SPOT CASH AT THE PRIMARIES

The official reports of expense ac-
counts in the primary election can.
vass show that many of the candi-
dates senatorial, gubernatorial, con-
gressional, legislative and otherwise,
either voluntarily distributed largesse
on highly liberal scale or were bled
deeply and profusely.
Political strikers, petty fat-friers,
promoters of publicity and other spe-
cies of workers" appear to have been

least the nominal heads, of the Pro-
gressive outfit in Pennsylvania were
engaged in providing for thrifty little
boodlers who were hired to praise
them as "men of the hour"
The uniform primary system does
not seem thus far to have diminished
the amount of money which Is required
in political campaigning, but on the
contrary, has increased 1t. Moreover.
If the expense accounts of the spring
election or trial heat are so heavy,
what are they going to be when the
final heat is run at the autumn elec-
ton?

WHY NOT ORGANIZE?
(New York SUM

Why should not business men organ
lze opposition to the Presidents anti
trust program if they consider it dan
gerous or even if they merely dislike
it? Is the "new freedom" entirely n
onesided affair?
The President himself and large
and organized support are agitating
vigorously for this legislation. Cabinet
ofhcers, certain members of both
Houses of Congress, uplifters in and
out of office and sundry publication in
slst day in and day out on the benefi-
cence and the urgency of the drastic
regulation of business.
In the name of common sense and
fair play, why not combination of
business interests? What can be more
appropriate, more logical, more use
full? Must business alone be silent and
supine when business interests are in
volved in legislation?
Why should not the President him
self pay close heed to this business
dissent from his plans? Why should
he threaten to stay all summer in
Washington to fight down business op-
position and force his program
through despite the hostility of the
business world? Does he mean it to
be understood that he is at war with
business and determined to crush it at
any cost?

VACATION
BY Wing Dinger

Gee, vacation time is here,
And most every day
Someone from the office starts
On his trip away.
I have been a thinkin' hard
Just where l will go
When 1 get my two weeks off,
In month or so.
WhenI go I'd like to take
The family with me,
But the trip to all must be
Satisfactory.
What is puzzling is that one
Doesn't like the shore,
And to mention mountain trip
Makes another sore.
Then I thought of boat trip,
But we'd frightened be
All the time we were aboard
OF wreck at sea.
I have searched the guides all through
Trying hard to find
A resort that would please all,
But there aint that kind.
I'll admit the question is
Too much for my dome,
So l guess we all will spend
My two weeks at home.

n KILLIONS of dollars worth of
N paper money of a new type will
AVA be put into circulation upon
the establishment of the Fed
eral Reserve banks within the next
few weeks. In this respect it is inter-
esting to note that the new ten-dollar
bill will bear on it's face a picture of
Cleveland and on the back manu-
featuring scene. This was doubtless
done for the same reason that Buffalo
is called Buffalo although there are no
ouffaloes there. To some who made
regular trips to the souphouses and to
countless others who searched in vain
for work or saw their fortunes swept
away during the memorable panic
when Cleveland was President and the
free trade flag was flying at the ma
tion's masthead, this close relation of
Cleveland and busy factories will look
like grim attempt at humor on the
part of the designer of the bill.
For the sake of harmony in the art
of the new series, we suggest for the
$40 bill the face of President Wilson

AN OHIO VIEW OF THE PINCHoTs

(From the Cincinnati Times-Star)
1t is obvious that Amos Pincho's
confidential" letter on Perkins was
not given to the press with any in
tentions of making things easier for
the colonel. At the bottom of things
the Pinchots are as will das the little
group of I. w. w. agitators who have
been making things lively in New York
these past few months. They take
themselves very seriously, exaggerate
their own Importance in politics and
are sure in the long run to bring more
trouble than benefit to any cause they
become associated with.

VI the report that General Villa

had a break, there is every
reason to believe that the apparent
harmony between the two is only on
the surface. Villa has been winning
all the victories. Carranza has been
little more than a name in the activi-
ties that are sweeping the rebel hosts
toward the Mexican capital. Villa is
an adventurer, a self-seeker and am
bilious. He is an ex-bandit, and "to
the victor belongs the spoils'' is natur-
ally part of his philosophy of life. 1t
is self-evident that it goes hard with
him to bow the knee to Carranza.
Villa is the real leader and he awaits
only a favorable opportunity to DEM

to supplant Carranza as actual head

r YNDER the New Freedom" of
the Wilson dynasty 1t is not
~ proper for the American citizen

simply wait the pleasure of the Wisdom
now enthroned at Washington. If he
be a business man his experience and
judgment must be set aside while the
theories of an administration which
seems determined to wreck the busi-
ness of the country are permitted to
roll on.
Pennsylvania is to be the chosen
field for the exploitation of these re-
markable policies. Have we not heard
that Palmer and Mccormick are the
accepted vessels of the infallible doc
trinaire of the White House? Has he
not indicated that these two young

incarnated Wisdom of the dynasty
erected upon the mistaken theory that
the people can be fooled all the time.
A few months ago we were told that
a lobby existed at Washington to over
turn the policies which were being
framed by the Congress for the well
fare of the country, but this lobby"

the industry and commerce of the
country in order to test his theories
