An off nse to Political Deoency.
(From the Escanaba Journal }

(From the Escanaba Journal
1t is time for the public attention to
be drawn to situation in state politics
which is rapidly becoming not only an
offense against public and polite de-
cency, but is in violation of the spirit,
If not the letter, of the state law to
safe guard the purity of our election.
We have reference to the Newberry
senatorial campaigo. 1t is being made
q money campaign which outclasses the
money barrel companies of twenty al d
thirty years ago, and If the campaign is
to continue unchallenged 1t will create
condition which must inevitably
mean the debauchery of Michigan pol
itics.
This comment Is not prompted by
any feeling of unfriendliness to the
Newberry campaign. but rather by Sin
cere concern for Michigans welfare.
For the past quarter century the best
men OF the state have labored to purify
our political system. and it was thought
that the primary election laws had been
so carefully framed that we should
never again have the disgrace Of
money. barrel campaign. The way in
which the Newberry campaign is being
conducted shows that either there is q
loophole in the law, or else the law is
being set at naught.
The Charlotte Republican is moved
to comment on the same subject, as
follows:
The Newberry organization has
seemingly dismissed all semblsnce of
ethics and common sense in hiding the
fact theirs is q simon pure and simple
money campaign. They 90 into
county, perfect an organization with a
complete set of officers including a
treasurer just as IL the p bile would
believe there are any contributing mem.
bers except Mr.. Newberry of New York.
Ingham county was organized the other
night at big banquet with the same
idiotic procedure. Instead Of suppress
ing their extrsvagant use Of money to
put Mr.. New berry across, his managers
seem to go on the theory Mr.. Newberry
has the money and lie perfectly willing
to spend II regardless of the war time
financial strain that makes a lavish
political campaign seem so much out of
harmony with the present day war
spirit"

CHECKING THE BREWERS.

The federal fuel administrator has thrown the
brewers of the country into panic
Mr.. Garfield states that in view of the present
coal transportation and other shortages, and un-
til the prospect of larger service is assured bre-
weries will not be able to count upon supply of
coal beyond that needed to utilize the materials
in the process of manufacture, including malt
already manufactured.
This is merely another step in the program of
curtailment of nonwar industries begun several
months ago. and is necessary in order that coal
may be Immediately delivered to war industries
and to sections of the country remote from the
mines.
The brewers have quite successfully combat
ted every attempt to cut down their quota of
supplies and seemed confident that they would
continue operations Indefinitely Mr. Garfield
however, believes the available coal may well be
put to more necessary uses and if the order pre-
vails as it quite probably WILL the brewers will
find themselves threatened with suspension

The revolver which the police have
confiscated, at least for the present,

was contained therein. The allegation
was made yesterday that the revolver

COOPERATION NEEDED

The Washington Times wants to know why
potatoes are selling at S1.75 peck in Washing
ton while hundreds of thousands of bushels are
rotting in Florida because the growers cannot
find profitable market
The answer is easy-our national marketing
policy is archaic tbs fauty-insufficient
The government maintains a marketing
bureau the several states do the same, but the
service has not been developed to point of
practical efficiency
Last year our farmers were urged to plant
Irish potatoes in large quantities Many of
them did so-and about the time their seed
in the ground they learned of vast hold-over
crops in the North. Resut-bumper crops and
no market for the Florida product. With labor
costs high, some farmers decided not to dig
their potatoes. Those who did ship their tubers
were lucky to get back cost of seed and labor.
There simply seemed to be market
But there was market-right in Washing
ton where, according to the Times, potatoes are
selling at sits peck.
Strange, isn't it? Though farmers have ex-
perienced the same before-wi continue
to experience it until national distributing and
market system is worked OFT.
The task is big one, but with the govern
ment in control of the railroads it isn't impos-
sible With full cooperation between the food
administration and the department of agricul-
ture there will be few instances of potatoes rot
ting in the ground in Florida while the market
price at the nations capital is $1.75 peck.

The collections for the preceding year were

nearly s2o0.ooo0o0 the estimates made when
the war revenue measures were passed by Con-
gress last year.
Four thousand persons were employed in the
work and the total cost of the collection was
only S12,00O,OO0. The patriotism reused by the
contributed largely to the success of the
work, and the taxpayers assisted and co-operated
with the Government.
A determined effort will be made to bring to
book tax evaders in every part of the country.
The Treasury already has evidence against
large number who have sought to evade taxes,
and by checking up contracts and with other
data the Government expects finally to discover
and punish many tax evaders, well recover
large amounts of revenue illegally withheld.

The military failures of this war clearly have not been due to civilian interference" Need we then dread ci- william interference?
 All across the alliance the evidence of MT. Lloyd Georges rallying influ- ence is to be seen.
 For America, better than any oth- CT man, he represents our Democracy. For Russia, also. For France, he is the man who tells the truth. The French Press is loud in his praises.
 For Italy, he is the man who came to the rescue. And he is. the Prime Minister of Europe.
 It is incredible to me, as it will be unthinkable to the public, that medic crity should stand against this man that his work should be named inter i fering." If it does, MT. Lloyd George can and must deny it. But he must rule it. He must get it under.
 The public here in Scotland under stand the position. They want some one to lead us to victory, and in. MT. Lloyd George they see and recognize the man who can do it.
 Under such inspiration as the Prime Minister continually gives them, they are willing to go on sacrificing. But for the rest, it is not so much great CT sacrifices from the people that are needed as better leaders for them-not so much giving, as better use made of what is given.

 Another one of the gang of alleged swindlers Joseph Gordon, is also in jail as being an accomplice, while the New Haven authorities are holding Abe Vecta, as being one of the gold brick artists.

DISHONESTY IN BUSINESS IS A DANGEROUS GAME

The manager of a public service corporation in a moment of intimate conversation, was telling how he had to influence a certain city council to get necessary franchises. He found it absolutely necessary to buy the more purchaseable members. Other- wise, he said, the corporation would be ruined.
 It could not get any kind of a deal from that council unless it paid for it, He felt that his first duty was to the stockholders of the corporation. So he protected them, at the expense of the moral law, greatly as he regretted to have to use such means.
 Was he justified?
 Similarly the head of a large con- tracting firm said he was constantly in receipt of handsome gifts from supply houses, who wanted him to favor their goods in his contracts with cities and other corporations. The way would have been easy for him to amass millions. But he al ways returned these gifts. At last accounts he was prospering highly. Perhaps dishonesty is not as neces- sary in the business world as the first mau quoted seemed to think. Business men may seem to win a point temporarily by yielding to low 1 standards. But they are sowing the wind, and will reap the whirIwind later. One of the principal causes | of labor unrest is the belief shared | by so many workingmen, that capital 1 ists are getting rich by these dishon- 1 est means. Some men think they are justified | in doing anything that seems neces- sary for business success. That is the same spirit that animates the rulers of Germany, who will break all agreements provided they see an ad- vantage to be gained. It is a dan gerous game to play, for both men and nations If we wish to reconcile capital and labor and unify our indus trial life, we must all lay our cards down on the table and play the game 1 square.
