Religious Liberty We would like to know just how far religious liberty and the principles of democracy have fallen below the Jefferson ideals. When Thomas Jefferson proclaimed the principles of religious liberty a century and a half ago, he evi dently drd not apprehend that Christianity would have to stand and be stabbed in the back by every sin, ism and schism of the world. It must be worse than Mr. Jefferson thought it would Ik\ In the matter of democracy, Jefferson certainly must have proclaimed it as a proper method by which •honest principles of government might be administer- all-classes of jwople atTkrr — Mr Jefferson was right, but how ln>th of. these ideals have been abused. • ' " * ' J What would Jefferson have said had he looked down on Washington from the top of the monument on his 187 th birthday on Sunday Cooperation in Planting and Selling - It still looks- Tike the country is going to plant too much cotton,, so much that with a normal yield, the price will IK- too low for any profit The same danger confronted the tobacco farmers; they planted more seed beds than ever before, but the cold weather and insects have thinned them out until there js a probability of a decrease of twenty-five per cent or more in the crop. If the decrease is uniform, it will mean mornnoney for less work and expense. The farmers need to cooperate in planting as well as in selling their crops. «0 "• —' /.X • . ■' ," r 9 ■ ■ Liquor Control in Canada Liquor control in Canada, according to the Toronto Gltnr, one of the leading papers in the Dominion of Canada, under the present regulations in that country is a failure, while, in this country, we are told what a howling success it has proven to the country. * The paper says that liquor consumption has doubled in two years there, and that with the number of au tomobiles doubled, the number of drunken drivers has been multiplied ten times and thiCdeaths caused by drunken drivers have increased enormously. Continuing, the paper stated that the small boot leggers have multiplied and that government control has proved of no benefit to young people. Every liquor advocate has some good plan to handle the curse, but not cne of them has or ever will prove THE ICE BOX! Keeps some things very well, but it is not a good depository for greenbacks, so August Petlau, of Chicago has learned. He recently reported to po lice that the morning after he placed $2,000 in his ice box for safe keeping, both his money and his boarder disappeared. Similar stories are constantly appearing in the papers. There are people who use as home made banks their mattresses, stoves, shoes, gun barrels, bed posts. "People, who act as their own bankers, often regret their folly." They invite theft, risk fire, and lose the earning power of their money. Keep your dollars safe and busy in a savings account and your securities in a Safe Deposit Box. This is a' good place for both services.

Ljqtior is an outlaw and no man cm take it on bis bosom or in hit stomach and be safe. Just why liquor has frtends is a mystery. ' "Look Behind You" t, The Kiwanis Magazine recently carried an editorial entitled, "Look Behind You." Of course, it can't mean for one to look behind all the time. However, past ex perience is our only guide for the future and we, necs sarily should look back and see what kjnd of fruit is growing on the trees we have planted. If we have gone through crooked and dangerous paths, some body's boy or girl is walking in our track* and may fall by the way side if he is not as strong as we. The man or woman who just wanders aimlessly ■ through life is liable to cause someone else to get lost. The reason the surveyor takes a back sight is for the purpose of running a straighter line ahead. The same rule should be followed in the life of every per son—look back and straighten the road ahead. Crime Crime in Martin county continues at such a rate that the name "Little Chicago" is applicable to this generally peaceful and brother-loving section. Taking into consideration Chicago's millions and Martin county's 25,000 people, the Illinois city is to be class ed as a land of peace and quiet. On Sunday, a day for rest and worship, a murder and a second serious shooting went down in the county's records to bring rebuke upon the thousands of peaceful, law abiding citizens and the criminals and law violators alike. Indifference to and little respect for the laws upon the part of the public are attributable to a marked ex tent for present-day crime. Millions of dollars are be ing spent annually to teach us how to make a living. Apparently righteousness and peaceful living are be ing sacrificed that more worldly things might be push ed to the front. The dignity of the court, once referred to as a high place for justice, is dwindling;-the ideals now set up by many of the supposedly leaders are proving detrimental and degrading the best interests of society ; honesty is being sneered at to an alarming degree in the midst of the youth, the cunning and sly ways being upheld as a standard to be attained. Until we return to those principle#, promoting right eousness, honesty and decent standards, crime and trouble can well be expected. Whisky Liquor is said to have figured greatly in a murder here last Sunday night. The fact that it did is to be deplored. The whisky addicts immediately point out prohibition as a failure, - forgetting to mention the danger resulting from the liquid poison. If liquor was the indirect cause pf the murder, why not con demn liquor and not criticise the method advanced for its removal? The loss of life, damage to society are to be ignored, the wets are saying when they plead for liquor. r And while loss of life and damage to property are reported here and there, tragedy in the main lurks be hind the scenes ready to make its leap into a field cultivated by indifference and questionable examples and practices. "Dollar-Down Selling" The Yankee's 'Dollar Down" selling scheme has been carried to Australia, the Philippines, some of the 'British colonies and Japan, many of the people in those place biting strongly except those in Japan. The Japanese people apparently think too much of their credit to take chances on the installment plan. The Japs probably have a record of the great number of people in America who have gone busted on the dallsr-down payment plan. At any rate they refuse to accept the system.
