BUILDING A TOWN—PULL TOGETHER
Any town or any community tliat doesn't
pull together doesn't accomplish results these
days. It takes united action to build towns
and cities Oftimes individual ideas must give
way to the will of the majority. Right at
the present time Cordova people are moving
as a unit and the town is growing faster
and priperty enchancing more rupildy than
ever before. Let's keep up the good work.
— (Cordova Times.)
Very true, all of it, and it suggests that neces
caiy things to do are to support the civic and com
lucicial bodies, which are working for the town's up
building, and to support the local producer and mer
chant who give employment to people and contrlbuti
to the town's growth and support its institutions.
It is no excuse so say that the commercial anr
civic organizations are controlled by a few people
That is to confess that only a few people take
sufficient interest in the community to organize ant
contribute their time and money for the community
welfare. Rather join the organizations, add to thell
number* and their noprct^irtatlvcf character. 1
people would do that they usually would discovei
that those In these organizations are giving the lies
thought they have to Ibe common good, that the)
are putting up their own money for it, and tlial
they welcome suggestions and co-operation no matlei
whence they come.
Tht n patronize local producers and local mer
chants. This advice applies to producers and mer
chants at well as to those who work for wage 01
salary. Say to yourself. In the words of the Cordovt
Times:
My home and my happiness is founded In
My (Tty. She gives me end mine the pro
' tecfloil of law and order, lhal my property
may be enhanced and my right be sacred.
I vote here.
My City gives my children u superior
schooling. Good neighbors are mine. Truly,
My City Is "home spot” for me,
1 owe My City my full measure of civic
loyalty. If I pretend a manly and fair
conception of reciprocity, I must, upon every
occasion give My City a full measure of
loyalty through intelligent co-operation with
others of similar sentiments.
My City does not want my partisanship,
my offishness, my dissention. my criticism,
nor my indifference. Rather, My City ex
pects of mo qualities of high citizenship,
tolerant friendship, willing co-operation,
heart-given sympathy and intelligent sup
port .
WHAT DOES THE PARTY NAME MEAN?
The Republican nominee for United Slates Senator
from the Republican Stale of Minnesota, who made
l.ie campaign on the issue that he supported the poli
cies of the Administration of the Republican Presi
dent, who is the Republican Party leader in the
Nation, was defeated by a landslide majority.
"Isn't that fine? It is a magnificent victory in
behalf of the people." There are the words of Re
publican Senator Robert M ha Toilette, Republican
leader in Wisconsin.
Republican Senator Smith W. Urookhart, Republi
can leader cf Iowa, stepped off a steamship in New
York, returning from u vltit to Soviet Russia. He
said he had read three of the speeches of President
Harding, the National Republican leader, and udded:
"Three more such speeches would elect Henry Ford
President of the United States by ten million ma
jority," provided President Harding was the candidate
against hint
The Democratic nominee for Senator in Minnesota
was alEo overwhelming defeated. Democratic Senator
Clarence C. Dill of Washington declared that the elec
tion of the Farmer Labor nominee "will give the
Pr&gieselvfF in the whole country new heart for the
conflict in 11)24.”
What dues the party name mean In these piping
days?
To stop Americans from borrowing money in Lon
don the Bank of Lnglaud has raised the interest
late. Amcrirun borrowing in Iaindon made its first
appearance tince, the war this year, and was the re
mit of the fact that interest rates were lower there
than any other place in the world.
THERE SHOULD BE MOKE INDIVIDUALISM
AND LESS COLLECTIVISM.
Tin re should be a return to Individualism in edu
cational, sociological. Industrial, political and other
llnea. There should he more urge to the individual
and le s appeal lor mass action. No one’s condi
tion can be made much better through legislation
or the acts of the masses. if one Is to beeome /a
master workmen, an able member of a profession, a
capablo executive, prosperous - In short, if one is to
become successful -he must work it out himself. Like
wise If he Is to be a useful member of society and
gain a reputation. Ono cannot he legislated, agitated,
promoted, four-flushed or mobbed into anything that
Is worth while.
Teachers, evangelists, put e-living advocates, lead
«r
ova In all things lliat concern people, their welfare
and status would do well to devote more time to
urging individuals to comjuer and qualify themselves
for something better and less time trying to get
regulative laws for them.
More Individualism and less collectivism is needed
right now.
—
MORE WORKINGMEN REQUIRED.
Judge Gary says it would require 60.000 more
workers to permit the steel industry to reduce work
ing hours from twelve to eight a day unless pro
duction were reduced and he contends that the work
men cannot be obtained in the 1'nited States. That
| the hours of work ought to be reduced must be ad
imitted by all. On the other hand the steel production
(should not be forced downward. The remedy that
suggests Itself is to permit the entrance of European
steel workers to this country, and It is said more
than 60,000 would roine quickly if allowed to do so.
The admission of more skilled workingmen from
Europe would add to the producing powers of this
country, permit decreased cost of production, stimulate
exporting and add to the population that would con
sume American farm and other products. Each of
these eventualities would aid in maintaining pros
perity and improving economic conditions in America.
German marks were sold in New York July 9 at
285,710 to the dollar. Sterling was sold for $4.56,
a discount of 30 cents per pound. This Is a drop
of from 150,000 to the dollar July 1.
I he performance of a i mrn Pat ty in Alinnestoa
will not serve to discouruge those wrho want a Third
; Party Presidential candidate.
I*a^e Mr. Debs.
(Cincinnati Enquired.)
Emma Goldman, pythoness of socialistic prophecy
and high priestess of that philosophy, from her du
bious haven in Berlin cries out against the cruel
barbaiity of Mr. Debs’s friends in Russia. Miss Gold
man says the world cannto longer remain indifferent
to the horror cf the Soviet prison. She says that
Moscow alone holds in cruel und festering durance
more than 15.000 unfortunate human beings whose
crime was that they dared differ from the views of
i the Soviet leaders.
Miss Goldman probably is right as to her fads.
| She should know. She has many friends among the
I prisoners who—so she says—in many instances are
| choosing suicide rather than longer endure their
j tortures. It Is asserted that sixty per cent, of these
prisoners consist of workingmen and peasants und
j forty per cent, of the intelligentzia. Visits by friends
'are forbidden absolutely. The firing squads are kept
| adequately busy. Executions take place in the prison
j morgue. Most or the guards are drunk. Tuberculosis,
j scurvy and typhoid are everywhere prevalent. Un
thinkable Indignities are suffered by the prisoners.
rfo goes the tale of Emma, formerly an eloquent
and persistent adocate of Bolshevism in this “capital
istic" republic, which she still thinks she could
improve, and to which she very ardently desires to
return.
Perhaps Mr. Debs and his friends here will take
Emma to task tor thus exposing, or slandering, those
gentle und humane leaders whose ears heard not the
cry cf starving millions, who for "the security of
I he state and I lie well-being of the proletariat" mer
cifully murdered the servants of the church, and
whose chief animating spirit even now dreams of
'filling tlie skies with death-vomiting planes with
| which he hopes to bring the gentiles of capitalism
jthe lovers ol liberty and law to their knees In kub
jeetion to the beneficent rule of the "saviours" of
• Russia!

Where Only Money Talks.
(New York World.)
The National Merchant Marine Association is an
nouncing its unalterable opposition to direct Govern
ment operation ot the ships nqw owned by the United
States Government. This was to be expected. But
It Is preparing alternative plans of action, and this
i is good.
There are three couress open to the Government
jtn this matter, and only three. It must (1) operate
I tin. ships itself, or (2) sell them for private opera
tion. or (3) scrap them or take them out into deep
water and sink them. But to sell the ships the Gov
ernment must have buyers willing to pay some sort
o. a price. Otherwise, and if the Government must
not operate them, it might as well scuttle the whole lot.
Uor those, therefore, who oppose Government op
eration and do not want the ships sunk, money Is
the thing which tulks and not words. What has the
National Merchant Murine Association to say in terms
ol money? How greatly is it opposed to Government
operation measured in money? if. as it says Gov
ernment pocration will inevitably mean great financial
t0 the Pl,bllc Treasury, what is its plan of
ulsposal which will save the Government front that
css. It may be sure that the country will await
its answer with an open mind and no little interest.
That Is America.
(San Francisco Bulletin.)
Forty-one years ago a boy came to America as a
steerage passenger in an immigrant ship. He bad no
capital save his natural abilities and ambition, but
j thoy were capital enough in this land of golden op
portunity. On Wednesday, and as James J. Davis,
Secretary of Labor, a member of President Harding’s
Cabinet, lie sailed for Kurope on the Leviathan in a
suite once specially reserved for Kaiser Wilhelm, em
peror of Germany. That is America.
j A writer In a New York newspaper has compiled
j a lexicon of Australian slang which is said to have
charartertlxlics all its own. When an Australian says
a man is "the dizzy limit,” lie is presumed to tie an
obnoxious person. This phrase docs not refer to the
threo-mlle limit, as Americans might suppose—(Seat

That unselfish and hard-working patriot, "Pussy

he receives for doing it.—(Cincinnati Enquirer.)

If You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best
■
Have you ever stopped to reason
why it is that so many products
that are extensively advertised, all
at once drop out of sight and are
Boon forgotten? The reason is
plain—-the article did not fulfil the
promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medi
cine. A medicinal preparation that
has real curative value almost sells
itself, as like an endless chain sys
tem the remedy is recommended by
those who have been benefited, to
those who are :« nw-j of K.
A prominent druggist says "Take
for example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, a preparation I have sold for
many years and never hesitate to
recommend, for in almost every case
it bIiows excellent results, as many
of my customers testify. No other
kidney remedy has so large a sale.”
According to sworn statements
and verified testimony of thousands
who have used the preparation, the
success of I)r. Kilmer’s Swamp
Root is due to the fact, so many
people claim, that it fulfils almost
every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder aliments, corrects
urinary troubles and neutralizes the
uric acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle
of Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Ad
dress Dr. Kilmer * Co., Bingham

also mention this paper. Large and
medium size Lotties for sale at all
drug stores. (advertisement.)
