CORRUPT PRACTICES.

The Rev. o. j. Krale was the non partisan league
candidate against Andrew j. Volstead, author of the
prohibition act for the republican nomination for
congress in the Seventh district of Minnesota. Mr..
-syolstead defeated by his opponent.
~ Minnesota has Corrupt Practices Act. 1t for
bids candidates to lie about each other. The pen
atty is removal from the ticket.
Fifty voters signed a petition in court charging
the Rev. Krale with violating this act by issuing
an eeventh-hour circular charging Voistead with
being an atheist, opposed to the Bible and sneer-
ing at religion
The court found that Krale was the author and
that the charge was untrue. He found further,
that in a Christian community such charge was
fatal to candidate. Therefore the Reverend Cen
tleman was guilty.
Z The result has been his removal from the ticket
and the placing of Volsteads thereon as the
candidate having the next highest number of votes.
" That religious convictions entered into this
does not especially interest at the moment That
lying did enter into the campaign and that its in
dulgence cost the liar his ambitions to go to
,gress is what interests

Political ThoughrIets.


The Albuquerque Morning Jour
nal in an editorial Of the 10th in
stant has come out as a supporter
of the direct primary system Of
nomination laws. It's editorial
mailing the announcement Is a
humdinger, for il does not mince
matters at all, but strikes from the
editorial shoulder good and strong.
Good for you, Journal. Now let
the uatrammelled and unkept
press, of the state, what little there
is of il, also help out, and we will
soon force public opinion into q
demand for the primary system,
that cannot be resisted. The Jour
nal advocates it without limitation
as TO district and county offices,
but wonders if it would be just the
thing as to statewide offices, such
as governors, secretary of state,
u. s. senator's, congressman, etc.
Well. Mr.. Journal, you may not
care for my advise, but as l may
have given considerable attention
to the subject, let me tell yous that
if YOU are for the primary system,
then you mus be for il as whole
in its widest application, even to
the extent of electing central com.
mitteemen, presidential electors
and delegates to national conven-
tions under it. To advocate only
partial application of it is like adj
yocating the observance of only
seven or so of the ten commano-
ments. or like advocating light
wines and beers" under prohibition.
So. Mr.. Journal, you should go the
whole hog, because it is right.
Every advocate of a direct primary
in the state is your friend from
now on. In a short time now our
people will look at the primaries
with proper vision, and will wonder
why we have been kept so long
without such n law. The filing of
netitions for nominations for nom
nations for any office VIII be
fact having news value, so the
will have to give the
matter publicity. Voters will soon
see the importance of signing
petition for a candidate, and thus
agreeing to support such candidate
and will refuse to sign, II they 90
not consider the applicant proper
nerson for the office. Moreover,
when they see who are the candl-
dates. they may hasten to secure
q petition for a better candidate,
and thus give the voters chahce

PREPARING FOR THE WIN
TIERS ENTERTAINING.

This week l have received a very
interesting letter from prlde
reader, who writes as follows:
you invited your readers to
write to you, telling of their dis
coveries and shortcuts in house
hold matters, so that other women
readers might benefit by them.
Well, | want you to tell my sister
housekeepers through your column
lyon may publish this letter If you

summer and which l am putting
into effect again this summer. Ny
husband and / like to do as much
entertaining as his small salary viii
allow, but we never could have had
such success as we had last winter
If | had not thought of the scheme
of making pretty and unusual table
decorations, favors, and place cards
all last summer while sitting ON my
front porch in odd moments.
II began by making favors for a
Halloween party we had planned
to give in October. You know how
the weeks slip by, and ] was afraid
I would never be able to make
pretty table decorations for the
party if ] let 1t all go till october.
SO | started last July by buying
some orange crepe paper and cut
ting out pumpkins, cats and witches
for favors, place cards, etc, and
doing a little pasting whenever |
had a few minutes to sit on my
porch. I kept the materials in a
small box under n pillow in our
swing hammock and of course took
care not to let any of our friends
see the work--for I did not want
people to know just how the table
would look before they came to
the party.
"And when I had finished my
Halloween decorations | began to
think about decorating the Thanks
giving dinner table eve were to
have a. number of relatives and
friends with us for the feasO. In
a little while I found myself tracing
pictures of turkey from II child's
book and making little standing
cards of them, to place at intervals
ali over the table MY next step
was to make n horn of plenty out
Of stiff paper, to be filled with real
fruit on tDt idDics NN'll W.
streamers of crepe paper in adj
vance. which would run from be-
meath the center piece to each per-
sons plate.
And, of course, Christmas dec
orations came next. These were
the most interesting of all to make.
The place cards were in The shape
of chimneys with. a snowy Santa

a bag; / painted these of egg-shell
uaper, putting standards CT stiff
cardboard on the backs. But

saturday, Julf 81, 1920.

Astrologers readi this as a most
unfortunate day since all the plan
cts in powerful sway are adverse.
Mars, Neptune, Venus and Uranus
are in evil place.
Under this rule what is most i'm
portant is likely to be thwarted, the
seers declare.
The contemplation of the weak
nesses of humanity, especially those
manifested in individuals, is likely
to have a bad effect upon the pub
lie mind making for pessimism
and discomfort.
Labor has the forecast of great
benefits through some fortuitous
circumstance.
Astrologers read for the autumn
a better outlook so far as peaceful
conditions are concerned They
foretell big furry in Wall street
and warn the people to be cautious
in all financial affairs.
A division between women that
separates them into two distinct
types will be apparent as the next
few years pass, the seers declare
The economically independent and
those who are not will be widely
apart and idleness will be dis
grace.
Washington, D. c., is subject 10
forces making 1t n center of the
finer things of life as well as the
capital of the nation.
Chicago will have an autumn in
which many events of Importance
to the west take place, but the most
remarkable happening will be quite
unforeseen.
Soothsayer will be more than
usually popular at this season and
one whose prophesies appear to
come true will gain much fame.
Persons whose birth date it is
will have a year of rather surpris-
ing experiences that may be turned
TO great advantage.
Children born on this day are
likely to have great energy and to
be capable of attaining great sue
cess in life. These subjects of Leo
have a strong body and
commanding presence.

tests upon the real facts. How decent men can be
willing to mislead the public with lies is beyond
comprehension.
Political lying is just plain lying and political
liars are just plain liars. The man who will tolerate
political falsehoods in order to win, is whitening his
own manhood and his sense of decency.
Again we say the public is entitled to protection
against being msled by campaign lies. The good
of the public service and the rights of the people
both demand such protection.
A statutory penalty is very wholesome de-
teuent There will be less political lying in Min
nesota hereafter. Politicians will have rapid re-
birth as little George Washingtons,
If New Mexico had such a law would there be
anyone feft on the ticket when the courts had
finished?

AMERICAS HOPE GROWS BY HEARTHsToNE.

From who knows, man who 'sits in the sea
of the mighty if temporary office is considered
and who may yet be the head of the greatest ant
20 best government ever made by free people
comes this:
We shall search in vain. in legislative halls,
executive mansions and the chamber of the
judiciary for the greatness of the government
of our country. We shall behold there hut
reflection, not n reality; successful in proper
ton to accuracy. In free republic great
government is the product Of great people.
The destiny the greatness of America lies
around the hearthstone. If thrift and industry
IN are taught there and the example of self
sacrifice oft appears, if honor abide there, and
su high ideals if there the huilding of fortune
!, be subordinate to the building of character,
America will live in security, rejoicing in an
abundant prosperity and good government at
sr home and in peace, respect and confidence
abroad If these virtues be absent, there is
no power that supply these blessings
Look well then to the hearthstone. Therein
L all hope for America lies.
The above the utterance from an American
at whom none cavils. Calvin Coolidge not talk
ing merely as candidate, to the origin of great
ness of his country. Nor is his view here printed
merely because he is party nominee
The purpose is but impress the father and
mother in the home The principles that shall keep
America from slipping. and shall lead to a
greater and better nation and world, to result
from righteousness and probity developed under
I the parental roof. The youth who learns the right
( at home will usually not depart from 1t later 1t
will be the right thinking boys and girls of one
generation who aid in making America better and
in turn inspire their children to take up the
torch and lead The building of character is done
in the home. If not done conscientously there dan
gerous drifting without anchor will result Fixed
virtues and principles in the young insure nation
of honor and of advancement only great and
good people can maintain good and great govern-
ment, advancing and enduring in proportion to the

Winning by toll what JOY of life I can.
