The Closed Mind.

The closed mind, so common thest
days, is not new thing that developed
during the war. 1t is most common
whenever great special interests arr
seriously menaced. The special in
terests do not have closed minds, Of
course but they close the minds of
other people. Their game is to get as
many as possible to refuse to inquire
into what threatens-a X nd of master
and dog relation.
Curiously enough, we find one of the
best exposures of this 'closed mind
condition in an appeal by Tertullian
one of the early Christian leaders, tC
the rulers of the Roman Empire fol
public trails of Christians. Not one
in 10000 Romans had any interest in
the horrible persecution OF Christians
yet their minds had been closed and
they approved and applauded.
Here is Tertullian's appeal:
Rulers OF the Roman Empire. II
not permitted to defend ourselves be-
fore you, you cannot surely forbid the
Truth to reach your ears by the secret
pathway of noiseless writing. One
thing, meanwhile, the church anxiously
desires of earthly rulers-not to be con-
demned unknown. What harm can
it do to the laws, supreme in their
domain, to give her hearing. Nay,
for that part of it, more CONSPICUOUS
in their condemning her, even after
she has made her plea? But, If un-
heard, sentence is pronounced against
her, besides the odium of an unjust
deed, you will incur the merited SUI
picion of doing it with some idea that
it is unjust, as not wishing to hear what
you may not be able to bear and con-
demn.
"For what is there more unfair than
to hate thing of which you know
nothing, even though it deserve to be
hated? Hatred is only merited when
it is known to be merited. But with
out that knowledge, whence is its
justice to be vindicated? For that is
to be proved, not from the mere fact
that an aversion exists, but from ac-
quaintance with the subject. When
men, then, give way to dislike, simply
because they are entirely ignorant Of
the nature of the thing disliked, why
may it not be precisely the very sort
of thing they should not dislike. AL
that is cared about is, having what the
pubic hatred demands"

Relying on Propaganda NoaU.

Success in putting over the most out
rageous measures in the past four years,
has, we believek, produced profound
disrespect of the people. in big-busi-
ness circles. Financiers now believe
that propaganda can do anything.
There is no right Of plain citizen
which big-business tries to respect,
whether it be free speech or the Sc
curity of the common peoples property
rights.
Big-business learned a great deal
about stampeding popular opinion
during the war, and our pubic il slow
in getting wise to the new tricks. Bu-
let us prove at the next election that
the jig is up.

American boys and billions of dollars,
followed by business paralysis and un.
employment.-Issues of Today.
Due Credit.

Due Credit.
We frequently although not so fre-
quently as two years ago-meet the
person who wants to know where we
would be if John D. had not grabbed
our oil resources and given us gasoline.
or if J. J. Hill had not incidentally
built some railroads ia the process Of
grabbing several hundred million but of
the Northwest.
The assumption of this type of mind
seems to be that we would be naked
savages living in mud huts if we had
developed our great natural resources
without collosal graft; if we had not
developed them to the point where we
have nothing as people except the
privilege of paying back breaking
prices for necessities. @
We would like to answer this line Of
sentimental slop by putting in a plea
for our old friend, Columbus. Now,
pray, tell us, where would we be with
out Columbus? Do we not owe all
our development to him?
Therefore, let us seek out the heirs
of Columbus and transfer to them the
colossal properties of our trusts. Sure
ly they have a prior claim. The rest
of us will transfer our allegiance or
WILLINGNESS TO be grated on from the
trusts to the heirs. Thus will private
enterprise" receive it's full amount of
respect.
We would endorse this line of
reasoning if it's sponsors would recog-
nize all that Adam and Eve did for us
and would insist on their heirs sharing
equitably in the good things of this
world.

CHENEY COMPANY WINS
FAMOUS SUIT
- 2,
U. s. Court of Appeals Decides
Tone-Arra Case in It's Favor.

One of the most important decisions
ever rendered in the history of the
phonograph industry was handed down
December 16 by the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals at Cincinnati,
Ohio The decision is complete VIC
tory for the Cheney Talking Machine
Company of Chicago in the famous
'tone-arm" suit brought against it
by the Victor Talking Machine CON-
pany. -.
The Victor Company brought suit
on the theory that certain patents
owned by it prevented the defendant
from the use of its octagonal stepped
tone arm on which it had also secured
patents. K
In giving it's decision the Court of
Appeals reversed the lower court, re-
lieved the Cheney Company from any
liability for royalties or damages and
left the defendant free to continue the
Of its instruments with.
out change in construction.
The suit has been of general inter-
est, because of it's influence on the
manufacturing policies of many other
phonograph companies as we'll, and
because of their similar suits entered
or threatened.

Wilson Charged With Foreknowledge

Watson Charged W1thF F0rekD0aUledge
Won Kemnitz, a former member of
the German diplomatic corps, at pres
ent a member of the Reichstag, ad-
dressing a public meeting Of the
Peoples Party in Frankfort, recently,
charged that the German Foreign
Office has documentary proof that
Wilson had an understanding with
England in regard to the coming world
war as early as 1913. This under
standing, the speaker said, was not
committed to paper, but was so-caIied
"gentlemen's agreement" or an under
standing between the leading states
men. According to this agreement
the United States assured England of
her benevolent neutrality and an ample
supply of arms and ammunition. Eng
land in return pledged itself to give the
United States a free hand in Central
and South America. In addition,
England pledged itself to assist the
United States against the contingency
Of an attack by England's ally, Japan.
Won Kemnitz declared that the Ger
man Foreign Office had so far refused
to publish it's proof. Neither has the
Foreign Office denied the statements
of Won Kemnitz, and it is inferred that
it is holding the material for publica-
tion at the psychological moment.
If Won Kemnitz is sure of hi state
ments it would confirm Wilson's own
statement to the Senate committee
that he would have rushed US into the
war whether Germany hac COM
mitted acts Of war against us or not,
and prove once for all that he was a
secret partisan Of England and only
delayed the declaration of war until
public opinion could be educated by
widespread propaganda to support
his secret intention. One motive as
signed for the withholding of the proof
is the desire of the Foreign Office to
protect Won Bernstorff, who declared
before parliamentary committee that
the United States would not have
entered the war had not Germany pro-
claimed the U-boat campaign. The
German Foreign Office and the German
people are not alone concerned in the
truth. The world is interested, as
demonstrated by the action of the neu-
tral States in calEnp a coro noiecion +,
meet at Christiana, Norway, on Jan
uary S, to inquire into the cause of the
war. And the American people par
ticularly are concerned in the question
whether they were made the victims of
secret "gentlemen's agreement" that
cost the lives and limbs of 100000

Some leaders of farmer organiza-

Drilling in the we'll Of the Bowdoin

Large Audience Is Pleased With Pro-

At the beginning Of the fall season
the choir of the Methodist church was
reorganized into a large chorus choir,
several new voices being added, and
now, with Mrs. Gordon Vallandigham
as director and Mrs. w. H. Rasey as
pianist, it ranks as one of the leading
musical organizations of the city, and
also as one of the foremost chorus
choirs in this part of the state.
The appearance of this choir on
Sunday evening, in a program of sac
red numbers was an event much ap-
preciated by lovers of good music as
was evidenced by the large crowd ir
attendance. The rostrum of the mali
auditorium presented an attractiv,
appearance, the decorations being sug

with the motifs used, were symbols Of
the golden harvest.

HISTORY OF THE RED CROSS SEAL

but is now called the Christmas Seal
He was interested in the emblem and
described the seal and it's history in
an article in the Outlook. Miss Emily
Bissell read the article and conceived
the idea of using the Christmas seal
for tuberculosis sanitorium she was
establishing in Wilmington, Delaware.
With the support of the North Amer
lean and local newspapers sale was
launched that brought in over $4,000.
The success of the venture appealed
to her imagination and she was able
to induce the American Red Cross to
undertake nationwide campaign for
the sale of Red Cross Christmas seals.
Over $135,000 was raised from the
first sale, while that of the next year
was $200,000. The sales grew rapidly
until 1917 when the number of seals
sold totaled 180,000.00O.
In 1918 as a war measure the seals
were not sold, but through an agree
ment between the Red Cross and the
National tuberculosis association the
seals were awarded in limited quantity
to each member of the Red Cross, and
state associations for the prevention
Of tuberculosis wsss saiven from the
Red Cross membership drive a sum
equal to it's seal sale the proceeding
year. In this way the tuberculosis as
sociations were enabled to carry on
their work.
Since 1919 the Christmas seal has
bourne no relation to the Red Cross
The Glasgow courier. [volume] (Glasgow, Mont.) 1913-current, 1922-12-08

and is strictly tuberculosis seal; the
proceeds being used entirely in pro-
noting tuberculosis work.
In selling seals one must sell the
idea of tuberculosis prevention.
Through the Christmas seal millions
of people have learned of the nature
and prevention of this disease. Hun
dreds of hospitals, clinics, nurses and
other agencies for fighting tubercu-
losis have been brought into existence;
communities have been aroused to a
better appreciation Of their individual
and public health, and the nation ha ;
been stirred to a realization Of the
Importance of tuberculosis as dis
ease problem.
The financial aspect of the Christ
mas seal is next in Importance to its
educational value. The Christmas seal
since 1907 has brought in $20,000,00C
for organized tuberculosis work. The
Christmas seal money is not adequate
to support institutions for the care Of
patients, but the funds are used tt
agitate and organize public opinion tt
secure hospitals, nurses, clinics ant
open air schools. The total value O
institutions brought into existenc,
largely through the seal sale would b.
approximately 10000 900, the annua
maintenance $35,ooO,00O. Each Christ
mas seal dollar has been multiplied
many fold through education and or
ganization.

The various churches of the city
united in a Thanksgiving service which
was held at the Methodist church on
Thursday morning. Rev. Miss R. j.
Dickinson addressed the service,
"Life's Larger Relationships" being
her text thought. She spoke not only
of our forefathers of that first Thanks
giving day, who blazed the trail, in a
material sense, but also of the brave
souls of today with their larger con-
ception of God and their splendid spir-
it of optimism--these apostles of a
new hope who will become the spirit

Besides Miss Dickinson's impressive
address the service also included ar
anthem, 81 Heard the Voice of Jesus
