Freight House to be Moved

The Santa Fe has decided to move its freight office across to the south side of the tracks in order to eradicate the danger of the present crossing. If the plan to change the crossing itself is put thru, the ice house, also, wills be moved from its present location. It will then be possible to have the passenger train track come straight in instead of having to curve around the building at present obstructing a straight track. These proposed changes would eradicate the danger both Tn getting freight and in mak- ing the crossing.

THEY BELIEVED
IN AMERICA

One hundred and forty years ago some half
hundred men, sent by their communities to con-
cert measures for securing their rights as Eng
lishmen," became convinced that these could not
be obtained save by ceasing to be British sub
jects" and declaring themselves American citi-
ZenS."
Let US look behind the formal phrases of the
immortal Declaration TO the faith Of these men
and of the people for whom they spoke. What
was the faith that made vital their appeal for
the justice of their cause and the righteousness
of their undertaking?
They believed In themselves; In their ability to
do right and justice. They believed in the COM
petence Of stalwart manhood to govern itself and
to provide for the common welfare. They be-
lieved they could make better arrangements in
government than men had made before them.
They believed in themselves, In their people. in
America.
Americans of late have done n great deal Of
fault-fnding with America. There is not so much
now as a year or two ago. The spectacle across
the Atlantic tendF to hush il, and to give new
point to the saying that "other countries are
what make Americans so proud Of their own.
