BURNING THE DROSS

Stagnation means foulness Well being, indo-
lence inevitably brings forth selfishness and
cOwardice The rich niser fears change n it
may interrupt the steady flow of gold into Golfers
The wealthy nation fears upheaval as inimical to
its well ordered fairness.
Poor people and poor nations are more dar-
ing because they desperate Nothing to
lose and the world to gain" is thrice fitting
adage among those who have no steps but up
ward. The last aphorism is applicable in that
it depicts the declaration of ideals among a
poor but free people who wrote the Declaration
OF independence and then bled for their DESIRES
This sturdy idealism still survived and blew
white hot some eighty years later when thous-
ands of blue clad and gray clad boys persisted on
Southern battlefelds. True enough, the nation
was slow in shaking it's chains but it shook them
nightly when the crash came and while bright
youth died in myriad thousands and the nation
waxed lean and sore, the regeneration was COM
plete and lasting for several decades.
There came another time when the world
called for ideals. Across the water men were
dying and democracy dropped and almost perish
ed. Greed and tyranny at the hands of a mad
monarch and his class ridden henchmen threat
ened the social structure Of the world But in

THE GREATEST CHRISTMAS GIFTS

In the midst of grumbling about hard
times, high prices, war and other troubles af-
fecting every citizen, let us take stock of some
of the good things we can be thankful for Let
us be glad:
First of all that we are American citizens.
That we live in a free land under laws protecting
us and guaranteeing us the right to live and
breathe as free men and women;
Let us be thankful that the spirit Of Christ
ian fellowship prevails in our community and
that we have the best wishes and ympathetic
understanding Of those with whom we n1ingle
This is a great gift;
Let us be thankful for the opportunity to do
for others Let us be grateful that we can open
our purses to our countrys need and contribute
to the welfare of those boys who fight for our
freedOm
Let us be grateful for the bounteous stores
of food and fuel in our country. This year
America has produced more than twenty bill
lions in food stuffs-more than any previous
year by three times. No American need go hun
cry and we can help feed our suffering brothers ;;
And among many other things to be thank
full for let us thank the good Lord for his three
greatest gifts-Air, Water and Sunshine These
are free and the greatest Of all.
LET US BE THANKFUL

FREEDOM

What is there about the word that has caus-
eel humanity for ages to shed it's blood-d1e on
the battle feld-endure almost insufferable
hardships- foreswear ease and comfort-break
ties Of friendship-Give up everything dear and
near and after all the bitterness Of the mega
tlcn OF things forsaken has been partaken of
to the last dregs, go to the Golgotha of their
souls with the light Of a beautiful ideal shining
IN their yes-unashamed-sm iling-unafra
and glad even to the death?
Does this word consist in the language of the
constitution, that document of beautiful, indy
ing language, Life, Liberty and the Pursuit Of
Happiness?' Does it mean political and eco
nomic equality? Does it mean the ultimate
destruction of social and race barriers? Does
it mean the right to worship as ones conscience
dictates? Yes, it means these mighty important
things and still it means something more
Freedom above all and everything means the

WHY NOT A DEMOCRAT?

While it is by no means certain that sena-
tor will be ELECTED to succeed Paul Husting
it would seem that the place belongs fairly to a
democrat. Senator Husting was democrat and
a credit to the state that produced him. AS a
mark Of respect to his memory it is only proper
that good American democrat be elected in
his place the only alternative being good Amer
lean republican. The Herald cares little as to the
politics of the man selected providing he proves
up on acid Decentralization. If he is a good
patriot and man of ability-why not a demo-
crat?

right to grow and progress. Not in the letters
OF inherited prejudice, the sitting bands of
superstition and lies or the thousand and one
masks built up about reality through the ages
to keep from being free Freedom in it's
true sense means intellectual liberty. We may
take all things from man but cannot take away
his thoughts. John Bunyan may remember
wrote Pilgrims Progress in dungeon.
It is plain then that the most harmful thing
we can do to man is to take away the light
from his mind or to so surround him with mis-
taken premises that he founders in a 1norass of
lies unable to tell the wicked from the just or the
false from the true
Freedom is not an ideal for little petty men,
Those who care more for aeshpots than they
90 for their own souls and worship ease and COM
tort as the Alpha and Omega of life. Some
cry loudly for it until their pocketbooks or their
material welfare is touched and then at once
forget what little they knew of this divine phil
osophy. But the great Of the ages have sought
freedom and light and what progress we have
made from the cave epoch we owe to these Over
Souls There has been no accomplishment with
out the battle between the God of things as they
are and the Master Of things they should be.
Freedom does not conform freely to opti-
m1sm although the shining summit at the end
may be ever so bright. Freedom demands in
word divine wrath against wrong and ignor-
ance. The big things have been done by angry
people. So utterly mad with rebellion that they
struck hammer-like blows against the citadel
of evil
There can be no evasion of the principles of
Good and Evil. These words are but terms to
describe the winding paths we have left and the
broad highways must travel on. Evil means
prejudice, intolerance, lies, false conventions the
dark, Shiny side of the world Good is synony-
nous with broadness, charity, love and growth
The Answer
This IS the meaning of Freedom. Light
Progress Sanity-the marching on, generation
by observation-disclosures the ages-to the ulti
mate Of Knowledge-V Brotherhood. This
is the meaning of the age long conflict against
the powers of evil and darlness-the woe-the
mlsery-the bloodshed-the battle fields-the
herOiSms.

FIRST COLD SNAP
 HITS ENVIRONMENTS

Little Rock, Oct. S0.--Winter hit Fort Roots yesterday about like the war found the United States-unpre- rared. Troops s<tioned in the old officers training school quarters were the principal sufferers. These buildings are not heated and the oc ,cupants found itheni anything but pleasant Fortunately there was a sufficient supply of blankets and ov- ercoats so that the suffering was re duced to minimum. The quarter master department 4Yesterday.s asked for authority to buy stoves. The men now are hoping that the governme mt will hurry on the stoves or send or ders for the troops to move on to Alexandria, where is IS said, provi- sion Las been made for heating the camp.
 Men at Camp Pike were more for tunate than thosel at Fort Roots, for practically all buildings there are equipped with stoves, or are steam heated. However, there was no en- thusiastic reception accorded Ole Man Winter. The latest report from the camp was that N was cold and getting colder. @eA

COAL FAMINE IN
 LITTLE ROCK

Little Rock, Oct. 3o.-Little Rock TOW is entirely without coal, and the famine so long dreaded is at hand, according to local dealers, some of whom fear there is little prospect of immediate relief, while others are more optimistic. It is said that al thoug the strikes have been settled and the miners have promised to re- turn to work, the local situation will not be relieved until the operators take it upon themselves to ship coal to Little Rock.
 There was widespread rumor yes terday that the reason deale1s cannot get coal is because tic operators are assiduously looking after orders placed hefore the price was fixed, said orders being on basis of more per tons than the operators can now get under the law.

THEATR EPATRONS
 MUST PAY THE TAX

Tel cents has long been the stand ard MNe of admission at the motion piet2re houses in this country, altho cities of Europe have long since been charging higher admission price, and American picture fans have en- jOyed the lower price, but they will now have to pay more for several redsons.
 In the old days there were no high salaried actors and directors to pay and the production cost was much less than now. Salaries of $10,000 to $100;O00 were unhearl of, while now they are becoming cOMmOn. The pic ture houses are now having the be tuilt to meet certain standards in fire proof and sanitary conditions, and the equipment cost is something enor' nous now.
 Ani now on top of all this there Is war tax on every film produced. on every film expressed and on every admission to the show. This tax be comes effective November 1, and the public will be asked to pay a part Of the burden. It is but right that the public should pay, because they are really the ones who reap tine { benefit of the pleasure of the prOduc tions.
