WHAT oNE RANCuEn DL,

G. T. Lacl;ev. who. lives on ihp
road near the shoestring Ditch
about half way to Nyssa. did a con
structive piece of road work recently.
Mr.. Laokey got his team into action
and dragged about a mile and a half
of road. II made travel easier for
himself and for his neighbors. n
saved the county money.
There is no doubt that all the roads
In this section would be vastly Inn
proved by timely dragging. and the
success that Mr.. Lackey achieved ~
worthy OF emulation. Some day
when the state highway system IL
completed In this section. the High
way commission will institute the
section system and have all the
roads patrolled Until that time the
County Court might determine
whether or not II can inaugurate
such a system. The county will have
TO do something about the roads that
are not on the State program any
way, and there IL no time like the
present TO investigate the merits OF
the proposed patrol system with the
work divided among the ranchers
along the roads who will be bene-
benefited by keeping them In shape.

PRINCIPLES, NOT Ti,. IAN

The place that political party
holds in the scheme OF government
I'm the United States Is often the sub
5ect of dispute The serious student
OF history or civil government never
champions the cause of those who
would abolish parties
Those who would discard the
party system assume a serious handi-
cap. They must not only prove; that
parties are not the proper means;
that thruout the history OF the Unit
ed States they have failed to func-
tion; but they must also prove the
superiority OF the individual leader
ship In advancing and securing ac-
ceptance of political principles. This,
we believe. Is a large undertaking.
II Is a trulsm that principles are
immutable; that men are falible
Under different conditions men act
differently. II has been too often
proven true to be disputed that mon
elected TO office find that they can
not or will not adhere to the meas
ures they advocated during the cam
paign-the measures themselves may
be ever 80 good but the men who
advanced them lacked the courage To
carry them forward. or some other
reason, often undiscernible. failed TO
act.
There are other reasons. however,
that makes II dangerous for a nation
TO put it's trust In individual leader
ship. the most important of which II
the liability for error In judgment OF
the man.
II II impossible for the people az n
whole to know any OF the men who
might aspire 10 the pinnacle OF In
dlvidual leadership. The yastness OF
our country proves that; while In the
case OF principles pronounced by
party platforms; these can be exam [,
ined by the rules OF logic and dis
eliminating judgment anywhere, and /
at any time.
Principles can only be successfully |
translated into action by the cooper
atlve effort OF those who adher to /
them-that means political parties.
Scattered individuals. no matter how
great their faith In what they be-
lieye to be the true course OF action
for the nation can accomplish moth
determination iss required To
place these doctrines before the peo-
pie.
There are too many examples OF
the truth OF this statement to permit
OF It's contradiction. Witness the
slavery question: Wendell Phillips,
John Brown and hosts OF others
agitated this question for years, but
Il took the crystalized efforts, thru
the agency OF a political party and a
war to achieve the ends sought.
woman's Suffrage. Prohibition and |
many other great reforms during the
past half century, failed until the
political parties endorsed them.
The history OF early republics is
replete with examples OF the failure
OF individual leadership and personal
parties giving allegiance TO the man
instead OF the government or party.
In our own nation. most pointed ex-
ample OF this is shown in the effects
of the election OF James Monroe,

Effect of Hard City Water

In many cities the water Is so hard
that satisfactory family washings
can only be done by the power laun-
dry. The city water leaves tls
clothes dingy, yellow and harsh.
The Institute also gives exact infor-
nation about the different laundry
supplies used by the laundryman,
and their effect upon the various
textiles entSisted TO his care.
This service has been developed to
a point where the modern laundry
man knows quite as much about
textiles as the manufacturer who
made them; more, undoubtedly,
about their proper handling in the
wash. And this knowledge he uses
in a most efficient way
Here is another significant fact,
which has been clearly proved by
careful tests. The modern laundry
methods practically provide com
plete sanitation aud immunity from
attacks OF germ life.
The heat of the baths, drying tum-
blers, and ironing tables, together

the modern laundry Is probably the
most sanitary Of all public service in.
stitutions
Should we attempt detailed de-
soription of all the metohds and sya-
TENS employed we should weary but
quite as surely surprise you.
Science. the often unapprociated
servant OF the human family, is do
ing great things for the family
washing. Il has placed the house
wife in a position to shift one more
irksOme household burden, and in
the doing, provide more time for herr
self and abroader and better service
for her family,
by. all means use the power laundry
freely for all kinds Of washing, with
the assurance that there are no bet
tor methods; and that the cost is no
more than other methods which can
not, and do not, measure up to the
power laundry.

BRAKES ARE NEGLECTED..
Effort Made at Wilmington +,
Standardize Adjustment.

1renee du Pont. president of the F..
l. du Pont de Nemours & Co, in his
capacity as All officer of the safety
council of Delaware. suggested at a
luncheon Of the Wilmington Automo-
bile Trade Association, which COM
prises nearly all the dealers and gar
agemen in the city. that a standard
ICED charge for adjustment. equaliza-
ton and inspection of brakes be
adopted. This. he pointed out, would
stimulate the systematic attention
to what he considered the most prev
alent, though easily remedied, defect
of motor cars in ordinary use-the
lack of quick acting and dependa BILE
brake power.
1t was his idea, he said, that many
men who service their own cars hest
tate to give the brake adjustment the
attention they know it should have,
because 1t IL smudgy job. and they
also hesitate to give permanent In
structions to garage men from the
uncertainty as to just how much he
will be charged for the job.
A committee was appointed from the
meeting to push the matter. This
movement will undoubtedly lead to a
st and rdixation Of prices charged to
motorists, in SO far as it is practical.
