BEWARE

Tn these days when money is much easier to get than in the days that many can remem- Der, the "get rich quick" plan is a favorite temptation held alluringly before the public. The Treasury Department has recently issued bulletin deal ing with this pernicious evil. The really wise person who cannot afford to take a chance finds in the War Savings stamp an investment just to his liking He may invest as little as $5. or he may invest up to .$1,0O0 and the little baby bond is safe guarded just as much as the .$1,000 bond, drawing four per cent compounded quarterly and is absolutely safe.

Charges of fraud and unlawful expenditure
OF large sums of money in connection with the nom
nation and election of Truman Newberry as
United States senator from the state will be laid
before the grand jury soon to be convened at
Grand Rapids, according to an announcement
made by Attorney General Palmer. The attorney
general has assigned to this case Frank c. DALEY,
OF indianapolis, who prosecuted the Terre Haute
and indianapolis election fraud cases.
Newberry, in the primaries last year defeated
Henry Ford for the republican nomination for the
senatorship. The democratic nomination was,
however, won by Mr. Ford but the returns indi-
Gated that he was beaten by Newberry in the fall
elections.
MIR. Palmer said that before and after the
primary election complaints were filed with the de-
Partnent OF justice and also charges of fraud and
corruption were made by the lieutenant governor
and others. Mr. Palmer also said that Frank c.
Daley had been assigned to the case because he
has had the largest experience in prosecuting elec

THE WAY IT WORKED OVER THERE.

British labor is searching the political seas for
a course that will carry it back to public favor.
Realizing that the railway workers starve-
em-out strike not only proved most unpopular,
but placed the quieus on direct action methods for
some time, labor now is taking the public sounding
to find new channel
And the miners federation believes it has
found it in the high cost of living problem. There
fore it has adopted a slogan of Fifty Per Cent Re
duction In Living Costs Within Three Months the
idea being conveyed that without this reduction
there will be trouble for the government.
The cost of living problem, miners leaders say
has become as vital to workers hours and
wages and has the additional virtue of appeal
to all classes. So the federation has called for a
special trade union congress to formulate detailed
scheme for handling the living problem and this
will be forced upon the government, if necessary,
it has been stated.
Frank Hodges declaring that living costs soar
despite the governments antiprohteer tribunals,
said that this scheme is unsuccessful. Hence we
must see whether the workers are able to provide
solution. If it is only temporary, of course,
we are bound to look at the problem through the
workingmans spectacles because it vitality affects
our lives.
He suggested that taxes on excess profit.
should go toward reducing the high cost of living
instead of toward reducing the national debt The
government, he charged, encouraged excess profits
in order to get big receipts for the exchequer, but
meantime workers are compelled to put up SO mil
lion pounds on the necessities of life The govern
ment. he concluded, is the biggest prohteer by re
eaeing its surplus of war stores through capital
stic channels and keeping up the prices, instead o
doing its utmost to reduce them

What Other Editors Say
A BLOW TO A FREE INSTITUTION.

New Orleans democrats are endangering one
of the high privileges of American politics, if they
only knew it. Just because the headquarters of
one of the candidates for governor in the coming
state primary made the statement that he would
carry New Orleans the friends of another candi-
date have put up $4,000 and invited the other
side, by public advertisement to put $4,000
against it and which candidate carries the city.
We protest that this sort of thing is calculated
to take all the JOY out of political prophecy Here
tofore every American citizen irrespective of his
knowledge of candidates issues, has felt free to
declare and call the world to witness, what the out
come of an election certain to be. 1t has not
been deemed necessary that he should have any
reasons or probabilities to support his claim He
is an American and there is to be an election, and
that's enough. When he raises his hand to the
skies and announces that his candidate is going to
bury the other candidate so deep he never will be
dug out, it is recognized as an exercise of right
guaranteed to him by the constitution, or some
thing If the other candidate has friend present
it his right to dash his hat on the ground and de-
clare that his will carry the other mans home
precinct by at least four to one.
j We should dislike to see these rights invaded
because they amcng the most sacred we pos
sess. Yet nothing is certain than if free
= American has to put up 1000 every time he
makes such statement those rights are going the
way of the torchlight parade. If every man has got
to know what he is talking about there is going
to be big falling off in conversation around cleo
ton time We hope the friends of the Louisiana
candidates will take down their money and conduct
their primary according our ancient and honored
institutions, which free, including talk.-Kan

RICH MAN. POOR MAN

One of the poorest in the world died in
England few days ago. His name was William
Waldorf Astor and he was peer of the realm,
with millions of money, but no friends
One of the richest men in the world passed
in Tampa Fla, few days ago. He was not a
titled person, he did not have millions of money.
But he did have a circle of devoted friends His
name Edward R. Gunby, and his home was in
Atlanta.
The life of the one man was span of dis
content despite his vast wealth; so unhappy was
he, that he forsook his native land in his earv
manhood and sought empty honors in another
clime-which he was able to purchase but not
mould to his purpose. The life of the other was
one of sweet serenity, far from the maddenine
crowd quietly wishing to love a little merely and
live by the way
The name of one was known throughout the
world-known coldly and not venerated Or es-
teemed. The name of the other was known to
relatively few, but respected warmly and loved bv

other modesty circumstanced, but possessed
