ference primaries, and popular elec- tion of United States senators. Each of these measures is neces- sary link in the chain by which the political and law making power wifi be taken from special privilege and
 lodged securely in the people and in representatives who really represent the people. Of the second group are laws which take from special privilege the grants
 that have been given. Among this
 type of laws are those establishing
 municipal ownership of public utili- ties, including gas, water, electric
 light, railroads, railways, telephones
 and telegraphs with payment of value to the present owners.
 Thus will the benefits of these great services be distributed among
 the people, thus will check be put to the building of a great aristocracy
 of money, composed equally of multi millionaires and their more intelligent servants, as the Roots, the Penrosea, the Baileys and their ilk. & Thus will another great obstacle between the people and their govern ment be removed. for the public ser vice corporation and the trust of to- day sare the great forces making for private monopoly of politics and gov ernment.
 | Governor Ba1dwin's generalized statement of what the Democratic party stands for will be found radi- Ically inclusive of all the great meas l ures of liberty which are now agitat- | ing the American people.
 Opposition to capitalization of power in Washington is a historic policy of the Democratic party. 1t 1 was established by Jefferson, and re-
 mains as true principle of action to- day as it was a hundred years ago. Properly construed this policy
 means that the Federal government | is to exercise no powers whatever
 that can be better exercised by the
 states, and that the states will en-
 trust teothesFederal government from
 time to time control over such mat
 ters as need control. but are beyond the power of the states.
 There must, for instance, be Fed eral regulation of presidential primar- ies, which have been shown in the
 Chicago convention to be beyond the control Of the states 4.
 There must also be Federal con-
 trol of: interstate commerce, since
 state control is plainly impossible. i It is also apparent that the. trusts cannot be controlled or regulated en-
 tirely by state action. There must be
 some measure of Federal authority
 over them
 l Not less historic is Governor Bald
 wins third principal, economy in
 government expenditures" Jefferson
 esta ablished this doctrine and the
 Democratic party has steadily adhered I to it.
 It carries the thought that govern I ment expenditures are not to be un- necessarily extended, and that ex- l penditures for necessary things m ust
 return dollars worth of value for each dollar contributed to governne ent l by the citizenship.

FIRsT.THINGs

One hundred and f1fty-five years ago witnessed an event that was the real
 beginning of the British empire in India. On the morning of June 23, 1757 Robert Give, a young East In- dia Company clerk, at the head of small band of Englishmen faced a
 native army of 68,000. Gives force
 was made up of about a thousand Bri-
 tish soldiers and 1000 sepoys. Against the Overpowering odds of twenty three
 to one. the English cause seemed help
 less. The Britishers, however, had
 the cruel tragedy of the Calcutta
 Black HOle'' to avenge, and they
 fought with a desperation and valor
 scarce eqnaHed since athe5 defense of the Creeks against the Persfans The
 battle was short and decisive Before the determined charge of the British
 CTS and Sepoys the Moslems broke and
 fled. The victory laid the foundation
 marked the beginning of English dom
 ination over 225.O00,O00 human beings and country among the oldest and richest in the world.
 Four hundred and fifteen years ago
 today ,on June A, 1497, John Cabot, a Venetian merchant who had for
 some time resided in England, laid the foundation for the ademoniation of the Anglo-Saxon. race on this con-
 tinent. It was on that date that he
 first saw, from, the deck of an Eng fish vessel. ."the dismal cliffs of Lab- rador.'' Through the early morning mists the new continent loomed bleak and bare. From that hour the for tunes of North. America were to be dominated by Anglo Cabot was the first to sight the mainland of the continent. This was over a year before Columbus. on third voy- age. discoyered the South American mainland. Cabot, who was accom-. panied by his young son Sebastian. landed and planted large cross with the standard of England, and by it's side the Venetian banner of St. Mark, in honor of the city of his birth From that time the continent belonged to England by right of discovery.

In his book "Vigilante Days
and Ways" Nathaniel Pitt Lang
ford, the author, tells this story of
a typical double tragedy of those
times:
One of the most memorable
fights in Nevada took place be-
tween Martin Barnhardt and Thos
Peasley. Pcasley was a man of
striking presence and fine ability.
He had been sergeant at arms in
the Nevada assembly. In quar-
rel with Barnhardt at Carson City
he had been wounded in the arm.
Both Barnhardt and Peaslev
claimed to be chief always a
sufficient cause of quarrel between
men OF their stamp. Meeting
Peasley one day after the fight,
Barnhardt tauntingly asked him
If he was as good a man then as
he was at Carson.
This, replied Peasley, is
neither the time nor place to test
that question.
Soon afterward while Peas1ey
was seated in the office of the
Ormsby House in Carson engaged
in conversation with some friends
Barnhardt entered and approach
ing him, asked, Are you heeled?'
For hea !en's sake. rejoined
Peasley, are you always spelling
for fight
Yes cried Barnhardt, and
without further notice fired his
revolver. The ball passed through
Peasley's heart. Seeing that he
had inflicted fatal wound, Barn
hardt fled to the Mushroom, closing
the windowed door after him.
PeasIey rose and staggered to the
door. Thrusting his pistol through
the sash he fired and killed Barn
hardt instantly. Falling back in
the arms of his friends, they laid
him upon billiard table.
Is Bernhard dead?' he whis-
pered as life was ebbing'
He is was the answer Civ
en- by half a dozen sorrowing
friends.
1t is well. Pull my boots off
and send fsr my brother Andy
and with these words on his lips
he expired"

To the patrons and those in
terested in the Mt Pleasant and
Pleasant Grove schools: We want
each and every patron to encour-
age the literary societies which
have been organized. We believe
that the patrons should attend
attend each meeting and encour-
age the young folks in building up
these societies. Let us all wake
up and take an interest and be
ready to do something that will
be elevating to the minds of the
community. Do not always have
too much business to neglect the
society. Always make it conven-
lent to come out every Saturday
eve and hear the program rem
dered by our young people. We
will do all we can to make you en-
joy yourselves. We believe our
patrons ought to take more inter
est. How can you expect your
children to take interest unless
you are interested? Your young
people have now organized So
ciety and you can show your ap
probation by attending and seeing
how they are progressing. We
can not expect our young people
to succeed unless Our patrons take
an active interest. We have no
ticed on several occasions that
there was not more than one pa
iron present. We want each and
every one to take more active
part and do all that is in his pow
er to make the efforts of your chill
dren success in our new socie-
ties. We believe it is the duty Of
every parent to do something that
will help to build up society.
Come out and help us. Your pres
ence will be appreciated. We will
continue to meet every 1st and Sd
Saturday evenings at Pleasant
Grove and 2nd and 4th at Mt
Pleasant. We earnestly solicit
every one to take al more active
part and attend regularly. We
ask the patrons, as the young
people have had energy enough
to organize, to attend and assist in
any way you can. Hoping for the
success of any undertaking that
might be attempted for the up
building of our home schools,
Very Respectfully,

Corn Contest with the Use of
Vil'ginia-Ca
Fertilizers
120 Bushels Per Acre

Largely through the efforts Of
Senator Hamp Williams, Mont
gomery county has moved up few
notches on the Agricultural Calen-
dars.
Master Ira Smith, age Is years,
a son of Mr.. lobe Smith, Silver
post-office, ten miles east Mt. Ida,
on South Fork of Washita river,
produced 100 bushels of corn on
less than one acre of ground. On
this plat Of ground. 6OxS0 yards,
he used only 300 pounds of fertili-
zers, which was manufactured by
the Virgin a-Carolina Chemical
Company, of Shreveport, La.
Ira Smith captured the State
prize, also, on the yield of corn per
acre, which means for him trip to
Washington, some money besides,
and an 8-16 disc harrow, offered by
John Deere PIow Co., of st. Louis,
Missouri, to the member Of the
Boys Corn Club producing the
greatest yield Of corn to the acre in
Garland and Montgo merry counties.
Some may doubt that Ira Smith
raised 120 bushels of corn on less
than one acre of ground, but Mr..
II. s. Mobley, q representative of
the U. s. Government, visited this
corn patch himself and made this
report: Plat Of ground 60xSO
yards; rumber of stalks, 1920, of
which 2,313 had two ears to the
stalk, and the rem ainder had one,
making total Of 1888 ears. An
average twenty ears weighed Is
pounds, making a total weight of
"a, 900 pounds, or 100 bushels (70
pounds to the busheD.
If all the boys in Montgomery
