There in peace the angels dwell,

Another important fact Is that the
country Ia on the edge OF a boom. In
dustries are revivinS their activities
and this brings a demand for new
money. Private Industries usually are
willing 10 pay higher interest rates
than the Government cares TO pay and
therefore there will be A tendency for
these private companies 70 bid the

There Is no war pressure now to bring

TO fOregO private profits and put his

treasury must go into the money mar

Following the advice Of Attorney
General Daugherty'~ is Offered by
Frederick Edwards 'of Huntington,
w. Va, as his: excuse in his state by
spending $4,000 in his campaign
for the Republican, nomination for
United States senator, Edwards has
been fined $1,000 and disfranchised
for three years by Judge p. E. Math-
.ews Of the common pleas court of
West Virginia.
This emulation Of Newberry and
acceptance of the legal opinions Of
President Harding's attorney general
have already cost Edwards consid-
cradle fortune in addition to the for
feiture of his citizenship. but he an
nounces that he is about to make an
attack in the courts on the consti-
.tutionality Of the act under: which
he was convicted. His attorney has
already moved an appeal to the state
supreme court.
II was given to understand by At
torney General Daugherty in WASH
ington that the Newberry case had
settled the corrupt practices act and
that had nothing to fear so Tong as
my expenditures were not-of a cor
rupt nature,"' Edwards said to a
newspaper correspondent. II expend-
ed more money than that state seems
to have permitted, and I do not deny
it., I have no apologies to make, and
I will accept any verdict that the
court Directs .
In addition to defeat, fine and.
disfranchisement, Edwards suffered
a betrayal Of his political interests
and a misappropriation of about
$59,00o of his money, according to
his attorney, John S. Marcum.
After stating that an accounting
had been made by some of Edwards
managers Of $37,500 of his campaign
fund, Judge Marcum said: -
'The remainder Of the $4,000 was
given to a group Of political leaders
to organize the northern congression-
al districts and the, farmers for Ed
wards. and investigation by some of
his friends have failed to disclose.
that the money was expended for
the purpose, intended" =.
