In these days of unrest and dis
regard fos both divine law and human
law, it isSa good time Tor US to con-
slider the harvest that may result
therefrom If. this tendency is not
checked. One of the most important
questions which the citizens of every
country have to face is whether or not
orderly government shall endure.
international Lawlessness
During the war, nations, inspired by
imperative necessity, arose to splendid
heights of sacrifice and service for the
good OF humanity. With the sudden
cessation of hostilities and the long
controversy over the terms OF peace,
this evil, temporarily held in allegiance,
has been unleashed with redoubled
fury We hear OF doctrines and cults
almost unknown before. Anarchistic
and Bolshevistic propaganda and
agitation is almost worldwide. These
agitators have theif headquarters in
some country and from it they dis
tribute their propaganda by mail and
through other mehoos by communi-
cation in distant nations. Much of the
literature and material which is being
distributed, if it were distributed by
a citizen in his own country or mine,
would subject him 10 rrral for treason
or prosecution for conspiracy to over
throw the government. By operating
at distance and hiding themselves
behind the principle that the criminal
laws of nation nave no extra
territorial jurisdiction, they continue
their pernicious activities almost I'M
hindered. Eventually they seek to
create dissatisfaction with existing
conditions and to encourage dis
respect for law upon the part of the
citizenship for the purpose of the
destruction Of the government itself.
This phase Of international lawless-
ness affects every civilized nation.
Cooperation
The peculiar conditions under
which these international trouble
makers operate presents problem
which can only be effectively solved
by a spirit OF cooperation for a con-
cert of action upon the part of the
great powers. international co-opera-
ton is necessary. The leading nations
of the world could help by enacting
uniform legislation to punish offenders
operating within their confines as a
base from which to violate the laws
of another country. Precedents for
this course are already found in the

LIBERAL GETTING READY
FOR SUMMER TOURISTS


Liberal is putting forth every effort
possible to get its camp grounds ready
for the coming tourist season. The
ground that lies in the north part of
the city are being put in shape. The
buildings are being gone over and a
new feature has been installed nam
ely, tourist registry box, This box
is made waterproof with lid that can
be lifted and beneath which there is
place where the tourist can register
his name, address, make of car, num-
Der, etc. 1t is a new wrinkle but it
will be very interesting one. Aside
from the fact that it will give the city
list of the many who visit here it
will also be a means of assistance in
the tracing of persons who for some
reason might become lost or drop out
of sight. Occasionally this occurs due
to parties getting caught in storms,
losing their way or auto accidents.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THATY

The United Press carries the an
nouncement that the Four Power Pa
cific Pact may be submitted to the
League of Nations for adoption. Now
that beats anything that we have
heard of in the past year. You know,
we got the idea that Mr.. Harding
and the republican party thought
that the League ofN atoms didn't
amount to anything After this bunch
of obnoxious politicians defeated the
League in the Senate it seems poor
grace to now expect that body, of
which we are not even member, to
endorse move that was announced
TO be in lieu of the League agree
ments. We knew that Lodge and the
rest of the Senatorial oligarchy were

HOW YOU MAY HELP
MAKE LIBERAL BEAUTIFUL

1t is assumed that we are ready to
make our city the most beautiful one
in the Southwest, but possibly we are
at loss to know just what part we
can play in doing this. Sometimes
we expect to see things come as
a matter of course, rather magically.
But this is not the way beautiful
things are arrived at in community.
Some folks think that the matter is
entirely up to the city officials. That
beauty can be made by strict ordi-
nance and unbending enforcement.
This is not the lasting way at all. It
is a purely personal matter, just as
much so as the improvement of your
personal appearance. The city has to
do with its parks, alleys, streets, pub
lie buildings and public grounds.
These are kept up by public money.
Now to the point: GLOW you may
help to make Liberal beautiful" You
can keep your buildings in repair and
well painted you can do the same to
your fences, if you have any; you
can plant trees and shrubbery and
put out some nice flower beds; you
can keep your premises clean and see
that the trash is hauled off as fast
as it accumulates; you can do the
biggest part right on your own lot,

HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN :?

Well, this is to remind you that
this is Cleanup week" throughout
the nation. We wonder if you are
doing anything along this line this
week. 1t would not be only a most
sanitary thing to do but it would
help lot in keeping down the posi-
bility of fires starting in the rubbish
piles. One bad fire would cost more
than the half day it would take for
each property owner to rake up the
trash and personally conduct the
burning of it or the hauling of it to
the dump. In addition to this it
would help materially in making the
old town look beautiful.

TALKING THIRD PARTY

The United Press carries the infor-
nation that the recent meeting of a
number of the farmer and labor rep
resentatives at Chicago resulted in
an understanding to launch third
party, embracing the farming and
labor interests. 1t is estimated that
the total constituency will be some
thing like 23,OOO,O00 workers and
10, OO0,O 900 farmers. 1t is said that
the aim is to elect 100 congressman
that will give their interests repre-
sentation.
