BUILT ON A ROCK

An unfounded rumor which
spread abroad through the
community last week caused
a few people to withdraw their
deposits amounting to less
than $10,000) from that old
and established bulwark of
financial strength the Iowa
County Bank. The emergen-
cy was promptly and effect
lively met with the ready
cash by the bank officials;
and by wealthy directors per-
sonally guaranteeing every
dollar of deposits or claims
against the bank.
The letters and telegrams
that poured i'll from banks of
Chicago and Milwaukee and
from many neighboring banks
showed plainly that the Iowa
County Banks financial foun-
dation is as firm as a rock.

COX MANAGERS APPEAL TO
TO MASSES FOR FUNDS
Believe People Will Finance Work
in Behalf of Ticket
Over Hundred Thousand Helped
Four Years Ago

The Democratic National Commit
tee wants help, wants it in an open,
above-board, public way. The Cox
Roosevelt managers are in great
need Of funds not millions as are
available to their opponents but
modest thousands with which to off
set the effect of the immense funds
being used to confuse and misrep-
resent the true issues of the presen,
national campaign.
They propose to get needed funds
directly from the body of Cox
Roosevelt supporters. This is In
harmony with the financial policies
of previous Democratic Campaigns.
In 1912 nearly 100000 persons SUBJ
scribed to the fund used in carrying
the Wilson message to the people.
In 1916 even a larger aggregate
of individuals rendered financial
help. Though the time for making
appeal is short the CoX-Rooseve1t
managers believe even larger num-
Der want to contribute this year.
They have no hope or desire o.
matching millions with the Republi-
cans; in fact, they don't believe
that such is necessary even if it were
tolerable. But some funds are need
ed with which to do legitimate work
the maintaining of headquarters, the
writing of letters, the sending forth
of information which the voters
should have, etc.
Ample funds would readily come
to the Democratic managers were
they to ignore all questions sof source
and purpose represented by large do

4 Voter Protests

To the Editor: In last weeks is
sue Of the Mineral Point Tribune ap-
peared the following:
Women's Slogan: We are not
"too proud to fight" but we are en-
phatic in our objection to sending
our sons and brothers to turbulent
countries to subdue their wars, wars
chargable largely to dominant and
grasping czars, emperors, kings,
lords, etc. all autocrats Of the
worst type-a curse to mankind III
stead Of blessing.
The above is sample Of the style
and character of argument that is
expected to win the votes of Wiscon-
sin women for Harding and Coolidge
in November. It is not the lowest
style of argument that has been useu
but it is about the average. 1t seems
incredible that such tactics can win;
and yet we find good sensible women
who will rely upon such buncombe
unless they can be convinced of it's
utter Stiffness. Go to any man or
woman in whose judgment you have
confidence, and for whose intelIl-
gence you have respect, and ask him
if he really believes such nonsense as
that set forth above, and, if you can
get him to think that you are seri-
Gus, he will tell you:
/. That under the Constitution Of
the United States the only way that
American boys can be sent to war IN
Europe is by the action Of the con-
gress; and that there is not a wora
League Of Nations that in any way
limits the constitutional rights of the
people of the United States.
2. They will also tell you that
there are no cZars or autocrats VI
Europe today. On the contrary
there is an entirely different situa-
ton.
g. They will tell you that every
civilized nation of the world has
joined the League OF Nations except
unspeakable Turkey, Bolshevik Rus
sia, anarchistic Mexico and our own
country. They will not speak with
pride of our associates.
4. They will also tell you that a
man or woman is judged by the COM
pany he or she keeps; and that the
leading opponents to the League, o.
Nations in this country are the
Hearst newspapers, the Pro-GermaE
sympathizers and the haters of Eng
land.
If you want to line up with these
elements, then swallow such state
ments as appeared in last week S

1t Means Something

Milwaukee Journal: Poland ana
their boundary quarrel by the coun-
Gil of the League of Nations.
Of course that doesn't mean any
thing to a man whose only interes.
in the League is the politics he car
make out of it, far away from scenes
where the red specter of war is a
daily dread. If it meets his politics
to say the League of Nations is dead,
he'll go on to say it-and try to
make it true.
But it means something to moth
ers and children in Lithuania and
Poland. 1t means something to wo-
men who know the long suspense,
the wondering what day the message
is to come that their man has been
sacrificed to this war over bounu-
ary and all their years henceforth
must be a lonely struggle and a sac
remembering.
Mr.. Harding may say at Marion
that the League covenant is ambig-
uous. He says the constitution was
too. But the country took the con-
stitution because it offerAd the means
of getting together, of settling all the
little disputes among the states
which threatened Civil war and GER
tain disruption of the new nation
The constitution worked. The
League is working today to avert
new war in Poland and Lithuania

Instead they are leaving the mat
ter to the people, to those who give,
modestly perhaps, but yet out of no
motive but unselfsh desire to pro-
mote the principles represented by
James NJ. Cox and Franklin d.
Roosevelt.
They believe the masses of Cox
Roosevelt supporters will thus come
to the aid of the campaign, and have
requested this newspaper to receive
and transmit contributions from its
readers.

CHICAGO POLICE SEIZE
RED AND HIS DATA
Detectives Confiscate Secret Index Of
1000 Soviet Workers Through
out the United States.

Chicago, Sept. 24.-That Chicago is
being used as base for the spread Of
"red" propaganda was discovered by
detectives of the bomb squad in a
raid.
Under the direction of Detective
Sergeant Lawrence McDonough, de-
tectives and police searched the house
cred to be the address of Peter Ia
lietskas. organizer for district 5 of
the Communist party of, America.
It was found that Zalietskas had
been engaged, while at that address,
in printing thousands Of Communist
and soviet pamphlets, which were
later transferred to the Union avenue
address.
That Zalietskas and those whom be
represents are taking no chances of
the mails, was. found in the system by
which the red" literature has been
distributed
Bales of 100 or more pamphlets, un-
der Zalietskas' plan of distribution,
were sent out by express to the vari-
Gus agents throughout the United
States, and these agents in turn dis
tributed them, thus obviating the use
of the mails.
Among the papers confscated were
several printed lists, bearing the
names Of 1000 of these agents, and
covering the whole country in a YER
liable network of "red" propaganda.
Every state in the Union is repre-
sented in the list, it was said. as are

REINSCH FOR SENATOR

out Paul S. Reinsch for United
States Senator. His initial state
ment as a candidate marks him
as a man entitled to leadership.
In it there is a note of power
which harks back to the days of
Villas. He has evidently studied
the history of governments, not
to worship it; but rather, in its
light to work out better de-
mOcracy.

A LEADER

In the Democratic platform
convention at Madison last week
Col. Robert B. Mccoy made good
as a responsible leader. He de-
feated a semi-Wet plank pro
posed for the platform and in
other ways exerted a salutary
influence. The Milwaukee Jour
nal says:
Throughout the entire session OF
the conference the commanding per
sonality Of Col Mccoy was evident
During one debate when a factionar
fight seemed to be brewing the gu
bernatorial nominee made an effec-
tive plea for party harmony and
team work.
'This is no time for the Democra:1
to be divided,' said Col. Mccoy,
"the state of Wisconsin is looking to
our party.to lead the fight for gooo
government against Socialism and
un-American principles which are in
Vading our commonwealth from a
neigh boring state. We must StanO
together, and when I say stand, l
mean stand-nOt Waver-tOgether.
LET the state know that we are
true Democrats, let it at the same
time know that we have been. We
are confident in our cause and We
will not bulge one inch from our
true democracy and Americanism.
eve will not straddle one single
issue to gain one single vote. But
we shall urge voters to join us in a
fight in which we are determined &c
quit ourselves like men"

that the hearts of many people
have become hardened until now
they resent any cry for help. Very
often a rich man helps in many d.
rections, but he prefers to discover
the need himself.
Living conditions are wrong.
The rich man makes money his
god and forgets humanity. What
we need is less charity and less
greed. Greed has become such a
power in this country OF ours that
it has crept into almost every heart
whether the man is rich or Door.
How many men in the laboring
class conscientiously work for
what they earn? Think OF the car
p~nter, plumber, etc. Isn't it a
question of get instead OF give with
most of them? Every man and
woman alive should stop to think
whether he himself. is fit to enter
the kingdom of heaven.
The principle of borrowing is
wrong: II you could pay back, you
could also save the amount each
week which you would expect to
pay back. Such an ARRANGEMENT
would be preferable because Won
would not put yourself under .bfi-
cation to anyone and would not
