Established 1873) bo ————————— ——- = MOTHER, BE YOUR BOY’S SWEETHEART | AND HE’LL SURE GO RIGHT! How to keep the Boy from going wrong! | A lot of good people are searching for a hard- and-fast rule to solve this question, and while | they are halting many a wayward lad, they are} far from finding a method to save every boy. Ofter have good pecple voiced fear that there is no such all-saving rule. But there is! All the boy needs is the right sort of a mother. The kind of mother Ben McLean had. Ben was a courageous soldier, and a 100 per cent son. Just a few days before the world war ended Ben died in a French hospital. “I asked him,” wrote the nurse, “If he didn’t want me to write a word to his sweetheart. And he said, write to mother. “And a smile came to his pain-tortured face as he whispered: ‘My mother is MY sweetheart.’ That was his last word.” This she told in a letter to the mother, Mr: Milliam McLean, Dunmore, Pa. The dying’ boy-made the “boy problem” crystal clean. It is the solution. So long as a boy’s moth-} er is his “sweetheart” he will do no wrong. Of course, all boys haven’t living mothers. And some mothers haven’t learned how to be their boys’ sweethearts from cradle to manhood. Ben McLean’s mother knew how. The country owes a big debt to his mother for} the:gift of her son, and second cnly to that comes the gratitude of all mothers to her for thus point- ing the way: they may keep ‘their boyg going right. | No higher honor comes to any boy than that it _is said of him: ¢ “HIS MOTHER IS HIS SWEETHEAR) NEW B UNCLE PLAN FOR CUTTING THE # Cost OF LIVING NEEDS BROADENING® nele: Sam's new plan for reducing the. high 2 cost of living LOOKS LIKE A GOOD THING. . That is, a. good thing for the producers and con- " sumers. of farm food products. » It also looks like a bad thing for the profiteer qand ‘the dealer in these’ articles. Let’s TAKE ANOTHER LOOK. This isthe plan: Organize farmers to bring ‘food, products to rural schoolhpyses, i age post _motor ‘trucks take these artithy! to’ city” school- houses, where organized consumers buy and lug them away in baskets, wheelbarrows or autos. The farmer gets better prices. The consumer’ gets lower prices. ‘The parcel post gets more busi- ness. Former auto trucks by the thousands are kept busy. The profiteer is left stranded. The plan is to be applied in local units all over the United States. There! What’s the matter with that for a swat at the high cost o’ living? The plan‘does not go far enough—not yet any- way. Because;it does not provide for the-equit. able distribution of food products the country ove If there is a potato shortage in Michigan and a hiige over-crcp of potatoes in Aroostook, Me., what:ig the answer? The answer is. that some agency, should ship potatoes from Maine to Michi- gan. This equalizing of distribution is of the very highest importance. It is absolutely necessary to the real success of any “farm to table” plan— absolutely necessary in lowering the high cost of living. All the co-operative plans that have failed have fallen down because they were inadequate some- where along the line from the farmer to the city consumer. The distribution problem can’t be solved on any easy-going basis, either. It must be done scien- tifically if it is to be done rightly. Statistics of production, of ¢onsumption, of} needs, must be compiled each season, and supplies automatically distributed. Joseph did it in Egypt 4,000 years ago. we any less intelligent now? Are when the menace is before our: eyes—we make many promises. We are going to do, oh, ever so much for those who rescue us. the battle ceased, and the smoke cleared away, saviors. These long casualty lists that are being what we owe these soldiers; they ought to fasten in our minds forever the meaning of the uniform. It cannot be expected that we remain keyed up in our excitement. The martial music does not sound so inspiring when it is known there is no enemy to be met. But deep down in our hearts we can resolve that we shall not forget the uniform, nor treat it with any less respect when a peace treaty is signed than we did in the dark days when Olthe boys went marching away.—Columbus Dis- patch. BOLSHEVISM SELF-REVEALED (Prepared by William English Walling for the League of National Unity) I THE PRO-BOLSHEVIK PROPAGANDA It would be possible to print volumes of evi- dence as to the Bolshivik regime in Russia. This evidence comes from every possible source. With- the ccmmercial agents of America, , France and Great Britain have told the same story. With one or two exceptions, the large corps of correspond- ents stationed in Russia for many years and fa- miliar with the language of the country substan- tiate the story. Thousands of American citizens, tens of thousands of other foreigners who have lived in Russia for many years, have upon their return to America or their native lands, given an account which is identical in every important .particular. American public has resulted in an almost equally: wide publication of utterly baseless pro-Bolshe- vik statements. These statements have had a certain success because the Bolshevik censorship, beginning in August, has very much decreased di- rect communications with Russia. This pro-Bolshevik propaganda resembles in every way the pro-German propaganda. It begins by denying absolutely the mass of existing evi- dence, including even the original documents put forth bythe: American Gévernment with the di- rect authorization of President Wilson. All the vast masses of material gathered directly or in- directly throygh any governmental sources are rejected on the entirely false assumption. that it is all, official’or governmental. The daily papers and: correspondents with the exception of a few pro-Bolshevik writers are repudiated’ as - being capitalistic. :The same.is said of all foreign .wit- neceSses. ‘The immense. amount of testimony gathered from cther political parties in Russia is rejected as being either “bourgeois” or “partisan.” Have thus,gotten rid of all existitig testtmony, the pro-Bolshevik propagandists ‘then proceed to build up an entirely new and imaginary structure of their own, Powis The pro-Bolshevi agitation has had little or no success in accomplishing its main object. It has produced few Bolshevists in this country and not many pro-Bolshevists. But it has succeeded in confusing the public mind. For four months there has been comparatively little new material from Russia. During this period the pro-Bolshevists have succeeded in getting before the public many of their imaginative productions. What is the origin cf these stories? A few newspaper cor- respondents of Bolshevism. For example, the New..York Times and other newspaper for many months:published:the artigiietof Arthuf’ Ransome as*coming from their.own official correspondent. At the end of this period The Times on several oc- cations ‘printed’ a “notice to the effect that Ran- some was: the official mouthpiece of Lenine and Trotzky. There were several other similar cases. The second group of pro-Bolshevist propagandists is composed cf correspondents or “social work- ers” who knowing nothing-of the Russian lan- guage, Russian politics, Russian geography or the Russian people, went to Petrograd or Moscow and spent a few weeks or a few months in the country under the chaotic conditions of the revolu- tion. Even in times of peace Russia is difficult to understand because of its huge size and com- plicated conditions—even by persons who have spent many years in that country. During the revolutionary turmoil, communication has been so bad that it wculd take months to gather evidence which might be secured in a day in ordinary times. The evidence of these fleeting visitors, most of them entirely without any qualification whatever for such difficult investigation, is all but worth- less. Uncle Sam’s plan needs broadening. PLAYING FAIR With the coming of peace there will be a tend- ency to forget what the boys have done in this war. “Already a uniform looks different,” says a cynic from a neighboring city—and to him it probably does. But to the great mass of Americans it does not, and it must not. We must not allow our ardor for the soldiers to cool off ; they are still our, sol- diers. They are entitled to all the consideration, to all the love and affection they would be'éhtitled to if the war were going on at this very minute. + But it must be confessed there is a tendency to forget. Few of us remember the bridge which ore us across the stream, aftér-wé have safely over. In the heat of battle, in the hours the smoke of destruction is thick about us— Fortunately there is a method by which the whole situaation can easily be cleared up. It .is not necessary to consider either the so-called tes- timony cf the pro-Bolshevist propaganda or the mast mass of evidence gathered from hundreds of other sources. The avowed position of the Bol- sheviki themselves, their own statements and ac- tions which they do not deny are quite sufficient for all practical purposes. This article therefore concerns itself almost en- tirely with the Bolshevists’ own statements and acts which they themselves do not deny, but, on the contrary, boastfully avow.. In order to re- mind the reader of the nature of some of the evi- dence which comes from non-Bolshtvik sources, some of it is referred spece is givgn to the: But no sooner has} than we begin losing our enthusiasm for our printed from day to day ought to open our eyes to} out exception the diplomatic representatives and j _ But unfortunately the extreme liberality of the} American press and the fair-inindednéss of the |: * HUMANITY, A NATIONS’ NATION >. “Our youth has stormed the hosts of hell and won; Yet we who pay the price of their oblation Know that the greater war is just be- sun Which makes humanity the natious* Nation.” Qi —Private Willard Wattles.

Lansing, Mich., Jan. 3.—Early rati- fication of the federal prohibition amendment and enactment of a law requiring that all courses in Michigan schools be conducted in English up to the eighth grade, were urged upon the legislature today by Governor Al- bert E. Sleeper, in his second inaug- ural address to that body. The governor also urged that any defects. in the state's present prohi- bition laws be promptly demedied. Concerning ‘the state’s educational ystem he said: Q “Instead of encouraging the foreign- gr who comes to our state to retain:his native language and ‘traditions, we should’ ‘exert, every '‘infhietice’ to’’im- press upoh“him” the high’ ideals’ of Aniericat’cifienship. °'Nd'schodt child in Mchigal *dhould ‘recélVé-his" etitica- ‘(rdining in’ any ‘foreign’ ldng- ‘An‘ainendmcnt to’ the present ‘slate primary ‘laws, which" would’ prevent a candidate from ‘séeking nomination to an ‘office'on’ more than ‘oné’ ticket, al- 80 was reconiemnded ‘by ‘Governor Sleeper. sideibal: . ‘He ‘also“vecomemnded ‘evactmeitt of a ‘budget ‘law ‘under whith requests for approprigtions Would be ‘sarefally scrutinized'2 and ‘consolidated :“vetore to’ the ‘legislattire; laws to nfake uniform accounting’com- pulaory and laws to ‘place the state’s ‘purchasing with a centralized body or ency. ‘Construction of more improved high ways was recommended by the gov- ernor, who termed such enterprises “one of the best investments the state can inake.” In recommending continuance of the recently created state police force, which took the place of the netional guard when the latter organization was taken into the federal service, Governor Sleeper paid a tribute to the part Michigan boys have played in the war. He concluded with an ear- nest appeal to every citizen to help in obtaining suitable employment for returned soldiers, oes Mothers! =~‘ Watch the tongue of your young? Clean the clogged-up places!
