Gently organized with a view of assist.
ing the farmers and stockmen of the
state, telling of the benefits to be
derived through the use of this med.
ium when financial assistance is de-
sired.
The talk was most interesting and
instructive to everyone, especially TO
the large number of farmers who were
present. Mr.. Hay was one of the faith.
ers of the plan which resulted in the
organization of the Joint Stock Land

1t Isn't Your Town
It's You

a subscriber sends in the following
anonymous poem. with a request for
its publication:
II you want TO live in the kind Of a
town
That's the kind OF n town you like,
You needn't slip your clothes in a
grip
And start or a long. long hike.
You'll find elsewhere what you left
behind,
For there's nothing that's really new.
It's n knock at yourself when you
knock your town.
1t isn't our town; it's you.
Real towns arc not made by men
afraid
Lest somebody else gets ahead.
When everyone works and nobody
shirks
You can raise a town from the dead
And IL while you make your personal
stake
Your neighbor can make one. too,
Your town will be what you want fl
to be,
1t isn't your town; It's you.

vice is always punished and virtue re-
warded. The crime IS visibly and
wildly enacted, and to the perverted
mind it suggests a joyous lawlessnass.
This also is a factor. One who is a
moralist as well as a penologist finds
a great contributing AUS OF GRIMM
al increase in the lo~osening Of the old
restraints upon women-not necessar-
sly in the sense that more women are
committing crimes, but in this, tina,
their demands upon the men about
them, their Indictment of their male
companions to extravaganza. their in
creaslng scorn of the youth who has
not money to spend freely. result in
theft and violence in order thai their
inordinate demands may be met. I'm
doubleday there is also something in
this. There is even an increase of di.
rect feminine criminality. We note
that the commitments to the Bedford
Female Reformatory in New York
have lately increased considerably, and
that fifty young women, sentenced for
offences. lately arrived at thai institu-
ton singing gaily. as II they were on a
Joyous lark. Women generally have
attained a g freedom from the old
moral restraints, and thousands of,
them make an Ill use OF 1t.
StIl another and a large element in
the situation is the removal of old re
straints from the foreign born arriv-
ing in this country, or the first gen.
Grafton born in the country. At home
these people wero under a stern law
of their own. whose penalties in indi.
vidual cases were loss of caste, and
loss of all opportunity. In his coun-
try they are suddenly freed from this
law. and they have not yet come unde
the American law of self-restraint.
At the same time they find themselves
In a and where money is flush and
The. moneyless poorly esteemed. To
get money seems to them the only
d~esideratum. and they gather from
the yellow journals which they read
that it does not make much difference
how they get the money. Americans
in public life and society are pictured
to them as a race of robbers. They
find themselves melted to do likewise.
They engage in crime. Notably they
help on the wave
Perhaps, on the whole, the wonder
is not that we nave a wave of crime,
but that we have not a greater one"

Basic Decisions

NOT UNTIL the truck operator shall contribute
A' bis due proportion to the cost of highway con
%struction and maintenance can his right to use the
highway be considered equal to that of the ordi-
nary taxpayer. This is the conclusion of the pub
recently rendered.
The Colorado commission further held that
through abuse of the highways by inadequately
taxed buses and trucks "the 1896 passenger car
owners of the state are grievously wronged" and
"the farmer and the city home owner pay the bills"
In a similar decision June IA, 1921, the Public
Service Commission of Pennsylvania declared pub
lie interest would immeasurably suffer- if auto
lines were permitted to engage in destructive com
petition with railroads that were providing rea-
sonably adequate service to their territories.
The Pennsylvania commission in a decision
March 16, 1921, refusing to permit an auto truck
line parallel an electric railway, pointed out that
the proposed competition would mean either in
creased rates or impaired service for patrons of
the electric line.
These decisions are important because they en-
unciate first principles relating to regulation and
taxation of highway carriers and have a vital
bearing on conditions in every western state today.

The Clean

By many a path of rose.
BY many a fountain bright.
\ highborn Spirit goes,
Led on by mystic light;
Yet never. never finds
Whence comes its mighty stream
The fate of noble minds
That follow far the CLEAN.
In Thebes her kin were lords.
And kings in Babylon;
In Athens were the swords
That fought at Marathon:
And they were knights of Rome.
Centurions of Tyre.
Who brought their booty home
In chariots of fire.
For they were kings of Art.
OF Music and of Song.
With dreams of mind and heart
That urged the world along.
And still their spirit goes
A-questing day and night.
By many n patti, Of rose,
And many a mountain height.

Williams Mania
HEURoPEAN WORD is that wilma,

european WORD is that William Hohen.
- zollern now has a mania for religion notes
the journal of Commerce. "He always had it.
AS primate of the Lutheran State Church of Prus,
STA his crazy theology made his associates mourn.
Before. war began in 1914 he had given evidence of
many religious delusions, one of which was his be,
lief that he was about the only living man auth
orized to deliver to mankind the orders of divinity.
Many German statesmen--particularly those of
Prussia. had nothing but contempt for religions
convictions; but all were fond of using them to
strengthen their control of the people.
But William was a real believer of the absurd
proposition that he alone was sufficiently intimate
with God to be His only commissioned spokesman
IN matters of faith. At the same time he ALWAYS
warped his religious communications into harmony
with his faith in the sword as the most potential
instrument of his good German Cod in the con.
version of the world to his peculiar bloody and bru-
tai culture.
Now, in the twilight of his career, with power
gone and control of mighty human forces in other
hands, he turns to prayer and religious literature.
giving gloomy consideration to the forms of wor.
ship which he once sought to divert to himself"

The Dukes Are Fearful

I'VE read that the English dukes
are viewing the economic situation in
their country with grave alarm
notes the Kansas City Star. 1--WE
gather from some of the things they
ave been saying that they seriously
a~pprehend that IL England keeps on
the way she is going she will soon be
unable to afford the luxury Of dukes
at all.
Even now. we believe, there are
only some 80 dukes left in all Britain.
from which It, will be seer that If
the country doesn't want TO run out
of this commodity completely It is
high time 1t adopted some measures
for their conservation. England is
doing nothing at all in that direction
at present. in fact IL she has a ducal
policy at all 1t seems to be of an OPP
posite character. The dukes are be.
ing taxed literally to death. for one
Of their chief complaints is against
what the British cal death duties, or
Inheritance taxes as we would say.
Thus h dukes not only are having
great difficulty in living, but they
can't even afford to die.
"Of course. Britain would not be
wholly without a nobility even IL the
last duke should be sacrificed to the
needs of the national budget. There
would still be left severe vigorous
orders which are much better able
to stand modern economic pressure
than the dukes are. For one thing
the barons. ~viscounts and earls are
much closer to the sources of produc-
ton. many of them being from the
ranks of the commercial class, and
wealthy in other things than blood.
The dukes have only blood. mostly.
But h question is, as the dukes
view it. can England get along with
only barons, viscounts and earls? The
historians tell us there was a time
perhaps more than one-when Eng
land did, in fact, run out of dukes.
They were pretty we'll exterminated
by that regrettable unpleasantness
that sprang up between the houses of
York and Lancaster. but the fact that
England laid in a fresh supply as
DON as possible sufficiently shows
hat she realized the danger Of being
without them.
IF we understand the dukes pres
emit troubles they are tied up with too
much land and too many castls and
country houses that yield no income
or not more than the government
takes for itselt-and have nothing to
live IN. The duke of Portland re

ton as to the cause of what we know

Transcript. els there such a thing as

OF sentences for crime. are misleading.

Local Police Attach Another House
Robbery to William Kellum, This
Being the Fourth To Be
Charged To Him.

About Christmas time someone
broke into the home of Charles Hafer
N the east end of the city and stole
therefrom rifle and a shot gun. This
robbery was committed about the
same time a series of other robberies
were committed. Three of those other
robberies have been laid by the police
to William Kellum, who was recently
arrested in Cincinnati and Tuesday
Chief Mackey and Policeman Carpen-
'er clinched the nail on the fourth
theft and charged Kellum with it.
Chief Mackey and Officer Carpenter
have both been working very hard on
this series of robberies and they are
be congratulated upon the success
their efforts have met.
Several days ago, Chief Mackey To-
cnted what he thought was one of the
stolen Hafer guns in Lewis county
and Tuesday morning Officer Carpen-
ter and Mr.. Hafcr went to Concord T.
lcok at the gun. At about 3 O'Clock
tuesday afternoon officer Carpenter
alephoned to Chief Mackey that they
nd located the gun and that Mr.. Ha-
'er had completely identified It as
his.
The officers say they have proof
hat Kellum sold the gun to the Lewis
county man with whom it was located.

SCHOOL DISTRICT TRAFFIC
SIGNS ARE NEEDED.

Considerable complain has been
filed recently with the police against
automobile speeding in the local
school districts endangering the stu
dents OF the schools. Some several
months ago traffic signs for the school
and hospital districts were ordered by
the city officials but they have never
arrived. The present city officials
should look into this matter immed!-
ately and have the warnings installed
In places that all auto drivers may be
warned. Following the installation OF
these signs, that section OF the traffic
laws requiring speed to be reduced In
such districts should be enforced.
