CROOKED ELECTIONS

The chlrge by the grand jury that there was
fraud in the last primaries should arouse every
citizen who wants his vote counted to at least
Indignation.
1t should result in organization of men who
will make it their business to that the election
crooks do not operate in November.
Crooked elections the weapons of bosses.
never of the people.
1t is unfortunate that the grand jury did not
place the blame for the frauds.
Men do not put themselves in the shadow of
the prison just for amusement
The men who engage in these frauds do
for any sentimental love or regard for a partic-
ular candidate
The crooked election is the direct outcome of
machine system of government in which men want
power and demand power for the sake of taking
away the peoples money.
These little crooks commit the crimes because
they must or are paid for so doing.
Most of them have criminal records engage
in crime business. They obey orders and the
protection of crime becomes automatic.
Who was so interested in the outcome of the
primaries to plot and arrange widespread frauds?
Was there candidate for any Office who could
have done this his account?
Was there any aspirant for nomination so
eager and SO powerful that he could get these small
crooks to act?
Well, then who was it that is responsible for the
frauds?
What man or group of men want to control af
fairs of this county and city greatly and able
to Obtain frauds made to order?
Let's hope that the next grand jury points the
finger to the responsible parties for these frauds
and is not satisfied with getting the tools

BE YOURSELF
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

Probably the deplorable thing about pres
age is the tendency to be ashamed of wholesome
and simple things.
Many of consider it a mark of superiority to
be sophisticated and bored and to enjoy only those
pastimes that expensive and off color. The most
of take ideas from persons whom believe to
be intelligent than ourselves when usually they
only more opinionated.
1t is fashionable to drink cocktails and to change
your husband frequently. The girl who does not be-
lieve in the former and the woman who disagrees with
the latter often afraid to out loud in the
fear that they will be called old fashioned What they
do not realize is that they have just much
right to opinion and just free voice it
those who hasks and who frequent the divorce
court And their influence will probably be far
reaching.
We are, the most of u.s. quite tnid about saying
things earnestly believe We may object to popu-
lar styles books plays customs but if they
happen to be the vogue the chances that will
swallow words and follow the crowds
A few loud speakers have announced that old
fashioned integrity and chastity and honest work
foolish and do not bring proper rewards. However.
this does not make these things There is just
much error in lot of this modern stuff we are
swallowing whole these Ndays as there In
the harsh views of the early pilgrims
What should cultivate is the courage of our
convictions. The majority of do not go astray
of our desire to waywardness but because we
think had better be in Jail than out of style.
If, therefore, you are girl and inclined toward
oldfashioned things remember this: You just as
much right to ideas your companions have
their fast and loose opinions. 1t is only question
ideas after ALL DO abandon the position you believe
be right just because lot of fool youngsters
picked up ridiculous fancies Stick to your own CON
victons and be leader yourself For customs should
be made BY human beings and not human beings by
customs.

WHY THE DELAY?

The United States Supreme Court appears to be
engaged in lodging two very important decision.
Again the long adjournment has been taken with
nout judgments in the involving the Federal
trade commissions power to compel trade informa-
ton and the United States Senate's power to act
as real inquirng body. Both cases have been be-
fore the court for than year mad half.
The Federal trade commission case goes to the
life OF that body. The commission ordered by
Senate resolution to inquire into the cost of coal
and steel The industries refused the commission
access to It's books and appeal was taken The ap-
peal has reached the highest judicial body. What
will the Supreme Court say? And incidentally.
when will the Supreme Court say it?
The other case is the Daugherty case. 1t grew
out Of the Wheeler investigation into the corrupt
practices of the Department of Justice under Attor
ney General Harry Daugherty. The committee was
tracing certain bride money and had followed as
far as the bank in Washington Court House, Ohio,
run by "Mal" Daugherty, brother of Harry.
The committee sent special subcommittee to
Ohio examine certain bank records and subpoena
was served on "Mal' Daugherty. The Daugherty
brothers got Ohio Federal judge to enjoin the
Senate committee. Also they got injunction
against the Senates efforts to compel action by
NAL" Daugherty. All Of which went appeal to
the United States Supreme Court.
That was eighteen months ago. Eighteen months
is a long Time Tor judge 10 spend IN making up MS
mind for nine judges to spend in making
UP their joint minds
The late Woodrow Wilson in his work on "Con-
gressional Government said that the inquirng func
ton of the United States Senate probably more
important in many ways than the legislative func-
ton.
From the Adams administration, when secre-
tary of the treasury removed after inquiry by
the Senate, period of hundred years the
Senate has functoned usefully from time to time
an inquiring body.
The latest and most notable example was this
very Wheeler inquiry, resulting in purging the Gov
eminent of Harry Daugherty.
Now the inquirng power of the Senate is seri
ously threatened. The Supreme Court must decide
whether the courts step in and check the Senate
In such inquiry whether the Senate is powerful
as the court in search for facts
1t is known that the Supreme Court is seriously
divided this decision The court hesitates to make
an issue with the Senate.
Some of the judges might like to "cut the SEN
ates claws" but there are others who must feel
that the Senate and the Federal trade commission
are performing useful functions as inquiring bodies
and are in favor Of sustaining that power.
The question is awkward however, that the
court seems to find it easier postpone from month
to month and year to year any decision in the
matter

sweet perfume of clover and the
fresher ozone brings thorough
pleasure 10 the rover who's enjoy

Roads are wondrous as you sally
down the straightway, round the
turn, through the hill and dale and
valley. What's the diff what gas
you burn? All the family's havin'
pleasure. Kinda thrillin'. through
and through. And. of course, there
is a measure that is bound to come
to you.
All in all, va get to thinkin' that

Boston May Be the Back
Bay of Country in
Commerce
BY NJ. e. TRACY

This is written from Boston, 'the
town of the bean and the cod,
where the Lowells talk, only to Ca
bots and the Cabots talk only to
God" but where the conversational
peculiarities of Lowell, Cabot and
other Brahmins of the old order do
not cut the figure they once did. Bos-
ton has changed more distinctly per-
haps than any other great American
city.
In the first place, she has lost the
puritanism OF her origin. You can
buy gasoline on Sundays, where once
it was a crime to raise the parlor
curtains. In the second place, she Is
losing the prim air in trade and man
ufacturing which she enjoyed during
the last century.
Fifty years ago, New England peo-
pie were ready to swear that, no mat
ter how many of their young folks
moved west, no matter how many
of the home farms were abndoned,
and no matter how far they had to
go for butter, eggs. poultry, wheat,
corn and beef, water power would still
keep the mills going and still force
all sections of the country to send
them the bulk of its raw material for
manufacture. Oil, gas, the exploit
tation of Western rivers, and an I'M
looked for development for electrical
power have completely altered that
view. New England will have seen
the textile trade move south. the
shoe trade move west and the lumber
trade more in all directions.
She has seen Pittsburgh take over
the steel and iron business, Detroit
take over the automobile business
and Ohio cities take over rubber and
clay goods. Boston is the first town
/ have visited in the last few years
where the talk of trade and bust
ness is not entirely optimistic. But
here, though a majority Of people
try to keep up the prevailing hap
by thought" there is a clear cut note
of apprehension. Even the politicians
admit this and arc trying TO capital
lie 1t.

They Clip Coupons

Meanwhile her long and success
full manufacturing career has

vast amount of cash, while her ex-
tensive trade connections have I'm
spired her to invest 1t in many
distant places. You find Boston
capital in Texas. the Dakotas, Cali.
fornia, Hong Kong and South
America, with the homefolks cutting
coupons through the prosperity of
new and far away enterprises. Many
an undertaking designed to com
pete with, and perhaps to destroy
some home industry, finds it's
principal backing right in Boston,
while the savings banks. the CO.
operative societies and the building
and loan associations still pile their
assets higher.

Fitzgerald, former mayor of Boston
and a prominent Democratic leader
said: The Democratic party Of
Massachusetts has a great oppor.
tunity in the present crisis in New
England to do this section Of the
country a positive good. There is a
real danger that unless the ordinary
citizen takes an interest in this mat
ter, tho most serious condition that
this part of he counry has faced in
our lifetime will result.
THE wool business is bad" he
said, the leather business is bad,
the textile business is bad and the
shoe manufacturing business is only
fair"
or course Mr.. Fitzgerald was
thinking as a partisan and trying to
cast reflection on the party now in
power, but making due allowance for
all that, he was stating conditions
as many people view them.
