CRITICISM.

Every community possesses two
distinct classes of citizens, although
this community is to a certain extent
an exception to the general rule.
Both classes are critical as regards
community affairs, but class is con-
structive in its criticisms while the
other is destructive.
The one sees the weak spots in our
municipal life, points them out, and
suggests rational methods for cor
rection and improvement.
The other class sees the faults,
criticises the authorities for permit
ting them to exist, but offers no sane
suggestion for correction.
The man who accepts position Of
authority in any community must ex-
pect criticism. But he has right
to expect the public to refrain from
violent criticism unless it can sug-
gest method of procedure that
would be an improvement over the
one he employs.
The public has legitimate right
to criticise its officials when it feels
that criticism is due, but it should be
certain of the justice Of that criti-
cism before it is uttered.
A constructive critic is an asset to
any town, but the destructive one is
simply knocker.
Constructive criticism is always
welcome to any high minded and well
intentioned public official. but it is
a thorn in the flesh to those who sur
render to ulterior motives and forget
the duty they owe to their constitu-
ents.
Our own officials are really con-
structive in their intentions and want
to do the right thing by the people
they serve.
If you see something that needs
correction, tell them so. They will
welcome the information.
But go little further and suggest
what appears to you to be the best
method of correction. 1t may be an
improvement to what our officials
would deem appropriate action.
1t is team work Of this kind that
breeds success in the garden Of life.

"Too bad that old maid cannot get
q husband" remarked a Smart Aleck
Of very charming maiden lady the
other day.
But the "old maid" is fortunate in
at least one respect-she hasn't a
Smart Aleck for husband.
She is not an upstart's slave. and
she doesn't have to stand the abuse
of one who doesn't know how to res
pect his own mothers sex.
She may be an "old maid" in point
Of years, but she is honored and re-
spected, and decent people do not
turn from her in disgust when she
makes a remark about other people.
An "old maid" without a husband :?
Possibly so.
But Of infinitely more value to the
world than a Smart Aleck.

WIRELESS TELLS OF AIMS

Paris, Sept. 9.--A Moscow wireless communication picked up today says:
 "The Polish government is mistaken if it has illusions that the military situation has undergone unfavorable changes, as, owing to the reserves sent to the front, the military situation of soviet Russia once more is brilliant
 We adhere, as ever, to the conditions of our ultimatum. We hope for a last ing peace but owing to the incessant struggle of the Polish workmen for peace with Russia. We have the right to com plete the Polish army with an armed workmen's militia without injuring the cause of peace.
 "The soviet government hopes for the moral support and sympathy of the working classes of all countries. The British government would oppose with the same vigor the formation of an arm ed bourgeois militia.
 "The Polish government suddenly shows a great desire for peace. the for eisn minister, Prince Sapieha, expressing hope that the negotiations will be con cldGed at the earliest possible moment. I le Red army in several sectors has be- gun an offensive and the government of I'riand understands that with the end of the Polish successes it is the most favor able 10 make peace.

 ACTRESS. IN CRITICAL CONDITION

Paris, Sept. s-olive Thomas, moving picture actress, is in critical condition at the American hospital at Neuilly. where she was taken several days ago suffeing from mercuria1 poisoning. An official statement issued by pr. Joseph Choate, an American physician in charge of the case, says: "The situation is seri- ous, but recovery is hopeful"

 Dr. C1oate said today that the actress Lad swallowed a solution of alcohol preparation sufficient to kill twenty-five men, but he added that she had taken it through erIor.
 Recently Miss Thomas, it is said, had been suffering from nervous depression and had expressed fear for the safety of her husband, Jack Pickford. According 1 to Dr. Choate it was only through the promrt first aid given by Pickford, on 1 his return to the hotel where they are 1 staying, that Miss Thomas is alive now.

COMMITTEE DIVIDED
 ON CONTINUATION OF PROBE

Chicago Sept. 9.-The senate com mittee investigating campaign expendi- lures tonight was divided on the ques- tcn of pursuing the investigation of Governor CoX's charges that millions are being sought by the republican na- tional committee to corrupt the cleo torate.
 Saturday the committee will. complete its inquiry here. but after two co r- ences today the five senators could redch no decision as 10 the next step.
 The republican attitude as expressed by Senator Edge, is that every lead of- fered by Governor Cox and his support CTS has been pursued without proving any of what the New Jersey senator characterized as the sinister" counts in the democratic presidential nominees s charges. Senators Edge. Kenyon and Spencer republicans, propose that the committee drop inc Cox charges and move 10 Pittsburgh to investigate re- ports that the liquor interests are talk ing an active part in the campaign.
 The democratic view. however as ex- pressed by Senators Reed and Pomerene. is that the Cox charges are being proven and they desire 10 go to New York. subpoena Colonel William Boyce Thompson, chairman of the republican national ways and means committee Reeve Schley. eastern treasurer, and other republican leaders, and pursue the investigation further.
 The Chicago end of the present in- quiry will be practically completed to- morrow.
