It goes without saying that I cannot overlook you for I consider your speech with its assult on those who are and have been so actively op posed to any effort to limit immigra tion to have been one of the strongest statements in our behalf. “I intended to write you in hopes that a letter from me might make yo'ur campaign easier.

OLD ESTABLISH ED D R A Y LIN E SOLD TO F R E D N E W M A N N The old-established dray linfe,’ which was conducted by E. G. Archibald foy several years and lately sold to Theo. ■ Kind, was sold last Saturday After noon to Fred Newmann, who' took charge «Ionday morning and will con tinue to serve thé public with the same service that has made the rep utation of this old dray line. ‘ Mr. Newmann will do all kinds of draying, including coal and gravel hauling and he has- Oscar Kind em ployed to handle part of the work.

Rear Admiral Rogers predicts that America -mbst prepare for a war of aggression, that when our population reaches the 200,000,000 mark, we shall be compelled to seize from na tions too weak to defend their pos sessions, whatever territory 'we may n)eed for our future ^ s e and comfort. He adds that human nature does not change thru time, and that he sees no other lesson to be drawn from history. , So far as history is con cerned the Admiral is unquestionally correct, but it is contrary to the teachings of this nation which has been for ‘‘military training for home dedefense” There was a time when men habitually took from their weak er neighbors whatever they needed or desired, and held it so long as they could defend their title by brute strength. But times have changed mightly since the World War armis- ilrp —and greater changes .-are in store. The Admiral, educated in the pro fession of war at the expense of the American taxpayers. runs true to form. That is his profession. If the taxpayers expended as much money annually in the education ot peace and brotherhood, as they do to equip men in the law of the jun gle. we might have dividends instead of debts. H. G.
