WE NEED A MAN.


to achieve greater success in life is
because we do not exert the neces-
sary will power to accomplish more
, cetinite results.
Look over the people of this
town. Study their habits, their
speech and their accomplishments
You will find many of them who un-
douotedly possess an enormous re-
serve of will power. Their every
word and action indicates as much.
But there is perceptible disposition
TO hesitate which prevents the
bringing of that reserve force ac-
lively into play. The natural re-
suit is that they are only moderate
ly successful when they should be
rising to great heights.
In this our people are in no re-
spect different from those of other
places and other climes. II is a trait
of human nature and will survive
until the end of the human race.
Occasionally we read or hear of
some great man who began life in,
an humble way. If you could look
down deep into the soul of that man
you would see that he is just a hui
man being like the rest Of us, with
this exception. He has fought and
conquered the retarder, hesitancy.
and has brought into full action the
will power that lies dormant in
majority of people. His normal
mind perceives an opportunity and
his will and determination force
him to grasp it. The results is sue
cess. The world hears of him while
the rest Of us live and die in the
peaceful obscurity Of our own little
circles.
There are those amona us who
have in them the making Of men and
women of national note but nesi-.
L ncy dogs their steps. Their acute
miuds see the oppur'r it,cs ahead
or them but heritancy whispers to-
them to wait, and while they are
" aiting opportunity marches on. 1t
pauses for no man.
This town is overflowing With
brains, but most of them are lying
dormant, working only as necessity
requires.
AS community we need an
awakening. We need a revival OF
will power and of determination.
We need big boot that will lift
hesitation and procrastination into
eternal oblivion and forgetfulness
We need action.
But above all we need commercial
pastor for the flock. We need a
man who has fought and conquered
hesitancy, who is achieving success
himself, who will take us by the
rand and lead us into the way of ac-
complshment and results. We need
a leader who can lead.
We. have such man in our midst
you all know him-but hesitancy
is making its last desperate appeal.
He is fighting alone and valiantly in
his efforts TO finally and definitely
divorce himself from all hesitancy
and procrastination. He has the
''eart. and the will, and the desire
to lead and to be of use to his fellow
men. but difhdency alone prevents.
IT is the last link in the chain OF
hesitation that still holds him in
leash.
we are writing this editorial for
his benefit We know he wilt read
It. and we hope IL VIII serve as an
inspiration and encourage him TO
make the supreme effort that will
free him from all restraints and
ace his great intellect and natural
nower OF will at the disposal of our
own and our community
We need this man We need lis
counsel. his advice. and his leader
,hip. We need him now

Washington Dry (
Law Crippled by
Court Decision

Seattle, Wash, July City and
county officials here were in some
what of a quandary today as to the
extent of their authority under the
prohibition law in view OF a state SUI
preme court decision yesterday which
held that it is not illegal for person
to possess for personal use any
amount OF liquor, providing it was OBJ
tanned in a legal manner.
The courts ruling ordered the dis
missal of charges against W. E: Boe-
ing and John c. Eden, Seattle million
aires, accused of having more than
the legal amount of liquor in their
possession, and orders the return to
them of several thousand dollars
worth of wines seized by the sheriff
in raids on Mr.. Boeing's home and
the Raineir club last winter.
The decision held that the provision
of the prohibition law limiting the
amount Of liquor in persons posses
sion to two quarts of whisky and
twelve quarts of beer, applied only
to cases where the liquor was kept
for the purpose of sale. A dissenting
opinion held that the decision virtu-
ally annulled the prohibition law and
would made it impossible to secure
convictions of persons having liquor
with illegal intent.
