Some unknown writer has written
the following. Read it, and decide
which you will be-a knocker or
booster: :,
sWhen the Creator had made all
the good things, it seemed that there
was still some dirty work to do, so
He made the savage beasts; the rep
tiles and the poisonous insects; ana
when he had finished He had some
old scraps left over that were too bad
to put into the rattlesnake, the hyena,
the scorpion, and the skunk; so He
put all these together, covered it with
suspicion, wrapped it with Jealousy,
marked If. with a yellow streak, and
called it a knocker.
"This product was so fearful to
contemplate that He had to make
something to contradict it, so He took
a sunbeam, put into it the heart of
child, the brain of man, wrapped 1t
in civic pride, covered it with brother
ly love, made it believer in equality
and justice, a worker for and support
er of every good thing in the COM
munity and called it a booster.
"And ever since then, mortal man
has had the privilege of choosing his
associates"
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1920-07-28

A woman who kisses another wom-
an on the street must have about the
same effect upon the latter as a back
slapping man has upon the man
whose back is slapped.

When you see "city farmer" driv-
ing around in an expensive automo-
bile and living in fine house, he
didn't get those things out of farm

THE CAR SHORTAGE.

1t is proposed to institute a congress
sional investigation of the shortage in
freight cars. The Nations Business
apparently leans to the opinion that
heavy demurrage levy would be
more efficacious as a remedy for the
existing conditions than would a con-
gressional inquiry.
| 1t is not improbable that the deficit
in railroad earnings under government
operation would have been greatly re-
duced if the roads had been in a posi-
ton to handle all the traffic offered
There is not and has not been for a
long time a sufficient number of cars
to handle the business of the country.
Freight cars simply do not exist in
sufficient numbers to go around. They
are lacking for exactly the same rea-
son that keeps housing from being up
to requirements. During the war. new
houses and new railroad cars did not
| receive their proportionate share of
attention. The railroad administra-
ton acknowledges that acquisition of
freight cars during federal control was
less than under private control. and
that none at all were ordered in 1919.
Even If there were adequate equip
ment in cars. it would be tested; traf-
fic is heavy. The railroad administra-
ton has announced that a week in
January, 1920. showed $4,000 more
| cars of freight loaded than the CORE
spending week in 1919, and 216,OOO
more than for the corresponding week
in 1918. At the same time there was
prospect of still heavier traffic in Feb
ruary and March.
Shipment of farm products to mar
ket and Of manufactured products,
especially building materials, are be-
ing delayed to an extent that inter-
feres seriously with the business of all
| classes of persons

Daily Talk
AMERICA AND AMERICANS.


In recent issue of the Saturday
Evening Post, George Horace Lori
mer, its 1G0 per cent editor. had this
to say in one of his virile editorials:
"Our great prosperity has been due to
two factors - America and Ameri-
cans!"
America is a big country. It is very
young Its ideals are as big as have
been its problems. Big men and
women have always interknitted its
vast structure And SO America has
grown.
Broad, big, generous people are all
ways found in new countries-with
vision usually taking much of the
place ordinarily given over to selfish
ness. In such countries. also, trade
grows keen in its competition. And
the invitation for new workers is
strong. So it has come about that
America has absorbed fast. Ameri-
cans have been in the making all the
time.
America held out it's hands and
said-comei
And they came. fast and various,
from every quarter of the globe. We
are glad that they came-those who
came to be Americans. But those
who came to whisper. and later to
shout aspersions against the name of
America. and it's flag and all that it
stood for in right and decency, we
despise with a holy hatred. We have
no place for such-at any price.
America is for Americans - and
Americans alone.
Many, men of money. it is true, sold
large pieces of their honor In order
to tempt to our shores those Who had
no design of becoming one of us. And
now they have their mess of potage-
that sickens them. And sickens those
of US all who love the great right
things for which America stands.
The vision of Washington and Lin
coin must ultimately become the
vision of US all.
America must be made safe for
Americans. Our children must get
the spell of pride that we got. Every
man and woman who will not get in
line must get out. These pregnant
fields of ours hold sacred blood. And
the memory of those who gave all
that they had to make it's life glori-
Gus, shall not be despoiled by those
whose minds rack with poison and
anarchy.
This is America country for both
the weak and the strong-but not for
the sick and diseased of soul
America is for Americans "a and
Americans alonel
