Campaign Funds

Revelation before the senates investigation
of pre-convention campaign expenditures show
that tremendous sums of money have been spent
by candidates for the presidency to obtain en-
dorsement of their candidates..
There has been no evidence to show that the
money was spent illegally or for bribery and cor
ruption.
The American people, however, had their
eyes opened when they were informed that one
candidate had spent almost one-half million dol
lars and that he put up almost all of it himself
This sum is no small one to land the nomination
for the pr esdency. Other candidates their
friends have spent sums that are staggering to
the imagination.
Nominations are going to be expensive luxur-
les if the figures revealed so far are any indica-
ton of what candidates are willing to spend. II
it takes fortune to apprise the people Of the
merits of a candidate, many able men are auto
matically barred from seeking the presidential
nomination.
The senate committee is comforting favor
on the people by revealing the amount of money
that the pre-convention struggle is costing.

The Red Cross Anniversary

The month of May marks the beginning of
the fortieth year of service of the American
Red Cross. Miss Clara Barton, its first presi-
dent, was in Switzerland when the Red Cross
Treaty was drawn up, but it took her II years
to win the consent of the United States to the
terms laid down in Geneva.
To her is given credit for clause in the
American Red Cross society providing for civil
ian relief. What am proudest of in my ca
reer," she often sad 'is that had included in
the charter of the National Red Cross society
that its work should also be enlisted in time of
national stress other than war; fire. flood or any
of those awful visitations of Providence entail
ing loss of life and property
The World war proved the value of civilian
relief work. It's beneficent influence brought
cheer to many homes and happiness to many
hearts that were grief stricken. The whole
country learned first hand that the Red Cross
society was not an institution to be associated
solely with the battlefield, but that it also per-
formed great work of mercy at home.

THIS DATE IN HISTORY.
Ninety-eight years ago today the
first cigar store Indian was born to
fulfill his mission in front of a tobacco
shop in Philadelphia After receiving
seventy-one coats of paint he passed
out of this life at the age of ninety-one,
mourned by a large circle of friends
and relatives. He was one Of the few
Indians in this country who wouldn't
trade his birthright for a mess of fire
water.
A reader Of the New York Tribune"
writes that paper that he doesn't know
what it is to be intoxicated. as he
never drinks liquor for pleasure. He
certainly doesn't if he drinks the

The Red Cross has proved the potency of its
organization in many catastrophes and calam-
tiles in the United States. Whenever relief is to
be distributed on gigantic scale the Red Cross is
the organization that directs the work and sys-
tematizes the distribution.
The foresight of Clara Barton has been a
boon to the unfortunate in hundreds of instances
where intense suffering and misery otherwise
would have filled the heart with grief.

TAX LAW is DEMOCRATS
SAYS GOVERNOR GOODRICH

Governor Goodrich, in a statement
issued Tuesday, declared that the tax
plank in the Democrat state platform
presents "the unusual spectacle of a
Democratic platform repudiating the
statements of former Governor Mar
shall, and condemns the record OF GOV.
ernor Ralston." The governor asserts
that the tax law, after the proposed
amendments are made. embodies only
such features as the Democrats, when
in power, repeatedly urged, but failed
to enact.

To be efficient is to be stamped
with the brand of the thoroughbred.
There is a reainess. an honesty, a
sincerity about the man who works
in the best way that he knows-and
who is always adding to this knowl-
edge from every possible source-that
makes everyone want to take Off his
hat to him.
Such a man is ever favored by the
Gods, who see everywhere.
Mere luck is rarer than the rarest
pearl or diamond The truly lucky
man is, the one who learned to do his
work better than anyone else could
do it-and then to stick to it. and
keep doing his best-better.
You can not cover up inefficiency.
It will walk right out from behind the
biggest barrier and face you when
you least expect 1t to.
When you see a big man rise, you
may be sure that he was under prep
aration for very long time. Effic-
iency doesn't talk much until it has
done its work-and then it's results

The gods have no especial abiding
place. And they never sleep. Their
eyes are as fire and moro piercing
than the rays of the sun.
Expect the greatest praise, however
from your own self!
For only as you are satisfied. does
the opinion of the world gather and
walk up to inquire as to what sort
you are.

sometimes. But it always comes
