be-" has been one of his phrases for
a long time. And remembering that,
one thinks this man certainly must
practice what he breaches and that
he must have an ideal somewhere, a
great, strong, silent ideal, in whose
footsteps he would follow. And then
you remember Abraham Lincoln
again. 1t is natural for you to do
that. Then you remember Calvin
Coolidge's words as he spoke on
Flag Day, saying:
"Works which endure come from
the soul Of the people. The mighty

struction. The humble walk hand
in hand with Providence to immor-
tality. Their works survive. He

(the American fag) is loyal to
truth and justice everywhere He
who lives under it and is disloyal
to it is a traitor to the human race

More evidence of his devotion to
the spirit Of Abraham Lincoln may
be found in these words, spoken by
him in his Lincoln Day proclamation
delivered January 80, 1919.

orders from the Russian soviet govern
ment at Moscow to its representatives
here were said today by police to have
been found among the effects of Witty

ened death to any representative of
the soviet government who revealed its
plans or failed TO destroy copies of

Other documents told of plans TO

would be easy prey to a revolution.
Details for revolution in the orient,
starting simultaneously in Japan, China,
Hindustan and Turkey, also were te-
vealed, but police refused to discuss

out were found in Schachman's rooms,
police say.

saving of about two billion dollars

increase in the efficiency Of labor and
a startling decrease in crime with its
attendant poverty and wretchedness.
From the standpoint of practical
government. however, the most import
ant contribution that prohibition has
made to the welfare of the nation is
to be found in the simple fact that a
new generation will be growing up
untainted by the liquor habit and un-
hampered by the conditions Of squalor
and wretchedness which the liquor
habit imposed upon so many thousand
innocent children in the past.

T. L. Cant, chairman OF the Joint
Commission for Permanent Roads.
speaking of rumors of opposition TO
the bond election. said: We have
some opposition, we understand. That
is to be expected. There has never
been any good movement that has not
met with opposition.
When Columbus set sail to discov-
er a new country, he met with opposi-
ton. When the railroads were first
started, they were opposed. When the
project of the Panama Canal was first
undertaken, there was opposition.
efforts were first inaugurated to stamp
out yellow fever these efforts met
with opposition. When the work for
suffrage was first begun, opposition
was encountered. There has never
been any movement of any worth that
has not been opposed.
1T is natural that on every public
question. differences should arise.
Those of us favoring the movement
movement is popular, and when the
ballots are cast and the results count
ed, we feel sure that there will be on
ill feelings on either side and that we.
the winners, can forgive and forget
and that those who are opposed will
do likewise.
For it is reasonably certain that
at other times. in future public move
ments, we shall find ourselves should
er to shoulder, some of US who are for
the bonds working with those VINO are
now opposed, for some other public
measure on which we are agreed.
The Joint Good Roads Commission is
making good, clean fight We are
giving out nothing but definite, re-
liable information.
We have studied and worked in
this movement for several months and
we have reason to believe that the
bonds will be carried by a large ma
jority. We believe in our cause and
we know that we shall win. But we
shall not cease in our efforts for one
movement until the vote has been
poIled We had rather roll up a vote
of ninety per cent than a vote of
fifty-one per cent, and that is what
we expect to do.
I'VE cannot understand why anyone
should oppose these bonds, with the
exception of the railroads. We do not
mean to say that the railroads are
opposed. but when we consider the
Ship By Truck movement, and the in
creasing popularity of automobiles for
the movement of passengers, we can
readily see how there might be some
opposition from this quarter.

gram, whether for one road or two or
more roads. If it were possible TO bond
for only one road / should be for it, in
whatever part of the county it might

lieving that they are a step in the
right direction. Good roads mean pro-
