AT HoME.l
Says the Chicago Tribune:

President Wilson was en-
unciating verNidealistic foreign pol
icy in Mobile, Mr.. Oswald Willard, ed-
itor of the Evening Post, a former If
not present champion Of Mr. Wilson,
was attacking him vigorously for the
administrations policy of segregat-
Ing the negro employees OF che govern
ment.
"S0mehow the c~oinciderce-fs barb
ed. It would be more inspiring to
read Mr.. Wilson's declaration that
We must prove ourselves the Latin
Americans friends and champions
upon terms of equality and honor II
we were not reminded at the same
moment by Mr.. Willard that Mr.. VIII
son is counterancing race discrimina-
tion in his w country.
That the administration Is unable
to defend segregation of negro em-
ployes and is perhaps ashamed of it's
concession to southern race prejudice
ia virtually confessed by Secretary
McAdoo In his remarkable appeal to
Mr.. Willard to withhold his criticism
as 'an injustice to a Just man
"Mr. Willard was right in refusing
to withhold criticism. President Will
son, we are allsanxious to believe, is
q just man, but ii he is he will not
ask immunity from criticism for what
is a policy Of injustice. Segregating
negroes is unjust. It deepens the line
Of social discrimination against them.
IT ~Officialfzes race ,prejudice. 1t is
contrary to the spirit OF the cohsti-
tuition to say nothing Of the. work of
President Wilson'S political patron
saint, the Declaration OF 1ndepend-
ence."
The president is In d disadvaiitag-
cons position. Verify IT may be be-
lieved that he is governed by some
such humanitarianism as w&s preach
ed by Lincoln. But the great differ

hostility OF the democratic party to
the colored race. And II he were to
place the negro on an equal footing,
In the eyes Of the government, with

against him within his own party.
Thus, whensthe president breaches
OF morality in dealing with the child

certain to be confounded by the con-
tempt OF this same morality shown
In the policy Of the democratic party
toward the equally childlike negroes
In this country.

APPRECIATION OF
CHE HOME GOWN

A great many people seldom
stop to consider how much their
town means to them. They take
too much for granted, and in
counting up their assets they
make a sort of superficial inven-
tory that fails to credit the source
from which many of their greatest
benefits come.
1t is easy to overlook the home
town in summing the sources of
ones happiness and prosperity, be-
cause the town is a large, allen
veloping something, to the average
citizen, and he blindly draws sus-
tenace from it like an infant from
its mother.
Traced to their source, most of
life's blessings will be found to
have their root in that aggrega-
ton of human beings and human
interests known as a town.
The town is the unit of modern
civilization, and is the channel
through which civilization confers
its greatest benefits.
There is scarcely a phase of civ
ilization that does not find direct
and specific expression in the life
and organization of a town that is
large enough to have good schools
and churches, a bank, a newspaper,
a mill or factory, a library and a
railroad station.
Representing education. litera-
ture, finance, industry, religion.
hygiene, art, and the speedy dis
tribution of intelligence and COM
modities, these institutions express
all that is highest and best in hui
man achievement.
If civilization is good, and the
home town is good, then the citi-
zens should be proud and thank
full Of it.
Instead of casting wondering
and envious glances at distant
cities, let us glow with pride for
our own little city, realizing that
tine difference is only one of degree
and not of kind.

are drinking men there arises the
question if the trouble was not the
result Of drinking. Sometimes it is
impossible to prove that this is
true, when it is in fact true; but
the public is coming to the habit
of supplying proofs when needed.
Men who have in their hands
the lives of others ought to be at
their very best, and no man whose
brain is befogged with alcohol is
at his best; nor ought any man
whose nerves are shattered by use
of alcohol be trusted with the lives
of others. Sobriety is required in
most occupations, but the demand
becomes more insistent every day
in those who are responsible for
the lives of others.
Good men are men of good NOR
ais. Men of bad morals are not
good men, and should not be trust
ed. The drinker, the gambler and
the man whose moral life i" shady"
becomes less desirable as people
become more intelligent. Temper
ate men are in demand, and men
who are not temperate ought to be
discharged from every position of
responsibility for the general good.
They are dangerous to themselves
but far more to the point, is that
they are dangerous to others.

COUNTRY SCHOOL
TEACHERS

The Journal last week had some.
thing to say about our home school
and the public schools in general,
and we emphasized the fact that
the public school is one of this
country's most important institu-
tons.
In this connection we reproduce
below an editorial from the Ark
ansas Gazette of Monday that is
both timely and commendable.
"The schools are beginning their
work in Arkansas now. The uni
versities and colleges and big prep
schools are opening with a flourish
that echoes in the newspapers.
This is good. But those of US who
are for more schools and better
schools and who talk the necessity
of more money for schools in Ark
ansas should keep in mind always
the schools whose openings are I'M
heralded and whose teachers are
unknown, but whose work is felt
each day in the life of Arkansas.
About this time of the year teach
ers are calling the children into
the little schoolhouses at the forks
of the creek and are giving them
those rudiments of education
which form a sound foundation
for the school work that is to come
to them later and which saves
from darkness those pupils who
will never attend a college and
who must content themselves with
only a year or two of school work
before beginning the long, hard
struggle for a living.
"Lct us exalt our teachers, but
let us not fail to exalt the hard
working, underpaid country teach
ers, as we'll as the university pro-
fessor. "
The Newark journal., 1913-09-19

If we did not make mistakes, we
would either exhibit ourself in a
dime museum as a most wonder
full freak, or go directly to heaven
as altogether unfit for this imper-
feet mundane life. But, then
we prove our humanity by
the very mistakes we make. Every
one makes mistakes in his profess
sion, but the mistakes of a news
paper man are spread out for all
to see. Then there are some per-
sons who find great pleasure in
criticising folks for their mistakes,
and if we omit an item or report
an event not perfectly correct, then
somebody will call US all sorts of
most agreeable names. But very
few persons really know what it is
to edit a newspaper, and therefore
we are ready to forgive and to
forget all manner of fault finding.
The Newark journal., 1913-09-19

The Sharp County Record has
been making some pointed re,
marks recently about State finan-
ces, but its statement that the tax
rate has not been lowered is in
correct and misleading. During
Governor Davis last administra-
ton the tax rate was reduced from
24 mills to II mills, thus cutting
off nearly one-fourth of the States
revenue. This was a serious mis-
take, and should not have been
done. But there hasn't been a SEES
sion of the legislature since with
enough courage to place the tax
rate back where it was.

There are yet many men who
