SAVE THE
SMALL TOWN
An nrtlclo under this heading has
appeared In tho March number of
"Tho Lyceum Magazine" nnd of cour
bo It nttrncted our attention nt once
ns wo nro interested in any sensible
discussion of the topic. Wo were not
ut nil disappointed In tho short tlmo
that It took to read tho nrtlclo, Indeed
wo liked It so much that wo want to
pass on to tho readers of this column
ionic of tho good things Hint tho writ
er said:
Tho following is thcroforo taken
verbatim from tho Illuminating nrtl
clo: It any enemy wero to invndo this
country, ho would bo rcslstod. Wo
would volunteur Just ns In tho days
of former Invasions. Wo would bent
the drums nnd orgnnlzo companies,
regiments, armies and drive out tho
Invader,
Wo would not rlso up an Individu
als, each with his own plan of nttnek;
wo would organize Into an army with
one concerted plan of nttnek.
Individualism brings ndmlrntlon,
but co-operation brings salvation.
Individualism ran walk from Chicago
to Now York In n month, perhaps;
but corporation can tnko you In
day nnd for less money.
n enemy Is Invading every small
town, city and rural community. It
Is Tho Lure ut The City. It fevers
the young peoplo nnd they yield Just
ns fast as they ran got nwny. Hit tho
villages are barely holding their own
or nro shrinking. They aro becoming
In many Instances "tho culls" nnd
"tho left-overs", whllo tho ambition
tho red blood nnd tho hustle livo
been token cnptlvo nnd nro yearly bo
Ing led to prison of city life. Much
of It is exile In dingy hull bedrooms
Tho Luro selects tho strongest and
best.
Tho city receives Its Influx. Hero
nnd thuro one rises to distinction
It Is tho country bred youth who docs
win out, not tho city ono, for ho has
started with mora strength from tho
simpler Hie.
They nro Jostled In tho crowd; thoy
boo tho seamy hIiIo of life; thoy bco
the easy morals nnd no qucstlons'nsk-
ed; thoy sou temptation everywhere;
they get lonely nnd dlscornged, nnd
without homo Influences llttlo by
little their moral moorings slip. Only
tho young person with tho strongest
character ran fight slnglehnndcd nnd
n onu tlio temptations of u great city.
(Jo to tho blear-eyed young man In
u cheap fml&on or In tho street crowd
listening to Homo blatant agitator,
and you will find that ho camo from
Kingman, Kits,, or from Dunkirk,
Ohio. You will find that tho painted
girl an tho street confer camo from
Crystal Falls, Mich., or from Waco,
ToxaB. If they had never Boon Chica
go thoy would havo been saved from
their degradation.
Meanwhile tho worthy citizens of
Kingman nnd Crystal Falls and Waco
and Dunkirk read ot tho problems of
tho city with merely Idlo curiosity.
"That Isn't our problem. Thank
Cod, wo hnvo none of It."
O, how Kingman and Dunkirk and
Crystal Falls and Waco need hump
ing. Tho city should send them tho
names of their own citizens that hnvo
been thrown upon tho scrnphonp.
Evory small town should bo furnish
cd tho annual list of victims that
woro taken right out of Its borders
becnuso it was asleep with tho doors
unlocked.
Tho Invader is despoiling tho small
towns ot their most precious product,
tho young peoplo and yet tho smnll
towns do not organlzo Into companies
to resist. No drums bent, no flags
fly, no r miles rlso up. So they nro
helpless. They rely on Individual no
tion, Each man works out his own
plan. What wo havo said ot four
towns Is true ot forty thousand. Tho
citizens aro so wrappod up In Belt
rlghtousiicss ' and self satisfaction
thoy don't want to act. Thoy wont
lino -up. Each man is Interested In
himself and his business and his
church, nnd too afton thinking Ills
success is only to bo won as ho worsts
his competitor, Each llttlo church la
Incllnod to envy tho other churches
The town Is not n town, but u collec
tion of little cliques and .factious and
clubs and parties. A now movement
is started rJCbno church or faction
tako lttCtho others will fight it; So
Christianity nnd progress nro haltod
at tho co-oporatlonUne.
No, not all small towns. Horo.and
-. i i . . i
thoro ono Is waking up nud getting
togothor.
It tho small town Is to bq saved It
miiBt get togcthor, Tho Luro of tho
Luro of tho Country.
Tho city offers bright lights, beau
ty, animation, opportunity, Inspira
tion, entertainment, All theso fire
the young mind. What Is tho homo
town offorlng? Loafers, tobneco
Bplttlng tho streets, back number
stores; fossilized folks cumbering tho
hojcl office, depot nnd grocery with
their checker-boards; n fow business
men fighting each other.
Tho small town must wnko up,
muster Into nn army, n Homo Uuard
army, by getting all together and
working for the common good, to al
ter tho young tho bright tights, beau
ty, etc., etc. Tho small town must
say to tho young people "Wo will glvo
you all tho city can glvo nnd morn.
Wo bcllcvo In you nnd wo wilt glvo
you every opportunity to beconm
happy nnd successful. This is your
town, you must mnko It great; you
must not desert your own."
Then tho small town must go deep
Into its pocket nud heart to provide
tho advantages. It must movo tho
city to tho country. It must build
tip churches, schools nnd u great Ly
to urn nnd Chnutnuquit. Tho boys'lu
tho barber shop and loafing iiround
pool halls tho girls who giggle thr
ough tho street nt night, these need
their heads nnd hearts widened and
to bco tho truo visions ot life. Thee
nro tho crowds out on tho hlghwio
nnd byways of your town Hint need to
bo gathered In.
Tho small town must havo every
advantage. Illgglnsvlllo Advance.
