BOOTH ANNIVER-
SARY OF AMERICAS ORIGIN

The year 1920 is doubly signiff-
cant, historically. 1t marks the 300tn
anniversary of two important events
which led to the founding of the re-
public of the United States of Amer
lea. One is the signing of the May
flower Compact and the landing of
the Pilgrims; and the other is the
meeting of the first American legis-
lative assembly.
On November II, 1920, in the
cabin of the Mayflower, a tiny bark
lying off the Massachusetts coast,
little band of liberty-loying men,
from "Brittania," entered into what
history has styled the Mayflower
Compact This agreement bound the
/ adult males in the ships COM
pany into a civil body polite for the
better ordering, preserving, and fur
thering of their mutual ends. And it
provided for such just and equal
laws and offices as should be neces-
sary for the general good of the col
ony.
Ten days later, so records DR..
Charles w. Eliot's inscription on the
Pilgrim Memorial monument ut
Provincetown, Mass, the Mayflow-
er, carrying 1912 passengers, men,
and women and children, cast anchor
in this harbor 81 days from Ply
mouth, England.
This body polite, established and
maintained on this bleak and barren
edge of a wet wilderness, a state
without king or a noble, a church
without a bishop or priest, a demo-
cratic commonwealth, the members
of which were straitly tied to all care
OF each others good, and of the
whole by every one.
With long-suffering devotion and
sober resolution they illustrated for
the first time in history the prime
Piles of civil and religious liberty
and the practice of genuine democ-
racy.'
Meantime, uniformed of the Pill
grims, fellow-colonists of Captain
John Smith had met at James City
Jamestown), Virginia, for the first
American legislative assembly. On
July 80, 1919, they had thus broken
ground for the foundation of the
present democratic form of govern
ment in the United States.
This year Tin 1920 these events
are being commemorated in the
United States, in England and in
Holland. In August, the origin of
the Pilgrim movement will be cele-
brated in England. And early in
September, meetings will be held in
Holland in memory of the Pilgrim S
sojourn in that country.
In September, second Mayflow-
err will set sail from Southampton,
England, to follow to the American
shore the path taken by the original
Mayflower. But this second May
flower will be modern, and therefore
much more seaworthy than her
smaller predecessor.
This boat, carrying many promi-
Eent people of England, Holland
and the United States. will anchor
IN Proyincetown harbor in late Sep
TENDER Its arrival will perhaps
mark the browning dramatic episode
of the entire Tercentenary celebra-
tions.
The events will not be celebrated
in the United States by citizens of
Massachusetts and Virginia alone.
Nor solely by the New England and

CLOSE THE STABLE BEFORE THE
HORSE Is STOLEN

City Council Aroused Over Fire
Conditions-Plan Reorganization of
Department and Purchase of Better
Equipment"
The above was the title of the
leading story in Colfax paper few
days after the county seat had been
visited by a conflagration that
caused loss of a quarter of mil
lion dollars. Colfax's fire fighting
system was found to be entirely in
adequate to cope with big confla-
grafton and as a result the flames
spread from the building where they
started to many nearby structures.
A six-story flour mill and feed store
were wiped out and three families
were made homeless through the de-
struction of their residences.
Monday morning of this week, only
eight days after the big mill fire, al
most an entire block on Mill street,
back of the Colfax hotel, was wiped
out by fire, representing a loss of
approximately 100000. AS as re-
suit of the two costly conflagrations
the people of the city of Colfax are
in an uproar because of the failure of
the fire department to function prop
erly The fire chief and his assist
ant, claiming that the equipment
provided was entirely inadequate
and that the city administration
would grant no relief, resigned, leav-
ing the department more demon
allied and inefficient than ever.
A little farsightedness on the part
of the Colfax city administration
and the expenditure of an insignifi-
cant percentage of the amount rep
resented in the fire loss by the citi-
zens of the county seat, would I'M
doubtedly have resulted in the
quenching of the flames in their in
cipieney; the big financial loss and
the suffering would have been avert
ed.
Identically the same situation con-
fronts the city of Pullman. For
years we have been watching the de-
struction by fire of business blocks
and residences. We have seen need
ed buildings and large stocks OF
goods destroyed; we have seen fam.
lilies lose their entire possessions and
be thrown on the charity of their
neighbors. And the while we have
heard far-sighted citizens proclaim
the urgent need of more ADEQUATE
fire fighting facilities, but we hav,
the same two or three hose carts
the same volunteer fire department
without a paid head, the same dis
organization and inefficiency tina
was thought to be good enough foI
the city Is and 90 years ago.
A few thousands of dollars ex
pended by the city of Colfax 70
chemical engines and the employ
ment of paid fire chief would hav,
saved a quarter of million dollar
in one fire.
The expenditure of a like amour
by the city of Pullman would plac
the fire department in a position Il
battle future flames in an efficien
manner. would reduce insuranc
costs, and would give the people Q
Pullman the fire protection that the
deserve and are perfectly willing t
pay for. through taxation or an

other way.
1t is time for the city council to
act.
Let's profit by Colfax's experience
and close the stable before the horse
is stolen.

began as tamely and perfuncIoIllJ
as if has done everything else. But
before it adjourned it was howllng
mob of hungry, thirsty, excited Ie-
verish men and women, hardly Will
ling to stop even after nearly ten
hours of uninterrupted work, But
the women stuck as determlnedly as
the men and they were on the Jop
again this morning, little pale per-
haps, but, with their wilted gowns
changed for fresh ones, and their IN
terest unabated.
The Coliseum was a place OF tor
ment Yesterday. The temperature
was like a Turkish bath, the atmos-
pbere was like a steerage and the
noise was like a Day of Judgment.
Most of the men shed their coats
early in the day and many of them
their collars shortly afterward. The
women had neither coats nor collars
to shed, but their chiffons stuck to
their arms and their noses grew shiny
as the hours of din and heat wore on.
But later in the afternoon when the
voice of the secretary could hardly
be heard shouting the votes a woman,
Mrs. Marshall Priest, of Huntington,
Tennessee, rose hatless and steady
in her square necked blue gown and
made the ballot of her state heard. 1t
then stood 10 for Wood, l for Low
den.
Women seconded nearly every nom
ination that was made. Unanimous
comment was that one of the women
made the best speech of the conven-
ton and another made the shortest.
The first was Mrs. Corrinne Roosevelt
Robinson, sister of Theodore Roose-
welt, in behalf of Leonard Wood, and
the second was Mrs. Fletcher Dobyns
of Chicago, chairman of the women's
division of the Illinois Republican
committee and Lowden supporter,
Another thing was noticeable
Many of the men who made second
ing speeches ran over the time allow
ed and had to be cut short or given
an extra minute or two. Not one wo-
man exceeded her time and most of
them finished well inside it. So as
the 1920 Republican National con-
vention goes down into history, what
ever candidate it may select and
whatever may be thought of the eff
feet of the first small invasion of
women into it's ranks, there is one
thing that will be established-women
can keep up the pace.

Good Progress Made on
Union High Building

Visitors here from Leslie Saturday
reported that work on the new Union
High School building between that
place and DeSoto is progressing sat
isfactorily, with much of the framing
already finished. The structure,
when completed will be one of the
finest rural schools in this section,
and it is hoped to have it finished
and ready for occupany by August
81. Prof. E. L. Bridges is principal
of the school and the faculty of Les

Jury Frees Negro on
Stolen Goods Charge

John Minyard, we'll known negro
merchant, who was tried Friday af-
ternoon in Superior Court on a
charge of receiving stolen property,
was acquitted by jury The verdict
was returned late that afternoon.
Minyard was accused by another
negro who admitted he stole guam
tity of tobacco from the Seaboard
Air Line depot, and who pleaded
guilty to a charge made against him.
Minyard was represented by Hixon
& Pace, and the only evidence in his
behalf was his statement.

most enthusiastic and spontaneous
greeting accorded to any of the NOM
inators when introduced. When at
the conclusion he named Hoover the
audience, not the delegates, burst into
cheers and for thirteen minutes the
building fairly rocked and the gal
leries were a sea of waving Hoover
flags. The demonstration was in full
swing and would have continued in

Smoot stopped it with his gavel.
During the whole time the delegates,
with the exception of two or three,

Visitors for Hoover.
The Hoover demonstration was the
most significant event of the day
for this reason: The visitors tickets
are for the most part distributed by
the national committeeman to their
friends and not one of the commit
teemen is a friend of Hoover or
wanted to see him nominated. The
only ticket which the Hoover mana
gers had were twenty which they
purchase from the local committee
for one hundred dollars apiece. And
SSl illOuOiiluO VI BiCii anu FfSiisNii IA
every part of the galleries cheered
until they were hoarse and waved
flags for Hoover. Hoover's name
was more enthusiastically responded
to by the galleries than that of any
other candidate. And yet he was
the only candidate for whom the
galleries had not been more or less
packed.
If on the fourth ballot the $4,000
visitors, as well as the 984 delegates,
had voted, the Republicans would
have had candidate for president.
His name would have been Herbert
Hoover. And the Republican nomi-
nation for the presidency would not
today have been on the auction block
for sale to the highest bidder.
That it was on the auction block
and that the most shameless methods
were being used both by the stee
and banking interests backing, Wood
and the machine politicians backing
Lowden are facts so well known to
everybody connected with the con
vention that nobody takes the trou-
BILE to deny them.

for the nomination was that after

Judge Miller, of New York, pre-

that was a masterpiece of logical ar
guments. He asked for Hoovers
nomination on the ground of his

Il am now able to eat three square

made recently by Joseph A. York,
well-known business man and highly
respected citizen of Portland, Maine.
81 am now siXty-nine years of age,
and in all my life / have never run
across a medicine that l consider in a
class with Tanlac. l have just fin
ished my fourth bottle and this medl-
cine has benefited me even beyond my
greatest hopes. Besides gaining six
teen pounds in weight, have been
built up and strengthened until l feel

"For the past two years l have

ton, and was compelled short time
ago to give up all idea of business as
l was too weak to look after any
thing. / was nervous, worn-out, had
no appetite, and suffered most all
the time with indigestion. Some days
| would eat scarcely anything; in fact
I was afraid to eat because l knew l
would suffer afterward. Sometimes
l had such severe cramping pains
after eating that l would almost die.
My nerves were all unstrung and the
least thing would worry me and
never could get good nights sound
sleep. In fact l just lost interest in
everything and was greatly discour-
aged over my condition.
"The ordinary treatment failed to
10 me any good, and as l had read so
many statements from people l know
here in Portland who had been bene-
flied by Tanlac, decided to give it a
trial. And now / know for myself
what it will do, for l have simply
taken a new lease on life. l am now
