' f*liri)E A.N’h I'ROfiRESS It’s a shame the way folks like to .run dow'ji pr'de. It simply doesn’t get a square deal. To hear folks talk you'd think that pride could n'bt possibly be anything but the root of all evil and a very large, ugly blot on the ’scutch eon. Of cour.se it’s true that pride— the wrong kind of pride—is nn ugly thing, but at th»* same time it must be recognir.ed thai there is a sort of pride that leads to ambition and nearly vv- er.vthing'J|||UJ!a worth while. Meally, every man should s.»rve so ciety iMH-au.se of a con.^um I'g to serve. H.iwever, when the idealism is scraped away, one mu.st u.Hiially face the far't that it i.s only a 'hin veneer that is put on for appearain e.s. There are few people who ha'o a gen uine an<l deep-.seuted desire to serve and his own ability as a mouth-piece. Pride has come into disrepute be cause it is not property used, in itself it is a source of great good. The dan ger lies in the fact that it is such a powerful urge that it is • difficult fo keep it under proper contrdL The weak man may wdll beware of it. for unless he is careful, pride will go to his head and it will immediately start to swell. For the strong man, how ever; pride is an instrument of* infi nite power. After a)l, pride Is a source cf internal power, and as such it ihould be -kept inside.

We fall to see any reason at all. BAPTISTS TAKE DRY LAW STAND THE HAWLEY-SMOOT TARIFK BILL The Messrs. Hawley and Smoot haven't made a very big hit with the newspapers of the country. Their tar iff bill (bigger and better tariffs) isn’t getting much of a hand from the boys who do the columns for their daily bread. In fact, the press doesn't like the thing at all, and if the press in any measure at all reflects public (pinion, the bill is ;;oing 11, have a hard time of it.

The manufacturer says, “push and convpetition, in turn, is the root of most of the progress in the world. As long as a single concern has a “comer” on any one product, it is rea sonable to exjieot that the product will be furnished the public .at the highest possible price with the low est possible value. Supply competi tion,, on the other hand, and quality becomes the deciding factor. A beau tiful car is a source of pride to the owner—an unsightly one is a source of anything but pride. The manufac- turer realizes this Itnd competes with his rivals to supply the most beauti ful and the most lasting value at a price that is within the reach pf all. This is true as applied to other fields than the commercial. A true ar- riet is proud of his name and proud of his hrt. He wall not put hit name to inferior work, even if it it possible to get away, with it. Unless It meas- ■ree up to the fullest of his gemut and Us capacities, he prefers to see it destroyed rather tl^n sent forth bear ing the stamp of his name.

Everyone raises his tariff, all the manufacturers are hap py, and the public finds the cost of living going up. It would all be very nice and sweet and coxy for these United States if we could get away with it—but we can’t. Canada has already done her bit and other nations, we understand, are getting ready. If they haven't already prepared to reUliate, it erill simply be a mattdr of a few montha until they do.
