ROUNDING UP THE RADICALS.

NOOlNOIlNG VI IT1E4 NADISALAO.
The wholesale rounding up of undesirable
citizens by the federal authorities is an en-
couraging indication that the government is
determined to get rid of the agitators, an
archists and radicals who, fleeing from the
poverty and oppression of other countries,
are seeking to make the United States the
same sort of country as that from which
they fled. Wholesale deportations of the I'M
desirables will reduce large percentage
of the agitation so much feared by people
who prefer government by law to one OF
anarchy. If the government the agitators
advocate is superior, in their estimation, to
that of this country they should be found in
the countries so governed instead of having
fed from them. But the filthy scum do not
want to return, They will resist deportation
as long as there is a chance of doing so.
They will invoke the laws they seek to over
throw to save themselves from living under
the forms of government they advocate
Why any sane individual will listen to such
rabble and follow such rot is Incompetent
sble
These agitators are not American citizens,
nor material out of which such citizens can
be made The foreigner should be made to
understand that he brings to this country no
rights of labor, have fled to cover rather
He is here by sufferance, not by right. He is
tolerated, not invited.
If the government maintains its backbone
and sends out of the country the whole group
of agitators under arrest it will strike a
body blow against the spread of the mental
disease of government destruction from
which they and their apologists and friends
are suffering. Bolshevism has spread in this
country because it was not resisted. The
people have feared it, but those in authority,
because it has been so confused with the
rights of labor, but have fled to cover rather
than swat it with club.
The doors of immigration must be clos
ed against all foreigners, for time at least,
and in this connection The News commends
a bill that has been introduced by Mr. Crisp,
the representative of this district IN con-
gress, looking to that end. They must be
closed against all undesirables for all time.
If the war has taught this government any
thing it is that the shallow Drained flannel
mouthed visionary from the political cess
pools of Europe must be kept out of this
When the government dumps the entire
kettle of spoiled fish on the country from
which they came there will be a more whole
some atmosphere in this country. There will
be less agitation and more intelligence. The
questions of the times will be settled by in
telligence instead of hatred and malice.
few wholesale deportations will induce those
not gathered in the net to behave themselves.
They, too, will fear deportation, and will be-
gin an effort to live within the law. AS po-
liceman's drawn revolver subdues the mob
so will deportation subdue the irresponsible
who cannot be deported.

Religious Tolerance.
From the Wesleyan Christian Advocate.

From the Wesleyan Christian Advocate.
During the revival services of the Baptists
in Dawson, Ga, our Methodist congregation
called in its Sunday night service and mid
week prayer meeting that our people who
wished might attend the revival service and
lend what encouragement they could to the
efforts of the Baptsts. On this The Dawson
News comments as one of the indications
that tolerance is rather a new development
among the denominations We are glad to
see secular paper note such matters. But
as a matter of fact such conduct on the part
of our Methodists in the smaller towns of
this state was not uncommon as far back as
our early ministry.

BUT PANIC is NOT PICNIC.

From the Commerce Observer
An old-fashioned panic may be the only
thing that can bring the American people to
their senses, according to The Dawson News,
which sees danger in the present-day ten
denotes toward high extravaganza and plain
disregard for some of the principles of sane
living One of the Georgia exchanges, in
quoting the Dawson paper, used the word
picnic for panic. Even at that the right
sort of picnic might help some.

Favorit Poem: "OId Ironsides"

Every student of American history re-
members the famous battle between the
American frigate "Constitution' and the
British warship "Guerriere," August 10,
1912. This is enc of the most famous ma
val victories in American history. Eigh-
teen years later when it was proposed to
demolish the old "Constitution," COM
monty called "Old Ironsides," Oliver
Wendell Holmes wrote the following ring
ing protest which resulted in the preser-
walton of the historic fighting craft:
Ay, tear her shattered ensign down!
Long has it waved on high,
And many an eye has danced to see
That ensign in the sky;
Beneath it rang the battle shout,
And burst the lannon's roar;
The meteor of the ocean air
Shall sweep the clouds no more.
Her deck, once red with heroes blood
Where kneeled the vanqushed foe,
When winds were hurrying Ger the flood,
And waves were white below,
No more shall feel the victor's tread,
Or know the conquered knee:
The harpies of the shore shall pluck
The eagle of the sea!
O. better that her shattered hulk
Should sink beneath the wave;
Her thunders shake the mighty deep,
And there should be her grave;
Nail to the mast her holy flag,
Set every threadbare sail,
And give her to the God of storms
The lightning and the gale!

The president in the usual Thanksgiving
phraseology has found much for the country
to be thankful over. 1t may be little hard
to be thankful for some things that have
happened during the year, but none the less
we should be thankful. At least, we are
watching the wheels go round even if occa-
sionally they go bit backward.

Imagination in Business

the things you do every day. With
Imagination you can watch some
one at a task and think OF a better
way of doing the same thing. You
don't have to go stargazing to use
Imagination effectively.
Concentrate il on the simple
things around you-the things you
do each day, the tasks of your fell
workers. Almost everything is
susceptible Of Improvement. But
you need imagination to create the
improved idea.
But imagination is a personal
gift-peOple are born with it or
without it's a common opinion.
It's true that some individuals pos
sesS imagination to a noticeable
degree. They are the inventors,
the artists, writers, scientists, and
those who have il TO an exagger-
ated extent usually elect to follow
a profession where it is, constantly
exercised.
But Soodly amount of magma
tiOn can be developed by almost
anyone. Get the habit OF seeing
more than what your eye observes.
Put a why after everything YOU
see and do. II you will inuuire
into the causes OF routine jobs or
why certain equipment is used, you
will frequently find that no good
cause exists. 1t is simply a routine
"a tradition rut established
long ago.
With common sense reasoning, il
is easv to arouse the Imagination
to an improved idea. BY doing this
repeatedly YOU can acquire the
habit of imagining more than you
see--of creating new ideas and
plans. Reading stimulates the
imagination - writing out ones
ideas does even more.
But a good slice OF imagination
is a tremendous help in business.

And this instinct sent the letter
into his breast pocket as a light

next instant Rue Carew entered the

Neeland regarded the little dog

approval.

ing of any business use. All l
have is Imagination" she walled.
And she thought Imagination was
marketable thing only in the
writer's study.
But imagination is truly the most
interesting equipment that anyone
can have for business life. With
imagination a woman is ready not
merely to go and get job; she has
the superior faculty Of creating a
job, even in places where none used
to exist.
Most women with imagination
who have to go to business seek
only one outlet for their abilities
advertising. 1t is true that the
writer of advertising must be a
person of keen imagination, able to
pictureize an article and its posi-
bilties and to paint the picture in
attractive and convincing Ian
guage. But il is not alone in the
handling OF words that imagination
is so valuable a business force.
Imagination in business is the
basic power that leads to invention.
1t was imagination that inspired
some one to see the wastefulnesS
of writing with a pen when letters
could be machine written. The
telephone, telegraph, calculating
machines, improved office systems.
electrical devices-all these inven-
tions came for men and women who
used their Imagination as well as
their eyes.
Imagination will do as much for

of study. For with imagination
