THE SERVICE IDEAL '
Jfrs. Sherman, president of the
General Federation of Women’s Clubs,
•suggested this three-fold ideal for
these .clubs in an address the other
Aay: Good citizen hip. world peace,
and service to the community.
The women’s clubs used to holtf per
gonal culture as their prominent aim,
but now they seem to have gone on
to the idea of service.. This is the
spirit which we need in all the com
munity organizations. If they merely
work for their own benefit, for their
*wn personal development, then their
function is too narrow and their in-
tjtience curtailed. They need to set in
motion those activities that shall lift
the whole population to a higher
level of efficiency and character.
FINE FOR P. C.
The heartiest congratulations are
in order to the R. 0. T. C. unit of the
Presbyterian College in winning first
place last week in the annual contest
at Camp McClellan.' Col. Glasgow’s
boys believe in repeating a good thing
ibr in 1922 they captured this same
honor, and for t^e past two years,
made creditable showings in third and
fourth place.
The honor that has come to the
College is a coveted one and stands
out conspiciously as a valuable adver
tisement for the institution. Es
pecially is this true, when one takes
in- consideration the large number of
-competing Colleges, some-of them of
an entire military nature, and prac-
tk»IJy all composed of larger student
bodies. To excel in such a field of
4cmpetition is an accomplishment of
which to be proud. To Col. Glasgow,
the efficient head of the military
vnit, and to his associates, congratu
lations are in order on the fine shtnv-
ings that are repeatedly being made
by their men at Camp McClellan.
and he could be counted upon take
a bold and uncompromising stand for
the principles in which he believed.
He figured conspicuously in the
Democratic party as the “Peerless
Leader,” but the most noteworthy ex-
=■ ample of his political strength was in
the 1912 Democratic national conven
tion when he made possible the elect
ion of that , macthless statesman,
Woodrow Wilson, to the Presidency
of the United States. A delegate
from Nebraska at that time, he was
instructed for Champ Clark, but when
he saw that Clark had entered into
an alliance with sinister interests, he
declared himself released and announ
ced Woodrow Wilson as his second
choice. The story of that memorable
occasion is too well known to need be
re-told—it followed the leadership and
judgement of ‘“The Great Commoner”
and put Wilson at the head of our na-
titm during the trying time of the
World War. God seemed to have **
hand in all of the deliberations of
that convention.
Many people differed with Mr.
Bryan on vartous views, but no one
ever doubted his sincerity. He was a
clean man, and in the long period of
years in. which he stood before the
public eye, not once was a finger of
| scorn pointed at him, hot once was he
charged with graft or suspicion, not
once was his character assailable or
the intimatiop made evfcn by his
worst enemies that ho could be
bought *or controlled.
Mr. Bryan was a devout Christian,
giving to the world an, example of a
stinless and incorruptib c life. He
put God and the Bible first, with
these two weapons, he challenged and
uncompromisingly fought Darrow and
the agnostics in the celebrated Day-
ton case which probably had some
thing to do with his death. He car
ried his religion with him everywhere
he went, and he fought in and cut of
season for his religious convictions.
He went down to death i« a militant
crusade to preserve and maintain that
belief and to point the world to God
as its only hope. His name will live
forever. He fought a good fight, anT
sorrow dwells in the hearts of millions
who feel a personal loss in his sudden
passing.
Human minds’ cannot understand
the ways and purposes of the Divine.
•Enjoying the best of health, and hav-
ir^g just waged the fight of his life.
Mr. Bryan was called quickly from
a useful life. It looks as though his
work was finished and that an all
wise Providence quietly transplanted
him in the twinkling of an eye inlc
His kingdom. Mr. Bryan is gone
from this earth and its troubles, but
his influence will remain behind to
bless all who would follow his exam
ple.
: En Passant:
* ~ W. W. H.
In the passing of Bryan the coun
try has becn called, upon to give up
one of its greatest and purest men.
We have some wonderful laws. A
man works hard all day in a manufac
turing plant and upon coming out to
get a refreshing cold drink is charged
with a luxury tax.
One hears much about the pursuit
of happiness, but it takes all the time
of most of us to keep even with our
bank accounts.

It takes a long time for some
things to happem—hut a bad check
comes back right now. ,
Some one asks, “what age people
would like to be.” Apparently the
old people want to be younger and
the young people want to be older.
It is claimed that chilcfren ought to
be taught to tjiink, but there is a
large number of pedple who feel that
would be dangerous.
We are all urged to drink of the
fountain of knowledge, but the major
ity seem to prefer the soda fountain.
The chase for the dollar is said to

be dangerous, but- rf we do not chase
it to a certain extent, our creditors
will chase us.

It’s a funny world. The doctors are

the politicians want to know what to

SUPPRESSION OF THOUGHT
Much has been said during recent
years about the alleged suppression
•f free speech. li will impress the
ordinary person, however, that peo
ple are usually able to say what they
aramt to without interference from the
law. Of course, if a man gets.up on
a soap-box and urges his hearers to
rise to overthrow the government by
lurce and violence, he has gone over
tfce line where free speech must end.
It will be alleged, however, that
there is suppression of thought, if not
to h««l means, at least by the
general pressure of social and husi-
mbs opinion. Many editors, it is of
ten declared, really never say what
they think about things. Ministers,
n said, are often forced to keep
silent about things they feel ought to

wafly, are compelled to yield to public

FLAG ETIQUETTE
When Dewey’s fleet returned to
New York after the Battle of Manila
Bay, a Swedish janitor in a large
department store hoisted an Ameri
can flag with the Union down and
flew the signal of distress throughout
the celebration. A patriotic citizen
should make no such mistakes as this.
Since a numbet of business houses of
the city have recently purchased flags
to place in front of their buildings oh
special occasions, it would be well for
us to take a course in “flag etiquette.”
In displaying flags or bunting the
following customs should be observed:
1. The proper time for raising or
putting out a flag is sunrise or after,
never before.
2. The flag should be lowered at
sunset.
3. A flag should never be allowed
to trail or lie on the ground and
should always be taken in during
stormy weather.
4. When the flag is raised at cere
monies, everyone present should
stand, face the flag and salute with
the right hand raised to the fore
head. -
5. When the flag passes tn parade,
spectators should stand, men and
boys with hats removed.
6. When any other flag is display
ed with our National colors. Old
Glory must always be on the right
or above.
7. As a sign of mourning the flag
should first be hoisted to the top of
the mast for a moment, then lowered
half way and left half-mast. At sun
set the flag should first be hoisted
to the top of the mast before lower
ing to the ground.
8. The flag should never be used
for a cover or in any position where
other objects are placed on it.
9. Flags should always be treated
with reverence and carefully put away
when not in use

Sixty days of the year are known
as dog days, but along the automobile
roads every day is a hot dog day.
Apparently the only way to prevent
people being run over at the railroad
crossings, is for the trains to stop
until the automobiles get by.
Formerly arduous suitors used to
serenade the objects of their adora
tion with lovelorn ditties, but now
they" get out in front of the house
and say “C’mon” by blowing their
automobile horns.
New houses are going up on all

BADLY RUN-DOWN 11
Lady Was Very Depressed on
Account of Poor Health.
Mn. H. S. Miller, of Spindale.
N. G., says: “Five years ago 1
was very much 'run>down in
health. I would give out with the
least exertion. At times I would
have to go to bed.
“I read of Cardui. . . My hus
band got me a bottle and en
couraged me to take it. 1 was
almost a skeleton, 1 was so thin. 1
was run-down and my general
health was very poor. This was
very depressing and 1 was to low
spints. My husband had to help
me around. He did all he could for
me and had me keep up Cardui.
“1 continued taking the medicine
for several months and it was
wonderful the improvement 1
made. I gained over twenty
pounds in weight, and I felt so
i much better besides. This gain
was permanent, too. 1 have never
lost it and my general health has
been much better since 1 took
Cardui.”
