Money Is Moving
Power in Politics
Declaration BOrah

Fairfield, Idaho, Aug. IS. -[P)-
Senator William f. Borah in and
address prepared for delivery at the
annual pioneer day celebration at
Camas Priarie here today declared
that Startling revelations as to the
expenditures of money in elections"
reveals money has come to be the
moving power in American politics"
He expressed the wish that the
exposure of money in politics" will
succeed in arousing the people to
the. real problem before u.s., in
praising the work of Senator James
A. Reed. Democrat, Missouri. and his
special investigation committee. The
senator decried political patronage"
and avowed that 1.-THE Republican or
ganization of the South is held to-
gether and sustained by the worst
kind of corruption"
Senator Borah said that exposures
of the investigating committee are
more than an Impeachment of the
primary" when he advanced the adj
monition "let US not be deluded by
the fallacious proposition that the
late expenditures are due to the
primary of confined to one or two
states" and continued by describing
expenditures of money in elections"
as fearful national evil. The Sem
ator emphasized principally 1.-The
arousing of the people to the neces-
sity of dealing with those who run
for office on the strength of money
rather than upon issues" But he
also continued his fight against adj
herence to the world court, and ex-
pressed opposition to the cancella-
ton of foreign debts by the United
States

Legitimate Wives
Of Dead Sultan Want
To Return to Home

Constantinople, Aug. 13.-[P1-
General 1smed Pasha, as president of
the Turkish cabinet, is. considering
an application of the four legitimate
wives of the late Sultan Mohammed
VII for permission to return to their
homeland whence they fed with their
master in 1922 when the Kemalists
dethroned him.
The widows are now at San Reno,
Italy, where the Sultan died. The
youngest is ar Albanian beauty, the
daughter of the Yildiz palace gar
dener. She was II when she was
married Il the Sultan in 1921. The
other three widows are of pretty
Circassian types.
The widows pleas have been re-
ceived with hooking in the Turkish
newspapers, one of which says:
Since they preferred to follow the
traitor to remaining loyal to Turkey.
they ought to be punished by being
forced to follow their master to his
last resting place and remaining be-
side him to their end"
The late Sultan Is buried In
Damascus.

Uncle Sam Will
Keep Out of Mexican
Religious Dispute

Washington, Aug. 13.-(P-Emis-
saries of the Knights of Columbus
who called today on Secretary Kel-
logg are believed to have gained a
definite impression that the hands off
policy of the government regarding
Mexico's domestic religious difficult
ties is to stand unchanged.
At the same time, however, pro-
perty and personal rights of all
Americans in Mexico will continue to
be protected when ever there is an
attempted invasion Of rights grant
ed by treaty or conferred by inter-
national Or Mexican law.
The secretary conferred for more
than an hour with J. A. Flaherty,
supreme knight. and d. J. Callahan,
treasurer of the National organiza-
ton of the Knights of Columbus, who
discussed with him the resolution
adopted at the Philadelphia meeting
of the order demanding that the
Washington government take some
unspecified Gctlor in connection with
the religious turmoil in Mexico. BY
agreement neither Mr.. Kellogg nor
his callers had anything to say for
publication after the conference.
A few hours later, Mr.. Kellogg was
en- route to his conferences with
President Coolidge at the White
Pine Camp which he expects to
reach late tomorrow.
Ip view of the secretary's silence
here. it is not expected any formal
statement of policy as TO me reli-
sious situation in Mexico will be
forthcoming from any official quarter,
at least until after his discussion Oh

a friend of Workman. to talk to him.

Report Larceny of
Laundry from Door
Of Doctors Office

Some one in this vicinity yesterday
must have been badly in need of
clean linen, according to the report
of local physician. who stated that
a bundle of laundry which was left
in the hallway near the door of his
ONCE by the Waterville Steam Laun-
dry. disappeared in a mysterious
manner and left no clue as to it's
destination. Whether the culprit was
actuated to commit this particular
larceny under the influence of the
maxim which says that Cleanliness
IS next to Goodness" is a matter of
conjecture. The fact however is
fully established that the shirts are
gone.
