powers from the consent Of the govern
ed.
Equality means fraternity, brother
hood, fair-dealing, exclusion Of no one
from pubic benefits because Of race or
poverty or lowly birth. It does not
mean social equality, or equality OF
wealth or equality of inherent ability.
The Declaration referred to political
equality, which means equal opportun-
ity under the law.
The national ideal of liberty has
been the first watchwOrd on our lips.
To assail our union, our government,
to the interest of personal liberty, IL
cense, unbound freedom is not liberty
as conceived by the writer's of the De-
claration. II is, rather to break our
national idea into pieces and to rush
back towards the barbarism that eX-
listed before man set aside his selfish
ness to form cooperative government,
without which we would still be roam
ing the wilderness and fighting for
our daily bread.
The other vital thing in the pre-
amble of the Declaration Of Indepen-
dence means that government is to be
from the bottom up and not from the
top down. The American theory is
that all power rests in the people as a
whole. A tendency to depart from this
system in recent years has been the
greatest source of trouble.
Only by holding to the representa-
tive form of government as establish
ed by our forefathers, can our republic
endure.

The real significance of Independ-
ence Day comes from an understand
ing Of its meaning, realization OF
what the Fourth of July stands for
in American history.
No child should be permitted to
grow up with the idea that the Fourth
is the day we all take a vacation and
try to see how much noise we can
make.
Rather, every school child should
be able to quote from memory the
essential part of that immortal De
claration of Independence:
We hold these truths to be self
evident, that all men are created
equal, that they are endowed by
their Creator with certain inalien-
able rights, that among these are
Life, Liberty and the pursuit of
Happiness. That to secure these
rights, Governments are instituted
among men, deriving their just
powers from the consent of the
governed.
In the words of Abraham Lincoln,
"This was their majestic interpreta-
tion Of the economy Of the Universe.
This was their lofty and wise, and
noble understanding Of the justice of
the Creator to His creatures"
Americans today may well ponder
carefully the expressions Of these great
men who gave years Of thought and
efforts to the forming Of our national
ideals and who wrote these ideals
into the two great basic documents
Of our civic llfe-the Declaration OF
Independence and the Constitution OF
the United States.
The Declaration Of Independence de-
clares the doctrines of equality, liberty
and that a government derives its just

From the County Agent
The Garden WebwOrm on Cotton

The cotton farmers have been alarm
ed by the appearance of worm found
eating the cotton leaves. This worm
is known as the garden webwOrm and
Is not what a great many farmers
think-the cotton leaf worm that did
so much damage to the cotton last
year.
Specimens of this worm have been
sent in to the entomology department
of the University of Arkansas for its
identification. The department has
notified the county agent that there is
very little damage being done and
that II need not be regarded with
alarm The garden webworm is a
native Of Arkansas, occurs every sea-
son In some sections and has several
broods during the year Apparently
the damage in cotton fields may cause
attention after hoeing.
The fayorite food of the webworm
is the pigweed, and in fields where
there was considerable growth Of
pigweed and this has been cut down
or turned under the worms naturally
move to the cotton for their food. The
outlook for any wide spread or serious
damage except perhaps in very small
areas is not great. Wherever this dam.
age threatens, the webworm can be
controlled easily by busting in the
same way as the leaf or army worm.
Attention is called to this to offset
the fear that it is the cotton worm.

Many have heard the story of the
man who was frightened to death by
practical jokers. They tied him to q
chair, gagged him, put his feet in
warm water, told him they were going
to cut the soles of his feet and let hin
bleed to death. The water was color.
ed red and the duh edge of a razor
blade was passed across the soles OF
his bare feet, and the man, believing
that he was bleeding to death, actual.
ly died of heart failure.
That was a foolish joke, but not
nearly so foolish as some of the tricks
that we allow to be played on our
selves.
Ii is not necessary to go through
such an elaborate program to frighten
some of us, especially when business is
concerned.
Let someone wave the red flag of
business depression across the horizon
and the timid souls run to cover.
Prosperity is straightway frightened
TO death.
The same old "bunk" is used every
time. Some pessimist surmises that
this is election year and therefore bust
ness will be punk" It's an old super
stition that belongs in the limbo Of
witchcraft, but so many unthinking
souls accept it for truth every two
years that it continues to operate to
the detriment of business.
Elections do not hurt business, but
business men think they do and there
fore they do.
The result is that prosperity is
frightened to death. But there's no
reason for it, The next time someone
says the election is stangulating bust
ness, don't look serious and agree
laugh at them.

BENSON OPPOSES
 SHIP BOARD CUT
Fleet Group Should Not Be Separated, Says
 Admiral

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-Separa- tion of the Emergency Fleet corpora tion from the shipping board, as recom- mended by President Coolidge, was op- posed today by Rear Admiral William s. Benson, retried, before the house committee investigating the board.
 Admiral Benson, former chairman and oldest member in point of service on the board, said it would be advisable for the board to make some changes in the manner of controlling operations of the corporation, but he thought 1t should retain full control over the estab- lishment, maintenance and discontlnu- ance of trade routes. ..
 The Presidents plan, however, would be preferable, he added should 1t be i'm possible to make a change in operation of the present system which permits the possibility of one branch of the organi' zation being played against the other
 He also said that the only interference with the corporation was failure by the board to carry out all of its recon mendations, he had heard no protest from fleet corporation officers because of this. Rumors of disagreement between tended to disturb public confidence the two organizations, he asserted and thereby injure prospects of building up an American merchant marine.

COOLIDGE LOSES
 IN FIRST CLASH
 WITH THE SENATE
Attempt To Delay Vote On Vetoed Postal Bill
 Draws Fire
fRv Leased Wire To Age-Herald)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11-Piesi- dent Coolidge's first test with the senate this session, which came when an attempt to postpone vote on the postal salaries increase bill was blocked, 1n- dicates that the administration stu has roupb seas ahead despite the over whelnling majority at the recent eiec- tion.
 There was not an actual showdown in the senate Thursday, but the tenor of hostile debate which flared up when Senator Edge of New Jersey, re- publican, author of the bill, asked un- animous consent to have vote de- layed until Feb. was regarded as forecasting the senate's attitude. Sen ator Couzens of Michigan objected formally, with others putting in their protests.
 Hopes To Sustain Veto
 Coolidge is anxious to have his veto of the measure last session susta ned, and it is known that some of his lead- CTS in the senate are working to 1ehty action in order to line up enough votes to stop passage over his veto. Edge s action Thursday came as surprise, and there was speculation as to whether the administration had hand in his at tempt at delay.
 Edge based his request for delay on the ground that a bill now being pre- pared to increase postal revenues should be considered first. It has been sug- gested that the increase desired by post al employees could be paid from this added revenue.
 Senators Shout Protest
 Several senators immediately jumped to their feet, including Senator Dill of Washington, democrat, a strong advo- cate of the measure, who declared emphatically that he was not Ill favor of postponing vote until enough senators can be lined up against it to defeat it." and pointed out that if the bill were held up until Feb. 2, only a month would be left for vote ln the house.
 While the revenue bill has not been completed, 1t is generally understood that It will raise rates on second-cass mail. and Senator Reed of Missouri rointed out that if the revenue bill were taken up first, newspapers and maga' zines in the country would champion inc Presidents veto of the postal salaries Dlll, 1T TdlSes "eie poSe' oi passage of bill which would cost them money.
 Reed Chides Edge
 Reed chided Edge for his support of the bill, in opposition to the Pr"si dent, declaring that recently we had an example of disciplinary measures when four men who had failed to sup port for president the candidate the other members of their party supported were led by the ear to the door and \ kicked out of the republican holy oi nslies." Edge, he recalled, had been ont of the leaders in the busting of La Fol lette Slado, Frazier, and Brookhart ant said he wondered what would be th' fate" of the senator from New Jersey.
