GIVE US BOTH SIDES

Reports from Washington to the
effect that the Henry Ford campaign
expenditures are to be looked into by
an investigation committee of the
United States Senate will receive the
hearty approval of every honest man
in the country. Unlike the. clandestine
investigation Of Senator Newberry's
campaign expenditures conducted
along. strictly partizan lines, which
destroys the effectiveness in the esti-
nation of fair minded men, the Ford
probe is to be conducted by a COM
mittee composed of both democrats
and republicans and the sessions are
to be open to the public, instead Of
resorting to the infamous grand jury
system. Judge Sessions holds that
less that $4,000 can be legitimately
expended in behalf of candidate for
the United States Senate, yet one Of
Henry Ford's printing bills along is
reported to have been in excess of
100000. The Tradesman has moth
ing but the utmost contempt for a one
sided Investigation by Government
officials, with Government funds to
smirch the reputation Of one man
and protect the reputation of another
because he happens to be pet of the
administration. Fair play is the only
thing which will ever get any man
or any party very far in this day and
age Of the world. The attempt to
build up one man on the ruins Of an
another has never succeeded and new
er will, because it stamps every man
who resorts to such methods, as shal-
low, treacherous and undependable.--
Michigan Tradesman.
The mystery of Mr.. McAdoo's dec.
laration that he would not attend the
Jackson day banquet at Washington
is apparently cleared up. He has
announced that he will not be q cam

same can be said of imports from
other oriental countries. While we
are yammering about the league Of

slipping in the Pacific Coast door and
displacing American-made goods with
those made in the Far East. Let's
give up worrying about the league of

Squirrels Bic as Cats.

There is no country that can rival
North America for the great number OF
squirrels, both species and subspecies,
represented in her fauna. In so far "a
hrilllancy of color and size are con-
cerned, however, says the American
Forestry Magazine of Washington, the
handsomest and largest squirrels in the
world are found in the orient and the
East Indies. Along the coast Of Mala-
bar IS found squirrel as big as an
ordinary cat; this animal is bright red
on the upper part of its body, offset
by the most intense black, while adj the
lower parts are of clear yellow.
