this is consistent with Demo
cratic practices. Following tho elec
tion of a Itepubllcan administration
there began a systematic destruction
of records in various departments In
.order to conceal wasto and criminal
ity which had been practiced dur
ing eight years of Democratic rule.
IThls "was dono In order to handicap
tno uoparcmont or Justice In its
prosecution of criminals and to han-
llcap ana embarrass various admin
istrative agencies of tho government
after tho Republicans came into
control.
During tho prosecution of the war
iilio Itepubllcan minority In both
branches of Congress did not throw
a straw In tho way of the Dcmo-
i-rattc administration under whose
illrection tho war was being prose-

It is quite r.s essential to iccov-
cr from tho effects of a war as It
Is to prosecute tho war. It is qulto
is patriotic to assist In this work
f reconstruction as it Is to assist
11 the woik of waging armed con-
I'ct. Almost any country and any
.ipla can wago a war. Tho test of
11 nation and a people Is their ability
o recover irom tno abnormal condl-
ions of war. In this process of re-
ovory the Democratic party as a
arty and Us leaders In Congress
ave plnjed tho part of a dog-ln-tho-
.anger. They have opposed all ro-
onstrucllve measures proposed by
ho Republican administration but
ac offered nothlnir In their nlnen.
U Tholr party left the wreckage

tearing away of tho wreckage
10 tno contrary. Democratic lead-
rs in both branches of Congress
ave done their utmost to movent

Thoy hao done their utmost to

They have done all of this In the

Intend to contlnuo this policy of de-

ARRESTS FOR TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS
After next Monday December 11
1922 the Town Board has instructed
tho marshal to arrest every person
violating speed or Unfile regulations in
Beaver whether they be from town or
country and every person who may
observe violations of tho regulations
arc asked to report the name of driver
or license number of car to the mar-
shal. The speed and traffic regulations arc
no different from those in other towns
and which every person should be fa-
miliar with before driving an automo-
bile. Tho speed limit is 12 miles per hour
on Douglas avenue between the rail-
road and the llaptist church or on any
street crossing Douglas avenue within
these limits when within one block of
the avenue. Outside these limits 20
miles per hour is permitted.
Cars must keep on the right hand
side of the streets and in making left
turns mast so beyond center 'of inter-
secting street before turning. In
making right hand turns must not go
beyond center of intersecting street.
Between the railroad nd Baptist
church on Douglas avenue cars must
be parked in center of street not less
than 25 feet from either curb. Theg
may atop next curb to load or unload
or obtain gaB or oil. Outside these
limits cars must be parked next the
curb and paraiel thereto but not with-
in twenty feet of any fire plug or
street corner.
Persons driving a car at night with
unllghtcd headlights will be fined the
limit. If your headlights arenotwork-
ing cither repair them or keep oft the
streets
Thoro is no unreasonable regulation
of motor traffic in Beaver and all good
people arc asked to help in a Btrict en-
forcement of them. 12-7 It
AT THE TOP
Whenever you see someone at tlio top
Don't Imagine he got there by luck
For buck of his glory lies many it story
Of buttle nnd struggle nnd pluck;
Ho may seem to. be taking things easy todny
And dodging tho trinls tlint Irk
But tho years of his past from the lirst to tho last
Were a constant succession of work.
Whenever you see someone crowned by success
Don't fancy he wou it by chance;
Though lie's walking toda5 on an easier way
And you cannot behold at a glance
The scars of his battle just keep this in mind
Life's laurols don't go to the shirk
And if you but knew his lifo ljistory through
You'd know that he once had to work.
Success does n't cotno to thciindolont hand
With busy men life is concorned;
Bo tho man who he may he will ilnd on tho way
That its prizes all have to be earned.
So whenever you gazo on a leader of men
Up on top whore the glory is fair
You ;an know with his luck there was courage and pluck
You can bet that ho worked to get there.

Nobody seems to he worrying about

They are not hero yet.
The Frankfort Dally Index Frank-
fort! Kansas Dec. 2 1922 Last
night occurred tho second number
of the Lecture Course. Miss Willis
read "Turn to tho night" and to
say tho least that ono can It was
one of tho best programs ever put
on In Frankfort. Her characteriza
tions were exact and ono saw
tho whole play enacted thtro. MJss
Willis' power of expressfon is su
preme. From pathos to laughter!
she carried her auditors who sat
entranced through her wholo pro-
gram. It Is no wonder that Miss Will1:)
has hud so many return dates In
tho various townB In which she
has been. We can certainly sav
we wish Bho were to be hero again
and very soon. Such entertainments
as she gives are raro and aro
appreciated wlien they do come.
E. C. PECK1IAM INJURED
Saturday morning about lliOOo'ciock
Ld Peckham was crossing th street
between Jeff's Place and the Postoffice
when a car coming from the north on
Douglas avenue driven by Miss Grace
Brown turned the corner Eoing west.
struck him knocking him down and
dragging him about thirty feet. His
condition was considered very serious
by attenking physicians. A surgeon
Dr. Huddleston of Liberal Kansas
was called Sunday night and Mr. Peck-
ham was removed Monday to the hos-
pital at Liberal where an X-Ray dis
closed four ribs broken on the right
side and one on the left. Latett re-
ports are to the effect that he is Im-
proving and that those attending him
feel that his recovery is assured.
In the presence of a throng of Ma-
sons who filled tho lodgo room of
Alexandria-Washington Lodge No. 22
of Alexandria Va. the worshipful
master and officers of George Washing-
ton Lodge No. 9 of St Iouis con-
ferred the Master Mason's degree up
on a member of tholr lodge. Thirty
members of George Washington Lodgo
cumo to Alexandria for tho purpose
and were tho guests of tho Alexan
drians for a day after which they re-
turned home.
Tho world needs sentiment. Living
as we do n life of hard practical real
ity with the daily chase for the dally
meal the outstanding need of us all
wo need those institutions which cher-
ish and preserve sentiment.
And here is sentiment at its purest
and best. When thirty men tako a
long journey for the sake of a revered
name; when a lodgo in St Louis will
travel to Alexandria because thenamo
of their lodgo is George Washington
and George Washington the man was
master of Washington-Alexandria
Lodge they have moved spiritually a
far greater distance than actually in
the flesh. It is a fair example of the
powe;' of tho Masonic Order overmen's
hearts; it is because masonry has kept
alive tho sentiment and tho beauty of
an idea rather than of a practical
reality that it has lived and grown and
thrived.
The Masonic Order is not eleemosy
nary in character though it practices
charity it is no mutual benefit organ
ization although it is mutually bene-
ficial to its members; it is not a Ilfcns-
suranco organization: it offers little if
any material practical assets to its
membership. That it is of the great-
est use to its members and a high in-
fluence for good in all communities
where Freemasons are (a foct which
can not well be disputed) comes from
Its hold upon the hearts and minds of
men; as in this instance of its power to
make men take a long journey in rev-
erenpe and lovo for tho traditions which
cluster about tho First President of
tho Union.

The more you think about the future
and about opportunity and about success
the more enthusiastic you become about be-
ing a money saver.
It would be as sensible to say that two
and two make five as to say that one can go
right on spending money heedlessly and ex-
pect opportunity to halt before him.
It doesn't require higher mathamatics
to figure out; where your present course is
leading you.
If you have mastered the art of saving
you can forecast with reasonable accuracy
how much of a factor you will be in the great
days of opportunity which are drawing near.
