Consequently a mad clamor rises to the peace * council for immediate remedial action. The sug- gested remedies are as fantastic as the disease. One proposes a ring of buffer states about the infected area. But the peoples of the proposed states are already wavering. in ‘allegiance to the old order. Military circles once urged the formation of an “iron ring” of bayonets and boycotts to be main- tained until Bolshevism should subside. Revolts in the ring itself ended the discussion:of this pro- posal. : A third plan is ‘the reverse of the «second. Hoover and others proposed to “feed the beasts” until growling stopped. But even the vast wealth of America is inadequate to feed to social satisfac- tion the hundreds of millions now in revolt. Bread, bayonets and barrier nations are equally futile to hold back Bolshevism. It demands pro- phylactics not quarantines. It must be fought here, not in Russia. It must be backfired against not beaten out. j Bolshevism is a desperate appeal toa new tyranny. -.It.is an explosive outbreak of the forces ‘of. social. progress. It must be met by using, not -by.confining and repressing ,those forces. \ “sWhen ‘old-nations crumble and new ones, are CIATED PRESS lusively entitled to the use § Dai t \ on the market today? If there were one unques- tionably “best” make, the others would be soon driven out of business. There is no BEST make— but there are many makes each of which is BEST. for some particular purpose, for some individual buyer. So it is with every commodity from auto- mobiles to safety pins. ; To bring together the individual buyer and the erwise| article which is unquestionably BEST for HIM— ed/in the particular circumstances in which he indi- vidually finds himself—that is the function of the modern merchant. No mail order house can perform this function. MODERN BUYING depends primarily on a per- sonal relationship—on individual seléction. The home merchant SERVES—therefore he DESERVES. He continually stands ready to aid you in your most critical demands. In return he deserves your support; your patronage in-the case/of less critical purchases. Again the lesson is clear! ; It is to your own selfish best interest to give your wholehearted support to the home merchant. But more than that, as a HOME TOWN BOOSTER and a HOME TOWN BUYER, you are best serving your COMMUNITY and your COUN- TRY. ) If Columbia is the ocean’s gem, Columbia’s gems are her cities. As Cornelia, the Roman ma- tron, pointed to her children, so might America point to her cities arid exclaim, “There are my jewels!” Each thriving, prosperous town is an ornament to the nation. And the citizen who contributes to his city’s prosperity is contributing most to:the, nation’s prosperity. ; : We.all of us want Bismarck to be a credit to itgelf-and an honor: to the country. = “Uphen-Jet us Pise with will, and ROOT: for ‘Bismarck, SERVE Bismarck, FIGHT FOR Bis- marck, and BUY IN Bismarck. Thus and thus only can we best promote our own, our city’s future and our country’s welfare. ‘ WHEN YOU GO HOME When you go home today get out your hoe and rake and go over those garden beds of yours. This thing of cultivation is more or less spoken of by garden writers, but not half enough. ; Indeed every city paper’ should carry in’ the weather forecast a note like, this: showers, fol- lowed by the hoe. _ Nee : ‘A geed'‘or a.itender’ seedling ccafinot prosper. being born, when millions are dying and social caste-is- disappearing, when property values fluc- _ tuate.and -flicker out by billions, all institutions are fluid, and. must be molded into higher forms . of they will dissolve in chaos. Within these dissolving institutions'there is a tremendous, and as yet by no means blind, dyna- maic force seeking greater freedom and .a better world. The forces of unrest, aspiration, hope and desire for better things form the mightiest power for-good ever released upon this gobe. Left to itself, this: power may become a destructive explo- sive, Harnessed tp the machinery of reconstruc- tion it will build a better world. el The problem of fighting Bolshevism is the problem of rightly using these forces. Directed ‘by passion, despair, hunger and rage;they will wreak destruction as they have always, wreaked it in the past. “Tf labor’s demand for greater power, and re- wards in industry is recognized through co-opera- tion with the unions, if great housing programs ‘substitute cities of better homes for slums, if un- employment is fought with shorter hours, aboli- tion of child labor and construction of; great public works, if profiteering is checked, co-operation en- couraged, education fostered, and-all is done as part of a democratic rebuilding of society, we shall build the foundation of a wall against Bolshevism. The army that defeats Bolshevism will enlist, the whole community in a crusade against evil, command the sacrifice and solidarity that won. the war against Prussianism. Utilize the splendid re- volt against injustice that is prevalent throughout the world, and harness all the magnificent. energy of war to a fundamental program of social prog- Tess. ; THE MODERN WAY What is the MODERN WAY of buying? “By catalog and parcel post,’ some apostles of the mail order business will claim. But stop and look at the facts. , Take two recently perfected commodities in general demand. Take two articles sold indisput- ably inthe modern way. Take the phonograph record, and the automobile. How does the modern purchaser buy records? He goes in person to an established local shop, meets a salesman whom he knows personally, in ‘whose judgment and guarantee he trusts. He sits _ comfortably in a private room, while the records are played for him, patiently and repeatedly. He ‘notes the lasting merit of many records. He chooses not blindiy by catalog number, but what pleases him personally in the actual hearing. That is satisfactory buying. It is thrifty buy- ing. It is the MODERN WAY of buying. And take the automobile. The satisfied car owner is the one who investigated personally be- fore he bought. He examined each make. Oblig- ing demonstrators took him and his family out for trial rides. He was.personally shown thie best points of each car. When he finally bought, he hought the car which most completely satisfied when it.is sifting its throat on the razor‘edge of a clod. 2 | fs stan ie The. baby sprout; trying to push-up from its grave ‘into its brief but: fruitful heaven, needs a St.-Peter at the gate to prepare the; way.

He gave no hint of his own attitude—doubtless be- cause he was unable to act intelligently from that distance. Here are‘two illustrations of the awkwardness of arms’ length administration. In both cases If Postmaster General Burleson were an able ad- ministrator, he would never have permitted the New England telephone cgntroversy to get out of hand sufficiently to tie up'the entire service, But Mr. Burleson is a-failure at administration, wheth- er of the wires or of the mails.
