1t is given out that Willim Ran
governor of New York William has
been candidate for office before
for the same office if we remember
rightly-but didn't get very far, and
would prove to be more popular
candidate now than he was then. In
fact Hearst and his newspapers don't
stand for the things which appeal to
the majority of Americans. If it were
not for Hearst's great wealth and his
newspapers, he would stand no
chance of gaining recognition of any
kind from the American public With
out wealth he would probably be a
cheap disturber in a small way and
nothing more.

Drastic measures are being resort
ed to by the treasury department
to speed up the collection of delin-
quent income and excess profits tax
es. The auditing of returns is being
greatly accelerated, and many mill
ions of dollars of overdue taxes are
pouring into the treasury as result.
Intentionally fraudulent returns are
being effectively dealt with. 1t has
become known that one large corpor-
alton has just paid 100000 as a pen
atty for rendering such a return, and
fine of $1,OO0,OO0 WIS levied against
another concern found to be $4,000
900 short in its payments, but it was
compromised when it was found the |
firm had recently been heavy los
er and had gone into other business.

The bank robber who was captured

tainly believe that there is a destiny
which shapes our ends" There were
all kinds of places that the letter
not have caused the bank robber any I
trouble. Instead, however, it went
directly to the place where it would
do the most good. We don't know
why and we doubt if Conan Doyle
knows.

Former President Wilson is warm II

5enacpr Reed Of Missouri for reelec
ion, The former president is not
particularly to be blamed for TINS OPP II

many who believed that he was in the |

Wilson program.
At a convention Of the hair dress
ng and beauty culture association,
Leld in Philadelphia this week, it was
Iecided that in all probability the
obbed hair is here to stay. The mem
ers of the convention are probably
light about it. There are a lot of
Kings here to stay, apparently, that
ot many years ago would not have

lat local organizations, with the

tify a railroad at this timo. The pro-

about IS miles and tap the richest
lands in this part OF the state. An

Newark, Della ware,
November 20, 1922.

November 20, 1922.
To the Editor of The Newark Post:
Mr.. Syud Hossains lecture delivered
in Wolf Hall last Saturday evening
was the cleverest piece of argument
for definite thesis l have heard or
read in many a day. There are, how
ever, certain matters which he should
have brought to his attention.
FIRST. Mr.. Syud Hossain should
be told that the Bible and H. G. Wells
are not as yet synonyms. He read his
three quotations from Mr.. Wells
Outline of History" with the full as
surance that he was reading some
thing which his audience was bound
to accept because Mr.. Wells was
raised under our system of civiliza-
tion. He forgot that Mr.. Wells is not
a Christian; he is a deist. His God
and the Christian God are as far
apart as the Christian God and the
Mohammedan God. In the next place,
although every historian has admit
ted that Mr.. Wells has pointed out a
new and valuable method of portray
ing and studying history, few his
