THE BEAUTY" OF AMERICA

The comparison drawn by the Salt Lake, Utah,
Telegram in the following editorial, shows the
fundamental difference between the United
States as contraSted with any other country IN the
world America is the home of freedom, initiative
and Independence European countries represent
a maxmim of government ownership and control
of industry repression of individual initiative and
special advantages for the favored few instead
of for the masses.
Read what the Telegram says: 1t makes one
love every square foot of rocky land desert waste
and fertile fields in our country where the richest
and the poorest have equal opportunities; where
class distinction means nothing and where the
government exists for the people and not the peo-
pie for the government
I ga transcontinental trip, no matter how often
you take it, is never old panorama Of the great
ness and unity of America. Just now the mlddle
western part of it is scarcely panorama OF us
beauty Even a Kansas village has beauty IN the
spring and summer, or when covered with fleecy
winter snow, but in the mid-Season of mud and
haze and drizzle, it would take poetic soul to see
any beauty in it. Which is perhaps all the better
The best way to appreciate anything is to see IL
at it's worst So let US compare the worst Kan
sas village, at its worst, with the wonderfully
beautiful French villages at their very best
@ 'In picturesque beauty of course, there IS moth
ing to compare. The French village has every
thing and the Kansas village nothing. 1t IS flat,
ugly and prosaic. But the Kansas village OF a lew
hundred inhabitants covers as much space as a
considerable French city. 1CS ugly houses HdVe
telephones and radios, and an automobile. Some
of them have running water and modern plumb
mo and the rest have space enough to make the
lack of them relatively safe and inoffensve.
Everybody has daily newspaper, and everybody
can read it.
ssThe French village has a wonderful old stone
church, in which it's people have worshipped for
500 years, while the Kansas village has six staTy-
ing and ugly wooden ones, commennoratng mostly
sectarian rivalries. But the Kansas village has q
fine union high school, where its people and those
of the country about can learn more than any but
the most favored graduate in France
'The Kansas villagers live more comfortably,
in better health, and more prosperously; they and
their children have better prospects, and they
know more. They would be better, off It they had
beanty too. but nature gives them some of that,
part of the year. And the balance on the whole,
is Overwhelmingly their way"

THE yANDYKE SYSTEM

Undoubtedly Cleve VanDyke knows his political
onions The corporation commission, with the ex-
ception. of Amos Belts, handed him his clearance
and it looks as though the people of Miami are
stuck for the VanDyke water system in spite of
their fight against paying some 100000 for an
outfit that was valued at some $250,000 year or
so previous by corporation commission engineers.
Handy men in handy places are extremely val
liable to men who have personal ayes to grind.
Belts says of the lease: " Ee.8
y Concurrence in the legal conclusions of my as
sociates in this proceeding would, by implication
at least carry with it affirmative approval OF the
lease out of which the case arose. In my Judg-
Tnent the terms and conditions of said lease are
inequitabe, unjust, Unfair, and not compatible
with public interest, for which reason | am un-

THE SANTA FE A REAL SANTA CLAUS

The people of Flagstaff are not only delighted
with the new depot but with the hearty interest
taken, by the Santa Fe officials as evidenced by
the big page advertisement in this issue, show
ing splendid picture of the new building as well
as the pictures of the high officers of the COM
pany responsible for the station
We doubt if there is another depot along the
whole Santa Fe system, used solely for depot
that will compare with it.
1t is to be hoped the people of Flagstaff will
turn out in force next Tuesday afternoon and
give the railroad officials here to dedicate the new
building, a royal welcome and show them how well
pleased they are with them. They are boost
ers for Flagstaff and Flagstaff will convince them

AN EDITORS WOES

Professor Phelps relates that when
he was a boy he used to set type on
a religious journal which became
noted for its Typographical errors and
misplaced paragraphs. One day, in
the column Ministers and Churches"
there appeared in the proof Lillian
Russell will wear tights this winter"
How it got there no one knew. The
editor in disgust crossed out the line
and wrote "such is life!" on the mar
gin. When the paper appeared it con-
tained among the news of the clergy,
the item about Miss Russell, followed
by the editorial comment ."such is
life!'

"There'd be more hope of peace
and good feeling in Europe if France
were less suspicious said a senator
at a dinner in Washington.
The French" he went on, "are
very suspicious. They smell rat
everywhere. 1t reminds me of a
story.
"A father, in the dead silence of
the night, called downstairs to his
pretty young daughter.
Mabel, what time is it?'
"a pause, a kissing sound as of
hurried whispering, and Mabel called
back:
"1t's just five minutes after ten,

Mabel, don't forget to start the clock
again after the young man goes out

Never knock them. Because God made price cut

Bulging Freight Car Side swipes Coach Passing
 at Jeanette

Pittsburgh, Pa., Aug. (R-Nine- teen passengers were cut by flying glass today when Pennsylvania rail- road passenger train No 32, the Pittsburgh to Philadelphia local, east bound, was scraped by a freight car which bulged from an adjoining track at Jeannette, Pa.
 None of the passengers was seri- ously hurt and all continued on their journey after delay of one and a half hours. Their wounds were dressed by doctors at Greensburg and Johnstown.
 Number S2, slow train, was made Up of three express cars, combina- tion baggage and coach a deadhead car two coaches and two sleepers. The ears on the front end bore the brunt of the scraping. Windows were shattered in several of the coaches, showering the passengers with flying glass.

SENSIBLE DRESSING IS
 KEY TO FEMALE PROWESS
Northwestern University Swimming Coach Says Women Thirty
 Years Ago Were Hampered

Chicago, Aug. ' Pl-Corsets, petti- coats and fear kept women 30 years ago from achieving athletic victories such as that of Gertrude Ederle, Tom Robinson, swimming instructor at Northwestern University for 1T years, said today. Robinson coached Sybil Bauer, Dick Howell, Bob Sket- ton and other notables.
 "A woman could not possibly have accomplished the same feat so years ago." he said, flor corsets and other ridiculously unnecessary clothing hampered her physical condition and deprived her of the muscular free- dom so necessary in the develop ment of a good swimmer. The com plete conquest of fear will do more to bring about the development of the woman athlete than almost any thing else. As far as physical strength Is concerned. women, since they first got into athletics in 1900. have shown prowess equal to men.
 Physical education has brought about an evolution of common sense that has wrought complete turn over not only in woman's physical condition but in her whole mental attitude. It has taught her how tc dress sensibly and comfortably, il has taught her to think more freely and it has helped her to enjoy life as she never had a chance to before As result it as brought a new race e< wessMes AShleA&s

NEW YORK ROASTING ITS SWIMMING QUEEN
 { Miss EderIe'S Parents Overioyed- -Suffragists Pleased

New York, Aug. ' P-Gertrude Ederle was the toast of her own home town of Manhattan today.
 Suffrage leaders, prominent ath- letes, politicians, and traffic GODS here and in neighboring communi- ties admired and drew conclusions from the feat of the 19 year old girl who was the first of her sex to swim the English channel and broke the time records of her five male prede- cessors.
 Work at her fathers sausage fac tory was suspended for jubilation when the news came. Miss Ederle's older sister, Helen, was in a New York newspaper office sending ire quent bulletins to their mother at the Ederle summer home in High lands, N. J.
 Mrs. Henry Ederle cried for joy when she knew her daughter had crossed the channel. and she was kissed by two of her children, whc were with her, and some of the neighbors.
 T am the proudest mother in the world" she said. but l knew Gertie would do 1t this time. Gertie is the best swimmer in the world, man or woman. But feel sincerely sorry for Miss Clara Belle Barrett, who made such a splendid effort and failed"
 Mrs. Nathan Barrett, Clara Belle's mother, in Pelham, N. e., offered Miss Ederle her congratulations and said she hoped her own daughter would not try the channel Sagain. What's the use?" she asked. Miss Barrett was taken from the water two miles from her goal last week, after swimming 40 miles, part of the time lost in fog.
 Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, suf- frage leader, recalled that 40 years ago feminist leader said, "Wo- mans freedom would go hand in hand with her bodily strength" "the woman of today" said Mrs. Catt, lis a far better specimen physically than two generations ago, and is ashamed to be ill.,"
 Glenna Collett, national women's golf champion, said in Providence, R. l., that the men will have to try again to get the record back" {" Earlier this week Miss Collett wish ed that she might play golf like a man, but this goes to show that women can even beat the men if they try hard enough" she declared yesterday.
