fair to assume that many repub-
lican voters of the Middle West
and Far West are still sincere
and resolute in their opposition
to these prophets and exponents
of reaction, with whom the.
have nothing in common. 1t is
equally reasonable to suppose
that these folks back home"
will expect their progressive rep
resentatives in congress to keep
the faith.
Here, then, is a situation that
all may watch with interest, il
not with hope. The Progress
sives" are all dressed up. "
There is an invitation from Boss
Penrose and his reactionary asso-
ciates to return to the Old Guard
and the old ways. There is likely
to be an urgent appeal from the
plain people at home to remain
aloof from these charmers and
stand true to the progressive
principles.
The Progressive" senators
and congressman are. indeed,

KILL FLIES SAVE LIVES

To rid a town of flies, every
body must do his bit.
There are many kinds of flies
all harmful.
Flies breed in filth, feed on it,
live in it, and contaminate every
thing they lay their hairy little
legs on.
1t is a very good thing to swat,
trap, or poison flies, but it is
still better to prevent their breed
ing:
By keeping stables clean.
BY removing all manure at
least twice a week.
BY keeping garbage In recep-
tacles, with close.htting covers,
which should be emptied and
washed out frequently.
BY building only fiy-proof priv
les when sewers are not available.
A pair of flies born in April
may give origin to millions by
August. Do not let those mil
lions come into existence. Keep
the first pair from breeding.s
Strict cleanliness and immedi-
ate destruction of all filth are the
best measures against flies.
Outhouses. homes, markets,
bakeries and all food establish
ments should be screened against

Worlds Speed Record
Made on Red Crown

When Ralph De Palma, in a
trial lap over the Santa Monica
course. broke the worlds load
race record recently, he was lun-
ming on the Standard Oil Com
pany's Red Crown gasoline. De
Palma covered the course at an
average rate of 1888 miles per
hour, the fastest officially record
ed speed ever made on any road
course in the world;
1t is a remarkable tribute to
to the full and dependable power
of Red Crown" that it should
have been the choice of the great
est automobile driver of the day,
and that through it's use he was
able to set up such a remarkable
record. The gasoline supplied
him was not in any way special
ly made for the purpose, but
De Palma filled his tank from
the regular gasoline wagon on
the garage floor of the Packard
representatives in Los Angeles.
This record again demonstrates
the truth of the Standard Oil
Company's claim that Red Crown,
straight distilled, all-refinery gas
oline, with it's full and contin-
uous chain of boiling points is
absolutely dependable for easy
starting, quick and smooth ac-
celeration. full-power ard long
mileage.

CELEBRATE SEPTEMBER 7TH

Now that Our Boys" are
coming from France and the
training camps, it would be a
splendid idea to plan for a grand
reception and show them that
we appreciate what they have
done for us and our country.
Why not hold a patriotic cele-
bfation on September Z, 1919,
the date on which our first con-
tingent left here for Fort Riley,
Kans.
The first contingent consisted
of six men, as follows: Silas
L. Jenkins, Clifford B. Stewart,
Aubrey o. Bray, Robert Thatch-
er. Albert w. Hawkins and
Charles H. Murphy.
The first contingentmade splen-
did individual records as Ameri-
can soldiers, fighting in the
trenches in France, and Charles
Murphy made the supreme sac
rifce, dying in France.
All the other boys of the
several contingents from Gra-
ham county will be home by
September and participate in the
celebration as the guests of the
people of Graham county.
Our own Company B" will
be home again, though we will
miss Joe Swift, who met a hero's
death in the Argonne Forest.
Let us make September, 1919,
a holiday in Graham county and
hold a big celebration for our re-
turning soldiers.

portunity than most opponents

EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY

The socialist dream that laws
can make all men equal is found
ed on a misinterpretation of the
constitution that all men shall be
free and equal, overlooking the
fact that this referred to politi-
cal status.
To give all men equal oppor-
tunities before the law and un-
der the constitution was the
highest concept of the founders
of this government, but it was
never dreamed by them that this
referred to material conditions.
To fail to take into account in
dividual selfishness and the nat.
ural weaknesses of the undevel-
oped individual. to say nothing
of natural talent and natural
born cussedness and ineffciency,
would seem to be pure folly.
All the government can do is
to give each member Of society
an equal chance, but it cannot
make that individual take it and
make the most Of it. 1t cannot
make men or women wise, frugal,
Industrious, or intelligent.
The false, un-American, hypo.
crital Interpretation of the con-
stitution that laws can make all
men equal, would destroy all in
dividual values and only make
all men equal by making all men
cyphers under autocracy.

If any republican opponent of

ton, What would ! have said if

There are forty-seyen reasons
why republican senators, all their
boisterous talk to the contrary,
will ratify a peace treaty con-
tanning provisions for league

reasons need be mentioned 1t
is that they haven't the hardi-
hood to frustrate the worlds
