GOOD WORK OF PROVOST
GUARD AT CAMP GREENE

The Chariot Sunday Observer of
Charlotte, N. c., has the following
concerning the Wyoming boys who
are in camp at Camp Greene:
Those citizens who had antici-
pated that there would be rowdyism
on the streets when the soldiers got
here in any great numbers, have been
speaking in the most favorable terms
|of the magnificent order thus far
maintained by the men and especial
ly of their fine conduct upon the
streets.
While none of the honor should
be taken from the individual SOL
diers who have demeaned them
selves in this manner, still there is
no denying the fact but for the pro-
vost guard from the Third Wyoming
infantry, there would have been dis
order, especially during the late
hours, of the night.
Ever since orders were issued in
Camp Greene that the soldiers must
clear the streets of Charlotte after
l o'clock, these orders have been

none the less firmly. Woe to the

boys are rounded up without fear or

they have gone on duty, about ten
days ago, they have settled accounts

know the boys of the organization
who are seeking whiskey. and pretty
soon they learn the habitat of the
tiger. The first thing the tiger knows
he is caught in snare, and it is a
snare, for Uncle Sam with all his
power to punish, is back of these

When It is not against q law for

it be against the law to ASK him

not do it by a direct law. rather
than by the indirect method of

days nearly all of the sqeaking is
done in print, and the print is
circulated through the mails.
Furthermore, why should the
government establish censorship
over the privacy of correspon.
dence, when there is not even the
suspicion of aw.breaking? These
gentlemen who are the daddies
of these bills are setting an
entirely new principal in Ameri.
can legislation, and we warn
them and the readers of the
Herald, and every God.loving,
God fearing citizen of the
United States that such methods
are bound to result in the down
fall of this government.
The Herald suggests that
every reader of this paper, and
all those who hold dear to them
the rights of liberty and free
press write Immediately our
Congressman, Hon. Joe j.
Russell, Washington, D. O., and
ask him to cast his vote against
these two measures, thus putting
himself on record against such
tactics.
The Herald must right now say
that it is against any member OF
the legislature and every senator
who will cast his vote for such
bills and have been thus intro
duced. If the representatives o1
the people and who are elected
by the people cannot be better

introduce laws that are a nui
sance, and a burden on thu
people, they had better be KEEP
home, and their vacancy b'
filled with rag doll or dummy
Such representation as thes'
men from our states are an insul
to the American people.
Again, let our suggestion bea
fruit. Let every one of our read
ers send Congressman Joe }
Russell a letter, or a postal wi
do, asking him to cast his vot
AGAINST these two measures.

for sale.
Enactment of this bill into law
will establish a precedent which
quickly and easily may lead to
governmental censorship of all
printed matter. If it becomes
unlawful to publish advertising
relating to the sale of intoxicat'

to prohibit the advertising OF
tobacco, of underwear, of stock

Evidently Did Not See Train
W. w. Eccless made the following
statement to a Journal-Press reporter
at Rice yesterday:
"When I crossed the track I saw
the train coming and I stopped my car
on the other side to signal Mr.. Long
worth not to attempt to cross ahead
of the train. He evidently did not see
the approaching train and attempted
to cross. As I was alighting from my
machine I saw cloud of dust and one
member of the party was thrown into
the air. It all happened so quickly
we do not know just how to account
for the accident.''
Thrown Fifty Feet in Air
Mr.. Longworth, driver of the ma
chine, was thrown fifty feet into the
air. When members Of the two pre-
ceding cars reached him he was dead.
Miss Knickerbocker was still gasping

of the lomotive and ground to pieces.

The car was carried distance of
about 80 feet and thrown against tie

feet of fence leading up to the track
at the crossing was completely torn

Of the two women ground under the
wheels were picked up for at least 200
feet along the tracks. The scene pre-
scented at the crossing to the scores
Of people who fastened there by auto
mobile as soon as the accident was re-

Prominent People
The Longworth people were promin-

were pioneers in the locality in which
they resided. Neither Mr.. Longworth
nor his sister we're ever married. They
lived together and conducted a sum-
mer resort. on Clearwater Lake for
number of years. Miss Knockerbocker
