_ LEST WE FORGET
Four hundred and forty-two
years ago Cristobal Colon, whose
name we Anglicize into Christopher
Columbus, set out from Palos to
find a new, short route to India.
As someone wrote: "He did not
know where he was going, he did
not know where he was when he ar
rived, and he did not know where
U/, U/wJ kflfln u’lapn Vip onf Hark.”
He believed that he had found the
eastern coast of Asia. Instead, he
had found a new world, undreamed
of by all but a few adventurous
dreamers like himself.
To finance his voyage, Columbus
appealed to the Queen, of Spain :n
the name of her religion. Isablla
was not interested in exploration,
but she was interested in the salva
tion of human souls. To spread
the Gospel of Christ among the
heathen she sold her jewels and aid
ed Columbus to venture forth from
Palos on his perilous quest. And
the first act of the discoverer on
landing was to raise the Cross upon
the island sands and kneel with hi?
whole company in prayer.
The hordes of adventurers that
followed Columbus to the Ness
World thought more of gold anc
silver than of religion. Yet, hcr<
and there, as centuries went on, lit
tle groups of men and women whos<
first care was for their souls rachei
than for material things, settled or
the shores of the land Columbu
had found. And it is from thos?
little groups that our nation derives
That, it seems to us,* is the im
portant thing to remember on Oct
ober 12, Columbus Day. It wa
liberty which Woodrow Wilsoi
termed a spiritual conception. Tha
they found, also, material wealtl
far beyond that of the peoples o
any other land, was a pleasing bu
accidental result of their migration
This, it seems to us, is good tim
to ponder whether we have so fa
departed from the spirit of ou
forebears that we are willing to sac
rifice liberty for material wealth
that we place economic security
ahead of spiritual freedom.
WHAT COUNTS IN
EDUCATION
President James A. Garfield, i
graduate of Williams College, onci
said of Mark Hopkins, the most fa
mous head of that institution o:
which President Garfield’s own sor
later became president:
"All that is needed to make :
college is Mark Hopkins on on<
end of a log and a boy on th<
other.”
All the fine buildings in th<
[world never made an education in
situation. What counts is the teach
ers and their ability to inspire the
young folk who come to learn.
The people of Brown County,
Nebraska, are alive to that truth.
Unable to send their children to a
town high school, several miles a
way; unable to finance the const ac
tion of a modern high , school build
ing; they have built with their
own hands a sod house of the an
cient prairie type to make a place
where teachers and Student can
meet, taxing themselves for the
i • r i 1
salaries ui gwu. lcahius.
Even so did the ancient teachers
and founders of some of the world’s
great universities meet the demand
of eager youth for learning. The
very word "acadmeny” comes from
the grove of Academe where Plato
taught his disciples in the woods.
Abelard, founder of the University
of Paris, began in a rude hut,
around which students pitched their
tents.
There is hope for America so
long as such devotion to education
finds expression in spite of material
difficulties. And we venture that
the boys and girls who attend school
in this Nebraska sod house will
cherish the memory of that Alma
Mater and remember what they
learned there longer than many
whose schooling takes place in
Gothic temples.
WHAT THE RAILROADS
MEAN TO YOU
What the railroads mean to the
American people was well express
ed in a recent statement by A. J.
County of the Pennsylvania sys
tem. The financial condition of
the lines affects the financial
status of about 5 0 per cent of the
population, who either own rail
road securities themselves or own
them indirectily through insurance,
banking, educational and similiar
institutions which are heavy in
vestors in railroad stocks and
I bonds.
| The railroads give employment
|to about 1,000,000 people, whose'
I jobs are imperiled when the lines
Ioperate at a loss. Millions of other
workers, in/mines, factories and all
types of industry are dependent on
railroad purchases for their liveli
hood. In normal times, railroads
are the greatest single purchaser o(
supplies in the nation.
Government itself—local, coun
ty, state and national—is depend
ent on the lines for much of its
tax revenue. Railroad money
paves roads, builds buildings, car
ries on all kinds of government ac
tivities, and educates thousands of
our children.
Every person benefits when rail
roads prosper—every person feels
the ill effects when they are de
pressed. It is an excellent sign
that thousands of industrialists, re

y;
if i Hospitals and doctors have always

® is fast returning to laxatives in liquid
form. Do you know the reasons?
The dose of a liquid laxative can be
measured. The action can thus be
regulated to suit individual need. It
j forms no habit; you need not take a
“double dose” a day or two later.
Nor will a mild liquid laxative irritaU
e the kidneys.
y The right dose of a liquid laxative

there is no discomfort at the time, 01
