Time Tests All
Things

IN RECENT YEARS old government and
new PHILOSOPHERS have crashed. New govern
ments and old truths have survived.
Our United States has served the world twice.
The first time on the field Of battle, the sec
ond time by standing erect and unafraid in
the money market of the world.
Power County has contributed her share.
First when her sons went forth; and later
through many other channels. Her products
have gone out to feed the hungry and to help
rebuild their homes.
The First National Bank is proud of the part
it has played in Power County's progress;
proud that it has been tested and found strong
and true.
The First National Bank stands ready at all
times to serve. No effort is spared, no detail
overlooked that will in any way contribute to
the prosperity and growth of this community
and the people in it.

The attempt to march the walton supporters

was hopeless from the beginning. because the
ono class confessed itself much more concerned
with tpoa than principle, while the other stood
for principle first There was lacking com
mon Interest which was bound to sooner or later
bring about breach.
II is fortunate the breach has occurred. There
hnve been from the very first thousands OF re-
construction radical followers OF waltonsm who
never intended voting for any OF tho od-llne
democratic chndldatce, and from the frst there
have beon thousands OF old-une democrats who
never had the slighteat intention Of supporting
the reconstruction- socialist candidate
Now that all assembling has ceased and the
two factions In the open advocating their
tavorltes IN good faith, both ought TO feel bet

cause now the lines are drawn In the open.

has deliberately abdlcotcd. Ilarklng TO tho re-
markable argumen, or the defense offered by
q state official that tho highest court IN the
state Is without jurisdiction and therefore In
capable OF coping with election frauds the court
divided on the question OF jurisdiction in such
a manner that a decision WAC impossible owing
TO the fact that two members OF tho court were

The right OF a citizen TO cast one ballot and
have that ballot counted as cast is funda-
mental right. Since tho state authority refused
TO loan itself TO protecting the citizens In con-
flict with those neeking TO deny them the

affairs" will be the fret to declaim loudly
against federal encronchmonts which follow,
despite tho record which win clearly disclose
that tho federal encroachmcnts became neces-
