TIE UNSTABLE EARTH.

Quite frequently we are reminded,
tragic nature, that this old earth Of
ours is very far from being as stable
and substantial as it sometimes ap-
pears. Just now the people in the
vicinity of Los Angeles are having
the instability of the earth brought
forctbly to their attention. The re-
cent tremors there have done no great
damage in any n spot. Masonry
has cracked here and there. some
plaster has dropped off, and a few
bricks have been shaken loose. But
the residents are being subjected to a
strain which is anything but
comfortable. Twice within a few
weeks the earth has trembled under
their feet, evidence that somewhere
underneath something was pinching
and slipping. Have the earth and
rock strata now settled into the places
they are to occupy for the next gen
GRAFTON Or century, or are the tremors
which have occurred. mere Fremont
tions Of the real adjustment which is
to come later, and which may loosen
things from their very foundations?
These are questions which will, lie
present in the minds of the people
Of the affected district all the time,
And 1t will be some time before a
heavy truck a pass down a Los
Angeles street in the middle of the
night without getting a lot of people

which he lacks. A house and lot of
given size and quality cost just SO

he can buy or build. If he has not

If he borrows the money he must pay
it back, all Of it, with interest. He
can obtain money on no other terms
unless he can find some one willing
to make him a present.

undertaken to raise the money neces-
sary by inviting Investments from
private individuals. In order to at
tract such investments it must pay
interest comparable with the rates
which can be obtained in other forms
of investment. If it does not do this
it will not get the money. People who
have money to invest, in large or
small sums, will invest it in those
sound securities which will yield them
the best returns.
To break v on the business the
state must charge its borrowers as
much interest as it pays plus enough
to cover the cost Of conducting the
business. And it costs the state more
to do business than it costs a private
concern. The result is that the rates
charged by the state must be substan-
TALLY to those charged by a private
loanlng concern. unless the state is
to do business at a loss and charge
the difference up in taxes. !.

NO LEAGUE OF APPRECIATION.

In = college commencement address
delivered a short time ago. former
Secretary Lane declared that in spite
OF the fact that we are the greatest
organization people in the world, we
are yet one organization short we
have clubs, societies, declarations and
fraternities without number. but Mr..
Lane thinks that we need still n
more. Where, he asked, is our League
of Appreciation?
Celebrating this thought he said
that when a mar does a fine thing in
public life we should let him know
that we appreciate it. There should
be a common understanding that
when a man performs his duty he
should get more compensation than
his salary or his WI self-approval.
Mr.. Lane said he was free to speak
frankly and boldly OF this sub
ject, because he was out of public
life, and when he was in it he was
treated with the utmost generosity.
Illustrating his point he cited two
in which recently public officials
have acquitted themselves in a par
ticularly commendable manner, and
he ask how many people have
thought to send either of them a
word of appreciation. The forces of
malevolence. he said, are constantly
at work, tearing down and destroy
ing. Why should not the construct
i've forces be equally alert in the pro-
motion of honesty and courage in our
public men?
Undoubtedly Mr.. Lane is right.
The lack which he deplores does ex-
tst And he Is too shrewd a man not
to understand that one of the reasons
for its existence is the hide-bound
~paStisanship which influences too
many Of u thoughts and governs
too many of our actions.
Does a public official acquit him
seh we'll Laud him to the skies if
he.h OF u party. But If he happens
to belong to the opposition, praise
would do, because that praise
VIII be used to make political medi-
ctne for the party and all it's candi-
dates. good, bad and Indifferent, in
tho. next campaign. That is one OF
tho curses of the party system. Thus
Tar no method of conducting the af-
fairs Of a democracy efficiently with
out political parties has been devised,
but n of the defects Of that system
Is the tendency to place the solidarity
of.fhe organization above the service
which it and its members render to
tn public.

There is a very pronounced mutually of interest bevteen a Street Car

II the Company, for instance, cmngs o antiquated and less efficient tools,
its outlay becomes burdensome and this burden is reflected in the service and

On the other hand; if the tools are uptodate and designed to give a

Softly, like the falling OF . neecy
snowflake, or the waiting to earth
of downy feather, came the Angel
of the Lord to earth shortly after
midnight on February 81 and ear
ried back to the Realms Of Glory
the soul Of one Of Gods chosen.
Ronda Sandefur. second son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. f. l.. Ssndefur, was
born at Beaver Dam. Kentucky, oc-
tober IS, 1909, and departed from
this world for the Great Beyond,
Feb. 81, 1920. being 10 years, 4
months and s days old. Yet in that
short life he had accomplished more
than most men do who live the allot-
ted three score years and ten"
He spent the early years OF his
life with his family and was consid-
cred by those who knew him to be
model boy, growing up into young
manhood the most highly respect
ed young man in the community.
He was self-sacrificing, always think
ing of others and doing good wher-
ever opportunity Afforded itself.
Near the first OF this year he came
to Newcastle with some friends to
seek employment. He went to
work at the Indiana Rolling Mill,
where he was employed until his
death.
No other young man ever came to
the city who made more friends or
accomplished more ~9cd in 500

and his cheerful, ..-Iy disposition
won a place in every heart. AS one
of his friends made the remark

to know him was to- love him"
He Immediately OH coming to this
city enrolled in the Young Mems BIZ
BILE class of the Baptist church and
was always present, not only at Sun
day school but all church services.
He was an earnest, upright Chris
tian character, not afraid to let the
world know that he had explicit
faith in God.
-- During the month OF January he
enrolled as student in the Newcas-
tie Business College, where he soon
became one of the most popular
students in school. He was hard
worker and made rapid advance
ment. Both the faculty and student
body of the school feel his loss very
keenly.
On February IL he went to the
Clinic for treatment and was found
to be suffering from encephilitis, or
sleeping sickness His parents |
were notified at once and came, and |
all that could be done was done but
to no avail. His work here was
completed; he was in line for pro-
motion and God called him on.
