SHOOTING AT GRAFTERS OR DEMO

CRATSIhc Republican administration has
announced plans for prosecuting alleged war
eraf'ers who are charged with stealing %5,OOOOOO
Of the American peoples money in padded war
camp contracts and other crookedness during war
time days.
That sounds good, coming from Repub-
ican administration, and may be sincere effort
20 bring the worst thieves in all history to lust
punis, fnent
Another thing must be considered however in
Canra'2ns OF any kind launched by partisan
government such as the one in Washineton--it
may he big grandstand play for purely political
effect lle war was fought under Democratic
administration and anything the Republicans can
do Ia d'str'dit the Wilson administration will help
urn 20" dc of Democratic popularity and swell
the Republican vote totals in the next presidential
election.
II the Attorney General Daugherty is really
shooting at war graters, the people OF the United
States, from Ben Hill County to the farthest cor
ner oi Alaska. will rise up and cheer him on. The
frookS who stole from the government under the
Pr'se ut patriotism while America was At war
should be locked in the deepest dunpeon Amcr-
cas- prisons hold.
tut 1t Attorney General Daugherty is lust try
'ng to dig up some more mud to sling at the VII
son administration, he will assurcdlv be found ont
an" MS TICK II 1t should prove to be trick, will
tai. And Daugherty, sad to say. has better rem
citation Tor trckcry than he has for honest puh,;c
service.

THE GOULD RECORD IS IMPROVED

1F1E GOOLD REOORO 10 1MHNONED-
When Magistrate Bruce w. Cobb Of New York
City, sent to prison Frank NJ Gould, a son OF Ed
win Gould, for open and wlfu violation of the
laws against automobile speeding he performed
public service, though it did involve the hunilat-
ing experience of fingerprinting the young million
aire.
For once the court gave demonstration of the
TACT that the law is not always rcspecter of large
fortunes.
The only satisfaction that can come to young
Gould is that he has upheld the family tradition of
keeping his name before the public.
The first notable episode came to his distinguish
ed grandfather, Jay Gould, who was compelled to
hide himself in the old Grand Opera House to
avoid an Infatuated mob gathered outside in dan
gerous objection to certain financial operations.
George Could the son began his publicity with
the Zca Ncolaus disclosures, and has brought it
up to date by his latest matrimonial sensation.
The exploits OF Anna Could with her funny lit
tie Count Castcllanc, too recent date to need
discussion
Now, seemingly, the third generation jealous of
the family propensity for public notice, intends to
eep the Gould name to the fore
The incident OF sending Gould to Jail might
lot be worthy Of notice save for the fact that per-
who by wealth position are so eminently
conspicuous owe greater duty to society than the
smaller fry, and are expected to set something OF
example at least so far as obeying the law is
concerned.
When they flout the rules of orderly society,
then Jail sentence is a splendid corrective

Ike to see this custom revived by some OF our va

TN two hundred dollars properly expended, cV-

BOTH OF THE OtO PARTIES
ARE AFTER DAUGH Fly
New Progressive Bloc in Congress Is
Lining Up to Press Impeachment
Charges
Especial for Leader Enterprise
By EDWARD PERCY HOWARD
Autocaster Service. Washington

Right on the heels of an open at
tack on Attorney General Daugherty
by Representative Oscar Z. Keller,
Of Minnesota, and Representative
Woodruff of Michigan, announcing
that these gentlemen intend to press
to conclusion the House impeach-
ment charges approved in formal
House resolution arraigning the At
torney General, Mr.. Daugherty has
written a letter to Representati'c Vol
stead asking that copy of III In
ges be supplied so that he nl'y IL.
in bringing the charges to head.
Keller and Woodruff, backed by
Representative Royal c. Johnson, OF
South Dakota, openly allege that the
Attorney General has sat firmly on
,he war fraud lid, that he has failed
TO prosecute fragrant cases of alleged
robbery of the government of prod
ding and that no amount OF prodding,
seemingly, will get him to function
in the courts against those who are
accused of frauds running even into
the millions.
They state that the election returns
show a determination on the part of
the people to samp on graf and cor
Tuption in government, and that the
nation is not getting any aid along
this line from the Department of
Justice. They contend that evidence
of war frauds has been in the hands
OF thet department more than two
Years.
This inactivity On the part of Mr..
Daugherty is not due to lack of evil
dence," says Representative Keller, in
written statement Experienced
prosecutors have declared that in
many cases the evidence is sufficient
to proceed to trial without further in
vestigation. Mr.. Daugherty him
self more than year ago officially
stated that he was in possession of
evidence sufficient to establish Grim
nal conspiracy in a case involving
millions of dollars. Attorney General
Daugherty has not yet presented this
case TO Grand Jury or instituted
civil suit for the recovery of stolen
money.
From time to time Mr.. Daugherty
has widely proclaimed his intention
to take action against the war grafters
but whenever public indignation has
flared up because of his inaction, he
has attempted to cool it off with more
promises"

WOMEN'S RIGHTS BAR PRIVILEGES

Shall women and have their rights and special
privileges at the same time? Opponents of wo-
mans suffrage used to hold that they could not,
and now by a recent ruling of the Court of APP
pcals of the District OF Columbia former mini
mum wage law for women is held invalid on the
groonds that equality in the commercial world
with men now makes women no longer entitled to
special protection such as this law was designed to
afford. The case will be carried to the Supreme
Court and on that decision all laws of exclusive
privilege to women will hereafter be sustained or
else eliminated

President Harding's 40 ID. Thanks
giving turkey was sent by motor truck
this year from the same Harding girls
club OF Morris Co., Packers as sent
the aviators turkey of last year by
airplane and dressed it i'll sweater and
goggles to make the gift more unique.
A demonstration of the fact that
a mishap will call person into publ
city more easily than many years OF
mcritorious conduct is seen in the III
start heralding of a case of tardiness-
by Sam Overstreet of Savannah
schools, after a perfect punctuality
record OF II yHars. Most of lis would.
never have known that Sammie was
such a model school boy but for his
laose. Now isn't that just like life in
the big world too? Asked how it
| happened, Sam said he wanted to
know how it felt to be tardy. This
incident recalls the fact that at least
one of our high school boys made a
perfect attendance record in Fitz-Hi,.
and that was David Paulk. our faithful
city clerk, who was cited at the time
OF his graduation for having been
neither tardy or absent during his
high school course of four years, and
for some tame preceding that.

An actress of world wide fame as
lavish dresser spending more than $780,
COO ayear on her own wardrobe as.
serted in recent interview on the
subject of dress that good taste was
more important than expenditure and
Tor business women there were but
three essentials and these were sim
plicity, simplicity, simplicity. The
words of this woman Cecile Sorel of
Paris, have the, more weight as she
has been queen in her own world of
beauty, fashion and dress, for more
han so years and still retains her
vivacity and charm and also the beauty
that art has aided Nature in keeping
intact, and added to this the wit and
! wisdom that experience has given her.
DRESS, she says, is important be-.
cause it creates the first impression,
of woman's personality" Before.
she speaks a single word, before she
smiles even, her dress is saying some
thing pleasant or unpleasant to the.
beholder. Later one discovers the vir-
tues but at first glance one sees only
the dress. True it is but the surface.
but how many people never penetrate
below the surface of anything?"
