What can you expect from organic.

church that has for its foundation
homes thus despoiled? u
The home is society's starting

You can not build up sturdy. hon

are shiftless, disloyal and void Of
character.
If you want thrift in the state you
must first have it in the homes that
constitute the state. .=..=
II you want fair, just and unselfish
administration Of the affairs OF state
you must have those qualities in the
homes from whence come your cleo

If you: expect religion to exert an

IS THIS The TREND OF The TIMES?
EDITORIAL BY 6. B. BIoRNsoN, OF MINNEo1A MASCOT

There is no doubt that a Saving
sense of humor" has saved many q
man. -
To be able to see the bright side
of things, to be able to see and ap.
preciate the silver lining Of the dark
clouds is, if not saving grace, al
least a saving talent. -.-
But, if we admit, as we must, that
there is a saving sense of humor, we
also admit that there is a saving
earnestness as we'll.
That life is real and earnest brooks
no contradiction.
The trend Of the times in which we
live Is to substitute saving sense Of
humor for a saving sense of truth.
From nearly every quarter comes
the cry that the youth Of the day is
not measuring up in kind and quail
ity with the youth of the past.
This is all dream-the youth Of
today, when it comes to quality, is as
we'll equipped as the youth of any
time ever was.
The trouble is not with the youth
The trouble is with the parents.
The parents have ceased to require
of their children that they obey, that
they work, and that they spend theil
time at home-that is to say the av
'erage town and city parents have.
There are people going up and
down the country preaching some
silly sentimentalism about amuse
ment for the young folks.
If anyone dares to question ever
the extreme tenets of their hair
Drained humbuggery he or she is put
down as an ignorant back-number.
These people are agitators and the
consequence is that their theories
gain publicity and their ideas are &C
cupying the center of the stage fol
| the time being.
The result is that at present the
| superficial thought action of the aver
age parent is in the direction Of
| amusement.
Amusement has come to occupy the
| nrst place in the consideration of. s
great number.
The teaching profession-the vas
majority youth brought up under this
very condition with it's false emphas
isis filled with advocates of thu
amusement system, filled with me1
and women whose saving sense O
humor' has become a destroying
! passion for play.
The schools all over the land arr
suffering from this amusement cpl

It has invaded the home and thu
community life and it is responsible

church and the school.
siT This has opened an avenue for fad
dists and cranks, and they have work.
ed it to the limit. I. s= ===...=.
These same faddists will raise all
manner Of questions about til e
church: ..sz
why, they ask, do not men go to
church? 2 Why lis it so difficult to
raise funds with which to. do the work
Of religious organizations Why has
the church lost it's influence in the
community and its power over men ?
Ss If we may presume to answer let it
be- follows:
1t is because the same sense Of ir.
possibility pervades the church
circles that has taken hold Of the soc.
ial5 and domestic circles
Religion has been removed from
the home to the church, just as the
child has been ransplanted- all
practical purposes from the home to
the school. 5. ..*.s T. -..s5 s,- :.
The trouble with the church is that
It has too much religion--it has all
the religion of the whole parish, or
community shut up within it's four
walls People take their religion to
church, when they join, and then
leave. it there-just as they would
bring a potted plant to dollhouse. Z.
When religion was taken out of the
home when men ceased. to pray and
the home altar was stored with the
relics and the old furniture in the at.
tic then it was that the decline OF
the church began. s =
When there is religion in the
homes of the congregation there is
nothing the matter with the church.
!; An empty church treasury, and an
underpaid ministry do not go together
with a living faith in the homes of the
parish. ~~..
That condition prevails only when
all the religion of the congregation il
stored, locked up in the church and
none of it brought back to the home.
The amusement craze, referred tc
in the first half of this article, is re-
spOnsible for much of this-respon
sible for the deterioration of the
home
Men have invented all manner OF
excuses for staying away from home
and the women have finally become
tired of staying on the job alone and
they too have with one accord begun
to make witness the socials
the parties, the theatres, the "socia
centers,' and the fashionable clubs
that have followed on the heels Of
the lodge and the smoker"
With father and mother "doins
their duty" to the lodge and the clul
the children have found home more
t or Tess. Of a cold, cherries, walled-i1
affair and they too have taken to thu
!, outside world. -. -. E.
The consequence is that in far to-
many instances home has become al
uncomfortable, small lodging house

erage youth for aught but that which
amuses. s I ss. ED IS # es=z S$
Another problem to be taken into
consideration in this connection is
that parents have, to great extent
turned over the bringing up Of their
children to the public schools.
II the parents are of religious
turn of mind, or, belong to a church
they expect the minister and the Sun.
day school to take care Of the relig.
ious training Of the child.
The minister, who prabably seldom
comes in contact with the child, and
the Sunday school that has the child
for one hour once a week, are expect
ed to see that the child has good and
sufficient religious training.
Beyond the furnishing Of clothing
and food the average parents seem tc
think that their responsibility fol
rearing their children does not ex
tend. r.
Home, to the average boy and girl
is a place to go to when they can no,
go anywhere else. sz- E.
If there is work to do at home-su
posing that there are homes that re
,, quire work of, their children-the boy
or the girl expected to do it is gener
ally too tired from play to tackle the
job ts.:..-
And why should they work? Is il
not preached to them from every
quarter that the community merely
exists for. their amusement?
The question is not how to get the
young people to do some useful work
but rather how to make the old folks
useful as catering clowns.
And then there are those who
blame the young folks for all this! 8
Nothing is more absurd.
The young folks are simply the vic
Tins of this condition. condition
for which. their parents are respon
sible. =. :. Z z.. .1
The parents have listened to the
mushy, sentimental drivel Of the ex
tremists in this matter and have al
lowed things to drift. :,
The consequence is that the sturdy
character that grew up under thu
! more strenuous discipline of the pas
! is not nearly as general as it was.
! It is not the child but the paren
that is to blame.
:. It is not the. school but the home
that creates and encourages thlt
school conditions and which make;

ATTORNEY GENERALS
 OPINION OF REQUEST

Little Rock, Aug. 11-Through an official opinion rendered by Attorney General w. l.. Moose at the request of H. $. Mobley, the president of the Arkansas Farmers Union, the man who sells his cotton to the Southern Cotton Corporation, with the hope of getting 15 cents per pound for it, does so at his own risk.
 The Southern Cotton Corpora tion has been doing business in Arkansas for some months, agreeing to pay 15 cents for cot ton, delivering script against the weight of the cotton delivered to the company, to be redeemed, with interest, when the cotton is sold. One form of contract calls for part payment, at market prices for the cotton, the balance being issued in script to be taken up when the cotton is sold.
 Attorney General Moose states the man who delivers the cotton to this concern, accepts script for it, and the cotton passes from his control, so he has noth- ing to fall back upon but his con tract. He points out that II the cotton is not sold, the farmer cannot expect to receive any thing.
 It has been stated that the con- cern would be prevented from doing business in Arkansas un- der the Blue Sky law, but At torney General Moose says this law has nothing to do with the The Blue Sky Law pretains to only investments and the sale of stocks. The state is without authority to prevent the company's doing business in the state, but the warning should be sufficient for the farmers, for if they do no business with the con cern, it will be driven from the state through lack of business

 Store, Against Her Will.

Los Angeles, Aug. 9.-As the result of an enforced ride in delivery wagon belonging to him, last Septem- Der, Mrs. Anna Rifle, young ma tron, was awarded judgment here for $2,500 against Arthur Let's, one of the city's wealthiest merchants.
 According to the evidence, Mrs. Rifle, after an argument over a c. o. D. delivery from the Let's store, was beaten by w. H. Withrow, a driver for Let's, and locked in the delivery wagon for more than an hour, while Withrow drove her about the city. She sued for $25, ,000.

A town, to be a "good" town, must have good stores-s stores that handle large assortments and offer the sames values and styles at the same prices asked elsewhere.
 Good local shopping facilities, however, depend entirely upon the extent of patronage accorded merchants by community con- Sumers.
 Those who live in the smaller towns often say they are forced te shop elsewhere, because their local stores do not carry the specific articles they want. If these people would make their wants known to their home mer- chants, in nearly every case, these merchants would supply them.
 Bear in mind that a portion of every dollar spent in your local stores applies to the building and maintenance of your schools, churches, good roads, streets and sidewalks-in fact, every i'm. provement that goes to make your community attractive from every commercial and sociai standpoint.

If you have children to edu- cate; if you are interested in re- ligious matters; if you own a home or other property in your community, you should patronize your local merchants whenever practic able. It is to your inter- est to do this.
 Of course there are merchants in every town who will not carry standard lines and who expect their customers to buy their un- known goods at standard prices; however, there are progressive merchants in every locality who handle brands that are sold everywhere at uniform prices, whose quality is known to all who read and keep up with the times.
 Trademarked Advertised mer chandise always offers maximum values and can be secured in smallest towns to as good advan- tage as elsewhere.
 No manufacturer will put his name and trademark on an arti- cle and then spend large sums of money advertising it unless his goods come up to his claims in Ievery respect.

STATE UNIVERSITY
 GROWS IN POPULARITY

slty Can be a stranger in city where sentiment in favor of high CT education is so strong and where loyalty and pride in the states leading educational insti- tuition ale so. keenly felt as in the city of Prescott. We are glad to state to the citizens of this com. munity that the University of Arkansas amply deserves the confidence of the people in whose service she is devoting her best energies.
 With the introduction of trades courses that will enable worthy young men to equip themselves for the most practical activities of life, the Board of Trustees of the University of Arkansas have rendered the state very great service.
 The addition of a department of home economics and the i'm proved facilities of the short courses in engineering will also enlarge the usefulness of the school to the people of the state and help to fulfill the expecta- tions of all who justly believe that the ultimate aim of univer- sity should be concentration and unity of effort in all directions.
 The Board of Trustees and the present administration are animated with a determined in- tention of making the institution the great educational laboratory of the state aud there is no doubt but that their effort in this di. rection will meet with unbound ed success
 The future of the university is indeed most promising and only the few who are ignorant of the excellent record the univer- sity is making in all her educa- tional activities can still doubt her present position among the higher institutions of learning and be skeptical as to her possi- bilities,
 Our state university does not intend to put any watered stock on the market. The fact that it's engineers are eagerly sought by the greatest concerns in the country and its art and science graduates competing successful ly with the best in the gradu ate schools of universities like Yale, Harvard. Johns Hopkins, Colum- bia and Chicago should be a suf ticient indication of our univer- sity's standing and sound at tainn ents.
 There is no reason why one should seek elsewhere the advan- tageS he can easily secure at home and it is evidently the duty of every citizen in the state to help in the advancement of the !institution where the youth of this and other communities is trained to meet the higher re- responsibilities of life.
 Nor should one feel any appre- hension as to the disciplinary conditions at the University of Arkansas. The authorities of the institution welcome investi- gation in this matter and Presi. dent John c. Futrall will be glad to give official assurance to all who may inquire. Last year was the best the university has had in her history. There never was before a more harmonious cooperation of all her forces l Al- 1.e z 4l,a ctato

FOR THIRSTY ONES
"Joker" in New Excise Law Per-
mits Saloons to Open After
Sunday Passes for One Hour

For at least one hour after midnight
Sunday, no one need be athirst in
Washington. according to the interpre-
tation given the new excise law by
District officials. Discovery Of the
Joker" was made today. The bill pro-
vides that the saloons shall be closed
between the hours Of / a. m. and
a. m, on secular days and all day Sun
day and inauguration day. This. it Is
held, means that barrooms must be
closed at midnight Saturday. but that
that they may reopen the stroke Of l..
on the following night, for q period
OF one hour. under the provision per-
mitting the selling of liquor until l
q. m. on week days. Whether proprte-
tors would find II profitable to open
their doors from midnight Sunday until
a. m Monday. is problematical.
The opinion expressed by District
official today was that there are cer-
tain locations where. during that limit
ed time, enough liquor could be sold to
realize a profit sufficient to pay for q
years licenee.
The question Is one with which the
present Excise Board will not have
to concern itself. The new law goes
into effect July 1, after which date ex-
else matters will be administered by .
board OF excise commissioners appoint
ed by the President.
