The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1922-11-09
THE ELECTION

The election is over. The voters
of the state have set their seal of
approval upon the candidates of their
choice and these candidates will soon
take their seats and administer the
affairs of the states, counties and
townships during the length Of their
respective terms.
1t is not foregone conclusion that
the best man won in every case, for
many times the voters are misled and
while acting from the most noble i'm
pulse they cast their votes for the
wrong candidate.
This is brought home to us when
we hear men saying: II voted for So
and-so the last election, but l would
not do it again." This statement has
been made repeatedly in our hearing
the past few weeks.
Why is this?
Because questions arise after a
candidate becomes an officer and
does enter into the campaign. He
uses his own judgment and many
times that judgment is against the
wishes of large share Of the people
who elected him.
Is not this true in the case of Pres
ident Harding in his veto Of the boz
nus? When we hear almost every
one favoring the voting of state bonds
to compensate the soldiers, we know
that even if the word is not spoken,
the great masses of the people did
not approve of Mr.. Harding's action.
Why, then, should we not have
some method of getting the legisla-
ton we desire without leaving it to
one man or set of men? Why should
the people not have the right to fire
their employees just as an individual?
courage to come out for the initia-
tive, referendum and recall, yet we
have heard dozens Of good citizens
express their favorable opinion of
the proposition.
We should have these defensive
weapons so that when the voter makes
a mistake he has method of correct
ing the error.
The party which first adopts this
proposition will be called socialistic
of course, but this will not brighten
the people. Which party will have
the nerve to father this proposition
in the next campaign?

SECOND GROWTH OF
CHERRIES THIS YEAR

Bill Wright has cherry tree in
his yard on North Spruce bearing
the second crop Of blooms and cher
ries,, the latter being almost full size
but as yet green. This, too, after
October frosts. He had some of the
cherries on exhibit at the county fair
where they were attracting consider
able attention.
Mr.. Wright had fine big crop
on his trees this year and thinks the
trees are rather generous in offer
ing to give him a second crop at this
time. A little longer warm weather
is all they ask.-Kingman Journal.

UP AND DOING

Are you taking part in the Careful Crossing
campaign You have seen the posters and when
you looked at the pictures of that motoring party
about to be struck by fast train, you have imagined
something Of the horrors attendant upon such dis
asters Maybe you will ask how you assist in
impressing upon the public the necessity of using
greater caution at the railroad crossings. here
are several things you can do-all of them quite
simple and elementary in character. First OF all
If you drive a car, you can be an example oil what
a careful driver should do There are times and
places where haste is necessary and commendable'
but il is important to remember that circumstances
alter cases You may be driving somewhere on an
GRAND that is pressing but whatever the business
NAV be- the need of hurrying is only zero compared
with the safety of yourself and your passengers at
the railroad grade crossings. Most times, when you
have to cross the track there train enough
to make hazard Vigilence is necessary-every
time and the very occasion when you relax your
viligance may prove fatal to you. hat is the way
those crossing casualties happen. Read the papers
and inquire OF the witnesses OF crossing catas-
trophies and you will find that il there had been
reasonable care exercised by drivers. they would
have been alive today Talk about the posters
and spread the news that at last people OF this
country are aroused and determined to make 1t
decidedly questionable TO risk human lives at
railroad crossings There drivers. rot small

stoppinq a safe distance back from the track until

but minute to stop and when you do stop and
look for approaching trains when you are near

terest of your own life and the lives OF those who
may be riding with you in the Safety first
rule should always be applied when approaching
the grade crossing Cross Crossings Cautiously
Play Safel 1t Pays.
The same principles that laid down IN the
above regarding crossings Of railroads should also
apply to the people who drive cars on the pubic
streets There is much danger Of smashups on the
streets when auto drivers do not use the necessary
precautions regarding the way they handle Their
cars You are just as much murderer II you dash

SOME UNFAIR PUBLICITY

Lubbock Sept 25.-Two frame business
houses on west side of the square were totally de
stroyed by fire here Saturday evening, including
a loss of several thousand dollars, with only five
hundred dollars insurance. The building was oc-
cupied by cafe and general merchandise store.
Quick work on the part of the volunteer fire dc.
partment saved the destruction of the entire block
The above news item has appeared in nearly
every daily newspaper in the State. which is abso-
lutey false There has been no fire in Lubbock,
and especially in a frame building the west side
of the square in this city. AS matter Of fact there
is not frame building on the west side OF the square
in Lubbock. They are all good substantial brick
buildings and to people who do not know better
this report is received as true and damaging in is
nature
