II 09 1 DO c d:J rvt come ar-out all at t :i gradual, but it has come t,i t:u, and ihf entrance of women into the v'ntical field is. to a large extent, responsible for this evolution. We had a lot of fun in the old dars, uhen we cast our first vote, an.l e cannot look, hack without a pang of regret for the "Merry Men" who ere wont to gather at the political rendezvous. But these men and their methods of political advertising would he sadly out of place today. Men usually take things at their asked its correspon- principal cities just BORROW COFSTT OFFICIAL PAPER J face value and the man who repre sents himself as being capable of holding a certain public office is gen erally accepted at his own estimate I in the absence of any evidence to ithe contrary-: but not so with woman. ! She has the intuition of her sex, j which savs be cautious, and the keen analytical mind which arrives at a ; decision only after the fragments are all brought together, which consti tute the whole. Not only are wo- , ' men harder to convince than men. , , ,,. but their many inquiries about can neno me SOiaier coys j j; jates and their policies raise ques ln the midst of all the grumbling ! tions in the minds of thei.r husbands . , ... . ,).. j ' oiuuici, uucsuuiis inui re er to ana it must be admitted there is . . , , 0 I ethics, religion and morals. So the a great deal of dissatisfaction among ! candidate for office, who woull bast those who served us in the war and appeal to his fellow citizens, must who feel they have not received conduct an advertising campaign that what they believe to be a square deal is clean' that is truthfu! and convin- the government has for every sol- cm-c' and " must be through the me dier in the land a message of impor-ldlum of the best Publications in the tanee dealing u-ifh rh .mri.m ; district where he seeks office. This - - l-,.-.v,. w. increase rather than a decline price. j The World ; dents in the what had been done bv the Federal : authorities to lower the cost of liv 'ing and to punish profiteers. The resulting information is not encour aging. While Mr. Palmer "points with pride" the cojd hard facts ring a dif ferent note. Mere are some of the j things the World's correspondents discovered. I The six months attack by the gov- j eminent on high prices in Chicago .resulted in higher prices. Boston reports that nothing has been done by officials of the govern ment to restrain profiteering, no ai rests have been made. The alleged decrease in the price of clothing in Buffalo could not be located, by the World's correspond- ! ent in that city. j Philadelphia reports, "No drop in i prices as a result of the govern 1 merit's campaign is noticeable." j Clothing and food is abnormally I high in Atlanta in spite of the claims 1 of Mr. Palmer's agents, j San Francisco flings a fly into the ; ointment by declaring that instead of going down prices on the Pacific j coast are going up under Mr. Pal mer's attack. j It is quite possible that Mr. Pal ; mer knows where prices of neces ; sities have been reduced as a result of his efforts but until he can pro- duuee more evidence than is gener ally in sight, it is scarcely in the cards for him to "point with pride insurance, if you care to inquire, i must be supplemented by a record times, lo this add a keen and active interest in all public movements, which affect the welfare of the com munity, and that are beneficial to the home. Then the politcal advertiser can feel assured that he is keeping abreast with modern thought and that he is complying with the de mands of those whose vote will de cide in the great game of politics which from the earliest history of mankind, has been a potent factor in every era of the world's progress. Tenant Farms In the state of Iowa, the state's employment bureau reported that one-third of the farm boys who went to war didn't go back to the farm. They wanted city jobs. Of course they did! And can you blame them when they see wages so high in the city and small prospects for themselves in the country except to be tenants tenants producing food for the cities and gejting only a piffling percentage of the price paid by the consumer for the goods he himself grows by hard work? Senator Capper tells of one county in Kansas Sumner where 55 per cent of the farmers are tenants. De Kalb County, 111., has 72 per cent. The land question has to be dealt with in this country before long or more farm boys will go to the cities and then, presently, the specter ot famine will stalk in the towns. The farmer, not owning his own land and not getting an adequate price for the crops he produces, won't go on for ever raising food for fun. Political Advertising By ClareAc R. Hotchkiss, Secretary of Roosevelt Republican Club The day of the torchlight parade and pole-raising has gone, together with the boss in the corner saloon who put the candidate's picture over the cash register back of the bar wliilc he dispensed drinks to thirsty voters, at the expense of the future governor, judge or constable. The Slats' Diary Friday rote a note 2 J. E. today & put a pome in it wich red The rose is red the vilet anv insurance man will tell von tho' acn evements in tne past witn pro- government insurance plan offers -mise of FroSressive policies in the unusual advantages to the former I future, that will adjust themselves soldier, and at rates far below those t0 the chan?ing conditions of the obtainable from any private com pany. We would like to tell the former soldiers this story of the govern ment's insurance plans, but it is im possible. We must publish our local nes, and we have not space to de vote to this government problem. The officials of the War Kisk Insur ance Bureau in Washington realize this, and they want to reach the sol diers with their story by advertising! in tne newspapers because they have found this is the only way they can reach these men. They admit they have failed to reach them by mail. The men are scattered. The otticial records of names and addreses are almost useless. The man who enlist ed in Texas and whose home town was in Alaska has returned from the war, been discharged in New York and gone into business in Thomas, Oklahoma. The rmy has lost track of him, and his name is legion. He runs into hundreds of thousands. If these thousands of men knew what the government wanted to say about insurance they would gladly listen. But theydon 't. And they will never know unless the government adver tises in the newspapers. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are being spent in a clerical attempt to solve this problem, but it is as far away from solution as ever. The head of the War Risk Insurance Bu reau has nearly a hundred private secretaries at work, and a regular army of clerks. The tremendous cost could be cut materially if our Congressmen and Senators would grant an appropriation for govern ment advertising, but they are not used to this sort of thing and they do not act. It would be a good thing if all mo thers of the former soldiers and alt the wives set to work to make them act, if they wrote to their Senators and Congressmen demanding the ap propriation asked for by the War Risk Insurance Bureau. This is just another phase of gov ernment advertising. Every man, woman anl child in the nation will benefit when the government begins to advertise, but the legislators will not make appropriations until there is a distinct public demand for gov ernment advertising. If you want anything in these days it is neces sary to go after it. Perhaps our read ers will join other citizens in help ing to bring about a little action.

Mr. Palmer Points with Pride Attorney General A. Mitchell Pal mer has been flapping around the country sniffling at anything which! smells like the democratic nomin ation for the Presidency and wher ever the odor has not seemed suffi ciently Palmeresque he has been at some pains to stir the sediment in the bottom of the barrel by prating loudly of his long, hard fight against the high cost of living. Incidently Mr. Palmer admits that he is winning the fight and is prone to insist that his efforts have already resulted in great reductions which redound to the benefit of the Ameri can people. Mr. Palmer may know of some instances wherein he has reduced the cost of living but a recent sur vey of the country conducted by that eminent Democratic organ, the Newj York World, indicates that few pro secutions of profiteers have resulted j from Mr. Palmer's campaign and I that in general foodstuffs show an NO PROPERTY TAX NO DIRECT TAX NO INCREASE 1.1 AUTO LICENSE FEES NO INCREASE OF GASOLINE TAX Keep these three facts in mind. The present auto license fees and gasoline tax will pay both the principal and interest on all the bonds under this amendment, and will yield an annual surplus besides for other state highway work.
