their man had had himself trans
ferred to the engineering corps of
the 309th.
From Washington he was sent to
Camp Sheridan at Chillicothe, O., then
to Camp Mills, next to the port of
EN- barkation at Hoboken, with his
pursuers always too many jumps be-
hind to reach him. The sleuths
reached Hoboken only to learn that
he had sailed for France with his
regiment.
He reached the trenches in France
about a month before the armistice
was signed. Since that time District
Attorney Swami, through his assist
ant. Mr. Pecora, has been in touch
with the federal authorities in re-
gard to having Lustgarten brought
back to this CITY. 1t was said yes
terday that he will probably reach

His wife, who was Frustrated for

widow of the philanthropist has been

Before disappearing Lustgarten
made a written confession that he
had misused the funds Of the Tax

DONE WITH GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.

Chairman Hurley. of the United
States shipping board, has had enough
OF government ownership of ships and
advises that the emergency fleet OF
merchant ships built at war time ex-
pense be sold at market prices to a
private corporation.
we want the initiative and skill OF
American ship operators, tut we want
no watered stock said Mr.. Hurley.
we want 10 avoid the stagnation that
sometimes comes from red tape and
bureaucracy, but we want no profit
eering or exploiting,
I'VE want the new flee: used for the
benefit of the people OF the United
States and not against their larger in
terests. We want 1t used for the de-
yelopment of the nations commerce,
not merely for the development OF the
private fortunes OF ship operators.
Upon the development OF our for
eign commerce will depend in large
measure, the prosperity of all the Am
erican people, the employment and
happiness OF labor and the respect OF
the nations which compete with US"
Mr.. Hurley announced fiat opposi-
ton TO government ownership and gov
eminent operation, the former, which
would entail permanent establishment
Of government operating force with
branch offices and agencies in every
port of the world.
The chief argument in favor of pri-
vate ownership and operation, he said,
is that a successful merchant marine
depends not so much on ships, or
money. or government aid, as it does on
the existence OF a large class of alert,
resourcefuI and energetic men engaged
in the shipping business. The man
who enters the shipping business en-
tiers a battle against the wits OF the
world. He must have a genius for
shipping. Fortunately the men now
engaged in the shipping business in
the United States are of that charac-
ter. But there are not enough Of them.
We need more. And II is clear that
the number Of men can be greatly in
creased only under conditions of pri-
vate initiative.

that when he crosses Murmuring Brook
he'u tumble into that deep pool, and

THE ARMY AND POLITICS,
mason City Globe -Gazette.l

Mason CITY tTlOUt-NaHeN'S'l
After the civil war the returnins
soldiers were a great political force lor
many years, in both north ana souIh.
They constituted the most powerful OF
any organized group in the country
and few politicians dared defy them.
A large part Of the prominent states
men were soldiers. It was hard to peat
A man with a good war record at the
polls.
-Four million soldiers are now re-
turning to civil life. They will come
back with soldier ideals, with a COM
mon experience, and disposed to some
extent =, act as unit in public AFFAIRS.
Experienced politicians expect them 10
be a great force, and are trying 10
forecast what their influence will be.
For one thing The soldiers are golns
to be strong on efficiency and dls-
cipline. They have learned what grand
things can be accomplished by system
and organization and scientific ability.
These qualities have not counted
as high in home politics as they
should. The best taiker is usually the
one who wins at the polls. He may
have no business head or organizing
ability. But Il he can make an eloquent
and plausible speech, he is pretty sure
to get by. Meanwhile the quiet man o.
achievement in business, of capacity
for scientific organization and expert
efficiency. does not usually fare well at
the polls because he can not express
himself voluhly enough
The soldiers will feel keenly the lack
Of efficiency. In some cases they SUI
fered from it very seriously and they
will be very hostile to 1T in civil life.
They are not going to be content
while mere takers get into power. 1t
is a safe prediction that they will con-
stitute a force for action and expert
ability rather than for talk. Let the
politicians think about this

IOWA CAN AFFORD GOOD ROADS.
(Greater Iowa Magazine)
If you have friends visiting In Call
fornia this winter thew have undoubt-
eddy mentioned the splendid roads out
there which make auto travel, whether
for business or pleasure, an unending
Joy. 1t sets them thinking. They be-
gin to wonder IL California Is so much
richer than Iowa and other states or
the middle west to be able to afford
such excellent roads. Let's see.
The United States department or
agriculture estimated the total value
Of farm crops in California last year
at 1866, 100000. Iowa crops for the
same period were values at $821,0 0O,-
900. California live stock the first OF
the present year were estimated to be
worth s221, 679, 900. Iowa live stock the
same date was valued at $744,352,OOO.
Iowa leads all other states in number
and value of poultry. The annual
Iowa egg crop is worth more money
than the California orange crop. Iowa
stands third in the list OF dairy states,
with California away down the line.
We might carry tho comparison far
Their but it sounds like Dragging. 1t
is not meant that way. The point we
want to make is that Iowa can afford
just as good roads as any other state.
There is one little matter wherein
we cheerfully agree that California
a
that is in the number Of people coming
from Iowa. 1t has got 50 out there
that they no longer ask a man what
state he came from. simply what
county, assuming that he hailed from
Iowa. And more money has gone from
Iowa than from any other state to
help build those fine California roads.
Think it over.

THAT PARDON EVIDENCE.

The Harding pardon probe is almost
finished at Das Moines and as predict
ed in the T--R- some dust has been
kicked up in the eyes of the public
by abusing the lawyer for the state
who upset the pardon which the gov
ernor had granted to man who had
committed rape.
Attorney general Havner has been
censured in the testimony because he
advised the grand jury to withdraw
indictments which they might have re-
turned against Rathbun relatives and
their lawyer. Havner was bent upon
winning his case against the pardon
and traded off any opportunity he
might have had against others to
overthrow the governors mysterious
pardon. Havner has not been heard
but his only defense can be that he
vas dealing with a bad gang and had
to let somebody off in order to over
throw the pardon and obtain the con-
fession of the Rathbuns that they paid
$4,000 to get it.
The Rathbu1s, however. have stuck
TO their attorney to be used, as they
allege they were told, for a bribe
to the governor for a pardon.
The attorney admits receiving the
money but protects the governor by
claiming that he kept it for himself.
The governor admitted that he granted
a pardon without much of any invest
igation to a man whom he now knows
was guilty and that he did so without
submitting the case to the state board
Of parole. thing he had never done
before in a pardon case,
The evidence shows that he met

| which lawyer had received money from
