some of the splendid citizens of the
country have little regard for the
sanctuary of an oath. There is real
danger in the prevalent disregard of
law.
MANY persons who have regard for
other laws are flagrantly violating
the liquor laws, and making the ex-
cuse that their personal liberty has
been curtailed. This is most peculiar
in that in this country gives more
personal liberty than any other. Ger

BROOKHART'S REPLY
Takes Issue With Meredith, Claiming That Situation Regarding Oats and Corn Is Bad.

Minneapolis, July 30.-Senator s, W. Brookhart, in an interview yes terday took issue with E. T. Meredith, former secretary of agriculture on the agricultural situation by maintaining that the grain farmer is receiving less today for his crop than at any time in history, considering the purchasing power of the farmers dollar.
 Mir. Meredith in his statement given to The Associated Press Saturday. dis counted the slump in prices of wheat. He said this was offset by the higher price of oats and other grains.
 II want to say,e said Senator Brook hart, that the price situation as re- spects oats and corn and other grains is just as bad as wheat. Secretary Meredith has given credit to corn. He said that the price of corn is much higher than the price year ago.
 He is referring to S5 cent corn corn year ago that is not shrunken. When the new corn comes in it is shrunk and will be worth but about 50 cents a bushel."

Girl BatherS at Coney Appear in

New York, July BOA ban on bare legs existed at Coney Island. but the maids who splash fin the surf and parade on the sands have thought so all summer-and no policeman exert ed himself to tell them otherwise.
 Consequently the innocents have been wearing half-rolls right along until yesterday.
 A girl who had stepped out of a bathing suit poster paraded from end to end of the beach at midday. occa- sionally kicking her stockingless legs toward the Boardwalk.
 You poo rboobs," she shrugged before a group of be-stockinged dam sells, why do you wear 'em?''
 There is a law against going with out 'em" replied a freckled- faced girl. You'll be arrested if you don't watch out"
 "Is that so?" And the daring one continued her parade.
 Tt is true, MT. Policeman, that we don't have to wear 'em?" Freckle- Face called to Brass Buttons on the ',cehi A"oih, lioiuib5 oic VI tll up for inspection.
 The cop blushed as much as a Boardwalk cop can, and muttered:
 "All the same to me-"
 Then watch 'em come off," and Freckle-Face rolled 'em off before ad- miring scores.
 That was the beginning. Before dusk half the girls had discarded their stockings and others were wishing they had.
 'No-there's no law against bare legs at Coney Island," Police Capt. Gillen admitted. But the women thought there was"

GOVERNMENT COMMERCIAIIzED

One great trouble with government
today is that 1t is being commercial
lied. II is run too much as a pri-
vate enterprise. with the central
thought of getting the money.
OF course there is a cause for
that, as there is for all things. In
this instance the cause is that of too
much cost for running a government
and this cost must be met somehow.
Thereby lawmakers, national. state.
county and municipal, have that as
their test of fitness, their central and
moving thought, inventing and cen
irving means to raise more money
TO shovel into the Golfers of these
various grades, stages and kinds of
government, merely to be paid cut
again fer hosts of purposes OF nc
actual benefit to cnyDody-a mere
waste and debauchery of the Drawn
that conquered American wealth
from the earth.
Time there once was when human
effort went untaxed and when even
there were what amounted to subsi-
dies on intrepidity in human en-
deavor. Take the second greatest,
If not the greatest, document that
Abraham Lincoln yer signed his
name to, the homestead act, and what
was 1t but a premium hung up for
men bold and self-reliant enough to
go forth and claim 1t.
Today in every walk of life human
enterprise is penalized and taxed to
support the financial ~topheaviness OF
government. Men who thirty years
ago were peace officers, today ere IL
cense collectors. Taxes that thirty
years ago were five mills today are
five cents. 1t is money, money. money
everywhere, and no place more so
than in governmental the several
different and diversified forms of
government that tho American poo
pie have erected over their heads.
These things are not SO because
Of the late war or of any war. They
are so because 1t is the tendency OF
the times, because extravaganza
rules in government, more salaried
officers are being created. more sal
aries are being demanded and paid.
and those who are working for the
people for hire have cultivated ex-
travagant tastes and must have their
higher salaries or perish.
Never was a more philosophical
uttcrance having bearing hereon
than that of Thomas Jefferson when
he said that the least government
was the best government. Probably

ExCIuDING THE PRESS.

so Mr.. DOyle III the lutufe "puiu
exclude the press from the meetings
of the Ely Chamber of Commerce
with the exception of the Record and
the Ely Hard Times.
That's all right, Mr.. Doyle. Go
ahead and exclude. II is just what
it would be natural for a person Ike
you to say, but the White Pine News
which happens to constitute what
there would be left of the press of
Ely after your exceptions are made
will prophesy that you haven't the
nervc to go through with it.
The News predicts that this worse
than idle threat of yours will come
back to you and your following
many times within the next thirty
days, and believes that you will re-
alize, as you probably already do,
that in deliberately signing your
name 10 a statement containing
those words you have made the
worst break OF your not so tenderly
young life.
There is one Thing about Mr.
Doyle, highly as this newspaper re-
CARDS him as n citizen and in spite
of the fact that it has spoken favor
ably of him in print times running
into the hundreds, and that is to ac-
count for his attitude in everlast-
ingly volunteering advice about how
the News should be run. Admitting
that a newspaper is a quasi-publie
institution, the editor fails TO sec
how or to what extent it greatly diff
fers from any other business n that
respect. The News has never volun-
teered a word or suggestion about
how Mr.. Doyle's business should be
run and cares not how he runs it,
other than to hope that he runs 1t
profitably, deals with the public
fairly and in a manner to give Ely
a good name. There its interest
ceases, and if these things were the
,ther way the News would not feel
1t to be its duty to give Mr.. Doyle
street lectures on the subject or in
any manner whatever try to dictate
to him as to how his business should
be run. In short, it strikes the ed
itor of the News that the best way
for Mr.. Doyle TO do in the premises
is to get into the game and u a
newspaper after his W image; one
that would be above criticism and
would satisfy everybody. The field
is wide open-lots CT room right
here in Ely.
In that connection 1t might be
noted that Mr.. Doyle has given an
intimation of how he would run one
department of his paper. 1t would
he that pertaining to reporting the
Chamber of Commerce meetings. He
would not report them. He would
merely publish a little tete-a-tete,
pink-tea stuff, as the Hard Times
does, and follow its immortal ex-
ample to the further extent Of sup
pressing the things that are said and
done. Sameness is needed here above
all things. Let's have a Doyle news.
paper, correctly run-likc the Hard
Times.
