dogmas and walk in no beaten paths
and was glad to see so liberal peri
odical as The Day Book. But it is
seeming to get a tinge of politics in
favor of the north against the south.
Why this prejudice?
When people undertake criticism
they should be we1l-informed. Other
wise they display only their igno-
rance. For instance, one writer, I
do not know whether she is white or
colored, in speaking of the African
race, makes the assertion that they
were made slaves by the southern
people, when it is well known that
some northern men took them to the
south and sold them. They had TAX
en- them from their homes in Africa.
The southern people were sorely in
need of help in the cotton fields. They
were represented as barbarians, I'M
civilized and little more than animals,
which makes the progress they have
made more wonderful. .
Of course, slavery is terrible in any
form, but after all, they did not suf-
fer the priEations which the pioneers
did in making this country what it is.

A PART OF THE TOWN

Every man is a part of his town The town embraces the fortunes, and in some measures at least takes on the character of the man. Sc loyalty to one g town Is no more than loyalty to ones self; and this loyalty is on the line of all well shaped human nature. Therefore it is right to say that the man who does not stand up for his town is in some way dwarfed. There is some- thing wrong about him. His fel- lows will pass this judgement up- on him, and the chances are that while he may add to the discom- fort of others he will not escape making himself unhappy.
