THE LIVABLE TOWN
Why grt* ■»(• many country

the past to .years *‘..V towns in a
middle western *-late have de
crea*u*d irt |iopulatiiin. The rural
districts of another have lost 1 HO.
|«eople. Practically every
otlier middle western state has
suffered in the same wav. and it is
lielieved that shortly every state
east of the Rocky mountains will
face this condition. At the same
time every large city in these
states lia< shown a remarkable
gn»w*i« in population. This in
dicates that tiie young people of
the rural districts and small towns
are dissatisfied with conditions.
an«l gravitate to tin* larger towns
liecause of the pleasures and
l»etu*r living conditions they hope
to find there. Until we make our
small towns attractive we cannot
ho|«* t<* hold the young people.
There must l»e amusements for
them. We must stop the con
tinual nagging, the passage of
narrow laws, the constant fretting
of tile older |«eople who see in the
pleasures of youth eternal damna
tion and tin* end of morality.
Times change, and with them goes
tlie narrowness of puritanism. In
v ears gone by. dancing was con
•lemned. Now dancing is recog
nized as a healthful pastime. It

the young people desire to dance

stepped. where their grandfathers
and gran 1 mot tiers danced square
dances and the minute. Simply
because a fad is new. it is not
necessaril.v immoral. Encourage
tbe young people in all the harm
less amusements of the day, re
gaolless of what you did when
young or what your jiarerts
taught you to do. This is a new
generation we are trying to keep
in tie- small towns, arid youth de
tuateis its play. Be broad and
lile*n»l. Narrowness in teaching
«*r by law can only result in disre
spect for authority and law; in
making harder the lives of those
»ho don't think as we do or in
driving them entirely out of the
community and to those places
wliere they (an have some freedom
of thought and action.
THOUGHT RECORDS.
A tinfoil philosopher has said:
“The iuor«* I see of tnen the better
1 like d<>g*." As an example of
|.*gu\ that is a good epigram, hut
there i« more of cleverness in it
than «>f love for humanity. Man
i* alright in himself; it is only
alien lie reflects die thoughts of
oilier* liml lie falls to their level.
No institution or group of men or
a*»*M-iatioii is greater than the in
dividual. A religious or an ir
religious man: a democrat or a
rcpul.h.-an . a prohibitionist or an
anti prohibitionist, a suffragist, or
an anli’*uffragist is not great or evil
because he is a religious man. a
democrat, a prohibitionist or a
suffragist. He is great only in
that proportion as he is conscien
tiously hone*i in his convictions
or evil in that proportion as la
g a*s agaiust theui. Thus a man
win* Iteleives in his soul that a
principle is right, does wrong
when lie vote* for a law thai
would oppose that principle. Also
lie does wrong l»y voting for a
law which he intends later to help
nullify. Think for yourself and
do w i*al you think is i igtll. Thus
a man become* truly great. Do
not record tlie thoughts of others.
Thought is tla* light from heaven.
Consideration of Imdies of men
make* us hard ami narrow. Think
for VoorsHf and let others think
for lle-inselves. Don't In* a thought
record.
'1 In* national treasury continues
to roo le*hind about lhree-i|uarters
of a mi!li.>n dollars per day. By
inducing eari>- |*»y ments of in
come taxes and by urging prompt
remittances by collectors, the
treasury ilejiwiliuent made <t lionk
showing of * balance “f about
oil July I* I hat this
was a fictitious showing is now
proven by the fact that from the
first day of the new fiscal year,
the e\|>endituros exceeded the re
ceipts anu the balance dropped to
about 867,000,000 at the close of
business Saturday, July 24. On
the corresponding date two years
ago. with republican revenue and
appropriation laws in effect, the
balance was 8120.4.">3,000.
With the inventive brains of
the country at the disposal of the
government, we might well search
around for an ounce of preventive
gray matter and apply it to our
inland marine service. We are
doing a deal of yelping over the
Chicago horror, but what is being
done to safeguard the lives of
other people on other boats?
We have a few friends and we
have some enemys, and there are
some jieople who don.t care a rap
about us anyway. But we are
not shedding any tears, or losing
flesh, or turning gray hairs, be
cause every other man witn brains
is paddling around in the same
canoe.
Its a blasted shame that we
can never hear of these wonderful
bargains until some other fellow
has gobbled them up. Here's
the Wabash railroad, worth $200,
• hmi.ixm). sold the other day for
>18 000,000 and we didn't know
a thing about it until too late to
get in our bid.
If you like your home town.tell
everybody about it. But if you
don't like it, go to work and do
'omething to convert it into a
town that you can like. Perhaps
tlx* only thing the the town needs
may take mot in your own brain.
‘The federal income tax has
come to stay, “declares the Spring
field Republican. Yes. And if
democratic extravagance continues
while tariff duties are reduced, the
federal income tax will have to be
increased.
"I ought to have sense enough
to quit this blamed town,” said
the chronic knocker the other day.
M'e promptly offered to supply
the sense and the transportation,
but the sucker is still here.
The wedding in Greece.
•lulius (.easar Nayphe, the
Athenian, who lectures here dur
ing chautauqua, says that divorce
is practically unknown in Greece.
1 his may 'he due to the manner
in which they proceed with the
courtship. I he mothers there
have a lot to do with the wooing.
I he mother of the bridegroom
calls at the house of the daughter
in-law to tie. and inquires about
the girl: learns her mental qualifi
cations, her characteristics, and
her accomplishments.
The mother of the young lady
likewise calls on the young man’s
mother and learns his peculiarities,
his likes and his dislikes. And
then if all seems well to both the
parents and tiie young people, the
wedding ceremony is jicrformed.
And an elaborate affair it is, too!
Mr. Nayphe contrasts the wed
dings of the Americans with those
of the Orient also, as well as the
manners and customs of the jjeojile
generally. L ndoubtedly no one
bas ever appeared in Loup City
wearing, as Mr. Nayphe does.
I hose elaborate and heavily em
broidered robes of his native land,
lie tells bis story in a unique and
unusually fascinating way. It's
interesting and helpful.

the latter part of last week. Veal j
calves were in active demand and firm
ly held at $7.00(y 10.00, and there was
about a steady’ deal in bulls, stags
etc. The wet weather was an unia j
volatile feature of the Stocker and
