Show IfJthe PUBLIC EYE' Brookhart's Campaign Costs $453.98 Hi C - V Col. Smith W. Brookhart, who won the Republican primary In Iowa for the nomination for senator to fill Kenyon's seat, expended $4f3.98, ac-cording to his official statement. lie says: "I received meals and lodging from farmers and laboring people many times, and was driven on auto-mobile trips several times without ex-pense. Individuals, farm organiza-tions, lab'or organizations and news-papers supporting me did so at their own expense. Malls were furnished without cost." The result was a surprise. The onlooker from a distance puts It thus: Here's Brookbart, without an organization, running against a field of five rivals. He Is opposed by th stand-pats- , the machine leaders, the Cummins leaders, by Secretary of Ag-riculture Wallace, who was Instru-mental In trotting out as an eleventh-hou-r candidate Clifford Thome, a railroad rate authority popular with the farmers. In short, the organized elements In the party were lined up almost solidly against Brookhart, and the aim was to keep him frbra landing 85 per cent of the vote, which would throw the nomination Into a state convention, where the colonel might be massacred. v Despite all this Brookhart carried 76 of the 09 counties, and ran second In all the rest but two. He got more than 40 per cent of the vote, and had a plurality of more than 80,000 over his nearest competitor, Thome.'

INDEPENDENCE DAY Tuesday last we celebrated the one hundred and forty sixth an-niversary of America's Declara-tion of Independence. We cele-brated it as a national holiday and in a manner far different to our forefathers. In the old days some went buggy riding today we have automobiles, in the old days many were lamed by fireworks, but thanks to the good judgement of City and State officials although fire-works were bootlegged some at Salt Lake and other cities there was practically no very great harm done; as compared to for-mer years. Independence day commemorates one of the great-est events in the history of human progress. Think of the long suffering patience of the poor colonists, of their honor-able resolve not to submit to unjustice and opposition. Re-member the band of men who met together to sign the De-claration of Independence, and what sinking of hearts and con-flicts of spirits and doubts as to the future many of them must have felt. The youth of this land falls heir to treasures" for which it has not labored. With many sufferings were these treasures purchased. Our fathers subdued kingdom, wrought freedom, escaped the arrows of Savages, turned to flight the armies of enemies, planted grain, cornect., reared schoolhouses, built churches, founded colleges and universities. They explored rivers, forests, and opened up the treasures of the mines in this and other states, being destitute, afflicted and torment-ed for the love of liberty. In one of his latest speeches Gladstone listed the United States among the growing nations would in-crease because its progress was worthy of emulation. Its influ-ence will increase if the Ameri-can people will understand what National Independence means, . and avoid extremes in any direc-tion. The real America, the truly great America lies in the future. : If we have ceased to grow that is a foretoken of our decline. We have moral battles that must never cease. The justice of our courts must not be a mockery. Lowell says that "the cause is strong which has not a multitude but one strong mail behind it." Our feet should be guided by the lamp of experience, failures of yesterday should make us mighty tomorrow and where America has been in the past, she can be doubly great in the future. REAL BACKBONE OF NATION Small Town of Infinitely More Impor-tanc- e Than the Crowded and Fre-quently Thoughtless Cities. More and more the Importance of the small town In the great systems of government and civilization Is being realized. President Harding merely gave fitting voice to this realization when he referred to the small town as the "one everlasting anchorage." It Is this, and more a great balance wheel that Is forever In motion to keep the social and other pendulums of na-tional life from swinging too far In extreme directions. National salvation sometimes Is to be found In "small-tow- n Ideas," which are not always progressive, but which are conceived In second thoughts and blessed, Indeed, Is that nation whose people are moved to action only after second thoughts have established themselves 1 The small town thinks before It acts. Sometimes this is not true of the city, where contributing factors to serious consideration are more complicated, more bound up In the Jaurrylng movement of life,- - No nation is greater than Its average small town. Florida Metropolis. Kindergarten Training in the Schools Mrs. Henry Phlpps, vice president of the National Kindergarten associa-tion, Is an earnest believer In catching the child young and In the strength of early Impressions. She has sent this message to the parents of young children : Being a mother and grandmother as well as the vice president of the National Kindergarten association, I would like to Impress upon parents the great Importance of providing the best possible training for their chil-dren during the early years of child-hood. "At no other time can right habits of thought and action be formed with so little effort, and with such lasting results. "All children are entitled to the advantage of kindergarten training be-fore they enter the grades. If yours are not receiving It, write to the Na-tional Kindergarten association. 8 West Fortieth street, New York city, to ask what you can do about having s kindergarten established In your public school." Utilities Irurs Trees. The tree growth on the streets of the average American town or city Is ragged and unkempt In appearance, while that of the suburb or small vil-lage often Is not much better unless the planting has been done under mu-nicipal control, and the plantings on a street have been confined t'o a single kind of tree. The telegraph, the tele-phone, the electric light and the trolley car have added their share toward the mutilation or destruction of the good trees that were Is existence at the ".Ime of their coming. Faulty methods of pruning have Caused disfigurement and ruin. "Suc-cess follows the careful planting of good trees which are given adequate protection and timely attention," says Farmers' Bulletin 1209, "Planting and Care of Street Trees," Just issued by the United States Department of Ag-riculture. "Every tree should be trained to its proper form while young, so that severe pruning will not be nec-essary later. "To the mutilation of severe pruning has been added the destruction of many trees in centers of business be-cause they excluded a llt light, or made the store less prominent, or were somewhat In the way of using the side-walk Tor uicicfcur.dise."
