THE ACCEPTANCE SPEECH—
AN EDITORIAL APPRAISAL
Lamps No. 2 complete, 25c each
at the Post Office Store.
Try a New Era Want Ad.
President Wilson's espwrh of
acceptance was comprehensive,
frank and direct.
It was the utterance of a man
and a political party conscious of
the honesty of past endeavors and
confident of ability to cope with
whatever problems the future might
have in store.
No President has ever been
called upon to face more serious
conditions than has Mr. Wilson. He
has met them with patience and de-
votion that have won the rcspect and
admiration of the world.
With -domestic legislation to di-
rect, giving the relief from eco-
nomic abuses that the country's wel-
fure demanded, with a long list of
promises to fulfill, the great war that
burst upon the world threatened to
check him in his efforts and to in-
volve the nation in the disasters that
are afflicting almost every nation of
the old world.
How he has brought the country
through it all, with honor and with
astounding prosperity, the accept-
ance speech succinctly and modestly
tells.
hi three and a half years the coun-
try has been set aright, every class
protected in its liberties and its op-
portunities, the whole commercial
system set in order, with prosperity
abounding. And reason lias never
abandoned^its throne in all of the
countrj^r perplexities.
The speech was a message to the
people of all the world; it was a
notice to the world that this country
is big enough to maintain its honor ■
and to keep out of war, and at the !
same tinie big enough to regulate its
domestic conditions.
1 he speech was no apology, no
defense, no complaint. It wn- a
speech that all men and women
should read to learn what the
country has really been doing.

evening with Miss Ezma Johnson.
Realizing our unfitness to cope with the problems ot LIFE with
our present small store of education, we have decided to take ad-
vantage of what we consider one of the greatest opportunities that
ever came our way. qf We have figured out, logically, we believe,
that by a little more effort and exertion on our part, and a little
more patience and helpfulness on the part of our patrons, that we
can manage to attend our splendid High School three-fourths of
each school day, and still continue the publication of our paper and
do whatever job printing that may come our way. This will make
r.ur office hours from seven till eight-thirty in the morning, and
from two-thirty till seven the evening, qf Of course, this will be
rather a heavy load on our shoulders, for a time, at least, until our
brother is sufficiently recovered from his seige of typhoid, to be of
some material assistance in the print shop. Therefore, we are ask-
ing our kind friends to get tlieii news items and copy for advertise-
ments into our shop as early in the week as possible, and get your
cony for job printing to us as far in advance as possible, so as to
give us more time. The subscription price will be a dsllar a year.
