COUNTERFEIT DOLLAR
IS IN CIRCULATION.

Bank officers and bank cashiers all
over the United States are watching
eagerly TO detect dangerous cOun-
terfeit 81 bill which showers of the
queer are said TO be flooding the
country with and which has been the
subject of special notice sent out by
the government secret service to all
banks. The bill is said to be SO
cleyerly executed as TO fool some OF
the sharpest bank tellers in the
United States Many of the bills were
said to have gone through the banks
of New York, Chicago and St. Louis
While the opinion has been ex-
pressed by Chief Flynn of the New
York branch of the secret service that
the counterfeiters initiated their
work in or near New York, yet he
gave it as a possibility that the bills
were being foated all over the coun-
try without being discovered. A
warning has. for that reason, been
sent out over the country to banks
and to business people who are apt
to be taken in by the crooks.
To a trained eye the bill. it is
said, shows. on close scrutiny, a gray
ness Of color, especially in the geo.
metric lathe work surrounding the
mineral on the upper left hand face.
Another feature which the trained
eye would detect is that the frag-
ments Of silk thread which are scat
tered in two bands running longitude,
nally through genuine money, about
equisdistant between the center and
the side edges, are not woven In the
paper. The paper from which gov
eminent money Is printed Is manu.
featured by q secret process. and the
silk threads make part of Its fibre.
For this reason loose ends may al.
ways be discovered sticking out of
the surface on either side. The coun.
forfeit has the silk threads. but they
do not come out.
The best clue for \ layman in de-
tecting the new counterfeit Is to look
at the small vignette Of Lincoln at
the left-hand side of the lower cen.
ter and compare 1t with an undoubt-
ed genuine bill. Lincoln's lower lip
10 a trihe too large and too light in
color. In the face of Grant the fine
work has also coarsened, and on care.
full scrutiny 1t will be seen that the
rich tone Of the shadow on the folds
Of the bag held In the eagles talons
have been married by a series OF white
hair lines introduced by the counter
feiter to tighten the color. The shad-
'wy Capitol building behind the eagle
IS somewhat light. 1t requires mag
nifying glass and an expert eye to de-
tect the faults in the geometric lathe
patterns anywhere on the bill.

BORAH At WEisER SPEAKS TC
A BIG AUDIENCE

The largest audience that has at
tended any political meeting Of this
campaign heard Senator 'Borah speak
here tonight. The senator read from
an editorial that asked him where he
stood on certain issues, and he said
he would be glad to tell anyone where
he stood.
He enumerated the different things
he had stood for In the senate. He
read from President Taft's letter Of
acceptance OF the Republican nomi.
nation and showed that he was
sponsor for what the president de-
clared were the four most important
bills passed by congress during this
administration.
He took fling at Hawley. In
reply to the governors statement
that Senator Borah could not claim
great deal Of credit for securing
loans for the farmers from the re-
clamation service, the senator replied
that II the farmers were given much
more Of Governor Hawley's taxation
system they would need not only
loans but donations from the govern
ment.
The senator said that he did not
bolt at the Chicago convention be-
cause he believed he could do more
good for the people in the senate II
he remained within the Republican
ranks than II he affiliated with the
Progressive party.
Senator Borah was introduced by
/. #. Smith. the Republican county
chairman. When the curtain rose
large pictures OF Taft and Sherman
were seen on the stage, and they
we're enthusiastically applauded--

VETO
ON PRIMARIES

The last session of the legislature
passed an amendment to the direct
primary law. That amendment was
"a vital item in determining the
right of the elector and placed him In
consistent line with his own party
action, in other words the intent OF
that amendment was to SO clear
the direct primary law that 1t would
make it impossible for partisans OF
any particular party to participate
in the primary OF any other party.
Its intent was to define Republi-
can, Democrat, Socialist or any
other partyite, and had 1t gone
through, as passed by the legisla-
ture, much of the trouble that was
occasioned during the primary cam
paign would have been avoided.
Since the direct primary became a
law it has been a we'll established
fact that partyites Of various faiths
participated Unfortunately in the
primaries. Several marked instances
were brought out during the last
primary campaign, when, because Of
local conditions, Republicans were
herded into the Democratic primaries
and vice versa. Had that amend
ment become a law this condition
would have been impossible for the
reason that the amendment required
specifically that the voter should
state his politics upon entering the
booth.
That would have defined the vot-
er's position and made it impossible
for him to affiliate with the primaries
of any other party.
That amendment did not become
a law for the reason that it was
vetoed by Governor Hawley. Haw-
ley's position on the matter in not
exactly clear, but his operation is as
clear as day. We will 60 back to
the last campaign. Hawley open
ly encouraged the defeat OF the real
intent Of the people on direct pri-
mary. Hawley's attitude on the mat
ter really constitutes the worst
crime. and his veto Of the bill con-
firms the idea that he desires un.
lawful participation in primaries by
partyites of any description. or any
