An Ideal Citizen

There is a man in this town, known
to US all, who is il ST about our ideal
Of good citizen.
He is making his money here, he is
raising and educating his family here
and he expects to live and die here.
When.he has any money to spend
he first looks carefully over the adj
vertisements in this paper If he
finds what he wants he goes there
and gives that merchant the first op
p0rtunity.
In everything he buys he gives the
home merchant the preference.
He occasionally buys articles from
abroad, but they are cases wherein
he cannot find that which he seeks in
his own community
He believes in Ais home town, anC
because he does believe in it and in
tends TO continue TO live i'm it he
grasps every possible means of ad.
vancing its interests by keeping his
money in circulation at home.
He, to our mind, is the IDEAL
CITIZEN.
Would that he were multiplied a
thousand fold.
For we need more Of him.

Speak A Good Word

When the stranger enters your gate
speak good word for your town. for
your neighbors, for your community.
1t is but little for you to do, but it
is rich in the fruits of after years.
a community is judged by the
words and the acts of its people. and
we OF this community are judged by
Others in like manner.
If the hearts of our people are
warmed by the fires of comradeship
and brotherly love our acts will be in
accord with our feelings, and the
world will know us as a community
of honor and integrity, as people
with soul, as place worthy of a
future.
But if we loose the food gates of
criticism and abuse and balittle the
community and it's people. then in
time we will descend to level which
we create for ourselves, and the world
will know us as people whom it is
we'll to let alone
Every day we are adding new rungs
to the community ladder, but are
they going up-OR DOWN?
Speak good word, brother speak
IA good work.

There is one important thing of
which this town stands i'm dire need.
We need an organization for the pur-
pose of fostering civic pride and ad-
vancing local interests.
We humans are like a flock of sheep
we follow our leaders.
That's the reason we need an organ
iZation with backbone Of steel, some
one to take the lead a2d keep the
lead and push the lead away up to
the front rank of progressiveness.
We could make this town SO clean
it would be household word
throughout this whole section of
country-if we wanted to.
But we never want to unless some
one takes the lead. and pulls off his
coat, and gets down to cleaning up
his own premises, and injects the
cleanup spirit into others.
But who's going to take the lead?
Are you?
There ueed be no expense to keep
ing clean town-just IA matter of
every fellow keeping his own place
just little cleaner than the others,
and all hands pushing the authorities
along in the matter ol polishing up
the public places.
BY all means let's have civic
pride organization, with every mem
Der constituting himself leader and
trying to outdo everybody else in
community cleanliness and beauty.
Make the start, gentlemen, some
body make the start.
This paper will get behind and
shove.

Two weeks from next Sunday is the
glorious Fourth of July and thus far
we have not had any official informa-
ton that there would be any formal
celebration of the nations birthday
at any particular place in this county.
We understand that there is move
ment on foot among the Indians to
hold a celebration at Wood, but this
information is not official. Dallas
is making great plans to hold a big
celebration on Saturday, July 3, and
Valentine has also announced that
they will have a big celebration on
the 3rd, and invite all neighboring
towns to join them in making the
eagle scream on that date. These
are the only really big celebrations
announced in this section of the
country thus far. We would liked to
have seen "A celebration pulled off at
Wood along the lines of the safe and
sane celebration held here last year
This celebration was an inexpensive
affair, and everyone had real good
time and enjoyed the day very much,
along safe and sane lines. Why not
repeat the celebration?

Whenever the Democrats Join
with the Republicans in their eff
forts at blocking the governor in
his efforts to carry into effect his
campaign promises, they give
aid and encouragement to the
Republican party, both by aiding
the purposes of that party and
by discrediting their own official.
Have not the Democrats been
reading in Republican papers the
boasts that the governor cannot
make good on his campaign
promises because the constitu-
ton and the laws stand in his
way? Democrats should know
that in the minds of the Repub-
licans this means that a Repub-
lican legislature is not going to
permit a Democratic governor to
make his promises good. Why
should they give aid to their po-
litical enemies by joining with
them in their purposes?
That the constitution stands
in the way of the governor is
false nonsense, for the reason
that he never promised anything
that would be contrary to the
constitution. The claim that
the laws stand in the way, is but
an admission that Republican
legislature does not propose to
permit the laws to be changed to
enable the governor to carry out
what the people want carried
out. Does that sound enticing
to the Democrats or any of them?
Suppose every Democrat in the
legislature should stand square
~ back of the governor i'm every
matter wherein he attempts to
carry out a campaign pledge. and
then suppose the Republicans
should use their majority solid
ly lined up against him. who
then would suffer? Would il
not be the Republicans? We
cannot conceive that any single
Democrat would thereby be at all
embarrassed.
We can see how a Democrat
who fails to back up the govern
or may be embarrassed, and not
only he, but his entire party as
well. What Democrat desires
to be the cause of seriously en-
barrassing his party in the next
campaign?
IL is we'll known among all his
friends that Governor Alexander
is not a candidate for renomina-
ton or reelection in the next
campaign, but it is safe to say
that he is going to do nothing To
embarrass his party or cause il
to make apologies or excuses
for him. His party will be in a
mighty strong position in that
campaign if the Democratic
members of the legislature will
keep themselves as popular with
the rank and file of voters as the
governor will by sticking close to
his promises.
Moreover, more than one OF
the Democratic members of the
legislature owes his own election
to those same campaign PROM
ises of Governor Alexander, and
those who do not forget that il
Is as much their duty to help the
governor keep those promises as
it is the duty of the governor Ia
keep them, will be doing them
selves, their party and the peo-
pie of the state mighty good ser
vice.

LINCOLN


Original Poem by Chas. Merry,
Slh Grade.
Lincoln was born in a cabin
Made of sticks, stones and of logs
In a country infested with robins,
The crickets, the toads and the
frogs.
Awkward was he in his youth
But he worked at his lessons hard
His nature was all but uncouth
\nd honor from him was not bar
red.
He labored and worked thru
the day
And studied his books at night
As he climbed up his hazardous
way
To future glorious and bright.
Thus it was that he toiled
Determined to be not left behind
lis impossible for me to be foiled
Were the thots which settled his
mind.
When into manhood he grew
+ defender of the law he became
Straight to the top he now flew
TO the highest pinnacle of fame.
And now when the tempest was
pulling
And carrying the new country's
fate
Now when the passion was grow
ing
Did he make his name greater
than great
Lincoln was first i'm the grapple
Lincoln was honest and brave
Now was he chosen by the people
To free from his bondage the
slave.
All that he did he did honest
All that he did he did good.
His work was the surest and
quickest
For he did all a president should
His ruling was one of the surest
His governing one without fear
And twas surely the lowest or
foulest
That would mar such a glorious
career.
But now was he destined to leave
us;
Tor the evil not a bit did he know,
Put killed by a deed horn of
malice
Was he laid on his death-bed TO
go
He left a great name behind
him
One that will last forever
Something the evolution of time
| From this country carnot dis
sever
| This the man with the fame
The man who was born to be
clever
Left like the dying of flame
Died, serving his country; a
martyr.
