhere else. For the most part
the people are not partisans or, at
least, are less partisans than ever be-
fore. They can be depended on TO
make of the league a popular, broad.
nonpartisan organization, devoted to
principles rather than TO men, TO poll
cies rather than to factions. They will
give honor where honor is due and will
find those who are honestly, unselfsh-
ly for them.
One of the most hopeful planks in
the league platform is that favoring 4
corrupt practices act. This suggests a
practical work that could be taken up
by the body at once There is now
starting crusade against the buying
and selling of votes. 1t has already
appeared in Adams county, O.: Dan
vile, ILL.,, and elsewhere. An organiza-
ton like the Progressive league could
powerfully advance this work. Nor
could it render a more important serv-
ice. Until elections are purged no con-
reform elsewhere is possible.
So long as there is bribery at the polls
there will be bribery in legislatures,
in congress and in official life.
Whether or not the Progressive
league means new party time alone
can determine. My greatest faith is
In God Almighty and the common peo-
pie. These can be depended on to
work out the problem. If new party
is needed for the salvation of the re-
public and for the advancement of true
then be assured 4 new
party will come.
