Editor Courier Reporter:
AS per your account of the Stallard-
Thomas debate of which have noted,
it seems to me a queer fact that an in
dividual will so wantonly misrepre-
sent the facts as you have done in said
case.
The first statement was falsehood
because the chairs We're not all filled.
The second statement is falsehood,
that Mr.. Stallard is an organizer for
the nonpartisan league. Again, Mr..
Thomas said Mr.. Lesuer was connect
ed with Mr.. Townley's operations,
which was deliberate false state
ment, because Mr.. Lesuer was only
the consulting attorney for the league.
Again, nothing could be farther from
the truth than Mr.. Thomas statement
of the North Dakota taxes for Mr..
Emil Albrecht's tax statements for six
years shows that it has taken all the
years from 1914 to 1920 to raise his
taxes 100 per cent on five quarter
section in Rollette County, North
Dakota. Note again paragraph sew
en- where Mr.. Thomas tries to inject
the 1. w. w. and Britt Smith in the
debate is the next falsehood, as the
truth is this: That the nonpartisan
has filed on the farmer-labor ticket
and that Mr.. Bridges was chosen tenn
porarily on said ticket thirty days be-
fore the primary convention.
Paragraph eight reminds me of a
report l seen that one A. r. Gardner
was out electioneering for one j. w.
Summers for congress when most of
the boys around Kennewick went to
the harvest fields to spend their vaca-
tions and helped feed the war while
our noted Kennewick editor spent his
vacation Sinking in the cause he
Spouted so loud about.
Paragraph nine reminds me that
there are some friends of Mr.. Thorn
as near Kennewick that are also Mr..
A. R. Gardner's friends, that is in
the business of Leasing to japanese"
1 have never heard Mr.. Gardner speak
about it before.
Now since Mr.. G. has brought the
name Of Puderbaugh into his editor
ial which he label League Traitors, =
I wish to simply say that league
traitor is bad but / wish to remark
that far worse than that is bunch
of thugs that made three trips from
Kennewick during the war to tell a
few farmers what to do and what to
say and proving themselves traitors
to the constitution and the noble stars
and stripes.

PRINTERS LOST MONEY.
Because They Did Not Show Business
Acumen.

New York, Jan. 27.-Lack of business
acumen cost printers in 65 cities a
'lost profit" of S2s 100000 last year, ae-
cording to results of business surveys
cited before 500 employing printers at
Survey mass meeting" here last
night.
Joseph A. Borden, general secretary
of the United Typothetae, declared that
although no business offers greater OPP
portunities for money making, 70 per
cent of printers in the United States
are irresponsible and have no credit.
He added, however, that the indus
try had made. substantial progress in
financial stability in recent years.
Twelve years ago, he said, II was s0th
in the credit list Of American business,
just topping saloons. From that posi-.
ton, he continued, the printers had
worked up until now they were saith.
Referring to labor conditions, Mr..
Borden declared that printing labor
would disappear within IS years unless
replenished by more than the present
number Of apprentices.

Gov. Edwards on Concurrent Power.

In his inaugural address Gov. Ed
wards Of New Jersey proposes TO make
the most OF the concurrent power Of
enforcement conferred upon the states
bv the 18th amendment. The language
used, he says, lis not the result Of ac-
cident or idle thought, but rather is in.
dicative Of the intention on the part OF
the several states TO require their CON
currence. at least as to intrastate com
merce, in any proposed federal legisla.
ton concerning intoxicating beverages.
To give practical application to this
theory the governor urges statutory
Interpretation of the amendment by
the legislature pending the determine
ton of the validity of the article and
TO guard against an attempt to enforce
federal legislation which may be con-
trarv to the expressed desire of the
people of New Jersey. If the state
shall thus meet the issue of concurrent
power il will present question second
only in importance TO that raised by
Rhode Island, which challenges the le-
galitv of the amendment in its entire
".
In no other part Of the constitution
is such a thing as concurrent power
mentioned. Certain powers arc denied

FEW WOMEN COMPLAINED

who believed they were victims of prot

Twenty cards bearing vague informa-

card carried long complaint about the
price of humming birds, and another
protested against profiteering IN

There are three reasons ! can think

CHAUTAUQUA ASSURED FOR NEXT
YEAR.

The annual Chautauqua sessions
came to close last Saturday evening,
when Ada Ward gave her inspiring lee
ture, "You Americans" This lecture
was without boubt one of the finest
numbers on the entire program. The
Redpath system made good its promise
to give the best program in its history.
The attendance throughout the week
was above the average, and when the
canvass was made for season tickets,
for mex tyear, the local committee ex-
perienced no difficulty in getting the
required number of signers to insure
the Chautauqua for next year. It
might be well'to state here that next
year the only season tickets that will
be offered the people of Manchester
and vicinity, will be those which are
signed by the people and the local
committee. After the sessions once
open there will be no more season
tickets sold, by either the local COM
mittee or the Chautauqua people them
selves. All admissions will be for
the single entertainments. II there
are those who have not signed for the
tickets, and wish to do so, there is still
an opportunity to do so by seeing MI

the Farmers & Merchants State Saw
ings Bank.

/ MESSENGER ROUTE FOR MAN.
CHESTER.

Each week day the Manchester post
office receives mail from IL trains
that carry mail and dispatches mail
to 10 trains.
Until recently the law required the
railroads to deliver to and take from
post offices all mail matter carried
by them when the post office was less
than so rds distant from their depot.
But the Interstate Commerce Com
mission has relieved the railroads
from the performance of that service,
and the Post Office Department is now
advertising for bids for mail messen-
ger to carry the mails between the
post office and the railroad depots in
this city.
AT the present time it takes a man
with push cart or hand wagon about
six hours each week day to perform
this service, and the delays incident
to that Anticipated method of handling
mail matter should have been elimiI-
ated long ago.
The Department wants a messenger
who will not be delayed by the per-
Torrance of other work, and the mess
enger should have an automobile and
carry and protect the mails much the
same as our rural carriers do.
The present bids relate only to the
carrying of the mails between the
post office and the depots, but a meas
ure is under consideration to have the
messenger deliver parcel post pack
ages to all parts of the city.

Following the election of officers
the committee appointed to look up
the playground problem reported, and
some discussion as to the manner of
procedure was had by the club mem
bers with the result that the COM
mittee was instructed to take up the
proposition with the school board of
the Independent school district. Super

spoke of the deplorable condition of
the road to the grounds and appealed
to the club to have something done
towards improving the same. We
hope that the committee and those in
charge of the Bureau of Fisheries will
be able to improve this very much
travelled highway, leading to one OF
the finest little parks in eastern Iowa.
