certain standard of conduct for his
life. This is 4 help to every we'll
meaning fellow. It makes him feel
that he has inherited q certain ira
dition Of conduct, and that he must be
loyal to it. The result is that he
avoids many of the meaner vices,
which may seem enticing for the mo-
ment. but which bring misery in their
train and lead to broken homes and
ruined lives. Many people whose lives
have been wrecked by dissipations in
city surroundings, bitterly regret that
they had not remained in the coun-
try town where they came from, and
where helpful influences of friends
and neighbors and churches would
have kept them straight.
The country people have more time
to read good books and get interested
in the real ends Of life. and they are
not SO much diverted into the HARM
full pursuits.
The consequence of these conditions
is, that when any moral issue arises,
the country towns are apt to be the
strong character force that holds the
nation back from some delinquency.
1t will be sad day for the nation if
ever the country towns should decline
to the point where they would be un-
able to exert q restraining influence
over the follies of the cities.

THE FARMERS
TAXES

The National Industrial conference
board finds that the farmer pays more
than his share of the nations taxes.
The figures for 1922 show that the
ratio Of taxation to income for the ag-
ricultural classes was about II per
cent, while for the remainder of the
community it was about IL per cent
Taxation has always rested heavily
on the farmer. His land and build
ings and stock and machinery cannot
escape the eyes of the authorities,
and are sure to be assessed The
country populations need to study
carefully the costs of operating their
state, county, and local governments,
to make sure that the work is done in
a business-like. systematic, and eco
nomical way, as such large part of
these costs are paid by the farming
and country town population.

Republican party are not progressive.
II il charged that that organization
il in the hands of men Of retrosrade
tendencies. whose conservatism is
deeply rooted in the past, and who
are 50 tmid about changes of any
kind that they will hold the country
in q stationery position.
Such . point Of view overlooks the
masses Of people who constitute the
Republican party. Go through any
community in the northern. central or
western states. and who make up the
Republican party?
You will find that the majoritA of
the business men, the majority Of the
professional men, the majority of the
farmers and the families of all these,
are Republicans. You can 20 thru
the shops. and II you pick out the men
who read and keep posted on events
you will find the majority Of them
Republicans.
People Of all these types are not
reactionaries. Business men are fire.
quently called conservative. Yet the
reason why . man succeeds in busi-
ness is that he is of . progressive ma
ture. He was not satisfied with Just
ordinary conditions, but wanted to
reach out for better things. He made
his success by a willingness to i'm
prove and adopt new points of view
As conditions change. He will carry
that spirit into his political decisions,
and the majority Of business men
are truly progressive.
The Republican party leaders un-
derstand perfectly that they m t
make their point Of view attractive to
the great masses of hard working and
thinking people in the country, or
they will be thrown out of power and
not regain it again for many years.
All they ask is. that suggestions for
progress be practical and real, n d
that they do not tend to progress
backward.

TIE OUTLOOK FOR
THE YEAR 1924

The arrival of the year 1924 brings
many signs Of hopefulness for the
entire world and reading, As we have,
everything in the nature Of forecasts
We have in print we cannot help ex-
pressing the belief that the coming IL
months will find Us much farther on
the road that heads to worldwide
peace and permanent prosperity.
Austrian officials send word tn = t
they are entering the year with conf
dence; Hungary's conditions will be
bettered now that she has managed to
Aoat Q much needed loan; the outlook
for Germany is brighter than it has
been since the close Of the war by rea-
son Of the appointment Of American
experts to examine into her affairs
and determine how much she is able
to pay in reparations. The entire
situation in Europe, in fact, gives
much promise and offers the hope
that by the time another IL months
roll around some important changes
shall have taken place which will ben
eft all mankind.
Three great national elections will
be held this year-in the United
States, in France and in Italy. Rus
tery that has marked her for years,
and 30 secretly are her affairs still
being conducted that no one cares to
venture a prediction as to what the
future holds in store for her. All
throughout this country, all over this
state, even here in Julesburg and in
Sedgwick county we find conditions
very good, or at least not so bad as
some Of our pessimistic friends try to
lead US to believe. We could 60 far
ther and fare worse. And with more
hope and less "grouch" we are going
to get through this year even better
than we did in 1923, no matter if it is
the year of false political prophets
and chronic calamity howlers.

TAKING FINANCIAL
RISKS

A woman who some years ago made
a lucky investment in hazardous min
ing stocks was urging her friends to
go into like speculations. "Where
would be today if had not had any
courage? :" she remarked.
Encouraged by her example. one
of her friends with a small capital on
which she was wholly dependent,
made few investments in speculative
lines. Although several years have
passed since that time. one of those
investments has recently been consid-
cred worthless, while on the others the
capital has probably shrunk, with the
money drawing no interest. People
who contemplate hazardous invest
ments should look at that side of the
picture.
Instances are reported from time
to time of people entirely outside the
stock market who manage somehow
by luck or by exceptionally good
judgment to make fortunate invest
ments. This is an Indictment to the
thousands Of others to try the same
game.
But for every one who makes any
considerable success, there are many
who lose. A great many people see
their little savings dwindle away, or
are wiped out in a day by the swift
changes in the market.
Out of the people who take big fl
nancial risks there are a certain pro-
portion who will win. But it is a
small proportion. A multitude of 9TH
ers are as result deprived of their
little savings. and subjected in many
cases to privations and hardships
that would have been unnecessary
had they not been filled with the
spirit of taking risks.
The cream of the profits of specu-
lation is gathered by insiders, VIII o
know in advance when conditions are
so favorable for securities that they
are bound to rise. Outsiders who
play the game make hit once in a
while. but the great majority of them
find they have been playing with the
odds against them.

THE SERVICE OF THE
COUNTRY TOWNS

Country towns have a different
outlook on problems of conduct and
character than the cities do. and the
moral standards of the average coun-
try town are higher than those of the
average city.
People sometimes complain of the
spirit Of personal criticism and watch
fulness that prevails in the country
towns. If young man goes wrong.
he is the target for general complaint.
He may think he would like it better
if he were living in some city where
his lapses of conduct would pass un-
noticed in the crowd.
But really it is godsend to him
