AN APPEAL TO GOOD CITIZENSHIP

Some magazines like Golfers and The HOmietic Re
view and some organizations, are making an earnest effort
to stimulate interest in the exercise of the suffrage.
According to some careful observers there is a grad
ual lessening of the sense Of civic responsibility that aug
us i'll for the republic
Golfers states editorially:
SIN each national election since 1896 the proportion of
voters has dwindled. In 1896, 80 per cent of those quail
fled to did vote; in 1900, 70 Per cent; in 1908, sc pc rcent;
in 1912, 62 per cent; in 1920, less than so per cent. Four
years ago 54,421,832 Americans could have voted, but on
ly &c, 1885, 1853 did so.
"Such is the descending curve Of American democracy.
cy. Inscriptions politicians get where they want by herd
ing their masses of u%nthinking voters to the polls. Isn't
it time more thinking voters were heard from?
Instead of being a parlor patriot, a rockingham
Paul Revere, let each American prove his right to citizen
ship"
The following pledge which each citizen makes to
himself and fulfins as a matter Of personal honor and self
respect is suggested.
pledge myself to vote at the coming election. But
] can't vote if | don't register. Therefore, I pledge myself
to register and make that registration good with my vote
There is no doubt that the w~ell-being Of the nation
is dependent wholly upon enlightened, conscientious cit
izenship, and the recognition Of the duty Of registration
and voting is the first step in good citizenship.

that prove these statements to be true. Mr. Seel, one OF
the most expert deputies to be found any place, has his
books so well IN hand that he can give the information
desired on any phase of the countys finances in a few
minutes.
1t is not necessary to take anybodys word that Hardie
has saved over SIS, 900 in the Recorders office. Or that
IIeeson has consistently followed the line of good business
method and economy, in his work with w. L. Young, to
keep the county within it's income and gradually help it
out Of the mire of debt. The proof will be found in the
county's books and the minutes of the Board.
Now if the taxpayers and the voters OF the county have
interest enough in public affairs they will keep wise, be
Yigilant and use their votes. When they find faithful men
in positions Of trust they will keep them there. Rest as
sured, good people, the opposition, the gangsters, the
crowd who are out and want to be IN, never sleep. they
are always busy, boring from below-spreading lies and
insinuations to deceive and confuse and anger the public.
Their records are enough to condemn them and shut them
off from the confidence of the people.
The voters of this county have its destiny IN their hands.
They can keep it on the road to sound financial condition
or thew can let it slip back. They can show their appreci-
alton and gratitude for the faithful work of these officials
by going to the polls next Tuesday and renominating them
by decisive majorities. Or, the voters can let personal
convenience, indifference, spite, petty grievances, selfish
and u~ntrUthful reports sway them, keep them from
polls or lead them to vote against the welfare OF them
selves and their county. There are just two sides to this
battle-for our county and against it.
AS among the leaders Of the Clean House movement
the people of Wolf Point are, we are sure, far too wise and
too loyal to need the friendly suggestions above, but will
show a united front to the common enemy in this battle so
we'll begun.

FEW FACTS THE VOTERS SHOULD KNOW

.ers records two of my opponents do not pay taxes except
on a small amount of personal property?
Do you know that one Of my opponents has only resid-
.edin Roosevelt County about one year?
Do you know that another of my opponents is not
really a resident Of Roosevelt County, inasmuch as he has
been in Helena for nearly two years?
Do you believe such men will legislate to the best in
tefests Of the taxpayers as would one who pays several
hundred dollars in taxes each year in this county?
Ihave farmed and resided and paid taxes in this coun-
ty for the past seventeen years. In constellation Of the
above facts, may I ask your support in behalf of II. A.
Schoening and myself, Republican Candidates for State
Representative.
Respectfully,

DIXON AND THE FIGHT

Governor Dixon is not making much of a campaign
in this part of the state but is depending on the farmers and
his other friends to take care of him. The Governor has
made a long hard fight to get a tax on the gross product
instead of the net income Of the metal mines. His program
has called out a storm Of bitter opposition and many charg-
es have been laid against him and the issues confused.
The state is in bad condition financially, and who it is
c~hargeable to and who will be intrusted with the job Of
getting it out will be decided at the polls next Tuesday.
Joe" is a good fighter and will no doubt be able to take
care of himself in this scrap as he has in those of the past.

all to support honest officials is to put a pre-
or incompetency.

For Justice of The
Peace-X Charles Gordon

Charles Gordon, for many years
local justice, entirely forgot to file
his name this year, and says he must
depend on the kindness of his friends
to take the trouble to write his name
i nfor his present office. Remember
that writing a name in is not sufic-
ient-an x must be marked in the
square opposite the name you have
written.

DESERVE o u SUPPORT

If the voters Of Roosevelt county fail to go to the polls
on August 26 and express in no uncertain figures their con-
fidence in the Clean House officials who have served so
well and worked SO hard to start our county back out Of
the slough Of debt onto the firmer ground of honest bust
ness and economy, it will be a piece of ingratitude or in
difference that will well nigh forfeit their right to good
government and lower taxes. Men like Lesson, Young,
Hardie, McFarlan, Anderson, etc. deserve and need the
backing of the people.
If you want to take a chance on putting Weinrich
back in the front seat with the reins firmly in his hands,
and your county headed toward the second million just
vote against George Lesson for county commissioner.
O-
It chances that this town has three candidates for
assessor and The Herald is opposing none of them, but
leaving it to the voters.
Do you know that Poplar and Culbertson are support
ing Chris Jacobson for county commissioner ?
To fail to support honest officials is to put a premium
on graft or incompetency.
Every voter to the polls next Tuesday, rain or shine.
Election is just as important as harvest.

DEPUTY MARSHAL STAsER
 WOULD USE TEAR BOMBS

Aroused by the foul murder of Police Chief Harry Kavanaugh, who was shot in the back last Wednesday by ma niacal Indian, who few moments la ter was killed by officer Watson, De- putty Marshal Harry l. Staser, who is in charge of the marshaps office at Anchorage was today planning to re- quisition a supply of tear bombs and iron hand grenades from the army or dinance corps.
 If Watson and Kavanaugh had been supplied with even a harmless tear gas bomb-which blinds temper arily, but does not kill" said MT. Staser, Harry Kavanaugh would be alive today"
 Deputy Staser himself a war vet eran, having served with the infantry knows something of the deadly hand grenades and he believes a stock of them should be kept on hand by the federal police for use in e?re"eoncy.
 Tear gas has been successfully used by the New York police department land the grenades known as "destruc- tive bombs," also have been used by Gotham's finest" in doing battle with desperate criminals Anchorage Dali ly Times.

COL. LANDS DENIES
 REMOVAL HEADQUARTERS

Rumors that the Alaska railroad contemplated closing the Ocean dock are without foundation, Col. Lee H Landis, general manager of the rail road said this morning
 "On the contrary, we are planning to repair the dock just as soon as weather conditions permit" Colonel Landis said. He added that piling and other material are on the ground.
 Colonel Landis depreciated the cir. culation of rumors of this nature and said that he had heard other rumors involving the railroad, which also were groundless. One of these, he said, is that eventually the railroad headGuar ters of the railroad were to be moved to Seward. He said that Dr. Work the secretary of the interior has nc intention of moving the headquarters from Anchorage.
 In this connection Colonel Landis made it plain that his first interest is for the Alaska railroad as against the interests of any particular town Il hope the people of Anchorage, as well as people of other towns along the railroad, for that matter appreci ate that we must have cooperation be tween these communities and that il the railroad is to go ahead, and oul towns are to progress, all of us must foster the development of the country and not confine our efforts to any one section. I appreciate the fact that Anchorage need not depend on the Alaska railroad for it's existence, ii we all put our shoulder to the whee and help the farmers, the coal pro ducers, the miners and prospectors

ALL FOR NOTHING

When Dave Cassidy, Chicago hobo,
 plunged into Lake Michigan and saved the lives of Mrs. Anna Vomacha and two children, philanthropists bought him clothes and obtained job for
 him. Dave showed ability and became
 foreman. A week ago he quit his job and returned to his hobo life. T just can't stand being cooped up in house and had to get back to the bo's," he said. The other day Mrs. Vomacha' s fbody was found in her gas filled pan Itry. A useless bit of heroism.

Lucille Stanley Is Victim
OF a Severe Dog Bite
Right Cheek Was Badly Lacerated by
Infatuated Animal.

Lucille, the small daughter OF Mr..
and Mrs. Charles Stanley, was the
victim of a very painful accident on
Tuesday afternoon. According to Mrs.
Stanley, Lucille was playing with the
pet cat of the household on the back
porch, where lay the other pet, a dog
with several small puppies. Lucille tat
tempted to pick up one OF the puppies
and the mother dog objected, where
upon the child dropped both animals
and a fight ensued between the dog
and the cat. Lucille in attempting to
make peace among her animal friends,
received a severe bite on the cheek.
A physician was called Immediately
and the wound given attention. On
account OF the recent mad dog scare
il was at first decided to administer
the pasteur treatment to the injured
child. but upon examination OF the
dog by a veterinarian it was decided
that there was no need to do so.
The little girl is again at play, and
it is probable that no scars will be
left to later remind her of the encoun-
ter with her canine friend.

Blows Down Barn on G. c. Crowell's
Place. Other Damage.

The strong wind, which was accom-

A small tornado cut a path through
the dairy farm OF Mr.. G. c. Crowell,
near Parrott, and barn containing
dozen or more fine milk cows was
blown down on them. None of the
COWS were killed, but all received cuts
and bruises. Many trees were uproot-

blown some distance from where it
stood.
The tornado evidently lost its fury
there, as no other damage was re-
