with all the faults which char
acterized the evolution Of the
unied States. 1t was, during this
period Of study OF foreign students
as 1t is yet, the highest type OF
earthly government. 1t lacks in
its expression of submission and
obedience to the Ruler of nations;
but in the sense of It's human pur-
pose and its human plan, 1t has no
rival among the nations. And
seeing the democracy OF the United
States In action, observers from
other lands went home with their
inspired zeal to redeem their own
countries from the tyranny OF the
ages gone. They loosed tho dead
hand from its grasp Of the living
generations; and one after another
they brought into being republics

In the blood and tears OF human
beings" Senator Cannon contin-
ued.
"Thirty-two republics Of the
earth arc younger than our own.
They are the real daughters OF the
American revolution. The thinkers
Of every one of these, the moving
forces OF politics in each case,
have considered whether the rule
by the people of the United States
was a success or a failure; and, in
each case, there must have been
the answer that 1t was possible, as
proved by our experience. for hui
man creatures to govern themselv-
es without the authority Of earthly
kings or earthly potentates.
People have wondered at tho
ease with which China made her
trnnsmutation from absolute mon
archy, Cmiscalled uncivilized by
illinformed peopIe1 into republic
with advanced ideas, including
political equality of men and wo-
men. But the explanation is OBJ
ri6us. American missionaries had
done great work in China; but
politically speaking, the greatest
work was done by the Chinese stu
dents, who, being interested by the
missionaries, came to the United
States, studied our institutions and
our civilization and went home TO
China to spread the enlightenment
among her people. The scholar in
China is revered person. And
when these intellectuals gave their
approval. to the idea Of a republic,
the word spread through the mass
ed millions of China and the reYo-
luton was effected almost without
delay and almost without blood
shed.
And yet a republic ordained by
the people, and sustained with the
people as source OF ultimate
authority, is not the best type Of
government The people themselv-
es must get their authority from a
higher source than human power.
And this republic will only achieve
its loftIest status when II becomes
in It's own declarations and lis
actions what It is historically, d
Christian republic. Once we attain
that, the example OF the United
States will be followed throughout
the world, as certainly as-tie ex-
ample has been followed in the

However we may look at it Individually, it is borne upon us
that the trend of the nations progress seems to be toward the pa
ternal idea. 1t appears TO be an inherent human trait to shift re-
sponsibility and present day governments are tending to accept
the shift with more or less equanimity, mainly through political
pressure rathsf fsan tfosH ans aaaa79asfnt qiae Is fss1egt thing
for att concerned. Ihe results of complete paternaiIsm, as exem-
pified in a certain well advertised country, are not extremely ed
flying at the present moment, but nevertheless, we appear to be
looking more and more to the benificent offices of Uncle Sam for
needed relief for personal troubles. A great many things that
were only jokes a few years ago re grim reality now. Laws have
been put over that have been extremely difficult and costly to en-
force, and there is much to be said, and is said, for both sides.
Prohibition is a live and insistent subject, but we feel no call to
present any argument here pro or con. We have friends, so to
speak, on both sides.
If the way toward paternalsm ended here, there would be
to worry about, but the constant cry is toward new prohibi-J
tive laws. The admonitory finger of the police" is always point
ed in our direction until 1t seems that we are to face nothing but
keep off" signs.
There is no need of going further as to what has been done
along these lines, but what is going to happen in the future con-
us greatly. If the corncob pipe has got to succumb to pro-
or prohibition we want to be prepared for the worst. If
the procession toward the relief of all our problems includes the
saying that our work day shallbe limited to a certain number of
hours, we must expect explicit programs for the hours of idleness.
is certainly fair enough. However, the worst has not arrived
yet and we are not quite ready to believe that sef-reiance or
character can be created by law or precept.

THE COMEBACK.

They never come back" may be a true expression when APP
piled in its first sense, which we believe was in the case of the
great John L., though it is increasingly evident that it doesn't
have any application in the case of the horse. A few years ago
farmers of the west, especially, made a great deal of costly exper-
iments with tractors and were properly Disguised with their ex-
perience. Better designing later on brought the tractor again in
to favor and it seemed for a time that the day of the horse was
over, as the needs of every farmer from the smallest to the cul-
tvator of whole counties could be supplied by the builders of
numberless varieties and styles of power plants on wheels. The
tractor now has a place on nearly every farm operated by pro-
gressive methods. Nevertheless, the horse is right there along
side the tractor and does not appear to worry in the least about
about as many horses of the laboring class as ever, though we
must confess that the smart driving horse trailing a top buggy
is considerable of a curiosity these days. Our observation also is
that the smaller farms are using horses for the greater part of
their work, even when the tractor is present. Also the present
season saw less trucks in operation for the hauling of wheat from
the farms than were in use last year, although the crop in this
section was much larger in the aggregate.
There is much further evidence that the sun of the horse has
not yet set. There were three motor trucks continuously in OPP
Grafton last year in handling the coal from the Belt wagon"
mines and at present there is only one working In opposition to
many teams of horses. Business conditions throughout the coun-
try during the past year have forced economy upon many big con-
Germs and they have been doing some figuring on the cost of trans
portation with the result that in many cities they have gone back
than can be covered by horses in a day, it is freely admitted
that the motor is the more economical, but within a 10mile ra-
dius the horse wins in the competition for economy. There is no
sentiment in this matter which has been figured out by traffic
experts, and put into practice by hard headed business men.
Personally, we are glad of ii, even though we live far from
race tracks, and have little expectation Of seeing another
tSmuggler" or "Jay-EyeSee" in action. At any rate it looks as
though 1t would be . long time yet before we are compelled to go
the ZOO TO- refresh our memory as to what = horse looks like.

The Kings hill psss road ia nov
closed for the year, according to M
H. Wolff, assistant district forester
who in company with w. B. Wiley,
supervisor of the Jefferson national
forest Monday tried to make the
trip ver the pass to White Sulphur
Spring.
"A big ear might make the grade
but the Ford we had couldn't buck

it is badly drifted," said Mr.. Wolff.
Mr.. Wolff explained the provision
of a new law passed by congress this
year. making possible the exchange
of forest lands for those which have
been cut "
This arrangement, he explained,
viii enable the small land owner to
get land more suitable for his needs
and will give the forest service an OPP

of forest lands.
The government can afford to wait
until the land is again productive, and
will then have a steady source of in

consequent loss of vim by the losing side. The idea after all is
not wholly in winning championships, there Is real glory" in play
ing the game for all it. il worth regardless of how it is going. And
again the game Is not primarily for the amusement. of the spec

might say character, of the players.
AS a rule the athletic activities of the smaller high schools
such as our own at Belt, cannot be expected to bring renown or
an excess of glory, but that does not detract from the actual value
of athletics in general 1t is of interest to note that in tracing
the career of every academy athlete over a period of 80 years, a
board of officers of the Naval Academy at Annapolis has found
that athletes were slightly better students than the other class
men, and after graduation showed a far greater permanency in
the service. An official investigation at Harvard college recently
also showed that sanely conducted athletics did not interfere with
