May 4th, 1908, at the postoffice at Syracuse, Indiana, under the Act o. Congress of March 3rd, 1879. —————— ■' Thusrday, November 11, 1920 Two years ago today our nations was celebrating the signing of the Amistice. What exaltation, expressed in wildest form, yet expressive of a wonderful idealism, ran riot that day! Most of us were stirred* with an emotion which lifted us to such a height that we thought our devoirion to and love for our country were very real and big. We vowed that that devotion and Iqve would live and bear fruit in our lives so long as we lived. Let us take today a few min utes for introspection. Have we been true to that high resolve that we made so quickly and easily on that eleventh day oi November? Have we allowed selifishness or greed any part of that space reserved for bigger and better things? Are we will ing to sink ourselves in the least for the good of our country? Or have we swung to the other ex do all the baser elements of us as individuals and a nation hold preference? If this be true it is time for us to retract a bit and begin to restore as soon as possible the spirit of co-operation that made us fine and strong during the war days. The past ' political campaign has done much to stifle this •spirit in the past months. But let’s emerge from the storm, and to a man- and owman- let us all pull together, regardless of politics, with the new regime, so that the greatest good will come to all. The new administration is your administration, my administration, everyone’s administration. We are brothers in a democracy for which we must help be responsible. Not every fellow for himself, but all together for the common good. o o It is to be hoped that the people of Syracuse will be sufficiently interested in the state-wide campaign that is now being made to raise the efficiency of the school system of Indiana from seventeenth to first place among the States of the Union. All of us that are able should attend the program given in connection with this campaign at the school house tnight. We need to wake up to the facts that exist in regard to our public schools. There was a day when Indiana did rank high in school matters and at that time through the virtue of our school system we won national renown. But we must have gone to sleep on these laurels for why else do we find ourselves facing the fact thst we rank seventeen? We have not been standing still in other matters. In accordance with population we stand second in manufacturing industry. We are third in producing corn and hogs. We rank sixth in soft coal production. And the great trouble is that we have considered the cost of bettering the school system too heavy. Is is better to save money than to make a good citizen? For we know that the grade.of citizenship that we produce is largely produced through our schools. We must set about to remedy this situation then. And the

channel through which this remedy must come is taxation. Taxation for bettering our schools ■s as important, yes, more important than taxes for other state possessions, none of which :an compare m value with our school children which are our lope of tomorrow. It is time that parents and ritizens renew the practice of visiting the schools and observe what is being done, thus making themselves familiar with the school situation. Then they will be in better shape to see the needs of the school system and be more alert to help minister to it. o o Subscribe to The Journal NOW.

W WWW ||||& nM //w i this NEW EDISON “The Phonograph With a Soul” The Epoch-Making Test at the Methodist Church Mr. Edison wanted to prove to the music-lovers of Syracuse that his new phonograph reproduced the art of great artists with perfect realism. The test he made , was dramatic, ever spectacular. Marie Morrisey sent here by Mr. Edison, stood beside the New Edison and sang. Suddenly she stopped singing. The New Edison took up the song and sang it alone. The living voice and its RE-CREATION by the New Edison were thus directly compared. The human ear could detect no difference between living voice and RE-CREATION voice. It was both the test and the proof. And the proof marked a new epoch in music. I It is an exact duplicate of the Official Laboratory Model, which made music-history last October 18 in Syracuse. This instrument has been certified by Marie Morrisey herself

DO you hope to own a phonograph as wonderful as the Official Laboratory Model, which enthralled an audience of Syracuse’s music-lovers at the Methodis Church?
