Looking Backward

II seems to be the invariable rule
for the passing generation to see de-
generation in the present generation. ..
Without exception the older people
are convinced that the world lost
something when the things which
were the JOY of their youth passed
out of the life of the community.
The same is true of the more SER
ious things of life. 1t is hard to be-
lieve that the leaders of today ap-
proach the lofty intellects of the
past. The things of today seemed
sordid and petty compared to the
great ideals of yesterday.
But the world moves on and each
generation while secretly convinced
that the achievements and ideals of
their day we're the most noteworthy
the world has seen they look into
the future with doubts and missiv-
ing principally because they are
convinced that the coming genera
ton is not up to the standard of the
old order.
It is hard to believe that the
things of youth were not far more
interesting and worth while than
what is before the youth of today.
but the most futile thing in the
world is barking back to something
10 the fond belief that it will again
be revived when the conditions that
made it worth while have long since
disappeared.
Opinions and Conditions change
and with them methods and beliefs
and enjoyments.
1t is but waste of time to try to
revive thing after its day ha s pass
ed. To be progressive one needs
must move with the world and very
often the very thing we see as a
great evil today is something in
little different form that we enthus-
iastically approved of only a short
time back The biggest change is
always in the individual and sell
dom in the race

Making the News

A great many newspapers in Or
der to keep up the great headline
features of the war are seizing upon
small affairs or poorly substantial
ed rumors and featuring them be
yond all justification of their i'm
portance. This may be good busi-
mess in some ways but it has bad
effect on the public mind.
For instance after a man reads
one day of a gigantic plot Clines
across the front page) to kill the
President the next day great plot to
start q revolution in the United
States. the next day prospect of a
renewal of the war. and then a
great riot by American soldiers in
London or somewhere else, always
featured in a manner to give the
impression of great importance. he
is apt to conclude that the whole
world is in bad way and we are
daily treading on dynamite.
Such a feeling will not help re-
construction in the country. And
the basis of it all is absolutely no.
thing when sifted down.
The thing of importance now is
to get as near a peace of justice as
soon as possible and let the United
States resume its accustomed busi-
ness of minding its own affairs -

There Was Reason

When Missouri entered upon her
vigorous poultry culling campaign
she unawares deprived the commits
sion men of a considerable source
of profit. They had formed the
habit of taking as clean velvet"
the eggs, Casually from one to two
dozen in each crste) laid enroute
from the country to the central
market.
This winter. when the manager of
one Of the poultry firms which buys
the surplus from Missouri fiocks
noticed that his boys" were not
turning in the customary number
of frees" he at once suspected that
someone connected with the plant
was appropriatine the eggs
He promptly started an investi
cation which reached all the way
from Chicago to Missouri before It
found the gully party. When the
investigators reached here, they
round the farm bureau had been
carrying on an active poultry Gull
ing campaign and that the farmers
and poultrvmen were selling the
only the hens which neither had
laid or which were now loafing on
their jobs.
The manager of the Chicago
house now knows why there is such
slim picking" in his crates.

Should Remember Recent Horrors.

"These are terrible facts, and we
ought never to forget them. We went
into this war to do o thing that was
fundamental for the world and what
have come out on this journey for is
to determine whether the country has
forgotten or not. l have found out.
The country has not forgotten and it
will never permit any who stands
in the way of the fulfillment of our
great pledges, ever to forget the sor-
rowful day he made the attempt"
Arbitration and discussion, the pres
ident pointed out, must replace force
of arms in the settlement Of world
controversies. Constantly he dwells
upon the fact that all the nations In
the League agree to do one OF two
things, first to submit their differences
to arbitration, in which case they
agree to abide by the decision rem
dered, or, if unwilling to arbitrate, to
have their case discussed by the Coun-
ell of the League, in which case six
months is granted for discussion.
Three months must elapse following
the result of this last step in arbitra-
ton before the nation concerned can
declare war.
Holds out Hope For ireland.

ence that he believes Ireland can bring
her case before the Leagre Of Nations
for settlement when the League is
actually in existence.
