a bad case when his children pity him.
None who have never been unemployed
know how that man felt when he found
the other man ahead Of him and on the
Job he had counted on and his thoughts
as he plodded his weary way across the
twenty miles that lay between him and
the home to which he was bringing the
news of fresh calamity. For to be PEN
niless and out of work and without
prospects is calamity, dire calamity.
The man as the next desk had a
story. One of the best farm hands IN
the township where his daughter lives,
found himself out of employment this
fall when the farm was sold. He sought
the country over for job and couldn't
find it. He raked the city and found
nothing and he is working for his board
on the farm of the daughter of the man
at the next desk. This is quoted as
corroborative evidence. Jobs are
scarce as hens teeth. The man with
a family can't work for his board He
must have wages and keep up the
home and hold the children together.
Pity him. God knows he needs it when
he's out of a job
Better than public charity is public

The best charity would be to make
work for the unemployed. Until we
do come to that righteous and econom-

do is to give such help as is needed.

WHAT The BUSINESS MAN SAID.

One of the oldest and most prominent
business men asked for publicity OF
some of his views this morning. His
text was Does Advertising Pay?' 1t
was the conclusion that it did. that
newspaper publicity and such stunts
as Christmas decora lions We're genu-
inely attractive and worth the money.
He approved of them. But" he Went
on, the merchant who spends his
money judiciously in newspaper ad-
ver.is;ng and pushed trade attractions
leaves ice on his side walk 10 trip the
women in narrow skirts or give the old
or careless a tumble. That's bad ad-
ver,ising. Ten minutes work ny one
OF the boys would clear that walk
That would be good advertising. worth
the money and then some
Then he went on: The county is re-
sponsible for the walks on and adjoin-
ing county property. II hasn't attend
ed TO it. The city hasn't cleaned the
intersections And every morning as
come UP town am hraced by one
man or half a dozen for the price of
a breakfast. 1t would be good adver-
Using for the city and good thing
for the unemployed if the county and
the city would set them az work"
The above is the business mans edi-
torial He wanted to say it. He is a
hustler himself, a man who gives
largely OF his time to public matters.

Grafton not only on account of the
standing Of the man in his community

LIQUORS. II prohibits "the sale. manu-
fxcturc or importation or expectation
for sale Of intoxicating liquors for
beverage purposes In the United
States and all territory subject to tho
jurisdiction thereof forever" Under
this amendment alcohol may be nanu-
featured and sold for other than bev-
erage purposes. Under 1t q man would
he permitted to manufacture for his
own use or to give away. 1t would
seem also that breweries and distil-
leries might be operated In co-oer-
alive way to furnish beverages Tor
their members. There has been some
criticism Of the Hobson amendment
for not going far enough. and more
probably will be heard as the debate
warns up The amendment would,
however. put the saloon out Of busi-
ness and destroy the organised liquor
industry.
The dry amendments chance Of
mastering a wo-thirds vote is believed
to be discounted considerably by the
fact that it tramples on the time
honored democratic doctrine OF state
rights. The last division on wet and
dry lines was over the Webb-Kenyon
bill after its veto by President Taft.
At that time the drys had no difficulty
securing the two thirds vote needed to
pass the bill over the veto. But in that
case the bill was one specially cater
ing to the right of the state to regu-
late the liquor traffic without fed
eral interference. It Is suspected that
many southern democrats who are for
prohibition as state policy may vote
against the Hobson amendment on
account Of its infringement OF state
rights.
The state rights question also Is
raised in the woman suffrage amend
is the Bristow- Mondell bill. straight
national suffrage measure. President
Wilson has declared his opposition to
1t on the ground that the question
should be settled by the states sew
orally. Adherence to the same prin-
ciple would place him in opposition to
the Hobson amendment.
Whatever may be the fate OF both
of these amendments. the attention
given them in Washington will make
effective advertising for use in the
various state campaigns. which are
the near future. One Of the most in
teresting of these will be waged In
Iowa.

CALLS FOR STATE SKUNK FARM
ICarroll Herald.1

The Harlan Republican in late Is
sue describes skunk farm in near
by section. and adds that the industry
OF raising skunks for their hides has
been found to be profitable. In this
connection we wish 10 raise point
against the proposed deer farm near
Avoca. The skunk is fur bearing
animal, generally harmless, Is easily
confined and makes a fine pet. The
deer is say deceivcr. has no respect
for the invention of man In the shape
of fences. and appeals more to the
fancy of sports than the smaller ami
NAL above mentioned. The skunk has
the means of defense that repels the
incursion of the pot hunter and the
prowler, Why not n skunk farm under
supervision of the state? 1t Is not at
all unlikely that there would he any
trouble in securing a joblcss politician
somewhere in the state for supervising
skunk culture on a Shelby county farm.
