PRINTING! BUREAU
FIGHT DEPLORED

Washington, April 4.-The re-
cent dismissal of upwards OF thlr-
ty officials Of the bureau Of en-
craving and printing by President
Harding involved no desire to re-
fleet upon the character of any
government employe, it was said
today by Secretary Christian.
In a letter to John j. DeVlny'
one of the dismissed executives
Mr.. Christian declared the presi-
dent regretted that 'fnsinuating
publicity" had attended the dis
missal order and indicated that a
statement broadly covering the
whole incident might be made
later at the White House.

Mr.. Bowles Tries to Buy
a Newspapers Support For
Patterson For Senator

you must ask yourself how you
would feel IL Mr.. Bowles asked
you IL you were in the habit of
double-crossing your clients. If
you are a physician, you must ask
yourself how you would feel If
Mr.. Bowles suggested that you be-
tray to him the secrets Of the sick
chamber. If you are man or wo
man Of honor, you must know
how l felt when Mr.. Bowles stat
ed, quite distinctly, that he would
buy $1,000 worth OF advertising
in the News if the News would
support Senator Patterson.
But you must not make the
mistake that I made, Of getting
angry at Mr.. Bowles, but you
must remember that Mr.. Bowles
is not journalist, but only a
business man, and he didn't know
any better.
1t has been my observation that
most very rich men have money
brains, but no other kind, and
when they inject themselves Into
politics, for example, as in their
colossal vanity they are often
fond Of doing, they commit stup-
ldities. But it Is silly to get mad.
1t hurts the digestion.
What | said to Mr.. Bowles is
not important. He told me, when
realization finally came to him
that he had blundered, he was
glad the policy Of the News was
not for sale.
What" l asked, "is your in
terest in the candidacy of Senator
Patterson
II am" said Mr.. Bowles, with
unction, as you perhaps know,
one of the largest taxpayers in
this city. l tell my friends, We
have got to swallow this here in
come tax whether we like 1t or
not. Why blink it? If we must
take it-and it's in the cards
let's have it the way we want it;
not the way the radicals want
it, That's what say to my
friends"
"And how, Mr.. Bowles, do you
want it," l asked.
The shipbuilder whacked my
desk with a clenched fist.
"a flat rate!" he shouted.
None of your gosh-darned grad
uated taxes!"
And that is why Mr.. Bowles,
the shipbuilder, Is for Senator Pat
terson for governor. / am not
angry at Mr.. Bowles now. | am
grateful to him. He has helped
me make up my mind.

WILLARD DENIES
M'ADOO CHARGES

| Washington, April 4.-Figures

traffic in 1918 than In 1917,
were cited by Daniel Willard,
president of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railway company, before the
senate interstate commerce COM
mittee today to refute the recent
testimony Of William G. McAdoo,
former director general Of rail-
roads, to the effect that the roads
had been run down in the latter
year before being placed under
government control. Mr.. Willard
appeared at resumption of the
committees investigation into the
general railroad situation.
Asserting he was unable "to
find anything in the record to
Justify the statement that the
railroads in this country have ever
broken down, either before, dur
ing or since federal control" Mr..
Willard declared the "serious sit
uation" which developed under
the war loan of 1917 might rather
be attributed to a failure II not
break down of our system of
railroad regulation as then In ef-
feet"
Rapidly mounting operating ex-
penses in 1917 were proving a
serious financial problem for
many Of the roads, he said, be-
cause under the law they were
unable to advance their rates
permission from the inter
state commerce commission.
"The commission" he asserted,
did not seem willing (perhaps did
not feel authorized under the law
to deal with the matter with such
promptness and liberality as the
situation, in my opinion, de-
manded."

Nevertheless, / have been forced
to the conclusion that, altho he Is
a pleasant man, a fine and a good
man, he would NOT make a good

In the first place, 1t was
brought to my attention that A.
l.. Mills, president of the First
National bank, is actively support
ing Senator Patterson.
1t occurred to me that, probably,
| IL knew Mills reasons for being
for Patterson, would be against
him for the same reasons. Still,
reflected, perhaps Senator Pat
terson is unfortunate In his sup
porters Just as President Wilson
was unhappy because he had a
champion In Colonel Harvey.
SO | withheld judgment, and
made further inquiries.
1t seemed to me that every bank
president In Portland was for

or they sent emissaries to me, as |
suppose they did to other news

governor Patterson would make.

SMALL TOWN
STUFF

When the mass meeting at Idaho
Falls had voted against further po-
tato inspection, Joe Taylor, the po-
tato king, rushed to the telegraph
office and sent very disrespectful
telegram to Commissioner of Agri-
culture Miles Cannon at Boise. The
telegram was bubling over with ex-
ultation and insult, and closed with
the expression, "how do you like it?"
Such things are remarks Of people
who feel their power and are not
the marks Of people who have the
right on their side and are satisfied
for the right to triumph. When Mr..
Taylor, the potato king, wrote that
telegram, which he evidently found
much pleasure in spreading over the
state thru the columns of the press,
he stamped his operation as small
town stuff "'
The immediate result of his &C.
tivities were that In what is known
as potato alley at Idaho Falls the
day after the mass meeting there
were no potatoes changing hands.
The market was like q deserted vii
lage. 1t Immediately became ap-
parent that nobody thought it worth
while to ship potatoes that were not
inspeced and business was paralyzed
temporarily.

BEWARE OF FOOLISH
FADS

AS part Of great adjustment fol-
lowing the world war, people got
adventurous notions about dressing
in order to bring prices down. One
was for woman to quit buying ex-
pensive goods for dresses and go to
wearing the simple things. Some
young women set that idea going by
walking down Broadway, New York,
attired in simple Bingham dress.
1t was taken up by the newspapers
and heralded thruout the country,
and others followed her example.
On the mems part, they got the
idea of wearing overalls. The news
napers spread the matter over the
nation and men working in Offices
got the idea that they could help
adjust the prices of wool and cotton
by wearing overalls. Men in all
kinds of office work from governors
down appeared in overalls and the
only visible affect of that nationwide
movement was to increase the de-
mand for overalls and to have the
nrice go up again. It made an I'M
natural and an unhealthy demand
fer oyeralls. The scarcity of over
alls made by sudden demand caused
he dealers to ship in quantities Of
them by express at higher expense
and the demand on the factory

speeded up the work Of making over
alls until the fad broke like soap
bubble and then there were factories
that were overstocked.
1t was a foolish fad upon the
mems part for every man accustomed
to office work knows that overalls
are not built to make convenient at
tire for that kind of work. II peo-
pie discarded permanently the idea
Of locks, ttero woIiG So. ToI.al:
the fact that overalls are unsuitable
and inconvenient for office work and
1t was proven by the fact that men
discarded them within a few days
and the craze for overalls was over.
1t would be interesting to look
into the wardrobes Of the men who
stocked up with overalls at that time
to find new overalls there that had
been scarcely broke in to wear.

SCHOOL BOARD HAS
IT'S PROBLEMS

The Blackfoot school board long
ago adopted the rule that no adver-
Using should be distributed at hte
school. AS the years ran along they
turned down many applications Tor
the privilege of doing things at the
school that were really educational,
vet had an advertising value for
somebody, and there were many diff
ficult cases to decide.
A local firm engaged in selling
y musical instruments asked for the
use of the high school auditorium
in which to give a free musical en-
tertainment to show what their in
strument and their record could do
in reproducing the human voice.
One Of the singers came and stood
beside the instrument and demon
strated that the mechanical repro
duction was so perfect that the audi
ence could not discern the difference
without watching the singer, and
when the lights were shut of and
she was singing, she vanished and
left the instrument singing and when
the lights were turned on again the
audience was astonished to find that
they had been fooled by the perfec-
ton Of the instrument and could not
detect the change from the living
singer to the mechanical singer.
These were wonderful demonstra-
lions, given free to packed house,
and it seemed a very proper thing to
do to open and heat and light the
school building for such fine edu-
cational treat as that. But there
are other Arms that handle other
instruments that reproduce the hui
man voice from records, and there
were other evenings when they might
