Joseph Letter, the man who was
made famous by an attempt to cor
ner the wheat market and rob the
wheat growers of the country, is
said to have had $3OO,0O0 worth of
liquor stolen from his country home
near Washington. I am glad the
thieves got it. / wish they had sto-
len the car load that Wilson had re-
moved from the White House when
he gave way to the present incum-
bent, Harding. There is no scarcity
of liquor in Washington with the
wealthy office holders. When I was
there some months ago, I was told
that certain Senator had stored a.
way nine barrels in his cellar, and
he was now industriously engaged in
trying to destroy it all by drinking
it.-Vardaman's Weekly.

MEMORIALS FOR BENEFIT OF
LIVING.

This thing of spending hundreds
of thousands of the peoples money
to honor the dead while the living
cry for bread goes against the grain
with few people. A lot Of senti-
ment and slush is often wasted on a
proposition that means nothing in
the world to the struggling peoples
of the earth and that can't possibly
affect the dead. That's the reason
we believe in memorials that will
help educate people, or assist in
their relief in some other way, rath-
er than mausoleums that display
wealth but are useless for service.
A memorial at the Community
Hospital will mean more than an
expensive piece Of marble in a cem-
etery.

have peace and disarmament we

I agree; we must remove the causes
of war in so far as we can. Let US

tic cause Of war, incitement to war,
constant invitation to war, always
a temptation to war. to-wit, huge

fall, SO long as peoples are imbued
with national spirit and are of
different races, SO long as CONNER
cial rivalry obtains, there will be
differences between nations; nations
will have controversies. We can
never hope to settle them all and
see no more arise. But suppose that
every battle-ship which Japan has
was at the bottom Of the sea, sup
pose that every battle-ship- those
obsolete floating palaces which we
are building-was at the bottom of
the sea and likewise every battle
ship belonging to Great Britain was

A TIMELY SUGGESTION

This is the season of the year
when the prudent and careful house
wife replenishes her supply of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. 1t is al
most certain to be needed before the
winter is over and results are much
more prompt and satisfactory when
it is kept at hand and given as soon
as the first indication of a cold ap-
pears and before it has become set
tied in the system. There is no
danger in giving it to children as it
contains no opium or other harmful
drug.

The Leader favors economy Just
as far as it can go hand in hand
