A Draft on the Sultan.
Especial to the Pillar by Geo. Potgeter, Mayor
of Steamboat Rock, Iowa.
BILL MAHONEY, the local R R. Agent, tells
good one on grain man. This grain man
had to borrow money at the bank to keep go
ing. He couldn't pay his notes when they fell
due, so the banker says to him one day that he
would have to take care of them for a short
time at least until the bank examiner had
made his rounds. The examiner arrived and
found the notes still there, SO had the grain
man summoned into the bank. When told he
had to settle them up he drew a sight draft on
the Sultan Of Turkey for $1,000 and paid the
Eotes all up. He whispered to the banker that
by the time the draft came back protested the
examiner would be gone and then the notes
could be renewed. About month later the
draft came back PAID, the following note at

Canadian fields is threatened for
April l. Robert Livett, chairman of
the scale committee of the United

new wage scale. The operators is
sued statement that new rates to
be in effect after April l would show
wage decreases running from 80 TO

exceptions.
"If the operators are sincere in
their proposal TO enforce the scale
they have submitted TO u.s." Mr.. Liv

That business conditions in general

and that this section is regaining its
commercial status is the view CLEANED
from the reports from local railroads
who report an increase in both passen-
ger and freight movements during the

Perhaps ii is just the tendency
for more activity that comes with

Adams of the Santa Fe. I'VE have al
ways experienced more or less increase
in both freight and passenger service
at this time Of the year than in Jan
uary."
Enthusiasm is written all over the
statement of the oklahoma. New Mex

the passenger activities have not eX-
perienced an unusual hike it is said
I'VE are enjoying a far better freight
service than at this time last year.

seemed to be at a standstill, is loos-

RECENT SCANDALS OF
HARDING ADMINISTRATION

At the rate of w..'ch they arc
breaking, the scandals OF the Harding
Administration promise 20 outnumber
those of all his Republ. an predeces-
sors for generation.
The Daughterty-Feldo Morse scan
dal, thoroughly exploited by the daily
press. can be properly classified as
one of the scandals of the Republi-
an administration. Attorney Gener-
al Daugherty was the personal selec-
ton of President Harding and was
Senator Harding's pre-convention
campaign manager.
In recalling the New, cry scandal
it will be remembered that Senator
Newberry was personal friend and
social favorite of President Harding: !:
that the two men indicted with New
berry were appointment by President
Harding to be United States district
attorneys in Michigan; that the ap-
polntment of the notorious Nat Gold
stein was made in the face of. general
public knowledge of his connection
with the Lowden primary slush fund :;
that President Harding in the public
prints endorsed the leasing of the
last naval oil reserves to subsidiaries
of the Standard Oil tru It, although
these leases were made 3ecretly and
had to be ferreted out by the vigilant
John B. Kendrick, Senator from
Wyoming; that President Harding
has never yet explained his whole
sale discharge of age and trusted
employees in the Bureau of Ensrav-
ing and Printing, nor has he done any
thing to lift the cloud he placed upon
the lives of these men and women
who had won preferment in the gov
ernment service by long and efficient
service.
The foregoing takes no account of
the manner in which the President
has trampled upon the principle and
policy of the Civil Service, nor of his
many bad minor appointments.
