TAINTED POLITICS
BY Peter Radford.

This country is suffering more from
tainted politics than from any other
malady at the present time. There IS
scarcely a campaign speech made,
platform demand written or mea-
sure enacted into law that does not
carry the faint of personal gain of
some politician or political faction
thereof.
There is more blue sky" in cam
paign promises of many politicians
running for Office than was ever con-
tanned in the prospectuses of the bold
est promoters of chimerical business
schemes. There are more secret COM
binations formed by politicians in the
name of my Country" than were ever
formed under any and all other
aliases. There are more political re-
bates hidden in the phrase BE it en-
acted" than were ever concealed I'M
der any and all other DISCUSSES.
The inordinate thirst for political
power and unrestrained passion for
mastery has caused more distress in
this nation than the greed for gold,
and it ought to be regulated by law
No business combination ever pursued
their competitors as relentlessly or
visited more heartless cruelty upon
their customers than a political party
that seeks to make junk of an in
'dustry. or cripple business for party
success, through tariff measures, pO-
litical supervision and ofttimes de-
structive legislation. Many political
platforms are as alluring to the voter
as the story of the rainbow with its
pot of gold and their contamination
about as far-fetched. Self-gain is the
first law in politics. There are many
men in office today who, if they
could not shake plums off the tree OF
American liberty or cut melon taken
from Uncle Sans commissary, would
have less desire to serve the public
The country is surfeiting with patri-
OTIS, who will bare their breast to bull
lets in defense of their country, but
there are few men in public life who
will bare their breast to voters or run
the gauntlet of party disfavor in de-
Tense of agriculture or industry. No
representative of the people, who will
permit personal prejudice to dethrone
justice, party success to disfranchise
reason or the rancor of a political
campaign to influence judgment can
render capable service.
The preservation of our prosperity
depends upon wisdom, courage and
honesty in government, and the Amer
lean voter should seek these attri-
butes as implicitly as the Wise Men
followed the Star of Bethlehem and
they will often be found to rest over
the stable; the pillow or the staff OF
the Shepherd. The surest cure for
tainted politics and machine rule is
fresh air and sunshine and these i'm
portant elements are most abundant
upon the farm, and when farmers,
bankers and merchants are elected to
membership in legislative bodies, much
of the trouble in government will dis

ate any automobile, motor cycle or

the consent of the owner thereof shall,
upon conviction thereof, be punished
by imprisonment in the state prison
not more than five years, or by inn

When two cars meet along the
country roads where they are too mar
row for the cars to pass each other it
is urged that the following rules be OBJ
served: Two signals means for the
other car to come ahead, one signal
means TO stop until the other car
passes.
In going along the streets in town
the driver of the car should give a
signal $50 it. from each crossing.
In going around a sharp curve on
any road the driver should blow the
horn continually until past the curve.
These rules are given and published
in the hope of preventing accidents
and anyone violating any of the rules
will be prosecuted to the full extent
of the law.

People who find fault with the town
in which they make their living are of
the same stamp as those children who
find fault with their parents to whom
they owe their food, clothing and the
other good things of life. If people
will everlastingly complain of their
town and see no merits in it they
ought to be consistent, go to some
other town that is more in line with
their tastes. But such people would
complain even of that town, for the
simple reason that they are chronic
grumblers. The way to do with a town
in which one lives is not to run it down
at every chance that offers but to do
ones best to help it on by word and
deed.
