The agricultural states are back
ward about endorsing the child Ia
Dor bill. Most people feel that while
work in factories is not advisable
for children, work on the farm is
8 good thing for the best develop
ment Of growing boy and girl. A
check up Of many of the men who
hold important positions shows that
the younger years of most Of them
were spent on the farm. The farm
furnishes the best school for youth
to be found anywhere. The farm
boy lives in the open, close to ma
ture. Early in life he assumes re-
sponsibilities, he has chores to do,
cows to milk, horses and stock to
feed, a field to pillow or cultivate, a
task to do. The discipline that
comes from having task to do
every day at a given time, puts into
the life of the farm youth those
qualities that fit him later to as
sumo larger responsibilities.

A writer in one of the national
magazines propounds the idea of
limiting the relief expenditures by
refusing to issue single cent in
cash. Make every relief contribution
by non-transferable order only.
Thus person who cares to accept
relief would be deprived of money
with which to buy newspaper,
package of gum, permanent waves,
radios or to play the slot machines.
Beer, wine and hard liquor would of
course be out. Hardships- yes, but
II able bodied people refuse to work
why shouldn't they have hardships?
The reason that such q practice has
not been put into effect before this
is, Of course, political.

Kennewick hopes to be host to
most OF the people in this section
OF the state during the big three-day
Fourth Of July celebration. Not
making any claims to being a city,
Kennewick on the contrary, claims
to be q friendly farmers town. Bus
inessmen are interested in farm
problems, carry farmers merchan-
disc, put on no city airs, but really
talk the farmers language. The
friendly spirit exhibited not alone
on celebration days, but all through
the year is sincere and wideflung.

Reports show that banks in all
sections Of the country are filled
with money. Many report record
deposits. At the same time business
is not yet back to normal, business
would be better If there was less
money in the banks and more cir
culating in the channels Of business.
It is the activity Of money, the fire.
quent exchange of money and pro-
ducts that makes business good. The
fact that the money Of the country
is piled up in the banks simply
shows that business is not active.

Kennewick has always been sing
ularly free from the encroachment
of foreigners and colored people.
This has been one Of the many
advantages which this section has
held out to prospective settlers. We
are rather proud Of this fact, and
in a measure are glad that the race
incident here occurred last week.
OF course we are agreed that col
ored people foreigners, too, for
that matter have just as much
right to live in this country as we
have, but we do object to having
them come near us to make their
homes. We feel that we have the
right to deny them the privilege, for
instance, of living right next door
to us.
We don't care to have our children
grow up with colored neighbors, or
undesirable aliens. We don't care
to mix with them in a social or bus
mess way and we'd rather they
found some other place to live.
AS long as these undesirables be-
have themselves we cannot take le-
gal steps to have them removed, but
we can and should make them feel
that they are not wanted in our
community and that there are
plenty Of other places where there Is
not this objection.
The colored man who worked on
the school house was behaving him
self; he was doing his job and mind

was just as good as any Of the rest
of us, but still we think 1t best that
he make his home in some other 10
cality. We are glad that he was
told that he was not wanted here.

The tendency in school these days
Is to develop originality In the stu
dent rather than slavish adherence
to precedent. It is all right to de-

branches without much thought as

INDEPENDENCE DAY
1886

Independence now-and indie
pendence forever"
To this ringing slogan America
celebrates again the anniversary OF
her glorious birth-honoring the
famous Declaration which ranks,
with our Constitution, among the
noblest documents in history.
What was that Independence, that
Freedom, to which our Fathers dedi-
Gated themselves in the historic
document now famous throughout
the world? Clearly the Declaration
itself states the answer:
They sought for every man Ger
tain unalienable rights r.. among
them life, Liberty and the Pursuit
of Happiness"
They protested against a "long
train of abuses and usurpations" OF
those rights.
They condemned all activities sal
tering fundamentally the forms OF
our government"
They denounced:
The efforts of a ruler to punish
representative legislatures "for OPP
posing with manly firmness his in
vasions on the rights of the people"
The establishment of an abso-
lutte tyranny over these States"
A government that erected a
multitude of new offices and sent
hither swarms of officers to harass
our people and eat out their sub
stance"
A system that made the people
subject to a jurisdiction foreign to
our Constitution, and unacknowl-
edge by our laws"
These are few of the basic prirl-
ciples for which the Signers unhesi-
tatingly pledged their Lives. their
Fortunes and their Sacred Honor on
that historic July fourth of 160 years
ago.
They are principles to which
America pledges herself anew on
each occurrence Of that historic
date.
They are principles which we must
continue to guard If the Liberty
won by our Fathers is to endure.
independence Day is far more
than national celebration. 1t re-
mains q Day Of Rededication to
that Spirit Of Liberty which has
made America the land OF freedom
and Of opportunity for all.

Luthern Synod
Begins w ork
In A fric q

New York City-(CNS)-The
Lutheran Missouri Synod, one of
the largest Lutheran bodies in
America, with a membership of
l,46O,052 in the Middle West, will
inaugurate its first missionary
work in Africa when Professor
Henry Nau, president of Emmanuel
Lutheran College, and Mrs. Nau
sail Thursday on the Bremen as
the first Lutheran missionaries to
Nigeria, in West Africa.
Although the synod has been
carrying on extensive missionary
activities in Asia, Australia, Iceland
and North and South America for
more than seventy-tive years, no
work has been done in Africa as
yet, it was learned at the organi-
cations Eastern office, at 1873
Broadway.
DR.. Nau's undertaking is the re-
suit of a request from the people
of Nigeria. DR.. Nau, in company
with two others from the synod,
sailed to Africa and made a sur
vey of the field in response to a
petition from Nigeria asking the
Synodical Conference of Lutheran
Synods to begin mission work
there.

REV. HANCOCK
TO SPEAK AT
LUNCHEON

Robert r. Moore, finger print
expert of Wayne County, address
ed the Luncheon Club of the
Booker T. Washington Trade AS
ISOLATION Wednesday, February
26th on the subject of finger
printing.
Mr., Moore's address was very
interesting and informative. For,
TO most people, finger pringting is
usually associated with detection
Of crime. But those present learn
ed from this address that finger
printing is used for various 9TH
er purposes than identification for
crime which is a very important
factor when one realizes that
America spends more than 3d.
900, 100000 per year in crime
Finger printing, the speaker
stated, removes dangerous and
diseased characters from society,
thereby protecting wives and chill
dren of criminals from disease.
Other benefits of finger printing
were speedy convictions, assists
benefciaries in collecting claims
from the government, insurance
companies, etc, lightens tax bur
den and helps relatives or friends
in locating lost ones of which
there are 100000 in the U. S. A.
annually.
r. MMoore offered the services
of his department to the Lunch
con Club and ended his address
by saying that the Universe was
no larger than a finger print.
The intense interest was shown
by the large number of questions
asked the speaker following his
address.
Rev. S. NJ Hancock, pastor OF
Bethlehem Temple will be the
guest speaker Wednesday, March
18th. Rev. Hancock will speak on
Keeping a church out of the
red" and every business and pro-
fessional man is invited to hear
this address.
