Power Control of Press

WHATEVER else may be said
w about the International Paper
and Power Company buying stock
in newspapers, or loaning other
people money with which to do so,
Mr.. Graustein was certainly frank
with the federal trade. commission.
He did not try to cover up what
he had done, or make it appear diff
ferent from what it was. That
removes one element of danger at
least. SO long as we know what men
are doing we can take measures to
protect ourselves
The menace of money, especially
as it can be used by one interest to
control another, is nine tenths Sc
crecy

Public Protection

Once more Boss Coffin shows that great.
generous spirit which always prompts him to
relieve the people Of tins city from the difficult
task of running their own affairs. He IS will
ing rather desperately anxious, to do the job.
He appeals to the courts to destroy the city
manager form of government.
Aside from the fact that the actions OF his
attorneys should be resented as throwing sus
picon upon Judges, many of whom he selected,
the suit inspired by Coffin to defeat the city
manager plan needs little comment.
1t is significant that the Coffin mouthpiece,
10 revert to the gang parance which the Coffin
followers best understand, waited at the court
house until they could get the matter before
one particular Judge.
just what that judge thinks Of such pro
ceeding remains to be seen. Certainly it does
not inspire confidence in courts when the law
vers for the boss wait for enc particular Judge
TO listen to their plea for an injunction to pre-
vent the people from eecting commissioners
under the manager form and to permit Coffin to
pick two party candidates to run fake race
for mayor in the fall.
IF the law is so plainly and clearly illegal as
the lawyers for the boss pretend, it would seem
that almost any Judge would be bright enough
to catch the point.
The legal attack on the city manager form
Of government at this date is most significant
The supreme court, after many months of
dcliberaton, handed down decision in an
Evansville case which declared the law consti-
tutiona The original decision said that two of
the Judges were certain about it, and that
third had agreed to its conclusions " The next
morning this Judge with the swift stroke of his
pen erased the letter s. from this notation
and now nobody knows what he thinks about
the coustitutonahty of the manager law.
The people OF this city voted in large num-
bers for the adoption of the manager plan.
They believe that they have the right to rule
themselves as they please. As matter Of his
tory the legislature tried to give the cities the
right to set up the nlanagre form.
Just whose rights and interests would be
invaded by am efficient rather than a graft form
of government is difficult to understand, unless
there be a vested interest in bosses and boss
ism to control city governments in behalf of
state political machines.
Certainly when Coffin and his henchmen
stragge into court to protect the people from
themselves, it is time not to laugh but to pro
test
Really, George, there is no danger from
such Boshevists as Insley, Eslerhnc, Linn,
Hoke, and the thousands of other men who
pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes
for the support 81 government, nor from the
great army of red women who are the mothers
Of all the school children, the leaders in every
charity. the defenders of all decent things
If there were aeeded any added reason for
the establishment o. III city managr form, the
source of this attack the whispers and the gag
methods furnish the necessary cause for
vigorous defense Of lis adoption.

SIeuth Loses Job

CUCCESS depends not only on

head.
While Sidney Franklin becomes a
star bull fighter, the star detective

Ginhoven could track down
crooks, but could not keep his mouth
shut.
In the war he distinguished HIM
self by dropping with a parachute
behind the enemy lines, destroying
an airplane and getting back to his

That took courage, as well as skill.
1t took more courage, however to

Physical courage is much COM

COLUMBIA, Mo, May John
Davenport of Mercer, Mo, wanted
to go to college but didn't have the
money to pay room rent, so he built
his own home and moved 1t TO Tren-

When Davenport wants to move"
he pulls twenty-five bolts and the
house is ready to be packed on a

He plans to settle outside the city
limits, or wherever he can find the
cheapest site. The house is a one
room affair, heated by little coal
stove. John cooks his own meals
on a three burner oil stove.

she had only seen him twice!
If she never saw him again, every
line of that portrait her fingers

heart.
A waiter thrust a greasy card
before her, and pride made her

Curtis Morgan, the little Curtlss
loudly clamored for a game Of ana
grams. Nan had no presentlment
that a, crisis in that still incomplete
marriage was rapidly hurting down
upon her.
Curtis very modern school teacher
had introduced the game OF ana
Grams into her classroom as a novel
but effective aid in the teaching
of spelling and definitions. And
Curtis had become so enamored OF
the game that he insisted upon a
session of anagrams with his father
and stepmother every evening after
dinner.
They had been engrosSed for ten
minutes this evening with the little
wooden letters when Curtis trium-
phantly formed the word hop,
adding it to the three other words
he had captured.

take" the little boy grumbled

Had she missed Grant? She had

that newspaper men frequently
phoned in their stories, leaving tire
actual writing TO ''rewrite" men.
Her hands shook with haste and
cold nervousness as she adjusted
the perky little brown and orange
hat which Faith had given her. She
raced down the narrow, dark stair
way, her heart leaping ahead OF her
feet to the little Northumberland
lunch room across the street. Her
first glance around the table
