FLETCHER AND JEFFERSON.

aid:
Mr.. President, I find myself
very much in sympathy with the
views expressed by the senator
from Idaho IMr. Borahl. 1t seems
to me that now, when the whole
world is staggering under debt,
and there is suffering and distress
everywhere, when our own people
are complaining about taxes, and
properly so, many of them unes-
capable az the necessary conse-
quences of a world upheavel and
the greatest war in all history,
we ought to endeavor to hold
down these expenditures out of
the public treasury to the very
last limit.
"This is no time, Mr. President,
TO indulge in these extravagant
parades and demonstrations and
celebrations, costing the people an
enormous sum, approaching, as the
the senator from Idaho has said.
in this instance, before we are
through with It, a million dollars.
1T is all right for the people of
Washington. the merchants, the
street car companies, the taxicab
companies. the hotels, and that
sort of thing. TO raise a fund. The
more PEOPLE they can have here,
them, the better for them. 1t is
perfectly proper, and a manifesto
ton to some extent of public
spirit do not mean to say il is
entirely selfish-for them to ar
range to entertain the people who
come here, and take care OF them,
even though they get back what
they contribute to that end. But
it is a different proposition to go
into the pockets of the taxpayers
of the country at large and ask
them to pay this enormous sum
OF money for this Inauguration.
THE senator from Idaho has
said. and / quite concur with him,
that he does not believe that SEN
ator Harding himself wants this
proposed tremendous demonstra-
ton. II is a bad example to set to
the country. We have been talk
ing here on this floor for some
time and in the press and else
where, about waste and saturnalia
OF eXtrava gance, and rather scold-
ing the pet Ole for their lack Of
thrift. We claim that the high
cost of living and a good many
OF our troubles have been due TO
the extravaganza that prevailed
in 1919 and previous years. Now.
the government undertakes to set
an example of unparalleled ex-
travagance at the very opening
of a new administration. 1t seems
to me unthinkable."
Senator Fletcher then quoted from
he writings of Senator Williams o
Mississippi, who delivered a series O
ectures at Columbia University D
efferson. In these quotations tn
florida senator showed that Pres
lent Jefferson saved a great amour
I money fr the nation and yet wa
ways dignified, never affected an,
ways able to make a proper an,
appearance on all occa
ions.
In closing, Senator Fletcher said:
Il am not in favor of any parsi-
mony or any picayunish affair. I
am IN favor of a dgnified, proper
inauguration; but / am opposed to
taxing the people of this country
IN order that we may have an ex-
travagant display and an unnec-
essary demonstration"

These reflections should commend
themselves to all fathers and moth
ers, and to the teachers of children
in all of our schools. We read in our
daily papers too many stories of
crimes committed by mere boys. We
must protect our own community by
safeguarding our own boys and girls,

PROHIBITION
LAW YIOLATORS

The people who do not believe in
the prohibition law have two ways in
which they can work to get rid of it.
First, they can agitate through the
press and all agencies Of public opin-
ion, to have the law changed, or an
other constitution amendment adopt
ed, modifying the new provision. Or
they can try to bring the law into
discredit by a concerted plan to vio-
late 1t.
The first method of agitation Is per-
fectly legitimate. But a very large
body of people would seem to be try
ing, by the second method, to make
the law so ineffective that the people
will be sick of 1t. This Is course
capable Of doing great damage, prin-
cipally to the people who are resort
ing to it. Much of the bootleg stuff
is simply rank poison. while many
people who are experimenting with
home products are producing vile con-
coctions.
The prohibition amendment could
never have secured the ratification Of
forty-five states unless 1t was desired
by a large majority Of the people.
Since that time many persons who
originally were opposed to the idea
have become convinced that it will
work, and accomplish many good re-
suits. 1t has reduced drunkenness, In
spite of all illegal selling. 1t has
greatly cut down the Jail population
and is leading millions of men to
spend their money ON their families
instead of for hot stuff to pour down
their threats. 1t promotes regularity
of work.
A modification of the amendment to
permit the manufacture of beer and
wine would be an entering wedge for
the repeal of the whole thing. and
would defeat the good ends already
being attained.
A change supported by so great pre-
ponderance of public sentiment is
likely to prove permanent. The SEN
timent of the women, who now con-
troll the fates Of candidates inclining
toward wet sentiment, will make 1t
more than ever difficult to take the
back track.-Elko Free. Press.

WHAT MAKES
PROSPERITY

Prosperity means good business,
and good business means active buy
ing. Buying moves in a circle. 1t
must begin with you-and in the end
It comes back to you.
There are four factors in the circle
of buying-the manufacturer. the
jobber. the retailer. and you, the
buyer. Together these factors con-
stitute the public. The manufacturer,
jobber or retailer is in a separate
class from you only so far as his busi-
ness Is concerned. In every other
relation of life he Is one small indi-
vidual In the great mass we call the
public. and he is affected by the same
living conditions that affect you. Out
side his own business he, too, is
buyer, so he joins with you, there
fore, In starting the buying impulse
that sweeps around the circle. He
buys, like you, the comforts and me-
cessities of life, and he wants reason
able prices the same as you do.
Prices were high-but they're lower
now, and as low right In Winnemucca
as you'll find them anywhere else. But
II they are to be brought still lower
you will have to buy. That creates
demand for production. and produc-
ton Is bound to mean more men at
work, more men with money to buy.
and more prosperity.
Not all of our local merchant are
using this paper to unload their
shelves. But you can depend upon II
that the ones who are are tbs ones
who are anxious to join hands with
you in bringing about prosperity and
keeping the community prosperous.
We urge you to buy what you need
and In doing so we urge you to buy
from those who advertise in this
newspaper-the merchants who APP
preciate your trade enough to ask
for 1t.
