A TRUE AMERICAN COLLEGE

Down in Carlinville, ILL.,, there is a
small college for self-helping young
men and young women that believe
comes nearer filling the true mission
OF education than any other college in
the country. Blackburn college goes
back in the history Of the state to the
days when education was largely a
privilege of the well-tO-do and the
self-helping young men of the time got
their learning by the light of the pine
knot as Lincoln did.
If Lincoln were boy today in Hi
nois he would find his way to Black
burn college, where he would be well
coined. He would split rails and work
on the farm for his education. He
would develop, a giant in heart and
mind, in an atmosphere that would
make the most of his wonderful nat
ural gifts without money or price.
Blackburn is finding out and devel-
oping many earnest young men and
women today. This is the third year
Of it's self-help plan and there are 1926
students enrolled, with list of wait
ing that, could they be cared for, would
bring the enrolment up to thousand
No college in the country has more
exacting qualifications as to character
ability, good health and sincerity OF
purpose. No drones, dudes, sewers OF
wild oats, papa's pets or mamma's
wayward darlings are admitted. The
students are picked young men and
women, who are not ashamed to knee
down together and say their prayers
who sing hymns, run the farm, the
laundry, the bake ovens, and the
kitchen, make the beds-in fact, de
all the work so we'll and economically

pected to pay $3.50, and 500 yea,
thereafter. Most of them earn thi:
money during the summer vacation

over until he can catch up financially

CONGRESS CANNOT BLUNDER
HERE,

The Philadelphia Ledger, comment
ing upon the statement of a Massa-
chusetts representative that he could
hardly feel like a member of Congress,
since in two years at Washington he
had failed to get anything done, re-
calls the fact that John Adams made
a similar complaint. Abraham Lin
coin returned from Congress to his
Illinois constituency, it may also be
remembered feeling that he had vast
ed two valuable years at the national
capital because he had failed to get a
single measure proposed by him acted
upon. These, however, should not be
regarded as indictments of Congress ;
rather should they be received as tes-
timOnials to its worth. Congress is
entitled to great outpouring Of pop
ular gratitude for many things it has
left undone, and for going very DELHI
erately about many things that is
has done. Yet this does not excuse
the dragging of routine business

THE MINISTER'S WIFE

Strenuous as are the first days Of
u minister's residence in a new town,
the minister has a rosy time COM
pared to the ordeal through which
his wife must pass. The minister
meets a few boss deacOns, settles the
details of the business part of his
jsb, and gets to work, acquiring
scquaintances among his congrega-
ZION as he can. But the minister's
wife must unpack, adjust the belong
ings brought from the last stop to
the new parsonage, get the children
started in school, and meet and re-
member the face and name of every
woman in the congregation. And
while she is doing this, she must not
indicate that she knows that every
woman in the congregation is noting
critically the way she wears her
clothes, the way she rears her chill
dren, and the way she keeps house.

ARREST THE SPEEDERS

|. The district attorney or somebody is
making a good move in having the
automobile speeders arrested. There
are a few men who think they own
not only the road but the entire earth
when they get into machine and have
a smooth stretch of highway in front
of them. A member Of the county
highway commission said a few days
ago that a rapidly-going automobile
was very destructive to road on &C
count of the "pull" on the paving ma
terial. The wheel pulls the particles
loose and these are swept away by
the wind. Speeding is not only hard
on the road, but is dangerous for those
in the car and for others on the high
way. If a man has no more sense
than to exceed the limit, arrest him
and let him pay or go to Jail. The
first offense is punishable with fine
Of a sum not less than ten dollars
and not more than fifty. But the
second offense; there comes the sx-
element! The penalty is from $25
to $1O0, or sixty days in Jail, or both.
A few arrests will bring money into
the public Golfers and give few peo-
pie something to think about. In
many cities arrests for speeding &C.
cur almost daily, and there is no rea-
son why a few automobile owners
should have full swing in this city or
county.

They'll know the reason why.

And congressman they've urged
