Extremists are always to be ta-
ken with goodsized grain Of salt.
People who hate dogs and cats and
animal pets of all sorts are con
stantly telling Us Of the dreadful
perils to which we are subjected
by having these companions about
us. One might think from the
savings Of these ''wondrous wise
~ men that the chief thing cats
and dogs had been doing through
all time had been the spreading of
disease and death BY transporting
microbes from one place to another
Suppose they do carry germs
about with them So dove. Our
street cars transport microbes.
The wind picks them up and whirIs
them into our faces. They get into
our bodies and houses by d hun

happiness within his own family
circleP
The principle is the same and
the questions equally applicab BILE to
all our fathers, whether individual,
city, state or Father Sam. Many
of our city and state fathers, to-
gether with Father Sam, stand
accused of criminal negligence ia
the minds of the moral and religi-
Gus elements of the people by
reason of the perpetuation of those
institutions that cultivate vice and
corruption throughout the nation.
Father Sam, being the highest
in authority in our government
affairs should take the initiative ia
the abolishment of laws, and the
enactment Of new laws that would
tend to suppress the cultivation Of
of crime and vice within his own
family circle.
1T all our governmental fathers
would follow the divine plan for
government, then this entire nation
would echo and re echo shouts and
songs of rejoicing among the sons
and daughters of our national fami-
"; instead of strikes, discomfort
and MORNINGS of the oppressed.
The city itemizer. (Water Valley, Miss.) 1894-1918, 1913-02-06

United States of America repre-
sents only one large family, with
the president and federal congress
acting as father or head of this
great national family, and the
relationship and attitude of our
federal parent Hereinafter called
Father Sam to our national fami-
ly, should be similar to that of an
individual man to his own family
The greatest and most valuable
asset of any family. whether it be
of an individual, city, county, state
or nation is represented by the
moral character of its members.
It is thoughtful, affectionate
father indifferent concerning the
moral character and general vel
fare and happiness of all his sons
and daughters? Surely such a
parent should direct all his family
affairs and business for the greatest
good to all his family, without
partiality or special privilege to
any member or mem bers thereof.
En- like manner Father Sam should
be equally concerned about the
moral character, happiness and
general welfare Of all his sons and
daughters and should use every
means in his power to suppress the
cultivation Of evils as much as pos
sible, and encourage the cultivation
of the great principles of life
truth, honesty, justice and moral
| ty, the proper cultivation of which
produces men and women of the
highest type. Is it not the pre-
dominant desire Of all honorable,
affectionate parents, that all their
sons and daughters grow up to be
men and women of high moral
character and trustworthy citizensP
Will not such a parent use every
means in his power to shield aud
protect his family from corropting
infuences? Would such parent
for b consideration Of money or
political power, grant license 70
any man to engage in business

Ideal Government.

All government-nationsl, state,
county and city-should be estab-
lished and operated absolutely and
exclusively upon the principles Of
domestic or family government
that will guarantee to the masses
of the people justice, happiness
and contentment. Domestic gov
ernment is of Divine origin, found
ed upon the last six of the Ten
COMMANDMENTS of the Bible, every
8one of which is based upon the
prohibition of evils, writes A. r.
Jones, in the Texas Home and
State.
Domestic or family government
has the father, who is, by divine
decree, the head or director Of his
Family. and all his family affairs.
8 City government has mayor
and city councilmen, or aldermen
(as one factor, acting in the ca
pacity Of father Of city family.
County government has county
Judge and county commissioners
as one factor, acting as father of
county family.
State government has governor
and Legislature, Gas one factor, J
acting as father or director Of a
state family.
National government has a presi-
dent and federal congress, Gas one.
factor acting as head or father Of
a national family.
The universe has the Almighty
God, the father Of all mankind,
who gave to man the proper basis
#for all government, and the only
basis for government that will re
suit in happiness and contentment|
to all the people: "Whenl the
righteous are in authority, the
people rejoice; but when the wick
led beareth rule, the people mourn.'
. prov. 20:2
This is a great truth which has
lived through all the ages, IN

At very little extra expense capa
