THE REAL AND THE IDEAL

II believe the public opinion of
this country is essentially sound"
wrote former President Wilson to
friend in the South, "and it is OBJ
viously swing back to the high levels
it occupied during the war. | look
for genuine and an immediate rem
aissance of the finest sort of politi-
cal idealism in this country"
Idealism had its day during Mr..
Wilson's term in the White House.
Unfortunately for the political pres
poets of the Democrats, the worship
of ideals was so intense as to ex-
clude the need of making practical
application of them to modern life.
Mr.. Wilson failed to comprehend the
truth that the frailties of morality,
and make impossible the attainment
of the ideals that he advocated. Had
he comprehended that fact he would
have been content with such pro-
gress toward his ideals as circum-
stances permitted. Instead, he stroye
for the impossible and his cherished
schemes fell to the ground.
President Harding's ideals are as
lofty as those of his predecessor, but
he has tempered their application
with practical understanding of
the readiness of the world to accept
reforms. He has not sought the
millennium at stroke, but has won
a long succession of diplomatic
triumphs that mark the progress of
his administration toward world
peace as in striking contrast to the
dishearing failures of Mr.. Wilson.
The contribution that the United
States will make in the future to-
ward the cause of peace will be en-
HANGED by keeping our feet on the
ground, and extend a helpful advice
and suggestions only when the world
indicates readiness to receive them.
A renaissance of the political ideal
ism that Mr. Wilson has in mind
would bring to a sudden stop the
steady progress of the last two years
toward contentment in our own coun-
try and toward the elimination of
the causes of discomfort among ma
tons. Mr.. Wilson's optimism over
the Democratic outlook is testimony
portunity to use to pull their chest

THE PROGRESSIVE BEGINS AN
OTHER NEW YEAR

This week The Progressive starts
a new Volume, brings a new year.
Eleven years have passed into his
tory, and here we are stepping out
into the twelfth year with the ever
increasing purpose and desire of de-
velopeing and improving Barbour
County. This can only be accom-
plished by the cooperation of all its
citizens. Can we depend on each
dyed-in-the-wood Barbourian to help
just a little? We are trusting each
one of you once more. Come on
with your subscriptions! We can't
run a newspaper alone. 1t takes a
philanthropist to run one without
paid subscriptions, advertising and
the job work. We think we are en-
titled to all three of these incomes
to meet the increased demand for a
larger paper, more reading matter,
etc.

CUBA RAISING CAIN

The boycott against sugar may or
may not be justified, but the Cubans
have little cause for raging at Amer
leans on that account. They owe
their independence to the United
States, and, on at least two occasions
since it was achieved, the Cuban
government has been rescued from
its own folly and set on it's feet once
more. We're it not for the United
States, it is not too much to say
that Cuba would cease to exist as
an Independent nation, and speedily
sink back into the colonial condition
from which she was rescued in 1898.

HIRAM'S ANSWER

Lord Robert Cecil has returned to
England and his first words are a
warning to the British advocates of
the league of nations not to place
too much reliance on America com
ing IN. Cecil came, he saw, and he
was bunkered. He got away with
more impudence than any Britisher
who has yet visited this country to
tell US how to run our affairs, and it
is probably too much to hope that
some other Lord or Lady will not he
relayed to this country to keep un
the work of advising us as to what
we should do.
When Senator Hiram johnson was
asked, during his visit to London
what he thought of the Ruin, occn-
pation by the French he replied that
IL was none of his business. John
son did not have the effronterv to
tour Europe telling the Europeans
how to run their affairs. If he had
done so the chances are he vould
nave been ordered out of France or
Great Britain. Why should we sit
Dack and permit these foreign pro-
pagandists to abuse us and make fun
OF US, When all they desire is an on
portunIty to use use to null +be;r
chestut out of the fire.

LONG

The health of our people is fairly
good. Except Mr.. H. G. Shockef
has been knocked out for few days
last week.,
We had the worst spell of winter
ever witnessed on Long Run. Had
some four inches of snow and four
degrees in freezing. The worst win
ter for this time of year ever known,
has perhaps killed the fruit.
Last Sunday the U. B. people at
Loda held a Mothers Day service,
quite crowd of people assembled.
Had all day service, dinner near
the church on a large table. All seem
ed to Eat till satisfied then vituals
enough left for another such crowd
All cent nicely with a good program

FINLAND FIRST

The delay in executing the final
contract for the payment of the Brit
ish debt has given Finland the OPP
portunity to be the first of the bor-
rowing nations to complete the a
greement for repayment. The amount
involved is about 100000, and the
terms are similar to those negotiat-
ed with Great Britain. The other
debtor nations would better look to
their credit, when one of the new
states growing out of the war leads
the way in fulfilling its international
obligations.

PAN-AM FARLEY ENDS

The Pan-American conference at
Santiago, Chill, has come to an end.
1t will result in closer understand
ing among the republics represented,
and truer appreciation of the posi-
ton held by the United States in
New World affairs. A proposition
Tor league of western nations was
presented, but received scant attent-
ION when the opposition of this
country was registered. The Mon
roe Doctrine was recognized as
more efficient safeguard from Old
World intrusion than any other ar
rangement that might be devised.

SMALL TOWN HUMOR
AND PHILOSOPHY
By BUCK CAMPBELL

Every man should be his own
prophet so far as mental wealth
er is concerned.
A small boy In applying for a
position was asked II he used
profanity. II kin II necessary"
He got the job.
Being a saint on Sunday and
a devil the rest Of the week is
just little better than being a
devil all the time.
When you see a man with a
string on his finger to remind
him Of something, you can be
certain he is tied.
OF course the modern girl
knows more than her mother,
but 1t sort of gets on our nerves
to hear her tell her mother so.
-
II q mans wife has too many
relatives it's just as well for
him not to develop too much of
a reputation for being too good
natured.

There are lot of things we like
about President Harding but we
think his most valuable characters
tic just at this time is his poise - his
deliberateness of manner - his self
control. If the ship of state ever
nee da calm hand at the helm, it
needs it now, and no one seems to be
able to get Harding ratified"
