Special Feature

The Democrat is glad to an
nounce that it has added another
special feature to its columns in
the form of the weekly Sunday
school lesson. While 1t may not
give anything to the real student
Of the lesson. yet we do think it
will prove benefit to those who
have no library or literature on
the subject, or who do not have
access to the current Sunday
school publications. With us, the
feature is really an experiment
and we want your opinion on 1t.
II you think it adds to the value
of the Democrat let US know. and
if the greater number of readers
do not want it the weekly Sunday
school lesson will be discontinued
Our ambition is to make the paper
Of interest and educational value
to every reader, and to this end it
il necessary to have the co-opera-
ton Of the readers.

THE BEST YET
Throwing Dirt for w. F. &
N. in Beaver County

lD spite of the inclement wealth
er of the past two weeks, consid-
erable progress has been made on
the Wichita Falls road which is
buildin1 from Woodward to Lib
eral. Last week, the contractors
moved to Beaver county, near
Gate, and commenced grading for
the new road, which will probably
be the second in Liberal. Engin-
eer Hooker, who has been in
charge of the surveying work has
retired from that line of the work
and now is devoting his time to
the land interests of the company.
Mr.. Hooker was in Bea YER City
a short time ago, and had with
him, deeds which turned the town
site properties purchased by J. N.
Cooke of Oklahoma City, to
Frank Kell, General Manager of
the road. This would make it ap-
pear that those parties knew where
the road was going, as the pur-
chases of land we're made before
the surveyors went into Beaver
county. 1t is this week given out
that the new townsite to which
Beaver City will have to move,
is to be located six miles north and
three miles west of the present
town of Beaver City
The persistant rumor that the
Wichita Falls road is one OF the
Hawley lines has again come to
Liberal, and this time it will be
tested out by soma of the promi-
nent business men of the town.
The letter further indicates that
the Rock Island knows more about
the venture than has so far been
told to the general public. A re.
cent article in the State Journal
gives the impression that this is a
Hawley line, as does also a letter
received this week by j. E. Geor-

Auto Accident

Saturday evening on their re-
turn from Santa Fe, Dave Mackey
and T. B. Lindley of the Morton
Hardware Co. of Wichita had
what might have proven a serious
accident. At the Black farm just
north of town. the wind had rolled
a bundle of hog wire into the
road. They were coming down
the road at pretty good gait and
IL pom seeing the wire Mr.. Mackey
thought it was a thistle and tried
to run over it. The car skidded
around and turned oyer, throwing
both passengers out, Mr.. Lind
leo suffered a few minor bruises,
and Mr.. Mackey escaped without
a scratch.

ge, President of the First Nation
al Bank. He has decided to take
the matter up with the Hawley Of
fees in New York, as has been
suggested by Rock Island officials
in Chicago. Upon the reply to
this letter may rest much of the
future of the road in this country,
1t is almost certain that whatever
the Wichita Falls people ask from
the town of Liberal, within reason,
will be given them. While there
is q growing sentiment in this
country against bonding or giving
any bonus for the construction of
q railroad, yet we believe that
Liberal will come up with a good
bonus for a second line of rail-
road. 1t appears that we will
have plenty of time in which to
make offers to the Wichita Falls
people, as for the present they
have taken off their surveying
camps, and are now working the
construction contractors only.

Democratic Candidate For Congress
The Democrat believes that Mr..
Neeley has much the better argu-
ment to bring before the voters.
We believe the principles he adVo-
Gates meets with the unqualified
enforcement of large majority
of the voters of the Seventh Kan-
sas xllstricF. PFobably two&hirds
of the republicans in the district
belong to the progressive wing of
the party, and inasmuch as his OPP
ponent represents the reactionary
element, Mr.. Neeley is the logical
man to vote for. Examine his
platform. 1t is concise, clear cut
and uneauivocal. He takes an af-
frmative stand upon every ques-
tion of the day. He represents
live issues He is a young man
of tremendous energy, clean hab
its, irreproachable character and
with an unparalleled capacity for
hard work. In personal way
his onnOnent has no possible ad-
vantage. But this is not all. The
main thing for the voters of this
district, after all, is to decide
which of the two candidates would
be more useful to the district.
Other things being equal, which
of them could do more for his
constituents Taking this view
of the case, the argument is all on
the side of Mr.. Neeley.
The present congress is Demo
cratic. Unless nothing short of a
miracle takes place within the next
few months, the coming national
administration will be Democratic
also. Furthermore, Mr.. Neeley
is a warm personal friend of the
speaker of the house. He would
be in a position to accomplish
something and would have the
powerful aid and cooperation of
the majority. The district would
have a representative in fact as
we'll as in name.
Mr.. Martin, on the other hand,
would be powerless to do any con-
structive legislation. AS a mem
ber of the minority his hands
would be virtually tied. He would
be handicapped from the very be
ginning Of his congressional car
eer. Granting that he is a man OF
ability and influence at home, what
possible show could he have in a
Democratic congressl Looking at
the matter wholly as a business
proposition, and Gonceeding that
Mr. Martin is all that his friends
claim him to be, we contend that
the relative usefulness Of the two
men makes the election of Mr..
Neeley almost imperative, so far
as the interests Of Liberal and,
this district are concerned,

NEELEY FOR CONGRESS
Hutchinson Man Should Be
Elected

The fact that both the republi-
can and democratic candidates for
congress live at Hutchinson takes
out the element OF sectional cor
tention, in the coming election Of
a representative for this district.
1t may also be said that both are
men Of ability, character and
standing in their home community
This being the case, the coming
contest should be governed ex-
clusively by the issues involved in
the campaign.

Herman Fellner tells this story on
himself, according to the New York

Star. He was in Washington on bust
less recently and met three or four
friends on the street. After a mo-
ment's chat he beckoned them to
come with him. I'm OF the stun
said he, but l want to buy you each
a cigar"
They happened to be in front OF a
combination cigar and news stand at
the moment. Led by Mr.. Fellner, they
all trooped in. The clerk hurried to
the cigar case to wait upon them. Be

wishes the clerk had slapped a box

for from 5000 to 10000 persons usual
Iy attended the sales. Vendors could
be seen squatted behind strips of mat
ting, on which we're little piles Of
oranges, lemons, figs, vegetables,
grain, nuts, fish, dried 1ocusts and
other edibles, while cooks fried fritz
ters in oil over basins of glowing
charcoal. But all this is now changed.
Bullet, saber and shell have scattered
the peaceful inhabitants, and wars
horrors reign where but a few weeks
ago an Oriental and ~langourous peo-
pie pursued the even tenor of a way
to which they had been accustomed to
for centuries.
In the very center Of Tripoli one
was reminded that Rome, the uni
v~ersal, had been there. Here stands
a solid and ornate triumphal arch,
built of marble, once white, now dark.
ened and defaced by time, and recent
ly SCARED by the gaping marks of
war missiles. An inscription, still
legible, records that the arch was
erected by a quaestor under the joint
reign Of Lucius Aelius Verus and
Marcus Auerlius. 1t stands low, for
it is half buried in the accumulated
soil, and n of it's portals is debased
to the purposes Of a native cooper's
shop. But its carvings still preserve
something of their ancient beauty, and
the structure, standing there in the
heart of an alien city and civilization
during all these centuries, speaks OF
the power and prestige Of the days
Of the Caesars.
