Ohio Cities Have r
Grown Rapidly

DR.. Clarence D. Mitchell who recent
ly resigned as pastor Of the Central
Christian church, this city, to take up
general evangelistic work, is home
from short trip to Ohio. He visited
Lima, Yiqua, Troy and Dayton where
the family connection are from pioneer
stock. DR.. Mitchell states that the
cities from Toledo to Cincinnati have
had phenomenal growth and wave Of
prosperity. Lima, Ohio, his former
pastorate, is 10000 and Dayton
claims over 100000. He says, Judging
from the elements needed to make a
big city, Fairmout has them, and he
expects to see Fairmont In the class
of big cities in the very near future.
He said the thing that impressed him
in these fast growing cities was their
political, social, religious and indus
trial cooperation. Another social fac
tor was their alertness to make the
newcomer and stranger In their
midst feel the warmth Of genuine hos
pitality. Rev. Mitchell will begin a
township evangelistic campaign in Bel
mont county, Ohio, next Sunday. He
has two workers on the ground pre-
paging the way for his coming next
Sunday.
DR.. Mitchell was pastor of, the, Cen
trail Christian church for five years
and during his ministry the sbeautifui
new church and parsonage was,erect-
ed. He expects to attend the Man
nington convention which Is being
held in the church which was built
when DR.. Mitchell was pastor there.

WHAT Is AMERICANISM?

Democracy means nothing but
the equality Of men. American
ism means the same thing.
When the spirit Of freedom
rose rose amid the colonial camp
fires and struck for the liberia
tion of the colonies, its birthcry
was the declaration: "All men
are created free and equal"
When the wise men Of their
generation assembled on the
Schuylkill to formulate a consii-
tuition, they yitalized in their his
toric principles and destructive Of
our form of government. Glass
distinctions are abhorrent to-
every tradition of the America.
Class agitation and class reeogGi-
ton are treason to the basic prin-
ciple Of our national life.
1t is not strange that dema-
gogues should appeal to the pref
ldlce Of classes II is passing
strange, however, that they
should publish such appeals anil
still claim to be Americans.
1t is natural, perhaps. thai
classes should yield to the law of
economic determination and secl;
to enrich themselves at the en-
pense of ali mankind. But it is
beyond human comprehension
that such classes seek to justify
heir action by pleading the IN
llienable rights Of American citi-
1enS
Laws designed to benefit man
llacturers only or tanners only
'r miners only or printers only or
merchants only are undemocratie
n their origin, and, if dctrimen-
al to other classes, are un-Amc.i-
an IN their effect.
Candidates who pose, as espe-
ial friends Of farmers or bust
tess men or laboring men may be
God politicians, but beyond any :
uas;i0u they are bad Ameri-
ans Ada News.
