the Panama Pacific exposition is un-
dertaken. Neither does II hold brief

Woodward Clum, It's secretary, who
handled the funds. In fact. the Jour

such an inquiry be made by the gen.
eral assembly. The people Of the state

was legitimately expended those who
spent IL cannot protest against the
facts being established and presented
to the people. II 1t was not properly
expended the taxpayers should know
Il and those who 5misused the funds

state. There have been ugly rumors
OF improper use OF some Of the money.
The people do not know whether they
are true or false. They have right
TO know, and the legislature is the
only legal body which can conduct an
investigation and determine the truth.

suddenly awakened by the awful loud
noise Of Father Offers snoring. He
turned over and over in vain to sleep.
SO at last he decided TO go out and
get a fresh breath Of air. So he tip
toed out the front hall 90 softly that
no one was awakened. And Dick sat
down on the front steps. close to the
water and a whippoorwill was singing
a love song. And Dick was SO happy
that he also began to sing. But Dicks

BY LEE PAPE
ROOFS.

foof >.
Roofs are wat billings are put I'M
der. The diffrents between a roof and
celler is the rest of the house.
People don't appreciate how useful
their roof is till a cyclone or sumthing
blows it off. and then they open their
umbrellas in the house and say. Ny
goodniss, weve had the roof all these
yeers and never realized il.
Roofs are used principally TO keep
out the watttir and keep UP the ap-
peerances. No one ever notices d
house with a roof on, but as soon as
they see one without a roof they make
ali sorts OF remarks about it. Proving
you are never missed till you are gone.
No matter how high up you go in a
house. you can always go higher till
you come to the roof, the advantage
being that no one ever wunts to go
eny higher than that anyway. The
highest roofs are on the highest houses.
but no matter how high your roof II.
the view is no better unless the other
roofs GROUND are lower.
Some people live all their life with
out ever going up on their roof, some
because they are afraid it mite make
them dizzy. and others because they
haven't the ambition. People that fall
off Of roofs hardly ever get over It.
Roofs are genrelly painted red.

Episrams Of lenine.

Either Nicolai Lenine is being helped
out by fable, or he has the tendency
toward epigram that has marked many
other rulers. When people began to
speak of revolution in Germany. he
said: This is February, not October;
Kerensky, not Lanine" Also: II made
the revolution in Russia with German
money. l will make the revolution in
Germany with Russian money" The
watchword, "all power to the soviets,"
is also SUPPOSED TO he his. Certainly
it was in one Of his signed statements
that he declared: we are not afraid
Of our mistakes" A different quality
from any Of these. because primarily
amusing, is this: In hundred who
are called bolsheviki, there are one
