Next TuPsday'B election will nettle
the fate of the proponed bond issue,
for the present at lenfrt, and by the
same rlfht will decide the future of
Alliance for the same period.
Tho authority for the IsHue, $47,
000, Is asked by the mayor and city
council that certain outstanding war
rants and other floating indebtness
may be taken up, the city's credit
bolstered and needed Improvement
made In the months to come. That all
this should be done none can gain
say that It must be done to allow
the natural healthy growth ml to per
in It the progress of the city to con
tinue unhmpered ennot successfully
bo condradicted. The warrants havo
boen Issued they have been drawn
in pnvtnent of necessary expense
tmd thy must be paid, but it can
hardly bo said that good Judgement
would dictate retrenching to the ex
tent that would be necessary for the
llquldt'.tlon, within the succeeding
few years of these claims through
the mi (Hums of revenue now avail
able. Alliance, like all other growing
cities, must recognize at once the
fact -.hat in just KBih proportions as
the town grows so will tho cost of
conducting the affairs of the munici
pality Increase. Such being the case
then must be provided a means of
Jncretsrd revenue, either by greater
tax nsHessments or by supplemented
trrlhrvlB. We muHt take care of this
indfh;neBs by authorizing the bond
issue or we must curb all Improve
ment expense and dig out the neces
sary amount from the resources at
Inn I. Can this be done? In our opin
ion not successfully so. To attempt
such a course would be to' plunge the
city into a Ave year period of retro
gression. No city or no business man
ttand still, figuratively speaking it
must go ahead or It must decline
an1 no city at the stage of Its growth
as represents the stage of Alliance's
present relation to her growth can
ever recover from a five year period
of ntaenntlon and retrogression. Alli
ance th"n. must continue to advance,
to Imr.ove and to grow or it must
submit to inevi-table decline.
All this progress is possible and
w ll bf accompliBehd. but it will not
be done by any ridiculous attempt
to so iessen the cost of financing tho
city ns to make possible the taking
up of -.his indebtness within a rea
sonable length of time.. The bonds
shoul 1 be voted and we believe they
will be. The revenue therefrom de
rived will enabl the city to save one
v one-half p r cent Interest on tho
vlre amount, which if for no oth
rr U sufficient virtue to give them
f-vr. After they have been voted
t" irdbtedness of the city will
trr-resent but ten per cent of
tv.-. v't'iMon and when It Is con
r' iced - hat the major portion of
t' ' !i '' btedness was incurred dur
ii b tr. past few years and during a
,piiliid when the town was grow lag
faster than the revenues were In
creased the showing is not one to
CHiif-e Tiprehenslon, but rather is
coim'.h nlable. Our tax levy Is very
rm 'r:,,e and especially so when
nr-nied with those of other towns
wlh no greater population and io
better Improvements. We are tn
dev 1 fortunate that we are not called
upon for larger things and we should
by our vote next Tuesday express
ourselves as uncompromisingly In fa
vor of the bond issue.

"All who havo pressed for a
league of nations to maintain peace
and prevent war niunt thank Ood as
fhey read the provisions of the con
stitution of the league upon which
the nations in conference at Farls
have agreed," says former President
Taft, In a copy-righted editorial in
the Philadelphia Ledger.
"President Wilson Is to be warmly
congratulated," Mr. Taft graciously
asserts, "that the league of nations
which he promised to the harassed
allied peoples In his messages and
addresses and has urged before the
conference, has taken such a form."
"It is a real league. It has clinch
ing end cinching provisions," Mr.
Taft maintains In an able and com
prehensive analysis of the covenant,
which combats the criticism and
should dispel the doubts of oppo
nents of the league.
The statement made In some quar
ters that the constitution of the
league as agreed upon nullifies the
Monroe Doctrine Is sharply challeng
ed by Mr. Taft. On this all-Important
question he says:
"Article X covers the Monroe Doc
trine AND EXTENDS TO THE
WOULD. T'e league Is not a su
per-sovereign, but a partnership in
tended to secure to us and all na
tions only the sovereignty we can
properly have, I. e., sovereignty reg
ulated by International law and mor
ality and consistent with the same
sovereignty of other nations. The
United States Is not under this con
stitution to be forced Into actual war
against its will. This league Is to
be regarded in conflict with the ad
vice of Washington only with a nar
row and reactionary viewpoint."
Mr. Taft closes his editorial In
dorsement of the league with the
hope "that a forward-looking senate
will not seek to defeat this grand ad
vance of mankind toward a Just and
lasting peace.
"Now that President Wilson
brings back to us a real league, and
has fully made good his announced
purpose, it would greatly please this
country If the senators could give
him unanimous support," Mr. Taft
concludes. "The fourteen nations
have done so, why not the senate?
Such action would be heard around
the world w'th acclaim."

Attention Voters!
I am a candidate for the office of Councilman from the third ward. For
more than five years I have been a resident and property holder of AUianco
and am familiar with the needs of the city. Am a member of the Alliance
Fire Department and if elected will strive to devote such time as is necessary
to give the wrd a good representation. I am. a firm believer in things pro
gressive, yet I think the city's expense should be kept as low as is possible
without hampering such progress. ' .
Your vote and support at the election on next Tuesday will be greatly,
appreciated and I assure you that if I am successful I will do all that I can to
uphold the confidence so placed.
Very respectfully,
H. A. Johnson
Candidate for Councilman Third Ward.
OXM ON "SCItl'n" I'HEIiKH
The term "booie hound" is
usually used when applied to
the man who catches bootleg
gers, but it had a different
meaning the night before last at
Bridgeport. "Scrub" Peeler,
former well known Alliance
man, is now the city marshal at
Bridgeport. His work consists
largely of watching the arrivals
from the trains which, come
down from Wyoming, for many
try to smuggle In booze.
"Scrub" and a state "booxe
hound" were watching the ar
rivals get off the Caspef train.
Among them was a rather elder
ly man, poorly dressed, who car
ried an old suitcase. The old
chap handled the suitcase gin
gerly, as though it might con
tain something that would
break. Setting it carefully in
side the door of the waiting
room at the depot, he left the
scene, as though afraid to be
seen in company with the suit
case any more than absolutely
necessary.
"Scrub" and his companion
Immediately scen-ted booze and
moved nearer to the suitcase,
keeping their eyes glued on it
as though fearful that it might.
get away. Presently, as they
looked, a thin stream of dark
liquid oozed from the suitcase
onto the floor.
"Ah, we've got the goods on
the old gent now," said Scrub.
"He's bumped the suitcase and
broken a bottle." Stepping
quickly to the suitcase he thrust
his Index finger of his right
hand nito the little pool on the
floor and tasted carefully.
"That's whiskey," said he. His
companion followed ' example.
"No, that ain't whiskey. It's gin
or somethln' else that's Intoxi
catln," said he.
"Well, we'll see which is
right," said Scrub, and they pro
ceeded to open the suKcase
without delay, in full view of
the crowd which had been
watching them. Inside the suit
case was and there wds noth
ing else a pair of young hound
pups, which gave vent to their
feelings of gladness by howls of
Joy, which mingled with the
howls of the crowd as "Scrub"
and the "booze hound" fled
down the rack murmuring,

"After a trip to Kilauea. the active
volcano of Hawaii, my Neolin-soled
6hoes were the only ones net abso
lutely ruined. Many in our party
wore hob-nailed boots," said Miss Jean
P. Lane of Seattle, Washington.
The sharp jagged lava cf Kilauea

and men and children, too who ere

Ncclin Soles. They come in many

And any repairman will re-sole your
