Frank Russians

"HE Russians are frank in their
speech. For instance, the
i United States proposes to send
a commission to Russia to investi-
gate conditions and find out how
BOLSHEVIK government is run.
It would be a critical commission,
of course. vs. =
Russia replies: "We have no OBJ
lection, if you will allow us to
send a commission to Washington
to find out how PLUTOCRATIC
government is run" ~
Long ago, when Woodrow Will
son was President, and the Bolshe-
visit government was young, the
Russian Secretary for Foreign AZ
fairs wrote to President Wilson
in substance as follows. ".You
don't like our Government, and
think that some of us should be in
Jail. We, on our part, don't like
your Government. We think that
you and Debs, who is in Jail, should
change places"
1t is such frankness as this that
may be partly responsible for the
fact that the United States did
what it could to crush Russia and
pile up Russian enmity against
this country in the early days Of
Lenin's rule.

Don't Hate Us, Cuba

THE Cuban newspaper, La Ma
cion, urges "hatred of the
i United States as a new relig-
ion in Cuba"
Many in Cuba do feel very bit
ter toward us, and they have rea-
sons. We gave them their lib
erty from Spain. But, PROFITS
are important as we'll as liberty.
Recently we tried to bully Cuba
into cutting down her sugar crops,
which represent most of the ma
tional wealth. And now we put a
duty on Cuban cane sugar that
probably means ruin to many
Cubans.
However, dear Nacion, remember
that there is no profit in hatred.
1t poisons the blood, paralyzes the
mind and makes you unfit for busi-
ness.
. In the very ancient days of
newspaper work, when the New
York Sun attacked Joseph Pulitzer
of the World viciously, calling him
"the wandering jew" it was sug-
gested to Pulitzer by this writer
that he should make a real fight
against the Sun. The old man 3 re-
ply was Brisbane, Brisbane, if
you really want to hurt the Sun,
just do all you can to increase the
circulation of the World"
There was wisdom in that. The
Sun has had four different owners
since those words we're spoken.

100 Years

4 N old gentleman in Freeport,
~ ILL.,, celebrating his one hun
= . dredth birthday, says any
body could equal his age record,
as follows: g.. ~ .... ,a.s.
Don't burn the candle at both
ends, Danish worry, eat plain food,
get plenty of sleep.
This old gentleman, by the way,
has smoked tobacco for eighty
eight years, but does not attribute
his long life to tobacco. T. ,...-.,..
The fact is that anybody, if he
could really "banish worry" which
kills majority Of prosperous peo-
pie, as well as many of the poor,
could live to be hundred. The
normal life of man is at least one
hundred and forty-four years, and
living to one hundred would be
easy enough if men would begin
early. Cornaro did it, starting af-
ter, forty, when he was given up to
die, as a result of foolish excesses.
He was past ninety when he
wrote his last book, and rode horse
back daily, mounting unaided.
The majority of us begin trying
to live long when it is too late.
Save your heart, nerves and lungs
early, and you will be working at
one hundred, not merely reminis-
cling. ..

Wanted, Special
Potato Car

THE northern part of New
Jersey will ship this year
i $4,000 carloads of potatoes.
The railroads. are asking, "What
is the best kind of car for potato
shipmentsY'
On 14,000 carloads the railroads
will make money; there is never
any dad crop" year for RAIL
ROADS.
And on the $4,000 carloads the
farmers will make nothing, and
many of them will lose at the prices
that rule. Later in the winter,
when the middlemen have got them,
potatoes will sell at price that
would have been highly profitable
to the farmers.
No wonder farm bloc" exists;
it is needed.
The railroads wonder what would
be the best car for shipping pota-
toes. Here are two answers:
. First, you might try car sepa-
! rated into horizontal tiers. with
Just height enough for one bag
Of potatoes, the tiers being suspend
ed on springs to give elasticity.
That would prevent brrising and
decay, especially in early potatoes
with thin skins.
As a second suggestion. initiate
Henry Ford, when he promised his
dealers "a Ford car with starter"
long ago.
When they asked to see the self
starter there wasn't any. Ford
said to the convention, I've cut
the price $25. You will find that y
a pretty good self-starter.
If the railroads would produce
freight car with a lower freight
rate the farmers would fiud that
an excellent conveyance.
|. P. S.-The suspension of potato
car tiers or shelves on light hinges
would be inexpensive. Perfect
elasticity could be obtained with
ventilation. The great weight of
the car prevents the use of truck
springs of sufficient delicacy.

Something to Think About

England has a poet laureate:

as our crop Of poets Is rather
low Just now, I'll have to do the
best I can for him in prose.
Ills name Is Edward Lau-

man who was in a maudiing
condition and bothering people
on the sidewalk. In court, the
magistrate perfunctorily fined
the prisoner IS. The alternative
was five days in the lookup.
The prisoner did not have IS
and the five days would have
cost him his employment.
The policeman asked to be
permitted to pay his fine. The
magistrate-his name Is Nc
Quade-was dumfounded. When
he learned that the police
man had never seen the
prisoner before and had not the
slightest interest in him and
was only offering to pay the
fine in order to save him from
losing his position, he remitted
the penalty, discharged the pris-
oner and complimented the
policeman upon his kind-heart.

safe to say no staff could have been
selected who were better qualified by
their legal attainments and by their
particular experience and knowledge
of the war graft situation.
Never in the history of the Depart
ment of Justice have the antitrust
laws been so vigorously prosecuted as
first time Jail sentences were imposed
as a punishment for violation of the
Sherman Antitrust Act in the case
of United States VS.. Alexander Reed,
ct al. The department at this time
has under investigation more than so
cases of alleged violations of the An
Thrust Act and has pending in the
courts 26 such cases. Since March
4, 1921, the Attorney Generals Of
fee has won 100 cases in the United
States Supreme Court and lost Al. In
that time it has tried 166 suits in
the various United States Courts and
won 10. The department has been
very successful in defending the gov
eminent in the United States Court
of Claims where litigation has greatly
increased as a result of war con-
tracts and tax cases. Twenty suits
were decided in this court on June
IL, in which the Attorney Generals
department appeared for the govern
ment. In these 20 cases the govern
ment sued for the aggregate of &c.
619,693. The total of the amounts
allowed was only $533,365.
This, in brief, is an outline of some of
the more important activities of the
Department of Justice since March 4,
1921. An enormous amount of work
has been performed and every branch
of the judicial service is character
lied by energy, intelligence and dis
patch. The record of the department
under the present administration not
only reflects great credit upon Attor-
ney General Daugherty and President
Harding, but it inspires confidence
and respect of our people everywhere
in the courts and in those in whom
the responsibility and power of adj
ministering the law is invested. It
will remind our people that this 10

The activities and accomplishments
of the Department Of Justice during
the past Is months comprise the most
successful record that department has
made since it's establishment. The
largest amount of business in the his
tory of that department has been
transacted for the current year on
less money than was appropriated for
the preceding year.
Averitable avalanche of business was
clogging the dockets in nearly every
United States District Court and new
cases being entered in unprecedented
numbers when Attorney General
Daugherty took charge of the Depart
ment of Justice March 4, 1921. He
found the department disorganized.
1t was necessary to make survey not
only of his own force but of the vari-
GUS cases pending in the several Unit
ed States Courts throughout the coun-
try. This gigantic task was acom-
plished with thoroughness and dis
patch.
Early in his incumbency Attorney
General Daugherty began an investiga-
ton Of the so-called War Fraud cases.
After he had thoroughly surveyed the
situation and he and his staff were
ready to proceed he asked for an APP
preparation of half a million dollars to
enable him to employ additional and
competent special attorneys to con-
duct the actual work of grand jury in
vestigation and prosecution. The men
whom he selected for this task are
skilled lawyers: Former Senator
Charles S. Thomas, of Colorado,
Democrat who was conspicuous in the
