Com llGnt
WORTHWHILE AND OTHERWISE,
ON MATTERS IMPORTANT AND
UNIMPORTANT.
A WISE JUDGE

Our ports are always open for those
who do not like America and who
would like to make it over by adopt
ing here the isms of some foreign land,
said Judge J. B. Lindsey, while speak
ing recently in Spokane He suggested
that they leave this country and be-
take themselves to the other land they
consider much better Judge Linds-
ley spoke with wisdom when he said.
America is largely the product of
people from foreign countries or their
direct descendants who have created
a nation of opportunity. Those who
prefer the isms of some other country
should take the next boat there.
There is a tendency of some to
and benefits of some foreign govern
ment Our form of government may
not be perfect, but it stands out today
as the last and best hope of honest, in
dustrious men--a country under gov
eminent to which the people of foreign
lands beg the privilege. Of coming.
Our government through congress
makes laws to rule the people, but the
people of the United States made the
Constitution Of the United States to
rule their government. Therefore, any
assault on the fundamental law of the
land is a direct attack on the rights OF
the people themselves.
ITO those who would destroy this
government by force and bloodshed, let
us invite their attention to the fact our
ports are open and if they are dissat-
isfied with life under the Stars and
Stripes. let them go to the land that
seems desirable to them.
Let them not remain here to poison
and pollute this free country which has
harbored many of them too long al
ready. Our Constitution is our greatest
security against trouble"

Big Interests in Control
He attacked the republican party and
said it was controlled by the big in
terests. The republican party, Hoover,
the big interests and the high tariff
were responsible for the depression, he
said. Invention of machinery aided
by putting men out Of employment.

banks when Roosevelt took office and
with his closing of all banks. The

Deal legislation, citing the outlawing
Of utility holding companies and their

Look Out for the Beaver,

For long time there have been laws
protecting the beaver from destruction,
but now it appears something must be
done to protect mankind from the
beaver.
At least one might draw that con-
clusion from an incident that happened
during the past week. A beaver got
busy on large tree near Bologny ave-
nue. and dropped aforesaid tree across
one of the houses on the avenue. No
one was injured as no one was at home
at the time, but the corner of the house
was somewhat damaged If you happen
to be living on the outskirts OF the
town beside some stream, you had bet
ter look out for the beaver.
