BURGLARS GET $35
LEWISTON POSTOFFICE

Burglars last Thursday night made
an unsuccessful attempt to loot the
safe at the Lewiston postoffice, burn
ing the vault doors with acetylene
torches The safe was not attacked
and the burglars got but $50 in war
savings stamps, the property of Post
master R. M. Coburn, and some en-
ployees' security bonds.
That the safe was not attacked is
believed due to the gas supply being
exhausted or the early approach OF
daylight
When a postoffice attendant reached
the office at 6 a. m. the room was
filled with smoke. The tanks used
for supplying the torch were stolen
from the Vandyke foundry.

This Week
High Wages--Cood Times
A Real Radiogram
To Hang for an Idea
McAdoO, Johnson and Ford
By Arthur Brisbane

What makes the United States pros
porous? Answer: high wages.
/ Cytroen, the greatest French manu-
facturer of automobiles, says every
body in France ought to have his own
automobile. The trouble is: SIN Amer
lea the workman, saving one days
pay per week, can buy an automobile
with the money at the end of a year.
In France it would take Frenchman's
entire salary for two years."
If you want good crop, put water
and fertilizer ON the land. If yon
want prosperous country, put good
wages In the pockets of those who
work.
1t all comes back to the big people
ten dollars for one.
If you are a radio enthusiast, and
understand such things, you will be
interested in the latest announcement.
A message, receiving its only impulse
on this side of the ocean, made the
trip of 5000 miles to Warsaw and back
twenty times, total distaIice of 360,-
600 miles. That is almost twice as
far as light and electricity travel in
one second. 1t amazes us now. We
see it, and work it, and know nothing
about 1T. Some day we'll send mes
sages to outside suns, ending with
please answer" knowing that at 1885,
600 miles a second the answer will not
be back in time for our grandchildren
to read it.
Eugene V. Debs says prison didn't
brighten him. Right now he would
'hang for an idea" That's noble,
once in a while, although you must
first be sure that your idea is sound.
For one man hanged for a good idea,
ten thousand have been hanged for
ideas thoroughly bad.
If you have a sound idea, don't hang
for it. Publish it, repeat it, persuade
others to accept it. Voltaire opposed
torture of witnesses, breaking every
miserable judge in one famous case,
after fight of many years. He de-
fed Frederick the Great and greater
powers, and finally died peacefully in
his bed, nearly So years old, rich in
money, adored by the people that drew
his carriage through the streets. He
showed the right way to deal with
an idea. That was better than poor
John Brown, of Harpers Ferry, never
living to see anything accomplished.
1t takes one kind of ability to
chang" for an idea, and it takes a
higher kind to convert or hang those
that oppose the idea when it is right.
McAdoo lets it be known that he
is in the race for president. Of course
he is, being the most conspicuous DEM
ocratic candidate.
Hiram Johnson will be in the ring
also. This is a free for al, and Hi
ram Johnson probably can get more
votes in presidential primaries than
any other Republican. Albert Lasker
will work for Johnson as he did for
Harding. He's a first class dynamo.
One of Mr.. Ford's secretaries says
he wouldn't accept the nomination for
the presidency. But it isn't Liebold,
the real secretary, and probably does
nj mean much.
Mr.. Ford has his days for preslden-
tial running and his days for forget
ting all about it. If the nomination

More than 800 candidates for the

is laid to the door Of Ed Leader,
coach from the University of the

Leader said that the freshmen

and in pair-oared shells. Within
fortnight inexperienced oarsmen

FRANK GOETTGE PROVED
HIMSELF GRIDIRON STAR

Lieut.. Frank Goettge, by his per-

urday, proved himself a big league
star of the gridiron. Though carry
ing couple of broken ribs re-
ceived in the V. M. 1. game, the
big fellow was a host in himself
the moment he appeared. Taking
the ball on the fake reverse play
he simply galloped down the field.
Usually he did not stop till two
and even three Hilltoppers had
hurled themselves at him.
Goettge provided, in addition to
his actual work on the field, the
spirit that swept the Marines on
to victory. All the other players
took on added life when he took
his place in the backfield.

1t might be interesting before the
predictions are recorded to say
something about Sloan and Kelly.
Tod Sloan has for years been a
familiar figure on European and
American tracks. He came out to
Los Angeles about three years ago
to appear in a motion picture in
which there was a horse race. He
rode a pony to a WhirlWind finish.
He has been here ever since, dong
"a part in the movies" now and
then. He is still the dapper little
fellow he always was.
Kelly has turned his back on
horses, having been won away
from them by the fascination OF
the oil game. He is salesman
for one Of the big oil corporations.
To paraphrase the racing term
here is Tod Sloan's "one best guess"
about Papyrus.
1T will be a walkaway for
Papyrus.
Here's why I think Papyrus
will win. Whenever English
horses have come over here to race
American favorites, they have won,
and the horses which have Eeen

StdJ Win the OrlOlGS long SuOuSu
So, Mr.. McGraw has taken his
Giants there to play a game for
a fund to go to John B. Day,
former owner of the Giants, and
Jim Mutrie, former manager. But
when the Yanks heard Of my
scheme to help the Giants, what
do you suppose they did?
Why, friends, they sent Babe
Ruth right along with the Giants
to play with them against Balti-
more. The Yanks figure that if
the Babe learns how to hit and
do other things on which he is
most weak, they won't need to
tutor any of their other players,
such as Pennock, Pipp and Bob
Meusel. That leaves it up to
the writer as usual to figure out
some other new strategy for
which he is famous.

the best Europe has produced in

all Europe. They were badly
beaten.
Colonel North disposed of his
horses at auction n short time
later and returned home in dis
gust.
These horses were then turned

never did amount to anything. Dirt

manager, Pat Moran, is coming
to the series to help me direct
the destinies of the various ball
players who come to me for ad-
vice on how to handle an infield
fly. Secretary Barrows, of the
Yanks, has already begun selling
tickets for the first, third, and
fifth games. The Giants have the
privilege of plastering the world
with pasteboards for the second,
fourth, and sixth games.
While it is not generally known,
the writer has the concession of
selling tickets for the seventh
game, but up to date his passes
have not arrived, so he cannot
dispose of them for a fancy sum
until he gets his Annie Oakleys.
And if they don't come, he will
buy some ushers' hats and stand
at the gate and sell them so that
the boys who buy can go in as
employees.
