MISSIONARY MEETING

The Central Methodist Mission
airy Society met Monday after
noon in a business session, with
the president, Mrs. Prcntiss, pre-
siding. Among the important
matters discussed was the mc.n-
bership campaign, to begin on
september 10Th, when the mem
bers of the Society having first
met for prayer will go out in
tWos, making a house to house
canvass among the church mem
bers, seeking to arouse interest
and to enlist new members for the
Society, who will join heart and
hand i'll the work for the Master.
The meaning of the word cam
paign is a series of connected OPP
erations: the time that the army
keeps the field 1t is our purpose
to keep the field and to keep what
we have already acquired. This
membership campaign will be
preceded by devotional meet
ing of the Society on Monday
September 18th, when the sub
jet will be "Nashti," led by Mrs.
Bowen and Mrs. Brewer. Nashti
has been called our "life-saving
station" 1t is home for friend
less girls located at Thomasville,
Ga. Its object is to rescue girls
who are in danger and give them
a chance and a right start in life.
And right along this line was
our Bible lesson Monday after
noon, when Mrs. Farmer told Of
the responsibility Of the mothers
of daughters, and of the restric-
tons necessary, especially in the
matter of dress, using the lesson
taken from Samuel in which Eli
was condemned because he re-
strained not his sons. Mrs. Davis
gave an interesting talk, telling OF
the experiences of a returned mis-
sionary from Korea whom she
had spent some time during the
summer. She also had on exhibit
some very unique and interesting
souvenirs from Korea.
The meeting was we'll attended
and much interest shown. Those
who found It impossible to be

At noon a table was set in the

ENGLISH PAPERS FEAR
GREAT AMERICAN NAVY

Shanghai, Aug. l5.-English
newspapers in Chinese treaty
ports devote much space to dis
cussion of the American naval
building program. Practically
all the English papers have print
ed editorials on the subject in
which they speculate as to what
use the United States will make
Of a great fleet after it acquires
it.
The following comment from
the North China Daily News of
Shanghai is typical of the Eng
lish expressions: america OBJ
viously means to have big fleet.
What, when it is ready, does she
intend to do with it? Presumably
we shall get an answer when we
know what 'r1ndiluted American
ism means"

YOUR BOY.

This is a good time TO think Of YOU
boy. II you do not look after him in
he right way. someone will do II in
the wrong way. Begin now,
Teach your boy to follow in the
footsteps OF his father, TO respect the
law, to obey his parents, to regard the
rights Of all men, to honor virtue, TO
respect w~omanhood, and to depend
upon no one but himself for his ad-
vancement.
Teach him that the Golden Rule of
life will be found in the Ten Com
mandments. They are short. They
have survived the ages. They stand
today unchanged and unchallenged.
They comprise the first great writ
ten law given by God 70 man. Before
these few commandments all man.
made laws fade into insignifcance.
Teach them to your boy. There is
danger ahead if you do not.
The universal drift Of mankind is
toward ~decadence. Heredity pays it's
premium and also exacts its discount.
The sol of a good father and an af-
~fectionate mother. brought up in an
atmosphere of parental regard, never
viii disgrace the family.
The boys of today are to be the men
Of tomorrow. The destines of the
American people are to be i'm the hands
OF their sons. If the boys are taught
respect for the law, both human and
divine, obedience to authority, manly
independence and the fear of God, this
great nation will be a noble monu-
ment to mans capacity for self-gov-
prnmput and gplf-cont rO1 at a tima
when all the world is a seething caul-
dron of unrest, unreason and disbe-
lief.
Teach your boy to rule, but first
to rule himself.-Leslie's.

MORE ABOUT THE DAVIS PLAN.

Mr.. Marcus Day. who has been a
regular contributor to The New Free
dom for some time, attended the meet
ing held by Hon. ID. w. Davis. a Re-
publican guberantorial candidate, at
Meridian, and gives his impressions
In another column. Mr.. Day is struck
with the forceful personality of the
speaker and with tho program he has
mapped out to make Idaho a taxless
state. Mr.. Davis proposition is to
sell the state lands and put the mon
ey received out at interest. AS The
New Freedom has pointed out this
plan is fraught with great danger,
but II properly safeguarded. and car
ried out within ceitain limita ions the
plan is feasible and would to some
extent relieve the tax burden and al
so tend to the reduction of the interest
rate upon farm loans. AS The New
Freedom has been a most consistent
and insistent advocate Of these re-
forms. we heartily endorse MIR. Davis
plan TO the extent that the matter will
be submitted to the voters OF Idaho
ri the next general election. There is
II constitutional amendment pending
increasing the amount of state land
which can be sold in a single ear from
20 sections to 100,0 900 acres. This
amendment, We believe. was advanc-
cd in the platforms OF both the Demo-
cratic and Republican parties of last
ear. and should be adopted b the peo-
pie.
There are certain precautionary
measures hat are absolutely essen
tial to the carrying cut OF this plan.
Certain safeguards must be thrown
around he sale of these lands. The
New Freedom stands for their sale to
actual settlers only and in small a
Under no consideration should these
lands be sold in large tracts 10 large
interests. The whole land problem
is TO get the land under ownership OF
the actual This Is more to be
desired than al other one thing. The
amendment should be adopted and in
