MORE GOOD THAN EVIL

A publisher, about to sell the writings of a
noted American soldier in book form, advertises
its contents as "the shame of the world" In
other words, it is deemed attractive, for money
making purposes, to bazon over the country the
fact that the world has shame.
What's the matter with us Twentieth Century
folks anyway? Why is it that so many of us
Americans are always knocking something, al
ways looking for the bad in anything, always
ready to believe that wrongs are advancing on
u.s. always suspicioning some abomination or
other?
The shame of the world" forsooth Most GER
tainly there is shame in the world-always has
been and always will be as long as it is inhabited
by human people But there is ten thousand
times more chastity, ten thousand times more
good on this earth than there is shame, and there
always will be-BECAUSE THIS EARTH is IN.
HABITED BY DECENT HUMAN PEOPLE.
Rules are made to have exceptions. There is
no rule where there is no exception. The human
heart in the mass is sound and moral and lovabe.
In only the exceptional human is the heart shame
full And that's all there is to it.
Habit does lot of things. Habit will even
change the heart. If it is going to be habit with
the mass of us to look for shame cussedness and
general infamy, we may be sure that the filth will
cling to us and it may even turn into cancer
affecting the whole.

Among the press representatives at the arms
conference is Agronsky Gershon. He comes from
Palestine to represent his paper, The Haaretz, OF
Jerusalem.
In the brief item heraldng his coming there
lis no indication of his nationality, his religion
Tor his political leanings. Whatever these may
be- he comes from the birthplace of the Prince
|of Peace to report the latest improved effort to
establish peace on earth.
Comparing modes of living, travel and the dis
semination of news in the days when Christ was
born and now, men will speak of progress"
Yet it was over 1000 year ago thai Christ gave
mankind his simple formulas for peacc-"Thou
shalt love thy neighbor as myself" Therefore
all things whatsoever We would that men should
do to you, do We even so to them"
Just as simple as that. And over twenty CEN
turtles ago! And today, on the other side Of the
world, men called wise have assembled in the name
of peace to hold ponderous discussions and set
up elaborate machinery which may or may not act
as a check upon wars. Progress?

INFLUENCED JUDGE

In these days when strategy anC
subtlety may win as many victories as
oratorical explosions, we commend tc
the careful attention of politicians
and others the account of a certain
law case which occupied some slight
local attention up in northern New
England some years ago. 1t was a
land case; and one of the parties,
eager for verdict, consulted his law
yer az to the advisability of sending
the judge a fine brace of ducks. II
appeared to him to be a neat sort of
thing to do. The lawyer rose in hor-
ror.
"Do nothing Of the kindl' he said.
This Judge is an upright and honor
able man; under no circumstances
could he be bribed. In fact, he is Of
such rectitude that were you to send
him a brace of ducks, in advance of
the trial, he would probably lean so
far backward that he would find
against you. Forget all about the
duck scheme"
In due course the case came up and
the decision was given. It was in
favor of the man who had planned the
gift. He met his lawyer. We'll" he
said, Eve, won our case"
"Yes.' said the lawyer; "and aren't
you glad you didn't send the judge
those ducks ="
"But I did send en- said the client.
~You did,"
"Yes, I sent EN-; but remembered
what you said about the judge lean
ing backward. so / put the other fell
lows card with EN-"

One Of the most enterprsing and progressive
of the Columbus merchants this week made a
discovery that opened his eyes to the value of the
Columbus Dispatch as an advertising medium.
There were few copies of Sundays Dispatch
left and we sent the merchant twenty five of
them, with instructions to hand them out to any
persons who came into his store that were not
already receiving the paper
Last night this merchant brought twenty-four
of the papers back, saying he was unable to use
them. He stated that he had offered them to
every person who came to his place of business !;
that invariably the answer was, "We take the
Dispatch that the only copy of the paper he was
able to give away was to some folks who were
passing through Columbus in an auto, en- route
from Alabama to Arkansas, and that he was more
than glad to know that his advertisements (when
published in the Columbus Dispatch) were so gen
orally circulated.
1t is gratifying to the Dispatch to hear these
frequent testimonials of the loyalty Of the people
of this section to the county's oldest and best
newspaper.

United States Is an asylum for the
oppressed, not the oppressors. In this
country no single group can stay the
hand Of the law. It is possible that
a few lives and buildings will be de-
stroyed by these Red-visioned Com
munists, but it is not probable Any
outrages which they commit will
serve only to strengthen the deterlni-
nation Of the people that no radical
nor Communistic group shall be per-
mitted to operate in this country.

THAT BOY

Every boy is going to have confdant, some
one to whom he can tell his secrets and whisper
his hopes and ambitions which he would not
breathe to others We take it for granted that
his mother will stand nearer to him than any
other person, but every boy'will have some male
friend who will stand in peculiar relation to
him. This friend, his confident, should be his
father.
You cannot afford to have your boy feel that
you are too busy or too Indifferent to tell him now
to fly his kite or bait his hook or make toy or
to play games with him.
If you begin early enough it is comparatively
easy for you to gain your boys confidence. From
infancy he should grow up to feel that no one
else can take your place; that you stand in a
peculiar relation to him, which no one else can
fill.
Any business man would be Mortified at the
suggestion that he would ruin his boy by neglect
that his absorption in business would result in
the undong of his own son. But it is the easiest
thing in the world to forfeit a boys confidence.
II will take only little snubbing little scolding
little indifference, a little unkind criticism, a
little naggng and unreaSonabeness to shut off
forever any intimacy between you and your boy

TO PLAY FOUR RECORDS

A late model multiple-record phono-
graph which utilizes the motion of a
turntable to effect record changes is
now on the market Four revolving
record tables carry the records and
pass in consecutive order under the
tone arm for playing. Instead of the
tone arm being guided across the re-
cords by the record grooves, large
revolving table, supporting the four
spinning disks, slowly moves the
groove under the tone arm. During
the playing, the larger table moves
very slowly. When the piece has been
finished, the tone arm automatically
rises, and the larger table, after a
short stop, suddenly makes a par
tial revolution by which the next
record is brought into place.

COMMUNIST FOLLY

Following close on the attempt 0
, Communists to blow up the residence
6 Of Ambassador Herrck in Paris com
es the cabled report that more thar
100 Communists have managed t,
reach this country during the las
two months through evasion Of i'm
migration restrictions and that they
are plotting reign Of terror. Then
object is to prevent the hanging OF
two Italians, Sacco and Vanzetti, who
were convicted Of murder last sum
mer in Massachusetts.
Presumably these two murderers are
members Of Of the Communist organi-
cation whose members are now meak-
ing their way to United States. Some
of them probably took part in the
demonstration against the hanging of
Tom Mooney during the war period
and they are indulging in the delu-
sion that similar threats will lead the
president to interfere in the interests
of Sacco and Vanzetti.
| They are destined to discover, how
ever, that the fiinching Of the govern
ment before threats of violence, which
occurred in the Tom Mooney incident,
will not be repeated.
The people of Massachusetts, are
not of breed that quails before at
tempted intimidation. Those Italian
anarchists have been tried before
jury of citizens of the United States
and have been found guilty. They
will pay the penalty of their crime,
even though an army of Reds should
be marching upon Boston at the time
the execution is set to take place.
President Harding will not inter-
fere. He could not do so officially i'll
he desired; for the president of the
United States has not the authority
to pardon or commute a sentence pro-
nounced by the judge of court Of
a sovereign State. That right is pos
sessed by the Governor only. Presl-
dent Wilson once sought to save the
neck of Red sentenced to hang in
Utah. But Governor Spry firmly re-
piled that he would permit no in5er-
ference by Federal authority IN the
domestic affairs of the State Of Utah !
The action of the Paris Reds in /
bombing the residence of the ALicri- /
can Ambassador exposes their igno-
rance of the Constitution and the
laws of the United States. Their at
tack upon the representative of the
President. But the President has no
more power than they themselves
possess to secure stay of sentence
for a crime committed in the State
Of Massachusetts.
In this connection one should keep
in mind that it is not "the people" of
Paris or of France who are thus ex-
their i'll will against the
United States. 1t is a radical group
that is doing all in its power to rob
he French people of the benefits that
accrued to them by reason of the he
role sacrifices which they made dur
ng the World War; Such eroupes
ire as dangerous to- civilization as
great maladies. They never construct,
,ut always seek to destroy. And they
lave foolishly misjudged the temper
# the people of Massachusetts and
# the country as a whole when they !
imagine that we are to be deferred by
let's of violence from a rigid enforce
nent of the criminal laws. The !

CANNOT STOP 1T

Some Of our purists are trying to
stop "baby talk" They wish to put
an end to the tootsy-wootsy stuff. If
they think mother will spend her time
reading MiltOn's poems to her ownest-
own there is a mistake somewhere. As
long as we have babies we will have
baby falkland maybe longer.

FIGHTING DISEASE GERMS

There is popular idea that most
sickness is caused by germ of the
disease finding entrance to our bodies
through the food we eat, the water Or
milk we drink or the air we breathe.
This is true as far as II goes but it is
also true that disease germs are enter
ing our bodies every day without caus
ing disease
The reason for this is that there are
forces within the body that are con.
stantly fighting these disease germs
and il is only when this defence is
weakened that the germs get the upper
hand and we become i'll. One of the
most powerful of these forces that
work for health is rich, red blood
Good, healthy blood increases the re-
sistance of the body to the diseases
that are always threatening, II is cas-
Ter TO keep up this resistance by taking
DR.. Williams Pink Pills, eating proper
food, avoiding articles of food that do
not agree with us and getting plenty
of fresh air day and night, than il is to
cure the disease after it gets foot
hold. Keep up the resistance of your
body to disease by these tonic pills,
which you can get at any drug store,
and you will avoid such sickness.
