You should certainly vote Saturday. The race
for United States Senator involves enough TO cause
people who are for cleaner politics and who want
to keep the country from the grasp OF the saloons
to want 10 cast a vote in the second primary Be
sides there are several OF the county officers TO be
chosen in this primary and while do no, believe
that the election or defeat Of either Of those offer
ing for election, would effect the country in any
way. we believe they should have the courtesy Of
a good vote.

There is a great demand for rent houses in
Lubbock. People want to come to Lubbock. and
they want place to live. Many Of them will build
and become permanent citizens but they do not
want to build until they become better acquainted
with the town and want to rent few months
while others will not want to build, but de
sirable tenants. and want place for year at
time or even longer. People who have the money

amount of the equipment. and then not be any bet

ance companies the addition of equipment would
be means Of reducing the rate Of insurance, and
the failure to supply this would mean an increase.

Another Strike Vote.
Do the Men Now Idle Prefer to Re.
main Out Of Work7

To THE New YORK HERALD: Among
the various plans for the settlement of
the coal and railroad strikes ! have not
seen any which had for a basis the
thought to ascertain IL the man now out
really wanted to strike.
Many OF them are now out through
fear rather than from the desire to go
on a vacation" OF course we have the
statements Of the union leaders that the
vote to strike was overwhelming. But
was II SO? Did anybody outside OF
union headquarters see the results?
Why not have this strike vote taken
again, but have the vote canvassed by
the labor board. not the interested union
officials? Perhaps II the miners and
shopmen knew that they could honestly
vote as their consciences dictated and
without fear of their vote being known
results might be different an honestly
canvassed vote by somebody like the
labor board should really determine 30

terested union headss

year and up to the present time In
1929 the large sum Of $2,350,000 has
been recovered by the Admiralty's
Salvage Corps. If any OF the other
expeditions can equal this its mem
bers will have good reason to believe
their summer well spent.
London correspondents do not
seem to agree on the amount Of gold
there was on the Laurentic when she
was sunk. Copyrighted dispatches to
the Philadelphia Public Ledger on
August of last year and on August
6 of this year give the total value of
the gold aboard the ship as $15,000,-
900. An Associated Press cable mes
sage from London on December Is,
1921, said that nearly $2S,000,000
worth OF bullion" had been recovered
from the hulk OF the Laurentic and
that there was from $10.0O0,0O0 to
s15,000,000 remaining. In spite Of
this confusion as to the value OF the
sunken gel the fact remains that
the British Admiralty has conducted

Freedom" in Russia.

GEORGE TcHITcHERrN, Soviet Com
missar for Foreign Affairs, has an
swered question which has occurred
to many American citizens. While
they have listened to communists and
other preachers of destructive doc
trine clamoring for the unobstructed
right OF free speech they have asked
themselves What would be the de-
gree of freedom in the reorganized
society this fellow is talking about?"
TcHrTcHERrN has told them. A cor
respondent In Berlin asked him II
the new Soviet economic policy would
be accompanied by change in the
political policy at home. Would there
be, he asked, relaxation OF censor
ship, free elections to the Soviets, an
end to the prosecution Of the Social
Revolutionists and the Mensheviki,
tho release OF the socialist political
prisoners--a general move in the d.
rection OF democracy?

TcHrTcHERIN answered, "the present
policy of repression must bo fol-
lowed" In other words. there must

The Faithful Earth.

Men sneered at the July weather,
but mems friend. the good old brown
earth, smiled over 1t. The reason Is
made plain in the United States
crop forecasts.
Three billion bushels OF corn--the
fourth largest in the farming history
Of the United States.
An increase OF 5.ooo,o 900 bushels Of
spring wheat.
A record crop Of hays. .oo0. 900
tons.
The second largest crop Of white
potatoes ever grown.
Two bushels OF apples for every
person In the country.
The fourth largest tobacco crop.
Up in Canada the crop estimators
say that the production Of grains Of
all kinds will far exceed last years
harvest. -& fs
Even IN Russia, where everything
else has gone to smash, Nature re-
fuses to turn bolslrevik. The wheat
harvest, says Moscow. is more than
enough to feed the entire Russian
population for year.
1t IS marvellous the way that this
planet. plagued by wars. strikes,
grafters, tax eaters and common or
garden fools, manages to sprout
enough. food for the Two Billion.

Brave Little Boats.

Small craft that dare the perils of

The yacht Diablesse. which has just
arrived at Bermuda after four

is only fifty-twq<feet over all. With
the trade winds behind her she
averaged $50 knots a day until the
Sargasso Sea compelled drifting In

themselves with fishing.
Such an adventure, 30 much more

Use the Miami Cable.

The Western Unions plea for per-
mission to operate temporarily the
sealed Miami cable Is a request to
which President HARDrNG might well
give quick assent.
The seizure OF the cable stations in
southwestern Ireland by the Irish
rebels has crippled world commune
cation. The few cables to England
and France are so congested that
Americans are paying more than a
dollar a word to send messages to
Europe by way of South America.
1t seems ridiculous that the mis-
chief OF a handful Of men In rebel
lion against the Irish Free State
should compel Europe and America
to communicate with each other by
way Of Portugal, the Cape Verde
Islands and Buenos Aires, but the
fact remains.
Use Of the Miami cable was stopped
by the Wilson Administrator for
reasons which in large part have
ceased to exist. Lifting the ban on
this cable, which connects with the
British lines to Barbados. would open
one more direct line to Europe.
The transaction OF international
business and the transmission Of In
ternational news would be furthered
by a grant OF the temporary license
which the Western Union has asked.
