BETHLEHEM BAPTIST
SUNDAY SCHOOL MEETING

The second Sunday School con-
ference of the Audrain Association
met at Bethlehem church Monday. A
big rain prevented the day exercises
but the good things that were cooked
were taken to the church for supper
and a splendid conference followed.
The fact that part of the ordination
services for four deacons brought his
meeting to close, made the service
very impressive. Special discussion
was given during the Sunday School
conference to the duty and obligation
Of our deacon and church members 70
the Sunday School and the pastor
gave very helpful Suggestions 30 all
deacors present about their obligation
TO the Sunday School as a teaching
service Of the church. ..,
Splendid interest is now being taken
in both the AssociationaI B. X. p. U.
and Sunday School organization.

Penny-Wise, Pound. F oolish.

0UR own beloved government is not immune

just it is engaged in saving money by
cutting down expenditures most commemorate
undertaking but one requiring more than cheese
knife. In few days conference on unemployment
will be held here and, if preparatory, hundreds
upon hundreds OF men have been discharged from
the government navy yards, and commission
has taken third slice off the wages Of those who
left
1t is said our troubles mainly psychology
CAL on the theory that there is nothing either good
or bad but thinking makes it So This is a factor;
The Herald, however, recognizes also the pressure
of economic necessity. But both psychology and
economics prescribe that the one employer who
should not discharge a single employe engaged in
useful work and giving value for his pay is the
government 1t is the public whole, and prop
erty as total, which it to themselves to pro
vide work for the unemployed and it is the gov
ernment which represents that public and property
There is no lack of work in the navy yards.
There are plenty of ships which need overhauling
and the naval program has not yet been halted
When it is there is all the for keeping
every ship have in the best of condition, ready
at any hour to go to sea. There is never occa-
sion when feet is called to service that many Of
its vessels do not first have to be put in condition
Why not keep them in condition? Why not now
when so many idle have navy and every
department Of it, put in the finest shape for instant
serviceI This is useful work.
The men in the yards are not idlers. They 90
not want charity. They have families. Probably
too. most of them have savings; if they have, the
best thing which could happen to this country is
to enable all such they are to keep their savings
intact That is what makes good citizens Labor

tries it has proved itself respecter and upholder
OF the rights of others 1t deserves we'll of this
people and their government and it is not wise nor
is it just for the government to add to uncmpIoy-

useful work to be done and appropriations already

ing this depression purely psychological mat
ter rather than an economic one = = Ex-
ecutives today have lost their ability and their
willingness to worry.
One thing is true, if this picture is not true
There is as much money in this country as ever.
The savings that are being spent for necessities
are going somewhere and are staying there SOME
where there is enormous purchasing power. Mil
lions are being denied the right to work and earn.
This is the one inherent right which no one will
lngly alienates. In country village during the
annual dull seasons Of trade the merchants cut OF
all the lights in their stores save one at back where
the proprietor sat during the long evenings waiting
for stray customers The stores like morgues.
Is this what business is doing now? Anyway, it
is worth thinking about.

The Conference DeIesates.

THE choice of Elihu Root as ono OF the dele
gates OF this government at the Washing
ton conference and his acceptance will give the
greatest satisfaction. OF all Americans who arc
have been, in public life Mr.. Root is regarded
prc-eminently qualified to represent this country
at any international conference. The country has
unlimited confidence in him, in Secretary Hughes
The problems to be discussed and, If possible
a settlement reached, the most far-rcaching in
their importance and the most delicate in their char
acter OF any which could come before an interna-
tional body The objective of the conference is
disarmament, but this objective is recognized but
a consequence Of reaching an agreement policies
which have been prolific cause Of war.
The United States is probably the only country
in position to present and urge such changes in
international policies and relations will remove
these causes. The Monroe doctrine applied to
this hemisphere is in principle what should be ap-
piled in the Far East and If there, tier consc
quencc, to all parts of the world. This is
than that there must be political aggression,
political interference dominance or preference,
while everywhere there shall be the open door Of
equal opportunity in trade. The one is corollary
of the other.
No foreign government under this doctrine is
allowed to gain any measure Of political control or
the possession of any part Of South America 1t
would not be permitted to take military possession
even to safeguard its investments. 1t could gain
preference. There could be political encroach-
ments But all are equally open under their own
laws to world trade, investment and commerce. Ii
is practically this principle which, to Ar:ercans
seems equally applicable to the Far East
This government could not be represented by
better qualified to gain the consent of other
countries to the extension of such principle than
Secretary Hughes and Mr.. Root, and they will be
ably assisted by Senators Lodge and Underwood.
With this representation the people of this coun-
try, determined upon peace, will have every conf
dence tnat peace with good understanding will
come, that peace which is between upright men,
tile peace which is righteousness

of courage. friendliness and mutual
understanding may achieve far

yellow journals make Lord Curzon's

course on England's constitutional
hypocrisy and give US to under
stand that Lloyd George, that al
most superman, and his represen-
tatives, will sit down at the con-
ference with eyes peeled only for
treasons, strategems and spoils. II
is evident that Britain assumes that
all the conferees will be honest and
above board; can We not be equally

pick of the empire, and out of every
ten men, one man laid down

one was wounded, and one in every
three men became a casualty from

Is not this a terrible reality? And
yet, how few do we find who have
kind and generous words for this
great nation from whom the war
exacted such a sacrifice; this gem
