YOUR HOME TOWN
There is something tht
matter with the man who
doesn’t care for the place he
lives in; who doesn't come
back to it with some degree
of rapture and relief. The
world citizen who boaste
that any place he hangs his
hat is his home misses one 01
the first and strongest incei.
tives to decency and duty—
which is the desire to win the
general esteem and gooc
opinion of the community in
which one dwells. No reward
in money Compares in value
with the golden treasures oi
a good repute. If a man
cheats and lies and steak
and bears false witness, he
may build up a great fortune
and still be plagued at night
with the knowledge that the
ones about him hold a low
opinion of his worth and his
work. Dr. Elliot of Harvard
has told us that it is the fa
vorable opinion of a man’s
home town thatis worth earn
i 'o and retaining. One of the
m-’ghbors might be wrong;
but if we take the summa
tion of what many are sav
ing we probably shall arrive
at a just estimate.
Merely to live in a place
doesn’t make one a citizen
Your heart will be where
your work has been put into
help forward anv good thinv
that is going. Of course, one
must be true to the immedi
ate family circle and look
well to the rooftree and the
dooryard of one’s own house
hold first of all. But the in
timate indoor devotion, com
mendable as it is, may, be
come a selfish sentiment that
takes no thought for thos:
measures of public welfare
in whose benefit we all share
Fault-finders stand ready
with harsh censure and snap
judgment upon what the toil
ers are doing. The toilers are
too busy doing the work of
the fault finders. They can
not stop to explain. What
every plantation of human
beings is in need of, if it U
to flourish, is a group of- men
who love others better than
they love their own ease and
quiet and spend themselvei
in self’ih endeavor. No. man
gets the name of civic pat
riot by doing things simplj
for himself. He must serve
the public interest in the gen
eral good, not in his own
pocket; while the range ol
charity may cover the whole
world, it should, in the home
ly phrase, “come home to
roost,” in his own town.—
Philadelphia Ledger.
WE EDITORS at heart
are a truthful bunch of fel
lows and > yet when death
overtakes some skate we
have to pay glowing tributes
to his virtues when we know
darned well he is shaking
hands with th£ devil.

How l<nw«*tt»Ameri«m pooplr
going to contiim to dothe, food lad'
finance the nations of'BurBptT^tWr
is a question which depends entirely
upon the American people. They wil:
continue to clothe, feed and finance
the people of Europe just so long ofc
the people of Europe refuse to wocV
for their clothes food and money *hey
will continue just as long as sympa
thetic propaganda is circulated bronil
cast throughout the nation. They will
continue just as long as they believe
the pitifully exagerated stories pub
lished in our daily papers and maga
zines. They will continue just aa long
as oridc* and the fear of ridicule pre
vent them from saying, MNol Not one
:>enny for foreign peoples until oui
>wn are properly clothed and fed.’
They will continue just as long as th<
^leadings of some overly fed and
iverly paid official appeals to their
generosity and arouses their compas
;ion. They will continue just so loop
is master penmen are able to portray
cents of misery and write descrip
,ive “Sob Stuff.” We are not ques
ioning the authenticity of Mr. Her
>ert Hoover’s statement that there
ire thousands of hungry children ir
Europe and we are certainly not say
ng that the sum of $33,000,000 is not
efficiently large to feed a great num
,er of these hungry children, neithci
lo we contend that it is our business
o interfere with individual acts of
•harity when the individual sees fit
o donate his or her money to any
ause what-so-ever. What we are ob
ecting to is coercion and the practi
cal forcing of people to donate whe
annot really afford to do so, but who
lo do so simply because they fear the
.'inger of public opinion and because
stronger minds and silvery tongues
force them to do that which they j
would not do of their own free will.
The War caused much suffering and
misery among the peoples of Europe.
This suffering and misery still ex
ists in many sections of the continent
and will continue to exist, just so long
as the nations of Europe continue to
fight and squabble among themse’v
We admit that this suffering and mis
cry is a sad thing to witness and at
the same time we admit that our mil
lions will do much toward allaying
the suffering and misery of Europe.
Right here in our own United States
through this period of war reconstruc
tion we are facing a serious problbm.
of our own. Factories and manufactur
ing plants are shutting down by the
score. Small stores and large stores
are closing their doors. Mines and
ailroads are curtailng their working
forces. Millions of men and women j
have been forced out of employment
luring the past six months. Soap
'dtchens and bread lines are being,
established in most of the large cities
and men, women and children are \
hungry and growing more hungry
onuj destitute as the weeks of unem
ployment go by. The new Republican
administration oni the Fourth of this
coming March will face a condition
that will require the jnost strenuous
effort, on the part of those who have
been elected by the people to handle
the reins of the government during
the next four yean, before we can
hope to adjust certain conditions as
they should be adjusted. Our own peo
pie who will work if they can work
will be unable to do so simply because
the retrenchment era will necessitate
time to work out a safe and sane sys
tem of stability. While this system is
being worked out there will be many
many hungry children in ear own dt-’
ies and the fact that there will be and
are already thousands of men, women
and children In almost every large,
city in the Unitdl States who are ob
liged to go to bed hungry, makes it
absolutely necessary that we should
provide for our own people befote~we
cast our money blindly into ywamtL
huge fond which is being eoHectadfo*

of miles away. Let ua look after the
interests of our own American citi
zens first and then if we have a sur
plus let us give that to the hungir

why, just that long will we continue
to pour it, because these people will
n<5t go to work as long as they feel
that they, can depend upon the people
of the United States to. support them.
The average individual works for
money and the average individual
will not work if some other person
furnishes him with a' sufficient
amount of money to supply his needs.
All of us work because we hope some
tday to make sufficient money to en
able us to live without working. The
people of Europe who are not work

Those who are working are not hun
