WHILE PALMER HAD THE BEE

An anniversary in the campaign against the high cost of living, waged by the democratic ad- ministration, is approaching. A year ago, after congress had been in session nearly four years President Wilson demanded that it continue in session to enact law giving Attorney General Palmer more power for the prosecution of profit eers in the necessaries of life. Congress stayed in session and enacted the law" asserts Repre- sentative Wells Goodkoontz, of West Virginia although the members thought that the presi- hand statutes broad enough to send every prof iteer in this broad land to prison Armed with the old law and the new law written by his own hand what did the attorney general do? Noth- ing, practically nothing. In the words of one of the senators, the attorney general has set few mouse traps when he should have been setting bear traps Flying the black flag of piracy with their feonious fingers in the pockets of the peo- pie, the proiteers have piled their trade unmo- tested and unafraid'

LEAF FROM DEMOCRATIC LEDGER

"Twenty-two million dollars was spent for fees to favored contractors, on camps and can tonments," said Representative James G. Strong, of Kansas, in commenting upon the waste of pub lie funds during the war, revealed by the report of the committee on war expenditures of the house of representatives "The general knowl- edge of the graft of the cost-pus contractors the aeroplane scandal, and the granting and settle ment of war contracts forced the investigator" |" says Mr. Strong "We spent $2O6, ,632 92O for 16 national army cantonments built by the cost plus system. These could have been built for SIPS 1O1 ,399 or SIS, ,531 ,521 less than they did cost
 "We expended S1,2OOOOO,OO0 for the con- struction of camps and cantonments, largely by the cost-plus system, system adopted by the war department. By this system costs were in creased, labor demoralized, the completion of camps was delayed, soldiers called to the colors were subjected to conditions that induced dis ease and death, and from 40 to 60 per cent of the money was wasted"

A GOOD STAR TO FOLLOW

Harding has not only been a lifelong pub- fisher, but one creditabe to the profession. His idea of newspaper ethics is set forth in circular of instructions given to every reporter employed on the paper. One of the significant instructions contained in the circular is the following:
 "There is good in everybody. Bring out the good in everybody, and never needlessly hurt the feelings of anybody"
 "No yellow journalism in that. And be it said to the credit of the people of Marion, they gave cordial support to paper with such an ideal. Undoubtedly, if MT. Harding had been willing to degrade his paper to sensationalism, he could have sold few additional copies of his paper. He could have gradually cultivated a taste for sensationasm in his community By hurting the feeling of few unfortunate or mis- guided people, he could have furnished "spicy" reading for the buyers of his paper But, for tunately for the community, for journalism, and for him, he pursued No such course, and the con- munity showed its high ideals by making his pa per great success.
 Harding to writers on the Marion Star for their guidance:
 Remember, there are two sides to every question. Get them both.
 Be truthful Get the facts.
 Mistakes are inevitable, but strive for accur- acy. would rather have one story exactly right than hundred half wrong.
 De ueCenI, De ldiI, De StHSIouS'
 "Boost-don't knock.
 "There's good in everybody. Bring out the good in everybody, and never needlessly hurt the feelings of anybody
 "In reporting political gathering, give the facts, tell the story it s not as you would like to have it. Treat all parties alike.
 "If there's any politics to be played, we will play it in our editorial columns.
 'Treat all religious matters reverently.
 "If it can possibly be avoided never bring ig- nominy to an innocent man or child in telling of the misdeeds or misfortunes of relative.
 Don't wait to be asked, but do it without asking, and, above all, be clean and never let dirty word of suggestive story get into type.
 q want this paper so conducted that it can go into any home without destroying the innocence of any child"
 "it is safe to say that the general principles adopted for the newspaper over which he had control would be followed so far as applicable in the administration of the affairs of government As he was not sensationast as editor of a newspaper, neither would he be muck-raker as president He would remember that there are two sides to every question and would get both sides before reaching decision"

The few so-caled non-partisans" who met at Tucson the other day, seem to have stirred up a fine mess among the democrats who were Zen dorsed." The bunch endorsed by this bunch of radical democrats under the guise of "non-parti- sans" have agreed to deliver anything desired, regardless of their oath of office and have made it apparent they are the candidates of this one class only It does not set well with the people generally who will cast the bulk of the vote this fall The endorsement of this select few will prove decided handicap to those endorsed. Leslie c. Hardy, the democratic candidate for the nomination for attorney general against Wiley Jones' one of the "endorsed' candidates, has this to say of their action:
 'T am convinced" said Hardy, "that the rank and file of the people of this state are opposed, not only to the methods pursued by these so-call- ed representatives of labor but also to their pro- gram did not bid for this endorsement, nor do solicit this support. am just as much opposed to those who met in Tucson last Saturday as they are to me.
 'The attempt of this same element which endorsed my opponent at Tucson to foment, labor trouble in the Salt River valley and elsewhere in the state should condemn their efforts to control the election of the state. believe that the well fare of Arizona demands that I fight them and their tactics whenever the opportunity presents itself, and intend to do so"

While we do not agree entirely with him. there is some reason of course, for criticism, as there always is in small cities. However, we are under the impression that he is mistaken as to our sidewalks and must have had some other town in mind, for our walks are 90 per cent cement.
