WHAT DOES A MAN OWE TO
HIS TOWN?

- - -
What does a man owe to his
town?
He owes this duty to himself
and the town. to own part of it.
Ever so small a lot, if he can't
own a big one. A forty-foot
front, if he can do no better.
But he should own a part of the
town. That gives him a stake in
it.
That man who owns a home
in the town never calls his town
1T. When we speak of it,
whether it be London or Tai
Holt, New York or Waikiki, he
says VELOUR town. And he
has a right to. He is a stock
holder, partner.
More than that, when he
owns a piece of ground, farm or
town lot, he has a stake in the
EARTH. He is a citizen of the
universe. His property extends
from the birthstone to the stars.
Even now they. are disputing
concerning the right of an air
ship to sail through the air over
a mans house without the own
er's permission. The very
thought is enough to make a man
feel chesty. And with good
cause.
"A man who owns his home
begins to study his ticket six
weeks before election day. He
scrutinizes every name on it, and
looks up the candidates record.
1t is the man who can tie up his
real and personal property in a
handkerchief that shuts his eyes
and votes the ticket the boss
gives him without unfolding it.
"A man owes it to his town to
boost it, in public on all occasions,
and at all times. The correction
of it's failings and faults are for
the privacy of the home circle.
A man who would thresh his boy
on the front steps of the court
house ought to be whipped out of
town. The citizen who welcomes
the stranger by telling him what
government we have, what a |
corrupt set of officials misrule
the town; how the town lags be-
hind the age in all matters of
progress and development, that
it is a dead town and will be so !
long as certain men rule it, is an
undesirable citizen.
When a man tells you that
what his town needs is a dozen
first class funerals. he may be
correct. But HE should be the
first buried.
"A man owes it to his own
town to shout its advantages
from the housetops. The entire
registry lists should be the pro-
motion committee. If necessary,
put binders on the visitor, and
let him see, but what you want
him to see. When he asks what
chance poor man has in town, !
tell him the truth. Tell him the
poor man is the only one who has
a chance. And that is no joke. !
Show him the beautiful homes of
the man who came here with a
capital of working hands and
thinking brains. Tell him the
story of the man who began with
Camas Prairie chronicle. [volume] (Cottonwood, Idaho) 1901-1917, 1910-12-30

day wages. Tell him you think
there should be a law compelling
the poor man to give the rich
man a handicap when they come
into competition with each other,
so as to give the rich man a
chance. 1t is penniless boys like
John Rockefeller, Andrew Carne-
gle, Phil Armour and that class
who backed the rich mems sons
OF their poverty-laden days, clear
off the campus. Robert j. Bur

HE PLANS LONG FLIGHT.
Curtiss Will Make Trip From Albany
to New York City.

New York, May 25.-Glenn H. Cur
tiss will attempt tomorrow the most
ambitious flight over the water that
has ever yet been essayed in an aero
ton offered by the New York World
he will try to fly from Albany to New
York with one stop, although two
stops are allowed.
For the last six months Curtiss has
been maneuvering for the prize of
$4,000 offered by the World for a
flight from New York to Albany, or
reverse, with one stop.
Recently he has been conducting
experiments to determine the ability
of his latest model to light on the
water and float without upSetting.
These tests are il themselves unique,
for although other aviators have
alighted in the water, it has never
been by design.
Without air tight compartments,
necessary to sustain the aeroplane up
on the water Curtiss believes he would
fly from Albany to New York in one
lap. Prudence debating safeguards
against accident, however, he has felt
it necessary to equip himself with life
buoys, and the weight OF the life buoys
necessarily deducts from what would
otherwise be his available supply of
gasoline.
Curtiss will start from Albany, prob
ably about o'clock Thursday morn
ing W6dCn6r 1dNOT. ne
expects to break his flight somewhere
in the neighborhood of Poughkeepsie.
The distance by rail is 143 miles and
it is estimated, that allowing for cut
offs which Curtiss will make across
bends of the river, $50 miles will be
an accurate measurement. The long
est cross-country fight officially re-
corded is 125 miles, made by Paulhan
on April IS, 1910, from Orleans to
Arcis-Sur-Aube.
In his interrupted flight from Lon
don to Manchester, a distance of 1S5
miles, Paulhan flew from Hampstead
Heath, London, to Litchfield, 1T
miles in the first leg of the journey,
and finished with a spin of IS miles
the next morning.
The machine which CurtisS will use
in his present attempt carries an eight
cylinder motor developing fifty horse
power and has a spread of surface
which he says is less than one-half of
any other biplane now in use.
If he starts his flight early in the
morning and stops for gasoline in the
ighborhood Of Poughkeepsie, he
should finish in the afternoon of the
same day. If he begins at night and
stops before dark at Poughkeepsie he
will not resume until the next morn

Since as early a date as 1901 the

Russian finance. The manufacture
and sale of spirits have passed through
many and varied regimes in the en-

drunkenness and to promote the health
and economic welfare of the peasantry
has always gone the idea of increasing
the resources of the treasury. The
present system. of government monop-

plan for an experimental monopoly.
