THE AMERICAN ISSUE
May 9, 1913.
ODD FELLOWS ga YEARS OLD

Washington D. c. April 26-All
over the United States today there
was celebrated the founding of the
independent Order of Odd Fellows,
o. years ago. This order, whose prin-
ciples are friendship, love and truth,
is one of the most popular in exist
ence, and it was one of the first to
insist that no liquor dealer should be
admitted to its membership. The
members of the order have always
set their faces steadfastly against the
sale and use of liquor and no person
who has anything to do with the
liquor business can pass its portals.
A large measure of its success is de-
clared by it's leaders to be due to its
stand on the liquor question.

WORK OF DAYTON SALOONS

Dayton, Ohio, May l. Although
the saloons of this city are legalized
and regulated, their reopening, by the
military authorities after they had
been ,.osed on account of the food,
was untimely and has resulted in al
most the complete decentralization of
the street cleaning work, according to
protests made at a meeting of about
500 citizens held at the Y. M. c. A.
When the committee appointed filed
protest with Governor James M. Cox,
he said the lid was lifted at the request
CT the citizens committee and that the
matter was out of his hands.
The new committe is now after the
citizens committee, and if the latter
does not rescind its action and again
request the closing of the saloons,
until this city has assumed beyond all
question, its normal condition, citizens
say drastic measures will be adopted
and they will seek to close the saloons
by petition and remonstrance. 1t IS
declared that there have been 1900 ar
rests for drunkenness since the sa
looms were reopened one week ago.

During the last two weeks, accord
ing to J. w. Butts, local freight agent
for the Rock Island, the receipts for
that road here in bottled goods have
been only about 20 per cent what they
were during any equal period of time
last winter.

A SOURCE OF DANGER.

1t is we'll for the United States and well for
Mexico that the four casualties of Sundays Skin
mish between United States troops and Maxcans
were in the ranks of the latter.
The death of these men may arouse the MeXi
cans to greater hatred OF the "gringoos,' but
that hatred will find vent only In curses. Had
American soldiers been killed the cry of their
blood for vengeance might well have resulted in
Intervention. The people of the United states
are long suffering, but will not tolerate the
killing of American citizens or American sol
diers Four Americans dead on the Mexican
borders might mean thousands dead on the soil
of Mexico, the expenditure of millions Of dol
lars, the paralyzing of industry and setback
in governmental reforms on the eve OF being
enacted.
The lesson to the American troops in Texas
is plain Too much care to avoid conrict OF
small moment in itself. but fraught with grave
possibilities for evil, cannot be taken The
people of this nation are sternly opposed to
intervention in Mexico They will not consider
the sacrifice of lives to save dollars, but they
are warike In spirit, however well they may
control 1t by the exercise of calmness of mind,
and jealous of their national honor. The loss of
money may be disregarded and righteous indig-
nation bottled up, but not one American life
deliberately taken will be overlooked. "A few
mean a bloody and long drawn out Re
sDonsibiiity rests heavily upon the officers of
the army near the border,

PEEyIsH MIR. MCCORMICK.

Cyrus Mccormick, president of the Inter
national Harvester company or harvester trust"
so-called. complains that the report of the bu-
reau Of corporations should be given out at this
time while the governments law suit is in pro
gress and makes much Of its "grudging" ad-
mission that the corporations profits have not
been excessive He thinks that the corporation
should be given more credit for this fact and
for the absence of water in the stock. Just
why a corporation should be praised for certain
evidences of honest business methods is not made
clear, but If Mr. Mccormick wants praise for
doing what should be done by honest business
men he is welcome TO 1t. He should not forget,
however that while the report shows that the
reason for this condition is anything but
creditable to the corporation Unfair competitive
methods In new lines cost the corporation
money and lowered the average of profits from
machines and so forth The monopoly In these
lines gave excessive dividends, but cut prices,
intimidation and other costly methods depressed
the net income from plows and other smaller
farming implements 1t would have looked bet
ter for the corporations had the dividends paid
been larger. That they were not excessive is due
to indefensible methods pursued by the corpora
tons Mr. Mccormick should confne himself to
self-eulogies based upon the fact that the cor
poraton is not over-capitalized.

Mules and the Man

Mules are gentle beasts, you know,
And so are we
Mules are satisfied to do their best
And are We
Like us they may be taught some tricks;
They do their work from six to six.
Mules when they get mad they kick
And do we,
Mules have loads to pull.
And so do We;
They are happiest when they are full,
And so are we.
Like us they hold a patient poise
And when their work is done viii rejoice,
They like to hear their voice,
And so do We
Mules are sometimes kind and good.
And so are we.
They eat all kinds of breakfast food
And so do we.
Like us they ballf at gaudy dress.
And all outlandish foolishness;
Mules are accused of mulishness.
And so are we.
We cannot of course, all be handsome,
And its hard for all to be good;
We are sure now and then to be lonesome.
And we don't always do as we should
To be patient is not always easy,
To be cheerful, is much harder still.
But at least we always be pleasant.
II we make up our minds we VIII.
And It pays every time to be kindly
Although We feel worried and blue;
If amile at the world and look cheerful,
So we must brace and look pleasant;
No matter how low down;
Good humor is always contagious
But we Danish our friends when we froWn.
1t matters little where were born,
or If our parents were rich or poor;
Whether they shrank from ~the cold world
sCorn,
Or walked in the pride Of wealth secure;
But whether we live honest men.
And hold our integrity firm in our clutch
We tell you, brother, as plain as we can,
1t matters muchi
1t matters little how long we stay
In a world of sorrow, sin and care.
Whether in youth we called away,
Or live till our bones and pates are bare.
But whether we do the best we can

TIE NEED or NEEDS.

In a well considered editorial on the need Of
needs and the necessity TO human progress Of the
desire for what one has not the Roanoke Times
falls into error when IT mourns that despite the
fact that life without needs and privations is
barren and fruitless life we persist in Sigh
ing for what We have not refusing to compre,
bend that our needs are the most valuable things
a. our livoa. Ia other words to want to de-
sire. to recognize our needs and seek to fill them
is one Of tie greatest forces IN the progress or
the world and yet we are 10 be taken to task
because We continue TO want and TO seek to fill
those needs which are urging US forward. Just
as soon as comprehend that those need needs
are in reality our greatest need progress will end
If We cease on that account to work for what
We want Wanting IS our greatest blessing be
cause We try to overcome those wants and not
because we have them.
