Employers Family II at Large,
Carrying Dynamite sticks.
By tia Associated Press.

By TIA ASsocfatod PYesG
TEMPLEToN. Mass. May 3i.--
After three days OF search Edward
Savage, q farmland accused by John
Merkell. his employer. Of trying to
poison the Merkell family and live
stock and to blow him up with dyna-
mite, was still at large today with
ten sticks Of the explosive. Members
Of the state constabulary continued
their combing OF the woods in an ef-
fort to find him. Special police were
on guard at the Merkell home.
It was feared that Savage, biding
his time while he lived on food taken
with him when he fed, would make
an attack on the Merkell farmhouse
at the first opportunity. He was said
to be experienced in the use OF
dynamite.
The police were told by the Mer-
kells that the farmland was an un-
successful suitor for the hand OF q
relative in Northampton. Discovery
that Savage was not as well or az he
pretended resulted in the marriage
being called off. they said. hence his
enmity.

PUBLIC FORUM
PROPERTY AND TAXATION

Judging from an article in last
Record, our Honorable Lieutenant
Governor Cummings is somewhat
worried because he thinks some men
have too much money. 1t seems to us
that his statements make thinks look
one-sided. We are surprised that the
Record would pass such an article
without challenge. The Hon. Cover
nor makes SOEe statements, the truth
of which remains to be proven. One
man has as good a right to mere
opinion as another, and we venture
that his statement that so per cent of
the population owns 65 per cent OF
the wealth of the country" is only an
opinion We don't believe the state>
ment, and would like to know how
the conclusion is arrived at. 1t is
easy to say that men own, so and so,
but do they really own it? One man
can own a certain amount of proper
ty and look after it himself; beyond
that his biggest privilege is to say it
is his, and pay the taxes.
Take for example the Marshall Field
building to which he refers; if Mar
shall Field were alive, what could he
do with the building by himself alone?
many people with him in the owner
ship of the property, or employ
great many at wages. If the proper
ty is owned by share holders, there
will be widows and orphans among
the many who will receive income
from it. Either in the case of share
holders or employees, the property is
practically distributed.
1t is true in regard to all large
properties. What could Mr.. Rookie
Teller do with his great property if it
were not for the army of employees
They all get their living, and that is
about all Mr.. Rockefeller gets, and
he can't take the property with him
on the long journey.
Thus through shares, wages, in
come and inheritance taxes, the large
properties are constantly being dis
tributed, but it seems they are not dis
tributed fast enough to satisfy some
people. | would like to know, in case
Mr. Hon. Cummings had money, if he
would chance putting it into manu-
featuring at this time? 1t takes
brave man to do it in the face of the
present handicap of organized labor,
and taxation. We predict that if the
distributing process is accentuated, a
great many of these men will give up
the battle and then foreign countries
will manufacture our supplies and
sell us what they can. They will not
have any too good market at that
for agriculture, losing it's home mar
ket will be impoverished. Such a
condition may not be reached, as our
government may be too wise to allow
it.
Hon. Cummings is worrying about
millionaires. l am glad to live in a
country that can make millionaires,
and l wish there were more of them
There are none in Russia at the pres
ent time, that l know of, and none in
the desert country of Northern Afri-

THE YOUNGER GENERATION

Every generation criticizeS it's
daughters and praises its mothers,
forgetting that the mother of today
is the f1apper of yesterday. One thing
and one thing only, is sure about
youth-that it cannot remain youth
full. Even while we are criticizing its
follies. Nature slips up and lays
upon it's shoulders the burdens of
marriage and parenthood. Business
fastens upon it's dancing feet the
manacles of routine. The youngsters
whom we criticized in 1914, when this
outcry began, are already settled tax
pears, sitting around the fire at night
and grumbling about Congress. Their
sound common sense asserted itself
in the end, ana would perhaps have
been in evidence sooner had not our
criticism made them self-conscious.
Selected.

The glory of our country is the right
and privilege of the individual to
achieve for himself. Our danger line
in class legislation, paternalism, any
thing that destroys incentive IN large
sections Of the population.
Government as President Harding
said, in his speech at Plymouth last
summer is for the purpose of giving
every man a chance, not to bring up
great strong men on the bottle.
Let us do away with pessimism and
go to Work,-with our hands if we
have nothing else. One thing we can
acquire; if we can't get what the
world calls wealth; we can accumu-
late character and a reputation for
integrity.
One thing regarding such men as
Marshall Field; they were temperate
and industrious, and you can bet your
last dollar, they did not expend any
of their thought force, or nerve force,
in worrying about what some other
man, or class Of men had.
We have only one life force to ex-
pend, and while we are foolishly vast
ing our time in fault finding and envy
ing, the real men, who have their
eyes to the front, get ahead of us.
We wish to commend most heartily,
the advice of our old friend Sol. Levi
tan, also published in last week s
Herald. Many years ago, when the
writer was acting as station agent at
New Glarus, Green County, and Sol.
had department store, we were
often together. Sol liked to play a
few games of checkers when the days
work was done. We have only one
grudge against him; he always beat,
but the young man who follows his
advice, at this time, will never be
beaten in the game of life.
Finally my brothers, don't be dis
couraged. Our country is not going
to the dogs. We can not expect any
thing but period of close times af-
ter such a war, which was not of our
own making, but which we practical
ly ended. We have the best govern
ment in the world. This propaganda
on the part of certain leaders who
would teach otherwise, is for the pur-
pose of winning the votes of the dis
contented and disloyal, nothing more.
