from Washington to continue the so

The article is OF srsh publishes eguhry

ditions desired; that is sadly true
of many movements aimed to accom-
pl:sh civic advancement, but the fact
that back of the movement there has
been no attempt to educate the popu-
lar mind to an understanding OF the
principles involved, was responsible
for the collapse.
An open mind is the beginning of
wisdom; mind that is callOused by
prejudice, narrowness, jealousy, ig-
norance or any influence that Grip
pies it's freedom is incapable of
learning. He who viii not be taught
cannot be helped. When approach
ing any subject the mind must be
willing and the judgment suspended,
until the whole subject is reviewed.
The child's mind learns easiest,
because it has no prejud:ces, no pre-
conceived idea. no opposing desire,
but as age advances men narrow
their mind along certain opinions
,, and allow of no latitude. When a
new thought approaches they at once
seek to adjust it to their former
views.
Truth is the only standard by which
any subject can be comprehended,
and a man must apply logic If he
| wants to arrive at the truth. Truth
is an imperial virtue and the only
foundation upon which knowledge
builds, therefore to arrive at truth
is the duty of every mind that claims
to possess intelligence. Truth is dis
closed only by search and search Is
but an analysis of the subject in
hand.
Hence, to know community and
the place occupied in that commu-
nifty by each member an analysis is
essential The community is the
subject to be developed, the individu-
al is the means of the development,
and the individual must know the
community and be known to it be-
/ fore he can assist in the development
or honestly share in the results.
In every community there is viz

An invitation is hereby given all

tue and evil and the line OF denmark
alton very often is difficult to dis
tfnguish, but when evils make them
selves SO apparent as to become obvi-
Gus. remedies must be applied to
eradicate the trouble. It ds folly
to attempt to remove the disease by
applying surface lotions. They can
never be curative until they strike
at the surface Of the evil. To try to
remove the cause by remedying the
result is not feasible. The cause
must be removed and the result will
disappear.
In the treatment OF community

they constitute q virtue or an evil.

an evil, remove them. This applies
to every avenue Of civic development

YOUNG MAN HELD
|. ON CRAVE CHARGE

Hubert Nelson, well known young
man, who resided at 412 East Wright
street, was arrested yesterday and
placed in the county jail, the allega-
ton being made that he had forged
the name of a prominent business man
to check for more than $40, and, it
is claimed, procuring money on the
alleged forgery.
The arrest of young Nelson was
effected by former Chief of Police
Frank D. Sanders, who turned the
prisoner over to Deputy Lawrence
Mayo, at the county jail. The blot
ter shows that a charge of forgery
stands against him.
It is understood that efforts were
being effected last evening to settle
the case of the young man, and rela
tives were at tn county jail during the
late afternoon, looking into the case.

GOVERNMENT MAY
HANDLE TWO BOYS

Willie Seeley and Eugene Forsyth,
the white boys arrested few days
ago and bound over to the probation
officer, will likely be handled by the
federal government, and on Thursday
afternoon they will be presented to
United States Commissioner j. J..
Sullivan, for examination. This step
was taken yesterday by Probation Of
ficer Pinney, who was advised that
this was the proper procedure.
Young Seeley and Forsyth, residing
in the lower western part of the city,
were taken into custody few days
ago for investigation and later were
held as dangerous and suspicious
characters, the allegation being made
that they were the principals in the
work of stripping a government coal
lighter, which was cast up on the
beach near Perdido wharf, during the
July storm. The boys are alleged to
have stripped and carried off a con-
