American
Principles
and Ideals

1t has been said that patriotism
must be an intelligent patriotism !;
there is much that passes for ii that
Is not intelligent, and some that falls
within DIR. Johnson's definition: "Pa-
triotism is the last refuge of a scoun-
drel." Nothing is easier than to be
patriotic when 1t is simply question
of going with the crowd. But more
than this is required-disinterested
service, a full discharge of the duties
of citizenship (even to the honest pay
ing Of taxes). independence and cour-
age in the exercise Of the right to vote,
obedience TO the law etc. There must
he service by outward act and deed,
and not mere lip service. asserts

selves Americans, for ideas and ideals
do not merely float In the air-they
are incarnated In men and women,
and by men and women they are ap-
piled to life. Principles are of no
value till they are acted on, and they
must be acted on by people. The
memories and traditions of which
something has been said all attach to
people, and the history Of the coun-
try which is part of II today was
made by people. It is into the labors
of very real people that we of the
present time have entered. The prob
lem, therefore, is one of keeping
Americans true, not solely to the flag,
but to the flag as the symbol of great
national llfe Into that life II Is nee
essary to enter, In 1t men must share.
The more complete their participation
the greater will be their love of their
country-and their love of 1t for what
1t really is. and of all that 1t stands
for. A patriotism thus enlightened
and inspired will. as has heeS seid,
be close Of kin to religion.
Preserve Faith and Hope.
1t is not boasting to magnify ones
blessings, or to dwell lovingly and
proudly on the principles and ideals
which are American. II is necessary
indeed to do this, since there are some
unhappy souls who see nothing good
In America, and who are even yet look
ing to Russia for inspiration and sal
vation. Nothing can be done with or
for such. but il may be possible to
prevent others from being led astray
through ignorance Of what America
truly Is. The American people have
been impervious to the incursiOns Of
Bolshevism. not because they are dull
and stupid, but rather because they
are satisfied. and have reason TO be.
They know their America well enough
to know that there Is no country In
the world in which opportunity Is more
freely offered, none which comes %

house here Wednesday after
noon. in the interest of his
candidacy for the nomination for
governor. He was interduced
by j. L. McCarver, Chairman Of
Democratic Executive COM
mittee of this county, who paid
high tribute to the political
career of the distinguished
speaker On account of the far
mers being behind with their
work, not many people from the
country were present. Mr..
Peay's address was received
with close attention. and good
order was given throughout his
speech, which was in the line
with his opening campaign ad-
dress. He went from here TO
Hilham.
Mr.. Peay spoke at Granville
Wednesday morning, and from
reports from that section, sew
eral of the citizens there have
declared themselves for Mr. Peay.
That he made several votes In
Gainesboro, is not disputed.

Many Things to Learn.
On the nations birthday, therefore,
the American people should pledge
themselves to greater devotion to
American ideals, to more loyal and un-
selfish service, and to stricter conform
ity to those great principles which lie
at the basis of the nations life. There
is great need for education, since much
Of the failure to appreciate this coun-
try is due to a pitiable ignorance Of
It's history, It's institutions, and OF all
that America has throughout Its life
stood for. And this ignorance Is often
the densest In the minds Of those who
think Of themselves as reformers. and
who indeed are allowed to pose as
such. Men need to be very sure that
they know what liberty, as won by
people of the Anglican race. IL, and
what are Its safeguards. II Is partic-
ularly necessary that they should un-
derstand the right Of minoritles. and
should realize that there Is such a
thing as the despotism Of majorities.
There are some things that vote Of
the majority cannot be allowed to
sanction, as our constitution recog-
nizes. Perhaps this is one Of the most
important lessons to be learned. as II
seems to be the most difficult TO bring
home 10 men. The very restraints OF.
which the uniformed 30 often com
plain have no other purpose than to
protect the helpless against the strong.
And this is a part Of Americanism. &c
we approach another Fourth OF July.
The world Is in sad state. ana ever
In fortunate America all things an
not as we should like to have them
Nevertheless the foundation Of Coz
standeth sure" and II Is not likely tt
be shaken.

WOMENS DUTY TO Vote.

cEOtu Speccn Dy SENATOR a.
Pomerene of Ohio.
There was time when there
was q difference of opinion in
the United States whether or
not women should have the
right to vote. That is purely an
academic question now. | do
not look upon the right of
suffrage as a privilege | look
upon it as an obligation. 1t is
just as much your duty and my
duty to take an interest intelli-
gent as we'll as active in the
affairs of state as it is for the
good wives and mothers to take
such an interest in their house
hold affairs, or for men and
women to to take such an
interest in their business affairs.
The government of the United
States is the household of Uncle
SAINT people, and every man
and woman must take a real
interest in Uncle Sans house.
keeping, otherwise they will fall
short of doing their full duty.
The vast majority of all par.
ties are good people, men and
women. If we get the wrong
kind of men or women on our
ticket it is. as a rule, because
the good men and women have
not taken the interest in politi-
cal affairs they ought to take.
There can be no question about
that. Our government is just
as good as its people, and no
better. Our government serves
the people to the extent they
take and active and intelligent
interest in it. It is for this
reason every God-fearing man
and womon ought to take very
real interest in our COVE nment
And let ME say to you, my
friends, the vicious men and
women. almost without excep-
ton, will be found active dur
ing campaigns and at the polls
on election day. The question
for us to detetmine for ourselves
is. Are we going to shirk our
duty, or are we going to do it
with the intensity of purpose
they do what they conceive to
be their duty!
TWO KINDS OF SIN.
There are Two kinds of sin
One is the sin of commission.
One is the sin of omission.
When men and women go to the
polls and knowingly vote for the
wrong candidates they are guilty
of the sin of commission. When
men and women fail to take an
active and an intelligent interest
in the affairs of government.
and do not 90 to the polls, they
are guilty of the sin of omission.
In my judgment they are equally
culpable with those guilty of the
sin of comission. | want to ap-
peal to the good men and wom-
en- of Ohio to take such an in.
terest in the affairs of our
government as they never have
before in their lives.
WOMEN MUST VOTE AND
VOTE RIGHT OR PAY $1,000
900, 600 MORE TAXES.
Ii is estimated that under the
stimulus of the high rates pro-
posed in the pending bill the
women of the United States will
be forced to pay approximately
One Billion Isl, 900. 010.000) DOL
lars more for clothing than they
nav now under the Underwood
Simmons law. This includes all
articles of women's wearing
apparel from lace to hair nets

INSIST
ON THEIR MONEY
There Will be an Attempt to
Find a Compromise at the
Cannes Meeting.

Cannes, Jan. THE allied su-
preme council planned to begin con-
sideration of the question Of Ger
many's reparation in an atmosphere
somewhat cleared by yesterdays de-
cision to get together with Russia in
consideration of the subject.
The Belgian delegation announced
it would insist on Belgium's priority
to $2,500,00O gold marks of the
German reparation. This is regarded
as important obstacle to the British
plan. Both the Belgian and French
are opposed to moratorium for Ger
many but the French are inclined to
agree in reduction of cash payments
provided the British stick to their
proposals to reduce the total pay
ments from two billion marks to five
hundred marks on condition mater
ials be delivered to the value of two
billion marks
At this rate it will take five years
Ito pay off priority claimed by the
Belgians and France will have to wait
that long before receiving any cash
at all.
1t is believed the British will en-
deavor to find some compromise in
;regard to finances.
