AIRPLANE ACCIDENT FATAL

One of the most distressing acci
dents that ever occurred in Wood
happened yesterday afternoon about
three o'clock. Capt. Willetts, OF
Sioux City, Iowa, pilot for the Sioux
City Flying Club, with w. b. He'd
rick of Winner as = passe nger, flew
over from Winner and alighted just at
the edge of town, near the schooihcuse
After a stop of about half an hour
Capt. Willetts started the motor, pro
paratory to making the return trip to
Winner. With no one in the driver s
seat to control the plane it started
across the ground to where group of
spectators stood, at high rate OF
speed. Capt. Willetts attempted to
change the direction Of the plano by
holding onto one wing, but his efforts
proved fruitless Good Shield, an
Indian of about 10 years Of age, and q
cripple, being unable to get out of the
way, was run over by the machine,
the propeller striking him and com
pletely severing the right foot just
above the ankle, partly amputatipg
hi. left foot aud smashing his right
shoulder, besides causing other and
internal injuries. First aid was sd
ministered and DR.. Bouza called from
White River. Good Shield was removed
to one of the Indian camps south of
town, where he died about six o'clock

"Go to Church Sunday" This ad-
vice has been given millions of times,
yet with some it has never been
needed. Possibly there was flaw In
the giving. 1t may not have that
simple and appealing note of human.
itv which draws the one who needs Il
most. Yet there Is no one so harden
ed or so sinful but what he can enjoy
an hour in the church on Sunday.
Some who stray In accidentally become
regular attendants In time. The
story of the Nan Of Men grips them.
1t is more thrilling than the wierdest
fiction ever penned, and each Sunday
you hear new chapter In the life
history of this man Who was of flesh
and blood and yet was the offspring Of
divinity. Go to church Sunday. 1t
will be good for you. and 1t will do
Others good to welcome you there.
George Creel wants to know what
protection citizen has against the
ISLANDERS Of . Member Of Congress.
That Is simple. Go into his district
and run against him. Prove the slar.
der and the voters will send you to
Congress In his stead.
A kind word costs nothing, but
when given at the proper time its
value 10 often beyond compute.

PEOPLE OR BOSSES

Why continue tie old method of
plrty conventions for the selection of
candidates for the presidency?
Why not let the voters Of party
record their own choice of candidate
at the party primary and have the
result certified by the county auditor
to the national committee Of that
party, instead of sending delegates at
great personal expense to conven-
tion to say what their constituents
have already said?
If some such law could be enacted
we would be rid of the iniQuitouS
convention rule entirely. and unscrup-
ulous delegates would no longer be
able to dickcr and trade and effect
secret combinations for their own
personal gain, as we strongly suspect
is frequently the case.
The trainers of the constitution ir-
tended that every voter should enjoy
free and inalienable right to an ex-
preston Of his choice in the selection
of public officials. 1t was not intend
ed that his choice should be warped
and twisted by party chiefs behind
closed doors, as is too often the case
under the convention system.
AS an example: a dozen or So men
may be running for the nomination
within a certain party. One of these
men NAV receive greater number Of
all the votes cast at the various pri-
maries than any other candidate. 1t
would seem that IN all fairness he
should be entitled to the nomination.
/ not, why ask the people TO express
a choice at all?
Yet in the convention, because Of
the large number of candidates and
the numerous scattering votes, he
may be one or two votes short of the
majority Of all votes cast by the de-
egates. If he is unable TO entice the
delegates of some other candidate
away from their allegiance, he loses
the nomination.
And right there is the weak plank
in the whole convention structure. 1t
lets the bars down for all kinds of
dickering and bartering and selling of
delegate votes, possibly resulting in
the nomination Of some unknown
quantity whom the people do not
want at al, but whom the bosses
think they control if he is fortunate
enough to win the election.
OF course, to abolish tie convention
system would deprive the party chiefs
and bosses Of their control Of the
nomination, and possibly OF their
control Of patronage after election
But the chiefs and bosses are few,
while the common voters are legion
Why should the few override the
wishes Of the many in this presum-
ably free country? Why be boss-rid-
den when we can Just as well be self
governedP
Why not let the people be the
people. instead of being pawns of men
who think Of themselves first, Of
votes next, and Of their country last
of all9

MUCH TO CELEBRATE

In l776 the hardy pioneers Of the
colonies fought as one to throw OF the
CALLING yoke of the British king.
They succeeded and new nation was
born.
In 1861 this nation, grown to large
proportions and unable to reconcile its
sectional differences, entered upon
the greatest civil war Of history
father against ION, brother against
brother, neighbor against neighbor.
In 1917 this same country, by then
the greatest Of earth, crossed the
seas. in its might and ended the most
devastating war the world has ever
known.
This time 1t was father and son,
brother and brother, neighbor and
neighbor-no section, no creed-just
an outpouring Of love for nation by
the people Of all parts for that nation.
Lesser wars we have had, but all have
been fought In honor and justice, and
have exerted their influence In per-
petuating the glorious independence
won in the outpouring Of the blood OF
l776. All have demonstrated that as
Americans we fight not for conquest
or for the love of fighting, but only In
defense Of right, justice, humanity
and our national independence.
On July Fourth We will celebrate
the glories of the past. They are
worthy Of the homage we render.
But on the other days Of the year let
us not forget. Let US strive to per-
petuate that glory, to enhance our
splendors, and TO stimulate our hu-
manity to the point where all histor-
ians will record us as a people who
are equal to all emergencies but above
the petty jealousies that create them
"a nation so mighty rs to bring death
with every sweep Of its arm, but with
a mind and heart so gentle that none
may have reason to fear encroach.
ments upon their rights.
We have mush to celebrate on In
dependence Day, but with the aid Of
Him who created al peoples and all
things we will have more a. time
goes on. 1t is the spirit which has
lived since the days Of rs.
