Foreign Representatives Carpenter & Company. 122 Michigan Avenue, Chicago Fifth Avenue Bldg., New York City N. Y. Life Building, Kansas City, Mo AMERICAS IDEALISM— President Coolidge in his first official speech since becoming the country's 'chief executive, addressing the American Red Cross, made a profound impression on the millions of Americans who love the ideals for which America stands. He, in urging practical idealism, said: “It is this kind of practical idealism that is represented in the history of our country, a deep faith in spiritual things, tempered by a hard common sense adapted to the needs of this world. It has been illustrated in the character of the men who planted colonies in the wilderness, raised up great states around the church and t schoolhouse, who bought their independence with their blood and cast out slavery by the sacrifice of their bravest sons; who offered their lives to give more freedom to oppressed i>eoples, and who went to the rescue of Europe with their treasure and their men and when their own liberty and the liberty of the world was in peril, but, when the victory was secure, retired from the field unincumbered by spoils, indepeudnet, unattached and unbought, still continuing to contribute lavishly to the relief of the stricken and destitute of the old world; and who but recently, being asked for $5,000,000, immediately gave about twice that amount for the afflicted people of Japan.” Commenting on his speech the Indianapolis News sums up his remarks as follows: “President Coolidge’s ideas of why the nation participated in the world war are interesting. Many statesmen and politicians have attempted to explain this. There may be differences as to what constitutes a secure victory, such as President Coolidge says resulted from the war in Europe. Certain it is that few of the European nations now seem secure. The President did not intimate how far the United States should go in contributing to the security of the world or in what way it should make its contribution. The appeal of the President for practical idealism is well put. He counts upon the individual and, finally, upon collections of individuals, to do right because of conscience. This is the motive that moves governments when a crisis comes or when great suffering must be relieved. One trouble is that the crisis must be overwhelming before individual consciences, acting collectively, go to the rescue and do what obviously should have been done before death, suffering and unholy mischief occur.” it may not be nice to talk about, but the act is worse than the mention of it—DON’T SPIT ON THE SIDEWALKS AND IN PUBLIC PLACES. It Beems that some people do not care about filth and no matter what they want to get out of their old mouths, out on the sidewalk it goes. Thousands of germs are thus placed in the patnway of the public. Men will stand at a corner or in front of a building and no matter if they have one side of their mouth filled with tobacco and wan* to get rid of the

overflow the sidewalk Is the receptacle for it. Some instances of the thoughtlessness of persons who persist in committing this offense are too dirty and nauseating to talk about, r. Decent people will not do it and for r ’ those who persist, arrest is the proper r, means of stopping them. It is a loathsome, disgusting, filthy habit.

" Marion, Ohio, home town of fors 0 mer President Harding, now has but 8 one daily newspaper. The new own--0 5, ers of the Star, the president's paper U and the Tribune, which were recentI ly consolidated, have suspended pub- ■ lication of the Tribune and hereafter the people of Marion and community will be served by only one paper, the Star. In giving their reasons for suspending the Tribune the owners say, “The modern requirements of a i newspaper are too severe, as a thorough trial and wide experience in Marion has demonstrated, to permit two complete representative and independent newspapers.” Marion is , a city of more than 30,000 population. The question among the Washington politicians is “who is responsible for the increased'price of hard coal?” In Massachusetts and the New England states, Governor Pinchot is being blamed for allowing the increase to the miners, while in Pennsylvania the Pinchot-for-President boosters are showing how the increase benefits the people of the Keystone state. In the middle-west the people are more concerned about the increased price and know that they will have to pay it. Wonder if they are going to allow reporters and political writers in that meeting next Monday at Indianapolis, between Governor McCray and the Republican state committee? My, what “copy” they could write. Germany will not further resist the invasion of the French in the Ruhr district, leaving the army do as it pleases. France has been inconsistent in her demands, it appears and sooner or later sentiment will react. Governor Jack Walton, of Okla-i homa. has launched his own news-’ paper and now his real troubles will begin. o Forgive Us Our Trespasses Father, how great the debt we owe! Redeemed by love divine. And mercies thou doest bestow, The cross salvation’s sign. Tis by thy goodness mortals live, Our needs daily supplied; Unworthy, we, yet thou doest give. And no one is denied. Though of’t mankind hath grieved thee much Thy love and mercy spurned; Thou givest life to even such,Though death the wages earned. Father forgive our many,sins; Be patient with us still: They sacrifice, devotion wins, Beholding Calvary's hill. « .• Bluffton Street Fair Drawing Large Crowds With a monster first night crowd in attendance, the Bluffton Free .Street Fair and Wells County Agricultural Exhibit opened auspiciously Tuesday night.
