Taxation don't know. But it is an axiom that
all our big men today cherish secret passion
for the literature of crime.
When day is done the weary legislator dis
misses affairs of state from his mind and seeks
solace in Sherlock Holmes; the harassed execu-
tive shuts up his roll-top desk and embarks
a verbose adventure with Philo Vance; the
stern-browed judge slips out of his robe and
settles down for an evening with Father Brown.
They are, the nterviewers tell US, just great
big overgrown boys who escape from life's

Farm Prices Up

THE trend toward higher prices on the farm
has already resulted in an increase running
as high as % per cent over the corresponding
months of last year.
The Department of Agriculture figures indi-
cate that the total farm income during jan
uary was 1921, ooo, 900, of which s6ooOoo 900
was in various payments from the Government
That sum was an increase of Al per cent over
the previous January January, incidentally,
was up per cent over December Of last year.
The benefit to recovery in increased farm
incomes is too important not to be worthy OF

fessionally. -

THIS atmosphere of mutual distrust has
penetrated even the substrata of official
dom. Uncle Horace Weems, who is mayor, post
master and justice of what little peace there is
in Ussaquappee, Iowa, has been investigating
himself lately. and his disclosures appaIl-
ing. He finds the municipal administration
OF Ussaquappee riddled with graft and mis-
management. The mayor has been guilty Of
extortion by neglecting to fill in the mudhole
on the turnpike and charging motorists to be
hauled out of it; the justice has been guilty Of
accepting bride in the form Of a fve-pound
box of cut plug from the man who put chewing
tobacco posters on the town hall, and the post
master has read both sides of every post card
that has come into Ussaquappee for the last IS
years. a
Since his investigation began Uncle Horace
has installed large mirror in the post Office
so that he can keep eye on himself, and
more than once he has caught himself going
through his own pockets with every appearance
OF criminal intent

Yet Uncle Horace is probably no worse than
any other public ofhcial who is constantly on
the alert for Interior motives. The spirit Of
Old Sleuth still animates his aged heart, and
he must suspect some one. Like the rest of
the Great Big Overgrown Boys, he has an ul-
teriority complex-and suspicion is nine points
of the law.

Thus the average American c tizen achieved
all the privacy of a white mouse in a labora-
tory. But he is a veritabe reciuse, compared
to the ethan-average American citizen. At
the present time there is hardy a person in
public life who is not involved il a quiz probe
or inqui of some sort Even the most circum-
spect celebrity must be prepared to answer
promptly when asked, Where were you
the night of June 17?"
1 can remember the day when people used
to play the old-fashioned game of Twenty
Questions for the fun Of it, but nov it's rec
ognized Government activity. Six years ago
Senator Lysander O. Welknring (Rep. Dem)
was accused of misappropriating silver
handled umbrella from the Senate cloak room.
congressional committee was appointed to in
vestigate Senator Welkinring The committee
discovered (a) that the umbrella was not silver
handled but nickel-handled, tb) that there was
no umbrella at all; (c) that if there had been
umbrella it would probably have been stolen
from somebody else in the first place. And
Senator Welkinring, in a stirring speech in his
own defense, furnished a watertght abb in
proving that he had been junketing in the
Philippines at the time the alleged theft &C.
CURED.
THIS led to another congressional investiga-
ton to why Senator Welkinring was
junketing in the Philippines when he should
have been in Washington sending nasturtium
seeds to his loyal constituents. He was ordered
to present detailed expense account Of his
trip. His inquisitors took exception to the
item: Shoe polish, $62 50"-and Senator We'll
kinring explained that it was necessary for
him to have his shoes shined several times a
day because they made of cheap leather.
Whereupon a committee of lobbyists dele
gated to promote a higher tariff on leather and
the free traders appointed another committee
to Illustrate the pernicious Vaccinations Of
these lobbyists.
The latest development in the Welkinring
investigation is the discovery that Senator We'll
kinring died several years ago of galloping
inertia. But that is only incidental. The
members of the various committees have piled
up SO much discriminating evidence against
each other that it will take them many months
to dig their way out

QUINTAN LOPEZ
MAY PITCH FOR
BUGS TONIGHT
STAR BASEBALL FLINGER TO
TRY LUCK IN DIAMOND
BALL AGAINST ADAMS
DAIRY TEN

Since the Lopez Funeral Home
is conceded the best team in the
Senior diamondball loop, the scrap
tonight between the Adams Dairy
and Pirates at 8 o'clock will pro-
duce winner that will probably
be the Embalmers' chief opposi-
ton for the rest of league play.
The Pirates won their first
game. And the Dairy ten lost
theirs. But still, the BUGS had
weak opposition and the Adams
crew went up against the Funer-
al Home in the first round of the
league. Bleacherites know that
the Milkmen have some mighty
fine hitters and at least one SPLEEN
did pitcher while. the Pirates. al
though possessing a wonderful
lineup at bat and afield, are not
ably weak in the box.
Manager Castro of the Pirates,
realizing this, has been training
Quintan Lopez, a great baseball
pitcher, to fling the required un-
derhand pitches of dimondball. If
Quintan hurls great tonight Cas-
tro's ten should easily defeat the
cowhand bunch and should run
fast competition to the league
leading Funeral Home bunch.
But the Milkmen intend to
"make the rounds of the bases
when Quintan goes in tonight and
take the contest in the
bargain.
So it's still a tossup.
