First house north Court House ALLIANCE, NEBRASKA To the younger boys and irls present, it may seem that the events o! today are for the purpose ol commemorating the ad vancement in building tbis magnificent monument to the zeal of those engaged in a noble work and to their faith in the fu ture growth of the community in which this grand institution sha I continue to flourish. To the older ones, be it known that throughout these United States wherever there flourishes an order of the Knights of Columbus, this, the 12th day of October, is selected as the proper day for celebrat ing in an appropriate manner with the laudable purpose in view ot arousing pub lie sentiment to the desirability of creating by our Federal Coogress another national holiday in commemoration of thediscovery by the great Columbus, this continent, embracing our own American country. Washington, as the leader of national forces that freed our country from the yoke of monarchial rule, is accorded the honor of a national holiday, Lincoln, as the leader of national forces that (reed the slaves from the yoke of bondage, is ac corded the honor of a national holiday, why then should not the man whose in trepid courage paved the way for freedom from the yoke of poverty and servility of the common people of European countries by the discovery of a new continent to which they might build a nation for them- kpIuph. lift accorded hv a similar honor? uv..v. j If the real significance of this day's celebration fails to impress those whom it is intended to aflect, then the true mission will fail in its purpose. If no thought may be generated, nor lesson learned, then of necessity these celebrations must be purposeless. There is a lesson to be learn ed and if in these few remarks I can drop a few words that may at least cause some thought, then I shall feel amply rewarded for the effort. From the beginning of lime of which civilization has record, the chief struggle with humanity has been ambiiion on the part of a few to accumulate wealth and power that they might dominate and sway the more lowly, and on the other hand for the more humble to free themselves from domination by the more powerful. And, in all ages, by some Divine power the humble and lowly were always led from such bondage until by their own indiffer ence they again fell as slaves to such con ditions. It was from such bondage that the Almighty led the Isrealites from their task-masters in Egypt to Cannan's land, where as great nations they flourished un til the slavery of inequality became so burdensome that Jesus Christ was sent to earth for the redemption of mankind from the sins and follies that again led them into the wilderness of bondage. Again, after many years, when conditions as be tween the rich and powerful on the one hand and the poor and oppressed on the other were becoming intolerable, the Al mighty provided an avenue of escape by raising up Christopher Columbus, who. like our Savior, came not from the ranks of the rich and powerful, but rather from the humble surroundings of the meek and lowly. No mortal being, not under the guiding hand of Almighty (Sod, could have hoped to accomplish the work accomplish ed by this humble sailor under conditions that would have discouraged any man not Divinely inspired. Thus it will be ob served that all great deeds and achieve ments for the betterment and uplifting of the poor and oppressed souls on this earth are the works of men born to humble sur roundings and heritage and if thisis worth anything to us as a lesson, it ought to be that there is but litt'e satisfaction in knowing that one's standard in the world is that based solely upon money and abili ty to accumulate sordid wealth with the arragant power usually accompanying it. An honest heart, fidelity to purpose, moral integrity, scorn for small and petty actions, is an aristocracy of wealth greater than any bank account, stocks or bonds, with out such qualities. 'Mlow much is he worth?" is commonly the first question asked about a stranger, and public opinion Is generally formed favorably or unfavorably according to the answer. No one thinks of first asking, "What is his character or moral worth?" For a man possessed of high moral ideals, more genuine pleasure and satis faction can be obtained in associations with those whose only worldly possessions are good moral and educational qualities than from association with those possessed with neither and whose basic principles and beliefs are that money can buy every thing and anything Returning to Columbus, what resulted from his great achievement of discovery? The answer is, "this great and grand country of ours, built up by all seeking freedom from customs of foreign countries that forever placed a ban upon the educa tion and uplifting of the poor for whom opportunity alone could open the gates to a greater and higher civilization and in this new found country opportunity lav ished her blessings upon all poor and op pressed seeking her favor The doctrine of Jesus Christ to "go ye forth unto all the earth preaching the blessing of salvation,' certainly found favor in this country opened to posterity by the discovery of Columbus, for it has been practiced to such a degree that the idea of the "Divine rights of kings has now become that of ridicule if not execration and ere long from beneath the wreckage of all tottering mon archial thrones the spirit imbibed from this land given us through Columbus will arise to grant to the lowly and humble of all nations, opportunities enjoyed by our selves in this land of the free and home of the brave And while we are flattering ourselves upon being the progenitors of the spirit of freedom that is awakening all nations of the earth, let us not forget that agencies are at work to sap the founda tions of our own boasted opportunities. We denounce the ignorant and blood thirsty anarchists or perhaps the milder mannert'd socialists as enemies to our government but let us not overlook the fact that in many of our states aqd even with our national government combina tions of pelf and graft are constantly at work making their own laws for legalizing acts of highway robbery and when at tacked promptly appeal for protection to those laws administered by their own ap pointed courts and judges. If we would preserve our nation to grant posterity the same opportunities that in past years have opened the gates to happiness, prosperity, social and religious upliftment for the poor, humble and lowly willing to receive and'accept them, it were well that we give not willing ear to the siren voice of wealth be at the sacrifice of political virture. The same devil of avarice that templed Judus Iscariot is in the land today seeking to tempt with prospects of power those to whom we look for proper guidance of our government and it is a duty of all right thinking people when observing all of those in authority consorting directly or indirectly with this devil of avarice to prove their courage by withholding their support from any and all such persons and by this means may we hope to perpetuate to all posterity the hlessings ol a govern ment secured by reasoo of opportunity aflorded and handed down to us through the courageous and Divinely inspired Co lumbus. Faith in the character and abili ty of all followers of the patron of the order of Knights of Columbus inspires one with a belief that the banner of freedom from oppression by all worldly power will ever be carried aloft, giving hope to the fallen and courage to the timid and weak for the continued advancement of a better and higher civilization, for by faith all things are made possible. If faith produce no works I see ..That faith is not a living tree. Thus faith and works together grow "No separate life they ere can know. They're soul and body hand and heart What God hath joined, let no man part. Salt River Valley Is Prosperous VALUE OF THE RESERVOIR The crops raised in the Salt River Val ley this year are the best in the history of the valley. j Ana mis result lias ueeu acmevcu iu guished by one of the worst drouths Ari zona has ever known? The splendid result as to crops is directly due to the Roosevelt reservoir. Experts estimate that the stored water from the Roosevelt reservoir has added mote than one million dollars to the value of this year's crops This stored water amounted, in round figures to 200,000 acre feet. Tnat is, at the beginning ot the season there was water in the reservoir sufficient to cover 200,000 acres to the depth of one foot. The comparatively small amount of wa ter that was stared was, of course, due to the fact that the dam last winter had not reached a point high enough to store more than 200,000 acre feet. Because of the uncompleted dam, a vast quantity of flood water went on its wasted way to the sea. l'he dam as it stands now will store in the reservoir. ONE MILLION. FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND acre feet of wstcr Thus it is seen that this vear, notwith standing that but ONE-SEVENTH of the reservoir's capacity was used, the stored water has brought unexampled prosperity to the valley. Nature has an unfailing habit of even ing things up". An extreme drouth is fol lowed by a period of unusual rainfall. All the doctrines of chance support the expectation that before the coming winter is ended there will be abundant rains on the Salt River watershed, and that great q lantities of water will be stored in the riservoir for next year's crops, and the crops to follow. The Salt River valley prospered for thirty years without a reservoir few farm ing regions in the world enjoyed a greater or more uniform prosperity. The reservoir simply makes it certain that this valley will be the most productive irrigated district in the world. No man, not even the most imaginative, can easily overestimate tht enormous value of the reservoir to the valley. Arizona Republican, October 6, 19x0. Reception for Mrs. Vance From V raoro Arbor Stute, Oct. T. The Women's Christian Temperance Union held a reception Tuesday after noon at the home of Mrs. Martin Han sen for Mrs. John Vance of Alliance, Nebr , who was formerly an active member of this Union. There was a large number of ladies present and among them Mrs. St. John, who is making many speeches throughout the state in the temperance cause. She gave the ladies a very interesting talk which should be very helpful to moth, ers and the young people who heard her. A delicious luncheon, consisting of chicken sandwiches, apple salad, choc olate, fruit salad and cake, was served. The rest of the time was spent in visiting with Mrs. Vance, who was greeted with a warmth of friendship which doubtless impressed her that she still held a place in the recollection of a large circle of wymore people. Forced to Leave Home Everv year a large number of poor suf ferers, whose lungs are sore and racked with coughs, are urged to go to another climate. But this is costly and not always sure. There's a better vay. Let Dr. Kiog's New Discovery cure you at home. "It cured me of lung trouble," writes W. R Nelson, of Calamine, Ark., '"when all else failed and I gained 47 pounds in weight.
