HIGH SCHOOL NEWS NOTES

The first annual high school pIcni"
given by the Boys and Girls clubs
was held last Saturday at the Amity
headgates west of Lamar. The crowd
met at the high school at eight thirty
and went from there in cars furnish
ed by members of the clubs. They
arrived there about ten thirty and
from then until twelve, they roamed
about getting acquainted with the var
iuus places of interest. At twelve
the girls fixed the spread which they
had brought with them and everyone
had plenty to eat and drink. A pro-
gram had been arranged for the af-
ternoon, but some of the fellows de-
cided to go in swimming, which rath-
er spoiled it. Altho Mr.. Hemphill
succeeded in defeating "Koonie" in
a race in the sand and "koon" woods
was buried with honors.
About three o'clock everyone start
ed back to town and came by way of
Wiley on the return trip. The picnic
was a great success and will prob
ably be an annual affair.
While out at the headgates Sat
urday Francis Steele had the misfor-
tune to lose his shoe.

their class play for the last week and

FLAX A PROMISING CROP FOR
1916
Absence of Competition and Conse-
quent High Price Makes II At
tractive to Farmer in Adapt
ed Plains Region

The normal demands for flax seed
in the United States is between 25,-
100000 and 30,000,000 bushels. In
normal seasons this amount of flax
is quite, or nearly, produced in the
United States. A factor affecting
prices, however, under normal condi-
tons is the Canadian, Argentine, and
Russian production. As long as the
present disturbed condition prevails
in Europe, competition from these
three sources is almost entirely re-
moved. Russia and Canada cannot
compete because of the demands for
linseed oil by England and Russia,
and Argentina, because of the enor-
nous increases in ocean freight
brought about by the European war.
Present prices are very flattcring,
with an excellent prospect that they
will obtain during the entire 1916
season because of world production
conditions. On this account, it looks
as if flax grown for seed would be a
profitable cash crop for the adapted
plains region of Colorado this year
Flax is a profitable crop with prices
Of S1.50 per bushel or higher. These
prices bid fair to be obtained because
it is doubtful if the American pro-
duction quite reaches its own demand
and foreign demand is almost entirely
remOved.-Alvin Kezer, Colorado Ag-

III tenaciously held theory Of
the Roman Catholic hierarchy
is constantly evinced. The Jes-
uitical utterances Of leading Ro-
man Catholics calculated 10 allay
alarm are week by week belied by
the overt acts and ubversive prac-
tices Of leading representatives Of
the hierarchy and prominent sons OF
the church.
That these two theories OF gov
ernment are mutually exclusive and
therefore cannot exist together is so
conclusively proven by an over
whelming array Of past and present
day facts that no American who
cares enough for our great nation
and for his own children's veal TO
seriously study either the history Of
Rome, or her present acts under our
flag can escape the conclusion that
we are in the midst Of a wdr 10 The

Of jefferson and the Revolutionary
fathers will eventually triumph or
the papal system as the Romans

lSEI OF ITeeluenl wilson IN an
@ almost unprecedentedly close
electoral contest. A number Of
prominent factors were involved in
the campaign this year as will be
indicated below. We believe, how
ever, that the one factor which pre-
vented Mr.. Hughes securing a de-
eisive victory was the compromising
attitude Of the Republican Cam
paign Committee and Mr.. Hughes
toward Rome as the campaign ad-
yanced.
Unquestionably one Of the strong
est elements in favor Of President
Wilson was the success Of his pacific
policy during the present epoch Of
international insanity, and the fear
that Mr.. Hughes would yield to
Rome's demand for Intervention in
Mexico and thus involve us in a
bloody war with our sister republic.
The woman's vote for which Mr..
Hughes made a strong bid went, it
appears, largely for Mr.. Wilson
after he had expressed himself as
favorable to suffrage, doubtless be-
cause Mr.. Wilson stood for peace
and economic reforms in which
women are deeply interested, and
Mr.. Hughes failed to definitely de-
clare himself in favor Of the fun
damental democratic principles
against which Rome is warning
principles which are very dear to
vast majority Of our American
women.
Another potent factor was the
general feeling that President Will
son had, along social and economic
lines, interpreted the Democratic
ideals in the spirit Of liberal de-
mOcracy which places the man
above the dollar.
A further positive element that
favored the president was undoubt-
edly- the fear that Mr.. Roosevelt
would be a dominating figure in any
cabinet which Mr.. Hughes might
select. The latter had declared that
he was in full accord with Mr..
Roosevelts views, and Mr.. Roose-
velts views were in direct opposi-
ton TO the nobly pacific course Of
President Wilson. His Incorporate
utterances had convinced tens Of
thousands OF the more intelligent
Fand thoughtful Republicans that he
would be as dangerous in a COM
manding position at the present
time as would be a five-year-old boy
armed with a box of matches If
turned loose in a powder maga-
zine. II is not strange, therefore, that
such lifelong and representative Re-
publicans as Thomas A. Edison and
Henry Ford we're bitterly disap-
pointed with Mr.. Hughes weak and
Cft-times incorporate denunciation
pf President Wilson's pacific policy,
hnd feared that the militant spirit
pf Roosevelt would gravely interfere
with the upward sweep Of civiliza-
tion in the event Of the election of
the Republican candidate. These
men believed with millions Of other
thoughtful citizens that the highest
interests Of advancing civilization
10 less than The true prosperity of
America could best be conserved by
-electing President Wilson. They
Id not wish to aid or abet in any
way an administration which threat
ened to pursue a course that might
easily sacrifice the flower Of Ameri-I
an youth and manhood upon the
tar Of shallow and mistaken ma
honal pride.
These things were positive fac
<trs which led tens and perhaps

Of Mr.. Hughes expected to yield
their unqualified support TO the
Republican ticket.
Sampson and Delilsh
There were, however, other things
which il less obvious were none the
less potent in turning what prom
ised to be a sweeping victory for
Mr.. Hughes into defeat, or near de-
feat and these factors. broadly speak
ing, all had to do with the Repub.
lican Sampson dallying with the
Delilah Of Romanism.
After the Republican convention
there was a general feeling among
the patriotic millions Of America
that Hughes aud Fairbanks could
be depended upon TO bravely and
unqualiiiedly stand by the funda-
mental democracy Of our liberal
constitution. After the Democratic
convention this sentiment was
greatly strengthened and an elec.
tion at that time would, we believe,
have resulted in Mr.. Hughes receiv.
ing from two TO three million of pa.
triotic votes, a large proportion OF
which later went over to Mr.. Wilson
for the reasons We are about TO cite.
In the first place, Mr.. Hughes
attitude toward the assassin Huerta
and his sweeping denunciation Of
President Wilson's Mexican policy
impressed thousands as nothing
more or less than the familiar Ro-
man Catholic ranting against the
president. II amazed millions
Of our people and caused grave mis-
givings as to the man they had ex-
pected to enthusiastically support.
Rome and Republican Folly
This was followed by the expos
ure Of the coquetting Of the Repub-
lican committee with Rome in the
shameful moving picture scheme
which, when dragged into the light
Of publicity, came to a sudden and
inglorious end. In this exposure it
was shown conclusively that the
Republican leaders had become
party to a plan for flooding the
country during the closing days of
the campaign with moving pictures
that were little less than an attempt
to visualize the shameful and cal
luminous attack Of the hierarchy on
President Wilson and the recog-
nized government of our sister re-
public. Wi a the master spirits OF
the Republican party thus caught
red-handed in a scheme to further
Rome's attack on the president and
the liberal aspirations Of the Mexi-
can people, tens Of thousands of the
more thoughtful of our citizens be-
gan to ask what secret deal might
be brewing-if indeed one had not
been consummated, between the ever
dickering Roman political machine
and the managers Of the Republican
campaign. This episode greatly
dampened the enthusiasm of the
patriots for Mr.. Hughes and stim-
ulated,a feeling Of distrust in many
minds.
Next came the news that the Re-
publican presidential candidate was
consorting with DR.. 0'Leary OF
malodorous hyphenate fame. O'Leary
had been so Extensively and frankly
anti-American that this action Of
Mr.. Hughes in conferring with the
man who opposed President Wilson
because Of his brave stand in de-
fense Of fundamental democracy
and sound American principles, fur
ther augmented the distrust in the
minds Of many patriots.

Catholic vote Of the Hoosier state
for Mr.. Hughes, in pursuance Of q
well organized plan. II was shown
that thousands o, copies Of the book
Red and yellow" written by the
Right Rev. Francis Kelly, presi-
dent Of the Catholic church extension
society, was being placed in the homes
Of the Catholic families throughout
the state. This book, published
under the auspices Of the Catholic
church Extension Society, was well
calculated TO fan TO fame the Cath
Ole prejudice against the president.
II was even claimed that the cam
paign Of Mr.. Hughes was sanctioned
by the American cardinals and its
promoters announced that twenty
three out Of thirty Roman Catholic
priests in indianapolis were actively
working for Hughes election. II is
true that one Of the cardinals issued
a weak denial Of having sanctioned
the campaign, but this failed 10
carry conviction in the face of the
fact that an authoritative utterance
from the hierarchy requesting
priests to keep out Of politics would
have silenced these militant "fathers"
who were working so zealously for
the election Of Mr.. Hughes.
Hughes Fatal Mistake
Had Mr.. Hughes even in the
presence Of these disquieting facts
and circumstances bravely and un-
equivocally stated that he would
use all his constitutional power 10
uphold and protect the great funda-
mental principles Of our ORGANIC
LAW in so far as they relate 10
freedom Of speech, press. and as
sembly, and that he Would resoluts-
ly oppose any and erery attempt on
the part of any church 10 secure
special privileges or appropriations
Of public money for sectdnan in
Stitutions, or any other dttempt 10
disregard The spirit or the letter OF
The constitutional prorision for the
absolute diuoroe Of church and
state; had he declared that he would
defend in every constitutional way
the fundamental principles Of our
liberal democracy against the mon
archial and reactionary foreign in
huences which insidiously and OPEN
ly are assailing our FEDERAL
CONSTITUTIONS guarantees and
the great bulwarks Of free institu-
tions, there would have been no
question but what he would have
received an overwhelming majority
Of the votes of the patriotic millions
who are opposing the Roman Cath
olic political machine because that
machine is warning on our funda-
mental democracy.
Such a simple declaration would
have been nothing more than an
out-spoken pledge for the upholdinp
Of our liberal democratic system Of
government. 1t is something which

the United States from George
Washington to James A. Garfield
