The man who lives in a big,
overgrown town knows nothing
about the big, all out-Of-doOrs in
country for he does not get out
to look around. He may now
and then take a little spin
out. in his buzz-wagon but 1T
brings him nowhere nor does he
see much enrOute for he is too
bnsy with the steering gear to be
cognizant Of anything else and
this is the way he fritters his
unhappy life away chasing bub-
bles.

OF course you are thoroughly
posted on every angle of the
European war. But who is the
federal secretary of statei Who
is chief Justice of the supreme
court? Who are the majority
and minority leaders in congress?
Who is secretary of the interior?
How many states are there in
the union? What was the last
one to be admitted to statehood!
Know your own country first!
Some day perhaps when all
the pork has lavishly been
passed, when every scrap of pat
ronage has been handed out at
last: when all our noble congress-
men have got all they desire, and
have attained whatever heights
TO which they may aspire---to
unknown heights of common
sense the government will leap,
and do so much for mothers as it
does for cows and sheep---Ex.
Another of the worlds most
infuentialan forcefulnewspaper
owners and editors has answered
the summons. John R. Mclean
proprietor and editor of the Gin
cinnati Enquirer and washington
Post is dead. The Liberal from
years of study of this man and
his work will miss the accom-
plishments resulting from John
R. McLean's efforts, as will hun
dreds of others. Living in close
contact with the man and his
work the loss may even be great
er to US than to others in the
southwest. One of our ideals is
gone. Beginning a career in the
newspaper field within twenty
feet from the desk of John r.
Mclean somehow attached to us
a vague personality of him and
his papers. We pause in respect
of his memory.
Word has been received from
Washington that on July l the

was concerned, and almost every cot

exception of a few bolls near the bot

These counties that had made over
900 bales two years ago will not
make over 5000 this year.
We found very different feeling

They were all learning to live at

might just as swell be stated that
practically every candidate for
county Office in Hettineer county
will have opposition. There is
Iplenty of good timber to select
from, scattered in every part OF
the county. The old cry of Mott
wanting to hog everything must
be entirely eliminated and candi-
dates capable of filling the of
fees must be given a chance TO
have their names brought before
the people. The same conditions
are to be found in our own
county as are to be found in
many other counties of the state.
A certain bunch of individuals

standing together for the pur-
pose of controlling, if possible,
the most important of county of

a strong effort to clean up these
old gangs that have hitherto pre-
dominated, is being made. There
is a heavy demand for the plac-

Thus we see the highest office

that is any way catchy so it
will be recognizable in the booth.
All this is bad enough. But
here is where the newspaper
comes in: Even the quack medi-
cine firms of the east will pay a
little something for their publicity
