Preacher-Sheriff Leaves Pulpit.

An unusual case is presented in
Polk county, Iowa, where the office of
sheriff is held by a minister Of the
gospel Among the officers duties is
the execution of criminals to be
hanged. Of course, such occasions are
rare but this sheriff had two hangings
and thus found himself in dilemma.
If he hanged the convicted men while
holding a passionate he was sure to be
blamed, while his performance of the
disagreeable duty might reflect also
on his church. 1t was his duty to hang
the men and he had one of two things
to do-resign his office or the pulpit.
He resigned the pulpit.
This statement of the case is the
subject of comment among church pa
pers, which disagree. Some insist it
is the pastors duty as citizen to &C.
cept public responsibilities, while 9TH
ers assert his call to religious work
must occupy his full time. Whichever
is right no one will question the min
ister's decision is best. He could not
occupy both places and do justice to
either, and his choice is purely mat
ter of preference with himself. -Dear.

insult to the voters of Michigan.
There is no evidence that the money
spent for him or for Henry Ford was
used in a corrupt way, but largely in
publicity, for the information and not
the corruption Of voters.
Here is man who served his coun-
try in two wars, who is man of mod
est means, who has been member of

honorary degrees conferred on him
by one of the greatest colleges of the
country, whose private life is without
stain, and yet who is denounced as a
scalawag, just to make political CAPT.

We wonder if that sort of unfair
and un-American abuse is going to
profit the political pirates anything.
1t certainly is a peculiar state of af-
fairs when candidates for office must
use billingsgate against another to
further their own campaign. Let
candidates stand on their own merits.
This Newberry business is being en-
tirely overdone, and when the people
get the truth, it is going to react upon
the detractors, because the average
American man and woman intends to
be entirely fair and just.-St. Cloud

The TAXPAYER Will Paw.

Britain's first payment Of deferred
interest on her debt to this country,
amounting to more than four and a
half billions, will, it is officially an
nounced, be the sum of 25,O00,OOO
pounds sterling, roughly equivalent at
the old exchange value of sterling to
SIZE, 100000. Assurance comes from
London that arrangements have been
made for it's payment in the fall.
Actual covering of this cash into the
treasury will come like godsend to
the bonus advocates, as the sum would
much more than meet the first years
cash payments necessitated by the
bonus bill, which are estimated at
$75,OOO,OOO.
But this sum would also mare than
meet years interest on the entire
first issue Of the Liberty loan, so that
if the British money is diverted to 9TH
er purposes the interest will have to
come out of the pockets of the Ameri-
can Observation-Disclosures Bulletin.

Just Like the Pioneers.

The attempt of Sacramento to re-
store to the golden west some of the
Spartan virtues of the early days was
a successful bit of pioneering and has,
apparently, inspired other communi-
ties to take action against the effete
excresccncies of latter day. Sacra-
mento expressed it's admiration for the
bearded chins of the early settlers by
passing a city ordinance requiring all
adult males to refrain for a period
from the decadent practice Of shaving.
When the city was suitably bewhisk-
cred, great "days of '49" pageant
was held, the facial foliage was I'M
furled to the gentle breezes Of Cali
fornia, and every one felt suitably
rugged and sturdy.
Baker, Ore, has passed an ordinance
not unlike that of Sacramento, but
affecting clothing rather than counte-
nances. To be strictly law-abiding no
citizen of Baker may appear in public
wearing dude clothes of any descrip-
ton. Permissible articles of attire in
clude soft shirts with collars attached,
brocd-brimmed hats, overalls and cor
duroy trousers for the men and calico
dresses for the women. The greater
a Baker citizens local pride the harder
he will try to dress as did the pioneers
who first came to Oregon.

A New Fuel.

In new fuel the combustible part
of coal is conserved and the ash is
eliminated. It is believed that this
new fuel will find a market for the
poorer grades of coal and present new
opportunities to railroads and steam
ships which are dependent upon high
priced fuels. The new fuel may be
slowed dry or in plastic or semi-liquid
form and may be handled by conveyo1
or pump or fired by any automatic OF
mechanical device for firing coal
Tests prove it has AZ per cent steam
ing advantage over the best steamine
coal available at this time.

Why the Scoops" Are Growing.

Why the Scoops" Are Growing.
A farmer in Arkansas shipped a
large quantity of sweet potatoes this
spring. They were put up in hampers
and we're bought by regular commits
sion house. For each hamper Of pota-
toes the grower received SIS cents. In
one certain hamper the grower fas-
tened note addressed "To the Buyer
of This Hamper of Potatoes" asking
the buyer to write and tell what he
paid for it. In due time the grower
received a letter. It was from another
farmer in Kansas, who had bought
that particular hamper Of potatoes.
He paid $2.85 for it.
AS long as this kind of business ex-
lists there will be room for the eco
ops" in handling products from pro-
Queer to consumer. A spread of $3.50
on one hamper Of sweet potatoes may
be justified by the various agencies
that handle the goods. The commits
sion man must have his, the railroad
must take it's toll, the jobber must
get his rake-off and the retailer, of
course, must be allowed a profit, too.
But the fact remains that the spread
is too great.
The Scoops" have been gaining in
the last few years and the chances
are that they will continue to grow.
If big business can't adjust matters to
a point where everybody, including the
producer and consumer, will have a
fair show, then the producers may
have to take a larger hand. The
Scoops" route seems to be one way of
cutting down the spread.-Daily Okla

'Why Knock Congress?

1t scams to be favorite occupation
for certain writer's, also takers, to
knock congress for about every mag
Unable misdeed under the sun. Yet,
about everybody who gets within
reaching distance of a member strikes
him for favc1-from garden seeds
to public buildings. This is not
consistent. Stop asking favors or else
stop knocking. Also remember that
a congressman has only twenty-four
hours a day like other mortals, yet
they are expected to do everything all
at once. Some more inconsistency.
And, in the effort to satisfy their de-
mands, while more fortunate mortals
are riding about evenings in automo-
biles, cur legislators arc sweltering
these hot nights under that great
white dome trying to readjust an I'M
balanced world, make laws, fix tariff
rates to satisfy opposing interests,
gratifying a lot of grouchy constitu-
ents and lot of people who arc not
constituents, and some more.
And one party, who refers to her
self as among the "uninitiated," has a
fling for the immense salaries they
are paid. She certainly is not initial
ed if she thinks that the salary re-
ceived repays them for leaving their
homes and neglecting private bust
ness to grind here in Washington
practically all the year round. A man.
to get elected to congress, especially
the senate, has business interests in
his home city; he is lawyer, banker
or something of the sort, and of con-
siderable standing.
The American people do not elect
tramps and Migrants to congress-; can
didates are not elected from the poor
house. So, the average congressman
even of the lower house, generally
loses money-also comfort-by leav-
ing his home and business. I know OF
one member of the lower house from
small city out west whose law prac
tice at home is worth $4,000 year.
Why does he come to congress, these
critics may ask? I have wondered
often myself how we get men willing
to go through this losing ordeal. Some
do it for the excitement of being il
public life, some for prestige, an(
some from sense of plain, honest du
ty to the nation.
I see where noted English writer
has refused a nomination for parlia
ment because he doesn't see why h,
should slave for his constituents ant
stand for abuse when he can MAKE
more money writing books. If every
body felt that way we would have no
body to make laws for US.
So be fair and square. Even a con
gresham is human; he needs littl
encouragement on his weary wa!
these hot days. Besides, it is a disre
spect to the nation at large to spea]
disrespectfully of it's lawmakers VIII
have habitually been elected by tn,
people. We are being urged to hav'
respect for the laws; the first step i
