A FAKE DEMOCRACY

A FAKE DEMOCRACY"
Washington, Apsl 3-The Repub-
lican Publicity Association today gave
out the following statement from its
Washington headquarters:
'1n IN ancient fable which contains
wealth Of wisdom, the story is told
Of ! tailor who pretended 10 have dis
covered process by which a textile
could be produced which would be vis-
ible only to those who are honest. The
story Of this invention was brought to
the ears of the King who saw immedi-
ately the usefulness Of such a mate
rial He caused all Of his chancellors
and men in high official positions TO
be taken TO the shop of the tailor and
clat athes made for them of this marvel
Gus fabric; and when the clothes were
Tnsdc caused his officers to be brought
into his presence and the clothes fitt,d
upon them. Tie tailor went through
the motions of putting the garments
upon the chancellors, each Of whom
expressed admiration for the product
o. the tlilors art. The king found
that the clothes were invisible 20 him,
but, being unwilling to acknowle lye
the fact, also joined in the praise. AZ
ter this process lad been applied to
mary Of his official employees, the king
decided TO try a suit for himself.
"Great interest, in the meantime,
had been aroused among the people Of
his kingdom. Everyone who had been
prosent when the taiiorB pretended to
put clothing on the officials, asserted
his ability to see the clothing, and
there were loud expressions OF com
mendation Of the beauty OF the fabric.
I'm due time a suit was made for
the ldng himself and on great state
occasion he stood up before the popu-
lace to have the robes placed upon his
person. As the tailors went through
their usual performances all of his
officials and the populaee in general
were loud in their acclaim Of the beau
/ ~ of the colors and designs. No one
would acknowledge that he could see
no clothing on the king, until at last
child exclaimed, but he has nothing
on Whereupon all the people real
lied that each had been undertaking
deception, that none of them had seen
any clothing on any Of the officials,
and that the tailor was monstrous
pretender.
"The fable is not without applica-
tion in our own country and our own
time. Seven years ago the American
people elected as President man who
pretended TO have discovered new
freedom - a new and more perfect
'Jcmocracy'--a democracy which in
c.i.Ied pitiless publicity-goyernment
in the open--an executive who took
counsel with tile legislative branch Of
the governmental democracy inN
which the people should he close to
| tier chief executive. For seven years
this rev style Of political clothing has
been exhibited to the populace and
from al directions there has come
laudation Of the species Of democracy
wiicl Mr.. Wilson has displayed with
50 much demonstration. Ia It's later
description this new democracy inclu-
ded open covenants openly arrived at',
and self determination for the weak

MRS. MARGARET LITTLE.

y EDWooD County owes real debt of gra,
X ttude to Mrs. Margaret Little of Redwood
Falls who for the past years has served
as the chairman of the Redwood County Chap
ter Of the American Red Cross. Mrs. Little has
ter of the American Red Cross and who has now
retired from that position. Mrs. Little has
been untiring in her work as leader of the chap
ter answering in her devotion to the cause for
which the organizations stands, and, coupled with
these two characteristics of her work, has been
an ability which has made It possible for her to
carry the work forward to the best advantage.
At the Northern Headquarters in Minneapolis
many kind and apprecative things have been
said of the Redwood County Red Cross Chap
ter and much of the credit for this wonderful
work is due Mrs Little Interested in the work
from the moment the first call came at the be-
ginning of the war; Mrs. Little has been satisfied
to work in the ranks to in the not-a-
ways pleasant task of leadership. Her attitude
has been consistently that of Here | am, send
me-, and where she has been duty-sent she has
gone surely and faithfully. Often her work was
done at extreme physical discomfort and incon-
venience, but with lack of hesitation which
showed how keenly she felt the necessity of its
being carried to fufillment. Whoever her sue
cessor may be in the Chapter he will be able to
better do his work because of the wonderful and
systematic work done by Mrs. Little and by hav-
ing the beacon light of her shining example to
guide him forward.

men to the Home. and paid the bills"


There you have it! The Army was so equlpp-
ed that it was able to assist these other organ1-
cations in caring for the needy "boys" who
sought relief or assistance. The Salvation Army
is not attempting to take the place of the Red
Cross nor of any other organization Of that ma
ture It is merely trying to further the work, to
Garry on"
Just bit of county gossip to clinch this ar
gument-d during the last five years the Army has
cared for thirty-five girls from Redwood County
alone girls who stood in the greatest need that
ever exists in girls life. At the expense of
approximately five hundred dollars apiece, these
girls were cared for and started again to lace
the world. In every case this great help was CIV
en- without publicity and in most cases without
any compensation. No other similar organiza-
ton has yet equipped itself as has the Army to
take care of these cases and to render this as
sistance which is an aid not only to the indiTi-
dual cases but to society at large. In fact many
of these cases were sent to the Army by leaders
in charitable organizations and the others by
physicians throughout the county. Think it over!

ABOUT MAKING MONEY.
(By Bruce Barton)

r T IS easy to be hypocritcal on the subject of
| money. We have formed a habit of pre-
tending publicly to despise money, while &C
tually working our heads off to get more of it.
We make speeches to young men advising
them to "seek the higher good" and hurry
| straightway to our offices to make up for lost
time
Let us have done with such hypocrcy.
We are all out to make money; nor IS there
anything reprehensible in that fact.
Wise old Sam Johnson said: "There few
occupations in which men be more harmless
ly employed than in making money!
1t is not money" that is the root of all evil,
as we often msquote, but 'the love of money"
How much of yourself are you willing to sell
for money?
The answer to that question is none of my
business 1t is personal question: question
for you to ask YOURSELF
But if you are the sort of person l think you
are, your answer will be something like this:
There are some things am not willing to sell
for money.
I will not sell my health. Not for all the
money in the world will die twenty years be-
fore my time as Hartman did; spend my old
age drinking hot water, like John D. Rockefel-
Ter.
| | will not sell my home. | will forget my bust
ness when l leave my office. Ny home shall be
place Of rest and high thinking and peace
not mere annex to my factory office, where
! the talk is of nothing but gains and loss.
I will not sell my honor. | will not engage in
any business, no matter what the profit, that
does not contribute something to the happiness
and progress of the world.
King Midas in fit of covetousness, prayed
| that everything that he touched might turn tc
gold.
And his prayer was granted.
The food he was lifting to his mouth turned
to gold; his wife, if he had touched her, would
| have turned to gold.
There are too many King Midases loose in the
world.
They do not have the Midas touch; they have
the Midas look.
! They see nothing but money.
A beautiful garden to them is merely some
thing that must have cost thousand dollars
! They look their homes and they see, not q
home, but an expense of so much month.
They look on their wives, and figure how much
less it cost them to live when they lived alone.
The universe to them is a balance-sheet; THEN
minds are adding machines; their hearts beat
in tune with the ticker
God pity them-the men with the Midas look
Get money-but stop once in while to figure
what it is costing you to get it.
/ No man gets it without giving something in re
turn.
The wise man gives his labor and ability
The fool gives his life

WY HEN the Salvation Army makes to you
M it's plea for funds to support it's many
W worthy projects, don't come back at the
solicitor with the remark that you support
ing the Red Cross and that the two organizations
overlap in their endeavors, therefore you feel
justified in withholding your support from the
Army. That remark only displays your ignor-
ance and gets you nowhere. We confess to the
same sort of ignorance until we listened recent
ly to an educatve talk the work of the Sal
walton Army. The two organizations do not ov-
erlap>in their work. they cooperate or as better
expressed by who knows, they "dovetaiP' in
their effort to benefit humanity.
The Red Cross starts things in its many local-
ties, brings them to point where help of anoth-
er nature than Red Cross help is needed-and
than the Salvation Army carries Just one
single example of this: In ST. Paul is wonder
full hostel which was born of the needs of thou
sands of service men. 1t opened in May of 1919
and during the year ten thousand, two hundred
men were given lodging Accommodations, free of
charge when it impossible for them to pay,
and the cafe has furnished hundred fortyfive
thousand six hundred meals, large percentage
of them also free of charge. All this to eX-ser-
vice men, mind you
In writing an account of the years work, the
Social News, a Salvation Army publication says:
"All societies organized for the soldiers well
fare have co-operated heartily with The Saliva
ton Army's work. The Red Cross sent large
majority of its cases to the Hostel, and paid ap-
proximately $1,000 in lodging and meal accounts.
Other organizations also sent large numbers of

magazines. Look through those which have &C

FORGOTTEN.

By Mary L. D. Mcfarland
Nary a visitor in the ward this week
Aw, they're tired of us now!
When we was we'll and whole
And they needed us to go across
To stop the U-boat on shores
And chase the Hun across the Rhine,
Then every last blamed chump among us
Was "hero" and they couldn't do enough.
Now
Well, the war is over, so they say
Ut looks to me like it wasn't finished YETI
And they're sick of all
The whole DANCED business.
So we!
We're sick of this ERE hospital
We're sick of this ERE grub,
We never want to see another doctor nurse,
And they never want to see another wounded
cuss.
I don't blame 'em, but
Here are! >',--.
This buddy next me here he hadn't got
Much left to decorate his carcass,
And he's blind; the Boche
Shot out one eye for sure;
The doctors thought they'd save the other one.
But yesterday they took the bandage off
And he couldn't see goldarned thing.
He's sport. He never said word,
But I could see his lips a-shakin.'
My, amt it hot!
And these DANCED flies are such nuisance.
I wish that l could hike out to shady place
And "cool my fevered brow" as they say
In high toned stuff.
But l can't, you see until
They hitch sumpin' goin' to
These two pretty stumps Of mine.

Last year thirty-three thousand farms were
abandoned in the state Of New York and now the
citizens Of the state trying to secure Legislation
which will provide housing in the towns and CT
ties Of the state. 1t looks to wild westerners'
as though New York has something SO radically
wrong with her that it will take more than a
dose of Legislature to cure her. The housing pro
blem cannot be solved until the land problem is
dealt with.

The following from the Dawson Sentinel has
all the ear marks of the Gospel of Common
Sense:
1T took fourteen years to bring the prices
back to normal after the Civil war, and then it
took one of the worst panics in the history of
the country to bring values down. If history re-
peats tself-and it generally does-there will be
several years of high cost of living ahead of US
before conditions become normal, and people may
as we'll learn to face the situation calmly, for
nothing good can come out of hysteria. Things
will right themselves some time and nothing is
to be gained by rocking the boat. 1t is those
who understand the situation and keep an even
keel that going to land right side up at the
finish. Working and saving during the period Of
reconstruction, and paying debts rather than
contracting them, will do more for the country
than all the panaceas that may be proposed"
