CHEAP POLITICS

Washington, d. G. Dec. The Repub-
lican Publicity Association, through
it's President, Hon. Jonathan A..
Bourne, Jr., today gave out the fol-
lowing statement from its Washing
ton Headquarters:
"The general public may realize
that the proceedings in the Truman
H. Newberry case are, to say the least,
unusual. The remarkable part of the
whole affair is the fact that the case
is brought by the Federal government.
The rule heretofore has been for the
contestants to fight the matter out
and then for the Senate committee to
base its findings in an investigation of
it's own. But in Senator Newberry's
case the Senate investigation will wait
until the case is decided in court.
either a decided attempt has been
made to conceal the fact that the same
charge was made against Ford that
was made against Newberry, or else
that fact has been forgotten. New
erless such is the case and while the
federal agents are working night and
day against Newberry they have paid
no attention whatever to the charges
against Ford. The charge in both of
the cases was expending more money
than the federal statutes permits.
"The suggestion which naturally ar
Uses is this: a new form of political
corruption where the party in power
with the massive machinery of govern
ment at beck and call turns that power
and wealth against an enemy and at
the same time ignores all charges
against friend, although the friend
is in the same boat. It will be remem-
bered that Henry Ford's candidacy
was announced at the request of the
President Wilson and everything with
in power was done by the administra-
tion to elect the Detroit manufacturer.
While Ford has been an advocate of
pacifism and while he talked against
the war and while his son was exemp-
ted from Service. Truman H. Newber-
ry was serving his country in it's hour
of need and his two sons were in the
thick of the fight.
"The defeat of Ford was undoubt-
ably severe blow to Mr.. Wilson and
great disappointment to his follow
ers 1t meant the control of the Sen
ate. In order apparently to wreak
vengeance, disappointed administra-
ton now attempts to use the Federal
government to bring about the desir-
ed results. The people can demand
justice, and justice will be demanded.
If one must be tried, let both confess
tants be tried.
LET us have the story of the Ford
machine and the millions spent for
his election. Let US have the story of
the influence brought to bear from
the White House and every other
source of the Federal government. If
there is to be fight on the issue let
it be fair and in the OPEN"

MICHIGAN GRAINS WIN.
HONORS AT BIG SHOW
Majority of Rye and Wheat Prizes
Brought Back to State From In
ternatiOnal Exhibit

East Lansing, Dec. 10, = Eight
out of the sixteen prizes awarded for
samples of rye, more than half of
all the premiums given out in the
class for wheat, and high awards for
other crop exhibits, are among the
notable victories scored by Michigan
farmers at he Internationl Grain and
Hay Show, which closed it's week of
display on Dec. 6, at Chicago.
In their class for wheat (soft red
winter) Michigan growers competed
against the entire United States and
Canada, such famous wheat states as
Kansas and the Dakotas being includ-
ed. In spite of the high class of COM
petition met, state farmers came off
with flying colors, as their total of
more than half the prizes indicate.
There was but one elias for rye, in
GLIDING entries from all the states and
Canada, but Michigan men succeeded
in pulling down 8 of the 16 prizes off
cred.
Another feature of the exhibit which
is regarded as triumph for Michigan
farming interests is the fact that Ros-
en- Rye and Red Rock Wheat, varities
developed and introduced by the Mich
igan Agricultural College, stood head
and shoulders over any thing else at
the show. Rosen Rye took first, Sec
ond, fourth and fifth places among it's
total of nine awards out of the. pos
slble sixteen, while no other variety
of rye entered succeeded in cornering
the prizes to any extent at all.
The same was true of wheat. Red
Rock took the first three places in its
class, along with many other awards,
and was easily the outstanding wheat
OF the show. Although first place was
lost to Michigan in the entries John
Dunbar, Of Rudyard won second hon
ors), local growers take consolation in
the fact that the Ohio man who carried
off the ribbon did it with a Michigan
product-Red Rock.

ENGINEERS CHECK
MOVING MOUNTAIN

When an entire mountain becomes
dissatisfied with its location and starts
to slide, it means trouble for whatever
happens to be in the way. Anyone who
has noticed how even small slide
sweeps everything before it, appre-
ciates the force in a moving mass of
earth. When a slide includes a noun
tain, instead of simply loose portion
of its surface, the movement may be
said to be irresistible. If stopped at
all, 1t must be attacked by engineering
strategy, for no force will prevail
against it.

ed many of the newspapers over the
country to advance their subscrip-
ton rate and those who have not ad-
yanced have Just been hanging on
thinking that decline in the price
would surely come but instead we
are confronted with still another ad-
vance with no encouragement as to
when conditions change for the bet
ter. Many of the large daily papers
have been forced to cut down the
size of their paper besides advancing
the subscription rate. The news print
used in this office at the present
time costs just three times what it
did in 1914 1t is not only news print
that has taken a jump in price, but
all other stock. The condition is real
ly alarming in as much as the sup
ply of all white paper seems to be
decreasing all the time and lit may
