A Mighty Difference

There is a mighty difference in the
measure of culpability OF a cheap,
sharp little ward politician attempt
ing to mislead the public by distor-
ton and Misrepresentation and a like
distortion and Misrepresentation by a
Presidential candidate.
No one places any confidence in the
professional ward politician. He may
do or say anything to carry a point
and little Importance attaches to it.
The reason is that men do not look in
his direction for character, and start
ling u~tterances without character do
not make a ripple in the community.
But the Presidential candidate, tn.
actual nominee Of a great party,
stands out with us as a great figure,
a man of rock-ribbed character, a
man Of superb dignity, to whom lit
tie acts, small petty acts, the acts of
the sharp little ward politician in
matters political. would be abhorrent
and impossible.
Because Of this ideal Of the man
selected by his party for the first
office in the land, because Of this ideal
which mirrors the composite of our
Presidents from Washington to Will
son, it is shocking to see Mr.. Cox de-
scend to demagogic levels in his fight

Let S Be Fair

During the past few weeks We have
several times heard our home mer-
chants criticized for the prices they
charge for their goods.
The home merchant does not
charge a higher price-a much higher
one-than he did before the war. He
is compelled TO do so or go out of
business.
he is paying enormously high
prices for all goods in the wholesale
markets.
He is paying increased freight rates
and carriage.
His help costs him more money
and his overhead expenses are great
er.
Everywhere he turns he is forced to
pay a heavy increase in the cost of
conducting his business.
Added to this, he is under an ad-
ditional pressure in paying the high
cost OF supporting his family and him
self.
All of this must come out of the
business, and this can only be done
by charging a reasonable percentage
Of profit oyer the wholesale cost of
his goods.
The home merchant can not afford

would soon be trapped and would
thereafter be a dead one in this COM
munity.
Prices are high-abnormally high
but we believe the home merchants
are as reasonable in their charges as
can be expected under existing on
ditions. Let's be fair and consider
both sides before we criticize.

In what he has said of Republican

way he has said it has written him
down as a person wholly unfit to be
President Of these United States. has
written him down as a man ready
to delude and mislead that he may
gain advantage over his opponent in
the Presidential race; has written
him down as Indifferent to facts and
to the v~erities of the situation; has
written him down as a sharp little
man without bigneSs of soul, bigneSS
of vision or appreciation of the great
role he is playing as the nominee of a
great political party for President of
the United States.
The facts as disclosed before the
Kenyon campaign committee annihi-
late the Cox charges of the Republi-
can corruption fund; the facts show
that the money so far received by the
Republican campaign committee is
only a trihe over a million dollars;
and getting it in small contributions,
as Mr.. Hayes hopes to do, is not big
with promise for even the necessary
amount to run a national political
campaign.
No one knows better the falsity Of
the 'slush fund" charges he has been
making than Governor Cox himself;
no one knows better than he that the
quota figures of the drive artist mean
little in truth; no one knows better
than he, a shrewd business man, that
it isn't within the bounds of posi-
bility to raise fifteen millions Of dol
lars in small contributions for cam
paign purposes; no one knows better
than he that the attitude of the whole
country in the matter of campaign

CHESTNUT RIDGE

The Chestnut Ridge community has
again been saddened by the death of
Mr.. George Williams. He died of
Blood poisoning at the Bonnie Terre
Hospital March IS. The funeral was
at 2 p. m. Sunday, March 21st, and in
terment was in Chestnut Ridge GEM
etery. Mr.. Williams was a quiet,
kind man, and loved by all who knew
him. He was devoted husband and
father 1t brings great sorrow to
give up such a good man as Mr.. Will
liams, but our loss is his gain. He
died trusting in his Savior and went
to that celestial city beyond. May
the spirit of God comfort his bereav-
ed wife and children.
Miss Mamie McElligott of st.
Louis came down last Tuesday for a
few days visit with her aunt, Mrs.
John Marks.
! On March 9th, the friends of Miss
Bette Evans received the sad intel
| ligence of her death, which occurred
at her home in Muskogee, Okla, on
March It'll. She had influenza and
other troubles, which resulted in her
death. Mrs. Evans once lived at
Chestnut Ridge and has many friends
here. She also has a sister here, Mrs.
Chas. Horn, and nephew, Fred
Horn, and a niece, Mrs. Lucy Fink.
Mrs. Elvins left here and went to
Muskogec, Okla, where she remained
until death. She visited here twice
during her stay in Oklahoma-the
last time was in August, 1918. She
came here and took her mother, Mrs
T. A. Porter, home with her to spend
her remaining days, but now she has
been called beyond, and the aged
mother who is SO years old, remains
in Oklahoma with her son, VIM. Por-
ter. Mrs. Elvins was kind and no
BILE Christian woman. To know her
was to love her. 1t is sad indeed TO
give up such a good woman. But her
reward we know, will be great. May
God comfort her aged mother and
other relatives and friends.
Mrs. Jake Grader and family visit
ed at Doe Run last Sunday, the guests
og her mother, Mrs. Beck, and her
niece, Hester Swinford, who has been
confined to her bed most all winter
with lung trouble. Her nephew, Jes-
sic Beck, accompanied her home and
has employment with Joe Wigger.

GOVERNMENT SAVINGS
IN FRATERNAL ORDERS
No Chance for Lodge or Individual
to Lose When Funds Are In
U. S. Securities.

The success which attended the ad-
vancement of the Government Thrift
Campaign among membership of bust,
ness and social organizations through
out 1919 has called renewed attention
to the great opportunity to serve their
members which lies before the fra
ternal insurance orders. The first
step in such service may be taken
by organizing Savings Committee in
each local lodge as part of the Gov
eminent organization for saving and
investment in Government securities.
The fraternal insurance orders have
brought together people who desire
the financial protection which life in.
surance affords, but there are numer-
Gus financial risks for which this
method of insurance gives no protec-
ton and against which reserve fund.
created by savings, alone affords
safety. Sickness, unemployment, the
education of children, old age and
other disabilities are typical situations
which demand individual savings.
The order can help its members to
save by appointing one member in
each lodge as Government savings
chairman, delegated to have War Saw
ings Stamps, Treasury Savings Ger.
tificates and Thrift Stamps on sale at
each meeting and by sending out order
blanks for these securities with
premium notices. This plan entails no
financial responsibility upon the ma
tional or local organization of any
order but serves to bring home to the
attention of members the chance to
save for their own protection and
benefit
The Trsa ury Department has is
sued special pamphlet on Govern
ment Savings in the fraternal orders,
which will be sent to local lodges,
making requests Of the Savings Di-
vision of the Treasury Department,
