a hardworking Democrat and
his actions have usually con-
formed to Administration views.
Now comes the lobby quiz.
Not only will the power CON-
p1nies' lobby be Investigated
but the inquiry wiU 90 Dell into
the charges that Administration
H1iSon officers made dire threats
against members of Congress
Who refused to go along" and
that coercion UGS prevalent.
If Mr.. O'Connor, as chairman
of the investigating committee,
cracks down on the Administra.
tion and its lobbyists for the
methods used, the powers that
be probably won't be overly
pleased.
IT he neglectS to make q
thorough investigation of the
Administration Gctivity, those
members 1Dho haze charged
coercion and threats 1Dill rise
up in all their =. might, and,
judging from UoteS OF, the hold
ing company bill, they haze it.
So Mr.. O'Connor is in this
position.
BY cracking down on the Ad.
ministration he jeopardizes his
chances of securing its support
if he attempts to secure the
leadership.
If he doesn't crack down, he
takes a chance of losing the con-
fidence of a great many mem
bers who trust him implicitly.
Those who know John O'COn-
nor think that in all probability
he will swing the investigating
axe at all lobbyists involved -
letting the chips fall where they
may.
The "WeSt" has GlDGyS been
an important factor in the
campaign OF any political party.
Republicans and Democrats
alike have listened intently to
reports of the tide of politics
from that source.

COAL DELIVERY
MADE WITHOUT
BAD FEATURES
Monument Company Truck
Drivers Use Care at
Patrons Homes.

Many complimentary statements
have been made recently to en-
ployes Of the Monument Coal Co. by
both new and old customers. These
have come as a result Of the fine
service Of drivers in making dely-
cries.
This time Of the year has eener-
ally been considered the most eco
nomical time to buy coal. as sum-
mer prices are usually the years
lowest.
Regardless OF the saving possible
by having coal delivered at this time.
many persons have had a natural
aversion to doing so because they
feared that Their lawns. shrubbery
or flowers might be damaged by de-
livery men.
Here is where the Monument Coal
Co. drivers shine. Because the dri-
vers are SO careful of lawns and
shrubbery and because they take
SuCh care IN sweeping and cleaning
up the walk, street or yard after
unloading coal, are the reasons for
the complimentary comment.
The Monument Coal Co. is located
at 70l z. Washington-st. Richard
w. TubbS. president and manager.
says he has always considered the
service offered customers by en-
ployes the companys greatest asset.
To-day practically every one takes
quality for granted" he said
Therefore, the only thing left for
a company to offer which may be
outstanding or different is the type
OF service which it gives. Each
year the Monument Coal Co. has
had steady growth in volume and
in number Of customers"

MeIo-Gloss paint one Of the

1T may be used with equally fine
results on plaster. Wallboard, wood

and retains its original satiny
Iusrous finish; it is easy to apply

three quarters of mile wide. At the southern
end, where the wrecked car lay, it narrowed
down. A dam had been built, over which fell
thin veil of water under one-way bridge
that led to the road of summer colony on the
opposite side of the lake. The car was lying
on the bank. where the police had dragged it.
1t was covered with mud but not banged up
much.
We parked at the bridge and got out and
looked around. In a sluggish eddy under it,
two dead fish moved around in circles. Melee
stood looking at them, then dropped to his
knees and picked one of them from the water
and shifted at it.
Hasn't been dead long," he said absently.
He slit its belly open with his knife He
looked at the mutilated fish with curious
expression on his face, then picked up the
other one. Repeating the operation, he ex-
ahmed it, too, then tossed them both back
into the water. washed his hands and the
knife, and lit fresh cigarette.
