MOWER PARK CAMPMEETING

Mower Park, August 9-The at
tendance at the campmeeting at this
place is increasing. The people Of
the community know a good thing
when they see and hear it. After the
shower of rain yesterday evening the
grounds are 80 beautiful. One can
get so close to nature here that he Is
in a good atmosphere for religious
worship. Mrs. Hall and Mrs. Felts
have organized Junior Choir, which
is quite a help to the song service.
The sermons delivered by Brother
Hall are difficult to surpass by any
one. He is at his best and 1t Is quite
a treat to hear him, and the commun-
ity will be much bettered by having
this campmeeting. Miss Leedy of
Grayson, Ky, will be with us soon.
She comes highly recommended as
singer, which will add much interest
to the meetings. The managers Of the
park are making preparations for a
large attendance next Sunday. All
who attend will be cordially well
coined.

GREAT VICTORY FOR BRITISH
Attack at Daybreak and Capture All
German Forward Lines-Gain
All Objectiyes.

British Front in France and Bel
GUM, August 10-Field Marshal Sir
Douglas Haig's forces at daybreak this
morning attacked and captured vir-
tually all the German forward posi-
tions east of the Belgian town of
Hooge, on the battlefront between
Frebenburg and the Ypres-Menin
road. The assaulting forces gained
virtually all their objectives to the
depth of several hundred yards in the
first rush. The German defenses stiff
fened after the initial onslaught and
heavy fighting developed at some
places, but at the latest reports the
British were holding their new line
strongly.
This section of the front was the
scene Of some of the hardest fighting
on the first day of the battle Of
Flanders. South of Westhoek the
terrain is marshy in places and in
the wooded section the Germans had
strengthened their position by con.
structing deep dugouts. These OBJ
stacles, however, did not deter the
onward rush Of the British troops
this morning. Details of the fighting
are not yet available, but it is known
that the British troops forged for
ward in the wake of protecting bar
rage from their artillery and achieved
most of the objectives in remark
ably short space of time

CAMPAIGN PROMISES.

One of the positive promises, made
without any ifs or ''ands' by
Moses Alexander when he was a can
didate for governor was that if he
were elected governor he would reduce
state taxes a million dollars year
and soon eliminate state taxes en-
tirely. Well, Mr.. Alexander was
elected, and he was reelected, the
last time with a good working
majority in both houses, and complete
control of all state boards, and prac-
tically all state offices. BUT-what
has become of that promised reduction
in state taxes Where is that mil
lion dollars year saving in state
taxes? Mr.. Taxpayer. get your tax
receipts for the past ten years and see
if you can locate any saving, let alone
anything approaching all state taxes.

WHY SHOULD THEY WORRY?

Actions, not words, court. They
are the true index of what one is.
The socialist who throws fit every
time the government prods Emma
Goldman and other anarchistic allies
of the Kaiser is at heart no better
than the Goldmans and their ilk.
Remember birds of feather flock
together, and what man really is in
mind and heart cannot be long con-
cealed by empty and meaningless
mouthy pretentions
Socialism has too long been used as
a cloak to cover a multitude of forms
of disloyalty and treason, and the war
is tearing off the veneer.
Why should socialist worry when
Uncle Sam puts crimp in an
archist, unless one brand of socialists
believes in and sympathize with
anarchy? And, if this sort of social
ism is not really anarchy what is it,
and why is Russell and Spargo and
socialists of their mind kicked out of
the party by the socialist leaders
The answer is plain. Russell and
Spa,go are pro- American. That is
their offense. They refuse to be
mental and moral slaves. They insist
on being free to do, and think as their
conscience and mind dictates. They
insist on standing for American ideals
when these ideals are based on justice
and human liberty. And for this
they find themselves out of harmony
with the socialist party bosses, TO,
socialism is a boss controlled move.

Think of it! No place in the
socialist party in America for mem

their stand for human liberty ant

democracy against military autocracy

LET THEM TAKE THEIR OWN
MEDICINE.

We're it not such a serious matter
the L. w. w. attack on the farmer
would be funny The idea of class
ing the farmer as an enemy of the
race, clubbing him a pharasite, and
putting him in the list with what the
rabid reformer calls the exploiting
class. All our life, and especially
during our youth, we worked more OF
less on farm, and when one Of these
l. W. w. agitators begins eliminating
the farmer from the laboring class
we rise in protest. Statistics prove
farming to be one of the professions
and investments of small returns on
invested capital. Farming is also
full of risk. Fat years like 1916 are
few and far between. Lean wears
are the rule. We remember the late
COS when the Palouse and Potlatch
farmer lost about all he possessed

The government has absolute proof
that some of the |. W. W. leaders are
German spies who are attacking the
United States thru an alleged labor

the traitors, and conspiring to pre-
vent, as far as possible, the harvest

to paralyze American industry, and by
wholesale destruction of growing crops
defeat us by starvation. Let no mar
be deceived.
