WORLD
PROGRESSING
‘‘Without vision the prople perish”
It is only by peering aheud Into the
misty future In order to discern the
first gleam of the sun of perfection
that humanity may hope to progress.
It Is because of faith in the innate
goodness of humanity and of the
coming of a rule of justice, mercy
and truth, that man struggles for
the good of his fellows.
It is not true that the world is
growing worse ffnd that nations have
hopelessly turned their feet from the
path of pence und progress. It is on­
ly that the conception of right and
wrong has become more vivid, that
we today note the sordidness and vice
among men and women; the trickery
and evasion of politicians and the
overt acts of one nation that arouse
the resentment of another.
When wag it that men were not
cruel, brutal and merciless, crimin­
al and unjust? When was it that na­
tion did not arm against nation ad
seek by the prowess of armies to
wrest from neighboring peoples their
territories and thei rpossesions?
History Is in the main the record­
ing of perfidy and strife, of man’s
inhumanity to man; of the crushing
pf the weak by the strong; of great
empires being built from the ruins of

subjugated peoples.
Today one Is shocked by vice and
crime because he Is conscious of their
enormity. Things which In the time
of the fathers were so common as to
be regarded as ordinary, today send
a thrill of horror through the hearts
of the people because the popular
standard has been Infinitely raised—
the popular abhorrence of the vicious
the depraved and the unjust intensi­
fied.
Whether or not crime has Increas­
ed Is a question. Possibly it Is not
an increase In crime but rather a
knowledge of crime more widely dlf-
fusde through the vastly enhanced
facilities for gathering and scatter­
ing the news, that leads tp the fear
of a moral brakdown of the people.
The regeneration of man is a slow
process, but a long step has been tak­
en through realization of the dlffer-
¡ ence between good and evil. It Is
‘ through altruism controlled by Judg­
ment, faith In the high destiny of
mankind, that the world shall be ul­
timately saved. Vision that keeps
man consistently working for the
uplift of his race will eventually be
vindicated. Without It, humanity
must sink back Into the dark slough
of pag&nism.
MAKE CHRISTMAS SAFE
Christmas Is nearly here.
We will soon read of the Christ­
mas trees that were ignited through
careless use of candles or electric
wiring. We will read of the houses
that were burned down as a result
and we will read of children and
grown people whose Christmas part­
ies were turned into occasions for
mourning due to death by fire caus­
ed by carelessness In handling in­
flamable materials in connection
with Christmas festivities.
What a pity that a day of rejoic­
ing will be turned Into a day of sor-
iow In many homes as a result of
pure carelessness.
What a wonderful thing It would
be If every family would make It a
point to see that every possible fire
hazard was eliminated from Christ­
mas festivities.
Think of the saving that would
result In lives and property on this
great day.
The New York World says every­
body ought to buy a new suit of
clothes. We like the Idea, says Hous­
ton Post. Some of the men are so
shiny-seated that we can’t under­
stand how they manage to keep in
their chairs without using sandpap­
er cushions.

“Lis'en for the singing hen” ad­
vises F. P Fox o fthe Oregon experi­
ment station. “If you haven’t any in
your flock the chances are that you
are getting very few eggs. Change
the conditions of feed and care, If
necessary, to bring this about."
Conditions In Mexico City are said
to be desperate because of a short­
age of water. They can't be so bad
considering that the supply of pulque
and mescal Is reported to be abund­
ant.— Tacoma Ledger.
Draughty houses and damp poultry
litter are to be guarded against, par­
ticularly at this season of the year.
A palatable wet mash will bring
pullets into production when they
are slow to lay. It Is advisable to feed
it in such a manner that the activity
of the bird will not be interfered
with during the day. A hungry hen
is a working hen.
Bishop of Paris says the United
States holds the key to world peace
Well, ag soon as Europe quits plast­
ering the keyhole up with mud, prob­
ably Uncle Sam will use his key—

The story of the newspaper pub­
lished in the country town or smaller
city has significance for the student
of American society. The Influence
of this class of newspaper is close,
constant and pervasive.
When the paper appreciates its
opportunities and is judiciously con­
ducted, it becomes a member of
every family within itg field In a
way that the great newspaper of the
larger city cannot rival.
The small town paper is never a
product of wealth, its capital con­
sisting of the editor’s brains and Its
plant, of copy paper, paste, scissors,
table and waste basket.
The success of such newspapers is
owing chiefly to the courage and
persistence of the proprietor and to
the suport of the community. The
loyalty of the editor and of the pap­
er to the community is an asset to
any town and deserves its friend­
ship.
There Is a strong bond of Influ­
ence between country weekly and
smaller cities dailies and their read­
ers that can never exist in the re­
lation of the metropolitan daily and
the public.
