LINCOLN STILL SERVES

Every year it becomes more apparent that Abraham Lin- coln's services to his country and humanity were not limited to his life time. Though his spacious heart, his rational mind, his impressive face and figure no longer function as such, the memory of these things continues virile and in- spring to this generation as to those just ahead and others still to follow.
 His greatest service come when the spirit droops, the conscience becomes torpid when the lust of materialism seizes the minds and hearts o1 the people and they turn from those great truths for which the Emancipator stood in such sublime dignity and firmness.
 This, like some of it's immedi- ately preceding years, is one when the people may invoke with abundant profit to them selves the spirit of Lincoln, his self-effacement, his unbound ed humanitarianism, his su- bordination of petty to large things, his high morality, his deep spirituality, his tremend- ous zeal for the good of all. No normal man or woman can stand in the shadow of- Line cln's memory and do little things.
 Lincoln serves today no less nightly than during his life time. His example seems es- pecially appropriate this year. In the rush to aggrandize self, to pile up substance, to give short shrift to spirit, to live on- ly for the day, the memory of Lincoln comes to caution and restrain and to point the way to a path of service he followed so diligently and faithfully.

Do You Remember When:
 The whole town turned out to see Uncle Toms Cabin?
 Men proposed to girls?
 You got ten licorice nigger babies for a penny?
 Drug stores sold only drugs?
 The Sunday School went to the park in a trolley car for its picnic?
 The minister preached of the sin of driving a car on Sunday? Girls wore red flannel petti- coats?

lied by local merchants, judg- ing by remarks heard recently.
 What difference does it make" one resident remarked, if I send out few dollars to mail-order houses now and then?"
 Were her particular case the only one of it's nature in the camp, it would make but little difference, but individual cas- es in the aggregate do make a great deal of difference. She is only one of many who are doing the same thing she is do- .ng, and, added together, the amounts they send out run into many hundreds of dollars a year. IL is the small buyer. hat keep the mail-order house. going. While we have no way of knowing what the mail or ders average in any particular house, yet it is safe to say that
 he sum is only a few dollars.
 The $2.98 you send away to- day is not much in itself, but when it is pooled with dozens of other like amounts is makes substantial sum. The small sums form by far the greater part of the millions of dollars of mail-order business done in this country every year.
 So spend your $2.98 with To- cal merchants whenever it is possible to secure locally the character of goods you desire. If you do that. you will not on- ly be helping them and your town but will also be helping yourself by keeping more mon- ey in circulation here. If all of the money spent by local resi- dents annually was spent in the local stores the camp would en- joy a generous prosperity and increased business would en- able the local business houses to sell at lower figures, owing to an increase of turnover. It may please the fancy of some to argue that this would not be the case but it would. In his de- sire to secure more trade the merchant who can sell at low CT figures will inevitably do so to secure the increased trade he desires. If you spend your S2.98 here, you also stand a chance of getting part of it back some day, but if you send it away the entire sum is taken

Editorial Comment
Movies Exert Wholesome Influence

Motion pictures exert a wholesome influence on youth
full morals. Though misinformed or unthinking critics
sometimes charge the screen drama with an opposite eff
feet. a study of 628 feature pictures produced in the Uni
ted States last year shows that it is q powerful deterrent
of crime. DR.. Clinton Wunder Of Rochester took this
convened in Washington. OF the pictures investigated.
that authority said, one-third presented no villain and
no crime. In another third the villain was caught and
severely punished; in II per cent the bad man was killed;
in 10 per cent he quit his evil ways and tried to repair
the wrong he had done; in S per cent the hero was
revenged on the villain-the favortte device Of >~old-fash-
toned melodrama.
It is. therefore. unlikely that any impressionable youth
will CLEAN from the movies the idea that crime pays. IN
the silent drama and the talking picture the cards always
arc stacked against the evildore. To be sure, In real life
many a villain prospers, many a criminal escapes punish
ment. many an honest man suffers wrong which never is
redressed. But even in most realistic" fiction such
things would not be tolerated. The literary p~roprieties
demand that in the end justice be done.

Concord Held Marvel of US.

(Heleu2, Mont, Record-Herald)
Such is the multiplicity Of conflicting interests in the
United States today that the marvel is not that there
is SO much discord and controversy but that there is so
much concord.
Capital and labor are at peace and they have many
conflicting interests. It is only that they have some
common interests which outweigh the others that theic
relations are usually so happy.
Agriculture and industry. consumer and producer, ship
per and carrier, bears" and bulls" tariff protectionist
and free trader, East and West and South, "wets' and
"drys' the sacred and the ptofane, big Navy" men and
d-i5armsmentists. bus and railroad and aviation. city and
country, highbrow and lowbrow. all are playing At q
never ending game Of tug-of-war.
Profound minds sec in the contest over Ware and
Grundy in the senate an outbreak Of sectionalism. Such
a theory would affront their more bitter foes on the
senate floor, but campaigners often are ignorant Of the
real cause for which they are fighting. It is a question
whether the attacks on Ware and Orundy have assured
better senators for the future or aggravated the quarrcl
between the East and West, which has been growing In
bitterness for years.
There is no better Testimonial to the strength Of the
federal government and to- the genius Of congress as
mediator than their signal success in serving these two
willful masters at the same time.
