CLEME;NCEAU USES PLAIN
LANGUAGE

In answer to critics, particui
arly certain members Of thj
united States Senate, George
Clemenceau, "Tiger' of France
comes back with plain truths
which may not be pleasant to
some, yet truths they be.
In his Boston address he de
clared that he came to America
to get this country to take part
in the Lausanne Conference
saying: Never were cikcum
stances better. Go there ant!
you will meet the eastern cues
ton which is troubling the world
for the last 500 years.
And you will do more-yol
Will settle it, because you can 40
1t, because the presence of Amer
lea IN Europe again will tell tie
Germans that they won't 90 far
ther than certain limits, and be
cause everybody will understand
that there IS a moral and mater
lal power which is to take poss-
eslon OF the world, not for dom
nation, but for freedom. -
Prior to, and during, the World
war the influence of America
was the greatest moral force in
the world and the whole earth
looked toward this country tc
lead 1t out Of the darkness which
had possessed the face Of earth.
That darkness has not yet disap-
peared and the United States
still has duty to perform. It
cannot step from the stage and
forever disappear from the coun-
sells Of the nations. 1t has taken
and earned place Of influecc
and that Influence should still
be exerted to help the hard press
ed nations Of the world to again
find peace and security. If II
does not use that influence in
time Of peace it will again see the
world in chaos and locked in az
other deadI Iy struggle between
forces Of right and progress and
those Of destruction.
These truths may not be agree
able, but netherless they must
be faced.

sent Mr.. Roger Babson there
to tell the publicity men why he
goes to church and why they
! should do the same. Babson's
! contention was that the need of
the hour is not more factories "
materials, not more railroads or
steamships, not more armies or
more navies, but rather more
educati ibn based on the teach
ings Of Jesus. The prosperity Of
our country depends on the mo.
tives and purposes Of the people
These motives and purposes are
directed only in the right course
through religion. In spite Of
their imperfections, this is why
believe in our churches, and
why [ am a great optimist or
their future.
eve stand at the cross roads, :"
says Mr.. Babson. eve must
choose between God and Nam
mon. Materialism is undermine
ing our civilization as it has un
dermined other civilizations.
Unless we heed the warning in
time to get back to the funGa-
mentals, we must fall even as the
civilizations Of Egypt, Greece
and Rome fell-and for this
same reason.
In further elaboration, Mr..
Babson said the statistics of
every Nation indicate that true
religion is the power necessary
for the development Of it's re
sources, and for its successful
continuation. "The challenge, -
he declared, "goes out to every
man to support his church, to
take an active part in the re1::.
glous life Of his community, 70
live according to the simple pr11l-
clples upon which this, the great !
est country in the world, ives
founded 800 years ago
All OF which is very true. but;
what constitutes the foundation
for this ''true religion?' That
IS the one point the moralists too
frequently overlook. It is the
home. That is the foundation
stone upon which the Church. it.

THE FOUNDATION OF

There has been some discussion
recently in the public prints

have a publicity man discussing
the value of the church to til,
newspaper men in particular and
to business men in general. The

eously and godly in this present

We must get back to s'the
setting in order Of the things that
are wanting in the home. When
we get the home right, the church
will automatically adjust itself
upon the same basis. Getting the
home right means getting the
world right.-Charlotte Observer.

PROPOSE SOLUTION
OF WATER PROBLEM
Public Works and Water
Board to Meet Shortly in
Joint Session

AS a result of many protests filed
Charles street and vicinity that the
sewer departments operations on the
new trunk line have caused their
| wells to go dry and with warm wealth
er the water being brought to them
in sprinkling carts is not fit to drink,
joint meeting of the water and pub
| lie works boards is being planned in
an effort to solve the problem.
Under existing rules, the water
board can lay mains only when the
petitioner or petitioners furnishes a
bond to guarantee the city eight per
cent. Of its investment each year for
period of five years In some in
stances, the cost of water to some
whose wells have dried up, would
run as high as $50 a year, while the
ordinary rental is from S. to $40 a
year.
Since the operations of the two
departments were responsible in a
measure at least, for the drying up
ist it has been suggested that the
water department lay the mains and
collect rental only for what water is
used, the board Of public works max
ing up the deficit between this amount
and the usual eight per cent. on the
amount invested.
During the winter and spring, the
sprinkling cart system was fairly sat
isfactory. With warm weather, resi-
dents report, it is not fit for con
sumption by human beings. One of
the complainants who called at the
mayors office this morning asserted
that not only her family cannot drink
the product carried to them in the
carts now, but even her cattle refuses
to imbibe.
The mayor has under consideration
plan of City Engineer j. d. VIII
lams which would cause the burden
of paying for water service supplied
to be apportioned Namong property
owners pro rata, regardless of wheth-
er or not there are dwellings on the
property, A charter amendment will
be necessary if this is to be brought
about.

mayor that the emergency fund can
not be drawn on for such purposes,
ror can moneys be taken and charged
to any other account.

exercise his veto right, but was as
sured that the police board regarded
the proposal unfavoraby.
