WEBSTER ON COMMUNISM

The name communism probably il
less than one hundred years old, bu
the thing represented by the name ha'
been in existence, even here in thu
United States, longer than that. Here
Is an extract from an address before
the United States Senate by DAME
Webster more than century ago anc
1t reads as if it might have beer
written yesterday:
There are persons who constantly
clamor. They complain OF oppres-
sion, speculation, and the pernicious
influence of accumulated wealth.
They cry out loudly against all banks
and corporations, and all the means
by which small capitals become
united, In order to produce important
and beneficial results. They carry on
a mad hostility against all established
institutions. They would choke up
the fountains of industry, and dry all
its streams.
In a country where the wages OF
they clamor against oppression. In a
country of perfect equality, they
would move heaven and earth against
privilege and monopoly. In country
where property is more equally di-
vided than anywhere else, they rend
the air with the shouting of agrarian
doctrines.
I'm a country wheer the wages Of
labor are high beyond parallel, and
where lands are cheap, and the means
of living low, they would teach the
laborer that he is but an oppressed
slave.
what can such men want? What
do they mean? They can want
nothing but to enjoy the fruits of
other mems labor. They can mean
nothing but disturbance and disorder,
the diffusion of corrupt principles,
and the destruction of the normal
sentiments and moral habits OF
society"

HE is YOUR FATHER.

For us older men who see and fee
things said of us in haste and withou,
thought on the part of the younger
generation, the following published II
many newspapers expresses senti-
ment not hard to take.
Don't call him the old man. He's
your father. For years he has been
rushing around to keep things to-
gether. On his shoulders lie many
responsibilities Likely he works from
morning until late at night In order
that the family may have necessities
Of life. His place as protector OF the
home carries with it many worries.
In this age of civilization where
children often object to fathers
method of leadership, it Is not easy.
The children want to dictate, not
obey; they want to carry out their
own idea regardless Of the advice OF
Dad. Still Dad carries on. He keeps
on providing and protecting and ad-
vising, hoping for the best, even
though his heart may be sore by the
ever unnatural treatment of his
children, but he never gives up.
Dads hat may be old. His finger
nails may need manicuring. The old
vest may be a little loose and pants
bag at the knees. He thinks you are
the greatest boy In the world, even
though you plaster your hair, wear
smart clothes, smoke cigarettes and
never bring home a cent.
Just remember, he is the man who
won the love of the greatest woman
on earth, your mother. You will
have to go some to beat him. Don't
call him the old man. he's your
father"

the most scenic highways in
the country and is a source of
much qualification and pleas
ure to the tourist. The "Circle
Trip" being advertised by the
Ely Commercial Club is be-
coming immensely popular
year after year. Under the
able supervision of Engineer
Hanson of our neighboring
county, the appropriation will
be most judiciously expended.
One by one the old order of
things have changed. The
Police Gazette, the old barber
shop standby has suspended
publication and will be found
no more in tonsorial parlors
and on the news stands. In its
day the Gazette was the only
publication which dared to
show legs. Now the sight of
legs, even in the flesh, is
nothing to get excited over and
the tabloids, romance stories
and motion pictures furnish
thrills the Police Gazette never
even dared to hint at.
