On next Tuesday, July 25, at noon, ( the books of enrollment will close. After that time no one may qualify < for taking part in the Democratic < primary elections in South Carolina i this summer. A great deal has been < said about the backwardness of the j women in putting their names on the club books. There are also many i men who have failed to enroll. It j is the exceptional person who can 1 put forward a legitimate excuse for j neglec'.ing this prime obligation ol ? citizenship. The club books are con- ; veniently located, they are kept open ] for regular and reasonable periods, i and no citizen, man or woman, should \ have to lose more than a half hour's time at most in order to enroll. < After next Tuesday it will be too ] late. Unless your name is on the ; books before noon of July 25 you will l be for the next two years a sort of j political squaw-man. This is one of 1 those duties which should not be put j off. Enroll today and don't fail to i sign your full name and to state i vour ace as well as vour height and i occupation. Arthur Brisbane, the editor, says: i "Man can't help rejoicing when the I wicked are stung, by a bee or other- ? wise. The mayor of Elizabeth got 1 a letter from Canada offering him ^ "twelve full quarts of best quality 1 Canadian rye for $18." t "Ht showed the letter to the pro- t hibition agent, who sent $18 and got the "tw-.ive full quarts Canadian t rye." It was net whiskey, just the f rye grain, neatly bot:led. This in- 1 telligent Canadian, exploiting will- c ingness of Americans to disobey their t Constitution, is shipping two carloads t - -r it ?? _ j !-_ 1? ? t oi rye a uay, inaiujig a jaigc iui- tune every week. Ask the farmer b how he would like to get $1.50 a a quart for the newly tWreshed rye. $ $48 a bushel for grain would make t farming profitable." R b For 12 years a Florida farmer has r raised watermelons on 1,000 acres, ii In all that time he has never shipped t a melon but let them spoil in the a fields except those he and his neigh- u bors eat. The melons are grown ex- e clusiveiy for their seed, which are s sold to planters of Florida, Georgia A and other southern states. v - o c After serving 27 years as a school- v teacher, Miss Mary E.

Fourteen other teachers r were dismissed at the same time but s the dismissals were rescinded when r the trustees were visited by a com- t mittee of citizens who demanded that the other teachers be reinstated at a once. ? r o?

The president of the United States has just made this solemn statement, which must find a responsive echo in every true American heart: "The foremost thought in the Constitution is the right to freedom ami the pursuit of happiness. Men must be free to live and achieve. Liberty is gone in America when any man is denied by anybody the right to woik and live by that work. It does not , matter who denies." Ku Klux KJansmen who first whip and then run out of town those who do not please them; the murderers of . Herrin, III.; the capitalists who grind ( wages down below Jiving possibilities; ] and the unions who forbid others to work in the places they vacate on ( strike should all take this statement of Warren G. Harding's under most , careful consideration. j I Louis James, nationally known avi- . ator, swung from one plane to another by means of a rope ladder. In j some way the two planes did not separate promptly enough; his ladder ( swung him against the propellor of j the machine from which he had jump- ^ cd, and he was literally cut to pieces, j in midair. ^ Madame Georges Breyer, French t woman of Lyons, chartering an airplane for a hurried trip from a vacation resort to Naples, found nature t faster than the machine and bore a j son 6,000 feet in the air. Both she . ind the boy were safely landed, and j ater she purchased the machine, which had thus become immortal as the first to give life. ci.-? ?4 <.,..?,i,ii;?? r lying 15 \Cl ill 11^ onauuim^ j rlothes. We do not but begin to j enow what we have yet to learn ? ibout the conquest of the air. But ong before births in airplanes are is common as births on steamers or j trains, civic consciousness will have e iwakened to the enormity of per- * nitting brave but foolhardy men to ? "isk their lives in needless "stunts" for the thrilling of gaping sightseers. ^ 3 Representative Upshaw of Georgia ^ s backing a bill in congress, the pur- _ )ose of which is to extend financial lid to relatives of victims of the ^ vnickerbocker Theater disaster. It f vill be recalled that Representative a ."pshaw's neice was one of the vicims and one of the heroines of the ragedy. With most sincere respect for the jrief which all who hail relatives and riends in this' surpassing horror lavo cilfFnrcJ if v,pf>ins VISA to DOl'llt ?ut that there is no more reason for he United States Treasury to come 0 the relief of the survivors of this raged y than to help those who were ereaved in the Iroquois Theater distster in Chicago or the General llocum holocaust.in New York. On he theory that the United States " right have prevented the Knicker- <t ocker disaster by a better, larger or ' acre adequate building department 1 the city government of Washing- J on, D. C., the unthinking may find J ome support for this proposed meas- < re. But why not say that the Unit- ! d States should have a theater in- J | pection service which is nation wide? ' md even if it had such a service, !! rhy consider that any theater failure alls for government funds for sur- ? ivors? We have an Interstate Com- ! lerce Commission with an accident investigation department, but we on't pay damages to relatives of ailroad disaster victims. We have a teamboat inspection sen-ice, but no elative of the General Slocum vicims received aid from the treasury. J The United States is not an insur- ? nee company. It pays pensions, 4 ightly, to its own sen-ants; it aids, ightly, its own soldiers and sailors; >ut that it should relieve distress of j be relatives ot tne victims 01 non- j :overnmental tragedies is hardly a j efendable proposal. > J o 1 Ninety pairs of Famous Buster ?

Despite the wide publicity that has already been giver the subject of grade crossing accidents since June 1st, the date on which this campaign was inaugurated, quite a number of fatalities have occurred. In one case alcne six human lives were snuffed out, simply because the driver failed to Stop, Look and Listen before attempting to cross the tracks. A motor vehicle in the hands of a careful driver is an agency for safety. It can be driven up close to the railway track and stopped in per feet safety?differing from horseJrawn vehicles in this respect. But if an improper person is at the wheel, iriving a car is more dangerous than making dynamite. Recently an automobile driver tried to beat a railroad train to a crossing. The result was a wrecked train, i smashed up automobile and a number of people killed. And until safe:y becomes the uppermost thought in the minds of persons driving cars, to improvement in the situation can ye expected. Nobody can read the daily accounts of fatal accidents at crossings, without being impressed with the fact that in a very large ma iority of cases, the means of preven;ion lies in reach of the person at ;he steering wheel.
