CAPITAL BROTHERS MAKE BAD RECORD

Washington, August 30.-(SpeciaL) ) Washington figuratively bears crepe on account of the astounding evidence of mans inhumanity to man unveiled, o1- fically, this week It has been demon strated by fact and figure and heart rending narrative that Washington profiteers in the apartment and room letting game stopped at ncthing--the misery of war, the pitiabie plight of gray hair, death and disease, the terror of frigid weather--in order to gain their pound of flesh.
 The objects of the cruelty of Wash ington profiteers were war workers who came to Washington in response to urgent appeal of the government young girls. as rule( unused to deal- ing with heartless landlords, resortins to technicalities of law to frighten and abuse; and widows who had given sons to the cause of their country and the

SAYS REPUBLICANS
 ARE MAKING MISTAKE

Washington, August 3O-(Special.)-ln opposing the league of nations the repuo- licans are playing into the hands of the democrats, according to Thomas Taggart of Indiana former United States senator.
 Senator Taggart, while visiting Wash ington, talked very plainly to newspaper men regarding this subject. He said;
 ''The republicans in the Senate ale making a great mistake in opposing the league of nations. Fully 75 per cent on the people of Indiana favor the league, and I believe the same will hold good of the people of the country at large. The people want peace officially de- clared, for they are anxious that business should be permitted to return to the nor nal peace basis. They know that as long as the treaty is unratified business con- dtions-as well as social, industrial and economic-will be in an unsettled state.
 "Tvhe best thing that the republicans could do would be to ratify the treaty without more ado. That would be the best for them and the country. For the democratic party however. that course pursued by republicans would be the very greatest misfortune.
 While Senator Taggart was reticent when asked to speak of probable candi- dates for the democratic nomination, il is believed that he prefers w G. Me Adoo, former secretary of the treasury to all others. Like everybody else, he knows the President may have the nomi- nation if he desires it.
 Senator Taggart declared the people o1 Indiana heartily in sympathy with Sen ator Harry $.

JOSEPHUS DANIELS BOOM
 RECEIVED WITH SMILES

Washington, August 30.-(Speclal) Nothing has caused more interest in Washington in many months than the hurting by Josephus Daniels of his hat into the presidential ring. This incident was reported by cable from the Hawaiian islands.
 The secretary of the navy was received with all the pomp that attends the ar rival of potentates. While the cable was to the effect that MT. Daniels received the flattering attention as if he had ex- pected it. from privates sources it is re- ported that the secretary was surprised, and more or less embarrassed.
 It is true as the cable reported, that the secretary informed the dignitaries of the island that the candidacy of any man was "up to the people" It is not positively established, however. that when asked regarding his own candidacy he made similar reply: That, too, is in the hands of the populace.' It is not seriously believed in Wash ington that the secretary is a candidate It is believed, on the other hand, that he is aware of the fact that his success during the war has not entirely effacec his unpopularity prior to the war. 1 But the Hawaiian incident has caused great glee among the republicans who | hail the name of the secretary as the Presidents choice for his successor, and l the democrats. aware of republican jubi- 1 lation, are not able entirely to suppress l their smiles.

Attention Investors!

The issue of our stock is lim- tied. If you want to share our profits you must act quickly. Over half our stock issue has been sold and, we are proud to say, almost entirely to our friends and the local public.
 While we are just beginning development, it will only be a few weeks until we are down to average depth and oil. When oil is reached whatever of our stock remains unsold will be taken off the market and can not be bought for any price. We will, however, continue its sale until all stock is taken or oil is reached.
 You can buy today at $2O.00 per share-fully paid and non- assessable. What it may cost you a little later depends upon the progress of development going on around our holdings. Already we have been forced to 100 per cen: above par (after only 6 few days on salel and even now this stock is worth mere than twice it's price.
