On the Issue of Americanism There Can Be No Compromise NIN \\ NN THE RED--- HEADED ONE NEEDS A SAFETY PIN WN a sh ‘ | AT YOUR COUNTRY PLACE‘ COMMON SENS BY DR. FRANK CRANE (Copyright, 1919, by Frank Crane) How shall we praise Common Sense, and | to what shall it be compared? For its pos m is beyond lands and treasure, and its value more than fine gold. It is like the cosmie power that streams from the sun, and holds the planets in |their courses. Its strength runs thru all souls, as elec- tricity permeates all matter. No clod is without its atomic forces, and no mind is devoid of latent Common Sense. It is the motive and final test of all jreforms, it resolves at last all wars. It is the balance wheel of creation, intent of God, the mind of destiny. | Theories crumble, facts lose their potency, Science changes, enthusiasms wane, love grows cold, laws and oms cease, the | world and all that therein is, and men and all that men cre und imagine, pour into the chasm of but Common Sense abides. Before ever the earth was, its seat was in the bosom of the Eternal, and when the learth shall be no more, it shall still dwell amid the thoughts of the Almighty.

The works of our hand and brain that have it shall endure, and those that have it not shall perish. It is the food of success, the breath of energy, the blood of efficiency, the estab- lisher of laws, and the executioner of follies, It is inevitable as the steps of doom. It judges all things, even God. Having it not, passion fades, or becomes septic. It is the universal creeds, It is the court of last resort, supreme over) , all supreme courts. It is the consuming microbe that at la: | devours all superstitions, fatuities, plots, and | venerable frauds. It gnaws, hollows, and destroys all out- worn institutions, as the worms the ancient tree, When hate or privilege or injustice or any connivance against human welfare succeeds and flourishes, Common Sense waits and smiles, and in the fullness of time breathes re gone. If God be the Father of All, Common Sense is the Mother of All, and at last she has her way, with mankind, with the virtues and vices of men, with their fears and ambitions, with their States and their smallest doings, with their hells and heavens, with the demons they dread and the deities they adore. rust, corroding all The Fruits of Bolshevism TREATMENT OF THE PRESS A decree of Lenine 1917, pre the Russian 5 and his associates, dated Dee.

The business man grasps his books and his accounts $0 firmly that he drives into the bushes of greed. : The professional man often clings to the ethics of his profession with a grip that approaches fanaticism. The athlete pursues his ideals with a persistence that leads to “going stale.” ' They have no flexibility, no ease, no smoothness, Folks don’t like to deal with a person or an institu- tion that is apparently on a strain. They like to feel that there is a certain freedom of action about the transaction. From a purely commercial standpoint it is good busi- ness to develop gracefulness instead of rigidness.

Foreign Minister Bauer, of Austria, gives us the startling information that the people of the Tyrol love liberty above life. Did this fondness for liberty develop after the fall of the Hapsburgs?.
