PULLING TOGETHER.

Each individual animal of team NAV
be strong one; but unless they pull
together, individual strength counts for
nothing. 1t counts for worse than
nothing, for when pulling apart it is
worse than if they are weaker. A
weaker team that pulls all together
counts for more,
AS an animal team so it is in man
teams. The people of city must do
team work if they are going to make
the city count for something worth
while. If there is pulling apart there
can be little, if any progress. The pull
ing OF one neutralizes that of another,
and if there is equal strength, one pull
ing in this and another in an opposi, e
direction. there must be standstill.
So of every other Organization of
mankind. 1t is so of the churches. A
church composed of membership that
is moved by cross purposes, some men,
bers holding others at arms length,
that church is not calculated to success
fully do the work which churches are
expected to do. There must be har-
mony of purpose and harmony in action.
Every one cannot hope to have his own
way at all times in all things; there
must be disposition to credit individu-
ais with pure motives until something
has been done proving to the contrary.

U. S. PENSION TOTAL FALLS OFF.

During the fiscal year from June 80,
1913, to June 80, 1914, the United
States paid out SIP, AIT, SAG in pensions,
Commissioner Saltzgaber in his annual
report made public. This compares
with STA, III $50 in 1913, the largest
amount ever paid out. The commits
sioner points out that the maximum
expenditure has been reached and a
decrease may be expected to continue.
The grand total of expenditures for
pensions from 1866 to and including
1914 was 81, 633, 511, 1926.
The number of pensioners of all clas-
ses on the rolls for 1914 was 785, 239,
against 820, 272 in 1913. The number of
Civil War pensioners was 1928, 129, COM
pared with 1852, 439 in 1918. The largest
number ever on the rolls was in 1902,
when there were 999, 1866.

A MATTER OF EDUCATION

In discouraging Americans from visit
ing Europe merely for sightseeing
purposes, the State Department is per-
forming valuable service. The depart
ment is right in deeming it inadvsable
to issue passports to persons who have
no other purpose in going to Europe
than to witness it's horrors and destruc
ton.
1t will be far better for Americans
to stay at home and see, many of them
for the first time. the wonders of their
own country. One of the peculiar
characteristics of Americans. at least
in the eyes of Europeans. is that COM
paratively few of them are familiar
with the scenic marvels of their own
home.
This is the chance for Americans to
remedy the defect which caused COM
ment in Europe. Bismark once re-
marked that patriotism stopped short
of the stomach. Doubtless that is true.
but it should not apply to question of
education.
1t is an educational opportunity
that has now been given to Amerl-
cans. The attitude of the State De,
partment makes it fairly certain that
few Americans will go to Europe for
pleasure purposes.
A trip through the West by men and
women will not only benefit the persons
making the trip, but will benefit the
nation as whole, bringing about a
better understanding and keeping at
home millions of dollars that formerly
were spent in Europe.

On the eleventh floor of the tallest
Office building in Washington, the Re-
publican Publicity Association has OPEN
ed offices. The enterprise is unique.
Never before in the history OF national
politics has an independent organization
been formed upon so broad and solid a
basis to educate the voters of the coun-
try in the principles and performances
of one party and the mistakes and alleg-
ed incapacity of another party. The
object of the new organization is thus
concisely stated in the preamble to its
constitution, which has not until now
been made public: American history
proves the wisdom of past policies and
principles of the Republican party and
demonstrates the soundness and SUI
periority of that party's constructive
plans. Believing that return to Re-
publican administration in both the
legislative and executive branches of
the National Government is the shortest
road to restoration of permanent pros
perity in both government and industry.
we hereby associate ourselves together
for the purpose of securing a wider
publicity for the achievements, policies
and principles of the Republican party,
hoping thereby to promote the indi-
vidual and community welfare of all the
American people.

FIFTY families from the Canal Zone.
Panama, will locate in Charles county,
this State. They have for the past
seven or eight years been active wage
earners. They have purchased $500
acres of land which will be cut up into
60 or more small farms. Other families
may come with them. The locating of
fifty families in any community is a
valuable asset. 1t means advance in
many ways; increase in population; in
crease in the actual force of producers,
hence large increase in productions,
and in the wealth of the community.
Fifty families added to a community
means increase in the business done by
the local merchants of that neighbour
hood. {

FROM the port of Baltimore last week
there were shipped something more
than four millions of bushels of grain,
the largest for any one week this year.
Wheat gave 1879, 1858 bushels, corn
!, 435, 070 bushels, oats 2,041, 986 bushels,
and rye 346, 675 bushels. The popularity
of this great shipment is that certain

that product is expected to grow from
