Labor in this country, tree from class consciousness assiduously cultivated In Europe, looks upon itself i not as a class apart, and wltu food reason. HE laboring man of today nuy make ol himself the business man of tomorrow, and the man ot great wealth day after tomorrow. Special lines in the United States are not solidified or petrified. It's a short step from a sewing machine to a Rolls Uoyce, from a set of tools to the bead office of a big controlling concern. Labor Day is welcome.

It's a holiday at exactly the right lime. But so tar as labor Is concerned, it doesn't mean mucb. 01T MII IEL TME OFFICIAL SLAIN i ifl 0 GIRL OPERATOR iS WOUNDED SHARE COST OF RAIL LINE IMPROVED AMARILLO HOTEL TO BE OPENED FORMALLY WITH ELABORATE PARTY SEPT. 25) WORD RECEIVED BY B.C.D.

pOLONEL MITCHELL, formerly brigadier general, lowered In rank because he dared tell the truth about aircraft conditions In the United Stadtes. has written a statement that will startle the country. His description of tbe farcical parade of baitleshlps In the Pacific and the ultra farcical announcement that our fleet bad conquered an enemy fleet and taken Honolulu will interest the president. MITCHELL writes fear- lessly, roughly and most unpleasantly for certain arm-chair gentlemen in Washington. Colonel Mitchell predicts that he will be put under military arrest lor this statement.

Those that know President Cool Idge, the millions of Americans thai believe in him, believe that instead of allowing Colonel Mitchell to be put under arrest, the president wil send for him and learn for hlmsel the basis of the statements tha Colonel Mitchell makes. -The president of the "Jnlted States is interested in the security of the United States, and In the men whose lives are alleged to bar been sacrificed to ignorance political advertising. OLONEL MITCHELL has alread been lowered in rank because he told the truth to the people an to congress. Any order to put him under ar rest for his recent statement woul certainly be submitted to the prea dent before going through. And It Is not conceivable that th president would permit that drast: suppression ot free speech.
