THE WINNERS

The men who reach the highest

around their faces and say the
luck might be much worse. OF men
whose fame is now immortal,
vast percentage started poor; and
not for them did fortune market
chortle, when they set forth dead
broke. obscure. They had hard
knocks and kicks and bruises, and
they remarked when doing lame,
in lifes grim race the faint heart
quits as roads grow rougher, and
to the skies their walls ascend; the
fellows built to strive and suffer
press on and reach the journeys
end. The faintest lads are often
gifted, they we'll might win some
prizes gay; but in hard luck their
hands are lifted and they surren-
der right away. How many poets,
angel-throated. have missed the
fame that might be theirs, be-
cause their rhymes were voted too

many painters are forgotten and
planted under grassy knolls, be-
cause some said their work was rot

BODY OF LITTLE FERGUSON
BOY FOUND

The body of the little nine year
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Ferguson
who drowned in Plum Greek. was
discovered by the searchers last
Saturday. thirteen days after he
fell into the swollen stream nea,
his home.
The search had continued since
the day of the accident, and many
thought that the body had beeA
swept down the stream and iGto
the Cheyenne river. Last Saturday
after returning from dinner, }. q.
Daniels, of this city, an uncle OF
the boy. stepped into a tank which
had been left in the stream for
about an hour, and the body rolled
out from underneath it. 1t is thot
that the body had been lodged in
the mud, and the tank which was
left in the narrow current changed
the force of the water so that it
was released during the short time
the searchers were absent. The
point where the body was found
was about one mile below the
scene of the accident.
The remains were brought to
the Schimke undertaking parlors
in Philip. and the funeral held on
last Sunday.

In his fourth effort to win the
republican nomination for COVER

to defeat at the state primaries
on Tuesday. The returns are not
all in but the indications point to
a vote Of two to one for Governor

At the time this was written
the returns received showed that
out Of 81 precincts in the state
Governor McMaster had 1906 to
26.9S0 for Egan. Late Tuesday
night the returns showed that Me
Master had 10000 votes to 21000
for Egan. The later figures show
that McMastcr is gaining as the
returns come in and il seems safe
to say that he viii have two votes

Upon the early returns it looked
as though Egan had carried sew

tions seem to have cut this down
to perhaps three. Minehaha, Me

son they are disposed 10 nail them down
to definite promises.
Some Of the bonus Senators were en-
couraged to-day by the notice that the
British commission to fund the war debt
due this country has been appointed, and
they argue that fund will soon be avail
able to help defray the bonus raid.
However. that assumption Is considered
fallacious by financial experts OF the
Government. who point out that the
commission does not plan to come to ..,is
country before September and the nego-
tiations will consume much time. Then
it may be agreed that payments are to
be started at some subsequent time. At
any rate, when the money Is forthcoming
II will be needed by the Treasury T'e-
partment to redeem Victory notes and
Liberty bonds falling due next year.
There is no denying that the two
parties are sparring for advantage over
the bonus issue. For the time, however.
the measure is sleeping quietly on the
Senate calendar and its fate rests largely
with President Harding.

question and relieve the anxiety and

They make no secret of their belief
that the President will stand by his ul-

a sales tax. The only alternative he
suggested was postponement of the lag-

Democratic Senators approached the
Republican leaders to-day and sought as
surance that after the tariff bill is out

brought before the Senate and kept there
until disposed Of.
While the Senate is on record for that
program, bonus Senators on the Demo-
cratic side are inclined to believe late
political developments will cause the
Senate leaders to revise their plans.
Democratic Senator's who conferred

Amusing MIslnformation.

The rush of French journalists to

which the now historic gathering in

THE wAsrAoE FROM FIRE.

Monthly FIRE losses throughout the
country tell their own story Of the great
amount of property that goes I'D in
smoke for various reasons. many Of
which are entirely preventable. When,
however. It is declared by President
Mallalieu Of the National Fire Protection
association that there was wasted ST.
oOO, ooo, 900 in this country during the
last two years because of fires 1t is suf
hcIent to cause most people to pause
and take into consideration what part,
If any, they had in piling up that stu
pendcus amount, or what part, If any,
they are liable to have in connection
with future fire losses because Of prac-
tees to which they are accustomed.
This great waste in the past two years
was to a certain degree avoidable. 1t
would have been possible to have pre-
vented much of it but it calls for the
devotion of attention to the fire haz-
ards, the elimination Of the conditions
and invite quick and disastrous rres and
the checking of carelessness.
Fire prevention measures such as are
frequently urged by Chief Stanton Of
this city, the surveys of the hazardous
districts that are made by the depart
ment and the adequate equipment for
dealing with fires when they do occur
haven't made fires impossible in Nor
wlch but they have done much to keep
down the number and the seriousness
OF them. It is the giving Of just such
needed attention to the work Of proven
ticn and the better means Of fighting
fires that has given Norwich the class

WAR CONTRACT SCANDALS.

When It is reported by, the attorney
general that there are something like
ESQ contracts totalling 1892, 900, 900
investigation, 1t cannot impress con-
gress that ne IS asking for an exorbi-
tant sum when he seeks a half million
dollars to meet the expense Of inquiry
and prosecution.
These contracts have to do with the
war supplies fer which this country ne
gotiated and regarding which there has
been found TO bs good and sufficient
reason why the government should give
careful attention to them and the
amounts collected or claimed thereun-
der.
At such a time It is fully appreciated
that higher prices are paid for imme-
diate service than would be the case
under normal conditions. But when It
Is maintained that the government has
been bled to the tune Of such sums as
have been mentioned It is time that
something was done to establish the
facts in the case, find out whether
there Is any justification for charges
that have been made and proceed to
prosecute If warranted or extend exon
Grafton If that is called for.
Light is the best thing that can be
provided for scandals. If the attorney
general simply lacks funds to turn Il
on and recover the losses they should
be furnished. It should prove a good
investment If It only goes to show thai
the government isn't always an easy
mark.
