MORAL AWAKENING NECESSARY FOR COMMUNITY

Every force for good, no matter whether it be individual or community, knows the necessity of locking the barn door before the -horse gets away. This is true in every place where human beings are gathered together. Dispite admonitory counsel, communities if left to themselves without 't he constant use of the publicity gad, will be content to drift and- aa they drift evil organizes and gains In power. The Wilkes-Barre Record puts it plain and

pertinently when it says that scores of annually for the relief of poverty, both charity. Yet there is a sum total of

Only those on the inside know its full extent. The charity relief work needs systematizing. It does not reach the places where it is most needed.

Everywhere weak women, bereft of their physical strength to keep their and accident bring temporary distress by the public.

In a moral way there is opportunity for reform beyond the dreams of the average person. The machinery of justice ia running overtime dealing with the derelicts who have been made degenerate by preventable evils. We deal with the drunkard who commits crime In the heat of passion. We do not go to the root of the trouble and deal with the thing that is primarily responsible for crime. The charity organizations take under their care scores of girls who have fallen into bad ways. We give little, attention to the glittering enticements that cause them to take the first false step. We try to regulate divorce. We give little heed to the cause of divorce the hasty marriage, the double standard of morals that looks upon the licentiousness of the men with indifference and encourages him to violate his vows of fidelity. We send boys and girls to reform institutions. We do very little to hold-to account the parents whp encourage them to steal and lead vicious lives. These are great problems. Every community must solve them by itself. We have laws galore, but so long as they remain a dead letter by reason of public indifference we have only ourselves to blame. When the moral forces pitch in and tackle such conditions in earnest the community will be Immeasurably benefited. ,

ACTION INVOLVES STUDY AND EFFORT. To complain is easier than to act. The history of nations is full of evidence that men are willing to suffer for centuries what could be remedied by the fixed resolution and united action of a single day. Magna Charta, the original instru ment of British liberty, was needed for centuries before it came and it came on the day and hour that King John realized that the assembled majority meant business. This great action and others like it ,such as the French Revolution and the Struggle for American Independence, meant war. They were not settled in a minute. In 1776 the United States adopted a plan to enable a resolute people to settle any wrong, no matter how deep-seated, in a single day, and without the shedding of a drop of blood. In 1830 Daniel Webster proclaimed the national unity that was needed t6 mated this plan effective. and In 1861 a cruel Civil War put an end, perhaps forever, to any organized resistance to this plan. But the plan Itself is not yet effective, and will never be until the people use the power they have. We have, as before, complaint without action. And the reason is that It is easier to complain than to act. The ultimate remedy for wrongs Is in the hands of the people but the situation' itself Is no whit changed, because the people do not use It; and all indications are that men will continue to suffer for centuries just as they did before the present peaceable remedy existed. The absurdity of a strike, with its trial of horror and starvation, is never more apparent than at the primaries and on election day. We have the peaceable remedy at hand, but not the action. Men find it easier to starve for three months than to study? and vote accordingly. Education is the Scylla and Charybdis, the bar sinister, the Polyphemus of the cave of suffering. - Action and especially the united action of a large class of people Is tbe most difficult of human accomplishments, because It Is easier to complain than to act. DISREGARDING ADVICE. The newspapers are making a great deal of splash about a wife who arrested her husband whom she found with another woman at Coney Island. We fail to Bee why anything should 'be brought up against Coney Island however because of It. The same thing might have happened in a church. It is not probable, but It Is possible. It merely shows the utter disregard of the sage advice, "if you can't be good be careful." CAN'T PLEASE ALL. It la hard to please everybody. To make it stronger we Insist that it is hard to please anybody. Recently there appeared in these columns the following editorial: Taking up the ever present suffragette question, woman becomes more difficult to understand every day. Said one to a Chattanooga (Tenn.) . Times reporter as she peered out through the bars: "It was not my intention to kill him. . 1 merely tried to bluff him to keep him from killing me. He was so dear, and I hope people will not think hard of me for what I have done. He, my loved one, from me Is gone. A vacant place in my i heart and home ia left that can

thousands of dollars are contributed

in the way of taxation and by private distress that is beyond comprehension. their support, are struggling against little ones from starvation. Sickness that in many Instances goes unheeded . never be filled but In the land eternal I shall some day see him face to face, there where there is no difficulty or pain." A Chicago man read the account of the incident ad he doesn't like It a little bit. Of course, the Chatta nooga newspaper man who related the story will be pained to bear this. But the Chicago man goes on to say Ina letter to this paper: "In a Chicago Jail languishes a married man who spends his time drawing the Hps of a woman whose husband he murdered and he, like yourself, is a voter. If . the fool-killer could reach, all those needing his services, pray where would the individual be who is capable of advancing such a brilliant argument as that contained in the enclosed clipping from your valuable paper? ' Truly is consistency a Jewel as unpossessed by some men as some women, which proves that intelligence is not governed by sex." MAY CHECK JAPS' PLANS. California legislators have their eyes on- plans hJiKthe.Japanec are said to fj farming In an effort to nullify the new "alien" land law which becomes effectlva riext week, and will probably take steps to circumvent the Japanese at the next session of legislature. They are combining their farm laiid units and ncoi poratlng stock companies In the belief that the stock In the corporation? upon their death may be transferred to heirs. The maximum life granted to a domestic corporation under the California law is fifty; years... AM of the ;Jh.paneB corporations that have been ,organlied since the alien bill wa? passed are formed for the limit. The California law also provides that a corporation is privileged to re-Incorporate on the expiration of its charter. CAME OUT IN THE WASH. It occurs that an apology is due Mr. Colby, of Llbertyvllle, 111., by pretty nearly the entire press of the .country and probably a good part of lit beyond seas. j Mr. Colby, It should he said right here, has not demanded any apology. Some men achieve apologies, some have them thrust upon 'em. It Is to be regretted we have not the front name of Mr. Colby, but he Is .the husband of Mrs. Clara F Colby, of Llbertyvllle, the first worn an to cast a ballot under the new suffrage act, about two weeks ago, While Mrs.' Colby was thus engaged Mr. Colby, it was stated, aided and abetted the act by remaining at home and laboring at the tub over the family washing. We ran a photograph of Mr. Colby immediately at the conclusion of his job. He Is standing by the tub and the results of his labor are on the line flapping in the breeze. Careful Inspection of the picture shows the necessity for apology. Mr. Colby did not do the family washing. He only washed his own duds. We apologize. SIGNS OF DECAY. Definite statements from Washington were published yesterday which go to prove that the republic is approaching its long predicted fall: "Ope Tuesday morning the President walked from the White House to his office dressed in a pair of white canvas shoes with fiat rubber soles, white duck trousers, a white crash coat, white shirt, white tie and a white straw hat. The next day three of the Cabinet officers, Secre-

tary of State Bryan, Secretary of the Navy" Daniels and Secretary of War Garrison, appeared In white or light brown, almost white." , Every professional colorlst knows that it Is only one brief step from white to purple. As for the Postmaster General, he appears to be already taking the step: "He bought three or four suits of blue and white striped seersucker." Seersucker! Well, well! What true Jeffersonian could have believed that he would live to see the day when a Cabinet officer arrayed himself in the alternate smooth and puckered stripes of Oriental seersucker? Next we know the great Commoner himself will appear in lavender hose. We make these notes for the future Gibbon when he composes the Rise and Fall of the Washington Empire. New York Sun. WARNING ENOUGH. A man who meets another man's wife at the edge of town and takes her trips in an automobile should never deceive himself by thinking that he is fooling: the public or that any person In the community thinks that he is doing- anythlna smart or making any one envious. Such conduct only disgraces and debauches a man beyond the possibility of respect from any source. Even the unwise should take a hint when rapped over the head with a club. Rensselaer Republican. And if the couple doesn't take this hint, ye, ed, will no doubt print their names and run a double-col. cut of the clandestine meeting on the edge of town. INTERUSBANS AND FREIGHT. Mr. Flower, who Is writing in the Record-Herald on the high cost of living, says that a great saving would result to farmers and consumers If the interurban lines paid more attention to the freight business. This Is Just what the Gary and Interurban system Is doing. General Manager Miller, a former railway official, Is one of the few interurban executives who have rocogniied the freight value to the kind of transportation line of which he is the head. The interurban line is more In touch with the farmer and it should afford cheap transportation of his goods to the city market. When this is done the townsman is able to buy at lower prices; and the farmer sells more of his produce. Until now very few Interurban lines have recognized what opportunities there are In gleaning profits from freight carriage. The Gary and Southern is also preparing to do a profitable freight business. LISTEN TO THE BAND. When a squadron of United States warships went around the world the men behind Uncle Sam's guns were nowhere more warmly welcomed 'than in Australia. Some genius In honor of the visitors wrote a song entitled "We've a Great Big Brother In America!" which became Immensely popular and greatly assisted in the display of good feeling.

THE EDITOR AND THE GOAT. The average editor who leads In moral reform usually finds himself the "goat" sooner or later. The edi tor Is not to be blamed, but the little pinched up specimens of so-called re formers who refuse to stand at his back when, the enemy is in the saddle are to be censured and It Is this kind of cattle that causes many an editor to be hesitating and skeptical, says the Chesterton Tribune.
