BISHOP JOHN J. O'CONNOR
TELLS OF RED CROSS APPEAL

Bishop John J. O'Connor Of Newark
thus expresses his approval Of the Red
Cross Christmas roll call:
"A citizen of the United States can
offer no valid excuse for failure to en-
roll himself In the American Red Cross
Society. An organization whose one
great principle Is humanity has the
right to call all men to its standard.
The Red Cross appeals to the common
human in US. 1t aims at giving fine
words, like sympathy and pity and
mercy, some practical value. The world
has waited long time for an organi-
zation which could give to vague feel
ings of sympathy wide, practical ap-
plication. The American Red Gross
fulfills every requirement Of broadly
humanitarian association. 1t accepts
only universally admitted principles.
1t limits Its operations to no particu-
lar class. 1t sides with no party. 1t
asks Of Its members but two things
that they have pity on suffering wher-
ever found and that they have the will
to relieve misfortune.
"The appeal Of the Red Cross for an
increased membership should be in
stantly needed. The man who fails to
heed this call places himself outside
the pale. He does not feel with his
native land. He is not one with his
kind. Here is our opportunity to join
in work which gives to religion and
Its teaching present value. Place your
names on the rolls of the American
Red Cross"

Woman Frozen to Death

Mrs. I. NJ. Cassie, woman living
near Tacony postoffice, north of
Rocky Ford, was frozen to death last
week while attempting to reach town.
The wagon in which they were riding
became stalled in the snow and a
boy was sent back on one of the
horses for help. A car was sent out
but this too became stalled and the
women and a companion spent the
night in the wagon, with the result
that both women were badly frozen.

Surely, it should be easy 70

is the opportune time to buy
a heating stove, range or neaS-
ing system.
The output of all stove ana
furnace companies will be cur
tailed.
The cost of all steel and iron
products is constantly up

the present prices on Round
Oak Stoves, Ranges and Heat

ed. Certainly, it will be years
hence.
This would be true il We had
no Round Oaks on hand to

The truth of it means all the

The purchase of one of these

WHAT TAFT SAYS

Our readers may think we are de-
voting too much space to the League
of Nations, but we feel that the
Importance of the measure is suf-
ficient to justify it. To our way
of thinking it is the biggest thing
ever brought before the American
people and cannot have too much
publicity.
We have never believed in war,
taking the stand that nations which
called themselves Christian had no
need for it. The war with Ger
many exploded the theory. 1t show
ed how one nation might compel the
balance of the world to go to war.
Now it is apparent that the thing
necessary is a combination or agree
ment of the nations not only not
to go to war with each other, but
to suppress those who would.
This is promised in the League
of Nations. After different sena-
tors have picked the covenant to
pieces, possibly through prejudice
the fight has simmered down to the
question of voting strength, a de-
mand is being made that the United
States have more votes in the Coun-
Gil. The fallacy of the arguments
along this line is best shown by a
speech delivered March a, 1919 at
the Metropolitan Opera House in
New York City by VIM. H. Taft
Besides having served four years as
president of the United States. Mr.
Taft is acknowledged one of the
brainiest lawyers of the nation. In
regard to the unequal voting
strength" as Incorporated in the
amendment demanded by Senator
The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1919-09-25

representation should the United
States representation be increased,
and that the opening of the question
would kill the League.
And in this connection the Senat-
or is illogical in another instance.
The League does not seek to
guarantee that England shall con-
tinue to hold her colonies, and in
Article x provides that the Fright
or revolution against oppressive in
ternal authority remains unaffect-
ed and unimpared."
Thus, none of the colonies of
England are bound to vote as the
representative of England votes and
should the representative of the
United States disagree with them
the action would not be binding as
explained in the above quotation
from the League Covenant, which
expressly states that decision shall
require the agreement of all the
members of the League.

ANTI-LEAGUE PAPERS
BOOM SEN. REED FOR 1920

A presidential boom has been
sprung for Senator Reed, Demo.
crat, for the presidency in 1920
This paper serves advance notice
that it will not in any event sup.
port Senator Reed for the presi.
dency.
In the same column is the formal
launching of the Johnson boom
Both these fellows are of the same
calibre but there is strong pos.
sibility of both being the nominees
of their parties.
If such should be the case there
are ten chances to one that both
parties will be divided and four
instead of two candidates in the
field.
One thing is certain-Senator
Rood would be so badly beaten that
his political career would end, and
we might truthfully add, to the
benefit of all concerned.

OUR FUTURE CITIZENS

A couple of weeks ago we print
ed an article as to our responsibility
for the kind of citizens the boys
and girls of today will make.
At that time we made no sug-
gestions, leaving the question for
individual thought. We hope the
people of Liberal have taken the
time to do so.
One of the things that we should
do is to provide some sort of gath
ering place for the boys and young
men of the town, as we'll as a place
where the stranger may spend his
idle time.
Every man who has ever been a
boy knows that it is not a part
of boy nature to spend his eve
nings at home. He longs for the
companionship of his kind, and it
is almost as necessary that he have
this as it is to have his meals.
Liberal, like most all other towns,
is neglecting one of the greatest
opportunities for making men in
not providing such a place under
proper management, and in the
years to come will see the result.
We are spending thousands of
dollars each year for ministers and
church buildings in an effort to
take care of the spiritual side of
our boys and girls but what are
we spending to advance the moral
side? While the churches are dark
and the ministers are off duty where
must our boys spend thir time?
On the streets if they are not in
their homes. What kind of COM
Partnerships are they forming, what
sort of .visciousness are they moi
likely to drift into by contract with
persons of low character?
Liberal could have a boys club
or some institution on the lines of
the Y. M. C. A., where the boys
might congregate with a man in
charge who could assist in building
character. True, it would cost
money, so do the churches, but
who would have them closed up for
that reason.
We would like to meet them,
men and women of the town who
are thinking along these lines.
Drop in and let us discuss the mat
ter. Anything we can do for the
citizens of the coming generation
will be worth our while, and if we
can improve the character of those
citizens it will also be worth our
money.

ad. We told him how he could
turn that editor into booster
mighty easy. That all he had to do
was to increase his space about
three or four times and pay a
rate for it that would leave the
editor a profit, and then get out
and line the other merchants up
to do the same thing
There is no use in talking-a
starved horse can't pull. That
editor was starved horse and
that town will never have a news
paper worthy the name unless the
business men get the idea that they
must pay for it.
1t takes business to make a
newspaper pay, and a lot of it,
and the editor who has to worry
all the time how he is going to buy
another meal ticket will never be
a very good booster for his town,
and paper which does not consist
emily boost is worthless to the com
munity as well as the editor.

A STARVED HORSE WON'T PULL

During the weeks we were ramb-
ling around this summer we stop
ped in a town that looked like a
real one. The streets were well
kept, nice park had been provided,
the stores looked prosperous and
up-to-date. Quite naturally we
dropped into the printing office,
and we found the only place that
did not reflect the otherwise orderly
appearance of the city. In CONVEX
sation we remarked that the town
had the appearance of good one.
eyes," said the editor, at is a
pretty good town; but bum print
ing town; the business men are
not advertisers, and when they
want job of printing they compel
me to compete with every cheap
John junk shop in the country; ad-
vertising rates are too low, but if
l raise them l will lose what little
advertising | carry. | thought
when came here that l could ditch
this old junk and put in machine
and a new press, hire a printer and
run a newspaper, but the folks here
don't care whether they have a
paper or not, so l am just wait
ing for a sucker to come along and
unload"
The fellow was plainly sick of
the deal. He was capable man
but had not the cooperation of the
town, and he had crawled into his
shell to await an opportunity to
drift out.
Then we talked with a business
man, the head of one of the large
firms in the town. We brought up
the subject of the newspaper and
he was loud in his condemnation
of the editor. "He never prints
any boosts for the town" said the
merchant, che takes no interest in
the town or in the helping to build
it up"
Being stranger and not inter-
ested we made a few remarks to
that business man. We asked him
as to the possible advertising volume
and found that he was a regular
advertiser-he actually spent a dol
lar a week for dollar-and-

The "kitten is out of the sack"
This week we received from the
Western Newspaper Union sample
of page of plate with a stamped
post card to be returned if we de-
sired the use of the page free of
charge, transportation included.
Taking a look over the page we
find that the big packers are in
deed fine bunch and never have
done anything wrong. Curious to
know who wished to be so gen.
erous as to furnish us such nice
stories and pictures we discover
that : the organization furnishing
same is known as the Institute
of American Meat Packers, Ma
jestic Building, Chicago" In the
course of one article we are told
plainly that if the buyers for the
packers do not bid up the price the
stock goes to someone else, but they
certainly did not mention that per-
haps the buyers were acquainted,
and perhaps each had orders what
to bid before going into the market.
The stuff sounds pretty good if
one cannot use his thinking ap-
paratus and it certainly is cheap
But not cheap for the packers to
whom the expense will be thousands !
of dollars. In the end the people
will pay it as this is charged as
part of the "cost" of handling
meat and does not come out of
the "quarter of a cent profit"
We threw the card in the waste
basket.
