Forgot What He Needed.

From the Republican, Mt Giliad, Ohio
The editor had an interesting experience
some time ago, when young gentleman
came to this office and asked for a copy
of the Morrow County Republican. .ie
scrutinized It carefully when a copy was
handed him, and then said: "Now l
know" What is it you are looking for
we inquired. "My wife sent me after a
bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
and I forgot the name. went to sever
al stores and theclerks named over every
in the line on the shelf except Chamber
lain's" I'll try again, and I'll never go
home without Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy" The republican would suggest
to the proprietors of stores, that they post
their clerks, and never let them substi-
tute. Customers lose faith in stores
where substituting is permitted, to say
nothing to the injustice to makers of good
goods and the disappointment of customers

The foundation Of society rests
on it's homes. The success of the
home rests on the wives. There
fore. first of all, teach our girls
how to be successful wives. Be-
gin early to train their character.
Teach them that jealousy is an
immortality and that gossip is
viceo Train them to keep the
smallest promise sacredly and to
speak to people as they would
like to be spoken to. Teach them
to look for the best qualities in
every one they meet, and to no.
tice other peoples faults only to
avoid them. Train them to do
small things well. and to delight
in helping others. That sacrifice
made for the pleasure Of others is
a means of soul development.
Once given firm foundation Of
character like this, which the poor
est as well as the richest parents
can give to their girls, and no
matter what necessity arises they
will be able to rise above it.-Se-
lected.

1t is better to have the reputa
ton of paying your honest debts
than of being leader in society.
All the glory of social life cannot
compensate for the ignominy of
getting thru on false pretenses.
The wretchedness Of man or wo-
man who for the sake of display,
is hunted day and night by credi-
tors. who almost fear to walk the
streets is pitiable. There must be
an end to him and bitter one.
Character is worth more than
clothes, and independence than
the social swim. 1t may not cut
as great sweep or attract as
much attention but it will last
longer and bring them much re-
ward in the end.-Abbeville Prog
ress.

proposition to submit which re-,
quires an alteration Of the const'-
tuition, there is no reason that It
should not be consideded.
George WASHINGTON and his as
sociates did some very radical
things in their day. They mace
the constitution of the United
States and left us a recommends
ton that we keep out Of European
alliances and quarrels. At any
time that any generations OF
people don t improve on their an
ceStors and are not ready to 20
ahead and establish precedents,
that they make really poor show
ing. There are intellectual weak
lings who cannot decide for them
selves what is right or wrong. EX-
pedient or inexpedient, there are
people who bow down al. their
lives to establish presidents, but
they don t help the world move.
The CHASTITY, naked fact is that
running under the old system Of
the world broke into
war in 1916. That this war has
nearly destroyed civilization and
that some effort must be made by
the sane people Of the world t.
prevent recurrence of this kind
of business. We are in favor of
having every possible safeguard
made to our joining the League Of
Nations. We think that we should
if possible. reserve the right TO
on notice. We favor the
fullest debate on this subject and
criticize no one for disagreeing
with Mr.. Wilson on it. But bear
ia mind always this. The old way
has failed. Bear in mind that
when you logically reject the
League of Nations you may be
properly asked to suggest some
hing better. Can Won do it.

LEAGUE OF NATIONS

American thought on the
League of Nations seems TO be cen
ttrlng its objection on several
E'HOints.
~ First, there were seme questions
as to how the league would affec
the status Of the Panama cana.
This is cleared up by the state
ment that it is proposed to leave
this the property Of the United
States, and that no attempt viii
be made to internationalize il.
Next. there was question of the
Monroe Doctrine. We note a sug-
Eestion made that the authority
of the league will possibly be di-
vided SO that the American con
tlnents will largely settle their
own affairs. AS the league Is
formed on the assumption that
the United States navy is to equal
that of any other power in the
world, and as we are too have an
GILL VI IIOIH 1--WE 10 JcH tllutS
the size Of our old army. it is rea-
sonable to assume that the United
States viii ba in a position to
care for its rights and those of the
Central and South American
states as well under this arrange
ment as it has in the past.
Clearer cut understandings
about immigration to other coun-
tries, the nature Of concessions
that may properly be granted,
and the methods that are proper
for governments to take to protect
the lives and property of citizens
In other countries. should be ar
rived at by the American repub-
lie and by the world. The league
should help in this. We do not
see where if can hinder. AS to
the leagues or World Pact -onf3i'-
ting with the war-making powers
Of the United States Congress we
are not clear. Certainly. Mr.. Wi
Son and his associates and advis-
ers in Paris should not I've suppos.
ed to have knowingly made an
agreement counter to the cOnsti-
tuition, and if they have good
