War Records of Candidates.

To the Editor of The Gate City:
Because OF the fact that a man serv-
ed in the late world war, a man should
not be barred from going to congress.
II have no personal knowledge Of the
ability OF Fred S. Holsteen as soldier
his own men can answer that ques-
tion-but he did give his services to
his country when it meant leaving a
wife and four children at home.
What did Kopp and Thompson do
both of them childless? They stayed
at home and made money. Mr. Moles-
berry was too old to be accepted Now
some of the other candidates are try
ing. through their friends, to make it
appear that Holsteen is not big
enough to go to congress. They are
all lawyers, and Holsteen has made
good in everything he has undertaken.
If the voters will investigate for
themselves, they will vote for Hol-
steen in the interest 70 our country,
at the primary on June 7.
kopp has a standing joke that he
lives in one Of the Interior counties
and should he elected on that ground.
He has tried to play that before and
failed to succeed.
Contrast this with Holsteen's rec
ord as a soldier and at home. Hol-
steen believes in letting the majority

H. c. l. VS.. Slow Pay.

To the Editor OF The Gate City:
How to keep up high cost OF coal
and other merchandise:
Don't pay cash for your coal.
Even if you have the money in your
pocket, let the coal man wait.
2--Let him charge it up on his
books. That makes him lot more
work and expense.
Don't pay any attention when
he sends you a bill OF course, he
has to pay for all the coal he buys
before the tenth Of the month, but
if he needs money let him go to the
bank and borrow it. Anyway, book
keeping and billing cost money. Let
him pay it.
If you know what day the col
lector is likely to come, choose that
day for shopping. The expense Of
sending collector around is nothing
to you.
5-If the. collector finds you at
home, tell him that you have had
some extra expense this month, just
as though that were the most unex-
pected thing in the world and en-
tireIy excuses you from paying him
as you promised.
~
be small payment on account That
ought to satisfy him just as well as
payment in full If it leaves him
with few thousand dollars on his
books, while at the same time he is
borrowing money to pay for the coal
he sent you and you have burned,
you should worry.
TT your bill gets uncomfortable

they are talking about what they
trusted you for.
S-Order in small amounts. If your
dealer refuses to deliver quarter tons.
get sore at him even though it would
mean an actual loss to him to deliver
small amounts.
9-Order by the half ton, even
though he charges you an extra quar-.
ter for delivering in such small
amounts. Then kick about the high
cost Of living. Pay for service, not
for coal.
10--Anyway, be Jealous Of the pru.
dent buyery ask him to let you have
some OF his coal when next winters
pinch comes along
lift you must have a ton, order
it that way, but do not, under any
circumstances, order two tons or a
load; make the deliveries as expen-
sive az possible.
12-Let your alley or driveway re-
main in the worst possible condition.
Pile your ashes up In the alley. II
the coal wagon gets stuck, that is
none of your business. But don't for
get to hoiler about the high cost of
coal.
13--Whatever you do, don't think
about borrowing money to pay your
honest debts. Let your coal dealer
and your grocer and other local mer-
chants be your banker II you have
any cash at hand, send it away to
some mail order house or pay cash
at some chain store and then tell |
everybody that your local merchant

TANGO MADNESS.

All Gaul divides naturally into three parts,
as Caesar explained and now the tango is said
to have torn French society into three recrimi-
mating groups. It is not alone this particular
exercise In saltatory gymnastics but dances Of
that general class which are angrily denounced
and heatedly defended Cardinal Annette and
the great ladies in his following reprobate them
as pestllential and conducive of immorality
They say women born to social position must
light the indecent thing to death. The opposing
wing maintains that activities of this type are
not all pernicious but really elevating: for the
mtI1cacy and difficulty of such .ialnbal stunts
call Tor concentrated mental attention and drive
all fiTtatious or philandering notions from the
nlnd. In this respect as they argue it is not
seductive and insidiously demoralizing like the
waltz through which the young can gyrate
automatically with their thoughts fixed on far
other things. The tangoer has no more time
for sentimental nominations than FLYING
trapeze performer would have: and no better
way could be found to preserve the vestal in
nocence Of i1nmaturity than to keep it fox trot
ting through all its waking hours. Between
these extremists, as might be expected are the
middle grounders, who contend that the tango
Is uplifting or depraving according to the men
tai prepossessions Of its votaries and that there
Is nothing good or bad but thinking makes it
SO.
And so the controversy RACES. People want
1Edecency and therefore tango, says the Count
ess de la Rouchefoucauld. venonous Islander.
cries the Princess Murat; they tango because
they delight in pedal agility and find rest in
rythmical physical activities. Tangoers never
care who their partners are if only that they
can dance it without skip or break. Both
wrong, declares famous opera star Saints
and sinners alike can tango The pure can fox
trot with perfect publicity. Tangoers find what
they seek and it all depends on what they are
looking for.
Upon the merits Of this controversy it might
be presumptious to undertake to pass The
views of people who are too ungainly or sedate
to tango would clearly be of little worth. IF
France is all split up into tangophiles and
tangophobes, we at this distance cannot help it,
Ter an age has come when people are laws unto
themselves We might send missionaries over
but probably that would be considered an i'm
pertlnence; and ''pussyfoot'' proselyters are
not enthusiastically received abroad We
might interdict it here in America bv a twen-
tieth amendment, and enact that tangoers shall
kick only one-haf of one per cent. os high as
they are kicking now. Perhaps we shall do this
IN time. But even then, with our example TO
encourage her reformation France might ner-

THIRTY THREE CENT SUGAR.

With sugar prices the "highest ever
thirty three cents pound, retail-the quantity
being brought into the United States is the
"biggest ever
Official figures Of the movements of sugar in.
to the United States, including that from it's
own islands, says the National City Bank Of
New York, indicate that the quantity entering
the country in the fiscal year 1920 which ends
with June, will apparently approximate 9,O0O,-
100000 pounds, against 75O,000000 in the
former high record year--the fiscal year 1919
The valuation Of the 1920 imports will, how
ever, far exceed that of 1919 or any earlier year.
and may reach 800 900 as against $43333, OOO,-
900 in the fiscal year Of 1919 This estimate in
cludes the sugar crop from our own islands,
which are not usually included in the 'importn
figures.
The 'Scause'' Of the high price of sugar has
been ''explained' time and time again of late
by refners, brokers, wholesalers and retailers.
But these various "explanations'' from the
quartet of first handlers have left the consum-
ers in a state of mind that is far from convinc-
ed. They read the production figures and then
wonder why they are mulcted onethird of
dollar for an article that was considered almost
out of reach when it sold, az it did during the
war, at eleven cents.
Congress has only to enact the water power
bill which is before it to take control of one of
the several states great resources No fault
lies with congress; it provided opportunity for
the states to enact such' special legislation as
they saw fit in advance of federal action and
sixteen states did enact special legislation.
Reports from Kansas are to the effect that
the soft coal miners of that state are rapidly
changing their attitude toward the newly Gre
ated industrial court. From bitter opponents
they are becoming supporters of the new trib
unal, and see in it real aid to conservative
IaSSNssu...s.+ arnsts.
