"TOWN BOOSTING"
The town boosting movement has
become so general that one town gains
little more in this way from its sur
rounding than it loses to other com
petitors. Of course this makes it doubly nec
essary to keep hustling for new busi
ness, if we would play the game and
keep up with our rivals.
But while we are soliciting new in
dustries to come here while one town
. is wearing "boosting buttons" and an
other is stamping its mail matter with
"booster tags" let us see to it that
we are not lacking in certain funda
mental substantiate of community de
velopment
The most solid growth comes where
we can encourage our own young and
ambitious men to start in business and
t stay here instead of going away. Ev
ery town has, and we have, such am
bitious and promising young men, of
good business capacity. '
The city that gets ahead is the city
where the men who have already won
out are willing to help 3ro"unger men
get a foothold.
If just as soon as our business men
are successful, they should settle down
idly to enjoy their money, indifferent
to the advancement of the town, we
should progress but slowly. But if
they will interest themselves in our
younger men and newer enterprises,
. serve on boards of directors, invest
what they can in home undertakings,
give the benefit of tneir experience,
no power on earth can stop this place
from growing very fast
The returns from planting shade
trees and developing parks and keep-j
ing home grounds in fine order may J
seem remote, and not of much assist
. ance, commercially. But in a place
where these things are carefully look
ed after, the town acquires a wide repu
tation as a residence town. Every
traveling man who comes here, every
visitor, scatters the report that this
is a mighty agreeable place to live in
The returns from this source may be
slow, but they are .yery sure. Any
business man hesitating between two
places for a location always choose?
the attractive residence place. And
there is a constant tendency of people
to move in from the country to edu
cate their children and enjoy town life,
and they always pick attractive resi
dence places to move to.
temperance from the churches should
observe it inside the churches. O
Intemperance in drinking, smoking, O
or eating is deplorable because it vio- O
lates the laws of nature. Usually, O
however, such intemperance inflicts O
its punishment on the person guilty O
of it Except in cases where the in- O
temperance occurs in public", setting O
a bad example for others, the effects O
are confined to one person. Where O
a minister is guilty of intemperance O
in speech, however, the effects are O
widespread. Not only is it unseemly 0
that a deciple of religion should rage O
against individuals, but a great deal O
of harm is done f to the persons whom O
he attacks. They are subjected to Q
undesirable notoriety and are held up O
to unjust criticism. O
Whether they shall smoke cigar- O
ettes or not is a matter for the worn- O
eng themselves tD decide. The only O
sensible objection that can be made O
to the growing practice is that it O
takes away some of the sweetness O
which men are wont to associate with
women, it tne women are willing to
sacrifice one of the ideals of the men
for the sake of whatever enjoyment
they obtain from smoking cigarettes
that is their own business.

THE CALL OF THE CHILD
All over the nation there is a gener
al awakening to the great responsi
bility society has imposed upon it in
in caring properly for millions of chi!
dren who either have no parents or
bave parents indifferent to their edu
cation and environment
At the meeting of the General Con
ference of the Methodist Episcopal
church in Minneapolis 19,000 clergy
men of that denomination were pledg-
ed to make war on the employment of
children less than sixteen years of
age In factories and textile mills.
The Southern Sociological Congress
in Nashville will give attention tb the
. abuses of child labor, and from hun
dreds of gatherings all over the coun
try, and thousands of newspaper of
fices are going out almost daily for the
emancipation of childhood from drudg
ery which interferes with education
and blights the happiness which
should enter into every young life,
In its resolutions of protest against
-child labor the Minneapolis Confer
ence' made this statement about condi
tions in this country:
In their greed for gain, employers
"have in this country put about 2,500,
(000 children under sixteen years of
:age in mills, mines, factories and mes
senger service. Of the 80,000 children
in the textile mills, we are informed
;that 20,000 are under twelve years of
-age, and in those mills yearly about
3.00 baby hands are cut off by machin
ery. In the glass factories there are
7,000 children; in saw mills, 8,000, and
in cigar factories, 12,000 children, who
handle cigars at the rate of eight
cents per thousand. This is an ap
palling commentary on modern civili
sation. Who is it we hear crying in
the street corners: "Suffer little chil
dren to come unto Me?" Is it Jesus
Christ, or the greed for gain? It
about time we realize the suffering
and calamity which modern civiliza
.tion is imposing upon the children.
The war against ignorance and illit
eracy may well begin with laws which
will make it impossible for iidifferent
parents to live off the earnings of their
young 'children who should be in the
schools. The degradation of children
is a blow at the very heart of society,
and any state should feel disgraced
that a single one of its children is not
in school layir? the foundation for in
telligent citizenship.
Let us hope that Ariierica will be
as keenly , toucneo as ureac uritain
has been by the appeal for a celebra
tion of the completion of a hundred
years of peace between the great
nglo-Saxon natons. On next Christr
