/. A. BROWNE FOR
State SENATOR
BY THE REPUB-
LICAN COUNTY COM
MITTEE
TO SUCCEED SEN. HUFFMAN
AL G. Sparks, Democrat, Wants
to Resign as Representative
and Run for Same
Office

The Republican central committee
Of Cherokee county held a called meet
ing at the Chamber of Commerce
rooms in Columbus Friday afternoon.
Committeeman from 81 Of the II pre-
cincts were present.
Chairman Robson, of Galena, pre-
sided, and announced that the prin-
cipal object Of the meeting was to
fill the vacancy on the ticket for the
nomination of state senator from the
Tenth District, to succeed Chas. s.
Huffman, resigned.
The following nominations were
made: H. A. Browne, mayor Of Ga
lena; David Mackie, Of Scammon, and
Claude McNay, of Galena.
McNay Withdrew his name before
the ballot was taken. The vote on the
remaining two candidates resulted
in the nomination of Browne by II
votes, while Mackie received IA votes.
A number of the county candidates
were present, and made interesting
talks about the campaign. Those who
spoke were F. w. Boss, candidate for
district Judge; o. w. Fail, candidate
for sheriff; Fred Simkin, candidate for
clerk of the district court, and Oscar
NJ. Yount, candidate for representative
from the 23rd district. All seemed to
think the prospect excellent for a
clean sweep of the county by the re-
publicans at this election.
Democrats Also Met
The Democratic committee also held
a meeting at the court room.
The principal object Of the meeting
was to receive the resignation Of o.
W. Sparks, of Galena, who declined
to run for representative, as he wants
to be the party candidate for the
state senate, instead.
The committee got into wrangle
over q point Of law, and there is some
uncertainty as to whether Sparks
could get his name off the ballot, when
he had already been declared the of
fetal nominee for representative, by
primary election, and whether his
name could be stuck back on the ticket
for another office.
It was finally decided that the COM
mittee would adjourn for one week,
and meet again September 9th. At
that time it is supposed that Sparks
will be nominated for the senate, as
he fatty refuses to run for represen-
tative.
His resignation from the legislature
nomination will leave a clear field
for the Republican nominee Oscar M.
Yount, unless the democrats should
also decide 10 put up somebody to fill
that vacancy.

go AHEAD"

~You ask me what think is the
business mans duty to his country al
this hour. In my opinion, his duty
can be summed up in two words: GO
AHEAD."-Thomas Edison.
Advice more sound was never given
cut. Edison is a large man, with q
broad perspective and far-seeing Wis
ion.
He scents the danger that turks in
the foolish notion that the war calls
for universal stinginess; that we
should forego all the pleasures and
comforts that heretofore made life
worth the living and withdraw into an
existence Of dreary and monotonous
self-denial.
The government does not ask it. We
are asked to save food, and that is
right. Wastefulness is crime at any
time and more especially now. We
are asked to conserve in the use OF
other commodities that are needed in
the prosecution of the war. All of
which we should do gladly.
But we are not asked to stop living
as near as possible our customary lives
Of work and diversion, Of serious
thought and amusement, of appearing
well and doing good. We are not asE-
ed to clog the wheels Of business by
going without things we need to make
the home cheerful and ourselves con-
tented.
Edison says "Go Ahead" Buy that
now fall suit if you have the money.
You can't help the war any by hang
ing on your money. The Belgians
need your old garments, anyway. Pre-
pare for Christmas as usual. Keep up
the beautiful customs of the past.
"Go Ahead" live as usual, so long
as II does not conflict with the Gov
ernment's needs. e..
We can't win the war by stopping
business.

BOB WHITE SHOWS
UP EXCELLENT ORE

Specimens of ore dirt exhibited by
John Newton, general manager Of the
Bob White mine, located west Of Car
din, are the richest yet produced in
that immediate district. 1t is esti-
mated that the recovery will run 259S
on the ore dirt recently shot into be-
tween the depth of ia and 1875 feet.
The dirt at 104 to ia feet shows up
a good recovery which is better than
ten per cent.
The Commerce Mining and Royalty
Company, which is developing the
prospect, have two shafts into ore
dirt and are now drifting. Slight wat
er difficulties have been encountered
which are being taken care of by six
inch pump.

THIS OUGHT TO HELP

Mining machinery and equipment

In the French coal mines and Lens

according to advices received from
abroad. Although the Germans aban-
doned the French mines only a short
time ago. the preliminary work of
placing the pits in workable condi-
ton has already progressed to a
point where orders have been nlaced
with American manufacturers for
millions of dollars worth of machin-
cry. 1t is estimated that the de-
vastated mines will be restored to
normal condition in IS months to
five years.
Secretary Redfield of the depart

Coal association that this country

THE LOST CHANCES

Whenever I am starting out
Upon a fresh new year.
I always stop to think about
The one no longer here,
The year that's dead I travel back
And let my memory run
In contemplation through the stack
OF things I could have done
I check the deeds l meant to do
With those I did, and find
That 1 neglected quite a. few
Real chances to be kind.

" To comfort and to cheer,
And yet postponed them for A day

And then to my disgrace I find
That had l paused to smile
And do those little actions kind
I'd not have lost mile.
learn now that the chance has gore
That have missed a lot,
For all those deeds could have done
As easily as not.
And wh2n at last life is through
And all my course is run,
In deep regret I shall review
The deeds I could have done.
And I shall wish I had to tell
Where nothing may be hid
The many things I could as wei!

W0Rk|NGMAN HAVE PLAYED
NO PART IN MOB VIOLENCE

1t is significant that in all the
mobbing and other lawlessness which
we have experienced to our national
shame in the last year, not one case
can be attributed to those many
people think of as composing mobs-
the working people on the farm and
In the factory. They have all been
silk-hat mobs helped out occasionally
by some hired thugs. More surpris-
ing yet, our governments, state and
national, with all their facilities for
experimenting and furnishing, crim-
inals. have been unable to land ever
one silk-hat mobbist. What can we
make Of this latter fact? Are our
officials stupid policemen or do legal
restraints apply only to the common
people? We ask to know.

The big press reports that the pres

of this organization is to be "Pros-

keep wages up and thus avoid bread
lines and what they call "bolshev-
ISM" But analysis Of their proceed
ings shows that big business has
learned nothing and like other auto
Gratis forgotten nothing.
The closer union of the special in
terests, such as the packers, the steel
trust, the coal barons, and others Of
like character that prey on the pros
perity of the people, is certainly
sinister in itself. And their positive
program includes frankly the use Of

labor. Their motto here is "Organ-

| It takes little Imagination to pic

mercy of prodteering phrasemakers.
A good illustration Of how little their
phrasemaking has to do with reality
is found in the speech Of John D.
Rockefeller, Jr., before the conven-
ton. He emphasized, says the re-
ports that the community as well as
capital, management, and labor was

not know how this same mans
Colorado Fuel and Iron company has
besotted, befouled and Prussianized
the state of Colorado for years? The
mining towns ruled by a company
sheriff of the other big mining COM

WILSON'S PEACE TALK.


Progressive people everywhere are
hoping that President Wilson, with
the help of the Democratic elements
among our European allies, will be
able to force just peace. The hope
Is almost hysterical with some be-
cause they realize that Wilson is the
only real hope we have. Our allies
in Europe all have secret treaties
which their governments will want
to carry out to maintain that hair
trigger balance which has existed
between their respective ambitions.
There has been word of mouth
acceptance of Wilson's IA points,
but secret treaties and aims viciously
contradictory to these points are
also being maintained with great
tenacity
The Presidents task at the peace
table is also increased by the fact
of peace unacceptable to a group of
reactionary United States senator's
men who place private interests
above all else and who rode into
office on the political trickery of
100 per cent loyalty. This fact.
probably more than the European
ambitions. threatens democratic
peace, for with home support of the
right kind and as the head of the
strongest world power. Wilson could
dictate where he could not convince.
! Why do the privilege seekers
abroad and at home oppose a just
and democratic peace? The an
swer is simple yet often overlooked
even by capable observers Large
predatory groups have never been
able to cooperate except in the
common fight against the asnira-
tons of the toilers in factory and
, field. The only cooperation known
in big business is that Of force One
group buys out the other or forces
the other ont Of business. The old
railroad pools, for instance, failed
not because of prosecution by gov
eminent, as was alleged but be-
!
not cooperate. The cooperation
! later developed in railroad circles
! was due to the fact that the Nor
gan banking firm scrambled them
! together under its own financial
power. The separate privilege seek
ing groups In Europe and our own
| are likewise forced by their sys-
| tenn to grab for maximum advan-
tage. They naturally cannot CO.
; operate; they have not been brought
: under one management. If France
gets Alsace-Lorraine or England
! gets the German colonies, the others
| must have what diplomats call COM
pensations at the expense of weaker
peoples.
It is Wilson's task to chain these
! wild beasts demanding imperialistic
advantages and consequently more
wars. We pray for his success and
at the same time we are aware of
the almost hopeless magnitude Of
his task.

JUNK THE SHIPS.

Word comes from Paris that the
American commissioners to the Peace
Conference are in favor of sinking
the surrendered enemy warships and
they will resist any proposition to
distribute them on the basis of naval
losses. That r. q mighty good posi-
tion to take, and peace lovers the
world over would be pleased to read
some morning that the Peace Con-
ference had decided to sink every
warship in the world, which would
spell the end of war for all time to
come.
But the commissioners will do
nothing of the kind. The time for
such bold action, however merito-
rious it may be, has not yet arrived.
Britain banks on her navy. Without
it she feels she would lose her supre-
macy among the nations of the earth
and her commerce would dwindle
into insignificance. We doubt If she
would consent to turn her navy over
to League Of Nations to police the
seas else she would lose the tremen-
dous prestige held by her since the
destruction Of the Spanish Armada
in 1888.
The nations of the world have
been urging their peoples to conserve
to the limit ever since the beginning
of the war. The saving habit is be-
coming fixed part of our lives. 1t
would set a. bad example to waste
the valuable material in the enemy
warships. Would it not be much
more in keeping with the spirit of
the times to junk the whole outfit
and use the proceeds from the SAL
wage to in a measure reimburse Bel
GUM, Serbia, Poland, France and the
other unfortunate countries whose
people suffered such material losses
from the war. -, ..
If our voice we're heard in Paris
we would urge this procedure with
all the power we could command. -
