COMMUNITY SP'IRIT ti t It requires many people to make up a community, andl in that community .t are many shades of religious and material beliefs. It stands in reason tnat I there is and will always he much variance of opinion. d Never are two people found whose views are identical on every subject, nir 'V(In on any subject. Somewhere th dividing line is found, and there t the community trouble begins. t, Each of us is prone to think himself right and all others wrong. It is u hunn nature and will always be so. t But there is a common ground upon which all may meet, b forum from r which the community spirit may be developed to the highest degree. That is the arena of free speech and public discussion of community affairs. Where many are gathered together and each gives his views is he sees thema, the majority is reasonably sure to arrive at a proper conclusion on any Subject concerning our local welfare. Such a courst mright be employed to good advantage in this community. C The craniums of our local people are filled with excellewr Ideas for our collective advancement. All that is required is an opportunity for them to be heard. I, 'T'OO MUCI STANDING PAT. The policy of "standing pat" may be an admirable one at times, but in the present inirial upheavel it is apparently being carried to extremes. I The steel strike is a fair illustration. .fudge Gary in the beginning assumed a sphinxlike attitude, refused to meet the labor people for a conference, and has since been standing pat. The strike leaders are in a defiant mood and are also standing pat. The public is holding the bag and is wondering if a time will ever come .hen it can let loose. The strikers may be right in tying up the great steel industry of the United States, or they may not--as you see it. .fudge Gary may be justified in his silent defiance, or he may not--that, .'so, according to your views. But one thing is certain. Between the twc eleiments a great interna' Iional industry is at a standstill, and it will require a long time to recover Ihe ground that is being lost. .fudge Gary should come down from his lifty perch and talk with his workmen. If he is too proud to meet them face to face he might delegate the task to one of his officials who is more democratic in his tastes and in hiis views. The steel (rust is powerful, we concede. But an aroused public opinion is even more powerful. Throw out the radicals and bring the more conservative brains of the t two contending forces together and something tang'ble and satisfactory -will result. t Standing pat in this instance is becoming a public calamity, and is breed ing bolshevism and national peril. s holding on a lit ed a. winter outfil secure a complet nfortable' Overco Reliable Suits, S. krcoats,--------- - e s, -- --- --- --- --- --- es, handier v Clothes. t: ttuuttttmm tttttusmuut uu rARREN EXPLAINS SHIP REPAIR ITEMI romises Sufficient Appropriatio. for Navy Yard Jobs.
