This should be a happy nation of a happy people, i Os course w e have our ups and downs and some sorrows but after all we! have it better than any country on the globe and that's about all we (an ask. And now our Jaw makers at Washington and members of Mr. Harding's administration are seriously considering what can be done to aid Europe and create a substantial foreign market. This is the right step and the crime of it is that four or five years have been wasted before the attempt is made to do it. With the I farmer's back to the wall fighting for his very existance it is certainly time to act. Merchants report the best business , since 1920 and several announce a larger holiday total than any time in history, a splendid sign of returning prosperity so long just around the corner. If some definite steps are taken to improve conditiffiis in other countries of the world so as to pro-, vide a real market for our surplus, the next ten years will be the greatest ever known for there is much building to do and the people are anxious to step out-rarin’ to go, if] you will excuse the slang.

cause The campaign is for the purpose of raising money with which to give a Christmas to a couple of hundred children. Some of them need clothing, some shoes, some toys, some food. All you have to do is to give u little money. The members of the Delta Theta Tau sorority will do the rest—all the buying and delivering and will do their best to make the money go as far as possible. The ladies will surprise you with the information they have of the needy who will not have a happy Christmas unless provided outside the family. You have another day to help bring i he fund up to $250 which is the hope of those working for the success of the cause. Hardly any two people can be found in any one crowd who agree as to the advisability or justice of, placing a tax on gasoline by the state legislature. If the tax will take the place of other money now paid by di-I tect taxation'll may be all right, but If Governor McCray is asking this much additional to be placed in the general fund, that he might have money to pay debts of all character., and especially to continue his riot of I expense on his prison de luxe at Pen- : dleton, then the people will oppose it' to the last drop of hat If the] | money should be paid into the road I fund, and returned to the county w here it was paid in, then the tax; might not be so bad. Surely, maI chines that use the road should pay, ■ to keep them up, but they should not! be taxed to build prisons or pay the bills that Governor McCray and his, men have already contracted. —Bluffton Banner. The weak have their power. Any-| ne has power over another who can' i in that other one cause any sort of I ! pain. The strong man has power over the weak, because he can pun-i ish him with blows- But the weak man has power over the strong, because he can work upon his pity. The crying baby has power over its] mother, and can make her do its will | amply by being a nuisance. The beg-1 gar has power over the rich by geting in his way and exposing his ores. Many a little woman rules 1 her big husband by her tears and complaints. Up in Maine the other; lay a Mrs. Louis C. Britton, of Skowhegan. when her husband brought suit for divorce, went on a hunger strike and declared that until her wayward spouse returned to her his affection she would not eat. She | also tried to freeze herself to death by refusing to make a fire. There ' ,-re all sorts of ways to govern people, and not the least effective is i government by nuisance.—Washing-' j ton Herald.
