Friday, May 10. 1929 The League and The Child The League of Nations has recently defined the rights of a child This is the first time that nations at large have recognized the child. Five things (fctnanded by the league declaration are. First, the child must be given the menns requi site for its normal development, both materially and spiritually. . , Second, the child that is hungry must fed; the child that is sick must be hel|>ed; the delinquent child must be reclaimed; and the orphan and waif must be sheltered and succored. Third, the child must be the first to receive relief in times of distress. Fourth, the child must be put in a position to earn a livelihood and must be protected against every form of exploitation. , •" Fifth, the child must be brought up ih the con sciousness that its talents must be developed to the service of its fellowmen If the League of Nations never does another thing than to stand up foy this declaration, commonly known as "The Declaration of (Jeneva," it will IK worth far more than the cost .While the League of Nations was principally for all the people, if it does nothing more than protect tin children, it will l>e a godsend. Most of the principles outlined are already main tained fairly well in this country, especially so with reference to material things We have under govern mental direction every conceivable institution for the material care and development of the c hild. We feed il, we nurse it, we educate it, we shelter it, we re lieve it when in distress, we try to teach it how to make a living and even to make money. Doubtless we are doing more along these lines than any coun try on earth. On the other hand, we are running slow on the spiritual side of life, and every inch of spiritual culture we advance has to be done at a great disadvantage. The task is so hard that the material Safety First is more than being Careful Veteran Virginia truckman gives personal testimony Cites need of'good high-quality oil \.* » - G. Mark Davidson of l.exington, Va., is some thing more than a veteran truckman and a substantial citizen of his community. He uses his truck as a road testing laboratory for Various kinds of lubricating oils. Profits in Good Oil Trucking is a keenly competitive business and the profits from a single trip may be the dif ference l>etween using cheap oil or a good oil. The difference between no repairs and a day to a week of overhauling the motor. Mr. Davidson, realizing this, fact, proceeded to find out for himself, in the most intelligent fashion, just which oils do stand up on the long, hard pulls in the Virginia hills, and which oils cannot stand the guff of hill-climb ing, long distance heavy hauling. Mr. David son wanted only the best. ' After trying a wide variety of different motor oils, Mr. Davidson finally narrowed his choice ..down to three brands: "Standard," and two others made by well-known companies. There seemed to be little or no choice as far as the specifications of the oils went. A road test*" alone would show, up the difference, and this Mr. Davidson proceeded to make. PUBLI9HKD IVMY TUttDAY >wo MIDAY things in life arc running a long way ahead of the spiritual culture. Men are fighting and discouraging those who attempt to give a spiritual uplift and a better outlook .to tho»«e who are entering the tasks of life. \ We do not know just what is meant in the Geneva covenant-when it says a child must be given the means | requisite for its spiritual development. In our own I county not a penny is spent for such a service, and the j entire burden of such pulture is carried on by a very small (xrientage of the people. Fiften per cent of the j people carry 95 per cent of the burden. Schools for | religious training are having hard struggles to live ! because the state is gathering much tax to pay for schools that are able to give higher literary courses j than must church schools. Possibly one of the reasons why so much crime is being committed by young white people these days is ! because the State is running too fast in material j things, education and others, for the church. The youth todav seem to get out rather far from | the base of the spiritual lights to reach them. But ; what are we to Go? We can t teach the Bible in the «J public places of the state. It is unlawful to teach Bftle in -chool because people differ on it. Yet any j kind of science, right or wrong, goes into the public J schools in many cases, much of which would do away j with all tjiiritual culture for scientific bigotry. Let the I-eague of Nations io more for the spirit • ual side, and the war problems will lie properly set i tied. What the Tax List Shows Martin ( ounty lax sales this year are 73 more than ; last year, with a total of 366 this. .year. This an indication of the financial struggle that many |K*ople are facing. lt"L. indeed a sad thing to see a large list of taxpayers who would willingly and gladly pay their taxes if they were just able. Some claim that taxes are too high, yet taxes are vi'ry much lower than our standard of living, which is now the, principal trouble with the entire country. 'l"he volume of expenditures are too heavy for the vol ume of Willi Condition prevailing, peo p.e are moving along on the very border line of fail j lire, ami the lea>t thing that Comes up to disturb our ' Iwsine s arrangements renders us unable to meet our | obligations. What will tie th.' final outcome of the present con ditions..' Will we lay down our property, or will we be willing to change our entire habits of living? Whatever may In our wishes, we must admit that we, as'a people, must raise our income or lower our ex|>enditures, or b- a bankrupt people, ' > . " " ~ ——————— ————— Onr-Man Where He Ought To Be It looks to us like loin Hetlin is wrong at least j fur once when he says prison authorities are show ing favoritism by not letting newspaper men and photographers visit Harry I\ Sinclair in his prison cell We differ from the Senator and feel that they should be kept away and let old Sinclair stick to his vyork. It will probably sink dee|M*r in (he old crim inal's hea-t if the public will leave him unnoticed. Give him time and he may yet develop a conscience. One of the troubles with the public—newspapers not excepted is the fact that they go "batty" over any sensation like putiingjhe multimillionaire in jail, when he should only get the same consideration as any j other American gets. The government is doing about the right thing— I it is feeding him 011 25 1-2 cents a day. ■ MjPmJ I ■NKf jflr H G. Mark Dovldton Tuis Motor Oils Read his own storyj "On a recent 600-mile trip I used five quarts of a competitor's oil. Later with another oil I used three quarts. Then I decided to drain my oil and fill up with 'Standard' Motor Oil Heavy, and 'Standard' Gasoline. On the same trip under the same running conditions, I used only one quart of oil. That proved to me the superior quality of 'Standard' Motor Oil. I do not hesitate to tell my friends that it is the htst oil I have ever used." > Convinced by Oilitr Oil Like millions of other motorists > Mr. David son discovered that "Standard" Motor Oil is that o-i-l-i-e-r oil. Especially processed from choice crudes, and guaranteed to stand up and everlastingly fight friction. Seala in compress ion too. Allows the motor to utilize more combustion power and show greater mileage po* gasoline gallon. It's the original quality oil at no higher price. Insist upon "Standard. On sale everywhere you see the "Standard" Motor Oil sign.
