g Threatening Liberty

How far astray from the fundamentals of government laid down by the founders of our

nation , some people have wandered, is evidenced hy the proponents of the Smith-Towner bill, now pending before congress. iLjTfus bill is the first step in a scheme to de

stroy home rule in education, to substitute fed

eral for parental control over the education of

children. It is of a stripe with countless other

measures pffered or adopted within recent years encouraging the people to shed their responsibilities on to a strong, centralized federal government. 64 "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." The child become grown generally pursues the Kne of thinking taught it in its early years. Is not this the thought in the minds of the more astute of those who are now seeking to seize control of the nation's educational system for the federal government? Would they not train future generations to believe home rule old-fashioned and inefficient and to think that a centralized autocracy was perfection incarnate? 4 , Centralized control of education was the esS sence of Prussianisin. The brains of the German men; and women,.. were trained in childhood to I respect the wishes of the All-Highest, that pitiful j later-day 'figure at; Doom, and to do whatever .' that autocrat and his advisers demanded. Forty f million murdered victims and a disrupted and distracted world are the results of that experii ment in centralized education. I Congress may as well spare the country the f additional tax burden of $100,000,000 the SmithTowner bill involves. The parent citizens of the nation -prefer to shoulder their responsibilities j and continue controlling the education of their I children. The nation will continue to bring forth " citizens instead of subjects, democrats in lieu of imperialists, government by law rather than by men, the rule of reason in place of the tyranny of force.

Get off Our Necks

Back in pre-war years, 1913, 1914 and 1915, the expenses of the federal government were averaging about $750,000,000 annually. Only a low years before Senator Aldrich declared that,

given the authority, he could reduce federal expenses $300,000,000 a year. . The war broke out. -This country finally went in. Expenses jumped overnight into the billions. Part was paid by taxes and the balance met by selling Liberty bonds. Peace has-been with us again for over two years. There has been, however, no let-up in federal expenditures. They are still running in the billions. In 1920 they amounted to $6,766,000,000. Over $4,473,000,000 has been appropriated for 1921. Estimated requirements for 1922 total $4,500,000,000. Before the war annual expenses were $750,000,000. Granting an inflation of one hundred per cent, the ordinary federal expenses nqw should not exceed $1,500,000,000. And if, Senator Aldrich was right ten years ago, then today twice $300,000,000, or $600,000,000, could be pared off the $1,500,000,000 of ordinary expenses. To the ordinary expenses must be added interest due on the Liberty and Victory bond

issues, as well as on the floating deficit indebtedness. This will take approximately $1,000,000,000 annually. Two billion five hundred million dollars then ought to be the total of our government's expenditures for 1922. Instead congress is getting ready to appropriate around $4,506,000,000. The nation cannot go on spending at this appalling rate. The taxation to support it is eating the people out of house and home. Business men and farmers today are taking big losses due to the prevailing depression. So are millions of workers who are out of jobs or only employed part time. These losses and this unemployment are being added to instead of diminished by the taxes required to maintain such extravagance in governmental expenditures. Meantime congress debates on substituting one taxing system for another. The excess profits tax has broken down because it aided in breaking down business and eliminating profits.

Congress proposes to substitute for it a general j sales tax. Congress must realize that not only substitu-j

in federal expenses is imperative. Drunken sailors, proverbially free spenders, are pikers compared to the gentlemen at Washington who are spending the people's money like water. Clean out the chair warmers. Eliminate about a thousand and one useless commissions. Put the army and navy on a sensible basis. Get off the necks of business men, farmers and laborers. Go after real governmental economy. The country then would pull out to financial and industrial success and plentitude in spite of its curse of ignorant and inefficient politicians.

I ; Rippling Rhymes ! By WALT MASON

v I CALIFORNIA WINTER. 'Tis winter in. this pleasant laud, where I have pitched my moving tent, but. goods like snow and slet are banned, and frosts don't, function worth a cent. Yet fogs come drifting lrom the deep and morns and eves are often cold, and shivers through your tystem creep, and ail the air damp with mould. And then you'd like to build a lire, a good old-fashioned roar ing blaze, such as all mortal scouts desire, on cold and clammy winter days. But here, where all the prospect please, and only profiteers are vile, ou'H have to sit around and freeze no man can own a cord wood pile. We buy our wood in little sacks which lrom some distant forests came; with chunks the size of carpet tacks we feed the sad and ghastly flame. Our coal we purchase by the quart, and burning it seems quite a crime: no lire can roar and rip and snort when led a pellet at a time. The. fog enshrouds this winter night, it pierces ill rough me like a sword; my lantern's burning as I write it's all the heat I canafford. But there are countless sunny, days when everything is fine and grand, and then I take my lyre and praise the glories of. this wondrous , land. v

Two Minutes of Optimism By HERMAN '. STiCH

Good Evening By Roy K. Moulton

. THE HARDEST TEST An eminent Herr Doktor in Vienna Has discovered a new process, so they say. Without cosmetics, rubber masks or henna. To make a lady handsome In a day. He guarantees them youth and pristine beauty. He'll banish every wrinkle, freckle, stain; A grandma he will make into a cutle, ; And all of this without the slightest pain. The double chin he chases from the presence. He brings the blush of roses to the cheek, Returns one to the age of adolescence. The age of jazz and shimmy, so to speak. He brings a powerful X-ray to a focus Upon the optic nerve. That does the trick. ! No monkey glands or other hokuspokus. It's great if be can only make it stick. We'd like to have him demonstrate before us, An acid test, the hardest sort to pull; Ta try it on. a Broadway "beauty chorus" And see if he can make It beautiful. Vienna doctor has told "all the women of the world how they may beI come beautiSal, and gosh! how they w ill dread it ! Another example of thrift is furnish; ed by the telephone company, which will not allow its operators to tell you 1 the time of day, as it wastes too much time. Instead of saying "Eight o'clock." fcie operator saves a lot of time by

GIVE OLD DOC TIME A CHANCE I heard a bully bear story the other day. When you come to consider it, is it not a fact that the world's best and most usable wisdom by and by gets itself into a story? And when truth Is embodied in a tale that is, when it is expressed in terms of imagination then indeed it is "made flesh and dwells among us." There was a peasant in Italy who had a trained bear. The bear was pretty good. The peasant boasted a great deal of what this bear could doclaimed it could do pretty nearly everything. Finally the wonderful prowess of the brute reached the ears of the king. The kind asked the peasant to bring the bear before him and exhibit him, and the peasant did so. Tho bear stood on its hind legs, danced a waltz, did a "hand stand," turned a couple of "hand" springs, made goo-goo bear eyes, and after he had completed his cycle of stunts, the peasant said that was all he could do. Said the king: "Well, have him say 'Good morning, your Majesty!" The peasant said: "Why. he can't do that." The king said: "Well, you said he could do anything." "I'm sorry." said the peasant. Said the king: "Take him away, and bring him back in a year, and if he can't say 'Good morning, your Majesty' you'll be hanged!" So, the peasant, terribly upset, went home to his wife, as men will do. He was all "up in the air" couldn't eat, drink, sleep or work. He was worried to death, and of course his wife, who had been growing anxious, asked him what was the matter, and he told her. "Oh, well," said his wife, "why shake hands with the devil before he knocks at your door? Don't worry about it now. A year is a long time. Lots of things can happen in a year. The king may die in a year. You might die. And anyway, I know darn well that bear is going to die!" The bear died in six months. All of which goes to show that with the proper co-operation, Old Doc Time will take care of most anything. He has cured more diseases than allthe medicines that were ever compounded, solved more problems than all the brains in the world, unloosed more hard knots, unfastened more deadlocks, and untangled more webs than anything or anybody else agoing or gone. Don't hobble your life by worrying be patient and "saw wood." "Learn to labor," wait and see. Old Doc Time, who has killed more bears and bugbears than any other agency, will settle things.

saying. "We are not permitted by the rules to tell you the time of day." AN OZARK FINANCIAL REVIEW (Mill Creek Correspondence Ozark Spectator.) Prank Bush says he thinks he'll come out all O. K. Says he owes about as many people as he doesn't owe. Four hundred nickels were dropped in telephone slots during ten months of 1920. It is getting to be one of the greatest gambling enterprises in this country.

Dinner Stories

"George," said his wife, sitting up suddenly in bed, "there's a burglar in the house. Listen!" "A burglar?" George sat up, too. t "Yes. I can hear him distinctly crossing the floor of the room below. Now (excitedly) he's lighting one of those Cigars I gave you for Christmas. I heard him pick up the box and put it down again."

"By Jove, Mary, you're right," George answered. "He is. He's actu-i ally smoking one of those er those i cigars." I Then he snuggled once more com-! fortably between the blankets. i

"Go to sleep, Mary," he said com

placently. "We'll find the poor wretch in the morning."

Six-year-old Margaret often played with Nellie, a neighbor's little girl. One rainy day the two were just starting across the clean kitchen floor at Margaret's home when the latter's mother, seeing their muddy shoes, headed them off and sent them out to play on the porch. After a moment Nellie returned. "My mother don't care how much I run over the kitchen floor." There was quite a long interval of silence. Then MargaYet said: "I wish I had a nice dirty mother like you've got, Nellie."

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can", "Take It", "Up". THE AFFINITIES OF BEAUTY The Bible says that when the Creator finished His work of creation, He expressed satisfaction at what He had done and said that it was "very good". In other words, He saw beauty everywhere and it made His God-heart happy. The ruling scheme in this world is beauty. And those things which add to and become a part of the Great Entire, we may callUhe affinities of beauty. The artist sees beauty in the broken tree or the bent life. To him, even in this note of tragedy, there is a sense of appeal. For his heart is touched by the pathos of failure. For beauty is in the heart. We see by feeling. And unless we can be reached by the cry of every need, and be thrilled by the tints and colorings of every chill of nature, we are poor vagabonds, unworthy of our heritage. For the affinities of beauty are also sympathy, readiness of spirit, courage, forgiveness, patience, as well as the love of everything that is inspiring and helpful. The beautiful white pond lily has its feet in the muck but it rises to kiss the sun and to say goodnight to the stars! Beauty is mysterious or else it wouldn't appeal as It does. If we would appreciate, we mustn't analyze too far. Ve must touch the dainty fingers of the Affinities of Beauty and then we shall be led into the throne room itself!
