HERE TOO GEORGE.

We wish that Woodrow Wilson
and Tom Marshall might have one
picture taken In which they are not
grinning from ear to ear. The VIII
son laugh and the Marshall smirk
get on the nerves of sensitive repub-
licans who do not wish to see the
democratic Notification started sc
soon. The exultation of Wilson and
Marshall is premature. Grant that
they are happy over the situation the
monotony would be relieved by few
likenesses of the closed countenance
No doubt If Wilson and Marshall car
be dragged in front of a camera after
the November election the picture
will be serious enough.

IN the cities OF northern Lake
county. for instance. there Is a re-
markable absence of scandal in So
cial circles. People are too busy
with their daily pursuits to bother
about scandal. Then too If scandal
breaks out the newspapers publish
such facts as the public Is entitled to
have.
That eliminates more than the
momentary discussion of the matter.
1t protects citizens whose names
should not be dragged into the story.
1t gives no wider publicity to a
method and the paper assumes the
responsibility for the correctness of
the report.
People who think they have a
grievance against the paper which
prints the true facts about some I'M
pleasant episode in which they have
become involved may thank their
stars that they are not in Crown
Point where the papers cannot afford
to print the truth but where scores
of scandaious stories would be cir.
culated so grossly exaggerated tina,
great injustice would be done and
there would be no way of fighting
back or placing the responsibility fol
| their circulation.

DOUBLE RIDING.

We sometimes wonder IL the girls
who ride on the rear seats OF motor
cycles with men stop to think what
a spectacle they are making of them
solver and what other people must
think of them. What must mother
be doing who lets her daughter ride
in this manner? A girl who will
straddle a wheel with her dresses
over her knees, her hair dishevelled,
going 80 to so miles an hour hang
ing on TO some man isn't very edi-
flying spectacle.
Constant danger to life or limb at
tends riding of this sort. And the
intimate way in which girl has to
cling to the driver of the machine
isn't one that increases her self-re-
spect. Of late we have had a good
deal of this double riding and there
has been twelve serious accidents.
One police chief in this vicinity says
that a lot of girls ride with strange
men.
Cities and towns can regulate this
nuisance by ordinance and it ought
to be done at once.

SERVICE MEANS ACTION.

The worlds pivotal idea Is the
idea of service.
All training is valuable as it leads
directly to service and no activity is
properly directed unless 1t begins
with the idea of usefulness.
Service implies action for nothing
counts until you do it.
So far as accomplishment is con-
cerned. action is the vital thing.
Right thinking Is necessary to make
the action good, but no man has yet
learned how, by taking thought, to
add cubit to his stature. 1t is the
action following the thought. that
produces the result.
| And here Is a peculiar thing

There are hundreds of times in the
life of almost every man when he re-
fuses to act for fear the action may
force him into further and deeper
thought.

The plain fact Of the matter is
that honest. careful, original thought

DAT CROP BREAKS RECORD.

The oat crop of Henry county this
year is a record breaker. despite the
fact that several weeks ago the farm
ers were concerned about 1t. From
various parts of the county come re-
ports of phenomenal yields, very few
being less than fifty bushels to the
acre. and one farmer north of the city
had eleven acres that yielded the own
er ninety bushels to the acre. On ac-
count of the low price being paid
many farmers are holding their crop
and will use 1t for feed this winter i'll

other feed.
