A TAINTED TOGA

Under the law of the land the re-
ceiver of stolen goods is criminal,
as well as the thief who stole them.
BY the decision of majority of
the members of the United States
senate excessive campaign expendi-
lures are dangerous to the perpetu-
ity of a free government, but the re-
eeiver of toga purchased by such
expenditures is an honorable gentle
man entitled to a seat in that au-
gust body.
Apparently 46 of the members of
the senate. including Miles Poindex-
ter, subscribe TO the doctrine that
while it is unlawful for a man to
buy seat in the senate by excessive
campaign expenditures, ii is perfect
ly proper for him TO accept seat
bought by his friends or hackers.
This flimsy distinction will be
hailed with peans of JOY by the prac-
teal politicians In future, when
ever they want to elect any candidate
to the senate, all they will have to do
is to pack him off to Europe or South
America during the campaign, spend
all the money they can raise to fur
ther his interests and then bring him
home TO accept the office they have
purchased for him. He, of course,
will be expected TO follow the lead
of Newberry and be properly sur
prised and shocked On learning what
a large sum Of money had been ex-
pended in his behalf without his
knowledge or consent, but not too
shocked to accept the purchased
toga.
Friends of Newberry win be
pleased TO learn that he has so com
pletely rallied from his shock as 10
give out statement that he accepts
the action of the senate in seating
him as "A complete vindication of
myself and ALL CONCERNED. -

FORCED TO TAKE WATER;
SOON GREW TO LIKE 1T

Jack Bentley. veteran engineer on
the O.-W r. & N, Colfax to Mos
COW, waxed reminiscent the other
day and told story of early day
excitement in Pullman that will like
ly be remembered by other old-timers.
Jack pulled his first train through
Pullman 80 years ago, soon after the
Pullman branch was established. A
few years later he pulled into Pull
man and observed a large crowd of
excited citizens in the rear of where
the Pullman laundry now stands.
His schedule at that time was more
or less of his own making and he
decided to "tie up his train while
he investigated the cause of the
hilarity. AS he started from the sta
ton he was startled TO see smaller
group of men coming down Grand
street toward the larger group. Com
ing closer he discovered, to his hor-
ror, that the men had a long rope
struggling men, both prominent and
respected citizens of Pullman was
encircled by neat hangman's moose
in either end of the rope.
At once the engineer saw visions
of lynching party and he rushed
madly to the group, demonstrating
and begging that the two men be
given a fair trial before being exc
cutcG His pleadings were unavail-
ing, however, and the group moved
on, with Jack in the rear, deter
mined to see the party at any rate.
Arriving at the place where the
larger group stood he discovered
flowing artesian well, with it's wa
ter gushing high into the air. The
two men at the ends of the rope
were commanded to partake of the
pure water. Both protested vigor-
ously, urging that they knew what
the water was and were glad that
another artesian we'll had been
struck, despite the fact that Pull
man had her full quota of saloons,
but beseeching their captors not to
force them to drink Of it, The shock
to their stomachs, they maintained,
might prove fatal, and the city need
ed them to assist in its making,
Threats and pleadings proved I'M
availing, however, and the two re-
spected citizens were forced to drink
copiously of the pure water.
Old-timers claimed that it was the
first water the pair had tasted since
they came to Pullman, but they soon
learned to like it, and finally to take
it regularly.
The Herald refrains from mention
ing names Suffice it to say that
both were potent factors in the shap-
ing of Pullmans early history and
numbered among her most progress
i've citizens. But one of the two
lives to read this recounting of the
story some 80 years after the oc-
currence.

HITCHING GROUND VS.. AUTO
PARK

Do the business men Of Pullman
care more about the comfort and
convenience of auto tourists passing
through the city on pleasure bent,
than they do about the comfort and
convenience of the farmers residing
in this district and coming to this
city to purchase supplies or transact
business?
This query is prompted by the fact
that the chamber of commerce has
devoted much time and attention and
some money to fixing up and improv-
ing an auto park for the use of tour
lists, but has done nothing beyond
talking about providing a hitching
place for the use of farmers who
drive to town by horse power. This
matter was discussed by the chamber
several months ago and referred to
the city council but apparently no
definite action has been taken.
1t is all right to provide accommo-
datlons for tourists travelling by mo-
tor, but it is far more important to
provide accommodations for the local
farmers travelling by horse power.
The result of existing conditions is
that the auto tourists pass on and
may or may not say a good word for
IC
spend their money here, go home and
cuss because no suitable place is pro-
vided where they can hitch and water
their horses.
Before any further attention is de-
voted to or any more money is spent
on improving the city auto park the
business men should see to it that
suitable hitching and watering ia
cilities are provided for the farmers
when they come to town with horses.
The trade and good will of one farm
er living in this community is worth
more to Pullman than the trade and
good will of all the auto tourists who
stop in the park for a night or two
and then proceed on their way. No
one can blame the farmers for feel
ing aggrieved when they read the re-
ports of the frequent discussions of
the chamber of commerce regarding
proposed improvements of and ex-
penditures on the auto park, but look
in vain for any action taken on their
perfectly reasonable petition that
place be provided where they can
hitch and water their horses,
There are several vacant lots in the
city we'll adapted for hitching place
and it would not take a great deal
of money to fix up some shelter
sheds where the farmers could leave
their horses in stormy weather. This
improvement for the benefit of the
local farmers should take precedence
over any further improvement for the
benefit of auto tourists. The cham
Der of commerce will act wisely by
deferring any further discussion or
Improvement of the auto park until
a convenient and adequate hitchng
place has been provided
Home farmers deserve more con-
sideration than tourists and horses
deserve better accommodations than
automobiles.

for 3 days the mercury did not reg

THE FARMER CANNOT BUY

We are experiencing hard times
because the farmer cannot buy this
season. Politicians are complaining
Of the Agricultural Bloc in the
senate. One has gone so far as to in
troduce a bill forbidding membership
in such a bloc under heavy penalties.
Fears are expressed that the persis-
tence Of unrelieved conditions in the
agricultural communities, and the
effects 0 fthese conditions on our in
dustrial communities, will at the next
election make votes against the party
in power
The farmer cannot buy because he
is busy paying for things which he
bought last year at exorbitant prices
and in liquidating loans which he con
traeted during 1920, when there
seemed to be no limit to the rise of
prices for his products. So the farm
er cannot become an active purchas-
err of the manufacturer products
until after another harvest, and not
then unless prices improve.
Looked at squarely, is there not
something preposterous in the exist
ing situation? The one industry
which has kept its production at nor
NAL finds itself in the greatest en-
barrassment. The farmer did not
curtail his operations in the spring
of 1921. His fields were as fertile
and extensive as ever. He owned
his equipment and the supply of la
Dor had even been augmented and
improved by employment conditions
in the cities which had brought his
sons back to the farm. He stopped
talking and went to work; but he
succeeded only in cutting the price
for his products in half.
Plainly, there can be no business
revival until agricultural prices i'm
prove. Summing up the report Of
the Joint Commission of Agricul-
tural Inquiry appointed by congress
early in the summer, President Har-
ding. in his message, finds it rather
shocking 80. that 100000 bales
of cotton will actually be worth more
to the producer than 100000
bales would have been, and that
100000 600 bushels of wheat will
bring more money. than billion
bushels And he adds that such
condition is sure to indict the So
cial system which makes it possible. y
Professor David Friday, of the
University of Michigan, while recog-
nizing that the farmer is right in
his assertion of an inter-dependence
between the purchasing power of the
agricultural community and the sales
of the manufacturer. suggests that it
is not so certain that causation be-
gins at the agricultural end.
SO Professor Friday comes to the
conclusion that the restoration of
prosperity in this country depends
on an improvement in the European
situation--an improvement impossi-
BILE without American help. "The
American farmer and the American
manufacturer depend upon each 9TH
err. But the American farmer is tied
to the European price level by the
fact that he produces for export
The strange thing is that neither
president nor professor seems to
realize that the outstanding feature
of the economic system which the
situation indicts is the gold-based
monetary mechanism that lends it
self to the juggling of gamblers in
values at the expense of honest pro-
ducers, both agricultural and manu-
facturing.-The Dearborn indie

Which is more
Important?

THE AVERAGE MAN can hardly
sleep If he remembers that his build
ings, stock Of goods, or other property
that fire could destroy Is not adequate
ly covered by fire insurance which
may POSSIBLY burn, but he can and
does sleep like a log, or rather like a
dead man, when he knows that his life
is inadequately insured or not insured
at all. and if he thinks at all he knows
that he is SURE TO DIE, and that
when he does the mortgage on his
home is sure to be foreclosed and his
wife and helpless children turned out
to face the world. or II there Is no
mortgage that they will be deprived OF
many comforts and privileges that he
takes pride in supplying while with
| them. He never seems to realize that
death does not wipe out his obligation
to protect his family any more than 1t
eliminates his obligation to pay his
honest debts, especially those that are
| secured Now which kind Of insur-
| ance is the more important?
GOOD Fire Insurance is fine thing
| to have, if needed, but costs money.
MUTUAL BENEFIT Life Insurance Is
a better thing to have and is sure to
| be needed, and does not cost money.
Ask us to show you why 1t does not
cost money any more than depositing
money in bank does. Also ask us to
show you why it has no competition.

If the prophecy OF Capt. Frederick

holiday arranged at the Washington
