ITNITED STATES MUST BECOME GOD FAITH

Paris, Feb 5-The impression was growing today
that the United States must become god father to many
Of the smaller nations and communities either willingly or
unwingy if the league Of nations toachieve all that
is intended Not only have the people Of the small coun
tries began look to America as protector but the big
powers are showing disposition to regard America
the one nation that can execute mandatory certain
countries with our engendering international jealousy
The attitude Of the league Of nations in this regard was
indicated in the interview given the United Press by Ma
or General Frederick Maurice former military director
Of the British general staff in which he pointed out that
America should finance the reconstruction in many coun
international police President Wilson appreciates that
his hardest task wod be to convince the American people
that the United States must be willing take large
share Of the expense of aiding the stricken
to assuming the whole burden including the military and
naval expense In the direct appeal from some Of the
stricken nations to the United States including Armenia
and Constantinope puts the question plainly before
America as to whether she is ready to support President
Wilson's plan for league Of nations.

WILL IMPROVE
THE SERVICE

A nationwide campaign to I'M
prove the nations express service
will be inaugurated on February ~
bv the American Railway Express
company through the 135, 700 men and
women employed in the express
company through tn TAO TAOEl A
business, it was announced here today
by L. P. Haarman, agent IN Far
20. The purpose is to interest the
Shippers an dthe people generally in
this government organizations plan
to raise the standards of packings,
waprpings and marking express ship
ments with view to minimizing the
waste of time, effort and money that
result from packages being lost or
damaged through lax methods of pre-
pairing them for sending forward.
While shippers and the public are
being educated to pack, wrap and
mark shipments properly, the Amer
lean Railway Express companl will
campaign among it's own employees,
instructing them to avoid rough
handling, mis-routing and other de-
viations from correct express; meth
DDS in office and terminals, and this
closer supervision is expected to
improve internal operating condi-
tions. On February II every agent
at all important points will address
employees, and these addresses will
be made on each Tuesday of the
campaign. Better service campaign
communities" will be organized and
':four minute speeches" will be made
to drivers, platform men, Office and
claim bureau clerks, car messengers
and other employees. "Start Express
Shipments Right" texts will be
placed on posters to be placed on
express wagons and on window pla-
cards.
Between July 1 and Nov. 80, 1918,
"no mark bureaus of the company
received 127,S59 shipments which
the company had been unable to de-
liver because all means of identi-
fidation of their shippers or con-
signees had been lost, and part of the
campaign will be to eradicate this
."llo mark" evil and induce shippers
to place Identification marks on ship
ments in additions to the address
tags. Use Of inferior quality of Irvine
and paper will be discouraged. The
cooperation especially of business
executives and managers of large
concerns will be invited.

civic club house where the fathers
and mother, sons and daughters, may
gather for community intercourse, as
musical enjoyment, intellectual re-
freshments, and physical rejuvena-
ton; rooms for the ladies and others
for the gentlemen and others for the
children and all together too. In such
social center the Woman's Club could
meet. In it too the commercial asso-
citation should have permanent head
quarters and the care of the rooms
and building, the municipality paying
for the upkeep of the building includ-
ing the offices of the commercial as
sociations; for the time may be near
when the industrial work of com
munity will function with the munich
pal.
How wise to try to hold the soldier
bows in the old town by memorial
to them. Just to continue their resi-
dence in the home town is worth the
cost of memorial club house, while
also to secure permanent home for
the commercial association is an asset
Of inestimable value. In this club
house too should be welcome for the
agricultural folk, rest rooms for farm
ars' wives, who are not so much OF the
town ashley might be, in social inter
course. Cancellation of the entire
community cannot be achieved more
efficiently than by a democratic club
house.

The republican party in the organ
ization of the next congress will have
a great opportunity to do some purg-
ing of the big business magnates and
elect men to the prominent committee
ships and to the speakership of the
house, if they will, who will be a
credit to the party and convince the
general voting public that they really
mean to put the gangsters in the rear,
or the party can let the gangsters
rule the roost and get the condemn
nation Of the American people. The
republican party has great oppor-
tunity open to it. Will it be big
enough to take advantage Of it or
will it let the chestnutty seniority rule
govern. Take the speakership of the
house of representativessfor instance
James r. Mann is the logical success
sor to the crown of Speaker Champ
Clark by virtue of his office as min
GRITTY leader if you go by seniority. But
is Mann the proper person to elect
speaker? The question is do we want
a pro-Gern7an or real American in
the chair Of the house of representa-
tives? If we want the latter then
we do not want Mann. In 1916 Mr..
Mann declared in the house of con-
gress "In this war, am neutral. l
think we ought to maintain peace at
all hazards" 81 have much more
fear of war with England than I have
of war with Germany" he added in
the same speech. His utterances
stamp him anything but the real
American and it would look from a
long range distance that Mr.. Mann is
the wrong man to put in the speakers
chair. We shall no doubt have a
special session of congress early in
the summer and the new speaker will
have to be elected at that time as
new congress will go into power. So
far as we know there is not at the
present time any great crystallized
sentiment in the house against Mann.
It is time for the members of con-
gress to wake up. In the senate we
have the spectacle of Boss Penrose
seeking by the seniority rule to head
the greatest and most powerful COM
mittee in the senate legislation. Will
the republican senators let him have
this or will they listen to the voice
of the progressives in the senate and
the republicans of the nation who
want a purging of the bosses and a
cquare deal for all. Will the repub-
lican party of the nation, now that it
has the great opportunity of it's life,
rise above party politics and do the
right thing

COMMUNITY WELFARE

To commemorate the greatest secu-
lar event in the annals of history
what has been suggested mere apro-
pos than a memorial to the boys of
the army in the form of community
club house? 1t would be both digni-
fled and unitarian in influence and a
local institution badly needed in most
towns; it would perpetuate the demo-
crazy of the army. Most local socie-
ties are too often exclusive, even the
church inadvertently unable to disas-
sociate this thought in the minds of
many when considered as social GEN.
ter. The nearest approach at present
and available is the school house as a
social center.
Every possible influence is desirable
to continue the comradarie of the
trenches allowing and accentuating
the fellowship developed by contact
of society in the supreme test for the
worlds salvation, now for society's
salvation. Fraternity cemented under
the thought of death is strong, and
should be utilized to cement society,
which community club would ac-
complish. It would be a permanent
testimonial to the boys who saved hu-
mainly from the slavery Of autocracy
attesting their obligation offered as
a holy sacrifice, and also achieving an
atmosphere of protection for the sa-
cred national institutions which may
at any time be undermined by an in
sidious fee. Let the walls of this club
house be adorned with the names and
pictures Of the. local soldier boys and
-. l, III la No I'll -
their 'sbivouac of the dead"
The local social life is an extraordi-
nary problem for the average COM
munity to solve. Where to rendez-
vous during leisure is hard ques-
ton for the ordinary young person in
the average town. Some go to the
pool hall, others go to the saloon, for
the church is dark and the home has
not yet become a social center, but
rather appears to have grown more
self-centered, sad to say. | found a
young fellow from a friends home
during professional visit to Colo
RADIO university town, working in a
pool hall when his mother thought he
was employed in local drug store;
the chances are that he was not work
ing in the pool hall because Of his rea-
son given, more pay, but rather that
the pool hall afforded livlier time
and brighter lights. Parents forget
frequently that the red blood of their
children seeks the joy of life, more
social life.
Where your child spends his leisure
is more important than where he
works; it is not an unfounded state
ment that his destiny is fixed more
by his spare moments than by his vo-
cation. Yet most parents are careless
regarding the subject of their chill
dren's avocation. The government
seems to think that the demobiliza-
ton Of the army requires great care
