Americans Too Temperate

Thousands of Americans are now in
France, spending profits made by
manufacturing war materials fol-
France. France will thus make pro-
fits off Americans to pay her wal
debt.
Frenchmen send to America for
something to eat. Americans are ex-
pected to go to France for something
10 drink, because America has had
prohibition for a year. But the hotel
keepers in Paris are disappointed in
finding that Americans drink much
less than usual. The brisk trade and
big profits anticipated are not ma
turing.
1t has been said that a man cannot
be made moral by law, but it is true
that Claw is our school master" to
lead Us to the spirit of truth when ou1
minds become capable of comprehen-
sion.
It would appear the U. S. law OF
prohibition has been a school master
to some who have had their old habits
broken to continue when they visit
France.

American Red Cross
To Give Rural Help
Program for Public Health and
Community Welfare is Now
Well Under Way

Rural communities and towns Of less
large part by the public health and
community welfare work of the Ameri-
can Red Cross. Almost all Of the
$500 Red Cross chapters have some
rural sections In their territory. There
fore the Red Cross Rural Service.
Briefly, the purpose Of Rural Serv-
Ice Is to assist people to get out of life
more health. wealth and happiness. In
this purpose public health instruction
and general educational progress of
both children and adults play a big
part.
Recreation is found to be n of the
biggest needs in rural life. There Is
lack of sufficient play-life for the chill
dren and social life for the adults.
Picnlcs, pageants, debating clubs,
baseball leagues. community singing
and other social events which bring
the people Of surrounding communities
together have been organized and car
ried on under the guidance of Red
Cross rural workers to great advan-
tage. In many instances solving rec
reational problems and getting people
together proves to be the awakening
of the community to other conditions
which may be improved by united
action.
AS a result of community organiza-
ton, townships in which there had
been neither plans nor Interest in
community progress have been organ
lied to work together with the unified
purpose of bringing their community
up to the most enlightened standards.
Lecture and musical entertainment
courses have been started as a result
of community meetings, as we'll as cir
culating librari IS, Red Cross schools OF
instruction in Home Nursing, Care of
the, Sick and First Aid. In the Larger
towns the need for restrooms and pub
lie comfort stations is being met. Play
grounds for the children have been
established and recreatronSi activities
worked out for the year.
In order that there may be concerted
effort In carrying on the programs of
the various welfare agencies In the
rural districts. Red Cross Rural Serv-
ice helps the organizations already on
the ground. The main object Of the
service is. to lend a hand everywhere
and take the lead only where neces-
sary.

JUNIOR RED CROSS
T In EUROPE

Garden seeds FOR Polish orphans,
milk for anaemie Greek babies, car
penters' tools for Czeche-S lovakiaH
cripples-these are only a few of the
gifts that young Americans are send
ing to the war-crushed children of the
Old World.
Through the Junior Red Cross the
boys and girls of the United States
are giving a fresh start in life to little
war orphans scattered all over Europe.
They have set up orphans homes in
France, school colonies In Belgium and
Montenegro, and Say schools in AL
bania.
They are sending dozens of young
Syrians, M~ontenegrins, and Albanians
to American colleges in C~onstantinople
and Beirut, and maintaining more than
a hundred orphans of French soldiers
at colleges and trade schools. In or
phanages and farm schools up and
down the peninsula Of Italy there are
nearly 500 wards of American Juniors.
Last winter a thousand French chill
dren from the inadequate shelters of
the devasted regions were sent by the
Junior Red Cross to spend the Geld
aonths IN warmer parts of France.
At the same time five thousand little
Belgians were having a hot lunch every
day at Junior Red Cross school can
Gems.
American school children have al
ready raised something like a million
dollars for these enterprises. and they
are still hard at work.
In China, through campaigns of ed.
ucati0n, the Junior RED Cross is help

Six Cents on The Dollar

That is the amount the creditors OF
James Smith, Jr., will receive from a
man WHO ten years ago was rated as
a millionaire. Not only a millionaire
but a u. S. Senator from 1893-99, and
the political boss of New Jersey who
dispensed patronage and had many po-
litical sycophants.
In. November, 1915, former Senator
Smith resigned as President of the
Federal Trust Company of Newark, N.
j., and made an assignment. The
claims against him aggregated
S2,3O1, 686.58. After deducting pref
erential claims the balance for credi-
tors was $161,186, of which S10,207.27
were given to the assignee. One
claim of $239,879 by a brokerage firm
was refused by court on the ground
the sum represented money used for
gambling in stocks. Thus ONE to a
sad financial end a former political
leader who represented Wall Street in
the U. S. Senate.
1t makes the editor of the Penns
Grove Record recall that Tuesday
night in January, 1898, in Trenton,
when the Democratic legislature turn
ed down Gov. Leon Albeit, n of the
greatest Governors New Jersey ever
had. When the Democrats elected a
majority of the Legislature all the
people expected Leon Albeit to be the
next U. S. Senator, which he deserv-
ed. But the Wall Street influence had
Smith elected and Albeit was defeat
ed because, as Governor, he had made
the railroad corporations pay unpre-
cedent taxes, altho they had irrepeal-
able charters, so called. By doing so
the property wners were relieved of
Il direct State tax to support the State
Government for the first time in many
years.
Those legislators who elected James
Smith, Jr., Senator, also passed the
laws permitting a track gambling
and brought the party into d~isrepute
for thirteen years until the election of
Woodrow Wilson to be Governor in
1910.
To bring back character and a mas
ter mind to the Democratic party it is
to the credit of James Smith, Jr., that
he solicited Woodrow Wilson to be-
come a candidate for Governor, but his
motive was to put himself back into
the U. S. Senate on Wilson's pres
tige. But Gov. Wilson reminded the
legislators in 1911 that there was such
a thing as a solemn obligation in gov
eminent and that they should abide
by the preferential referendum in ia
vor of James E. MARITIME who filled a
needed vote in passing progressive
legislation thru the U. S. Congress
such as MI. Smith had voted against
while Senator.
Wall Street used James Smith, Jr.,
as long as it could be done. When he
lost his political power he went to
bankruptcy like a squeezed lemon.
He was not needed and was not saved
in his stock gambling. Wall Street is
now using his Senatorial successors.
The ups and downs in the financial
and political world are wonderful.
True history is as wonderful and in
teresting as fiction and more worthy
to be studied.
We wish to give James Smith, Jr.,
now a political and financial down and
outer, due credit for starting Woodrow
WILSON on his worfd-famous political
career, altho his motive may have
been selfish and not the patriotism of
principles.
He can now appreciate how Leon
Albeit felt on that memorable night
of the Democratic caucus in January,
1893.

AMERICANISM

His (the a~nsrchist's) protest

NJ OF long before Roosevelt wrote
IN these words William Mckinley
had died at the hand of an anarchist
assassin. At that time as today the
plea generally of the assassin and the
incendiary was that his was
that of the working men of America
and that only through the channels
of violence could come the ark of hap
piness and safety for the toilers. All
Americans who are worth a pinch OF

ments. Conservatism is not necessar-
ily reaction. The extreme radical,
however, at times finds the way easy
into the field of anarchy. Progress
goes hand in hand with enlightenment
which comes from study. But prog
ress sometimes is conservative. The

of anarchy is a. progressive although
his comrades VINO stay in the held VIII
call him something else.
The political institutions of this
country were founded by the Fathers
with the intention of affording equal
ity of opportunities to all American
citizens. These political institutions
have endured. The way to reform Is
through the ballot box American
citizens are voters. They can work
their will. Our political institutions
afford opportunity to every honest

did not, then. as Theodore Roosevelt
saws. "the door of hope is forever
closed against him."
II is just as true today as II was
when Roosevelt wrote his message

Just keep in mind that the beating

Just keep in mind that the beating
down in the price of stocks, bonds and
securities just now by the money pow
er in Wall STREET is being done to dis
credit the National Administration, so
they may get an underhold at the next
election. Wall Street ran the U. S.
Treasury for so years by controlling
every President from Lincoln to Wood
row Wilson, but has not done so the
past seven years. That is the politi-
cal rub. Some of the feeble minded
