pie for local self-government From
TeutOn ancestors on the banks of the
Elbe through British progentitors who
had wrung from the unwilling tyrants
the liberties guaranteed in Magma
Charta, the Petition of Right, the Bill
Of Rights, and the Habeas Corpus Bill,
they had inherited the spirit of freedom.
The Declaration of independence, the
Articles of Confederation, and the Fed
eral Constitution, palpitate with this
spirit. There is no understanding these
great documents at all if we fail 10
discover the sensitive jealousy for local
self-government which pervades them
in every part.
These then were the great fundament-
al principles of primitive Amer1canlsm
namely intense christian convictions, in
tense devotion to womanly modeSty and
domestic virtue, and jealous care for
individual freedom and local govern
ment. In the maintenance of these prin-
ciples the fathers of the Republic show
ed uncalculating fidelity. Commercial
considerations could not seduce them to
to depart from their convictions, nor
could any pleas for a spurious progress
corrupt their principles. From these
principles sprung a civilization Of the
highest type, and any declension from
them must lead to a lower type of civil
ization. There is nothing in the condt-
ton Of the present which requires the re-
nunciation of these principles. On the
contrary, everything around us and ev-
erything before us call for their asser-
ton and maintenance.
We can not have an enduring Republic
without an abiding christianity. which
accepts the authority of the inspired
Book, and walks in the ordinances of the
living God. AS Lamartine well said;
An atheistic republican1sm can not be
heoric. When you terrify it, it yields.
When you would buy if, it becomes
venal. 1t would be very foolish to i'm
molate itself. Who would give 1t cred
it for the sacrifce-the people migrate
full and God nonexistent?'
NJ. De Tocqueville speaks to the same
purpose when he says: "Despotism may
govern without faith, but liberty can
not How is it possible that society
should escape destruction If the moral
tie be not strengthened in proportion as

REPAINTED LINES-AN ALL
NIGHT JOB TO SAVE THEM

In order that pedestrians might
not violate the new law which says
that no one shall cross diagonally
at the street intersections that are
marked, the white lines were re-
painted last evening. 1t took two
men all night to keep automobiles
from running across the lines and
the marshal and night watch stood
guard today until the paint was dry.
If anyone walks outside the lines
now he will not be able to use the
plea, Il didn't see the lines" The
shrill whistle of the marshal and
the violent exertion of his arms had
a difficult time to stop one car and
it was within a foot of the line be-
fore it stopped. But the watch was
without one car crossing
the lines.

MACHINE DROVE OFF BRIDGE
Ralph Sherman Injured When He
Lost Control of Motor

Ralph Sherman, son of Sheriff
Sherman and member of the Abb
lenee National Guard company, was
seriously injured yesterday after
noon when he lost control OF the
motorcycle he was riding and drove
off the bridge west of Sand Springs
into a creek.
Ralph was riding Pope motor
cycle that belonged to his brother,
Guy. He had been riding at a fairly
slow speed but when he tried to
slow down on coming to the curve at
the bridge, he discovered the gas
would not shut off He became ex-
cited and lost control of the ma
chine, turning the gas on farther in
the excitement instead of slowing
down.
He struck the railing of the bridge
glancing blow, throwing him high
into the air. The motorcycle ran on
across the bridge and fell over on
its side. Ralph fell on the back
part of his head and shoulders in
the creek IS feet below
His leg was broken above the
knee when he struck the railing
and he suffered many scratches The
sloping bank and water in which
he fell probably saved his life. 1t Is
reported that he is doing nicely but
suffers great deal of pain
The accident was no fault of |
Sherman as he has ridden the
machine a great deal and has al
ways been quite careful. 1t is

SEPTEMBER 5 IS THE TIME
FOR DRAFT TO TAKE EFFECT

There is still a chance for Abilene
boys as well as Kansas boys to show
their patriotism and pick out the
organization they want to join, II
they so desire. There can still be
voluntary enlistments in Kansas
The registration June did not
stop this and up until September 5,
when the draft will be exercised,
the Kansas boys may still join the
National Guard, navy or the regu-
lar army.
The registration of the young
men eligible to the draft did not
mean the actual draft itself. New
exemption boards will be appointed
and they will make up the exemp-
ton lists in each district. After this
is done the government will call for
so many men from each district and
these will be picked from the list
of eligibles
II the Kansas young men want
TO get busy and complete the quota
of men needed by volunteering
either in the National Guard or the
army or navy the government will
permit and be glad to get them.
The fact remains that there has
not been near the volunteer enlist
ments that are needed Those who
think that volunteering is better
than being drawn by the jury wheel
method still have ample opportun-
ity to do so and there is three
months to do it in as volunteer en-
listments will not be shut off until
the draft actually goes into effect
and it is announced that this will be
on September s.

population of the county has made
an increase of only 8 per cent. II

Cnurcn as WHOle III lHe ulSLIlCt
had made an advance of SO per cent
there were seven churches that had
lost 16 per cent. There are AZ
