How many times must thé advice be reiterated, how often must the public be reminded that a dollar spent away from home serves the spender but once! There fs no earthly reason for putting money where it will bring but mea- ger returns. The shrewd business man does not work this way. He knows that the oftener he can turn his money to advantage, the richer. he will be. The man who buys a pair of shoes is just: as much of a husi- ness man as the person who buys a city block and he merits just as much in proportion on his invest- ment. If he sends his dol’ar out of his city and out of hia state he 4s not likely to see that dollar again either in his own pocket or.in his neighbors. It is gone forever not to bring him further dividends. If he spends it at home it means that the profit which the merchant makes from it is kept at home, is in- vested at home and reacts to the benefit of the city. This is not a selfish idea. It is the privilege of every community to-look out for itt own best Interests in order that it may function properly as an inta gral part of the country and in order that it may fulfill its duty as a community. There are children to be educated, there are homes to be built, there are laws to be made, there are mor- als to be upheld, there is in short progress to be experienced in the community as well as in the coun- try at large. Casper does not want everything. It cannot have everything. It has basked beneath the sunshine of for- tune and a few clouds have not cooled its spirits nor have the winds of pessimism caused it to shiver. It still looks for those things which are its rightful share. It de- mands them of its citizens as being decent and proper privileges. It knows that only in this way can it continue to progress and continue to be fortunate. ‘Each one for himself and the devil take the_higdmost” is not the spirit that builds cities oy nations. Co-operation helped thirteen colonte: to attain independence, Co-operation helped to defeat a war lord. Co-op- eration has built. every nation that ever amounted to anything and every city that ever amounted to anything either. The merchants of Casper are in- terested in Casper. They have to be and they are glad to be. They want to interest other people in Casper and they have succeeded in doing so to a remarkdble degree. “A small cow town,” so the his torians say, “to the present city of 30,000 wide awake inhabitants.’ And it wasn’t built dn mail orders. LABOR DAY TO MARK OPENING OF CAMPAICN Republican and Democratic Orators to Hold Forth All Over Country ~ in Bid for the Labor Vote BY FRAZER EDWARDS United Press Staff Correspondent make NEW YORK, Aug. 30.—Labor Day marks the real opening of the presidential campaign.

Davis, Democratic standard bearer and Senator LaFollette, independent leader—will usher in the busy political season with bids for labor support. “Davis makes his appeal in Wheeling, W. Va., before the Ohio Valley trades assembly and LaFollette will address a vast audl- ence by radio from Washington. While President Coolidge is not scheduled to speak, Republican ora- tors all over the country will be speaking at public gatherings.

L, Aug. 30.—(United Press.}—Helen Ja- cobs, 15-year-old school girl of San Francisco, won the Narragansett Pier invitation tournament today by disposing of Miss Anna Fuller of Boston, inthe final~match, 6 to: 1 and 7 to 5. In the semi-finals of the mixed doubles played this morning, Miss Jacobs and G. L. Lambert defeated Miss R. Thompson and H. Heyl, 6-2, and 64, Miss M. Blake and W. C, Wright defeated Miss P. Anderson and Howard Homans, 6-3 and 6-0. This afternoon Miss Jacobs and G. L. Lambert defeated Miss M. Blake and W. C. Wright in the final match, 4-6, 7-5 and 6-3. The term which Magée at this time is technically serving ‘is a sixty day sentence imposed by Judge Leahy for direct contempt of Leahy'’s court, and is the third sentence for the same offense, de’ livered by the accused judge within # lttle more than a year. In all cass of conviction, followed by sentence of fines and imprison: ment, Magee was pardoned by Governor James Hinkle. He is now at Uberty on $2,000 bond pending decision by the state supreme court, ;which is to pass on the legality of the governor's pardon in a direct contempt case. Leaders of the “progressive” wing of the Democratic party in the state declare that either Magee or Judge Richard H. Hanna, his chief counsel in the numerous legal conflicts of the past eighteen months, must be nominated for the senatorial race. They say that in no other way will the widely separated factions of the party be united for a victorious struggle in the November elections. On the other hand ‘‘conservatives’’ brand Magee as a radical of the worst stamp; the agitator who is Tesponsible for present conditions, and a man who would conipletely wreck the existing . organization. controlled, “rotten” and “unfit for Thelr opposition *.

O. P. Nominee. By H. R. COX (United Press Staff Correspondent) WITH CHARLES G. DAWES, EN ROUTE TO CHICAGO, Aug. 30. —In h'gh spirits following a two day visit with, folks who knew him nearly four decades ago, Charles @ Dawes, Republican candidate for vice president tonight waa on his way home to Evanston, where he will rest several days in prepara- tion for further speaking tours. The general seemed well pleased with the reception given him partic. ularly with the size of the crowd which turned out to hear him open his campaign in the west last night in the Nebraska Memorial stadium. Clearly tired when he left Chi- cago, Dawes was rested tonight after a long night's s’eep on the train coming out and two daym of “taking things easy” at the home of 8. H.- Burnham, a friend who still takes delight in telling how he loaned ‘Charlie’ the $100 on which he was married. Besides the speech last night, no formal engagements of any kind had been made for the Republican can- didate, who passed his time making and receiving informal visits. Gen- eral John J. Pershing, his chief dur- ing war days in Paris, spent several hours with him yesterday. For fifteen. minutes today, Dawes also buried the tomahawk with his Democratic opponent, Governor Charles W. Bryan. ‘ Calling at the executive offices in the state capitol, Dawes was cor- dially greeted and spent a quarter of an hour tatking over the Lin- coln of thirty years ago, when Bry- an had just come west to seek his fortune in company with hie broth- er, William Jennings, and Dawes had just come west to seek his for- tune as an attorney. zReporters were, barred during the interview, but photographers were admitted and snapped a few shots of the two candidates—Dawes puff- ing away at the upside down pipe that has become a trade mark— and Bryan wearing the black felt hat that replaces hig widely advertised full cap on all except public occa- sions. ’ The Dawes train will arrive tn Chicago tomorrow at 7 a. m.

However, they expect Cool- idge to get a‘ fair labor vote Thus far the ku klux klan is the most discussed issue in the cam- paign but others are expected to de- velop rapidly as the candidates out- line their views on other subjects. While both Davis and LaFollette in denouncing the klan expressed hope it would not become a political is- sue, their actions have served only to bring it more fo the fore. The endorsement of Davis’ views on the'klan by the Democratic con- ventions in Ohio, Kansas and Idaho and the klan endorsement.of the Republican candidates for governor in Maine and Indiana gives party leaders reason to believe that the Klan issue is in the campaign “to stay. The claims of the rival managers in the campaign may be summarized as follows: Republican Chairman William M. Butler of the Republican national committee, after a survey of the situation in the west, refuses to concede either Davis or LaFollette a single state north of. the Ohio or West of the Mississippi. The situa- tion in Wisconsin and Minnesota, generally conceded to&he independ- ent cand{date, is such, according to Butler that Coolidge and Dawes are likely to get the electoral votes in both states. Democrats—What appeared a for- lorn hope for the Democratic party, divided on the klan {ssue in the New York conyention, has changed since Davis acceptance speech ‘until Clem L. Shaver, chairman of the Demo- cratic nationa] committee, is confi- dent of Democratic success. * “Independents”—With senator La Follette using the radio extensively and Senytor Wheeler, his running mate, beginning a speaking tour of virtually every state, the independ- ents are not overlooking any votes, not even inthe Democratic: strong- holds in the south. \/John.M.

HERRIN, IUs., Aug. 30.—(United Press.}—George Galligan, sheriff of “bloody Williamson county,” was barricaded tonight in the city hos- pital with huge crowds threatening to storm the building and take him prisoner. Several of Ga'ligan’s dep- uties were with him. Galligan and his aides sought ref- uge in the hcspital when the crowds threatened ‘the sheriff’s office fol- lowing a riét this afternoon between members and foes of the ‘Ku Klux Klan, {n which deven men were kill- ed and a dozen injured. As the menacing crowds advanced toward the building, Galligan sent a telegram to Springfield, appealing to Adjutant General Carlos Black tu hurry troops to the scene. State troops had previously been ordered mobilized at Carbonda‘e—twenty miles away—but were told to remain there pending Galligan's appeals for The crowds believed to be com- posed almost entirely of the klan factions, mounted a machine gun on the steps of the city hall. Hundreds of men recruited to the storming party. Shots were fired on the strong- hold where Galligan and his dep- utles were quartered. The shots were answered from the hospital in an attempt to drive the storming party away. ‘The town where just two years ago 24 men were slain in famous “Her- rin massacre” was on battle edge, thin time the ine being drawn’ be- tweon members of the Ku Klux Klan and. their enemies whereas in 1922 the fight was between union miners and their sympathizers and non- union employes of the Lester mine. Today's outbreak started directly in front of the city hall. It was open- ed in an argument between Carl and Earl Shelton, both indicted for the murder of Saesar Cagle klan constable during a riot on February $ and John Brabadellia, city health officer, The murder charge against the Shelton boys was nolle prossed this morning after a dramtic appeal for their re‘ease was made in court by the aged father.of the slain con- stable. This a:tion was indirectly re- spor ()!e. for the riot. M:@ ing Brabadellia on the main str/t just after their release, one of the Sheltons became involved in ‘an argument with the health officer and atruck him with his fist. Klansmen and their foes began to gather immediately and in a mo- ment a pistol shot rang out. This was followed by general shooting. When the emoke cleared away, six men lay in the street. Four ot them had been killed instantly. Two who were stil were taken to the hospital but died a few moments” later. Those were Deputy Sheriffs Allison and Roland. Galligan himself assisted tn tak. ing his deputies to the hospital. H» found it surrounded by crowds ot armed men who theratened him but! allowed him to pass unmolested into the building. .When his aides died, Galligan pre. paréd to leave the building, but changed his mind when ho saw ths crowd outside had grown in num. bers: Threats of death were mad. Then it was that he turned back ani wired to the state capital for troops, sending his telegram by messang..~ through the crowds to the telegraph In addition to the two deputy sheriffs Green Dunning, Dewey New. bolt, Char'es Willard and Chester ‘Willard and Chester Reid were ki!!- ed in the afternoon riot. Carl Shel- ton was wounded. Galligan, who came into office soon after the Herrin mine riots, in curred the enmity of the klan forces in the county by opposing the pro- hibition raids led by S. Glenn Young, self-styled “czar of | Williamson county.” Glenn, with guns and side- arms, organized raiding parties of klansmen and placed scores of sa- loons and roadhouses under padlock. The first factional outbreak be. tween klansmen and members of a rival organization Known as the “Knights of the Flaming Circle.” began last February when citizens armed themselves for protection as rioting became imminent. The outbreak was halted by the arrival of several companies of stats troops, which were kept in Herrin and adjoining mining towns for sev- eral days. ~ ‘The troops had been removed only a few days when a second riot was threatened and the troops wer again ordered to take charge of the situation.
