Get Off the Sucker List

Are you on the sucker list?
If you are it is probably because
you are not sucker but patriotic
citizen who has knwon the Liberty
Bond to be a good thing.
Get-rich-quick swindles have been
the great American sport for years
The sharpers who sell fake stocks
saw their game endangered Wien
Uncle Sam started his great Liberty
Loan campaigns.
But they are smart-these gentle
men who live by their wits.
Instead of complaining they jump
ed in and put themselves and all their
employees to work selling Liberty
Bonds.
And they kept lists of the Mares
of the people to whom the Liberty
Bonds were sold.
Now those lists, combined, make
what the sharks regard as the biggest
and best Sucker list" the gentry ever
had They are even dealing in them
buying and selling them among
themselves.
If you have a Liberty Bond or a
book of War Savings Stamps you are
a prospect" for fake stock. Your
name is on the sucker list of the oily,
tongued sharper.
You are not to blame for being on
the sucker list but it is up to you to
get off-away off-tfat list at your
first opportunity.
The American people are paying
out some Half a Billion Dollars a
year to the support of worthless
stock schemes. They reap therefrom
S50O.0O0,000 worth of-thin air.
That is not a guess. 1t is the fig
ure given by the Capital Issues Com
mittee of the U. S. Treasury. And,
the Committee assures us that it is
conservative.
Moreover, the Half Billion repre-
sents just the cold cash that is turn
ed in EVERY YEAR by otherwise
level-headed Americans seeking a
milk-and-honey path to quick wealth
by the green stock certificate route.
1t does not take into account the vast
economic loss incident to broken
fortunes, impaired effort of discour-
aged investors and to the diversion
from legitimate business enterprise
of new productive capital.

Flashes From The
Parish Seat

The road issue seems to have
been conclusively settled by the
police jury at its meeting Mon
day. There is general satisfac-
ton with and an acquiescence in
the ordinance passed by that
body.
The salient points are q bond
issue Of $55O,OO0.O0 which with
the State and Federal assistance
will raise slightly in excess Of the
$6O8, 100000, required to build 76
miles Of road at 100000 per
mile. The election will be held
April 10Th, 1919. The police ju-
~ will pay for or reimburse the
towns for the model roads
through each and will construct
the immediate adjacent roads to
and from each town, which
means from Morgan City %
Klingsville and up the Atchafa
lava or elsewhere, and from Ber-
wick to the Black. The prefer
ence in the starting of construc-
ton will be given to the lower
end Of the parish.
Not a discordant note has
arisen, and every one rejoices in
the fact that harmony seems to
be the one main thought Of all
the citizens Of the parish.

The high cost of living was not dis
cussed at the regular cabinet meet
ing, but Attorney General Palmer re-
NAMED after the meeting to confer
with the President and presented
memoranda prepared by the subcom-
mittee stating what the government
was doing and what it proposes doing
under existing laws and possible addi-
tional laws to cope with the situation.
The Department of Justice agents
throughout the country, the attorney
general said, have been ordered to in
stitute special investigations to find
evidence of boarding and profiteer-
ing as prohibited under the Lever food
control act and prosecutions will be
instituted without delay.
Attorney General Palmer declined
to disclose what remedial laws were
suggested to the President or to go
into detail as to how the department
would proceed under the existing
laws beyond saying that operating
under the Lever act did not mean the
function of the food administration
would be assumed by the Department
of Justice.

Saturday evening, Aug. 9, 1919, after
an illness covering very few days,
although he had been in failing health
tnr some time.
But few men in the state were
more highly revered in newspaper
circles than Mr.. Macdonald. He
served the Minnesota State Editorial
Association as president in 1904 AS
a citizen he was a leader in his COM
munity and in the As years residence
in the county he rendered splendid
service in the development of Old
Stearns.
In August 1862 a lad of 10 years, he
answered his country's call and serv-
ed with distinction during the balance
of the war. The recent world war
undoubtedly hastened the end of this
splendid American. He stood stead
fast and strong for 100 per cent
Americanism and worked early and
late carrying on the war activities as
a citizen and editor. His labors were
multiplied because several of the
younger men of the office were serv-
ing their country, but he bore his
additional burdens gladly.
He was a man of keen perception
and regardless of the financial conse-
quences in a business way his editor
ials were his honest convictions. His
was not a "kept press" and his ar
raignment of intriguers who were de-
trimental to his beloved country or to
the best interests of the farmers, was
merciless.
Colin F. Macdonald came from
sturdy Scotch stock, having been born
in Novia Scotia, Sept. %, 1S43. The
family came to Minnesota in 1856 and
his father was assistant surgeon of
the Second Minnesota cavalry during
the Civil war.
Mr.. Macdonald loved the G. A. r.
and had served as commander of the
Minnesota department and number
of times commander of his local pos!
at St. Cloud.
During the Cleveland administra-
ton he was receiver of public moneys
in the St. Cloud district. He served
his city as mayor for three terms.
Starting in 1876 he was elected as
state senator from Stearns county for
three successive terms. Although
active in many public affairs his great
love was for his newspaper, the ST.
Cloud Times which he developed from
a struggling weekly into one of the
foremost and Influential dailies of
the great northwest.
Mr.. Macdonald was buried from the
st. Cloud Catholic Cathedral Tuesday
afternoon and the large structure was
filled to overfowing with old friends.
kilograms of condolences have pour
ed into the stricken home and floral
tributes without number show in a
slight degree the love and esteem in
which this splendid American was
held.
Mr.. Macdonald had many warm
friends in Sauk Centre who join with
the Herald in extending sincere
sympathy in the death of great and
good man who has crossed that bourne
from which no traveller returns.-A.
