that while the persons out front
pressing the case against him were
themselves without fina a
means, nevertheless there was no
lack of funds for pressing the
case against him. The whole in
famous affair had the familiar
nauSearing stencil of American
political deviltry. Happily Mr..
Beecher was eXonerated and his
head though bloody remained un-
bowed. He continued his courage
Gus, relentless fight against pol

What holds back the work Of
purifying politics as things are
now is that it is unremunerative
and dangerous. There would be
no danger at all to anyone but
the piratical politicians, if the
people who believe in and want
wholesome government would
work together as closely and in
diligently as do the pratical pol
iticians; and the remuneration to
the public would be very great.
The graft collected from US by
our predatory politicians each
year represents a sum huge
enough to pay off our entire ma
tional debt.
Our churches if they would,
could make our politics clean. But
first they would have to Dust

WASHINGTON DR.. Townsend
w recently tried hard to borrow
100000 from his devoted fol-
lowers.
He offered personal promiSSory
notes for loans of $40 and up.
The Securities Exchange Com
mission heard about it and quietly
told the doctor that anyone who
offered notes TO the public for
more than 100000 came under
the securities act and would have
to file an application for regiSlra-
ton.
There has been considerable
bitterness about it inside the
Townsend movement, and now the
Townsend clubs are going to hold
their third national convention
with headquarters at the Pow
hatan hotel, directly across Penn

Meanwhile Townsend has mott

money and don't want him to let

BECOMING MORE AND MORE INToLERABLE

1t becomes increasingly evident that the John l..
Lewis organization means to spare no effort and
to stop at nothing to carry out its relentless pur-
pose to bring the big industries of America into
subsection.
Steel corporations, automobile manufacturers,
coal operators, and ultimately perhaps the textile
and all other mass production industries, must bow
the knee to Lewis and his cohorts or have bloody
war.
1t becomes more and more obvious that any per-
sstent resistance on the part of the officials of
such industries means unlawful disorders rioting,
bloodshed and death.
If they cannot have their way in peace, they
are ready for war; Strikes not regarded as the
last resort but in some cases almost the first.
If a big strike does not prove effective soon
enough to suit in bringing corporation manage
ments to the Lewis TERMS riots and other violence
are on tap, as an ever-ready weapon.
If loyal and contented workers will not join
them, but persist in continuing at their posts of
work, attempts are made to cut off their food sup
plies, and the slogan strke or starve" comes into
play .. .,. .... .- ...' .. ...
Movement of trucks and even trains carrying
food-and United States mais-are intercepted
and halted.
In the latest big steel strike already several lives
sons injured, some of them seriously.
1t has about come to the point that great indus
tries must surrender to the Lewis demands prompt
ly or stand firm in the virtual certainty that re-
fusaI to accept the terms of the Committee for In
dustrial Organization means roting, bloodshed and
loss of human life, with no other alternative.
"Sign the contract have written, else, J"
apparently has become the utimatuu. 1t. is not a
question of who is right who is wrong, but a
matter of surrendering to the Lewis demands with
out bubble under pain of bloody physical war.
Is that Americanism? Is it democracy?
Would President Roosevelt say that it is either ?
Has he uttered word of protest or objection in
the name of the government of which he is the
head? Has he even whispered word of disap-
prevail to his friend Lewis?

How Common Rope Is Made
of Twisted Hemp Strands

Common rope, such as is used fof
farm purposes, is made up OF thfee
strands, notes a writer in the lpdl
ana Farmers Guide. Each strand
is made up of a number of twlnes
or cords. Each twine is made up OF
twisted hemp fiber. The hemp noel
is twisted to the left in making
no the twines. The tWines are
twisted to the right in making up
the strands and the strands are
twisted to the left again in max
ing the finished rope. The object III
twisting alternately in this last ion
IS that the spring back OF the hoer
will keep the rope tightly tWistea
together causing mutual friction OF
ali fibers. This friction IS Increased
when a load is applied to the rope
This alternate twisting also keeps
the fibers lying parallel IN the rope.
| If YOU will notice a rope care1uily
YOU will see that even though the
rope is twisted the fibers are paralle'
or straight in the rope.
