Greenwood is a good town and a
live and progressive town. The Wis
iting Elks were royalty entertained
by the men of Greenwood and the,
town has the air of prosperity about
it and there are evidences Of that
spirit which makes good town. The
people talk Greenwood and have some
! thing good to say about the place and
the people. You never hear them say
or hint anything but what is to the
advantage of the community and the
people who live there.
| There are two handsome office build
ings in the city, with electric elevator
and steam heat and all the conven-
fences of a modern Office building,
something that Newberry greatly
needs. We have often wondered why
some of our men who have money did
not get together and build modern
Office building in this town of New
berry. 1t would pay as an investment
and be worth more as an asset for
the community than as an investment
and would pay good dividends in that
way.
Then Greenwood has one of the best
hotels in the South and it is run right
up to the minute, and it is a great
asset for the town and keeps people
talking nice things about Greenwood.
In fact the hotel has done more to
put Greenwood on the map than any
other one thing that the town has
ever done.
There is cooperation in the town
and in fact that seems to be the slo-
san. The key note of the remarks Of
Mr.. Tillman is assuming the duties
Of head of the new lodge Of Elks en-
rnasized that slogan-co-operation-
as an essential for the success Of the
lodge. 1t is the slogan that spells
success for any community.
The new lodge is composed of good
men and true and it is obliged to sue
ceed, especially with the slogan Of
cooperation. The Newberry boys ap-
5reciate the kindly treatment they re-
ceived and will ever look with inter-
est at the success of the Greenwood
lodge. All CIR boys thoroughly en-
jayed their trip to Greenwood.

sex impulses left entirely to the
public dance.
Dancing should be done in the
church. Boys and girls will dance
or do something worse, or imagine

to rig up these parish houses and

rooms for dances. Get good

a group of the mothers attend every
dance, and invite the boys and girls
of the church to come in and dance
from until 10 once a week. Let
them dance all the new dances. Be-
gin the dances with prayer if you
want to and end the dances with
benediction, but let the boys and
girls dance. The church will be
stronger and cleaner; the boys and
girls will respect an institution
which now they regard as a bore
and a nuisance, because the church,
unfortunately is SO constituted that
it does not touch the normal life
of youth at any sane wholesome
point, and the marriages made by
supervised dancing will be happier

THE YOUNG FOLKS, PROBLEM

j. H. Engle is his address urg-
ing more attention to love-making
by the churches and declaring that
the country depot is peril be-
cause it is a loafing place for
young people has started some
thing. Here are two editorials on
the subject:
William Allen White says: "Mr.
y. H. Engle of the Kansas State
Sunday School association, declares
that too many matches are made in
the village depot. He thinks the
churches-the Sunday schools and
the endeavor societies-should do
something to get the young people
interested in doing their loye-mak-
ing under decent influences.
mr. Engle is right. But the
whole trouble with the church is
that it thinks the fun boys and
girls have while trying each other
out and getting acquainted, and
preparing seriously to fall in love,
is from the devil. The truth is that
this fun, this more or less uncon-
scious cropping of the sexes to find
their way to love, is the hottest
thing on this planet. Matchmaking
should be encouraged by the home
and the church. The truth of the
matter is that it is discouraged,
and more or less shamed by the
home. and outcast by the church.
As a result we have the village de-
pot. the town streets, the woods by
the creek, the Westinghouse steps,

William Allen White: This is a

fact that the president and the con
gress are strongly and partisanly
Democratic and soon we shall have
a Democratic majority in the SUI

country is indicated by the fact
that a majority of the states out

CHAIRMAN SESSIONS

The Republican state COMMITTEES
owes much to it's chairman, Char
les II. Sessions, who worked day
and night for Republican victory
in Kansas. He gave every endeavor
to elect the entire ticket from
Hughes down to county officers and
made a clean, fair fight. 1t is some
job to keep los county organiza-
tions in line and Mr.. Sessions, with
that admirable secretary, w. G.
Markham, made campaign that
was managed with tact, ability and
energy. Nobody could have done
more and the Republicans never had
a more courteous, masterful head

GOV. CAPpER's SERVICE

Those Kansas papers and leaders
who are refleeting on Governor
Capper for the states slump to
Wilson are unfair The governor in
every speech urged votes for Hughes
and a Republican congress. 1t was
not his province to discuss national
issues at length-a hundred other
speakers great and small were do
ing that and they carried the ar
gument into every schoolhouse. 1t
was not for lack of discussion that
the people did not understand 1t
was because they were afraid of
war and because of the high prices
of products. Gov. Capper did his
part when he carried the state
ticket and did what he could for
the national ticket. The Wilson
seed was sown for two years pre-
vious to the campaign when Repub-
licans generally failed to nail the
administration weaknesses and
the harvest was ready when the
war scare was raised Women were
told that Hughes had said "A vote
for me is vote for war" and they
believed it. Wilson came to Kansas
and told the people that war was
just in sight and we needed 'in-
comparably the largest navy on
earth" and then claimed that he
had saved us-and folks believed
that bunc too. Gov. Capper made
vigorous. earnest campaign for
good government and Republican,
ism and Kansas will have under
his administration with a Republi-
can legislature two years Of the
best legislation and executive man
agement it has ever known.

wide evil when he says the country
town railroad station is great
peril to the country because it is
unchaperoned.
The secretary of this wide-awake
Kansas organization is undoubtedly
familiar with conditions or he
would not make this statement
Those who travel know that what
he says is true. In small towns the
railroad station is the lettering
place for young people In towns
where there is no amusement for
young people this is especially true.
Indirectly the secretary hits at
popular American habit: loafing. 1t
is true that Americans are famous
the world over for their industry,
which is true as class, but every
town has its loafing place for loaf
ers. Where the environment is pro-
yided the loafing habit will breed
crime. If it does not breed actual
Indifference to law it develops
state of mind that needs dynamit-
ing occasionally to arouse to any
definite action. This type of citi-
zenship is dangerous, because it
does nothing.
Many towns sometimes wonder
why they are turning out so many
young men and women who do not
seem able to hold their own in the
world. The individual and the town
are usually to blame. Towns which
stand for the best for their young
people should seek to remedy these
conditions. Character training is
greatly matter of the proper start
and then nurturing. Give the prop
er environment to most any town
and the young people will not grow
up there to disgrace their relatives
and friends"

A correspondent writes asking
for yerification of figures published
recently when it was stated that the
treasury of the United States is now
running behind $3.50 each second
of the business days. The statement
was based on figures furnished by
the treasury department and includ-
ed only the time up to the last week
in September. AS a matter of fact,
the calculation was under rather
than over, the mark On the sixth
day Of October the deficit for the
eighty-three days of the current
fiscal year was $66, 850,138.03, or
$805,421 per day This is at the
rate of 1892 plus for each of the
Sc, 400 seconds in a day of twenty
four hours or $27.99 for each sec
ond of an eight-hour day. Just lis

took charge of the treasury on March

Concordia Blade; The proposition
of each school district in Cloud
county furnishing its country

education was defeated by vote of

election, this proposition was lost

last legislature providing that each
school district could appropriate
money to pay the tuition OF every
graduate to some high school in
the county.

AS a matter of record let us re-
call while the matter is fresh, the
positions of the two parties. The
Republican party, recalling the de-
preston of 1914 which succeeded
the Underwood tariff law before the
war began, declared that the ces-
sation of the war, in the absence
of protective tariff legislation, would
mean the cessation of our vast ex-
port trade, and the invasion of
American markets by flood of i'm
ports which would paralyze Ameri-
can industry.
Democratic leaders, particularly
President Wilson, Secretary McAdoo
and Secretary Redfield, have de-
clared that our sales abroad were
being curtailed, rather than in
creased by the war abroad; that
the end of the war would cause no
diminution, and that, owing to the
crippled condition of Europe, there
would be no increase in imports
disturbing to American industry, no
slowing down of factories, no de-
preston in farm prices, no hard
ship incident to the resumption of
the low tariff policy in time of
peace.
In other words, the affirmation
of Democratic leadership has been
that but for the war we would be
enjoying even greater prosperity. In
his Cincinnati speech President Will
son declared that this prosperity
was due to domestic rather than
foreign conditions, and ridfeuled in
the most extreme language the con-
tention that the cessation of war
would impair it. When the war ends,
business in the United
States should be better than it is
now, under the Underwood tariff
law.
We have been told, moreover,
that the existing federal reserve law
is an absolute guarantee against |
business depression. Ample credit |
are assured, no matter
What may happen and farmers ev
,rywhere will have much lower in
crest on their mortgages because
If the rural credit law.
Upon these points our Democratic
riends are either right or wrong.
The acceptance of their statements
nd pledges by the American people
las given them new lease of pow
r. The failure or fulfillment of
hese assurances will constitute the
paramount issue of the first cam
aign succeeding the end of the
European war, which will doubtless 4
mean the campaign of two years
Ience, since the European war Will I
not last longer than the
nd of 1917.
