PRAYERS AND NEUTRALITY

Editor Day Book:-The United
States has declared itself neutral
during the present war, and if neu-
traIity means anything at all it must
mean non-interference on the part Of
the neutral nation. In spite of this
our president has announced a day
in which all Americans shall petition
God Almighty for peace. Now, I hold
that such petitioning is not neutral
ity. If God by our prayers should be
persuaded that He was wrong in al
lowing the present terrible war to
break out and should decide to stop
it according to our wishes, then the
result is exactly the same as if we
ourselves had inteTfeTed and stopped
the war, had we had the power to
do so. Prayer for peace is therefor
not neutrality, and the attention of

be the most reliable player of the

Judged from this standpoint, some OF
the sanitary arts which do not yield "a

Clean streets, clean houses. clean
cars. clean rivers and clean harbors
have value because they tend to
make life more comfortable. more de

CIVIC AWAKENING
IN SMALL CITIES.
Examples of What It Effected Under
Widely Different Conditions.

The possibility of producing a civic
awakening in small cities under widely
different conditions has been recently
demonstrated in Petersburg, Va. and
the group of towns in northern New
Jersey of which Union Hill is the cen
ter.
Petersburg had population in 1910
of "a, l27, of whom 1l.0l4 were negroes.
The town of Union in 1910 had 2l.023
population with considerable add.
tlonal population In adjacent munich
pulities having interests in common.
In Petersburg the chamber of com
merce had rendered service which. IN
view of its limited income and the lack
of city wide support, WAS credtable.
The total income was N.l25. 1t be
came increasingly evident. however,
that the public at lnrse must give its
interest and support II the chamber
was to measure up to the needs of the
city. Accordingly II campaign of edu
cation was undertaken under the direc-
ton OF Lucius T.. Wilson and Samuel
Wilson of the American City bureau.
At the end of two weeks there were
B40 members with comprehensive
idea as to the broad functions of the
chamber of commerce, giving the or
ganizatlon an income of $500.
In Union Hill the old board of trade
had gone out of existence after turning
its effects over TO handful OF citizens,
who at once organized the Chamber of
Commerce of North Hudson. A dinner
at which the governor and attorney
general were among the speakers was
the largest attended function of this
kind ever held In North Hudson. Dur
ing the next two weeks, under the lead
ership of Lowry W. Statler of the
American City bureau, $50 members
joined the chamber More significant
even. several surrounding towns show
ed by their activity during the cam
paign that the advancement of the com
munity as whole can transcend con.
siderations that are limited by town
ship lines.-American City.
