Social Evil Universal.

Mr.. johnson took for his subject Recre-
alton as a Preventative. He dwelt largely
upon facts which have come under his per
sonal observation, and he made some
startling statements as to the extent to
which the social evil has become in
trenched. both in the cities and the rural
communities. 1t Is safe to say that evil
is universal in the cities and rural districts
alike When boys or girls have nothing
to do, they are drawn into the streets,
and this is an easy road to adventure. In
cases OF contagious diseases the board of
health is very particular to keep germs
away from the people. 1t Is just as neces-
sary to keep the people away from the
germs Vermont stands in the front rank
in this social movement, great deal hav-
ing been accomplished in this state. The
public schools should educatee the young
in morals, but the matter OF sex should be
taught in the home. The curfew law,
which IS enforced in many of the cities,
is a good thing, calling the young people
off the streets at a regular hour. We
should see to it that our moving picture
places are we'll lighted.
The father and mother are the hero and
heroine of every boy and girl. Mr.. John
son quoted Mark Twain, who said the
children's education should not be inter
fered with by their schooling, meaning
| that the child should be educated first OF
all in the home There rests the first re
| sponsibiity with the parents. 1t IS 9

of Pixies Peak it is claimed that
there is the most extended range OF

PEACE DAY AT THE
EAST BROADWAY CHURCH

The congregation left the East
Broadway church Sunday morning
with a feeling Of deep satisfaction
The peace program was extremely
beautiful, grand and sublime. If the
churches throughout the land had
such programs this nation is a diff
ferent nation today The music fur
nished by the choir took the audience
by storm; quiet and peaceful melod-
les contributed to the success of the

late production of Rodney, was
heard with deathly stiffness. Mrs.
Winston was at her best and those
who have heard her know what that
is. The addresses by Messrs. War
ner, Rooney and Dr. Weaver were
exceedingly appropriate. '.The Ac-
counting by Bennett, read by Miss
Nellie Beckham, brought tears to
many eyes. Miss Ethel Haycraft and
Miss Cevie Roberts furnished the in
strumentaI music for the occasion.
The offertory music by Miss Hay
craft, full of peaceful strains, was
itself worth the hour. The church is
grateful to DIR. Weaver for prepar-
ing the program and to all who con-
tributed to its success

JUDGE LEES cA1cnALL.

Judge Lee has constructed a plat
form on which he hopes to take away
from Governor Clarke II denomination
for governor by the republican party.
He says that Clarke has become I'M
popular therefore he, Lee, is '"unalter-
ably" opposed to anything but mini
mum amount Of taxes being imposed
and yet he believes that the republic
can party is a progressive, constructive
party hence he favors an extension
Of trade schools thruout the state, but
how this is to be done upon a mini
num- Of taxation he does not explain.
Then he has appropriated from ma

which he offers to the farmer vote.

lust LEAVE IT 10 U. 5. A.

Euerta will salute the flag; so say
yesterdays dispatches. II he does so
perhaps that will close the incident.
In some ways 1t Is rather pity.
After having coming to the point of
spanking Mexico there will be some
regret that we shall not 60 on with the
job.
However, it was worth while, this
excursion of naval force 20 Mexican
waters. Whatever some politics play
ing congressman may say it was not
an exhibition Of Recommendation" I'M
less Of that sentiment that insists on
due respect to the American flag. 1t
will also give any and all nations to
understand that the waiting policy of
the United States has not been thru
lack of courage to take hold Of the sit
uation barehanded but because of the
terfere in the affairs Of another. 1t
will be better understood perhaps that
this country stands as the best judge
Of the Mexican situation and proposes
to remain so.
English complaint that "fancied in
suit" to the flag sent American war
ships hurrying south while the Benton
incident was ignored deserves small
attention. Benton, who should have
been a citizen of Mexico, went out to
war and was slain. Benton suicided.
For when he took his pistol and sought
Villas camp with a mouthful Of threat is
he should have known what would be-
fall. British comment is not entirely
free nowadays from resentment over
the canal situation nor is it entirely
free from the influence Of the British
oil company which is fighting for con-
troll of Mexican oil fields.
The notice has been served. We can
take care of the situation without
help and propose to do it. Moreover it
is evident that Mexico will not have
much farther to go in order to strain
the patience Of this country to the
breaking point
