UNITE ON HIRsT.

It is interesting to note that former Cover
nor Philip has led the march toward the Hirst
Band wagon. His declaration in favor of the
highway chief as Republican candidate for
governor at least gives the assurance that he
is not going to gum up the cards at the last
minute by insisting on having a personally
labeled" candidate in the campaign for the
nomination.
If Wisconsin Republicans are to get back TO
sane campaign and a sane program for the
state, they must rid themselves of the pres
ent administration and it is apparent that Mr..
Hirst has offered the best candidacy for these
people to center their interests in.
Mr.. Hirst has not outlined his stand on al
the important questions which may confront
the state in the next two years, but he has de-
clared -orciby as in favor of putting an end
to personal politics and personal government
in Wisconsin and this declaration is a mighty
good nestor for a real campaign. Hirst has
shown himself to be a high grade progressive
business man who realizes that he owes a
duty to the people rather than to the politi-
clans. He has not hesitated to give up posi-
ton which he could hold indefinitely in order
to fight the battle of the people against the
attempt to make personal ambition and tper-
sonal politics the dictator of everything con-
nected with the state.
a1rSt is known as the follower OF the square
deal and if he is elected Governor of Wiscon-
sin the people have the assurance of the past
that they will get service and have it rendered
fairly and impartially
Hirst hasn't campaign organization other
than the association of a lot of men who know
him and believe in his honesty and integrity
He hasn't a lot of men hanging about him eX-
pecting to advance his campaign for the sole
purpose of getting on the state pay roll. He has
no entangling alliances of the past. He has al
ways played the game square and has kept
himself and his department out of politics.
If a state worn to the bone by political
fighting wants to get back to the high plane
of government for the people and by the peo-
pie instead of government by the politicians
and for the politicians and their friends, it
cannot do better than tie up to the Hirst candi-
dacy and join the fight under his leadership.
Hirst cannot win this fight alone. He is a
real fighter, but even a real fighter must have
help against the organization which has been
boosted in Wisconsin by the prostitution of
everything that the state has in the way Of
service.

If you are within earshot of business

Those Investigations have had no

taken place in Timbuktu, on the edge

SOVIET.

Soviet Russia is beginning to eat
its own fiery words. Having vigorously
repudiated the pre-war debts contract
ed by the czar's government, the Soviet
is feeling out London along this line:
"We'll recognize our pre-war obliga-
tions in exchange for long-term
loan"
A similar arrangement is not inn
possible between France and Russia.
Money is the Real Government in
every country.

MANY PRE-CHR1sTIAN RELICS.

London.-The discovery of number
of skeletons with numerous funeral
relics of pre- Christian date near Strait
ford-on-Avon in sixth century ceme-
terry, is regarded by English archeeol-
ogists as one of the most important
finds ever made in England.
The gem of the collection consists
of magnificent umbo, or loss, of
warriors shield, which was found with
other implements of warfare buried
with body. The shield boss which
is pronounced to be unique is of iron,
beaut fully decorated with plates Of
cast bronze with gold attachments and
ornamented with gold On the apex and
around the rim.
During the course Of the eXcava-
tions PA interments were found, some
40 of them having been cremated and
the ashes buried in earthenware urns
of beautiful designs.

Fires.

Fire destroyed sos million dollars
worth of American property in 1928,
the underwriters estimate. Enough
TO pay several soldier bonuses.
Fully three-fourths of these fires are
preventable. Especially forest fires.
Camping season is at hand. Never
break camp until absolutely sure the
fire is completely extinguished. Never
throw away glowing matches or cigar
ct stubs in the woods or from the win
dow of a train. A little more caution
on the part of all of US will hold down
one factor of high cost of living fires.
After all is said and done the trou-
BILE in Washington right now is more

Heavy lies the head that wears the
crown of honesty in this old burg.
John Cody, taxi driver, will tell you
that.
John found a necklace valued at
$4,000 after wealthy woman had left
his cab at depot Without any hest
tation John turned in the necklace at
the taxicao Office The next day his
picture and his story blazed forth in
all the New York papers.
An honest man, taxi driver at that,
in New York!
That such matter makes front page
news in New York is in itself SAD
commentary on the spirit that pervades
the city.
In a Main Street town it would be
taken as matter of course that the
finder of another's property would re-
turn it to its owner.
Well, to get back to John Cody. He
returned the necklace, received salts
factory reward and went on about his
business.
Now he receives letters every day.
None of them commend him for his
honesty.
you're big boobl" writes one New
Yorker.
"You must be off your nut" IS an
excerpt from another letter received
by Cody.
And ir the last letter he received
there was small piece of rope. At
tached to it was tar, inscribed as
follows: You'd bettcN get longer

Human money changers are now OBJ
solete. For some time certain surface
cars have made change through a me-
chanical device within the car itself,
operated by the motorman who is paid
when passengers alight
Now comes another mechanical step.
It is the automatic and instantaneous
change maker, designed for subway
use which promises to further lessen
delay of passengers at many subway
stations.
The machine throws out change for
dimes, quarters and fifty-cent pieces
with greater rapidity than the human
money changers, always returning the
exact amount deposited therein, and
detecting bad coins and slugs. After
making change, the machine shifts
back into position ready to serve the
next passenger.

The stubbornness with which the
corn market absorbed profit-taking

tiers that broader buying demand was
apparent than had been generally sup
posed. On the other hand, for the first

the case year ago. and there was
much interest shown in the fact that
a leading trader here who has been
talking bullish for weeks went over
today to the bear side. He predicted
more than temporary recession of
values. Other authorities, however, eX-
pressed the opinion that the reaction
was transient and was to have been
expected in view of numerous upturns
