BOOSTING.

Would you like to be thought
stronger and more resourceful than
the average man? Would you like to
have others admire you and look up
to you? The recipe is simple. Have
something good to say about every
body, about your neighbor, and
about your town. Boost, even if you
have to go out of your way to boost.
Lend a helping hand. Have word
of encouragement always ready for
the fellow who is down on his luck
People will think then that you can
afford it; that you're successful and so
prosperous that you can see only
good in everything. 1t is the man
with the petty grievance-the small
man-who knocks. Remember that,
and try to be above small things. A
good deal of the old feudal idea still
remains. The ancient lords could af-
ford to be magnanimous. Their mot
to was "Noblesse oblige." Their no
bility gave them certain responsible
ties. They were the leaders. People
looked up to them and depended on
them. That "Noblesse oblige" is a
good motto that the everyday man
can adopt today, even when there are
no hereditary lords. 1t is motto that
the everyday man can adopt and pro-
fit by it. If you keep boosting every
where you go, others will uncon-
sciously recognize in you a leader
They will put you down as man who
helps because he is stronger thar
others. IF you don't believe this, try
it for while and see if it's not so.

HELPFUL TO THE SOUTH,
ANYWAY.

Democrats are inclined to talk vol
ubly about the great benefits accruing
to the business of the country from
the operations of the Federal Reserve
bank system. If they are Southern
Democrats, they have a sound sec
tional basis for so declaring. The
December bulletin of the Federal Re,
serve board furnishes additional evil
dence that the South is the chief
beneficiary of the new system.
According to this bulletin there are
7.64o member banks in the Federal
Reserve system. In November 7o6, or
little more than ten per cent of them
took advantage of the rediscount pri-
vilege, which is the chief means of
help to the business man. OF this
number, 3So, or neary half, came from
the Southern districts of Richmond
Atlanta and Dallas. In volume of
business transacted the percentages
are even more impressive. The Rich
mond bank had 2l.7 per cent of the
total rediscounts for the month; At
lanta has % per cent; Dallas has Isl
per cent. The three Southern reserve
banks combined had 60.4 per cent OF
all the rediscountS in the entire coun-
try. Boston and New York had less
than one per cent each, and Chicago
had only 81 per cent.
The next time we hear a Democrat
boasting what great thing the Fed
eral Reserve system is for business we
shall move to amend so that it will
read, Southern business"

REFORMATION AND SANITY.

Gradually we are coming to san
er attitude in our reformations. A
few. years ago when the magazines
were undertaking everything and
everybody, we became frenzied in our
determination to clean things up and
clean them in a hurry In our zeal
we had legislatures and city councils
pass hundreds of reformatory laws
that have proven utterly worthless as
corrective measures. Now there is
an insistent demand from thinking
rural newspapers for fewer laws and
less lawlessness,-for more sanity in
lawmaking and less insanity in law
enforcement. There are still some re-
formers who demand absurd and I'M
enforceable laws to further their ideas
of morality or to advance themselves
politically. But the day of the re-
former is rapidly passing and the
dawn of constructive craftsmanship is
breaking. The statesmen of the flu
ture will have to answer in practical
way to his constituents. No longer

Gag the advancement of the pee-pul
or the grand old bird whose wings
trail in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans
and whose beak dips in the waters Of
the St. Lawrence and whose tail
feathers trail in the Gulf of Mexico
We want no more bombastic oratory:
we demand facts and figures and re-
suits. When politician recommends
the PASSAGE Of certain laws. we will
Look to him for good results from
these laws. " he is instrumental in
the PASSAGE Of laws which restrict our
Eberties, increase our taxes and brine
in their train law violation and dis
respect for law. that politician must
answer to the people who put him in
power We want no more perfervid
rerorationists; we want doors. We
want no more ouacks with nrescrio-
tons; we demand doctors with cures
