A National Danger.

A disregard for the eighteenth a.
mendment to the federal constitution
by any state may be regarded as a
matter of much serious concern for the
nation. If any state can choose to
defy the federal constitution because it
sees fit to do so, then we have come to
the breaking down of federation of
states under the stars and stripes. 1t
will result in the creation of group of
separate nations as in Europe. 1t will
mean the end of the United States.
Some states may wish to ignore the
eighteenth amendment. If they can
get away with that. what is to prevent
other states ignoring the seventeenth,
the sixteenth, the fifteenth, and any
other amendment or part OF the
original constition? Either we are the
United States or we are not united.
Either the constitution is the law oil
the whole United States or 1t Is not.
Either the spirit of states rights and
secession is dead forever or 1t IS very
much alive now and menace to our
national existence.
1t is about time for a showdown on
this question. We cannot fiirt with a
disregard for the federal constitution
any more than any county or city can
be allowed to snap its fingers at the
state constitution.
Why is it that we have more crime
many times over in the United states
than in England and its provinces!
BECAUSE law is law on English territory
and because it is not on United States
soil We have too much contempt ror
law for courts, for constitutional
authority. We have too many laws
and not enough regard for the essentials
of law. We have too low. standard
for legal conduct. Our laws and our
LAWYERS need reforming. A year oe,
voted to the repeal and simplihcatioh ol d
procedure for all our laws would result
in greater regard for law. The Success

BEING BUSY.

When people tell one an
other how busy they are or
have been, although they are
likely 10 lament the busy
ness" they usually regard it
as creditable. And yet to be
busy is not necessarily to be
engaged in anything worth
while. Being busy and work.
ing are by no means synony-
nous. The disparaging ex-
preston "a busybody' arose
from PERCEPTION of that fact.
People who keep themselves
pretty constantly occupied
with work have no time or
Inclination for mischief-mak-
linz, yet people can busy them
selves in making mischief.
They can busy themselves too
IN ways that do no special
harm to others and that are
|yet futile and frivolous. A
great many people, for exam
|ple, are busy performing
social acts and rites that have
no particular value.
Being busy in the sense of
being constantly occupied
with the little complications
10 the web of life is a harass-
|'ng and discouraging form of
activity Yet nowadays peo-
pie give more time and effort
TO the attempt to deal with
such complications than ever
|oetore-because the compli-
cations are more numerous
and intricate.
The persons who are busy
most OF the time on produc-
|aYe' lntel esting work of some
KIND, and who do not allow
The element of BUSINESS to in
Vade their hours of recreation
and relaxation, have a sound
philosophy ? of life and are

Ladies Aiders Are Money Makers.

Like every other organization a
church costs money. There are the
pastors salary, the up keep of the
church property, and the benevolences
all calling for money.
The ideal way to support a church is
by subscriptions but few churches are
supported in that way.
Money must be earned in another
way, hence ladies' aids and auxilaries.
1t matters not by what name they are
known. They consist of the ladies' of
the church who are willing to bake,
sew, and give entertainments and
bazaars in order that the deficiency
may be met.
For this reason the ladies of the
M. E. church have been working very
hard since last June Is to pay little
debts and to repair the church.
Following Is report of the use of
the money they have earned.
Repairing and decorating

Crumbs Swept In.


King George of Greece didn't have
his hair cut until he got out of the
country. for fear of having his throat
cut. Reminds US that we put lot of
faith in the barber.
Some scribe wrote that 1T Is with
words as with sunbeams-the more
they are condensed, the more they

copy. But if following this advice
would impair the burning qualities of
the Record. we'll take it all back,
because the Record does make fine
kindling.
Fewer births and more marriages
are noted in New York. Folks must
be losing sight of the fact that each
child counts so much off when you go to
fill out your income tax blank.
Boston man conducted contest to
get word that would ''fit" the law
less scoffing drinker." Can't be done
because he's misfit.
Hollywood may have reformed, but a
lot of motion picture actors and
actresses who live there haven't.
Very few things turned out as badly
as the chronic pessimists expected in
1928, but that happens every year.
1t is said that the average man spends
three years of his life buttoning his
collar. Perhaps whiskers would be
better after ALL
Here's hoping that some of our fine
young bachelors get caught. 1t would
serve them right for holding out so
long.
No young man was ever refused.

Have you all figured out what you
are going to do with the extra day in
1924?
March has FIVE pay days. but that $
the month the income tax falls due.
Flowers that come before the funeral
help to keep the undertaken away.
People who do their Christmas saving
early will have fewer regrets at the
end of 1924.
Doing unto others as you would be
done by is good practice and it pays in
the long run.
Business men who don't suspect their
competitors of unfair practices are the
kind to tie to.
There is more help for the fellow who
knows nothing than for the fellow who
knows it all.
Low speed justice is not likely to
develop into high speed law enforce

People want taxes reduced so they
will have more money to buy more
automobiles and gasoline and wear out
more roads, which will make more
taxes.
Brains is one thing that can't be
syndicated.
There were fewer lynchings in 1928,
but no comparative statistics on HUSBAND
murders are available.
Bryan says Ford deserted the masses
when he came out for Coolidge. Well
if it's true, it's a downright shame
