be ignored, and accordingly he will
start for Washington the early part OF

pend upon circumstances but he states
that it will probably not exceed few
weeks.

ator for General Supply, or in other
words that of general purchasing
agent for the United States govern
ment. and through his hands will pass
the hundreds of millions of dollars

J Both General Dawes and Colone
Smither are we'll acquainted with Ma

direct result of the work he did fol
them overseas. when General Dawes

WHAT is THRIFT?

Just at this juhcture in the worlds and our
countrys affairs. the saving of money certainly
one OF the most useful contributions that people
could possibly make putting the world right"
This is the appeal Of Prest Harding, sent out
by treasury department to help increase the
postal savings accounts
While It may be taken for granted that all efforts
OF thrift most commendable and the appeal
necessary. also true that the greatest step to-
ward putting the world right will be the saving OF
other things than money
Money Is simply the measure OF wealth and
cumule:ed money means only so much stored-up
energy, depending for It's power its value when
put to use
The German who had laid away his small saw
ings before the might. under favorable circum-
stances, have saved total OF five six thousand
marks Today those savings would purchase a suit
OF clothes.
A Russian merchant. under the car. might have
saved few hundred thousand rubes been
accounted rich Today such savings would be the
price Of a good
The real thrift that is needed to put the world
right the saving the conservation things
for which money is spent.
Men work for years a bit Of ground-yet
the nation as aw hole permits vast areas to lie
productive because failure properly safeguard
It against floods or to bring in the water from ad
jacent hills which would deserts into gardens
The people want transportation. for themselves
and the products Of other which they desire
to use. Yet the entire transportation system is so
badly operated and so much effort is wasted that
large share Of he farmers crops the
sumersT loaves Is wiped out in the cumbersome and
unnecessary labor which is used, in
necessary fuel which is wasted.
The world suffering from a lack of things
which be produced by abor-and yet there
many men and women in this country who job
less. while in other nations the condition is still
worse.
Each day a remains idle a loss OF
wealth to the world wealth which is needed
off the hunger that is breeding discomfort and
outon in other lands and is seriously menacing
some Of own large centers.
The real appeal thrift which will put the
world right should demand more than the saving of
pennies for postal savings.
It should go to the heart Of things, eliminate the
wasteful and the destructive encourage the useful
and constructive and store up things which
make people happy and contented

PROBE THIS CASE.

The charge OF an ex-service man that ne was
threatened with delay delay IN his trial unless
he pleaded guilty 20 felony, should not be passed
ever lightly BY the courts
The respect for courts r. not aided when there
arises a suspicion that they do not afford RELIEF
from every wrong and that men may be denied the
rights given them by the constitution.
One very well established right is that Of a
speedy trial when accused OF crime
To hold a man unable to give bail in jail month
after month punish without authority and TO
make arrest the equal Of conviction.
When there 3 added this the open charge that
the delay Is premeditated 70 force a confession
there should be a prompt inquiry into the facts
Neither the law the temper OF the people VIII
stand for any misuse OF power the part OF any
officer OF the courts.
To hold the respect OF the people for courts which
n a most necessary sentiment in a community
which lives under the law. It Il essential that the
courts be known as even-handed and worthy Of
respect.
There be end OF delayed trials with men
in jail There must be no charges that trials are
delayed TO secure forced confessions course
which has been branded as tyranny for two cen
turtles by who ready TO die to escape just
such misuse OF authority.

NO LONGER MEDICINE.

Beer, for a few days was medicine Now, by
act OF congress. it is a beverage and forbidden.
Those who believed that more the country
would be brought to wet basis through corrupt
misuse OF power by doctors need neither hope nor
fear longer congress- by its act. has said that
the alcoholic brews are not medicinal in their
effect.
OF the nation IS very interesting precedent which
h set by this act
It means that congress declares its own power
to regulate practice OF medicine and to stan
dards by law as to what drugs may may not be
Should the time arise, when those who believe
that all drugs are harmful or unnecessary obtain
majority Of the membership OF congress, they viii
have in this precedent for declaring the pre-
scription OF any drugs whatsoever crime and
against the peace OF the nation.
The move in congress is but step towards
the Capitalization OF power and enlargement OF
governmental regulation OF individual affairs
The overwhelming vote for the anti-beer measure

secure real prohibition the law. The
who voted for It know the temper OF the people.
They know that firm Is the belief in the benef-
osnce this amendment the constitution that the

lished rights IN order make it effective.

The mayor o. Detroit invited attend

because. he says. the mayor OF Chicago is "irre-

The reply and the manner in which Il given

mayors and city officials.
Whatever be the faults and virtues Of Thompson.
one big fact stands out and that IS in the face OF

or Detroit has for his authority and prominence
