oil matter from this point of view things look quite bit different There is apt to come the fear that in being so careful to purify politics the prose- Cutors will forget all about the peo- pie who made it possible for politi- clans, or oflicials-who generally are politicians-crooked The first ne- cessity is to clean up the affairs of the government-to try to see to it that men in positions of trust, handling the affairs of the nation, keep to the straight line and do not jeopafdize the peoples interests. But the next thing to do is to see to it that the men who tempt public officials to betray their public trusts are taught a lesson. If there were no persuaders there would be no persuaded. As long as this thing is so well started, it would be a good idea not to let it drop after a few goats have been cornered. Get the men, too, who made them goats. and the mon behind them-ad lib.

HARDWARE NEWS

Continuing good reports come from the hardware sources of news. Of es- pecial importance, however, is the fact that the increased sales this winter of builders hardware, tools and auto accessories accounted for by the open winter has not been affected to a weather. In other words this increas- cd business which came because of the warm weather still continues after the warm weather ceased. The im- petus to trade had been given and it went on of it's own momentum, if the comparison may be allowed,
 Moreover there was a feeling that the open winter would prove a busi- ness hardship to the dealers who handle especially winter goods and articles. The cold weather which has come now has served to reduce stocks of winter merchandise to a consider able degree. And, to make the pros- pect all the more pleasing, jobbers continue to report an ever increasing interest in the approaching season and are showing that interest in larger orders, When final reports are made they will show good hardware business for this winter, it is believed,

THE SHORT SESSION

The twenty-five minute meeting of the common council last evening, with the unanimous adoption of the budget as prepared by the board of finance and taxation, indicated the truth of the comment of a member of the board made after the short session, that That's what the Monday night meeting accompanied" referring. of course, to the fact that the opportuni- ty was given last Monday evening for any members of the council so desir- Ing to ask any questions informally and receive the information given, for what it was worth.
 There is just one point to consider in this connection. Today the budget stands officially approved by the ma Jority and the minority of the coun- cil. If there is later objection to it, no member may be heard to com plain. The action taken last night was the official action. These informal meetings, commendable and capable of saving much needless discussion at a meeting Of the council when other routine matters must come up. arc in no sense intended, nor should they be intended, to take the place of the regular sessions Of the common coun- cil. There can be no ground for the complaint that everything was cut and dried" at the informal meeting Monday night. It was called by a democratic mayor. the council ma jority being republican, with tho in- tcntion of giving an opportunity for en informal discussion if there was any question concerning the wisdom Of the budget as prepared The action taken at that informal meeting was not an official action, and the record Of members Of the council is made up or what they did last evening, not what they did at the Monday night lHhlifilAE
 This matter is here emphasized at this time. when there seems to be commendable attempt to obtain harmonious working together among the officials. in order that the warm ing may be given not to allow any in- formal gatherings take the place of the regular set sessions of the coun- cil Of which tho public has long had notice and where those interested in city affairs may learn the stand taken by their representatives. II is believed that in this case the budget is a good one. and that the short session last evening with its unanimous approval of the work Of the board Of finance and taxation, expressed the general sentiment of the council.

"I NEAIR METHODS"

One who Is not continually looking about for matters which he may criti- cize adversely often says nothing about practice that he knows exists and of which he disapproves until the persons guilty Of such reprehensible practices begin to prate about unfair methods Of others. Then the strong impulse comes to remark that people living in glass houses should be care ful what they do with the stones in their vicinity.
 The esteemed New York Times. re- fecting the attitude Of the interests opposed to the bonus, and undoubted- ly indicating its honest conviction that the bonus would be unwise at this Gme. implies if il does not distinctly state that Alien Property Cust odian Miller has been guilty Of "yanderlip- ian" tactics when he quotes "a prom inent Republican senator" as having stated that the treasury estimates were juegled 10 discourage the sup port of the adjusted compensation movement. Incidentally # wiii be re- membered that Mr. ganderlip stated his remarks were based merely on gos- sip. and as far as Ue are advised could not even indicate one single person who had told him or the alleged facts concerning the sale Of the Marion Star. Mr. Miller, however. according to his statement did have a dehuite statement coming from a high off, ciaL The name does not matter. If yanderIip had been able to trace his allegations back to one person in a responsible position. even though he refused to name that individual, his case would have been far stronger. Thus the implication that Miller used yanderIipian methods falls.
 Their attitude" says the Times. re- serripr fo the attitudes of the pro- bonus men "as disappointed men is iutellisibIe, but they ought not toI

stoop to unfair methods the
 country may be persudcd to grant a
 bonus. but cannot be bludgeoned into
 doing it." Remember that statement
 and then consider what is to follow.
 A Washington dispatch says:
 Threats from business interests to
 dismiss employees upon failure to peti-
 ton congress for enactment of the
 Mellon tax bill and for defeat of bonus legislation are denounced by the White
 House as utterly un-American, sub versivc of the very Fundamentals of
 democracy and calculated to arouse hostiIities between employers and em- ployes.' A letter is reported to have been sent by certain company in New York to it's employees. asking practically ordering-such employees to request their members Of congress to vote for the Mellon bill and defeat the bonus. The letter is said to have ended with the declaration that the company would check its payroll within the next couple of weeks to find out those who have written and that who have not
 The news from New York indicates that such a letter was sent. In fair ness to the company of which the writer of this letter was an official, it should be said that the other officials have repudiated his action and that the official has been dismissed. Fur ther. that it is reported the American Legion weekly editors, which called attention to this disgraceful means of influencing employees, will publish news of the present stand of the off, cials of the company, disapproving the sending of such letter. In other words now that the action of this official seeking to influence employees of the has become known, the com pany repudiates such action. Possibly they would have done so had the mat ter not been given prominence; pos sibly they would not. At any rate the officials have not gone on record as saying they are in favor of the granting of the bonus, although they have said--and what else could they do ?-that they did not approve thus trying to influence the action of the employees. How many similar letters have been sent em- ployes Of other companies? None. perhaps; perhaps many.
 Again one may say that this prac- tice of officials of companies trying to influence its employees in matters that affect the company's interest might mover have been spoken of were it not for the too jealous eagerness of those opposed to the granting of the bonus Co accuse bonus advocates of unfair methods. That many corporations do influence their employos is an open secret Again, altering the statement in the Times just bit. it may be said. "The country may be persuaded not to grant a bonus, but it cannot be into refusing to grant it by the action Of employers in trying to force their employees to use their in- nuence against the bonus"
