RELIGION ONLY CURE FOB RADICALISM. One cannot read the newapepexe mnmdaya without foeling some misgiving tor the future of our great American Republic. A* Americana we ail wish to believe that all 1* well with our country and that her future is assured, but the current events of the day indicate that our nation faces vrorse foes than it baa ever laced before. We are not. Indeed, threatened seriously by .aggression from without, but we are threatened by discord nnd disorder from within. A great war is even now being waged between capital and labor.

America Is facing n great crisis in its history. What dees it all mean? Will the Constitution of the United States which provide* for n square deal lor everybody un<i for all classes of cltixena evi ally become a mere scrap of paper? What la the answer? la his farewell address lean people, George Washington gave the answer when he wisely wrote, "both reason and experlmce forbid us to expect that national murclliy can prevail in the exclusion of religious principles.** if Americans continue to neglect religlcu. if they conUaue to. tuffleci religious training for their growing boys and girls, the time will •urwly conn when the American ship of state will be wrecked on the reefs

WAKE UP 1 Now that the Holiday Season to at hand, the annual flood of mall to the Catalogue Houses in New Yo-k and Chicago has commenced, and in e*cb letter is money that should be loft right here at home. There is no holiday need that the local (tores could not supply if they would; and there Is no reason why a dollar should bo spent away from here if that dollar c»n buy as much as It

can elsewhere.

The fault lies not with the people, but with the merchants them*elves. They do not—the majority of them— believe in advertising. "Everybody knows where the store is, and if they want anything they'll come without me advertising," to the way several of them feel. People know where Wanmmaker's and Gtmbei'a are, and they know that the Chan Williams a to res are in New York and SenrnRoebuck and Company afe in Chicago, but still these concerns advertise. Why ? Because it pay* Ang it would pay every merchant of every town, no matter how Urge or small advertise, even though that adver Using was confined to a sign stock up on corner telegraph poles, or by pretty window decorations.
