POLITICAL OFFICES FOR SALE
- A STATEMENT by Senator Thomas P. Gore of Okla-
homa that he had been offered two "opportunities" to
dispose of a new federal judgeship in Oklahoma attracts
attention again to a frequent failure in the way a demo-
cracy is conducted. On too many occasions, political ap-
pointments are made because of pecuniary inducements,
and in some cases the facts are widely known, says the
Denton Record-Chronicle.
The Record-Chronicle continues: Senator Gore who
was defeated for re-election a few weeks ago, declared
that one man offered $10,000 for the federal judgeship,
while another offered to give all the money Gore needed
for election campaign expenses. It would have been very
easy for Gore to appoint "his good friend" who had been
so generous with campaign fund donations.
One of the purposes of the law requiring candidates
to file statements of campaign expenses is to determine
the source of money, and also, for the public to realize
what is back of political appointments that are made la-
ter. But often campaign contributions are made through
a law firm or through a dummy giver, and even when
the public is appraised that a certain man gave a sub-
stantail sum to a candidate, this fact is forgotten when a
few months later the donor is awarded a fat political
plum.
Senator Gore declared that if the name of either of

for starving cattle into the

cut on roughage and 33 1-3 per

E. B. Boyd, chairman of the
Western trunk lines, said the new
rates were published and effective
Friday in Montana, North Dakota
and some parts of South Dakota.
Rates are also to be reduced in
other parts of So th Dakota and
in Wyoming, he said, but are sub-
ject to delay because of the nec-
essity of tariff revision.
) The roughage rate is effective
on feed such as cornstalks, beet
tops and ensilage. The hay rate in-
cludes vegetable meals, such as soy
bean meal and flaxseed meal.

$ PROPAGANDA ANTIDOTE
IT BEGINS to look as if the country is in for the big-
gest propaganda since the World War. Nevar have the
combined forces of radio, press, pamphlet and inuendo
gotton off to a better start than in the current presi-
dential campaign.
It, therefore, behooves the voter, says Dr. Clyde R.
Miller of Columbia University, to look into a few of the
tricks of the propagandist, lest he become helplessly en-
tangled in a mesh of contentions.
The best way to deal with propaganda says the
professor, is to subject it to searching criticism and analy
sis. Ask yourself, "Who holds the opinion, who utters it,
and why?" If the opinion stands up under this examina-
tion, you may depend upon it as being pretty solid, for
the critical process always strips propaganda of prejudice
and emotion.
Which is something none of us ought to forget be-
tween now and November.

made the statement that the nations worst enemy was
not the outlaw but the crooked politician and the politic-

administration that permits such a thing to take place
should be "rubbed out" to use an underworld expression.

import a load of bumblebees or
rattlesnakes.
He had heard reports, the farm-
er said, that the nudists were go-
ing to import a bunch of strong
guys to protect the sancity of their
camp Sunday, when Searles will
hold a clambake for spectators on
his adjoining farm. A similar func-
tion last year attracted 2,000 per-
sons who wanted a glimpse of the
)nudists. •
"I’ll go them one better," said
Will. "I’ll import a load of bum-
blebees or a load of rattlesnakes
and I’ll let ’em loose along my line
fence and have ’em go over and
bite those nuders right off School-
ey’s Mountain. And they can be
bitten all overbecause they are
all bare."
Will said he knew he could get
the snakes at Suffern, N. Y., but
did not want to handle them him-
self because they might get dis-
orderly.
He is ready to loose the bees
himself, he said, and preferred
bumblebees to honey bees.
"They can sting fourteen times
before they die, while an ordinary
bee can sting only once," he ex-
plained.
Tranned In Well,
Youth Is Rescued
Zanesville, Ohio., July 25.—Dig-
ging rapidly, a corps of rescue
workers removed Laird Ankrum, 17,
Friday from the bottom of a well
where he was trapped for several
hours by a collapse of the walls.
Doctors said he was uninjured.
Ankrum had climbed into the
well on his uncle’s farm twelve
miles from Zanesville to clean it,
when the walls caved in. He was

== The average man, to start at the ground, covers his
sfeet with cloth and then usually with a layer of heavy
animal skin rendered practically airtight by tanning. He
then coats his body with cloth extending at least from
knee to neck. He adds another layer of fabric which starts
at the ground and ends at the waist where it is strapped
around his middle by a leather girdle augmented, per-
thaps, by a cloth and rubber device slung over his shoul-
ders. He then covers the upper portion of his body as
high as the shoulders with another garment of silk, linen |
or cotton that also envelop the arms as far as the wrist. |
Then. reverting to the time when it was essential to pro-
fect his torso against sword and spear thrusts, he adds
* tight, form-fitting vest, and then a coat. Around his
neck he fastens a rag or stiff collar, as impenetrable and
unyielding as armor plate. Around this he fastens a noose
of cloth which someone gave him for Christmas and
which he fondly imagines is decorative. Then, reverting
to the time he was afraid monkeys would drop cocoanuts
on his head, he covers the skull with a protective layer
of felt or closely woven straw. | Richmond, Va. July 25.—Thomas

Justice of the Peace H. E. Wil-

o fmurder probably will be filed.
Officers said the fight occurred
after a short argument. White,
after being struck, dropped to re-

shortly afterward. Medical inves-

San Francison’ Cal, July ,25—
Father Divine ne re religious lead-
1 er, will come th his Ban Francisco:
flock, led by Eisler Sweet Pea, a
| giant negress in linen house dress
and dust cap, when they have faith
| enough to bring them here.
| The New York minister has been
| expected here since the founding
of his mission in January of this
year.
An upper floor room in the Pa-
cific street building on the edge
of old Barbary Coast, which once
housed a famous restaurant, is
kept in readiness for his coming.
Each day. Sister Sweet Pea places
fresh flowers in the vase beside
the small iron bedstead. Each day,
followers pray for faith that will
bring him here.
The faithful few, ragged men,
made up of abot t half whites and
half negroes, prayed .Thursday in
a basement hallway, whose walls
are covered with cheap newsprint
photographs of their leader, for
faith. As in an old-time camp
meeting, they swayed back and
forth, to Sister Sweet Pea’s boom-
ing voice.
Ways are Funny.
"Peace, brothers! Ie is God and
his ways are funny and mysterious
: like and don’t know when he is
or what he is doing. But what
he is doing is good, nothing but
good. All we can do is hope for
his coming."
When the meeting broke up, the
crowd went upstairs and sat about
oiled cloth tables. Sister Sweet Pea
and a helper brought tea and
great plates of bread and beans
and rice from the back room. The
men ate hungrily.
"Peace, brother. Can’t do much
praying without something under
your belt. God ain’t coming here
without your praying for Him
too."
Prayers were said when the meal
was ended. Each man was given
literature to study. One piece told
f the California state convention
of the International Righteous
Government movement of Father
Divine’s peace mission, to be held
in Los Angeles July 31 to Aug. 2.
"God may be there," Sister Sweet
Pea said. "But you can’t tell If
they ain’t got faith in him. He’ll
know and won’t come. I am hop-
ing He’ll hear us and come here
first. We sure need Him.”
