TOM SIMS HALLOWEEN

Halloween is one OF our most un-
known-about celebrations.
Apparently without any provocation
that is what tonight is.
Its origin dates back even before the
annual coal shortages.
While it only comes once a year it has
seldom been known to miss.
It really is All Souls Day, but all the
sinners celebrate.
Yet as a saxaphonist said: IT'S an

This is the only way you can give
the coal barons the gate,

Your visitors will be guests because
you guess who they are.

cant tell which is which.

MISCHIEF NIGHT

Halloween. when il started far back
in the mists Of time. was the night when
evil spirits were supposed to flock out
Of hiding and roam the earth marauding
and destroying.
After many centuries we see the work

handled by Willie. Tom. Pat and the
rest Of the youthful gang
It illustrates how next 10 impossible
il is to get a custom or superstition
out OF the human brain. once it gets
there.
On the ancient agricultural calendar.
Halloween was sort of New Years
Day. Harvest was over and the land
lord called Tor mis- share Of the crops
raised by tenant farmers.
IL was custom for him 10 arrive late
in the evening and make merry al such
pastinles as cider drinking and apple
bobbing- When the fun was over and
the landlord got down TO business. il
was early morning OF November !.

Newberry Wins Title As "Pride OF
The Profiteers."

Senator Newberry. Republican. Of Michi-
gan. whose election 10 the Senate cost
something like 100000. is proving that
he is worth vastly more than that to the
profiteers who are pushing and pulling for
the passage Of the Fordney McCumber
tariff bill. Several Republican Senators,
either through fear or fairness, have voted
against some OF the rates Of the bill, but
Mr.. Newbery has never deserted the big
interests.
Just as an example Of Senator New
berry's usefulness to special privilege may
be cited his record on forty-nine ballots.
He voted for the high rates Of the bill
forty-seven out Of the forty-nine times
and never once for reduction. On two
ballots he was grouped with those Sena-
tors mot voting"
In every instance Of these forty-nine
the opponents Of the exorbitant duties i'm
posed by the bill were seeking to have
them lowered Even some "standpatters'
registered themselves once in a while
against the iniquities Of the measure
but Mr.. Newberry not once in these tests
between the friends Of the people and the
supporters Of the big Cinch."
Senator Newberry is worthily the pride
OF the profiteers.
