|AT SANCTUARY
Metropolitan Baptist
Seeking To Retire

church by the second Sunday in
May, 1899. The membership OF the
church IS divided into tw, great
armies. One Is known as Gideon s
Army, with Mrs. Beatrice Hamil-
ton as general. This is probably
the first time in history that a lady
has received such distinction. The
other IS the Nehemiah Builders. un-
der the generalship OF John Sadler.
Each general has divided his
army into groups OF fifty. with a
captain al the head OF each group.
Each captain is hard a. work with
his respective group in order that
he will be able TO make his initial
report 10 his general IN he third
Sunday IN this month, as 10 the H.

unique and honorable system OF re-
ward has been worked out for those

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
YES, SONNY, YOU'LL PAY

| little, tow-headed, four-year-old fellow from
next door strolled into our garage the other after
noon for discussion of the habits of the birds, a
new fence and the ways of the world in general
| The conversation eventually turned to automo-
biles and our visitor said he going to have one
"a real one-when he grew up.
,.. But they cost lot of money" we explained
ooh, I've got money-a whole $2O' he proudly
exclaimed. Its down in the bank. Some day Pm
gonna have lot more, too" .- &C.,
With mind on President Roosevelt's suggest
ed spending program we couldn't resist from men,
tioning some of the things we had in mind as we
listened to him talk.
Roosevelt" we said, will take of your
money away from you when you grow up"
His blue eyes reflected wonder and dismay. His
money was his money and it was quite incompre-
hensible to him that someone would take it.
Finally he spoke, 81 won't let him." he stoutly
commended cts my money. He can't take 1T.
And thus ended the conversation but not our
reflections. Twenty years from now this boy will
be "a years old and in all probability shifting for
himself out in the world. Perhaps he'll have WIFE,
perhaps child.
He'll be paying, too, despite the strong Objection
he voices now. Out of his salary or income slice
will go toward paying the debts now being accu-
mulated so freely by laundering management OF
our government. Today he has neither voice in
the. program nor understanding of it. But to-
morrow he and countless other four-year-olds OF
today will pay. .. .. o.. .. . .,. ... ...
At the moment score of years seems consld-
cradle, distance in the future. But consider now
the folies of 20 years ago for which we are paying
today. e.. -.... ........ .. .-
When the South Dakota Rural Credits venture
was inaugurated in 1917 and 1918, few persons
thought the four-year-olds of that day would be
paying share of the bill in 1888 but they are.
Not many realized that when our troops were be-
ing sent across the Atlantic in 1918 that in 1888
the reactions of the conflict would still be
of paramount worry. ..... ......
No one of course, knows what the next 20 years
have in store and what conditions will be when our
four-year-old friend of the garage conversation
will be young man of "a in 1858. But the record
of experience indicates that he will be affected in
considerable fashion by what do today. AS long
as we seek only through borrowing and debt to
solve our problems, we are passing our troubles
our worries and our miseries along to the next gen.
eraton-shfting to them difficulty that we should
be sufficiently manly to shoulder ourselves-Sioux

LIQUOR AND VOTING

We would urge all the voters to consider care
fully before voting in the primary, June 4, or any
other election, the matter of Temperance and law
enforcement. Do not vote for any person who has
anything to do with law enforcement until you are
assured that they will enforce the law.
There is too much liquor being sold and drunk
in this county. We dislike to hear of bootleggers
Dragging about controlling elections, candidates
If all the people will vote for clean and lawabidng
officials, we can stop this liquor business. The
last legislature made "big mess" when it enacted
the gallon law. The purpose of that act was to
"break down" enforcement of temperance laws.
If you know of any officer, official, who aids,
helps in any way the liquor traffic, do not vote
for them. They are not worthy of your support.
Before you vote, study carefully the qualifications
of the candidates Find out if they are personally
dry. Find out if they are honest and reliable Vote
for the person who is best qualified. The office was
created to serve the people, not to give somebody
job. -. r., ..... I'll t...
If the good people will cooperate and elect Of
fcers who will enforce the law, we can soon rid
this section of liquor. It's the greatest evil we have
and all the good people should oppose it in every
way Observation-Disclosures News.

TEN THOUSAND MEN WITH TEASPOONS

Several years ago many of our national and state
leaders who should have known better thought 1t
would be possible to solve the unemployment prob
lem by refusing to make use of labor-saving ma
chinery. They put thousands of men back to work
with hand tools, with which most of them were
most inefficient .sa
One of the advocates of old time methods looked
at a modern machine which was digging great
trench at a rapid rate.
How many men with shovels docs that machine
replace" he asked the contractor.
'Why don't you junk that machine and put one
hundred men with shovels into that TRENCH" asked
the bright, modern thinker.
II can think of better one than that" said the
contractor whats the matter with ten thousand
men with teaspoons ?'-Waynesville Mountaineer.
