THE REAL HEROES: — A special writer contributed the following tribute to the missionary, the article appearing in the crowded columns of the “Combined New York Newspapers” during the recent pressmans strike: "I make no bones of saying that the Christian missionary is about the most useful person in the world. He is the one figure that gives me the most hope for the world's future. The motive that actuates him is the only one I find in the multitude of human motives that gives promise of the eventful peaceable organization of tile world. Like everything else that is human missionary enterprises have been complicated with a deal that is fanatical. absurd, impractical, raw, faulty ami wrong. But that is merely to ■ say that they have been managed by j men. But making due allowance for all human frailty, and stripping the motive of the missionary down to its radical impulse, one finds it to be about the most useful bit of seed corn in the soil of humanity. For the missionary is actuated by the desire to help the human race. He alone is eager to serve men simply because they are men. There are plenty of heroes who are ready to fight and die for Americans, or Frenchmen, or Irish, or Bul-

garians, many noble Jews who yish to help Jews, Catholics who want to Im of use to Catholics, Methodists full of charity to Methodists, Whites who uro for the Whites, and Blacks . who are for the Blacks, and all that • sort of thing. But 1 know of but one ’• group who are for human beings Just r because they the human beings. Those are the missionaries. The missionary idea has had about as hard sledding as falls to the lot 8 of most great idaes. It was ridiculj j of most great ideas. It was ridicul- , Every supercilious writer, front ) Dickens down to the man who wrote > thi' latest most cynical and skeptic * play, “Rain” which for a long season J just recently has enjoyed the approval of critics and the hee haws of the mob, has held up to ridicule the missionary idea. All that these smart ones can see in it is an attempt of one set of fanatics to impose their opinions upon another set. But the missionaries as a rule are working away at the same task in which Jesus seemed to be engaged. For they are healing the sick, teaching the ignorant, training the little children, and steadily spreading through the dark places of the earth those fundamental principles-of (decency, humanity, kindness, honesty and courage upon which civilization rests. Best of all, they are planting everywhere the only idea upon which any practical internationalism can ever be founded, the only thought upon which humanity as a whole can ever be organized.” Indications point toward the adoption of the H-M-C route as a state highway in the near future and the co-operation of the citizens of the various counties is now being asked. In this county the matter is in the hands of the Adams County Better ’ Roads Association and at the proper time will be taken care of in a manner we are sure will be satisfactory. This county is entitled to about twen-ty-five miles more of state roads as her share of the 5,000 miles under state supervision and the east and west route would prove a great thing for this territory. It means that many less miles to be maintained by the county and means main highways, always an advantage. Let’s boost when the time comes. Todays news includes two big I .J - — —

These seem to be serious days for the business man who is not watching the corners and thut applies whether his business is funning, manufacturing or retailing. The “booster” supper at the day evening will be a big event and Knights of I’ythias home next Tuesmembers of the Industrial Association and all others who believe in the “get together” idea, should be there. The Auburn boys will be here with a lot of pep and steam and the evening will be a happy one for those who attend. Let’s go. The big drive for Red Cross membership in Decatur will be made Friday. It costs but one little single dollar and it’s one of the greatest causes in the world today. Be ready for the solicitors when they call.
