HIGHWAY RUN SUCCESS
$500 Miles in Twelve Hours Proves
Through Automobile Route Open
to Pacific Coast.

| Detroit, Mich.-The Lincoln high
way has been covered from New York
to SanFrancisco in one day. Com
plete reports from the many drivers
who took part in the great cross-coun
try run indicate that not foot OF the
way, except where actual road con
struction made driving impossible
was left uninspected by official Lin
coin highway representatives on Fri
day. The Lincoln Highway associa-
ton has settled by one great demon.
stration the question OF whether OF
not the route will be ready for tourists
in the spring.
More than 300 Lincoln highway CON
suls and officially appointed drivers
took part in the run. Each man start
ed at given point and drove over the
Lincoln highway to the next point
west and return, observing the condi-
ton of the road. the number OF mark
ers for the guidance OF the Tourist and
the work in progress. This informa-
ticn along with the weather conditions
prevailing and the mileage covered
was wired to the headquarters OF the
association at Detroit, where it will
be compiled for the use OF transcon'
tinental tourists.
On the morning after the run more
than one hundred wires We're received
from as May points along the cross
country trail Messages were received
from every state crossed by the high
way, and from some OF the states,
where long mileages and many cities
and towns made the subdivisions oil
the task necessary, from twelve to
twenty wires were received.
The reports Indicate that more than
rs per cent Of the total distance is
thoroughly marked, thoroughly" indi-
eating one marker every eighth ON a
nile No tourist could lose his bear
ings on such a road.
The report shows q wide range oil

iowa Has the dump on California.

Weather, such as the people OF iowa
have experienced this fall, strengthens
the Stay in Iowa" sentiment, and
brings out many comparisons OF this
climate with others, especially these
that are greatly advertised. With the
exception of one brief cold snap, there
has been practically a continuous
"Indian Summer" for the past six
weeks. Weather reports show that
the temperature has maintained an
average of 10 degrees with slight var,
iations in extreme portions Of the
state.
Throughout the entire state there
has been no frost in the ground. This
has given the Iowa farmer an oppor-
tunity to get a running jump on his
next springs work, besides harvest
ing this years crops in record time.
Because OF the continued warm
weather gardeners over the state have
been able, to raise an extra crop
vegetables. From different parts OF
the state come reports OF the. now
usual, fall crop of small fruits and
vegetables.
A gardner near Cedar Falls has sue
ceeded in raising an extra crop OF
trawberries. In this vicinity crabap-
pie trees along streams are in bloom
again.

lar, the tiirnip crop in Iowa is real
one. Many patches did not stop grow

The Man of the Hour.

See the censor.
He censors all the time-morning,
noon and night. When others are
taking their much needed rest he
keeps on censoring just the same.
I War was becoming so we'll known
that there was grave danger Of its
getting to be unpopular. When we
have discovered all there is to know
about thing we generally lose inter-
est in it. The censor was therefore
called in to fan the mystery. He
loves to keep everybody guessing.
Every censor has probably once
been an editor. The main business
OF editors is to cut out everything in
teresting.
To be frst-class censor one must
be able to keep secret. There are
no woman censors.
Censors owe their existence to war.
Will they die out or become obsolete?
We cannot answer this question per-
fectly, but judging from present indi-
cations, we have an idea that there
will always be censors.-Life.

UNDER THE DOME

T DON'T see how he gets much fun out of
it." remarked an old golfer as President
Wilson passed from the eighteenth green to
the automobile waiting for him. @He never
plays the nineteenth hole and tells how
his drive sliced into the ditch on No. 3, how
he missed putt that long for four on
No. s, how bad kick landed his ball into
the rough on No. II, how badly his mashy
behaved in one place and his brassy in an
other; all of which, when sized up over the
nineteenth hole in the grillroom, would
show, barring accidents, misplays, and the
general cussedness of the game, that he
would have played the course in par. No,
don't see how he gets all that's coming to
him in the game of golf. That's the penalty
he pays for being President"
THERE is only one Republican congress-
l iona1 district in Virginia, the ninth, and
it is represented by c. Bascom Slemp. Nat
urally the Democrats make strong cam
paign in each election in the ninth district
in the hope of making solid Democratic
delegation. One year General Walker, a
Confederate veteran, was the candidate
against Slemp, and Senator Swanson went
into the district on a stumping tour. He
liked Slemp, and desired to avoid personal
tiles; but was impelled, of course, to stand
for his party's candidate.
@This ought to be an ideal campaign in
this district, said Swanson. "Mr. Slemp has
promised not to tell any lies about General
Walker, and General Walker has promised
not to tell the truth about Mr.. Slemp.'

A REAL Virginia gentleman lives at Alex
= andria, the ancient Virginia city
where George Washington went to church
and did his marketing. Among the resi-
dents of this historic place is man who
had aspirations to be Lieutenant Governor.
Just why he should have had such notion
is not clear; for ]. Taylor Ellyson has held
that Office as long as present memories can
recall, and seems to have life tenure.
The Alexandria candidate was very popu-
lar in his city, and the politicians desired to
compliment him with the delegation to the
State convention. But there was one draw
back. The candidate was of convivial
nature, and there was quite strong tenn
perance element to be placated.
@Tell you what we'll do, Colonel said a
spokesman for the politicians. @We'll give
you the delegation from this county if you
won't take drink in Alexandria until after
the primaries
The candidate agreed. 1t was not diff
cult; for each day he made one or more
trips by trolley to Washington and secured
all the liquid nourishment he required.
One day the Colonel stood on the corner
at the regular hour waiting for car. 1t
did not come. He waited and watched but
still no car appeared. Finally friend saw
him and told him there was tie-up on the
line, and no one could tell when the cars
would be running.
THAT settles it," said the Colonel. He
went into the writing room of a hotel, wrote
out and mailed to the committee his resigna-
ton as candidate for Lieutenant Governor;
then he went into the bar.
Like true Virginia gentleman said the
Colonel, II would not break my word; and
also like true Virginia gentleman, wasn't
going without my drink l have retired
from the campaign, and am no longer a
candidate, and l can take my drink in

1t was at this instant that Minot, looking
past the Gaiety lady's beautiful golden
coiffure, beheld Miss Cynthia Meyrick
standing in the doorway of that parlor,
smile on her face. She disappeared on the
instant; but Gabrielle Roses @big scene"
was ruined beyond repair.
3My dear lady," gently Minot slipped
from beneath her lovely hands, Il assure
you 1 do like you-more than little But
unfortunately my loyalty to Harrowby-no,

that cannot be your friend in this instance.

Gabrielle Rose snapped her fingers every
well, her voice had a metallic ring now, 1--WE

Undoubtedly. l bid you good day."
AS NIinot, somewhat dazed, walked along
the veranda of the De la Pax he met
Miss Meyrick. There was mischievous
gleam in her eye.
@Really, it was so tactless of me, Mr..
Minot," she said. "a thousand apologies!"
He pretended not to understand.
3My untimely descent on the parlor"
She beamed on him. Il presume it happened
because romance draws me-ike magnet

Minot smiled wanly, and for once sought
to end their talk.
@Oh, do sit down just moment she
pleaded. u want to thank you for the great
service you did Harrowby and me-last
night"
3Wha-what service?' asked Minot, sink
ing into chair.
She leaned close, and spoke in whisper.
"Your part in the kidnapping. Harrowby
has told me all about it. 1t was sweet of
you-so unselfsh!"
"Damn!" thought Minot. And then he
thought two more.

Let the Army and Navy Work

In the Sunday Los Angeles Ex- aminer, an. II, occurs an article e headed, "Put the War God to work" The article argues that the army and the navy ought to be put to work at other great tasks like the digging of the Panama Canal; and made to produce. It proposes that for this work soldier and ma- rine alike be paid as high wages as other workingmen receive The army and navy might be made selfsupporting and at the same time add greatly to the wealth of the country by t h improvement of waterways, extension of lrriga- ton projects, the improvement ol roads and so on.
 For naval defense, the articl' proposes that the government buiiu large fleet of strong ships prepar- ed for immediate arming but with the guns left on shore during times of peace, and use the ships for com merce. The article would have the inland wa.ercourses filled with government boats, each supplied with torpedo tube, but the boats to be used for mail and passenger work when not engaged in war. In addition to this it proposes to have large fleet of aircraft devoted to works of peace but ever ready to wreck destruction with dynamite in the event of war.
 And why not? Why must we encourage those who would enlist to defend their country, to become idlers and buns? And certainly the united States is the country properly located and peopled to lead in such great work of peace. Remember, they were military off, cers on con aratively small pay who achieved the triumph of unit ing the Atlantic and the Pacific. Would that Goethels and his help CTS might next be set to work with in our own States at other great public works. with the entire army and navy back Of him in addition to the present force.

For Law and Order

One of our local saluon keepers called at the News office this week and gave his views on the need O
 a night marshal. He stated tha
 he stands for law and order anC favors some step being taken by the council to put an end to night disturbances such as have been all too common of late. The appoint ment of a night marsnal for this purpose is agreeable to him.
 Our visitor stated further that ii anyone is diso1 derly in his saloon he wants him arrested just the same as he would be for disorderly conduct anywhere else.
 This is a commendable attitude in saloon keeper the same as in any other citizen The liquor busi- ness or any other business which refuses to align itself with the forces for law and order, by this act seals it's own doom. The march of civilization is onward. Law and order are essential to the best good of society and law and order we shall eventually have. They are just az essential to a good saloon business as to any other business.
 It remains yet to be seen whether the other saloons of Williams will align themselves with the forces that make for advancement wbeth> I they will declare for the gooc name and permanent prosperity of Williams. To do so may secure their prolonged continuance. To fail to do can but hasten their abol ishment. With the saloons them selves rests the choice.

For A Williams Beautiful

 beautiful town, today. The setting could hardly be more picturesque
 nor offer better opportunities for
 the making of a beautiful mountain i town; and the country is rich
 enough to provide the means neces-
 sary to do the beautifying. Just
 one thing is lacking and that is a determined and united effort on the
 part of citizens to make Williams ali that it might and ought to be. There are great many fine look ing and well kept up houses in williams and the bulk of other residences are in keeping with a i've and orderly ci.y but right alongside of these are to be found
 many shacks worthy only of con- demnation and rem val.
 There has be n some god work done on Williams streets, 8 very good beginning has been made, but
 there is far more that yet needs to
 be done. Can you imagine any, thing much more unsightly than a street crossing with kitchen sewer water running across it? The edi-
 tor passes such place every day on his way to the "ffice. A very little ditching at the right places would turn the water in such cases
 into the gutter instead Still bet
 ter would be a city sewer system,
 but until we can g t the sewer sys-
 tenn let us have gutters and them
 kept in order.
 Other eyesores exist in the form of garbage and refuse not proper y disposed of. In some p rts of town there seems to be an effort to grade l np ts with tin cans, Id stoves and like rubbish. A ow way of
 grading up, and nothing uld
 ake the lots much more unsighlly
 during the apparently intending process.
 Beyond doubt there's a plenty t b,
 be done in improving the l. oks our little city Next to law and order come orderliness and cleanli-
 ness of streets, alleys, yards and
 lots, in essentialness tn the perma
 nent prosperity and growth of a town.
 There is a great task ahead for Williams people in making their town what it ought to be. Certain ly it cannot be accomplished in a single day, but great deal more can be done than has ct been done.
 The great need is united action. All of the fnrces that want a live, growing and permanently prosper ous Williams should unite in mak- ing improvements such as those herein suggested These things are to the interest of all of Us. We should lay aside whatever differen ces we may have on other matters and unite tor the common good m these things. Lets have an inn provement in the cleanliness of our streets, alleys and yards at ,nce
