Why Resist Investigation?

There must be something wrong with the anti
saloon league of New York state. Its superintend-
ent has been indicted by a grand jury for grand
larceny, forgery and extortion. This is bad
enough. But when the directors of the league pass
a resolution warning the state legislature that the
proposal of that body to institute an inquiry into
the affairs of the league will be deemed " an overt
act constituting a declaration of war against ap-
the state committed to dry enforcement in the
state and represented by the board of directors
The recommendation for "a state investigation
was made by the grand jury which indicted the
superintendent.
The league takes a very foolish view of the mat
ter after all the scandal that has been laid at its
door. 1t would seem that it would rather court in
vestigation of its methods and practices. And in.
stead of p~roclaiming itself pure and holy invite
the opportunity to publicly establish such a condi-
ton in its affairs.
II, as claimed by the league, that it represents
five thousand churches inathe state there will be
no withdrawal of that support If the league is
all its directors claim it Is. On the other hand
it will not represent five thousand nor any other
number of churches, five minutes, if it has been
guilty of wrongdoing as indicated by the grand
jury. An honest investigation of an honestly con-
Quoted concern can do no possible harm; and it
will forever set at rest the accusations its enemies
make against it.
The attitude of the directors in resisting investi-
cation simply adds to the public suspicion which
exists against the league.
The league has dropped activity in many states
because us occupation ceased Win natlOnWlde pro-
hibition and the elimination of the public saloon.
In New York which is accounted the worst boot
Logging offender in the union and its people the
most diligent rum runners, the league has been
of no practical benefit in suppressing the traffic
in liquor nor has it brought forth any measure of
assistance to federal enforcement officers the only
ones, since the state repealed its prohibition stat
utes, seeking to curb the Illicit dealings.
If the league desires to restore its standing in
New York it will have to come clean, clear its
skirts of the charges against 1t, get rid of a lot
of official and unofficial hangers-on and make an
honest effort to be of service to the country rather
than of service to the organization.

What We Can Do

Europe, whatever it thinks are our sins of omis.
sion, cannot reproach us that we have not sent
over enough United States senator's. They are
flowing in and. out with the tides and come home
with much argument. What to do and what not to
do?" Thus speaks the Chicago Tribune.
senator Oscar Underwood says we must do
something. Senator Hiram johnson says we must
do nothing. Mr.. Underwood is obscure about his
something. Mr.. johnson Is definite about his moth
ing.
"The Tribune knows what the United States
could do for Europe, and it's about time to tell 1t.
The United States can inform France that it will
assume responsibility for German reparations. 1t
can inform Germany that it is about to examine
the German ability to pay. 1t can ascertain this
ability by sending over a force Of appraisers, ac-
countants, etc. When the figure is discovered we
can pay 1t to France on the dot and request with
drawal from the Ruhr and other occupied German
territory.
of France refuses to accept and refuses to get
out we can send over an army and put her out.
The military difficulty is that we'll have to find
n substitute for the French general staff which
functioned for us in the war, but there is the Ger
man general staff, which is quite as good. So it can
be done.
With the German reparations paid and the
French put ont well be in position to go to work.
Well have to give Germany a system of finance
and put its money back where it belongs. Then
well make another survey of German resources
and determine how Germany can meet the debt
which we have assumed, ascertaining how much n
year and for how many years. Then collect it, u.s.
ing American tax collectors and customs officials.
ave win keep our army in between the French
and Germans and, to be perfectly fair, we'll guar.
antee France in perpetuity against aggression from
the reconstructed German state. There will be
peace and prosperity and all it will require of the
United States is some men and money.
We can do it. We have had experience. We re-
constructed the Philippines and did it so well that
there's a virtually unanimous request from the is
lands that we get out, go home, and mind our own
business After that success we can do anything"

Disregarded Lessons

Write it down as the most discouraging of all
human tasks the efforts of the well-meaning to
save people from the consequences of their own
carelessness, folly and neglect. The two best adver-
tised dangers, nationally, that beset modern man,
in all probability, are the railroad crossing and
morning is like every other Monday morning in
the news. Relatively and actually the number of
accidents of both classes seem to increase. 1t
cannot be said that the victims have not been duly
warned. Yet they insist on finding out for them
selves at greater cost than the knowledge would
seem to be worth.
Recent casualties by drowning contain the ma.
terial for another moral. Inability to swim figures
less prominently than it used to in the reports.
But the lesson seems to be that not every swimmer
is fit under all conditions to venture into the
going in bathing. They engage in spirited competi.
tion regardless of physical preparedness. 1t is per.
haps easier to overdo unconsciously at swimming
than at most forms of athletics, and undoubtedly a
more serious matter when realization comes too
late.

TEA BEER

LONDON. Aug. 4.-Prohibition is

crease in the quantity of tea con
sumed through the world. according
to Mincing Lane experts
Britishers now consume tea at the
rate of 81 pounds a head. compared
with 81 pounds q few years ago,
Some of this increase Is due to the

SMALL COMFORT
After Ten Months of Anxious Waiting
Depositors Get Ten Per
Cent Dividends.

Even a tenth of loaf is better than
the former depositors of the Citizens
State Bank as they viewed the checks
for their first dividends on last Fri
day. The bank closed its doors on the
26th of last May, amid much talk of
opening again in a few days, but when
the bank commissioners deputy, X. l..
Ritchey, carefully went through the
paper turned over to him, he found
that he had a long hard job in front
of him if anything was to be saved
for the depositors. What are usually
called the banks liquid assets had
mostly been spilled in the months
when the bank was holding on by a
scant thread, and the only thing liquid
about most Of those left was that they
would run indefinitely. Most of them
are still running. The preferred
claims and liabilities of the bank which
had to be met took up a large part
of the best assets, and it has only
been by hard work and the sale of
the banks interest in the property
where it was located that the present
dividend has been paid.
There are several matters in CON
nection with the banks affairs in the
courts hands for decision, and the
size Of future dividends will probably
depend on this. Mr.. Ritchey will make
no statement as to the probable
amount the depositors will get, but
those who have considerable know
ledge of its condition do not believe
the creditors can hope for any great
per cent of their claim to be paid.

Big Catholic Dance.

The ladies' of the Catholic church
gave a dance at the State armory on
election night, April 3, which as usual
each year proved to be the biggest
social event of the season. The arm
ory was beautifully decorated for the
occasion and the scene on the floor
was one long to be remembered by the
hundreds who attended. The Matt
Jerman orchestra of Pueblo furnished
the music for the occasion and it was
pronounced by all the dancers to be
the best dance music ever heard here
The big armory floor was crowded
with dancers Of all ages all evening,
and everybody had merry time. Elec-
tion returns were announced and re-
freshments served during the evening.

NEW BUSINESS BLOCK
Building for Telephone
Exchange.

Patrick Holland, manager of the
Mountain States Telephone Co. for
Colorado. was here the first of the
week, and was looking for location
for u new business building to house
the Lamar exchange of the company.
The business of the local exchange is
growing so rapidly that enlarged
quarters are needed and as there is
no room for expansion in their present
quarters in the Masonic Temple they
believe the best plan is to seek To-
cation in the heart of the city and
build their own plant. They now have
propositions under consideration which
will probably result in securing the
necessary ground near enough their
present quarters to materially reduce
the expense and trouble Of moving in
a large measure and it is probable
that their new building will be under
way in the near future.

Easter Services.

Special Easter services were the or
der of the day at all the Lamar
churches and all were crowded to over
flowing for the occasion. The wealth
er in the morning was the finest East
er weather Lamar has enjoyed for
several years and there was a cores
ponding desire on the part of the peo-
pie to turn out. The morning services
were held at each of the churches with
special program and suitable sermons
for the occasion. At the Presbyterian
church the Knights Templar had been
invited and part of the program in
cluded their regular Easter service.
Rev. Creswell delivered a very able
and instructive address. At the Bap-
tist church Rev. ]. NJ. Gurley of Tope-
ka was in charge in the absence of
the regular pastor, Rev. T. F. Kelly.
The evening services at both the Me
thodist and Presbyterian churches
consisted of sacred contatas appropri-
ate to Easter and both churches were
crowded to hear excellent programs.

Bennett Post No. II, American Legion,
are going to help them to complete
payments and in order to do so will
on the evening of Thursday, April 10,
give big benefit dance at the State
armory. They have engaged the Matt
Jerman orchestra of Pueblo for the
occasion and will Rave some special
entertainment features which will
make il one of the leading social

ADDITIONAL BEET CHECKS
High Price of Sugar Benefits Beet
Growers Who Contracted I'm
der Sliding Scale.

The American Beet Sugar Co. mail
ed out checks to all growers who con-
tracted to raise beets under the slid
ing scale for the 1922 crop. This is
the second additional payment made
by them since the close of the 1922
manufacturing campaign, and makes
the high price of sugar not an object
Of wrath in their households. The dis
tribution of these checks in the val
ley will far more than offset the mo-
ney which the raise in price will cost
its citizens. 1t will also tend to show
the insincerity of that class of dema-
gogues who are always bowling to
give higher prices to farmers, but at
the same time raise a far greater
howl the minute any food product
raises in value.
The U. S. nation as a whole is so
constituted that there can be no such
thing as general prosperity in the land
without the farmer gets a fair price
for his products. Necessarily this
means that food stuffs will not be
cheap, but the general prosperity pro-
duced by good prices for farm pro-
ducts will make it easy for the gener-
al public to pay its food bill.

best possible summer feed for cows.
rmanent pasture grown from this
mixture on good irrigated land will
last for ten to fifteen years, can be
pastured for six months of the year,
will carry two animals to the acre and
hold the milk flow up to a maximum
during the hot summer months. The
lower price received for milk in the
summer months makes it very neces-
sary to secure some feed that will be
cheap and yet hold up the milk flow.
The present increasing price of feeds
along with this lowering in the price
of milk brings about condition that
can be overcome only by the planting
of good permanent pasture.

MAXWELL WINS
Large Vote POlled at City Election and
Results in Mixed Ticket.

Lamar people showed their interest
in municipal affairs on Tuesday by
turning in the largest vote ever given
since the county and city precincts
have been confined to the city corpor-
ate limits. Both Ward 2, county
precinct No. /, and Ward 3, county
precinct No. s, broke their records,
and Ward /, county precinct No. 4,
only ran ten votes behind its record
vote in the 1920 presidential year.
Last November its vote was ten un-
der the Tuesday record. On Tuesday
ll35 votes were cast in the three
wards. Ward had 361; Ward 2, had
473 and Ward 3, 301. The interest
started early and kept up continuous
ly until the last votes were in about
seven in the evening, and there is alb
solutely no room left for an explana-
ton or alibi. There were not enough
votes left uncast to have changed the
result il all had been one way. Ihe
result therefore is evidently the will
of the people, and with that all should
be satisfied-even though it may be
u disappointment.
The chief interest in the campaign
of course centered around the candi-
dates for mayor, and it became evl-
dent early in the day that each candl-
date would carry the home ward OF the
other. and that they would be close
break. This left ward No. to settle
the race, and Mr.. Maxwelps friends
there proved their ability to meet the
issue by carrying the ward by seventy
votes.
The party organizations on eaeh
side worked hard and earnestly all
day long and the large vote is sure
evidence of their efficiency. 1t was
fortunately carried on throughout the
mast three weeks and especially on
election with far less acrimony and
bitterness than have usually marked
the city campaigns Of the past fifteen
Years, and for this most of the citl-
zens are duly thankful as it leaves

featured the biennial contests hereto
fore. Fred w. Marx is receiving
many congratulations on having a
sec ,nd time managed a successful city
campaign and the work of the organic
alton back Of him was effectively car
ried out by many volunteers. Ward
No. 3, the north side, especially had
a bunch of live wires who adopted
the old Y. NJ. B. A. motto of Don't
Weaken" and carried it successfully
to the very finish.
The result on the officers that ran
over the entire city was an even break
between the parties as the Citizens
party elected the mayor, the Peoples
party elected the clerk, and the treas
urer, f. A. Lundgren, was on both
tickets. For aldermen the result ia
vored the Peoples party as they elect
ed both candidates in their ward, No.
2. and succeeded in getting one out of
two in each of the other wards. The
newly elected officers will probably
take their positions at the regular
semi-monthly meeting on Monday
evening, April 16.
The tabluated vote for the three
wards will be found in the table above.
