As publisher of a local weekly
newspaper we hold to the cid idea that
readers Ike a diversified class of mat
ter besides that of personal and local
chat. Accounts of local government
doings, County affairs and State news
keep the readers informed ON public
affairs.
During the past year at intervals we
have published two columns OF stories
condensed from the besl literary
writer's of this country and England.
They are termed classics, some of
which are required to be read in high
schools and colleges. They We're COM
pleted two weeks ago. Those who
read them have acquired what is need
ed for a broad literary culture.
The past six months we have pub
lished from one to three columns Of
history of our tWenty-eight past Presi-
dents of the United States. In these
sketches of their lives were Incidents
not found in school books. The last
sketch Of the Presidents is published
this week.
Next will come short sketches Of the
forty-eight States, Wonders of Amer
lea and Great Scouts. These are all
educational and are helpful, not only
to those who have not had the oppor-
tunity to get such in school, but also
to those who have been to school, be-
cause these articles were written by
men of different points of views.

The Pilgrim Mothers, 1920

Now thank God for the women
Who dared the perilous sea
With u adventurous ancestors,
To bear them company.
They sailed, they knew not whittier,
They came, not questioned why,
Bat that the men-folk whom they lived
Without their are would die.
Babes newly born they carried,
And BARNS with Wavering feet;
But never a COW was there for milk,
And never a stove for heat.
Through icy waves they landed,
They washed in frozen streams;
They shivered through the nights of
dread
With horror in their dreams.
Through toll and want and danger
High-heated they could wait;
They lived and died for the common
veal,
And mothered a nursing State.
They had no voice in meeting,
No vote in pact or law;
But of their flesh and blood is built
Our strength for peace and war.
Thank God for the brave women
Of a hard three hundred years!
Have they not earned a nations trust
Through sacrifices and tears?
ABBY Farwell Brown, in The Heart
of New England.

HARDING IN GOOD COMPANY
The President Finds the New Pilgrim
Spirit

spirit
In his great speech at Plymouth last
Monday President Harding was at his
best, but the Pilgrim spirit he found
Is locked up in the cage Of Little
Americanism."
He said the zone outstanding dan
ger today is the tendency to turn to
Washington for the things which are
the tasks or duties of the forty-eight
Commonwealth That use to be good
Democratic doctrine, but Abraham
Lincoln, as commander-in-chie of the
army and navy shot it all to pieces.
He warns us against the supreme
central power at home and the super
state for the world. 1t was the Re
publican party which first created the
greatest central power at Washington
and a super-state which took Porto
Rico, the Philippines and assumed the
right of chief of police in Cuba by dl-
vine right of force in the army and
navy.
But he evidently had a vision and
saw a ghost in the League of Nations.
Yet, the forty-one nations now in the
League, including Great Britain, is
not afraid Of that goblin created as a
partisan scarecrow. Each country
continues to retain its nationality ana
is progressing with the Pilgrim spirit
in the growth of political and religious
liberty. despite President Hardings
warning against "Our Surrender Of

NEW YORK IS BIG-BUT

New York is large town. 1t
would not be at all surprising if it
misuscs Independence Day for the
biggest street pageant OF human beings
ever pulled off" in the country-and
that pageant a panorama ofscherished
thirsts modified from every stratum
OF so-called society. Yes, New York
is large town, but the United States
is considerable country-some of it
east OF the Hudson, but most of it
west thereof. In this considerable
country there is considerable notion
that the signers of the original Dec
laraton OF Independence on July 1,
1776 were not thinking at all in terms
OF booze" when they read the words
about their being endowed by their
Creator with certain inalienable
rights" and those other words about

A CONVERTING SPECTACLE

Ii Drake succeeds in getting his
hundred thousand erstwhile beer
guzzlers to march in parade as a pro-
test against the Eighteenth Article OF
the Constitution they will present a
spectacle that undoubtedly will make
thousands of converts to the cause
OF Prohibition. At all events that is
the way similar protest parade, OPP
Grated in Chicago some years ago.
When the people of that city saw the
aggregation of protesters against the
law designed to regulate the saloons,
many who were inclined to be against
these regulatory measures OH general
principles decided they did not want
to be classed with the bunch on pa
rade 1t is safe prediction that
brakes beer mug brigade will be
worth looking at if it marches, but
it is an equally safe prediction that
the wise leaders of the booze forces
will tell Drake to keep his gang off
the streets.-Danville, ILL.,, Banner.

In 1o20-One of the above Cook
county Legislators, then a candidate
for reelection to third term, put out
the following platform of principles:
Il stand for more WHISKY,
cheaper WHISKY and better
WHISKY.
81 stand for no license pool rooms
and will introduce bill to that effect
81 stand for privilege from arrest
OF man or men caught i'll disor-
derby house or house OF ill reputc in
which he has been solicited or de-
coyed.
81 will introduce bill making it
punishable, either by fine or impris-
onment or both for a policeman or
any other officer to kick in or break
down the door OF a disorderly house
or house of i'll repute or make an ar
rest therein without first procuring a
warrant"
This personal platform probably
stands alone in the annals of political
history. And yet this man was
elected in 1920 TO take his seat for a
third time in the Legislature of Illi-
nois from Chicago district.
or course there are some good
legislators from Cook county just as
there are some bad ones from down
state, but it is majorities that count.
