The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1925-11-18

Of gospel that Lud Roe is preaching.
Like other men who saw service over
seas, Lud knows better than any of
us stay-at-homes just what the war
actually cost in all the precious things
of life. He is no pacifist but he is
strong for a world-peace and his gos-
pei is that that peace must start
right in our own towns, our own COM
munities, our own state and our own
nation. Hate-so told us Mr.. Roe
in his talk of last Wednesdays the
cause of war. Hate is based on
racial, religious and national intoler-
ances. Therefore when we abolish
intolerance from our own neighbor-
hoods, when we learn to respect our
neighbours right to his own belief,
his own property, and love him for
himself instead of for the color of
his hair and eyes or for the land
which he may call Fatherland-when
we have done this we have made our
little personal start toward world
peace. Mr.. Roe goes farther. He be-
lieves and he certainly convinced at
least one of his listeners, that the in
dividual start in this matter is the
big concern. No community, no
state, no nation can be bigger in this
eight for peace" if we may so call
it, then every individual in that COM
munity. This is not a matter for
big organizations nor for that vague
and indefinite something called the
Government. These organizations
and that government are US, you and
l and the folks next door to US. II
we sidestep our personal response
bility in these things we, as a nation,
are lost. We may be pretty small
potatoes and also exceedingly few in
hill but we DO count-and the
thing for us to remember is that we
count most at the start. We may
not all see the finish and attain our
hearts desire in the matter, but we
can at least make it little easier
for the ones who must carry on to-
ward peace after we have finished
our small part of the job. Let's
start today right here in Redwood
County-and a start right in Red
wood Falls wouldn't be too bad.

Endless chain buying schemes have
become so menacing that the govern
ment has been obliged to attack some
of them seriously. The buyer first
paws 81 for coupon which with "a
entities him to buy from the manager
of the pool contract with 81 coupons
attached. These coupons he sells, re.
tanning the proceeds. On 81 pool
he pays out Sc and receives SO; he has
So invested, and will be entitled to
merchandise priced at $40 as soon as
each person to whom he sold dollar
coupon has sent 81 to the pool. When
the promoter of the pool delivers the
merchandise he has received "a from
each four persons. The original buy
er for 50 of his own money gets goods
priced at $40. The coupon buyers he
induced to go into the scheme have
more than paid the balance of the
price. Each of them will get $40
worth of merchandise for 81 of his
own if-and this is the nub of the
scheme-if he can find three coupon
buyers to pay 81 each to the pool.
Shoes and hosiery are specializing on
the new exploitation.
The cost Office has barred these end
less chains as lotteries, but this in
telligent use of the federal authority
has been nullified by an injunction
restraining the postmaster general
from enforcing the prohibition. Thous-
ands might escape loss if the specula-
tors advertising matter was kept out
of general circulation.-Red Wing
