resulting information is not encour

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

of going down prices on the Pacific
j coast are going up under Mr. Pal

j It is quite possible that Mr. Pal

; 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

times, lo this add a keen and active
interest in all public movements,
which affect the welfare of the com

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
