FROM BOOTLEGGING TO BOLSHEVISM
The American principle that law must be enforced must
be upheld at all hazards. It is only a short step from the
disregard of one law to the contempt for and violation of all
laws. It, is. not far from moonshine to murder. It is only
a short way from bootlegging to Bolshevism. The I. W. W.
is first cousin to the illicit still. The assassination of Yoder
of Woodburn was the outgrowth of moonshining and boot
legging, ring operations, believe the good people down at
Woodburn.; - '
' " It is proper to criticize any law; but it is dangerous to
wink "at 'the 'violation 'of any law and it is not American.
It is subversive of everything American.
, t It must be plainly understood that the law abiding peo
ple of Marion county are not going to be terrorized by any
moonshining and bootlegging ring. The enforcement of all
laws will proceed in this community, and this may as well
be understood now by all concerned. Every red blooded
American should glory in this kind of a program; and, in
the -long run, such a course will be better even for the men
who would now attempt to thwart the forces of law en
forcement, or to seek to bring their patriotic efforts into
rbntempt. f :,; :m,
CHILD 'WELFARE
in
Ik
i
Frpm an economic as well as a moral point of view Child
Wfl fare as a science is vitallv imnortant. Information and
enlightenment, not theories, vmust be widely disseminated,
I s parents.4 especiilly.- must be constrained to feel the stupen
dous necessity of a' greater,' responsibility .toward the chil
dren, a responsibility that precludes ignorance, indifference,
or fanaticism.
Child Welfare Is cast the early experimental stajre. and
"t certain principles have been proved beyond all doubt or ques
it'tion to be fundamental ti the well-being rjfchildren. Any
jmeiiigenb parent wnais noi lamuiar wun inese principles, ut
knowing them, disclaims them and substitutes his own the
ories, fails in training his child toward his best development,
and shirks his parental responsibility. .
Two roads into the future stretch out before each help
less, babe, the one of continuous unfoldment and successful
accomplishment, the. other of weakness, failure, disappoint
ment.; If parents could but have vision to gaze into the fu-
I J ture, and, knowledge to carry on their work wisely so that the
) child might be prepared to meet in the highest way each ad
j, venture in life, how. different would be the advancement; of
' I the world from what it now. is! Perfect vision would re Veal
i j the importance of starting the child out with a well and sym
' r metrically developed body, a body that enjoys far greater Im
munity: to weakness and disease than does an undeveloped
one, and which, by reason of the power of resistance to outer
influences, extends protection to heart and mind against
temptation and mental infection. f :
" . ' The child's, first right is to be born a healthy animal.
To help him to build as strong and normal a body as possible
is tne parent's first duty to his child, and to give the child at
birth his rightful inheritance of pure blood and strong muscle,
rare Indeed, requires preparation on the part of his ancestors.
i It will not do to wait until the child is laid in the outstretched
I parental arms before his parents wake up to their obligation
tto bring to the little lif eits rightful due.
"jlowbeit that was not first which is spiritual but that
which is natural and afterward that which is spiritual." So
the parent who has learned wisdom by his effort to develop
himself to be fit for parenthood does not worry over the re
ligious instruction of his child, but surrounds the babe with
good influence in a harmonious home, a sweet atmosphere
of dean language, noble thoughts and sincerity, and upon the
child the great sun of love sheds its warmth and life, mak
ing the seeds that are planted in the heart from the begin
ning, love and goodness and honesty and purity, to sprout and
grow into sturdy plants.
To furnish the "daily bread," the true nourishment that
the child requires for the growth of body, mind,, and soul, is
but one step in advance of giving him the right food for the
healthful upbuilding of his natural body. Stress is laid upon
the importance of the highest development of the young body
becau.se upon its health and vigorous growth and its fitness
for the use to which it is put now and later on in life depend
the perfect results of his lifelong activity, mental and spirit
ual as well as physical. Many brilliant minds and devoted
souls have been hindered and repressed by a weak and dis
eased body. The ranks of the "might-have-beens" of human
ity are greatly augmented by ignorance and carelessness in
feeding children.
A most hopeful and encouraging sign of the times is the
widespread interest shown in the welfare of children, and the
fact that it is gradually being borne in upon our people, that
they have an obligation to bring to each child the needful
helps to make of him the most and the best possible, and in
the happiest way. The school, the church, social organiza
tions, writers and lecturers, are bringing to the world the
truth that to protect the life of the children and to rear them
for the highest usefulness is the most important factor in
establishing the stability and progress of the nation. Com
munities are making a practical demonstration of their inter
ft in this bv establishing free clinics for the medical treat
ment of poor children, in furnishing stations for weighing ba
bies and giving out literature for the education of the moth
ers, in segregating the tubercular or delicate children from
tho nthprs and nrovidincr out of door school rooms for them,
in preparing hot lunches for under-nourished children, in fur
nishing and supervising recreational grounds, and in many
other wavs that cannot be enumerated here. All this is be
ing efficiently done in some cities. Such work is needed ev
erywhere. . '

The Parent-Teacher Association is doing a great work
for both parents and children. There is bright hope for the
future when a great body like this holds before its members
the high ideals of harmony and co-operation, patriotic loyal
ty, reverence for all that is good and beautiful and uplifting
in life, and at the same time practically helps all to realize
these ideals in their home life and in society, in the hearts of
themselves and of their children.

tuwatiep thov wish tn hrintr better conditions into their homes
and to fulfill their obligation to their family in the highest
way ; and many homes are today enjoying greater nappiness
and harmony because of the Parent-Teacher Association- .
The Federal Government has established a Children's
Bureau, but the work of the Bureau must be backed up by
the public, and a greater demand for its helpfulness come
from the home before the government will recognize a need
for its extension and furnish it funds with which to carry on
a large work. When the farmers rose en masse and cried to
th nation for helrj. laws were passed and millions of dollars
spent to protect the livestock. The wealth and prosperity of
the land were increased thereby and it was right that it
should be done. Child culture is surely a higher need than
hog culture, so let us hope that the cry of the parents for
help will be loud and long and tnat it win oe nearo.
No countrv need fear the canker worm at the heart nor
the red menace from without if the parents succeed by a unit-
ed effort in upholding all that is good ana m living up io
high and holy ideals, and in environing their children with

It seems to be but a short time
since McKlnley was elected pres
ident, but in 189C there were only
four automobiles in the United
States. There are now 9,211,295
motor cars, including commercial
vehicles in the United States. All
this from tbat lonesome car which

BEER AS MEDICINE.
Looks as if the next rock on
which the nation can split is
whether beer Is a medicine or not.
A lot of people who once took
the stuff for refreshment now In
sist that it is a medicine. There
are others who deny any personal
need for taking medicine who
still demand their beer. Temper
ance people aver that beer tastes
like medicine to them, but they
refuse to take It as medicine
even If the doctor prescribes it.
Men who make medicines say that
beer Is not a remedy. It Is a d's-
ease. Brewers say that beer is
not only a meeMclne. but that it is
refreshment and , food. It Is
everything but a suit of clothes.

SHAVE AXD TRIMMINGS.
A man has some rights which
even a barber must respect. A
fellow who went into a New York
barber shop and asked merely
tor a shave was given a full' pro
gram by the barber and charged
$t.15 therefor. The customer
was led to believe that a face
bleach and an anointed dome
were a part of a first-class shave,
put he balked at paying the price
demanded by the tonsorialist at
'he conclusion of the rites and
ceremonies. Afterward he made
complaint to the authorities and
as a result the barber was locked
up in jail for five days for ex
tortion. It seems that a barber
say not excessively profiteer in
the appendages to a shave. Nei
ther may he enforce his program
of adornment on a customer
I'gainst his will and wish. It Is
fell to know some of these things,
if the barber trims you too much
the barber may himself sbe trimmed.
THE TRUE SUNDAY.
(Los Angeles Times.)
The difference between a blue
Sunday and a true Sunday was
effectively expounded from a
local pulpit.- last Sabbath morn
ing. The preacher regretted that
the controversy cbuld not be at
once trensferred from the cockpit
of passion to the court of reason.
But people chafe at the thoughf
of coercion. That Is the greatest
irritant in bringing about a prop
er observance of the Sabbath. No
body wants to be forced to it
1 he pastor paid that without
waiving the right of majority
to enforce its opinion by law it
Is probable that education and
persuasion will carry a. righteous
course ' farther and faster. The
plea for liberty to play, or rest on
Sunday while others worship,
study or serve militates against
uo sensible theology or Christian
aspiration. As Dr. Nah sums It:
"The ultra-liberals must allow
that the betterment agenciesde
serve some sympathy and appre
ciation; even conservatives mutt
confess that the Sabbath was
made for man, is not an end In
Itself and should adopt its cus
toms to the whole of human need
end not merely to one." We
should be chary ot undertaking
coercive measures to enforce our
own beliefs against the will and
wish of others.

HEADING FOR ENGLAND f
In Texas they still tell the story
of the Englishman .who imported
a famous wolf-hound from Euro,
pe In order to gain wealth by
catching wolves for which the
state paid a bounty of $10 a head
When the dog came he Invited
some dyed in the wool Tex ana to
see the first chase. Before long a
wolf was sighted, the dog was
freed from his leash and the chase
was on, but though the party wan
dered mile after mile, they found
no trace of either the dog or the
wolf.
Finally'they reached a clearing
where a native was chopping
wood, and the Britisher cried: "I
say, old chap, did you see a wolf
and a hound pass by here?" ,
"Sure did. They Just passed."
"And how was the race?: - .'
"Pretty hot, stranger; but the
dog was a little- bit ahead." 7
