Three years ago a lawyer bought
$4,000 German marks at seven and
a half cents apiece. Paying for
which, he sent SIPS to bankers in
Bremen, Germany. Recently he
wrote to the bank to inquire about
his investment. The BANK, answer
ing, informed him that his account
with them was balanced" the pres
ent value of his marks barely COW
Sering the postage on their reply to
him.
The lawyer, realizing that his
case is one of many, probably is
wondering how much indemnity has
been similarly collected by cheat
en-" Germany.

Gus Howard says that until he
takes a notion the public can't
know about this matter. Every
body knows the truth now and
if the man ever offers to handle
any other campaign or run for an
office he will soon find out what
the public knows. AS for US, if
we had a case in his court and
somebody was suing us we OBJ
jeet to his trying it on the
grounds Latham kicked on, he
might split the fees. No man
viii ever feel that he got justice
in Howard's court and he ought
to get out. His keeness to split
fees would make man afraid that
he would split decisions if it re-
acted in his favor. He may be
as honest as the day is long but
he viii never be able to make
the folks believe it and his court
will be useless so far as satisfy
ing any ones sense of Justice.
Nor will Governor Walker salts
~ anybody that believes in clean
politics unless he asks for How
ards resignation. - cambridge
