You can't become n man Of mark, a
man of rcal achievement, so long as
you are but an echo of other people.
You can't possibly progress as YOU
should In your chosen life work. For
the highest success demands vigorous,
alert, independent thinking. And your
thinking Is the opposite Of This, as re-
vealed by your blind. uncrltlcal asslm-

Withe the Americans-British Front
July 6.-Until Germany accepts the
conditions as laid down by President
Wilson, she cannot have peace. She
can have peace tomorrow if she ac-

British Premier Llloyd-George gave
this message to the American troops
in training on the British front, after
he had seen them at review today
The Premier reiterated forcefully thai
the Allies do not covet a single yard Of
German soil and do not desire to dis
possess Germany of the rightful inheri-
lance or the German people Of their
legimate rights.
He said the arrival in France of
million Americans had made the Ger
man Kaiser realize that his defeat was
certain He declared the Emperor
had many illusions regarding the war
one of which was that the new Ameri
can troops would not be capable of
meeting those of Germany trained to
the minute
AS Lloyd-George concluded, the coun
try-s.de resounded with three cheers.

QUEENSLAND LIKES
LEAGUE PRINCIPLES
Labor Party Tries State Market.
ing Two Years and Is Return
ed to Power.

The principles upon which the Non
partisan League platform is based
have just received striking vindica-
ton on the other side of the world.
The people of Queensland, Australia,
recently returned the labor govern.
ment to power by an overwhelming
majority after it had established and
operated for M and two years many
state-owned marketing and other pub
lie utilities, such rs are advocated by
the League in America. OF the new
members of the parliament elected,
48 are members Of the Labor party
and only "a represent the profteers.
AS soon as the Laborites went into
power two years e they began to
establish state-owned marketing facil-
tiles, such as elevators, packing plants,
stock yards, slaughter houses, stor-
age plants, ware houses, bank and a
state insurance department. Every one
OF these things is demanded by the
League platform.
People indorse Policy.
After two years of trial, the people
Of Queensland have endorsed the condi-
tons established by greatly increasing
the Labor party vote. It is said that
one of the principle benefits from
these state owned facilities was a
great reduction in the cost of living.
For instances roast sirloin was cut
from "a to 13 cents a pound. fillet
steak from SO to is cents a pound;
rump steak form 80 to Is cents a
pound; insurance rates from about
$17.62 to $3.50. While these great
reductions we're enjoyed by the
consumers, the farmers and stock
growers received better prices than
ever. 1t vas because the government
was acting as midd!eman in many in.
stances and distributing farm pro-
duce at cost.
The campaign was fought to a con-
clusion on the straight out issue,
shall the government enter the field
of industry and help the people, or
shall it con1ne itself to governing"
The Liberals made much of their slo.
gan, "The Duty of Government is To
Govern and Not To Trade" But the
people had tasted the benefits of gov.
eminent trading" and came back to
its support in greater numbers than
before.

An appropriation of S25, 0O0, 900 has

for river and canal haulage now being
constructed, will be followed by others
very quickly. The program covers
the entire United States.
Waterways Were Abandoned.
This will work a revolution in
economy in the transportation of
freight. Water routes are the cheap.
est routes known for transportation.
The wonder in the minds of many is
that we ever abandoned our great in
land waterways particularly on the
Mississippi and its tributaries. The
explanation lies in, the fact that our
railroads we're in private hands that
had become by virtue OF. their great
industrial power able to prevent the
use of these natural and cheap water
ways and compel the nation to use
its rail routes almost exclusively.
More than a generation ago water
transportation by our river systems
began to fall into decay through the
exercise of this railroad influence.
The truth is, these two methods Of
transportation naturally supplement,
each other and when they are used
together the nation will benefit enor.
mously in cheaper transportation.
