WHAT CLINTWOOD
CAN BE

Nothing is in such bad taste
as that form of community
criticism that is pure and I'M
alulteratd knocking" without
a semblance of constructive re-
view. 1t is especially unbecom-
ing issuing from a business
man.
Constructive criticism may
find fault with existing condit-'
ions but it always is said IN
way that sounds like "boost-
ing" Knocking is talking too
much about what the commun-
ity isn't. Boosting is talk
ing about what Clintwood is
and can be.
The man in business, Whe-
Their or not he deserves it. gets
most of the credit or blame for
what his community is. If he
critics adversely he is, in the
public's eyes, just belittling his
own work. But it is never UNI
becoming for him to boast of
the many good qualities poss-
essed- and acquired by his home
town.
That community which is
without faith in itself is with
out hope. And if it's business
men lack faith in it how can
the community expect to enjoy
the faith of the lay citizen?
However,. the faith Clintwood
demands of it's citizens is not
the blind faith required of cit
liens of less fortunate towns.
The wise business man
never knocks, regardless of
how bad business may be- He
knows the hammer" may re-
bound and strike him. know
ing an optimistic public is q
buying public and that consum-
ers tighten their purse strings
with the first cry Of hard times
he exhales optimism with
every breath.

ACCIDENT PREVENTION

Compelling every automobile
owner to carry liability insur-
ance will not in itself prevent
accidents. Indeed, there are
those who contend that a reck-
less driver to operate a car to
more reckless than before.
Instead of constantly striving
to make it easier for the rack-
less driver to operato a car to
the detriment of the public.
why not make it more difficult
by imposing obligations based
on character and ability to
drive.
During 1926, there were 7.
coo accidental injuries and 246
deaths every day in the United
States. Motor cars were the
largest single contributor to-
the death, hospital and the 81,
oo0,0o0,ooo money loss.
Some accidents seem unav-
oidable but by far the greater
majority are easily avoidaole:
by car inspection, by reasonab-
la driving, bv fair consideration
of others, by pedestrian decen-
cy and care. The speedster and
the jaywalker are twin perils;
the foot hog and the car hog
are other twins, alike deadly;
the get-out-of-my- driver
and the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
me pedestrians run neck and
neck in the fatality list, for
themselves and for others.
Safety is largely an individ-
ual matter; it must be taught
ito every person, every succeed
ing generation there is no her
'e'dltary or racial caution to
save anybody,
The best contribution any
man can make to public SAT-
ETY. is to be careful himself, and
to demand caution in his own
family whether it walks or
rides. This loss of 100000,
eco year in accidents, most
OF them avoidable, is every
oody's business; and until ev-
elTbody does his part, the
slaughter and the loss will CON
tinue.

MAKING SHOPPING EASY

This is truly the age of ad-
vertising, and ever expanding
advertising. One, whOG counts
himself among the common
people," on reading the adver-
tisements in his newspaper re-
marked that it is dangerous to
the purse to read the advertise
ments too carefully because
you cannot even scan them
without finding something you
want and at a price and of a
quality you can't afford not to
take advantage of.
It cannot be charged against
newspaper advertisements that
they force upon the public I'M
wanted merchandise. They do,
however, inform the public
where their merchandise wants
can be- fulfilled and at lowest
cost.> The public, with the as
sistance of newspaper advertis-
ing, is now able to buy INTEL
igently and expeditiously. Be-
fore the buyer enters the store
he or she knows where desired
articles may be purchased and
where the most favorable
prices are obtainable. News
paper advertisements have err
adieated the hit and miss and
the hurry and scurry from
shopping.

Over -saac.. ing Gate Rights.

The claim of fedral control Ct
water rights IS an example of
gcs.dual encro chf rent on the
states. In an able editorial, the
Portland Oregoni an of May 3 says
THE govornms M controls nav
igaple rivers for purposes of nav
igation only, and permits construc-
ton of dams for t III purpose.
AS the same dams oavelop water
power, it assumes authority to
license construction of powe r
plants, and logically that Of dams
for both uses. In many cases it
owns the shore lanes for build
inge and thus has direct as well as
indirect control over use Of water
for power. The COVE cnment owns
land along unnavigable streams
| flowing through public domain
and controls power development
owning the power ties. In law,
the states are sovereign over the
water for all purposes except
navigation, but their control is
rendered Ineffective by federal
ownership CT shore land and by
federal authority to license dams.
'In the Colorado BASIN, the state
strives to hold in substance a right
on which only the shadow remains
to them. By attempting to Graw
them into a compact the federal
government recognized their law
full rights. Arizona and Utah
dissent, and the nation now IN
dertakes to supplant the shadow
with the substance, which it holds,
A similar compact is sought be-
tween Oregon, Washington and
Idaho regarding tie Columbia
Basin project, and Eere the gov
ernment's hold is stronger, for
reclamation by use of federal
funds is proposed. A contest in
the courts is threatened in the
Colorado case, and if the three
Columbia River states should fail
to agree, the government N y
proceed in spite of them, and may
be blocked by another lawsuit.
A firal definition Of federal and
state authority over rivers and
of the manner in which water
, shall be apportioned among states
may De given by the supreme
court as the outcome"

President Coolidge said in his
Hammond speech that the num-
Der lacking in religious devotion
is altogether too large. Right;
and we might add that it's hard
to tell whether they remained
that way from associating with
others who have none, or got that
way from following some of those
who profess to have it.

HOME TOWNLETS.
Clintwood's Declaration OF
Independence.

marks the celebration Of the cell
,bration of the adoption of a
great document in the story OF
Nor h America. But the needs of
he old Declaration have passed |
nto history. No longer DO the
people of this great country fear
Or deride foreign king. Rather
do they think of the Mother coun-
try across the sea in a spirit of
harmony and close ALLAN &c in
Anglo-Saxon kinship.
What Clintwood needs is a lit
tie sd e claration Of lndepen-
dence" of it's own against King
and Indifference. Para
phrasing the memorable docu-
ment of 1776, and applying it to
our own community; we say to
such a King
He has refued to assest to our
Laws, whereby the Public Good
has suffered smartly, while 9TH
ers have escaped well-deserVed
term in We bastile.
He has forgotten to paint up
and clean up in many and divers
manners, even while there was
the wherewithal in We Exchequer.
He has plu.ndered our streets
and highways, Ind ravaged our
sidewalks, leaving his spolls OF
rubbish in places wont to be clean
and free Of tire punctures.
He is at this time transporting
large armies of house flies and
perchance mosquitoes to complete
the works of de a tn, desolation
and tyranny!
He has constrained cur fellow
citizens not to meet together and
to bear arms against cooppera-
tive effort, whereby small atten-
dance has resulted at meetings
for public veal.
He has melted domestic insur-
rections amongst us, where sew
eral civic improvements and pub
lie works have been delayed be-
cause of his renting our minds
of dissension and discord.
He has endeavored to suppress
support Of local business, and has
permitted the merciless savages
of peddler's competition to ring
our door bells and turn the pages
of We mail order catalogue!
| He has criticised without facts
slandered without proof, and at
this time seeks to errecI a multi
titude of new but unfounded rea-
sons why Clintwood should not
grow and develop and enjoy We
fruits of prosperity.
Therefore. we the people O
Clintwood assembled, appealing
to the civic conscience of our cit
liens for the rectitude Of our in
tentions, do in the name and by
the authority of the good people
of this town. solemnly p u bills +
and declare that ClintWood is anc

from old King Apathy and indif'
ference, and all connection with
the old bird from henceforth anc

that we are just as progressive
and up-to-date and ambitious as

and that business hereafter viii

mented, boosters will organize
schools and churches will advance
homes and buildings will contin-

community round about will make
our town their town; and fol-
ourselves as well as for posterity
in support of this declaration

mutually pledge to each other
our ASPIRATIONS. little of oui

Splitting Legal f airs. T h e
American Association for advan-
cement Of Atheism il fighting
thru the courts to have chaplain
appointments discontinued in the
army on the ground that the con-
stitution provides that no religi-
Gus test shall ever be required as
a qualification for public office,
But the A. A. A. will not
win. The religious test" clause
merely provides against possible
denominational or sectarian dis
elimination, and was never in
tended to prohibit the employ
ment Of men and women whose
services would include the giving
of spiritual counsel. And while
it can not be said that the United
States is a Christian nation from
a legal stand point, it is such a
nation from a practical and his
toric standpoint; and unreserved-
ly it is a nation whose citizens
mainly adhere to religion of some
kind, It certainly is not an athe-
list nation such as would give
common consent to the claims of
the atheists doctrine.
The atheist are not mu, h wor-
ried over a violation Of the con-
stitution as they are over their
attempts to pry loose raligion
from it's foundation and overturn
spiritual ideals. In this they seek
to use technical army reguia-
ton as a handle.

Our Queer Language

In plea for greater consistency a
spelling reformer has called atten-
ton to a few of the many vagaries
displayed in English spelling and
pronunciation.
The sound of long "a," for ex-
ample, is represented in many diff
ferent ways. as a in lady, al in rain,
Gig in reign, ay in pay, eli in vail, ey
in they, eye in obeyed, ca in great,
GA in goal, au in gauge, ag in cham
payne aig in campaign, aigh in
straight, and al in wait.
Other sounds are represented by
an almost equal variety of spellings.
Words pronounced alike have diff
ferent meanings, such as right-rite-
write-wright, to-two-too, oh-owe, and
many others. Words both spelled
and pronounced alike may mean en-
tirely different, things such as row
bow, lead, saw, and so on.
These peculiarities have to dc
merely with photography. When the
other innumerable inconsistencies Of
the language are considered the Won
der is that anyone ever learns tC
speak and write English correctly.
As matter of fact, hardly anyone
ever does.
