A National Creed.

The Chicago Herald suggests the
following as National Greed by which
the men, women and children of Ameri-
can may affirm their Americ anism:
| believe in the United States, one
and invisible; in her mission as the
champion of humanity-as the friend
of the weak and distressed: in the
singleness, dignity and inviolability of
American citizenship; in the validity of
of our national traditions; in peace
with honor; in friendship with all
nations that respect our rights; in en-
tangling alliances with none; in reason
able preparations for national defense
by sea and land; in Sinking no sacrifice
needed to hand down to the future
the priceless treasures bequeathed to
us by the past; in the necessity of
keeping the western hemisphere free
from the intrusions of European institu-
tions and ambitions; in the capacity of
free men for self-government, in the
love of home and country; and in the
unflinching resolution that government
of the people, for the people, by the
people shall not perish from the earth.

HOME TOWN BUILDING
Loss Of Population in the Rural Districts
of the United States

Why are the county towns of the
Middle West of the United States go
ing backward? 1t is fact known to
many people that during the past ten
years $50 towns in the State Of Iowa
have suffered a deci ease in population.
The rual districts of Illinois during
the same length of time have lost
1874, 900 people. The States of Indiana,
Michigan, Ohio, Missouri and Kansas
have been adversely affected in the
same way. 1t is predicted that like
conditions will in the near future pre-
vail in all states east of the Rocky
Mountains. The larger cities in those
states which have shown a decrease
in the rural districts have, during the
same time, made an astounding in
crease in population. This indicates
that the young people are growing to
dislike conditions prevailing in coun-
try towns and are leaving home to
find employment in the big cities
which attract them because of the
natural allurements of city life, or the
greater advantages which they seem
to offer the ambitious youth.
In any event. it is CONDITION which
is not we'll calculated to improve the
moral or business status of the nation.
The question which is now confront
ing the American people is, how can
this exodus from the country towns
to the large cities be checked? What
is the cause, and who can supply the
remedy?
We must all realize that a healthy
industrial growth is a prime necessity
for the failure welfare of our Home
Town and all other smaller towns
throughout the country. Without
prosperity and industry we cannot
have life. progress OF morals.
AS far as our town is concerned,
we are persuaded that we should shape
our policy so as to give our young
people chance to develop future at
home instead of making it necessary for
them to run their eyes cityward. AS a
beginning to that end the merchants
of this town must have the trade Of its
citizens and the people of the surround
ing country. If they do not get the
trade, the town will die of dry rot.
Real estate values, including farm lands
in the vicinity, will decline, The Falcon
has decided to open its columns to a
discussion of this question of home
Town Building and an article bearing
on the subject will hereafter be printed |
weekly. Contributions from our
readers are invited. We believe that
there is a remedy which will improve |
local conditions, both as to the financial
betterment and a steady healthy growth
rather than decline of the kind which
we all know is much in evidence in
many towns in this section of the
country. 1t may be true that we have
not yet been seriously affected by the
pull of city life which is depopulating
some of the smaller towns throughout
the United States, but prevention is
better than a cure.

of Mrs. A. R. Garfield, Mayoress of
Warren, Illinois, who recently visited
Chicago to learn something of the ways

Xaverian Brothers Return from
Baltimore and Take Up Re-
sidence Hire, ,.,...
THOROUGH COURSE GIVEN
Both High School Building and
the Brothers Home Great
Credit to the City.

Tuesday, September z, st. Mary,s
high school will begin its second
scholastic year. The, Xaverian
Brothers, who are in charge, have
returned from their headquarters at
Mt. st. Joseph's College, Baltimore,
and have taken up their residence in
their beautiful and commodious new
home at the corner of Church. and
Elk streets.
This handsome structure, which
has sprung up so suddenly to add or
nament and dignity to its surround
ings. is a splendid proof Of the zeal
of the Rev. P. H. McDermott, pas
tor Of the Immaculate Conception
church, for to him must be given the
entire credit for this work which
forms fitting supplemnt to the
beautiful st. Mary's high school
building.
Father McDermott and his gen
erous parishioners are making
great sacrifices for the work Of
Christian education, for it is
their unshaken conviction that
on it depends the future Of
the church and country. They un-
hesitatingly believe that IL the integ-
rity and sound morality in our social
life are to be continued and handed
down to coming generations, II wise
judges are to be given to our state
and worthy prelates to the church,
and IL good and noble fathers are to
preside over families, they must come
from Christian education and Chris
tian education alone.
Handsome Home Given.
When the Brothers came to Clarks-
burg a year ago, Father McDermott
gave them as substantial greeting
the beautiful st. Mary's high school.
This year on their return to the city,
Father McDermott and his worthy
parishioners have given them as a
no less hearty greeting their hand
some home already mentioned So
much generosity and good will on the
part Of the pastor and his people are
duly appreciated by the Brothers and
they are determined to cultivate with
great zeal the field of education en-
trusted to them.
Brother Bede, a man of ripe ex-
perience in the management of
school, comes as superior of the
Brothers and director of st. Mary's.
His success in other fields is an as
surance OF the good fruit that will
attend his labors in Clarksburg.
