near as one not. familiar with the
mechanical intricacies of the machine
can describe it, it is a cross between

Of snow Ed. and his friends were
travelling on runners behind the same
propeller. This year in the absence
of sleighing, he is going on wheels
and, in fact, on air, but not yet in
the air. Next spring the boys at
Vida will put their invention out in
the Montana sunshine and rain and
expect it to sprOut wings. Then
they can take the air right and not
be compelled to bust the speed laws.

crease in maximum speed attained. A
glance backward, indicates til a t
our sturdy fore-fathers objected
to lodging vehicles way back in 1857,
when the city fathers of Boston pass
ed the first speed law.
The board of selectmen of the capi-
tai of Massachusetts had narrow
streets to contend with in addition to
citizens inclined to drive their horses
at unseemly gaits. To stop all this
mischief and to penalize the speeders,
the city authorities in 1857 passed
the following ordinance:
Owing to great danger arising
ofttimes from coaches, slays, chairs
and other carriages, on the Lords
days, as people are going to or COM
ing from the several churches in this
town, being driven with great rapid
ity, and the public worship being Of
tentimes much disturbed by such car
riages, it is therefore voted and order
ed that no coach, slay, chair, chaise
or other carriage shall at such times
be driven at a greater rate than a
foot pace, on penalty to the master of
the slave or servant so driving of the
sum of ten schillings."

WHAT'S A CONSTITUTION FOR?

THHE peak of radicalism-or one of
the highest peaks-is to be found
in the following plank of the progress
sive platform:
eve favor submitting to the people
constitutional amendment providing
that congress may, by enacting a sta
tute make it effective over judicial
vote"
In other words congress may, by
mere statutory enactment, make an
unconstitutional measure constitution
al This is deliberate subversion of
the constitution to the whim of con-
gress-nothing else
1t is a definite scheme to encourage
congress to act in defiance of the con-
stitution; and, if there is an impair
tial judicial decision that the constitu-
tion has been violated, to set aside the
authority of the courts and of the con-
stitution itself by mere repetition of
the congressional fiat.
Is the constitution worth having, or
preserving, or obeying? The so-called
progressive platform thinks not. The
American people have heretofore
thought otherwise. Because they have
thought otherwise for century and
half, we have a constitution and
constitutional freedom.

HONESTY AND GOVERNMENT

| QUITTING to the people OF the west
= "the plain question of honesty in
government" John w. Davis asked
them in an address at Denver recently,
to hold the republican party ito the
accounting which is it's due" on the
record of it's administration of gov
ernment
Reviewing that record in some de-
tail, particularly with reference to the
leasing of the naval oil reserves and
the handling of reclamation problems,
the democratic presidential candidate
said he wished to keep constantly be-
fore the people of the United States
the question of party government and
party responsibility.
unless political parties can be
held to strict accounting, party gov
ernment itself is a base imposition
and fraud" he said.
Accusing the republican party of
having broken most of the promises
made to the American people four
years ago, Mr. Davis laid particular
emphasis on the subjects of conser-
walton and reclamation as those strik
ing closest home to the people in this
section.
-Four years ago the republican par
ty declared itself the fast friend Of
conservation and reclamation" he
said. ''What sort of conservator it
proved we know, all too we'll"
Reviewing then briefly the efforts
made under Presidents Roosevelt, Taft
and Wilson "to save from private
greed and exploitation enough of the
oil deposits to guarantee a reserve
supply for the navy in time of war,
the speaker sketched briefly the his
tory of the leasing Of the reserves
and referred specifically to the pay
ment of 100000 to Albert B. Fall by
Edward Doheny and of $4,000 by Har-
ry Sinclair.
"In the republican platform Of
1924" Mr. Davis continued, 1--WE read
that the conservation policy Of the
nation originated with Theodore
Roosevelt and the republican party
holds it a privilege to build as a
memorial on the foundation that he
laid Shades of the mighty dead! It
will be sorry memorial if it is adorn-
ed when erected, with a statue of AL
bert B. Fall"
Turning then to reclamation, Mr..
Davis said a republican congress had
failed to act on the report Of the fact
finding commission, which showed the
need, he said, for prompt adjust
ment of the charges made to settlers
on irrigation projects.
"And if we are to judge from the
platform adopted by the republican
party" he added, nothing is apt to
happen"
Calling attention that his platform
declared that new policies and meth
DDS of operation have been adopted
which promise to insure the success
full accomplishment of the objects
sought" with reference to the recla-
nation of arid and semi-arid lands,
the speaker said that these new poll
cies and methods are and what the
objects sought are not disclosed.

mate, the opportunities that await the
newcomer. Live cities do not neglect
this important detail. Winslow can
not afford to be classed among the
dead
