Adopt Resolutions

The members of The Sunday
School at Browns School House on
Sunday afternoon adopted strong
resolutions not 10 vote for any man
for any office, who will stoop 80
low as to use whiskey or money to
influence voters This is a step
in the right direction and one that
should be followed by every christ
ian voter not only in our county,
but everywhere. The ballot should
be purified and it is only a question
of time We hope until it will be

Sensible Resolutions

During the heat of political pas
sion all ut three years ago certain
politicians, in derision, characteriz,
cd as "dill Billies" those who had
cast aslIr party harness and, by fu-
sill, we placing wholesome laws
on our statute books. Because of
the ppl cl-s then favored by the Flu
sionis,e the statewide laws were
saved; and by later fusion the
Nuisalct law was enacted last all
to beco.ne effective March 16t The
words J. trnde as terms OF contempt
were al once considered as embIpms
of honor and the Original Order Of
Hill Billies was soon organized, At
their last meeting the subject OF
-pletto,.s,1 was up for discussion and
the following unique resolutions
were adopted. Read with care the
SEVENTH resolution:
"Fm.t-Platforms are good or bad in pro-
portion to who builds them, and the kind
Of stuff they are made of. Men that build
platforms ought to be master workmen, and
it must be OF good material, and have truth
for its foundation.
"Second-There be several kinds of plat
forms, viz, a speakers stand, stage in a
theater, place to clean hogs on, place
between cars for people to get aboard, and
EASILY but mostly, a contrivance made by
politicians to get in on.
"Third-A politician is a fellow that is
hunting for Office, and if he makes plat
form it will generally look good and appear
to be sound so as to cause the fellows who
DO the voting, to holloa themselves hoarse
and throw up their hats in the air in admi-
cation OF the great platform.
''Fourth-Platforms are great convenien-
ces in politics and the people are very much
prone TO believe in them and think they
help make them, but they don't, for these
things come ready made like hand-me.d down
clothes, and are cut and made up in the
yet abodes of the fellows who want off,
ces and are brought out on the day of the
convention aud put on and are declared by
sham IN he ShooSt At
''Fifth The right sort of platform, and
the right sort of man on it, is a mighty
aice thing, but political platform amt to
be de- ended on, unless the fellow that's on
il will stand hitched, without being set up
with.
4'Sxth-After all, there is more in the
saan' who gets in than the thing called
sthe platform by and on which he got in. ,
"Seventh-We Hill Billies had rather
crust good man on sorry platform, than
bad man On good platform, and we
hereby say aid depose that we are not 60
ing to vote for fellow just because his plat
form reads right, but we want to see what
sort of man stands on it. Politicians may
take due notice here

Why Lightning
Strikes Trees

That trees are the obi CTS most
frequently struck by lightning is
the observation of Mr.. F. G Plum
mer, of the United States Forest
Service. AS the roots of tree ex
tend into the damp ground, tree
is more likely to be struck than any
other tall object. A trees form is
almost ideal for conveying electricity
from the air to the earth.

WILSON'S INDEPENDENCE DAY
ADDRESS.

Philadelphia, July Following is
the address of President Wilson in
this city today:
Mr. Chairman and Fellow Citizens:
We arc assembled today to celebrate
the 13Sth anniversary of the birth OF
the United States. suppose we can
more wildly realize the circumstance
es of that birth standing on this his
toric spot than it would be possible
to realize it anywhere else.

was written in Philadelphia. 1t was
adopted in this historic building. !
have just had the privilege of sitting
in the chair of the great man who pre-
sided over those whose deliberations
resulted in it's adoption. Here my
hand rests on the table upon which
the declaration was signed. We can
almost feel we are in the visible and
tangible presence OF a great historic
transaction.
But have you ever read the declar,
alton of independence" When you
have heard it read, have you attend
ed to its sentences? The declaration

dependence was document prelim-
mary to war. 1t involved a vital piece
of business, not piece of rhetoric.
And ii you will get further down in
the reading than its preliminary pass
ages, where it quotes about the rights
of men. you will see that it is a very
specific body of declarations concern
ing the business of the day, not the
business of our day, for the matter
with which it deals is past-the bust
ness of revolution, the business of
1916. The declaration of independ

less VIC can append to it a similarly
specific body of particulars as to what
we consider our liberty to consist Of
Liberty does not consist in mere

REPUBLICAN COUNTY TICKET.

The republican county convention
displayed much wisdom in the sclec-
ton of candidates for the different
and in approving the splendid candi-
dates elected at the primaries. The
gentlemen chosen Oh convention day
are well worthy the support of the
party with whom they affiliate, and
the entire ticket is considered to be
one OF the best ever placed before the
voters OF Crawford county.
TIL gentlemen are well known cit.
liens and have high standing, not
only in the community in which they
reside, but over the entire county,
and each candidate has expressed his
willingness and intention to make a
thorough canvass of the voters be-
tween now and the November cleo
ton.
Mr.. p. J. Klinker. for state repre-
sentative, is so well known that only
a brief outline is necessary at this
time. AS is well known, he is grad
uate of the Iowa State university and
served the county as attorney for ten
years, during which time he convict
ed many criminals and also saved the
county from much unnecessary liti-
cation. AS a representative of
people at Dcs Moines during the SEES
sions of the legislature, he will no
doubt display the same conservative
methods shown while county attOr-
ney. His election is assured.
For auditor, Mr. M. c. Nielsen re-
ceived the nomination at the June pri-
mary. Mr.. Nielsen is a very capable
young man, a splendid penman and an
accurate accountant. His ability to
handle the affairs Of the auditors Of
flee is unquestioned. Mr.. Nielsen
comes in daily contact with many of
the voters of Crawford county while
acting in the capacity of manager of
the Hotel Denison, where he has been
employed ever since his father, Mr..
Thomas Nielsen, took over the hotel.
He expects Ito make thorough can
vass of the county and earnestly work
for his election.
No candidate ever placed before the
voters has met with such approval
as has the announcement of Mr.. Al
bert Helsley for county clefn, and,
contrary to statements made, he eS-
poets to enter tho campaign and make
a thorough canvass of the county in
the interests of his candidacy. For
years Mr. Helslcy has been connect
ed with the Crawford County State
bank, and there are few men living in
Crawford county who have not at
some time transacted business with
him. He Is Ia German and speaks the
language very fluently and will no
doubt receive much support among
the Germans. His work as abstract
or has brought him in contact wiz
the affairs at the court house un
he is thoroughly familiar with the
methods employed in the different of
fees as to enable him to step into
and conduct the business thereof to
the satisfaction of all tax payers.
While member of the German Meth
odist church, Mr.. Helsley is very lib
eral in his views and the voters will
find him every ready to discuss with
fairness any, OF the questions confront
ing the people.
For county recorder, Mr.. John H.

If did not believe that, would not
believe in democracy. If | did not be-
licve that. | would not believe people
could govern themselves. If | did
not believe that the moral Judgment

| inspiring to come to this that may be
called the original foundation of lib
erty and independence in America
and take these draughts of patriotic
feelings which seem to renew the very
blood in a mans veins.
Down in Washington some times
when the days are hot and business
presses intolcrably and so many
things to do that it does not seem pos
sible to do anything in the way it.
ought to be done, it is always possible
to lift ones eye above the past for
the moment, and, as it were, to take
into ones whole being that great
thing of which we are all Il part-that
great body OF American feeling and
principle.
No man could do the work he has
to do in Washington if he allows him
self to feel lonely. He has to make
himself feel he is a part OF the people
Of the United tSatcs, and then he can
not feel lonely. And my dream is
this, that is tho years go on and tin
world knows more and more of Amer
lea, it also will bring out this fountain
of youth and renewal; that it will also
turn to America for those moral in
spirations that lie ut the base OF hu-
man freedom: that it will never fear
America unless IL MUS iisCli cllSd1cu
in some enterprise inconsistent with
the rights OF humanity; that America
will come TO that day when all shall
know she puts human rights above all
other rights. and that her flag is the
nag not only of America, bat the ilaG
Of humanity.
What other great people, ask, has
devoted itself to this exalted ideal?
TO what other nation in the world can
you look for instant sympathy that
thrills the whole body polite when
men anywhere are fighting for their
rights?
i don't know that there ever will be
another declaration OF independence,
statement of grievances of mankind;
but | believe If any such document is
ever drawn it will be drawn i'll the
spirit Of the American declaration of.
independence, and that America has
lifted the light that will shine into all
generations and guide the feet of man
kind to the goal of justice, liberty and
peace.

BROKEN RIB DUE
TO RUNAWAY AUTO
r. g. DAVIS VICTIM OF A Pc
cuLiAR ACCIDENT AT
COURTHOUSE.

r. b. Davis, chairman Of the board
OF county commissioners. is laid up
at home with broken rib and will
not be able to inspect county roads
for some weeks The fracture was
due to his deep interest in pursuing
criminal whose flight from Round
Mountain after slashing a fellow EN-

With his little dark lantern Mr.. Davis

he stopped at the courthouse to pick
mp a deputy sheriff. When he entered
the building he took the precaution
OF nitching the county auto to a
snubhing post which his forethought
had caused to be placed near the
main entrance This was better and
more certain than setting the brakes
or locking the wheels. At least il
seemed so to the county dad. After
attending TO his business within the
bastile the chairman emerged with
leg shackles and handouts dangling
from his belt and a young howitZer
in his hip pocket Unleashiug the
untamed auto from its moorings the
chairman proceeded to climb aboard
BY this time he discovered the horri
flying fact that the machine was run

alarming possibilities Of dashing e
pieces over the steep activity tha

A casual visitor to Miners Union
hall last night would be forgiven for
imagining himself at q political rally
of a great presidential election. The
air was filed with echoes Of the
protracted session Of congress, ren.
dered more notable during the clos
ing hours by the absence OF the sena-
tors from Nevada, one OF whom was
the orator Of the evening. Not a
word was said about the interests
of Nevada. Not a whisper about the
suiferings caused by depreciation Of
prosperity or the ruin entailed by
Inimical legislation at Washington.
Nothing was INDUCED save a bombas-
tic recital OF what the Wilson admin
Istration was alleged to have done
for the United States
