boosting Christensen for the United States Sen
ate, and to follow him as Governor, Ray p
Chase, who has made remarkable record as State

Ter or not the arrangement is satisfactory with
them.

The wheels of law are sometimes slow, but they
are usually effective. Four years ago train
was dynamted in Oregon and since that time a
world wide search has been made for the D'Autre-
mont brothers. These criminals were arrested
last week and have made complete confession
This nation of ours may appear to be lawless at
times, but it is doing very nicely considering
the material we have to work with.

General Pershing in 1917 spoke the following
strong words, which needed now as much
Jas they were then: Danish the entire LIQUOR
industry from the United States; close every
saloon, every brewery; suppress drinking by Sc
we're punishment to the drinker, and, if necessary
death to the seller, maker, or both as traitors
and the nation will suddenly find itself amazed
at is efficiency, and startled at the increase
in its labor supply l shall not go slow on pro-
hibtion for l know what is the greatest foe
of my men, greater even than the bullets of the
enemy."-Ex.

Captains Lindbergh's flight across the Atlantic
was glorious. The world and particularly the
United States acclaimed him as hero of heroes
He is conqueror in the broadcast sense of the
word. In the wake Of his signal victory comes
another flight, which in respect to distance sur
passes Lindbergh's, hut the second plane is
hardly landed before Investigations are under
way which reveal that these second fiers have
fown not in the interests of aviation, nor their
country, but solely in their own interests Cham
berlain and Livine carried air mail letters which,
if estimates are correct will net them S250300
when the cancelled stamps are sold to curio col
lectors. Let all the glory go to Lindbergh; and
let the others be forgotten

The debates on prohibition between Wheeler
and Darrow have shown that their opinions diff
fer. And as in all debates, we knew that in the
first place. The same result could be reached
by the following brief interchange:
Mr.. Wheeler (affirmative)-I believe in pro-
hibition.
Mr.. barrow (negative)-I think different:
Mr.. Wheeler (rebuttal) You're all wet-n
both senses.
Mr.. Darrow CLOSING SPECIFY My position is
unaltered. fEsss~f4.-r---~~---rt
The Judges-the debate is declared draw.
One moment please. For the benefit of those
in the audience (if any who desire further dis
cusson Of this subject, we wish to announce that
the debate will be continued in Chicago, ST. Louis
and San Francisco, with the same results. That
is ALL File out quietly, please. Soft drinks in the
drug store at the cornsr on your right, and hard
liquor in the of the laundry two doors to
your left.-Detroit News.
We believe in prohibition, so that makes two to
one in its favor.

The Stars and Stripes Forever. As for $50
years it has been the emblem of Our Nation, SO
let it continue through time and give to our pos
terity the same thrill that comes to US when Old
Glory rises or passes in parade.
| As for century and half that flag has been
the emblem of freedom, and justice, and equality,
so let it continue. Though we should do no other
useful thing in life save to teach to our children
| their children to love, to honor, and protect
our flag and those principles for which it stands
and our living shall not have been in vain.
/, Yesterday was flag day. Everywhere We saw
the stars and stripes of Old Glory waving on
the breeze. Did we stop minute to think OF
the blood that has dyed that flag? Did we
think of the purity that must prevail to pro-
tect that flag? Did we breath prayer that
every American citizen might forever remain
"true blue" in defense of Old Glory?
! God grant that we have not a man in our
town whose heart does not beat faster with pride
and love when he sees the flag pass by.

| We have just seen the worst flood in the his
tory of the nation. Millions of dollars worth
of property have been destroyed, hundreds OF
lives lost and other thousands of people are
homeless The Red Cross has raised its quota
as the flood area increased and the calls were
made. But the tragedy has awakened us to a
new national sense; has shown US that We
have new national problem to solve.
