Looking over the list of big fellows who bought Insull stock at what they though was a bargain and noting the reputation for wisdom of many of them, we do not vender that a million “forgotten men'' took the bait. Government attorneys have established the fact that Senator Davis sent nearly 25,000,000 lottery tickets through the mails. Well. I any way we have to admit he did business. Now they will try to show just what part of the proceeds went into his own pocket. A march of triumph is Roosevelt's trip down the Pacific coast this week. Every where he is being greeted by enthusiastic crowds and leaders have promised him the electoral vote from California. Oregon and Washington. No stopping that fellow. The striking farmers of lowa are going to put on a big parade when President Hoover visits Des Moines but it will not be as friendly as candidates usually have and wi'l not mean that they are going to vote for him. They intend to show him they are in earnest in their demands. Seven of Adams county’s twelve townships are under the $1.50 limit for taxes next year as fixed by the new law and another one or two will probably get under the wire wtion the rates are finally fixed. That’s a good record that ought to inspire all the others to follow suit within a year or two.

Plans are going forward for a big time here the night of October sth when Paul V. McNutt will speak at the Catholic school auditorium. Delegations from over the county and district will be here and the occasion, marking the opening of the Democratic speaking campaign in the county, should be one of the , best in years. We get a smile out of the efforts of the Republican press to make the defeat of the LaFollettes a Hoover victory. He had about as much to do with it as George Washington. Wisconsin never takes orders from Washington but its a great state to be “agin" things in general. We can’t see much about the primary to exault the hopeful G. O. P. and there are many indications that it will cause a Roosevelt victory there in November. Just wait and see. The tax reduction in Adams county as proposed at this time, is • a real cut, one that will be equal!- ’ ed by few in tho state. It surpris- < ed even one of the field men for the tax reduction association, who 1 said there could certainly be no * complaint here. He likewise com- t plimented Decatur for the low i 2 utility rates, street lights and water , hydrant charges and said if the entire state was as well managed ( there would be no complaints. ; That’s something to stick out our ’ chests about. ° i I Household Scrapbook —By— | I ’ * ROBERTA LEE | Worn Bed Cpreds Heavy, worn bed spreads make excellent sounding cl; ths.

They turned i thumbs down on the idea. The State of New York also I caused the abandonment of one pic- ; ture, “City of Sin,” when they re- ' fused to allow the Governor's man- | sion to be photographed. During the filming of Connie i Bennett’s “What Price Hollywood?” Miss McGaffey tried to get | the use of a distinctive film eolony bungalow for a single exterior scene.

This ’deep-seated, far reaching, most interesting and important question: | "Who is to blame tor this panic’’ Before we can view this question. jin its entirety aand study it with; lan open mind seeking the truth in its true relation. w» must first van ish from our system every trace of political taint. Now we are ready to open the port holes of doubt that have been . clased In the Ship of St <te. by the spreading of propaganda and let : the light of reason and truth shine) in. By stating the World War is not | the cause of this panic as this de-| pression was on its way even be . i fore this conflict started. Although I 1 am willing to confess that the war 'did help to hasten its development! iit did help to intensify its severity j and it did help to prolong its duratiou by breeding into the Amer-1 I lean people an over confidence.; {which caused us to loose our sense I of thrift, that developed into a high j speculative fever. Contrary to the belief of many the Eighteenth Amendment is not j the cause of this panic, it is a con I ' tributing factor only insofar as of-1 ; ficial corruption has allowed the development of graft and scandal over the protest ot a just and righteouss cause. Even the most ardent wet will J jonfess that our dry laws would bej a good thing if they were properly enforced. Now logically ‘■•peaking wouldn't It be much better to remove the obstacles that are in the way ot law enforcement, instead of j ! breaking down the law in order to, r keep from enforcing it? The first method is constructive while the 1 ! second is destructive. Again official corruption should 1 ' be more alarming to the public ' jthan the depression itself for panics '' can only occur and reoccur as offiricials fail to do their duty because' they follow the clinking of the al- ' mighty dollar. Until a calamity is brought onto the masses of inno- ’ cent people. If some one will intelligently ans- ‘ wer the following question it would! I i be useless for me to continue this: . discussion: "Who has the wealth in the United States and how did they; ' I get it?” Let me clinch the argument right i ( here by stating the cause of this, panic is swollen fortunes. Swollen j fortunes are the direct out growth | of a high protective tariff and official corruption. , I In connection with present con- ( ditions a high protective tariff has| } 1 two meanings, one effective and [ the other Ineffective. This within itself has broken' down the basic principle of equalization in the form of an unjust and j 1 an unfair distribution of wealth, | which has driven farmers from the | market snd besides has almost I ruined our foreign trade.

world's price level with their products while manufacturers were able to hold to the war tlma prices by the protection given to them. Therefore the wide margin between what a farmer had to sell and the commodities he had to buy sapped his financial vitality to such an extent that up-to-dRo ten million honest hard working tillers of the soil have been run through the mortgage gauntlet and have been turned out at the other end. penniless. homeless and jobless, a disIgrace that can be charged against I fake campaign promises. They are I the helpers and innocent victims of I graft. How long this deplorable condition can last depends on the tolerance of farmers and the millions of unemployed. However, in certain sections of Uie country this j tolerance has reached a breaking - point. I do hope the reins of our gov- . ernment will find their way Into the hands of h -nest and able leaders so that the dark cloud of adversity will take on a brighter hue. which I will deve’op into a confidence that i every one according to his wealth I will be compelled to carry his portion of burdens and that our economic system will be revamped and reshaped so that we will have a I guarantee of equal prices. No intelligent citizen will care to ’openly deny but what the Townley land Smoot tariff is the cap sheaf lof present conditions. As soon as I this law went into effect its harmliul effects could be felt at once. Therefore, corrupt ocicials and I promoters of a high protective tarI iff for manufacturers and a high i ineffective tariff for agricultural * products are to blame for this i panic. Miss Polkadot.
