MANY CARlLLONS WERE SAVED
stroyed by Hun Ravases Of
the Country.

Thinking Of peace memorials, the
United States will be the richer for
the possession Of carillons, those gi-
gsntic bell-pianos, rs they might be
cs;i'sd, for which Belgium was, and
happily can still be famous. Many Of
s,r carillons, with from 3S to 81 bells,
ranging from little ones that weigh
only a few pounds to big ones Of six
or seven tons, were destroyed by shell
fire or enemy spoliation, but some OF
the best have survived uninjured. The
bells of Iseghem were taken away by
the Germans, and recnptured and
brought back by the British. The
carlton OF Malines survived In a tow
er that was seven times hit by artil-
lery; but the keyboard was smashed
from which Josef Benyn. one OF the
greatest bell-masters In the world,
bravely rang out the national airs Of
Belgium while the invaders were get

want them, and they went down with

GOOD MANNERS

Hendricks Pioneer - In a personal
letter 10 the editor Of the Pioneer the
other day a very dear and tried old
friend, among other things listed the
qualities which should be found in one
who claims rightly 10 be a person of
culture. After laying particular en-
phasis upon courtesy, he set down as
a fundamental ~shortcoming in any
such person ignorance of the things,
which as he expressed il, ARE beauti
tul to do and good TO know"
In this dictum is to be discovered
n of the possibilities OF the human
heart which makes the world a good
place in which to live. Among all
the virtues (and courtesy may be
called a yirtue) there is none which
so directly concerns our neighbor as
the exercise of kindness, tact and un
Outstanding in u dealings with him.
As civilization progresses intercourse
between man and man becomes more
intimate. Our dependence upon each
other increases daily. We find that
our w~ell-being and happiness may be
made or marred to a great extent by
those about US. And we have thrust
upon us the knowledge that happiness
may be assured in no better manner
than by copious libations Of hat

marked that they cost nothing. When
they have become a part of ones

haust his store, and he needs only

fu-e. proposes amendments 10 the inn
migration laws requiring each state II
make period cal reports in detail OF

its ftness TO his needs. In other
words, the way 10 solve the immigra.
tlon problem is to scatter the immi.

them where they are most needed.
Some years ago an earnest and in
telligent southern writer contended
that the way to solve the negro prob.
lem was to put an end to the conges.
ton of blacks in the southern states
n scatter them throughout the whole
union, the hope of the south indus
trially and in all ways being bound

hrst scattering to speak of began,
under the lure Of war prices for
labor, southern employers promptly in
creased the pay they were Offering in
order to keep the migrating blacks
az home. A similar issue would fol.
low any attempt to place" the incom.
ing immigrants. Free men in a free
country cannot be carted to any chosen
location and advised to stay put. The
immigrants can be advised, but they
must and will be allowed to follow in
dividual inclination and go where they
hope to find the most promising OBJ
portunities to better their condition. !

s. SO

Up TO the present time there has
been very little external evidence of a
political campaign going on in Brook
ings. The few political speakers who
have given addresses here found but
small and unenthusiastic audiences.
With only eleven days before the big
election, everything is smooth, serene
and unrufied. There have been no
lively discussions on the outcome of
the national, state or county elections.
Political arguments on the streets are
rare. The apathy is general and pro-
nounced. 1t is evident that the elect
ors of Bookings have done their own
thinking and have made their deci-
sions. They don't take much stock in
political oratory and they read the
newspapers with a grain Of salt. The
can be safely drawn that
old style election campaign with
and torchlight professions
be a sheer waste of time and
money in Brookings in these enlight-
sned days.
