NE of these Indispensable men
was Napoleon, who had just
smashed Prussia and Austria. The
other was Alexander I, the
youthful czar of Russia.
Alxeander THOUGHT he was
a great "liberal." One of Ills early
associates wrote of him: "He
would gladly have everyone free
provided that everyone was pre
pared to do EXACTLY WHAT
HE WISHED."
(There have been many 'liber

began.)
The other was Napoleon.

POLITICS AT
By Charles
THE day of the big fire at Canyonville, we were talking
to Bill Willis, the town's mayor. Bill had been out in the
hayfield when he received word of the blaze, and he rushed
in to help control the conflagration.
The mayor gave us some interesting statistics, but, being
engaged in rounding up fire news, we failed to make notes
at the time and have failed to remember all the details. The
gist of the matter was, however, that the municipality of
Canyonville went heavily into debt a few years ago to install
a city-owned water system. In the space of a comparatively
few years, the citizens of Canyonville have retired the
major portion of their bonds, have placed operating ex
penses on a cash basis and have only about $1,500 outstand
ing indebtedness.
That is a mighty fine record, and we can understand why
Mayor Bill's voice was filled
had been accomplished.
We can talk nil we please
international affairs, but when we get down to the real
fundamentals of government, here in these United Stales, it
i3 the towns like Canyonville. and Myrtle Creek, and Suther
lin, and Roseburg, and the thousands upon thousands of
other small, organized towns and villages where we find
democracy in its purest form. It is upon such a rock
foundation that our political structure is based. The roof
may leak, and there may be
the foundation is secure.
While Bill Willis was telling
ord, he was busily wiping
that had accumulated while
townsmen in combatting the blaze. Ho was dressed in
faded overalls and a shirt begrimed with dust from the
hayfield and soot from the fire. There was nothing to dis
tinguish him from many other men of the crowd. He wore
no frock coat nor tall hat. Ho held no badge of office. Yet
Mayor Bill and his fellow officers of the city of Canyonville,
like small-town officials, county courts and other officers
of municipal,, district and county administrative bodies
everywhere represent, in our opinion, the backbone of the
nation.
We are seeing the start of
most momentous presidential
our nation. In the election of a chief executive, we are per
forming a task, which in the minds of most people, is the
most important political responsibility we have. The presi

people can bestow upon any man, yet we must not forget

The biggest moment on earth to a fighting man is when he returns home. And
one of the things that makes him feci at home is the old familiar phrase...
Huit a"Coke" . With Coca-Cola, ice-cold, in your refrigerator, you can make any
fighting nun, including your own, feel he's back with his friends. From the

STOCKHOLM, July 19 (AP)
Arne Andersson, the flying
Swedish' school-teacher, ran a
world record mile of 4:01.6 yes
terday, an indication that the
much-discussed, but elusive four
minute mile is just around the
corner.
In clipping a full second off the
world standard of 4:02.6 that he
set a year ago July li Andersson
beat his more famous country
man, Gunder Haegg, by two me
ters. Haegg was timed in '4:02,
his fastest speed for the distance.
It was the fourth world record
that the Swedish runners have
broken within the last month. On
June 25 Haegg jset a new stan
dard -of 8:46.4 for the two-mile
and on July 7 sped' the 1,500-me-ters
in the record time of 3:43. A
few days later Andersson, who
used to be known as Haegg's
shadow because he always ran
second to Gunder, hung up a
mark of 2:56.6 for the three-quarters
mile, '
