THE STATE'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1878) Emma Goldman has a job as an official of the Bolsheviki. If it’s a two-hour-a-day job, she'll like it. Some people are dumb when asked about the League of Nations but they’ll talk an hour about Babe Ruth. . THE MAIN ISSUE. During the pre-campaign days, it is just as well for the independent anti-Townley Republicans and Democrats to emphasize the fact that the political laundering in process in Nonpartisan league circles is not a material issue in the campaign. The charges and counter charges that issue forth daily between the Townley-Lemke faction and the Brinton-Waters coalition are not especially ger- mane to the campaign. They do not involve any of the vital issues for which the campaign is to be waged in the interests of the fusion ticket. There is even a suspicion that some of the propa- ganda is a smoke screen to confuse the voters who are organized to fight socialism and to lead the defenders of decent government into the blind alleys of a purely personal feud between socialists who disagree as to how the patronage and the other spoils are to be distributed. Townley and Lemke are seeking to give the people of the state the impression that Brinton and Waters have been adopted by the independent voters of the state interested in the success of the fusion ticket. The opposite is true. O’Connor and the men behind him are fighting Brinton and Waters and what they stand for just as vigorous- ly as they are waging political warfare against The personal quarrel be- tween these men cannot by the very nature of things become a political issue. Brinton and Wa- ters are merely reviving charges that were made upon the hustings during the primary campaign, adding to them personal grievances over finan- cial matters which very remotely concern the fall campaign. 1 It is not of any vital public concern whether Jim’ Waters resigned or was kicked out. If he did not resign willingly, he left the post and to all outward appearances at least he gave the gen- eral impression that he had relinquished the of- fice willingly and there was no public cry of for- gery until Townley turned down his claim for $5,000, several months after the resignation now in controversy was made public. These and other matters do not touch the vital issues of the campaign as outlined in the various platform preachments of the anti-Townley Re- publicans and Democrats. If Waters and his man Friday have evidence in their possession that Townley and Lemke violated any law, they should place the information before Attor- ney General Langer and such action should be taken as the evidence at hand warrants. To date one man has been arrested for criminal libel, while the men this person claims are forgers, em- bezzlers and worse are at large. It would seem the better public policy to arrest the major offenders first and take up the misdemeanors lat- er. If Brinton and Waters ‘speak the truth, the at- torney general is warranted in securing from them the information to base an arrest of Town- ley and Lemke. The arrest of Brinton, however, would indicate that the state is attempting to use that method to get sufficient evidence upon which to apprehend Townley and Lemke. As the whole, affair can hardly be threshed out until after, the November elections, the case will continue to be tried in the press of the state for what political advantage the developments may have for either faction. To the man in the street the whole affair as the story unfolds is looking more and more like a tempest in a tea-pot. However, it’s a cinch that the candidate who sticks to his veranda will never be arrested for auto speeding.

PAPER SUITS UNFIT HERE Walter H. Burton, a Chicago woolen merchant, who returned from Europe last week, says that the paper suits made in Germany, which were ap- parently being boosted by certain officials of the administration in Washington, would be of no use in this country on account of the heat. “During the long war,” Mr. Burton continued, “the Germans had to fall back upon all kinds of materials to make clothing out of, as they had no: wool or cotton to make cloth. Their manufac- turers did wonders with paper.. They made shirts, underwear of all descriptions, collars, caps, | sheets, towels and bed coverings. The table- cloths in the hotels when I was in Germany three weeks ago were nearly all made of paper except at the Atlantic hotel, in Hamburg, which is owned by the Hamburg-American line and has been fur- nished from the supplies that were intended for the ships. “The paper suits and underwear are all right to keep people warm in cold weather, but they are very trying in the summer, even in Germany, where the temperature is much lower than in New York and there is less humidity. “The underwear and the shirts stick to one when they bdcome soaked through: with perspira- tion and have to be removed in pieces. ' The suits look O. K. until the rain comes, and then goodby clothes. They shrink up and are likely to fall apart suddenly in a manner that causes confu- sion to the wearer.

Mr. Christy is enthusiastic over Alaska. “It is a country of wonderful possibilities,” he said. “I ate bread made from wheat raised in Alaska. The flour was ground there and I was reliably informed that wheat raising and flour making are to become great industries, “Vegetation is wonderfully prolific.

They grow wild on all hands and canning factories are to be established to save them. CLOUDS SCATTERING Bankers, who sometime ago, predicted a strained credit situation this fall and winter, were, it now appears, unduly pessimistic. Money for the moving of crops is more plentiful than they thought. : “As a matter of fact,” asserts the Wall Street Journal, “the opinion now prevails that a com- “fortable money market will obtain throughout the balance ‘of the year.” This condition, bankers say, is the fruit of pre- cautionary methods adopted last spring by the Federal Reserve authorities—plus the quick turn for the better of the railway patient.

ARTERIO-SCLERQSIS Arterio-sclerosis is the doctor's name for hardening of the arteries. The blood is pumped around by the heart, and sent to all parts of the body through a set of tubes that grow smaller and smaller the further away trom the heart they go. These tubes or Wlood-vessels which carry blood from the heart are called ar-}° teries. The blood is brought back to the heart, from all parts of the body. through another set of tubes or blood vessels called veins. These two sets of tubes, the arteries and the veins,” are very much alike in the way they are built, but not altogether. They are like two sets of rubber tubes. the arteries being the heavier and stronger and mort jastic tubes. | Remember—elasti A thing that is elastic can be stretched and will shape When the stretching is stopped, | The first thing one thinks of when elastic is mentioned, is rubber. Now, everybody knows*that new rubber is more elastic |than old rubber; also that good elastic rubber will becomey worn and spoiled by usage and by tithe; also,.that there is a right way to use rubber'to make it remain elas- tic longer, and a wrong way to use faster.

Good Causes and Poor Tunes. Mr. Bernard Shaw, who has fallen foul of “The Red Flag,” which he re- gards as an air that would ruin any movement, seems to forget that many a good cause has been supported by a poor tune. The Belgian national an- them is a remarkably inane melody but that did not impair the resistance of Liege. And neither the words nor music of “God Save the King,” are particularly uplifting. The air of ““Lilltbullero,” that is sald to have whistled James II off the throne of, England, cannot have been a very dis- tinguished one, for nowadays no one seems to know what it was. Onl the other hand the Tussian national anthem was easily one of the -most stirring examples of its kind in Eu- rope, but it did not save Russia from collapse.
