ACT NOW

The interests which spent a million or more
dollars in Pennsylvania in the nomination and
election of William S. Ware to the United
States Senate seem determined that the money
shall not have been spent in vain.
Hardly had the last echo of the disgraceful
Pennsylvania inspired fillbuster, which mark
ed the closing of Congress died away, before a
great campaign was launched seriously at
tempting to explain away the wild spending
and make it appear logical and we'll within
Mr.. Wares rights to expect to be permitted to
enjoy his "well earned victory"
Pamphlets defending Mr.. Vare's campaign
fund as ''honest and legal have been sent to
all Senator's to the Press; and to powerful in
dviduals throughout the nation
1t is your time to do something, Mr.. Voter.
Are you going to sit idle and allow it to be
said-and proved-that money can buy any
thing in the United States?
Why not sit down right now and write Sem
ator Harris and Senator George, that in your
opinion neither Mr.. Ware of Pennsylvania nor
Mr. Smith of Illinois, should be allowed seats
in the United States Senate. Of course we are
positive that our Senators from Georgia are
not going to vote for either to be seated, but
your letter to them would do no harm and
would impress them as being behind them in
this issue.
You will be serving your country-and prov
ing to the interests that this still is govern
ment of the people, by the people and for the
people-so all may prosper

Tax Supported Libraries

Utah boasts unsupported library
for it's population that costs about
SIS cents per capita for the population
served and this is about two-thirds of
the total. Costing less than the cost
of one book per capita the service is
four and one half books per capita.
Utah has bureau of education that
functions for the good of the people,
and not as a depository for statistics
alone as can be seen by this showing.
When people generally begin to think
what education really is, then IL
braries will be seen to be the most
important part of the educational
system. Like the body, the mind
grows by what it feeds upon. No
one can claim that school text books
form a complete diet, nor that school
libraries, so meagre as they usually
are, can fully supplement the need.
Public libraries and county serving
libraries supported by taxes is the
only practical method.

IN DEATH STRUGGLE

Die-hards are ever with us. The current
species is as tough and hardy as any the ma
tion has had to exterminate in the last seventy
five years 1t is the corrupt polltlcal oosS or
ward healer, fighting, in his death struggle tc

return to the convention system, In county, IN
state, in nation. Of course this is too much
for them to hope for, still it is fact tnat
most determined effort to that end is thls year
being made Voters everywhere should be
warned of the subtle and indirect methods that
are being used, to take from their hands the
right to name their respective party candl-
dates
The attack on the direct primary is being
pressed by those forces that prefer a govern
ment by money-to one by popular opinion
The scandles within the past year have put
a new determination into the foes of the pri-
mary Bosses have learned that money used
too lavishly in a primary, defeats its own ends.
Under the convention system money can be
handled easily, effectively-and attracts no at
tention.
Right now there are some seemingly very
learned discussions being featured by the po-
ltical-boss directed press which attempt to
palm off the old corrupt convention system OF
nomination as the indirect convention sys-
tenn"
In a nutshell, it is joke for advocates of
the convention system to talk about "the COST
of the direct primary and compare it in any
way with the old convention system. Just re-
member this.
Every real progressive in Congress today
comes from direct primary strongholds-and
virtually every one is poor man. Also in
vestigate and you will find that the drive
against the direct primary is headed by public
utility officials, old school politicians and cor
poration lawyers.

Co-Operative Art School

Pursuing week-in-school and
week-in-store course there are 100
pupils in high school in Boston who
are having the advantage of study
and experience in their practical art
course which, is of particular value
to them on graduation as most of
them are retained in the stores which
have served them in their training
with the wage of $12 per week. By
the time the course is completed they
have become so familiar with all de-
partments of the establishments that
their services have become valuable
to their employers. Of course the
main consideration has been in the
five years of it's operation that the CO.
operative course has kept young peo-
pie in school who oth"" you'd
have had to go to work without tr2ln-

THE CHRONIC PESSIMIST

We stepped into his place of business yes
terday morning to make a purchase. The
proprietor came up and as is customary, we
said, "How is your business comlng!' Fine
he replied at dropped off trifle last month,
but on the whole. it is very satisfactory, we
told him we wereog glad to hear it, paid for our
purchase and departed
A few hours later at a meeting we saw him
in earnest conversation with chronic pessl-
mist, man who, if he had a barrel OF per-
Gectlv good apples would paw them all over
hoping to find one that was specked and II
he was fortunate enough to discover it, he
would geefully hold it up and say, There |
told you so, you just can't trust anybody.
While of course we did not know what they
were discussing, we always figure that hard
frost will injure tender plants and SO we
dropped in on the retailer later in the after
noon and said, What you said this morning
about the condition of your business seems to
reflect general conditions, and
'T""Yes, but wait minute" he said, "Pve been
thinking it over and | tell you things don't
look so good for the future. No sir, I'm go
ing to haul in my horns can can tell you thai" "
The pessmist had by suggestion poisoned
his mind He had set the brakes on his judg-
ment and we will guarantee that the crepe he
draped over him reduced his efficiency at least
so per cent.
Handle your own brakes, don't allow a
chronic pessimist to set you back.

DOLLARS THAT COME BACK

When people send money away from home,
it completely disappears from their view, and
they get simply the thing they bought with
their money.
When they spend their money at home, a
large part of that money stays in the town
helping it to get ahead. Some of it goes for
local taxes. Some of it is contributed by To-
cal merchants to home town causes, or invest
ed in home town enterprises This money
helps build up the community, and we all ben
eft from it. Thus the dollars that you spend
at home give you rebate in the shape of
home town prosperity and advantages.

Boon For Sculptors

Two artists in Chicago, Messrs.
Parish and Engleman, have found a
method of securing what they need
for sculpturing a face or figure with
but one sitting, wher eformerly many
sittings have been required. They
employ moving picture camera on
a revolving plan that will take as
many as 400 pictures from 400 an
giles, that reveals every characteristic
of shape and outline that is possible
to use. Besides the elimination OF
long and tedious sittings, the pres
ent method offers complete prep
aration for sculptures that may be
executed at any future time, since
such documentary records can be ILL
ed and used used even SO years after.
Outstanding national international
characters might frequently be sought
for such records even though no or
der might be given for sculpturing.
NAt some future time busts could be
made norder from these records.

Haiti, Hat'm b ~f ~ ~ '@t' ~. q
The unusual thing of an official
visitor from the United States being
declared an undesirable and debaf-
red from entrance to territory under
American occupation is now under
question.
President Borno has personal i'll
will toward Senator William King
because he opposed Borno's occu-
pancy of the presidency. When he
learned that King was intending
visit of personal inspection in Haiti
preliminary to introducing legislation
into Congress pertaining to its affairs,
he forbade the visit and gave orders
TO his police force to carry out the
orders gently or otherwise. Senator
King thought he would have an ally
in General Russell, of the army OF
occupation, but in this he was mis-
taken as General respects the author
ity of Borno, and refused to take up
his cause. The state department also
refused to interfere. So strange as
the case may seem, there is no alter
native for Mr.. King.

Fun Alive

No sport for little children exceeds
that in which real animals figure.
At all favorite seaside resorts on the
English coast, stands of donkeys are
kept for the amusement of the little
folks riding them up and down the
beach. So extensive is the business
that laws are passed to regulate the
hours of toll for the little animals.
There is an active S. P. c. A. IN
Great Britain that keeps close survey
of any business that is operated with
dumb animals. A donkey's charter
in some of the seaside towns specifies
maximum weight of 88 pounds t"
be carried and prohibits whipping or
kicking Also an eight-hour day is
the maximum of service. However
the tides in most places shorten this
by several hours as the sand must be
reasonably dry for the purpose OF
riding. The S. P. C. A. also gives
prizes annually to the stands that
show the best cared-for donkeys, hav-
ing numbers of them ranging from
around fifty to nearly two hundred.
One stand has been in business for
53 years, the business passing from
mother to daughter and others claim
family occupation that goes back
hundreds of years
The increase of automobile driving
only enlarges the donkey-riding husi-
ness as more parents are enabled TO
make trips to the beaches with their
children both in summer and VIM
ter.

Electric Cow

From sixty to eighty gallons Of
fresh milk daily is supplied passengers
on an ocean liner by means of an
electric mixer called the electric
COW" and named Fanny by the
caretaker. Proper proportions of
milk powder, unsalted butter and wa
ter are blended into various grades
of milk and cream by the process and
seems to give satisfactory results to
the users. Her brindle highness
would seem to be a necessary factor
still in furnishing the milk powder.
After that according to Henry Ford
the COW is unnecessary and more OF
a nuisance than benefit and even
tually will make way for scientific
substitutes in that part of the diet,
which now hold so high a value.

A new policy which has for it's
purpose more intensive follow-up
work among new settlers on farms in
the northwest, was announced by the
Northern Pacific Railway company,
when it made known that it's agricul-
tural and immigration departments
have been consolidated and a single

ence as county agent leader in North
Dakota and in agricultural develop
ment work for the Northern Pacific,
has been named director of the new
division.
The announcement of the change in
policy was made by J. G. Woodwork,

More effective cooperation with ag-
r%icultural colleges and other agencies
now engaged in agricultural develop
ment of the northwest is the objec-
tive, he said.
The departments united under the
new plan are:
The immigration division which,
for years, has been placing north

settlers through the preparation and
widespread distribution of descrip-
tive literature and in the personal
solicitation of promising prospects SC
developed.
