MORE CHEERING NEWS
FROM THE BERRY PATCH

Our wandering Governors adven-

we have the testimony of G. w. Eb-
binghaus, the farmer who chased our
screen-struck Executive and his bunch
of satellites who were trampling down
his berry vines. Ebbinghaus speaks
out like the manly American citizen
he is and his statement is remark
ably refreshing when compared to the
sickening babblings of some state pay

his office at his own sweet will and
substituted sort of cZar-like court

A FEW FACTS FOR VOTERS

AS the primary is where the voters
decide who they wish to fill the va
rious posts of public duty, every voter
should attend and help select the best
candidate available for every place to
be filled. With the primary less than
two months away it is not too early
to consider candidates, especially for
the state offices. After the primary
it is too late to complain of "the men
who run for office" Go to the pri-
mary and register your opinion when
it will have some effect.
If you do not attend the primary
and vote FOR your candidate, the re-
suit is, you vote by default for the
other fellow.

REPUBLICAN GOLD BRICK
NEGROES ON APPROPRIATION
FOR LINCOLN UNIVERSITY

Friends of Lincoln University were
disappointed Tuesday when decision
was handed down by the Supreme
Court in which it was held that the
appropriation of 100000 for the pur-
pose of erecting new buildings and
charging the scope of the institution
had been held unconstitutional in an
opinion by Judge Edward Higbee,
which was concurred in by other
members of the court.
The case was taken to court by the
Board of Curators of Lincoln Univer-
sity in a suit against Auditor Geo. E.
Hackmann, to determine whether or
not the $500,000 was available.
Auditor Hackman contended that a
clause in the appropriation providing
that the money be taken from "any
money in the state school fund which
was not otherwise appropriated, was
not constitutional"
The court held that an appropria-
ton from the state school cannot be
made for Lincoln any more than it
can be for one of the five State Teach
ers' Colleges.
The opinion of Judge Higbee held
that Lincoln may secure its funds
from the state school fund if made a
part of the University of Missouri
but not as a separate institution. All
money provided for Lincoln must come
from the general revenue.
The decision yesterday has nothing
to do with an appropriation of approx
imately $3.50, 900 for Lincoln Institute
and for the erection of 100000 dor
mitory for boys.
President Clement Richardson, Of
Lincoln, said last night he is at a loss
to understand how the phrase, which
resulted in the law being declared I'M
constitutional, crept into the bill.
There are some leaders among the
colored people of the city who feel
that it was not intended that the
money should be made available and
that passage of the measure was only
spreading sorghum to catch votes
Bids were received recently for the
construction of the dormitory some
days ago but none were accepted be-
cause they exceed the estimate.
There is no indication here as to
who will be selected as the successor
for President Richardson who was not
reelected because he did rot make
political speeches"

GOV. SMALL'S ACQUITTAL

An extremely spectacular chapter in
the history of Illinois ended with the
acquittal Of Gov. Len Small by jury
at Waukegan. Irregularities enough
were shown at the trial in the han
ding of public money for which Mr.
Small, as State Treasurer, had re-
sponsibility to the people. Sums run
ming into the millions were deposited
with a moribund banking institution
of limited resources and were imme-
diately lent to Chicago packing firms.
The borrowers of the state money
paid as high as per cent for its use.
The State Treasury received but
about per cent.
Somebody must-hav profited enor-
mously from this questionable man
agement of trust funds, but while the
prosecution established many of the
allegations specified in the indictment,
the case as made out in court fell
short of the grand jury's findings on
this one point. 1t failed to show that
Mr.. Small had profted personally;
failed to trace into his hands any of
the huge sums representing the differ
ence between interest at the per cent
which was paid and interest at &he 2
per cent which the state receivd, and,
of course, that was the vital point in
the case. Who did get the money? A
moral accountability undoubtedly ex-
lists for such handling of the peoples
money as will serve the best interests
of the people. AS to the difference
shown to that accountability, the pub
lie is still entitled to its opinion. The
jury's verdict must, of course, be ac-
cepted as settling the issue of legal
accountability.
Probably Gov. Small does not exag.
gerate in describing the handicaps il

resulting from the criminal charge

LASKER PASSES JUDGMENT
ON OUR PATRIOTISM

The insolent, evasive and quibbling
reply of Chairman Lasker to charge
that the United States government is
Bookkeeping liquor on the high seas,
is an insult to every American citizen
regardless of whether or not he fav-
ored the enactment of the Eighteenth
amendment and the Volstead act. 1t
is bad enough for the Harding ap-
pointee to try to shift responsibility
for the course he has taken to pre-
vious administration; it is still worse
for him to set himself up as self
constitutional judge to pass on the
patriotism of the American people and
to find that they are lacking in this
all important quality necessary to
American citizenship. Here are Mr..
Lasker's exact words:
$50 long as Great Britain, Japan,
France, Germany and other nations
continue to serve liquor to American
passengers, | am ashamed to state
that my experience leads me to be-
lieve that there is sufficient number
of Americans, without proper pride
in their own ships, that would divert
their trade to the foreign flags to the
extent that the competition would be,
from a profiteering standpoint, very
heavily against American ships.
Who is this man Lasker that he can
issue broadside indictment against
the patriotism of the American peo-
pie? Who gave this man Lasker the
right to pass on our patriotism and
set him up to grieve because We are
not good American citizens? Who ev-
er heard of Lasker until the muddling
way in which he conducted the affairs
of the Shipping Board coupled his
name with monthly announcements OF
Shipping Board deficits? Where does
Lasker get any right to question our
patriotism and to express shame be-
cause of our lack of it?
Never before in the history OF
America has 2 x 4 petty govern
ment official had the brazen effrontery
to indict a whole nation for its lack
of patriotism. Better men than Las
ker have had occasion to plumb the
patriotism of America to its very
depths and find it sound. The ragged
soldiers who followed Washington al
Valley Forge, our fathers who sprane
to arms at Lincoln's first call, the
boys of today who went through Q
thousand hells in the Argonne that
American ideals might prevail, theil
fathers and mothers and sisters who
STAYED at home and worked and sac.
rificed and prayed-all these testify
to our patriotism and hurl the lies OF
Lasker to his teeth.
And yet the President of the Unit.
ed States of America, the man in
whose hands we placed the destinies
of our nation. has seen no reason to
remove Lasker from office or to rep
rimand him for his arrogant insult to
the American people.
Lasker still remains as head Of the
United States Shipping Board and
Lasker still is entrusted with the task
of restoring the flag of America to
the Seven Seas. HIS job is a great
one and 1t calls for the complete Co

Pattee FavOrs Milk
Union for All \. T.
Continued from Page ID


that such a union will be able to
market all the milk that the farm
ers raise and can save money in
transporting it.
Under present conditions there
are periodically vast amounts of
Surplus" milk. This is milk for
which there is no market at the
regular price because the milk
dealers are limited in their mar
keting facilities. They accept the
Surplus" milk at reduced price.
The amount of milk that the far
mer is obliged to dispose of as
surplus" at the reduced price
brings down the average price at
which ghe sells all his milk. 1t Is
the surplus" often times that
spoils the farmers profit and dis
courages him from increasing his
herds. 1t is the bone of conten-
ton between farmers and the milk
distributing agencies, the factor in
the milk business which has been
he~greatest single cause Of unrest
and complaint. If surplus" could
be abolished, it might not be i'm
probable that the farmer could ac-
cept a lower price for his milk and
still secure for his product more
real money than he is now getting.
In regard to the claim which
Mr.. Pattee advances for saving in
transportation, it would appear
, that this an entirely reasonable
expectation. He cites the instance
of two actual shipments of milk
to the Boston and the Providence
markets which illustrates the
waste under the present system.
There is a daily shipment of a
carload of milk from Bangor, Me,
| to Providence, r. l., 200 miles.
There is also a daily shipment of
a carload from Putnam, Ct, not
| far from Providence, to Boston, If
one big milk union were running
the New England business, Nh.
Pattee thinks the southern Con-
necticut carload could be transfer
red from the Boston market to the
nearby Providence market and the
carload which now goes from Ban
gor right past Boston to Provi-
dence could just Us well stop at
Boston and be distributed there.
This looks like a meIitorious sug-
gestion.
The success of Mr.. Pattee's pro
posal, the organization Of which
he is the spokesman is preparing
to try out, would depend, in the
long run, on the efficiency and
fairness with which it is executed.
1t is no mean task to cooperate
10000 New England farmers. It
requires, on the part of the promo
tiers, volume of ability and far
sightedness that is not ordinarily
found in co-orcrativc enterprises.
But the tendency of the times is
to do more busiHess by compro-
misc than by conflict.
