COMMUNITY SINGING

The interest shown at the meeting
last Sunday evening in the community
singing was unusual for several reas-
ons, the chief Of which was the state
ment made to the audience that its
continuance under present leadership
must be decided by the community for
whose benefit and entertainment il had
been originated and conducted. The
committee in charge had been very
fortunate in securing the leadership
Of two young women of the town who
had spent large sum of money, much
time and labor in perfecting training
which would TT them for this profess
sion; that these two young women had
given six evenings, covering period
Of twelve weeks absolutely without
charge, Of their capital in trade, and
felt that they had contributed as much
as they could afford. If their services
were properly appreciated they felt
that small compensation must be
provided in the future. The commit
tee had asked what charge they felt
would be the least they could afford to
accept, and could state that il would
cost the community 500 each time II
the present plan was to continue.
There are two alternatives: either to
continue meeting under non-profes-
sional leadership, or to discontinue the
community singing. There was evil
dent desire to continue under pres
ent plans and after some remarks
from the floor II was decided to defer
decision until we meet again on Sun
lay evening, May 18th, the leaders
being engaged for that date. A free
will offering was taken amounting to
$50. Please come to the next meet
ng for community singing prepared
o vote on this question. II has been
suggested that perhaps twelve persons
would volunteer 70 stand behind a
hortage to the amount Of say Is cents
or each session il q collection were
ways taken. Who viii volunteer
ONE 10 the meeting and tell US.

GENERAL MOOD

Senator Moses, of New Hampshire,
recently in contact with his constitu-
ents, reports a growing conviction that
General Leonard Wood is to be a
Presidential candidate in 1920, and
predicts that il he is nominated he is
practically certain to be elected.
General Wood was born in New
Hampshire, and his native state Graves
the honor of submitting his name TO
the nominating convention. He en-
tered the army from Massachusetts,
and many in the Bay State think the
privilege should be hers. Kansas has
adopted him as one of her beloved cit
liens, and voices favoring him come
out Of this modest state. The rivalry
suggests that in one respect General
Wood meets one condition Of Presi-
Dental candidate--he lis big enough to
be seen across the country.
Some Of those who do not look with
favor on the Wood candidacy, men
who fear II and would head it off, have
industriously insinuated the idea that
soreness" is not wide enough plat
form. The proposition is doubtless
sound, but IL does not apply. An at
tractive quality Of General Wood is
his stcadfast refusal to be sore. Other
men might have been when he was
shunied to side track when the war
began, or when a board OF doctors was
called in seemingly with the purpose
to retire him as an invalid, or when
he was denied an opportunity for for
eign service. But he was so busy with |
duties that he had no time for other
thoughts.
In the Presidency America prizes
character more than anything else,
and character is not shown by what
particular job a man holds, but by the
way he reacts to jobs placed on him.

when they decided to build substan-

The barn has been needed for several

ore building the new barn. The Ben

Postmaster-General Burleson seems
to keep himself open to criticism most
Of the time. one Of the latest being
his radical change Of the rural free
delivery system in some sections Of
the country. The State Grange Of
New York State have protested
against this change and state that Mr..
Burlcson's statement that it didn't
make any difference when the farmer
got his mail, was wholly wrong and
that they were entitled to and need
~ good mail service as any other
class. Matters are going from bad to

high time that some cure be found.

VIEWS OF TWO DEMOCRATS
VI % u
Bailey Stands Aghast
(SpeciaI Correspondence

| N0RSSlai SOIiCSPVI0CIiNG)
! Washington, April 29-Former Sen
ator Joseph w. Bailey in recent oper
letter to Attorney General A. Mitchell
Palmer in which the question is rails.
ed, "Who is a Democrat ?" brought Out
a great amount of discussion both in
official and private circles in the Ma
tional Capital. James S. Ford, Bos-
tonian stopping in Washington during
the controversy expressed great
pleasure over Senator Bailey's letter
and stated that it would attract wide
interest throughout the country among
"those members of the party who have
been faithful to the principles OF
Democracy as laid down in the days Of
Jefferson"
Thousands upon thousands" he
continued, shave stood in silent amaze
ment at some Of the acts and policies
of the Wilson administration and have
strained themselves to reconcile them
with true Democratic principles. They
have wondered who is Democrat as
they have seen the administration
link itself with socialists and radicals
of the most dangerous sort, even
though those near-reds do not come
out in the open. Since the inception
of the Democratic party it has been a
fundamental principle Of the party to
protect jealousy the rights of the
State against the aggression Of Fed
eral power, but the old idea of States
rights has been utterly abandoned by
the Wilsonian type of Democrat.
States have been overriden and the
individual rights Of the citizens have
been usurped by series Of admins
tration acts until now the menace of
Alexander Hamilton's policies in the
infant days of the republic pale into
insignificance."
The Bostonian further states that,
American history does not hold any
record Of such wanton recklessness
with the peoples money as shown by
the present administrative. Il seems
now that what Senator Bailey calls
the arrogant Office holders cannot
talk in terms Of anything but billion. |
The Democrats in power are plunging
into financial disaster for
rich and poor alike and am glad that
