TWO KINDS OF PEACE
Practically every one is talking or thinking of the fu
ture peace of the world. That seems to be the dominant
subject upon which the human mind dwells. But there is
another peace that is just as important and far easier to
maintain. That is the peace of the home community and
of the home itself. If all peoples would begin by earnestly
endeavoring to inaugurate a reign of peace and harmony
in the local communities the human heart would soon dis
card the feeling of greed and antagonism and discord that
creates strife among the nations of the earth.
That would be real peace, the peace that glorifies and
enliughtens the human race. Today we are blazing the
path that leads us through the doubts and uncertainties
of another year. Let us join hands in the beginning, that
all in this community may travel in peace, harmony and
safety to the end.

A REIGN OF DANDITRY
Before exhausting all of its energies in attempting to
restore normal conditions and a prospect of peace
throughout the world it would be well for the government
to devote a little time and effort toward suppressing the
reign of banditry that is sweeping over our own land.
In the halcyon days of the "wild and wooly west,"
whe.i bad men thrived and the six-gun ruled, respectable
citizens found it necessary to band themselves together as
vigilance committees in order to suppress lawlessness
when the courts and the sheriffs and the marshals failed.
They took the law into their own hands, decorated con
venient trees with the worst of the desperadoes, and serv
ed notice on others that their health would be best con
served by a hasty departure.
The vigilante methods were rather crude, but highly
effective, and met with the popular approval of respecta
bility and decency. Of course we would hardly recom
mend a similar course to the law abiding ct'zens of our
large centers of population where crime flourishes and is
on the increase, but surely some effective action will soon
become necessary if we are to prevent this country from
falling into the hands of an element that has no regard
for anything but their own will. It rather peeves a coun
try editor to pick up a city paper day after day and find it
Tilled with mail and bank robberies, murders, holdups, ab
ductions, beatings, thuggery, and similar methods of pass- I
ing away the time.
With such vast populations to draw upon there ought
to he at least an occasional departure from the regular
routme of news.

Prominent financiers assures us that 1922 will witness
a revival of business booms throughout the country. That'
is good, very good, and fills us with glee. Let's celebrate!
Now, gents, all together-wait until it comes!
f atnother war doesn't soon brteak out somewhere, or
the W:whiwdoTn conference doesn't blow up from spontan
ous~ tnmhustion, or the mayor of some wicked city doesn't
get re'ligion, we may have to fall back upon the good old
:'ustom of pulling off dog fights in order to vary our form
of excitement. Just now it is a dull life-between mur-;
derUs and1 holdups.

tain number, he ra tojnbe44 hearing
that ghosts were supposed to occupy
vacant chairs at a banquet, and being
very superstitious, ie scratched his
his wooly head In pdrplexity.
Suddenly his -grotosquo;features lit
up as an inspiration came to him.
"Ghosses don't sit to the table, long
as dis nigger rules the 'roost" he niut
tered, ad he left the house, for early
that morning he saw two hunters ride
through the plantation en route tp
the swamp nearby and now withgut
asking permission from either Master
or Mistress he ran off and invited
these men to dinner: Greatly surpris
ed were the hunters, but thinking
that the invitation came from the
Master of the place, they readily ac
cepted it and a few minutes .later,
just as the guests' had taken their
places at the table, the dining room
door was thrown wide open- and Uncic
Frank in a loud voice shouted, "walk
in gentlemen and be seated." His
master although displeased by the in
terruption, arose and shook hands
with the men with whom he had a
slight acquaintance, and then present
ed them to his aristocratic guests, but
the lady of the house was indignant,
and as she glanced at those muddy
boots on her Brussels Carpet, would
have reproved Uncle Frank severely,
had not Aunt Easter who stood be
hind her chair whispered: "Hush,
some have entertained angels un
awares."
These two men ignoring the social
gulf that divided them from the other
guests, laughed and tolk jokes on each
other, and although their "common
garb" was sadly out of place amid the
broadcloth and satin around that
table, their presence really added
pleasure to the feast.
In the avange glow of a winter
twilight the last of the guests depart
ed, then the host, called for his saddle
horse 'Pete', and he too rode away.
Out into the byways and hedges he
rode, among those less fortunate than
himself, and many a pale face bright
ened, and faint heart took courage,
when old Pete and his rider drew rein
at the gate.
Through the length and breadth of
the South the pendulum swung. Men
from the humble walks of life, by hard
work and thrift grew prosperous and
independent, but the erstwhile owner
- f thousands of acres of. land, and,
hundreds of slaves to tend them, faced
financial ruin. Among the latter was
the host of that Christmas banquet.
In the sixties he had staked his all on
the South's chances-and lost. Fin
ancial difficulties arose so thick and
fast, that hundreds of acres of land,
silverware, carriages and horses
n ust be sacrificed to stay the final
crash, even the saddle horse shared
the fate of the others.
The dark winter (lay had brighten
ed towards its close and the western
sky was aflame, as earth offered up
her evening sacrifice. Restlessly the
Master walked the length of the long
piazza, weary and discouraged, when
.i lone horseman rode up to the door
mnd handed him a note from one of
the men who had dined on Uncle
lrank's invitation, offering the loan
> a large amount of money, to use
In this emergency, and a postscript
dded that the other man had bought
.he sadkle horse for him and would
moon send him back, and thus "Old
.ete" came home, and remained with
he family for many years, the last
ink in the chain of the golden past
lie last reminder of "The Lost
"ause."
