COMMUNITY CAUSES

When the organizations of Mil
ford or any other town, arrange
their programs for the coming sea-
son, they should not omit to include
subjects relating to the development
of our community. Churches, fra
ternal societies, clubs of various
kinds, ETC., should consider them
selves as rallying centers in which
the people of the town push ahead
the progressive causes of the com
munity.
Opportunities should be given for
discussion of local causes. When
there are public movements that
should be put through, these various
organizations should mention and
commend them, and frequently give
a little time to speakers who will
advocate them. These societies and
associations can help accomplish
great many gains for our COM
munity.

PATRIOTISM BRINGS REWARDS

President Coolidge, in addressing
the Wisconsin American Legion, re-
ferred to the contrast between the
World war soldiers who received
low pay from the government, and
the men who were earning very
high wages in the industries at
home. But he felt that very few of
these veterans would exchange to-
day the experience they had in the
war, for the money they could have
earned, could they have avoided this
patriotic service.
Probably 80 per cent of the men
who earned this high pay spent
nearly all they earned, and have lit
tie or nothing left to show for the
money now. A great many of them
spent it in foolish ways, and are no
better off today. Only limited
number saved any considerable part
of this high pay.
The veterans often feel that their
task was a, thankless one, and has
never been appreciated. In that re-
spect they are wrong, for the ser
vice they rendered will never be
forgotten, and they are entitled to
high honor.
They can loo kback all their lives
with feeling of pride and salts
faction to the service they rendered.
Those who did not have the chance
to cross the ocean can have the
same feeling, as they were equally
ready to go. /
Furthermore, the men who per-
formed this service, if they did it in
he right spirit, obtained some very
practical values. They learned a
ot from army discipline, from the
'egular and methodical ways of mil
tary life, from contact with men
rom different sections, from able
nen placed over them as officers.
These veterans have all gained from
heir experience in practical ways,
ind should be worth more to al
most any employer, everything else
,eing equal, than men without that
experience. Their tremendous task
eemed hard at the time, but their
service is bringing large
ewards, whether the yrealize it or
lot.

QUIzzING THE CANDIDATES


About now the candidates for Off
ces big and little are receiving ques-
lions from organizations and indi-
viduals, who want to know what
they think about a long list of ques-
lions.
There are a great number of peo-
pie and organizations whose minds
are concentrated on one issue or
line of issues. They want to know
what the candidate thinks about
that one thing, and they are indif-
ferent to what he thinks on anything
else. They will often vote for a
poorly qualified person, simply be-
cause he happens to agree with
them on the one point to which their
interest is attached.
When people are elected to Office,
they must please the mass of the
people. If they set out just to
please the one idea people, they will
give a very one sided administra-
ton. We need people who have all
round qualifications, rather than
crusaders who go into Office with
the purpose to settle some one prob
lem alone.
Organizations have great power in
politics now. When some such So
ciety quizzes a candidate about the
idea or ideas which it holds to be
predominant, it has the power to
turn many votes against that can
didate if his principles on that point
are considered unsatisfactory. But
the people who take different point
of view have also to be considered,
and they frequently rebel against
the tendency of some minority in
terest to try to dictate and control
the affairs of the government.
The candidate who refuses to ca
ter to special elements, but who ex-
amines all questions seriously and
tells the people frankly what he
thinks about them, wins the most
support in the long run. His work
is apt to be so good, that people who
disagree with him on one or two
points will yet support him.

NO DOUBT WHERE FARM
WOMEN STAND

Regardless of differences of opin-
ion as to the relative parts played
by husband and wife under urban
conditions, there can be no doubt as
to their relationship in agricultural
households. The farmers wife is a
help-meet in every sense of the
word. AS often as not, it is her
keen judgment and sound sense that
have final influence in determining
any matter under discussion.
When husband and wife are con-
WINGED from the start, the victory is
doubly assured. The strength of
the Hoover-Curtis ticket in Mime
sofa, according to Ludwig 1. Roe,
chairman of the Minnesota state
committee, is due primarily to the
fact that Mr.. Hoover's proposals for
farm relief appeal strongly to both
the men and women of the Minneso-
ia farms.
They believe the Republican pro-
gram comes nearer meeting the ac-
tual and future needs of the farmer
than that advanced by the Demo-
Gratis, and they are convinced the
record of Mr.. Hoover for high honor
and sincerity, extraordinary capac-
ity in performance of difficult under
takings, and his vast knowledge of
the whole subject of agriculture,
marks him inevitably as the right
person to carry out that program.
Milford chronicle., 1928-09-28
SUNDAY SCHOOLS MUST BE
PROGRESSIVE

The Sunday schools of the land
are getting under way again after a
; period of vacation or desultory at
tendance. Those who take upon
themselves the burden of the relig-
ious education of youth are ready to
buckle down to what is conceded a
real Job. Young people do not turn
out to Sunday school as they did a
generation or two ago. The reason
why would be interesting and valu-
able.
Time was when every child in ev-
cry community dressed in his best
on Sunday morning and started off
to the church school, fortified with
his lesson learned during the week.
He memorized the golden text and,
likely as not, a considerable number
of verses from the Bible. A whole
some taste for Biblical literature
and a facility in Biblical quotation
were usually impaired in the Sun
day school.
But times have changed. A col
lege professor recently discovered
that his class in English literature
could not indemnity 20 per cent of
the Biblical illusions to be found
in a selected group of Tennyson's
poems. Familiarity with the Bible
and attendance upon Sunday school
are marked by the same ratio of de-
cline.
The Sunday school today contends
with competitors never thought of
in the olden days. The waning pow
err of parental authority is another
enemy of stated religious education.
But the great weakness lies in the
antiquated equipment and the out
grown practices of backward
churches. The contrast between the
public school and some Sunday
schools is pathetic. The child feels
this disparity even though he may |
not analyze it.
Happily, the churches understand
this weakness and are boldly attack
ing it. The period of transition is
upon the Sunday school and upon
methods in religious education. The
problem is big one but it can and
will be solved.
That it must be solved is the con-
viction of every true American,
churchgoer or not. Relig-
ious education is every bit as funda-
mental to the welfare and happiness
of a democracy as secular education.
1t must not decline either in favor
Or usefulness. 1t must not even lag
behind.
PEOPLE CAN'T build a good {
nome town in Milford or any other
place by simply using hammers.
Milford chronicle., 1928-09-28
SHRINKING GREENBACKS

Americans soon will have a little
experience of their own with shrink
ing money. But, while marks
francs and rubles shrank in value,
the dollars shrinkage will be in
size. The new bills, one-third
smaller in size than those now in
circulation, will be placed in distri-
button shortly.
Although the average citizen has
personal reasons to doubt it, about
$3.50, 100000 in bills is outstanding.
When the new bills are ready the
banks will issue them and send to
Washington the large ones that
come into their possession.
When the new money has driven
out the old it will be found that
everybody has been benefited. While
the two sizes are in circulation only
bankers and magnates will be in
cOnvenienced. But when the last of
the large bills has disappeared from
circulation the government will save
money, the wad will make a smaller
bulge in the pants pocket or silk
stocking and paper money will be
more mailable as well as portable.
Small enough to be placed in
wallet or envelope without folding,
the diminutive currency will remain
cleaner and will live longer. More
over, Secretary Mellon says the new
bills will be harder to counterfeit
and handsomer than the old. If any
body is a better authority on money
than Mellon, let him be produced
And if he is not complaining about
the trou BILE of counting two sizes of
bills nobody should, for few have
more in their own name and none
has mere under his official control.
Milford chronicle., 1928-09-28
LESS RICOTRY. IF YOU PLEASE

LESS BIGOTRY, IF YOU PLEASE
The attacks upon the Protestan
churches, particularly upon the
Methodist and Baptist churches, in
tended to arouse 'sectarian prejudice
for the benefit of Gov. AL Smith
should be repudiated by that candi-
date.
1t is well to remember that when
this election is over, Catholics and
Protestants of every denomination
must live together as neighbors and
fellow citizens. 1t is certainly less
important to solidify a religious
bloc in favor of the return of the
liquor traffic than it is to preserve
neighborly friendship and conf
dence. Yet Mr.. j. J. Raskob, a
papal knight and private chamber
lain to the pope, so far forgot him
self, so disregarded every dictum of
propriety as to call upon Protestant
communicates to starve their pas
tors if they dared to protest the po-
litical attack being made upon the
morality of law Ministers who have
been driven by conscience to oppose
the political effort to restore the
liquor traffic have been denounced
as political parsons" have been
accused of "bigotry," and "intoler-
ance."
The Methodist Church has ever
preferred fact to theory. The fact
is that Roman Catholic laymen such
as Sen. Walsh of Montana, the late
Chief Justice White, Mayor Mitchell,
and many others have afforded the
country patriotic leadership not
surpassed by that of any Protestant.
The fact is that the Catholics, in
quite as large a proportion as Pro-
testants, have demonstrated their
patriotism in peace
and war. Methodists and the Meth
odist Church object strongly to ut
which are offensive to such
people, to anything which might
wound their spirits or make them
feel their loyalty to be under sus-
picion. But it is also the fact that
individuals have been
conducting an offensive and unfair
campaign against the
Protestant churches and then with
gall have accused these
very churches of offensive meas
ures. Gov. Smiths friends, without
the slightest excuse, precipitated
he religious issue in the 1924 con-
7ention and have used it unscrupu-
ously and increasingly ever since.
If the price of a discontinuance
If the backdoor campaign against
he Protestant churches is that they
shall cease to appeal to the con-
sciences of their people against the
.ffort to restore the bar-room and
he political brewery, it must con-
inue. The Methodist church GER
ainly, and, we believe, the other
will not be bluffed, will
lot be bullied, and have no reason
whatever to fear the warfare now {
eing conducted by Tammany Hall. t

BEAUTIFUL WOMEN

The Chicago professor who has
gained a little brief notoriety by his
declaration that 80 per cent of the
women are homely, probably is one
of those odious efficiency experts. ;"
They reckon everything in per-
centages. Whatever he is, he is
woefully off his base in making
such an assertion.
Ninety per cent, indeed! Not even
in Chicago, we venture to say, will
so large a proportion of homely wo-
men be found. And in Milford, Del
aware, not 80 per cent, nor nine per
cent-no, it cannot be conceded that
even one per cent of our women are
bomely.
There are different standards of
judging feminine pulchritude. Turks
and Eskimos are said most to adj
mire women who are, let us say,
plump, well-rounded, moon-faced.
Others prefer the svelt type. Ideas
concerning beauty vary.
The Standard dictionary, defining
beautiful, says; "The definition
of beauty, perfection of FORM is
a good key to the meaning of beau
tiful', if we understand form in it's
widest sense" 1t is submitted that
under the terms of this definition
(if we understand form" in its
widest sense) all women are beauti-
full. The dictionary goes on to say,
however, that there must be har-
mony and unity, and in human be-
ings spiritual loveliness, to consti-
tute an object or a person really
beautiful"
No attempt will be made to answer
for the women of Chicago as to
they possess the additional |
requirement of spiritual loneliness.
But it can be said in behalf of the
fair ones of Milford, without fear of
contradiction, that they
have this, as we'll as unity and har-
mony.
