CANADIANS WOULD BE
"AMERICANS"

Several months ago when there was
a movement started in Canada to buy
what is known as the Alaskan Pan
handle, strip of land we own, which
the Canadians have long wanted, the
provincial parliament of British Col
umbia passed resolution or memorial
asking negotiations be started look
ing to a union of Canada and the
United States. The British Column
bans argued that Canadians and
Americans spoke the same language,
thought alike, dwelt side by side in
perfect amity, and had so many in
terests in common that there was no
good reason why the two countries
should not become one. The sugges-
ton as to annexation aroused no
argument on either side of the border
line but there was no appreciate en-
thusiasm in support of the plan.
Nothing tangible resulted.
The British Columbians are appar-
emily disappointed. If they can't
bring about a union of the two coun-
tries, they propose to share the title
Americans" with US. The newspapers
of Vancouver are protesting against
the worldwide practice of designat-
ing the United States as America
The papers do not deny that our coun-
try is a part of America and admit
that the designation is measurably
accurate but they insist that they
should be taken in, too. Not only do
they want in. but they argue that
America, North, South and Central,
consists of considerable area not in
cluded within our union of states and
that the use of the words America"
and Americans" is misleading not to
say unfair.
What peeves the British Columbians
particularly is that their cousins
across the sea are the worst offenders.
The Vancouver papers are calling
upon the British press to drop "this
pernicious habit" which carries the
inference that the United States is the
only nation in this hemisphere.
Canada with its ten million indie
predetermined citizens walls the
Vancouver Sun, objects to losing her
identity"
Up to the present we were not
aware that Canadians felt so strongly
on the subject, although we have no.
ticed in talking with our neighbors
across the line that they sometimes
use the word Americans" in referring
to themselves.
Well, SO far as we are concerned,
we are willing to divide the name with
the Canadians. Neither the people of
the United States nor the government
have claimed exclusive right to the
designation. We are proud Of the fact
we are Americans, but we don't ask
to be recognized as the only ones. We
have no patent in the name, but even
the protesting newspapers of British
Columbia admit we have an interest
and we are entitled to have some ma
tional appellation. Yankees would
hardly do and United Statesers in
awkward, almost jaw-breaker.
If the Canadians can't persuade the
world to quit calling US Americans,
perhaps they can originate a word
that will serve. Better than that they
can proceed with their plan for
union Of the two countries and move
in under the U. s. A. main tent

Because the fly is small and does
not roar like a lion or devour its prey
at mouthful, mankind pays little at
tention to it. But the fly is as deadly
a foe to civilization as any of the pests
of more fearsome aspect, which man
makes it his business to exterminate.
The fly's attack is insidiuos and
therefore the more to be guarded

ON MANEUVERS
Squadron of Famous Tenth
Arrives to Spend Week
End Before Hiking

The second squadron o. the 10th
cavalry, Major G. B. Hazeltine COM
manding, arrived in Douglas shortly
before noon Friday and pitched camp
at Camp Harry j. Jones. The squad
ron, which is made up OF troops
E. and F., there being but two troops
to a squadron under the latest regu-
lationS, has a number OF very fine
horses and will exhibit them at the
fair grounds this afternoon and on
Sunday afternoon.
The squadron is on maneuvers and
will take up the march again on
Monday, going up the Sulphur Springs
valley to McNeal and thence west
back to Fort Huachuca, the home
station of the regiment The squad
ron left Huachuca on Wednesday
morning and made the ride to Doug
las in easy stages so as not tc
stiffen their show horses.
An officers jumping class from the
10th will exhibit at the fair grounds
in connection with other activities
there and members OF Tie troops,
and officers, will participate in races
and especially in Roman race to
be staged Sunday afternoon which
will be thrilling event as it will
feature the highly trained army
mounts in the death defying ride.
The jumping class is another very
pretty action and the various types
of Jumps have been built at the
grounds and will be set up today
for the events. Major Joi1n E. Greed,
commanding the first battalion OF the
25th infantry, permanently stationed
at Camp Jones, has extended the
courtesies Of the mess to the visiting
troopers so that the infantrymen
and the cavalrymen are dining from
the same boards while the horses
are sharing the picket lines and
corralS.

Observation-Disclosures are in
terested in politics, and the people
generally seem willing to let them
take care OF it. The fact tnat
politicians are thus lett in charge
of the national welfare means that nc
vital problems are to be disposed OF
unless large organized groups per-
suade the politicians that it is polite
ally dangerous to dodge them. 1t
also means that no man may be
nominated and elected president
merely ecause he is the popular
choice.
All this has been especially demon
Strated in years divisible by four and
its truth is again evident in ;5S28,
Congress, apparently afraid to do
anything in the face of elections,
doesn't. And those who once believed
that the primary system would result
in popular rule must confess again
that the primaries generally can be
controlled by politicians, despite some
notable exceptions which may justify
their existence.
Take first the re-convention re-
publican campaign. It is the best
example of the prostitution OF the
primary because the democrats are
more accustomed to factional discord
and because their leading candidates
are in some instances fighting one
another for the same delegates. The
outstanding republican candidates arc
not to be found fighting each otner
for primary delegates in one of the
IT states which have the presidential
primary.
The largest presidential primary
state is Pennsylvania, with 100000
and mob OF 70 delegates.
Not a single candidate Tor nomina-
ton filed his petition before the
closing date and Boss Ware and the
Bosses Mellon are sending an un-
instructed delegation to Kansas City.
The bosses will decide for the great
mass of republicans in this great
state just whom they
want tc be president. They told the

CHAMBER MAKES
NEW AGREEMENT
ON ADVERTISING

Having lost the original agreement
between the merchants rot to adver-
tise in any promotional scheme or for
any outside proposition until the
proposition had been given the APP
prevail OF the committee for that
purpose named by the chamber OF
commerce, a new agreement IS being
signed by the business men OF the
city. The agreement is being carried
by Secretary George B. Doubleday OF
the chamber and business interests
generally are signing it. The MEM
berShip of the chamber will all sign
it. .... -
The agreement relieves tile nldivid-
ual merchant OF the need Of making

merely referring him to the agree

merchant or other business firm
agrees that mr-ess the person carry

authorization from the chamber OF

not sign it. In fact, ii he does sign
it there are penalties that he must

The primary certainly has no warm
friend among politicians, but its
nearest approach to champion is
Hoover in Indiana and Ohio. 1t is
interesting to note that his oppon-

regarded as stalking horses for Dawes

More Truth Than Poetry

THE MYSTERY OF COLDS

BY great physicians I've been told
That that poor thing OF coughs and
sneezes
Which people call common cold
Can start a dozen dread diseases.

For years ana years may never
get him,
But sullenly their time they bide
And when it comes they rise and
get him.
But if my doctor I should call
When this poor malady assailed me.
know he'd not pleased at all
If 1 revealed to him what allied me.
Regretting had made so bold
I'd cover in contrition
When he observed: you've got a
cold,
You have no need OF a physician!"
I've had a thousand colds, I guess
+. And none of them has served to
floor me- }iss.-. -
But I am worried, none the less
To think those germs are laying
And in some strange queer protein
form
Like hungry bees let loose in clover,
Along my arteries will swarm
Until at last they bowl me over.
If colds do this, why don't M. DIS
The while about the town they
hurry
Hear countless people cough and
Sneeze
Refuse SO steadily to worry?
If colds breed devastating ills
Which by and by are sure to kill
us,
Why don't these men who know their
pills
Nip in the bud their base bacillus?
