Why Not Have Decent CampaIgn?

says that it's favorite candidate Seems
to be a very decent sort of plain cfti-

charged with being a representative Of

be SO exceedingly sensitive lest he be-

cause they don't believe in sending bust

This is a foolish argument, commonly
made: In favor of the lax enforcement OF
law against saloonkeepers and gamblers

who desire the best of standard music,
SignDr Liberati has made most Of his

series Of selections which, while far
from the "ragtime'' class, are suf-

discriminating.
In addition to the announced pro-

The Lincoln. Car.

To the Editor Of The Journal.
A few days ago I called attention to
the use that was being made Of the fun
eral car of Abraham Lincoln. The same
day, sent to Thomas Lowry note ex-
pressing to him personally my views Of
the matter. Mr.. Lowry Immediately
called me up and commended my action
and ideas. He told me that he had the
greatest respect for the great man; that
Mr.. Lincoln had been a personal friend
of his father; that he had some relics
that he deemed priceless; that he looked
upon the career Of Lincoln as statesman
as a kindly light leading us, shining on
our pathway until we are the great re-
public and nation that we are today. He
said that his only thought In buying the
car was to save it from destruction, and
that now he was DESTROYS of caring for it
until some way was devised by which 1t
could be properly located, and he stopped
the use thereof for. any other purpose.
I have since seen a suggestion that the
Pioneers association provide for the care
Of this car. It strikes me that it would
be fit and proper for the Pioneers of Min.
nesota to take UP this matter, and In
connection with Mr. Lowry, prepare d
place for this car which carried the re
mains Of the greatest pioneer Of all from
the scene, Of his great labor and glory
to their last resting place. think
owe it to Mr.. Lowry to ask you to pub
lish this. IS. M. Finch.

by the Steel corporation, IN Indiana,
would; be financed by an issue Of $$I75,-
600, in! bonds were the time pro-
ipsiittious; but With conditions as they
are such an issue would necessarily
carry a. high rate Of interest, putting q

company Is building the plant as q

Conservatism has marked the pro-
ceedings of the financial heads Of the
most prosperous companies. There was
prosperity and profitable business, but
the operating expenses were larger, and
the future uncertain. Today, with big
crops assured, there Is little uncertainty
and the larger profits are being dis.
tributed. This is probably the fore
runner of other increased dividend an.
nouncements that will come from rail
roads, industrial, banking and trust and
commercial corporations.
