A CITY SHAM 60.

Milwaukee elected Berger again,
That II the Bergerites and slackers
and bolsheviks ~ad I. w. WIS OF that
district re- elected that convict to con-
sress.
There was considerable feeling in
business circles against Milwaukee
when Berger was first elected. Resent
ment took the form in some instances
Of refusal to buy Of Milwaukee whole
saiers and jobbers. milwaukee, bus
mess interests went to much expense
and trouble to assure the critical
newspapers and the angry customers
that Berger and the Bergerites did not
represent Milwaukee sentiment toward
the war and toward industry in war
or peace.
Now Milwaukee Bergar!tes have re-
peated the trick. Milwaukee is tarred
again with Bergerism. 1t will be hard
Ia make the former explanation that
Berger CHANGED TO get BY. This t'me
with full warning and complete IN
Outstanding Of case and conditions
Milwaukee has permitted the re-elec-
ton Of a man convicted Of interference
with the war and whom the congress
Of the United States elected
Naturally the disgust Of decent cit
izeuship Of the country will be turned
against Milwaukee,. Berser's SUCCESS
Is Nilwaukee's shame. 1t Is against
the good name and repute or that city
and tho city and its interests must
bear It and will probably suffer by H.
Berzers first election might be passed
over as a fuke. His reelection can
not be explained away.

almost every abuse known to rail-

cess: the granting OF cecret rebates;

The Dominion OF Canada has owned

for Atty years. and the Prince Inward

These two lines have i,73s miles OF
railway. The dominion has recently
built the National Transcontinental
railway, which has 2,0S7 miles, making
a total Of $500 miles of Canadian gov
eminent railway. The construction by
the dominion OF the National Trans
continental railway led to several scan
dals. This road was planned In 1901
and was estimated BY the finance com
| missioner to cost SSi.t1J.oo0 for the
1900 miles Of railroad provided for at
that time. A government commission
was created to build the road. On
Sept. 80. 1911, the expenditures had
reached 3los. 8oo, 900, and three years
later they reached 3i7S,00o.000. 1t was

bET1ER Be SAFE THAN SORRY,

Tho Iowa Bankers association sends
out a warning which 1t is well for
Iowans to head. 1t says:
In various parts OF Iowa 1t has been
found that little banks located in ad-
joining states have been sending small
ads to towns far remote from them,
soliciting money and promising to pay
per cent on It for one year or longer.
Good conservative bankers in small
towns do not solicit funds in that way
from adjoining states far distant from
the bank. It is unethical and people
whose Judgment can be respected in
these matters. are Of the opinion that
such foreign institutions are not in a
pposition TO spend lot Of money for
such advertising. nor to handle bust
ness in adjoining states, The people
OF this community, receiving such
communications should consult with
their local bankers before giving such
solicitations any consideration. Our
local banks are able to give their GUS
toners at all times safe Investments
at the highest market rates. No per-
son should take any chances on invest
ing in something of which he knows
nothing about and has little access to
investigate. Fore-waned is fore
armed. Consult your local bankers al
ways before making any Investments
at least on the solicitation from for
eign sources.
Whom you receive such letter on
impressive stationery the best thing
you can do--f you have the money
