foreverything for the good of the
town and it's surrounding country,
and the other class who are of NO
perceptible value to the community
in which they live.
T. j. Ponton, secretary of the club,
responded to Some Things Provi-
dence cannot do" After stating that
during his administration as secre-
tary last year and recalling that
much had been accomplished, he felt,
with the aid of the increased mem
bership we might do more. He de-
clared that through the Arkasas Val
ley Sugar Beet & Irrigated Land Co.,
its president, w. S. Partridge, and
the Commercial club Holly had be-
come known from coast to coast as
great alfalfa and Holstein dairy
country. Mr.. Ponton also predicted
that eventually Holly would have
street car lines and skyscraper build
ings on its street corners.
]. A. Pierce responded very ear
nestly and very impressively to
Cows" Mr.. Pierce told of how the
early settler and his few cows were
largely responsible for the present
developed country-not only tl,is
country but all other prairie and
homestead sections The home
steader and farmers who have man
aged to keep few cows and stock
have largely made this and other
countries. He said that the COW had
helped to develop Illinois, Iowa, Neb-
raska and Kansas in very great
measure, and that every business
man should be interested in the
growth of the dairy business and
more purebred stock. He felt sure
that the 5000 and $500 per acre land
of Iowa and Illinois would be dupli-
Gated on many of the present dairy
farms of Colorado if the present
owners would get few cows and
stock. Mr.. Pierce was greeted by
hearty applause.
Rev. Wiley X. Wright, pastor of
the Presbyterian church, responded
to Service" Rev. Wright said that
work. formerly regarded so essential
to growth, was rather selfish; to just
work might mean only personal gain,
while, service, which has been given
so much significance by the war,
meant something for all of us-it
was broader and means more to man.
kind than the plain old word of just
work. He thought the banquet and
the auspices under which 1t was CIV
en- augured for a better and bigger
Holly and happier and more prosper
ous people.
A. P. Knuckey hit the keynote in
his response to Good Roads, when
he emphatically declared that before
we could have or get good roads or
anything else, we would have to "get
together" He deplored factions and
hoped that Immediately after the
coming spring election the business
men of Holly would be ''all one
bunch" Mr.. Knuckey was cheered
to the echo.
The Holly chieftain., 1919-02-06

John Duncan, generally regarded
for his long residence here and who
knows all of the ups and downs" of
the towns growth, was given a spe-
.cial privilege by the POSTMASTER to
Roast the Club" But John "had
IA heart" and we're still here. But
Mr.. Duncan made splendid point
when he commended the many din
ners, suppers, etc, prepared in the
past by the women of the town for
the many and various occasions, and
then significantly asked why our wo-
men folks were not at the banquet
that evening. He recalled how the
good women in days gone by had did
a barbecue and marveled at the sue
cess with which it was put over. He
thought the ladies should be allowed
place at the banquet board. He
was warmly applauded for we all
knew he was right.
Mayor L. M. Appel was given free
lance position without subject. He
said the best piece of news as he ar
rived home last Thursday morning
from a long shopping tour Of the
wholesale markets was that the Holly
Commercial club was waking up and
that Mr.. A. M. Dicks had been chosen
as its president, and expressed his
hearty assurance that Mr.. Dicks
would keep things moving. He
heartily commended the banquet and
the advisability of these "get-togetn-
er" affairs more often as means of
better understanding of each 9TH
er's view points, mutual advantage
and greater achievement. He closed

st. Louis Globe Democrat: The first
report of the annual international
sweepstakes race of 500 miles at the
motor speedway at indianapolis
covers the killed and the wounded.
The winner Is next announced. This
is giving news its proper proportions.
Certainly the people are more inter-
ested in the loss of life than in what
driver and what machine sur
yived the dangers and came in ahead

thing exhilarating in watching 5Oo-

be something shocking even TO the
most hardened spectators in the kill
ing of three men and the injuring OF
two others. the incidents" of the
race Saturday.
This is not an exceptional case. The
list of killed and wounded is regu-

speed maniacs. These lives are

A PREposrERoUs SUGGESTION.

The New York Sun very properly condemns
as preposterous the proposal to put the rail-
roads back under the control OF the interstate
commerce commission. A secretary OF trans
portation working in conjunction with some
competent rate making authority to be created
seems, as the Sun suggests, a much more rea-
sonable solution of the problem the return OF
the roads presents.
The commission did about everything that
was possible for body with its powers to do
to bring the railroads to the verge of ruin. They
had been the most efficient transportation sys-
tenn on earth. They gave better service at low
er rates than any other. They were sef-sup-
porting, enterprising, prosperous and adding
year by year to their facilities for public serv-
ice But the commission, servile to the dema-
gogic hue and cry then raised throughout the
land, soon brought all this to end and so
nearly destroyed their earning power and Dor
rowing power that they were on the point OF col
lapse when the war began and more was expect
ed of them than ever before.
How government operation has nearly COM
pleted their ruin, making joke of the service
and loading the taxpayers with colossal annual
deficits is known to all men and need not be re-
viewed The roads are gasping for breath, and
to reinstate the commission in authority over
them would be like leaving patient in need OF
first emergency aid to the quacks whose lgnor-
ance had brought him to the point of death.
The daily Gate City and constitution-Democrat. (Keokuk, Iowa) 1916-1922, 1919-06-03
three Killed and Two Injured

volved--it would not justify the reck-
less squandering of life. Who cares
about speed capacities greater than
are permitted on any road or street
in the country? There are abundant
records as to the merits OF every car
OH the market, the sort of records that
impress prospective purchasers OF
cars, affecting durability, cost of up
keep, simplicity Of mechanism and
other elements that appeal to people
who have no desire to become speed
fiends. Automobiles in general are not
popularized by this mad race and the
advertising that the winning machine
and its close contenders get, is too
bloody and expensive to pay.
But aside from all other questions,
these races should be forbidden by
law, on humane grounds. They are
worse than Spanish bullfights, for
only horses and bulls are killed in
them, except in rare cases. Prize
fights to the finish are far less dan
gerous. The laws of every state
should prohibit such contests and the
advanced stand Indiana has taken on
so many other questions makes its
patronage or tolerance Of the annual
shambles on the motor speedway
hard to understand.
