Washington, Sept 30-The Repub.
lican Publicity Association, through its
President, Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr
today gave out the following state
ment from its Washington Headquar-
ters:
after all the Presidents passion for
democracy" after all his declarations
that the United States went to war
for democracy, after all his assurances
that his is league of democracies,
what do you think of the democratic
character of some of the nations that
he wishes to have vote in the league
equal with that of the United States?
Here is a quotation from the consti-

fective without his approval His veto

Home Town Feeling

spirit is pronounced and growing fast.
People back each other up in all
their enterprises. Just as the college
boys are loyal to their football team
and root for it and cheer it on to vic
tory, so the people with home town
people stand behind all good local caus-
es and support every useful undertake
ing connected with their own commun-
ity A personal tie of friendship
unites all the people of the town, and
they are loyal to each other and to
their common interest
Feeling that the advance of Delta de-
pends on how far this feeling can be
developed here, The Independent will

Thomas Carlisle once remarked that
the test of the United States would
come when the people rioted for
bread. Unless all signs fail, the test
is on the way. The uncompromising
attitude of labor must result in pro-
duction reduced to its lowest terms.

day as they were when Adam and Eve

The sentiment of the people toward
their home town varies tremendously
In different places.
In many localities the residents are
built on a "lone hand" principle. 1t
is "everyone for himself" People
think of their own Individual interest
in the most narrow and short sighted
light, and not merely are selfish but
injure their own interest. They do
mot stop to think how individual sue
cess and advancement Of the commun-
ity of which they form part.
II such people think they can save a
nickel or a dime by buying stuff in
some distant city, they always do It..
Then they complain because their
home town does not grow faster and
stores no not develop more broadly.
II some one starts a progressive move
ment, they knock and jeer at 1t. and
imagine 1t is promoted by selfish mo-
tives.

MR.. WILSON'S VIEWS
AS TO STANDING PAT

In his Des Moines speech Mr.. Will
son said:
had heard of standing pat"
before, but 1 never had before
heard of standpatism going to
the length of saying it is none
of our business, and we do not
care what happens to the rest of
the world.
In his Indianapolis speech made
Janaury 1S, 1915, talking about Mex
leo, Mr. Wilson said:
1T is none of my business and
none of yours how long they (the
Mexicans) take in determining it.
1t is none of my business, it is
none of yours, how long they go
about the business. The country
Is theirs. The government is
theirs. The liberty is theirs.
And so far as my influence goes
while am President nobody
shall interfere with them.
In an address to the Daughters of
the American Revolution in Washing
ton on October IA, 1915, Mr.. Wilson
said:
America has a heart and that
heart throbs with all sorts Of in
tense sympathies, but America has
schooled its heart to love things
that America believes in; and be-
lieving that America stands apart
in its ideals, it ought not to allow
itself to be drawn, as far as its
hearts are concerned, into any
body's quarrel. Is 1t America
first or is it not?
In his third annual message to con-
gress, December Z, 1915, Mr.. Wilson
said:
We have stood apart studious-
ly neutral. 1t was manifestly
our duty to do so. Not only did
we have no part or interest in
the policies which seem to have
brought the conflict on, etc.
When did he change his mind as to
what standing pat" means and when
it should be and should not be ap-
piled New York Herald.

the Republican Congress had reduced

1t is a rather wonderful thing, when
you stop to think about it what one
lone dollar will do. If it is kept at
work. This has been illustrated in
striking manner ON several occasions
by means of very simple experiment.
If you want to see just how important
Il role silver dollar or a dollar bill
plays in the life of community here
is the way to do it. Just attach tag
to the dollar and turn 1t loose, with
the request that every person who
receives the dollar make note on the
tag as to how he received 1t. The re-
suit will be an eye-opener.
Here is the way 1t works: Smith.
the lumber dealer, who first possesses
Brown and pays for them with the dol:
lar. About that time Jones, the plum
ber, who had done some work for
Brown, sends his collector around and
Brown pays the bill with this dollar.
Jones owes Green, the printer. small
advertising BILL so he sends this dollar
with possibly some others. to Green
to pay his bill. Green had just put
the dollar in his cash drawer when
in comes Black. the milkman. to whom
Green owes dollar for milk delivered
at his house. Green takes the dollar
out Of his cash drawer and pays
Black. For some time Black has owed
White. the carpenter. for some work
done on his dairy house, so now he
takes the dollar that Green has paid
him and pays up what he owes White.
White still owes for some lumber that
he bought from Smith, the lumber
dealer, so he takes the dollar and
squares up his account with Smith.
Smith now has his dollar back. Brown
has been able to pay his plumbing
bill. Jones has squared up with the
printer. and SO on. all around the
circle.

Buyer One Who 10 Hurt.

Thus, 1t will be seen that this buy
at-home proposition is really selfish
one with the man who buys the goods.
He is not hurting the home merchant
when he sends his money out of town.
any more thnn he is hurting himself.
Every sensible man knows that his
livelihood depends upon whether busi-
ness In his town Is good or not. III
business is not good, he cannot make
good living for himself and his family,
no matter how hard he may work, and
business cannot be good II the busi-
ness men In the town are not making
money. This is plain business propo-
sitiOn for every man and woman In the
community. BY spending their money
at home they nrc helping the home
merchant only incidentally. They nre
buttering their own brend. When they
send their money to the mail order
house, they are not only hurting the
home merchant incidentally but--n
thing more important to them-they
are likely to be taking the bread out
Of the mouths Of their own children.

What Might Have Happened.

Now suppose that Smith. instead Of
buying his groceries from Brown. had
purchased them from a mail order
house In far distant city and sent his
dollar to pay for them. Brown would
not have had that dollar to pay Jones.
the plumber: Jones could not have
paid his printing bill the printer would
have had to stand of the milk man |;
White. the carpenter, would not have
got the money for the work he had
done for the milkman and Smith would
not have got the money which White
owed him for lumber.
This is all 80 simple that It requires
no student Of economics or professor
Of mathematics to figure II ont. Any
one can see that when Smith sends
that dollar to Chicago or some other
city where the mail order houses -four
ish. that dollar Is gone no far ms Smith
and Jones and Green and the rest Of
the people in Smiths town are con-
cerned. That dollar will never come
back to pay any bills in Smiths town.
And the thing that stands out most
striking. but IL most often overlooked.
Is that Smith, the man who first spends
the dollar. Is hurt Just as much when
he sends that dollar out Of town as is
the home grocer from whom he might
have bought his groceries.
/ Now just multiply this one dollar by
a hundred or thousand or ten thou
sand. One dollar may not seem to
make much difference in the average
town. but thousand dollars or even
a hundred dollars does make a differ
ence. Just as one dollar will pay q
dozen or a hundred small bills. a hun
dred or a thousand dollars will pay
dozen or a hundred big bills. When
Brown, the grocery man, owes thou
sand dollars and can't pay It, he II
headed for the bankruptcy courts.
When Jones, the plumber, can't collect
the money which is due him from
Brown or maybe dozen Browns. he 10
headed In the same direction MS Brown.
And so II goes all around the circle
until 1t hits Smith or a dozen Smiths
who have sent their money out Of town
to add to the fortunes of the mail order
men.
