five per cent Of the young men Of

On Monday afternoon at the M.
f. church DR.. Wilcox spoke upon the
subject Building Home Builders"
In this address DR.. Wilcox pointed
out that the home, school, church
and community have failed to give
the girls and boys the right ideas of
life, The home is not teaching the
principles OF life today because it
did not in the preceding generation.
Between the ages of fifteen and
twenty-five there are four sides of
the young man or young woman's
development The physical, social
mental, moral and spiritual. The
child is physical first and then social.
The social is the soil in which the
mental moral and spiritual are sown.
Character is contagious, and it is
necessary that the child shall have
intelligent care in each Of the stages
of its development. DR.. Wilcox
pointed out that the church, school,

WELFARE WEEK

The people of Liberal have had a
rare privilege in having DR.. Frank
q. Wilcox, a representative of the
National Public Welfare League.
DIR. Wilcox is a speaker with the
message of a man who knows not
only the theory but the practical
outworkings of an attempt on the
part of scientific men to get at the
heart Of our problems of human
wreckage and remove the cause.
DR.. Wilcox spoke at the Christian
church Sunday afternoon on the
Welfare Movement, giving the scope
OF the work of thismovement. Sun
day evening he spoke upon "The
Cause and Cure of Human Wreck
age" In this subject DR.. Wilcox
dealt with some facts in regard to
our criminal class. He stated that
fifty-three per cent of our criminals
never pass the third grade in school.
Sixty-five per cent get no further
than the fifth grade. The Sunday
School is not as efficient as it should
be for eighty per cent of the boys
are lost from the Sunday School and
church, Besides the failure Of the
schools and churches to adequately
reach and hold the boy which con-
tributes to our criminal class, there
is the testimony of the influences of
the home as preventative of crime,
Seventy-five per cent of the men in
prison came from broken homes,
where either father or mother were
dead, or where they separated.
Twenty per cent more came from
good homes where they lacked the
friendship of father or mother, and
five per cent more from homes which
lacked intelligent and Christian care.

KANSAS AND THE WAR

If the Kaiser has any idea that
the people of the United States will
not go to war he should read some
of the Kansas papers of the past
week. The Chanute Tribune says it
just about right. kansas has not
wanted war;" says the Tribune.
"She has realized the terribleness of
it. She has failed to see its justifi-
cation. She has no ancient hatreds
to inspire it. She has no Unsuitable
land hunger to urge her on.
Bnt, because Kansas and the rest
of the Midwest have felt this way
about it, don't imagine for one min
ute that now that war is at our doors
and honor and duty and self respect
are calling, that the state of John
Brown and Funston is not going to
do her full share in this hour of ma
tional calamity and danger.
Because we have hoped for peace
and prayed for peace does not mean
that Kansas is not thoroughly and in
tensely patriotic. The truth is there
is not state in the United States
that is more loyal or more patriotic
than this state and now that world
tragedy stalks at our door, you are
going to see Kansas ablaze with en-
thusiasm to uphold the national gov,
eminent, to protect American insti.
buttons and to fight for world civil.
cation.
If war comes keep your eye or
Kansas. No soldiers will go to the
front with more courage and deter
mination than those from these west
ern plains. No soldiers will show
more gallantry in action than the
Kansas boys, and no women in the
land will cheer for them and pray
for them and their country more
sincerely and earnestly than Kansas
women.
The east need point no finger Of
scorn out this way, nor fear that
Kansas and the Midwest will not dc
their full share.
When the time comes for deeds
and not words, Kansas and the Mid
West will do more than their full
share. The people who live out here
are that kind If Americans and
patriots.
