CLEMENT A. BOWIE IDEAL
MAN FOR COUNTY CLERK

Whten man voluntarily leaves
his home and thriving business to
serve his country in the critical hour,
he deserves all the honor ever ac.
carded to any man.
When that same man returns home
and. fully aware of his high quail
ffcations asks for public office, It
should be granted to him if within
the possibility of those from he asks
1t. Such are the circumstances sur
rounding the candidacy of Clement A.
Bowie of Eckert who now seeks the
office of county clerk and recorder,
being candidate on the Republican
ticket
But Mr.. Bowie is not seeking the
office on account of his military rec
ord. He seeks the office because he
knows. and his past records will
bear him out-that he is eminently
qualified for the place. Again we
say, he is good man for the place.

During the past few weeks much
literature has been circulated by n
rival organization OF practitioners,
their stateemnts being based to a cer-
tain extent on the old law as here
tofore enacted and partly on matter
apparently devised by themselves.
Chiropractics state that before Sc.
curing license candidates are re-
quired to have a good common school
education, must have actually spent
1000 hours in a recognized school of
Chiropracty. and must give clean
bill as to moral character, certified to
by three PERSONS OF unquestionsd
moral repute.
When an organization of reputable
persons, whose mission is to relieve
human suffering, is so confident that

BIRD MCGUIRE SPEAKER
OF UNUSUAL INTEREST

There was fair sized crowd at
Elks' hall Tuesday evening to hear
Hon. Bird MCGUIRE. former Congress-
man from Oklahoma. speak on issues
OF the day from the Republican stand
point. That the meeting was not
better attended was due to the late
hour in which it was advertised.
Those who attended, however, are
loud in their praise of Mr.. Mcclure
for he is forceful speaker and
backs up his statements with proof
Mr.. MCGUIRE was six times elected
to the United States congress from

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OFFICE

The part of the county machinery
which means more than any other
to the rank and file of taxpayers of
the county, is the board of county
commissioners. In their hands rests
the responsibility for levying taxes
and expending the money thus raised
to the best advantage to the county.
The very nature Of their duties re-
quires men of tact, ability and good
judgment. It is difficult for county
board to please all the people. In
fact this is impossible, but the right
kind of county board will come near
er pleasing the majority and promot-
ing a harmonious and progressive
condition in their county than would
an equal number of men sedected
with less regard for their all around
fitness.
The Republicans are fortunate in
having men who combine best quail
ties for a good county commission.
w. T. McMurray and Swan Linman
did not seek their places on the Re-
publican ticket, but it was only after
persistent work by their friends that
they permitted their names to be
used. The Independent believes that
majority of the voters Of the county
will recognize the fitness and super
iority of these two candidates and will
elect them by a handsome majority.

HONOR TO CENTRALIA DEAD
National Commander and Party Visit
Graves Of Legion Men Killed Dur
ing City Parade.

The head of the American Legion
journeyed all the way to Centralia,
WASH. to pay homage Mt the graves
of the four men who were slain by
members of the /. w. w. last Armis-
tice day. Two hundred Legion men
and women accompanied Franklin
D'Olier. their national commander, on
his visit to the scene of the tragedy,
and stood with bowed heads in Noun
tain View cemetery as he pledged the
Legion to everlasting reverence to the
memory of its martyred members.
There was nothing of rancor in
D'Olier's reference to the men who
killed the peaceful paraders. But the
speech served warning, as hundreds of
other incidents of Legion history of
the last year have served warning,
that the Legion is wall of steel
against all advocates of violence,
whether they dub themselves "wob-
blies" or parlor bolshevists.
II come here as to the shrine of the
American Legion" said D'Olier, stand
ing at the foot of the grave of War
rem Grimm, killed at the head of the
Armistice day parade "Centralia will
mean to the Legion what Bunker Fill,
Gettysburg and Chateau Thierry mean
to the nation. At these places. the
spirit of America met the enemy and
triumphed. Here, in Centralia. the
spirit Of the American Legion likewise
met the enemy Of our country and tri-
umphed.'
AS representative of the nearly two
million members of the Legion, DOL
Ter laid wreath of flowers on Grimm's
grave. In the crowd We're Grimm's old
friends In Centralia and friends of
Dale Hubbard, Ben Casagranda and
Arthur McElfresh, who also We're slain.
at is fitting that here today we
should renew our pledge of patriotism
and devotion to law and order and
serve notice on the forces Of anarchy
that more than four million ex-service
men, who fought and defeated the foe
without, are now sworn to fight to the
death the foe within, who would work
injury to our sacred institutions. Our
inspiration shall be our martyrs and
the restraint shown by their outraged
comrades. By defeating ourselves to
the defense of our flag and all that
it means, a defense based on fairness
and justice, we shall prove that our
comrades in France and Centralia have
not died in vain" the commander con-
Guided.
