Vacant Almshouses


Reports have been filed in the office
of the State Board of Charities and
Corrections showing the almshouses
in the following towns as closed,
namely:
Albion Town Farm-"The house is
unoccupied and the land rented"
China Town Farm-"There are no
inmates The farm land is leased. The
buildings are unoccupied"
Corinna Town Farm-"The farm is
leased, and the towns poor are not
cared for thereat. The lessee boards
them, should there be any. at his own
home for a specified price per week.
No one is being fully supported by the
town at the present time"
It costs more in some places to feed
tramps than it does in others. accord
ing to an item found in the report of
the town officers of Jay to the Chart
ties and Corrections department. That
town lodged and fed during 1915 4S
tramps and the total expense was $3.50,
or 20 cents each per night The usual
charge for the entertainment of the
travelling fraternity is about Is cents
but perhaps it should be mentioned
that the Jay report also states that
the tramps were fed on bread and
water only.

I cannot dismiss Mr.. Wilson's indict-
ment without paying my respects to a
government owned and operated mercan-
tile marine which he so much desires.
All business stands on three legs. No
business man stands on two legs. Capital
and labor alone and unaided never have
and never can accomplish anything. The
third and all essential leg is management.
Imagin If you will, each business enter
prise big or little, a three-legged stool.
Occasionally one topples over. Without
inquiry you know it is the leg manage
ment that buckles. The concern that
fails for want of capital. fails in fact be-
cause management tries to do too much
with its available" capital. One insur-
mountable obstacle to government owner
ship and government operation Of bust
ness propositions lies in the primary fact
that no Republic or community can sup
ply the third leg management. 1t is abb
solutely impossible to supply business
principles to government affairs. 1t
never has been done and never can be
done in a Republic. Under a strongly
centralized government like Germany.
where the public asks no questions and if
It should ask would get no reply, 1t is
somewhat different.
The Post Office Department is frequent
ly referred to as demonstration of what
the government can do in business way.
Those who thus speak do so ill-advisedly.
There is no business firm. corporation or
concern on the face Of the earth so ineffi-
GENTLY and extensively operated, or
whose losses are fraction of what the
Post Office Department suffers These
losses are not from dishonesty. Honesty
is the most common characteristic Of
man. The losses Of the Post ONCE De.

To the Public:-
 We have just finished stock talk ing, and find that we are heavily overstocked so are making enorm- ous reductions in Hardware-as much as 508o in certain lines. Not withstanding immense advances out side, especially in Hardware and Metal Goods, we are still selling on the basis of goods purchased the past two or three years.
 We will sell for cash only at these prices, and for a limited time, until we bring our stock down to the re- quirements of the Camp.
 If you have an order to be filled, let us figure on it; we can save you money. We have proved it % others, we can prove it to you.

 WILSON WINS INDIANA,

NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-Tom Tag gart told Chairman Mccormick of the democratic National Committee that President Wilson would carry Indiana by plurality of fifty thou sand. Taggart says that he will stake his political reputation on that.
 All papers are full to repletion of political forecasts from dozens of states.
 Hughes is having some trouble owing to the fact that Fairbanks and he are taking opposite views as to Wilson's Mexican policy. Fair banks in his speeches rather praises Wilson.

FAST AUTO RUN
Up TO YOSEMITE

One Of the fastest runs ever made
from Oakland to the Yosemite Valley
was recorded recently when Arthur
sPillsbnry, the photographer, driving
his Studebaker Six, travelled from the
Western Union office In Oakland to
Crane Flat in 5 hours and A minutes.
Pillsbnry was alone In his car. He
Achecked out from the Western Union
office at 8 o'clock Saturday morning.
and made excellent time oyer the
1bouleyards and mountain roads, aver
aging nearly 20 miles an hour for the
distance. Considering the grades and
the winding mountain roads which
made up large part of the trip, his
performance was truly q remarkable
one.
The gasoline average for the trip
was 1876 miles to the gallon, the dis;
lance being 173 miles. This is the
first record to be established In COM
petition for the Camp Curry trophy.
The roads were in excellent condi-
ton except between Croker and Tue.
lumne, and fast time was possible on
all the level stretches.
One OF the exciting features OF the
run was q meeting with d large
brown fear, and Pillsbury missed
running over him by the narrowest
margin.

the wheels to wabble. In any case

Charging that funds entrusted to its
care have been extravagantly and in
some cases illegally expended by the
management OF the Kentucky Chill
dren's Home Society, a suit filed in
the jefferson circuit court at Louis
vile by NJ. NJ. Logan, attorney gen.
eral of Kentucky, asks the removal of
the society's superintendent, George
l. Sehon, and the return of the funds
alleged to have been Illegally eXpend-
ed. The petition filed in connection
with the suit alleges that more than
fifty per cent of the public funds APP
propriated by the state for the main-
tenance of the society, over period
of years, has been expended in sal
aries. The salary of Supt. Sehon, it
is alleged, has been unduly large, and
the court is asked to force him to re-
turn to the society the difference be-
tween the salary he has drawn and
an amount which the court shall fix
as reasonable. Return Of fu d s
amounting to several thousand dollars
alleged to have been illegally eXpend-
ed by Supt Sehon in attending con-
ventionS, in entertaining visitors from
other states, and in attending sessions
of the kentucky general assembly is
also asked. Mr.. Sehon's defense
from similar charges heretofore was
that the institution is supported in
