ARE WE DETERIORATING?

From the tendency of the times, it seems to us
that we as American people, are losing our am
bition and initiative. We seem to have gotten into
an age of something for nothing Formerly it was
counted blessed privilege to climb the heights of
success, and use our energy in working out our
own salvation in the various walks of life, and con-
trbutipg our talents to human progress in happy
and contented manner.
Now, we appear nation standing by the
highways of progress, and keep continual jerking
of our thumbs for free ride to the top of

There is room enough at the top. But one must
work his way to that point. There free rides
to success in any calling. Whether person ever
reaches the top, or rises above the crowd at the
base of the pyramid, will be decided by the way
in which be or she improves the talents they pos

knowledge of the business they desire to pursue,

BOATING AND MORALS

Far be it from US to elaborate at length on the
tragic incidents at Lake Lure Tuesday night when
two men and girl were drowned, and another girl
went through narrowing experience which will
doubtless haunt her until her dying day. The les
son which is the incident offers is quite wildly
brought out. But comment or two is not amiss.
Both men were married. The girls with them
were not their wives That's bad enough for the
wives but the worst thing about the whole affair is
the fact that both were fathers of sixyear-old
boys Imagine the thoughts and feelings of their
boys when they reach the age when the battles of
life can be fought successfully only when man
has strength of character.
When man marries and becomes father, his
life is no longer his own. There principles as
old as the bills which should guide him, and when
he forgets these principles, tragedies sometimes oc

SOCIALISM AND COLLEGES

The degree to which Socialism has penetrated
American colleges and universities, both those en-
dowed and those maintained by public funds furn-
ished by taxpayers, is matter of more or less
keen discussion.
The line. of demarcation between instruction as
to various forms and theories of government by a
teacher and effort to subordinate the fundamen-
tai principles of the American government to his
own personal views however conflicting with them,
should not be difficult to observe, though the in
dcations are that there is no little confusion at
this point.
As to one proposition relating to this matter
there can scarcely be any doubt, and that is a
teacher who seeks to inculcate in the minds of his
pupils doctrines that spbyersiye of American in
situations has rightful place on the faculty of
any school, public or private.-Nashville Banner

The present federal debt is twenty eight billion,
and the probability is that when we get through
the next fiscal year it will be thirty-four billion
And then the state and local governments owe
something hike twenty billion, Which is not diff

But the pertinent thing about all this is that it
means an average debt of 1885 for each and every
