A man who lives in a community for 35 years is pretty well known to his fellow sitizens. Dr. W. A. Shannon has held many high offices in the city, and has been one of the leading physicians here for many years. A two-penny charge, based on the work of a “stool pigeon” and a “hop-head, will not destroy his reputation among those who know him, until thoroly proved.

It appears from the figures that our improved highways are also our buyways. Not Afraid of Truth Almost the first utterance of Lloyd George, once his feet gained these shores, ¥ _ “George Washington taught Englishmen how to treat free peoples decently.” Further, “The lesson you taught us in the 18th century has been the salvation of the British empire.” He meant that the revolt of the American colonies in 1776 opened the eyes and spurred the minds of Great Britain to such an extent that that country gained, from its defeat, an angle of view that made it great. He knew of no good reason, in history or otherwise, why hey should not be honest about it. Those horrified delvers in the school histories, who thought they had found a mass of English propaganda, might well take a lesson from Lloyd George. He told them, indirectly, that history loses nothing and peoples gain much when the truth is told. Prejudice, he said in effect, never wrote a fair book and intolerance never was or could be the starting point of a safe and sane educa- tion. Consequences are unpitying. Our deeds carry their terrible conse- quences, quite apart from any fluctuations that went before—conse ti urselves.—George Eliot. ¢ husband because he Such reticence as that is highly A Denver woman has just spoken to her for 20 years. elsewhere.

What Pinchot Did They are now giving Governor Gifford Pinchot, not the once-over, but the many-times-over, with the hope of uncovering where and why the presidential bee did, should, or will sting him. First pop, it is developed that he “reduced 102 tax- eating agencies of government to 21, abolishing and con- solidating offices with a stroke of the pen, established a budget system, and reduced appropriations thirty millions of dollars. In these days of easy-going money, this record is suf- ficiently pregnant to make Pinchot stand out from many of his fellows. If, in proportion, he could do even half as much were he president, he would find a grateful _ people ready and anxious to acclaim him. The question is, could he do it in the face of the tremendous power for reckless, unbridled expenditure that has intrenched itself at Washington? No doubt Pinchot would try. He is a fighter.» He is ' fearless. But he could not, in the face of the grand army of public plunderers and administrative spend- thrifts, fight alone and win. Those who talk him up and who believe in his capacity to do big and necessary things, would have to go all the way with him, for it would be a battle royal. And there is the difficulty. We talk economy of government and howl dolefully about heavy taxation, but we only talk and howl. We, ourselves, _ by indifference and let-George-do-it spirit, take all the punch out of the promises we exact and support at the polls. We never do a complete job of helping ourselves, Hail, rain and windstorm hit Woodward, Okla. At first they thought it was the governor. Milwaukee man has driven one car 000 miles. Parking space must be scarce there. They have sown the wind, and they shall reap tne whirlwind —Hos, viii. Perhaps Oklahoma may be forced to spell chaos with a “lk,” too. Hard to Subsist on Glory “Pressing personal business” is given as the reason for the resignations of Ambassadors Harvey and Childs. It is no way to quit a nice political job. Any “pressing” excuse is certain to create the suspicion of dismissal and if a fellow’s pay for wearing knee pants and sloshing around in high-toned European circles is too small, he shouldn’t feel ashamed to say so. We guess that Messrs, Harvey and Childs have looked their bank accounts over and discovered, as their predeces- sors have, that there’s nothing save glory in their ambassa- dorships, and it is awfully difficult to subsist on glory. A returned traveler says the two Americans best known in Europe are Henry Ford and Volstead. Same here. Much time and worry would be saved around the home by having eigaret ash designs on rugs.
