SUNDAY AFTERNOON FIRE
DESTROYS HElMlCk HOUSE

Sunday afternoon at about 2:15 a
fire alarm was turned in and upon in
vestigation, it was found that the E.
M. Helmick house opposite the high
school was in flames. The fire had
gotten quite a start before the fire
fighters arrived on the scene and as
there was a high wind and the build
!ing was light frame structure, the
best they could hope to do was to pre-
vent the fire from spreading to ad-
joining property. The flames were
extinguished but not before the build
ing was rendered almost a total loss.
The Helmick's are living on the Re-
shaw ranch and the house with the
exception of front room reserved by
the owners, was rented by Earl Cook
and family. At the time of the fire,
Mr.. Cook was haying on Garnet Mesa
and Mrs. Cook and children were visit
ing at the home of her parents on Ash
Mesa. No one had been in the house
since the night before and it is
thought that the fire started around
the electric meter. The house and
the furniture belonging to the Hell
micks was protected by insurance, but
the Cook property was not. This is
a hard blow to Mr.. Cook, especially
as he suffered a severe property loss
at his former home in Missouri, Just
prior to coming here last fall.

return. Their only success lies where
they eliminate waste either in produc-
ton or distribution-and they can do
neither if they destroy individual initi-
ative. Indeed this phase Of develop
ment of our individaalism promises to
become the dominant note Of its Twen-
tieth century expansion. But 1t will
thrive only in SO far as 1t can con-
struct leadership and a sense Of serv-
Ice. and SO long as 1t preserves the In
itiative and safeguards the individual.
ity of its members.
The economic system which is the
result of our individualism is not a
frozen organism. 1t moves rapidly in
its form of organization under the Inn
pulse of initiative of our citizens, Of
growing science. Of larger production,
and of constantly cheapening distribu-
ton.
A great test Of the soundness of a
social system must be its ability to
evolve within itself those orderly shifts
in its administration that enable 1t to
apply the new tools Of social, economic,
and Intellectual progress, and to elimi-
nate the malign forces that may grow
in the application of these tools. When
we were almost wholly an agricultural
people our form of organization and
administration, both in the govern
mental and economic fields, could be
simple. With the enormous shift in
growth to industry and commerce we
have erected organisms that each gene
ration has denounced as Franken-
stems, yet the succeeding generation
proves them to be controllable and
useful. The growth Of corporate or
ganizations, Of our banking systems, of
our railways. of our electrical power,
of our farm co-operatives, of our trade
unions, of our trade associations, and
OF hundred others indeed develops
both beneficent and malign forces. The
timid become frightened. But our
basic social ideas march through the
new things in the end. Our dema-
gogues, of both radical and standpat
breed. thrive on demands for the de-
struction Of one or another Of these
organizations as the only solution for
their defects. yet progress requires
only guardianship of the vital princi-
Piles Of our individualism with its safe
guard of true equality Of opportunity
In them.

PREslDENT IN COLORADO
ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY

President Warren G. Harding was
guest of the State Of Colorado for the
first two days of this week and was
royalty welcomed by thousands of her
citizens During his stay in Denver,
soldiers at Fitzsimons hospital and
made the statement that he would do
all in his power to see that full JUS.
tice is meted out by the government
to its wounded veterans and to pre-
vent another war.
The president also declared that
though the states abandon the cam
paign for the enforcement of the pro
hibition laws the national government
would insist on rigid enforcement He
stated that it was now not a question
of morals but Of obeying the law and
that as long as the law is in force it
must be obeyed.
While at Kansas, Mr.. Harding gave
his views on the railroad situation,
stating that he believed that consoli.
dation of the roads OF the country in
to smaller number OF systems prom
ises solution of transportation
problems. In regard to government
operation. he expressed the belief that
IT would be Colossal blunder. which
would destroy initiative. infest us with
political corruption. create regional
5ealousies and impose an incalculable
cost on the public treasury"
In an address to the farmers OF the
west. delivered at Kansas City Satur-
day afternoon. the chief executive
brought message Of optimism and a
prediction that the worst Is over and
gradual improvement could reason
ably be expected. In reviewing legis-
lation passed by the last congress that
is OF benefit to the farmer. he placed
the farm credits bill at the top of the
list stating that under its provisions,
agriculture for the time in history is
placed on an equal footing with other
Industries in the matter OF being fur
nished with an adequate working capi-
tai. He quoted figures showing that
IN 1922 farm products were worth
$4,000 900. 600 more than in 1921 The
president enumerated long and note
worthy list of other legislation passed
during the present administration that
has uoht hiuCH W lllI the laTfner out
OF the lamentable depression that fol-
lowed the war In closing he dis
cussed the agricultural credit act Of
1923. passed during the last days of
congress, which he believes furnishes
the basis for the most satisfactory sys-
tenn OF agricultural finance set up in
any country.

letter of the nations prohibition laws
the day after the Denver address, and
lwrencc said:
Harding realizes, OF course, is that
there always will be available, through
one channel or another, some supply
from sources that cannot be stopped
to the wealthy. Mr.. Harding appeals
in the hope that they will voluntarily
abstain from violating the law in pur-
chasing liquor, and that they will either
destroy what they have or fail to re.
new their supply when it is exhausted
The President thinks the very Sc
curity of American institutions de.
pends on the attitude that the wealthy
folks of the land take toward the Vol
stead law. If one law can be ignored
and an amendment held in contempt
he fears the whole structure will col
lapse. As for himself, the President
has taken the matter to heart, and
while the public hasn't known it
nevertheless it is fact that for some
time Mr.. Harding has been abstaining
and that he means to keep his house
hold dry and will refrain even when
away from the White Mouse from ac-
cepting the invitations of friends or
their gifts.
"Mr. Harding's sense of increased
responsibility has been no sudden de-
velopment, his intimates say. He has
been gradually coming to the conclu-
sion that the sooner universal prohibi-
ton is actually practiced the better it
will be for the moral fiber of the ma
ton and the sooner will come those
notifications in existing laws that the
people shall desire.
"His own prediction is that the
longer prohibition is in effect the
greater the likelihood that the changes
in the law will be in the direction of
effective enforcement rather than re-
taxation; but even if the sentiment of
the nation were to swing to 2.75 per
cent beer, the chances are that such a
change would follow Z period of abb

In his article from Denver on June
Is, the day OF the address by the Pres
ident, Mr.. Lawrence said:
Perhaps the most striking para
graph in the Denver speech-certainly
nothing like it has come before from
the lips of the President or any other
high official charged with the enforce
ment of the prohibition laws-was his
direct appeal to people who have hard
liquor in their possession to set an ex-
ample to those who haven't by giving
it up altogether.
:" Whatever satisfaction there may
be in indulgence, said the President,
whatever objection there is to the So
called invasion of personal liberty
neither counts when the supremacy oil
law and the stability of our institu-
tions are menaced.'
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1923-07-13

rather than merely even the complete
In his syndicated article dated June q
sent from Rawlins, Wyoming, Mr.. L
President Harding has become to-
tai abstainer. He meant literally the
speech he delivered at Denver appeal
ling to the people of America to give
up strong drink even though their
stocks were lawfully acquired before
the Eighteenth Amendment and the
Nolstead act were adopted. Mr.. Hard
ing, it was learned today, feels very
deeply that as chief executive of the
straint, although there is no law
against drinking liquor one has legally
acquired and Mr.. Harding violated no
law i'll taking an occasional drink in
the White House.
+" 1t has become known that in the
last several months the President has
refused gifts of liquor from personal
friends and has told them he meant to
conform to the implications of the law
as we'll as its specific obligations. Since
the Harding administration began no
liquor has ever been served at the ta-
bic for official guests. There has been
some gossip that personal friends
would drop in at the White House or
meet the President at the golf links
and offer drink from flask very
much as might happen in the Offices Of
Senators and Representatives; but
while Mr.. Harding has since early
Marion days enjoyed social drink, he
has no regrets about practising self
denial, for he believes the greater good
to be accomplished nationally by a
strict observance of Prohibition more
than makes up for the indulgence.
Regrets Class Clashes
"Close reading of the Presidents
speech at Denver will reveal that he
feels very keenly the rivalry of classes
in America; the resentment of the
working people over the fact that the
rich can secure all the liquor they
want, irrespective of price. What Mr..
