POLITICS Politics Is not a term of reproach. Many people consider it beneath tl eir moral plane to engage in “politics.” What is “politics” but the active engagement of the citizens in the governmental affairs of his country and its sub-divisions? What is “politicts” more than practically applying self-govern-ment? If politics is wrong, oursysu m of government is wrong. T sere are some foreign countries v ere the people do not engage in p itics at all. They are not inv ed to, not expected to, nor alii ed to. Do you regard that sort 0 j nation as ideal and its governn nt as a model? If you don’t eng ;e in polities somebody else will d- your share and theirs too, and t! in you will wonder and complain a the “corruption” of politics. D:d you let another fellow court your girl for you? Would you s >nd for another man supporting your wife? Did you ever let other people run your business while you v ent away on visits? Yet you do those very absurb things when you hold impeccably aloof from practical politics and let men that you frankly despise do your duty as well as theirs. The man who professes religion but does not practice it is generally and properly despised. How much worse is he than the man who loudly prates of his patriotism and fine citizenship, and then d es not work at it. The citizen under a republic is a cog in the government.' He dare not lag nor slip. He cannot be a citizen spasmodically. There are elements in the body politics which, like microbes in the body human, work ceaselessly the year around. “Etern .1 vigilance is the price of liberty. ’ ( Politics is mostly vigilance. “Vigilance” is the high-brow word for keeping one’s eyes open. \ To skin the other fellow first keep your own eyes skinned. THEIR OPPORTUNITY Followers of Dowie now have their golden opportunity to prove their powers of healing. There are tl ty-five cases of small-pox in Z. n City and we will await with in rest the news that Voliva has re fed the disease by a mere verbal command.

FALSE ECONOMY Real Economy is as scarce as the proverbial hen’s teeth. Economy as it is understood nowadays is the going without a lot of little things that you do need to buy some large thing that you don’t need. NO PARTIALITY The Journal is not at war with a society, any church, nor any fraternal organization, and will be glad to print items of interest for any of them at any time. _ _ - : HOW CAN HE DO IT? The Busco Paper tells of “hundreds of dollars in prizes” which it will give away and mentions a $4.00 piano as first prize. A Lot of married men regard home as a place where they can change their clothes. HELP THE BELGIANS iIGHT THE ELEMENTS Leave Your Old Clothing At The Journal Office For Forwarding . European winter is disagreeable enough at the best but when the clothing and food supply is almost exhausted it becomes a tragedy. The National Relief Committee °f Belgian has asked Julianna Deslover, the only Belgian woman in Syracuse, to solicit clothing of any description for shipment to that devastated country. Mrs. Deslover is willing enough but her small store of English and her unacquaitance with the people here handicaps her and the Syracuse journal has offered to help. You may bring your offering to this office and it will be taken care of and boxed for shipment to the “old country.” There is many a Belgian family starving and freezing and any bit of clothing that they may receive will be a help against the cold. Gather up your cast-off clothing—men, women, or children’s —and bring them to the Journal office. Every Thing Happens At Once Last Friday night immediately after the basket-ball game the bunch met the boys at the home of Elvah Pearson, The house was decorated in such away that it seemed very fascinating to the boys although as they entered they bei came somewhat frightened and some seemed to hang back until it was made sure no real ghosts were there, only “make-ups.” There were some very funny customs and it kept the boys guessing who the girls were. There were some makeups so real that they were not known S until the masks were removed from the faces. The rooms were decorated very nicely; it looked more like a field than a house. Fodder, pumpkins and bitter-sweet made one think he was spending the evening in the country. Some very interesting games were played and each one learned what his future would be. A light refreshment was served to twenty-five. Two of the guests were from out of town, Opal Whitehead' from Elkhart and Kenneth Walters from Bremen. ** P Drunken Autoists Ira Noel and Vern Miller of Goshen were arrested on complaint of an Elkhart autoist who thought the Goshen men were going to hold him up. The pair were fined for intoxication and in addition Noel was charged with running an auto while intoxicated. This latter charge against Noel was dropped on his promise to be good. If the charge is pressed his license will be taken away from him. Lou W. Vail Back? The Goshen Democrat says that Lou W. Vail, one of Goshen’s Progressive leaders, has returned to the Republicans with a statement that the Progressive party is done for. Rabbits Were Plentiful There are more rabbits this season than in many years, yet we have jot heard of any extraordinarily large bags by local hunters.

LOOK FORWARD TGEXPOSITION When Fleet Will Go Through Panama Canal To California j Mrs. Joann Holloway has received a letter from her son Roy, j in the navy, part of which we reproduce' “We have finished firing our 12, j 8, and 7-inch guns and several of the three-inch guns. We began firing the three-inch battery last night but it got so rough the men could not get alongside the target raft, to shift the targets so we had to stop firing and I turned in about one o’clock. I forgot to tell -you that all the guns fire in the day except the three-inch. These guns are for defense against torpedo boat attacks and usually after night all practice with the three-inch battery is held at night. lam glad of one thing, with the firing we have done so far, each gun has worked like a clock and not one thing has happened to bring discredit upon the ordance department. “We are beginning to look forward now to the time the fleet will go through the Panama Canal to the Exposition. The fleet is supposed to assemble here in Hampton Roads and all go through the canal together. “This ship will be having division target practice about the middle of November and that will end target practice till next spring. “The captain has notices posted informing the crew that he was well pleased with the showing made at target practice and with our endurance run. The ship, under forced draught, made 19 knots for four hours and 16 knots for 20 hours, exceeding the speed she made one year ago.” Hickey Is Gratified In a letter from A. J. Hickey, he says that while not successful at the polls, he is gratified at the cut made in Barnhart’s majority. He further states that he belives that I two years from now the Progres- | sives will not have tickets in the field but will unite with the Republicans. He belives that the chance of their ever becoming a dominant party is gone. At Chicago Theatre Audrey Snyde r , world-famous | vaudeville artist, and a native of i Syracuse, opened an engagement at ' the Columbia Theatre, Chicago, Monday evening.
