PUBLICITY

While the matter of publicity or no publicity in the affairs of government relating to the war, is engaging the attention of many, and various views are held, there is one side of the publicity question that should not be lost sight of—the financial side of local public affairs. It is an unfortunate fact that the laws of the various states are very incomplete in this vital mater. Also it is unfortunate that what statutes are in existence are in many instances dead letters. The very essence of popular government is that the ultimate power of such government rests in the people. Public officials are in truth but servants, and responsible directly to the people who place them in office, hence the public is entitled to and should have a full knowledge of their every public action.

But this knowledge can not be had without an efficient system of publicity. Mere access to public records, or knowledge gained by “word of mouth, will not answer. Nothing like a correct knowledge of the financial condition of any public office can be gained by these means. There are but two causes that contribute to dereliction in public office—ignorance and crookedness. Sometimes these are hard to distinguish one from the other. In Cither case, however, publicity is the only agency that will effectually, protect the public. This the ignorant but honest official will welcome, It is only the crook who IL state i'n the union should adequate publicity laws. There-

is no valid reason why any honest legislator should oppose placing these laws on the statute books. Every public official who handles a dollar of public funds should be required to render perlodiqal accounting. Many an honest but ignorant official has become inextricably involved, when publicity at the right time would have saved him from a charge of crookedness and the public treasury from loss. There can be but one reason urged against a thorough system of publicity of all public financial affairs, and that is the matter of expense. To this we will answer that, if all the losses to the public through the ignorance or crookedness of public officials could be compiled, the total would without doubt be found to far outweigh the cost of publicity. Every honest public official should not only welcome, but insist on. the fullest publicity of his acts. Every citizen who has the slightest regard for the interests of his state and community should insistently demand it. And every community should unite to see that this publicity is given.

PHILOSOPHY OF WALT MASON

Man walks through life with locoed tread, and finds the going rough; through all his youth he looks ahead—the future is the stuff. He'll do great things in coming years, when he has half a show; his fame will ring through all the spheres and reach to Broken Bow. He’s so impatient for the time when he can hit the spots, that youth, the golden and sublime, is gone before he wots. Youth, youth! It passes like the Wind, and cannot be recalled; and man wakes ./up some day to find he’s tired and old and bald. He sees the wreck of noble schemes, and murmurs, through his tears, “The plans of youth are idle dreams that won’t outlive the years.” Now he is always looking back, as once he gazed ahead; his eyes are on the rugged track that knew his hopeful tread. The future has no charms for him-, it smiles for. hint, no more; the past appeals to eyes grown dim, he talks of days of yore. Oh. youtli, forevermore your gaze is fixed.on things ahead; while age laments the vanished days, and sadly counts its dead.

The membership of the United Mine Workers of America was 350,000, according to the latest report.

HUNKA TIN

You may talk about your voitures, When you’re sitting ’round the quarters, But when it comes to getting blesses in Take a little tip from me: Let those heavy motors be, Pin your faith to Henry F.’s old Hunka Tin. Give her essence and I’eau, Crank her up and let her go. You back-firin’, spark-plug-foulin’ Hunka Tin. The paint is not so good, And no doubt you’ll find the hood Will rattle like a boiler shop enroute; The cooler’s sure to boil. And perhaps She’s leakin’ oil. Then oftimes the horn declines to toot. But when the night is black, And there’s blesses to bring back, And they hardly give you time to take a smoke, It’s mighty good to feel, When yo’re sitting at the wheel, She’ll be running when the bigger cars are broke. After all the wars are past, And we’re taken home at last To our reward of which the preacher sings, When these ukulele sharps Will be strumming golden harps. And the aviators all have reg’lar wings; When the kaiser is in hell 'With the furnace drawing well, Paying for his million different kinds of sin; If they’re running short of coal, Show me how to reach the hole, And I’ll cast a few loads down with Hunka Tin. Yes, Tin, Tin, Tin, You exasperating puzzle, Hunka Tin; I’ve abused you and I’ve flayed you. But, by 'Htenry Ford, who made you, You are better than a Packard, Hunka Tin. —From the American Service Bulletin, Paris.

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS

J. Spratt and wife should have no trouble in dividing the meat rations these days. What has become of the statesman Who sneered at the silver dollar as “cheap money?” Was there, or was there not, a man named Villa who cut some ice in Mexico in years gone by? It is suspicioned that General Haig is seeking to make each of his “offensives” true to the term. • After this war is ended, the title “Colonel" will no longer stamp a man as necessarily from Kentucky. Many a boy who was pronounced “the picture of his dad’ has been known to overcome the handicap. Great excitement has been Created throughout Mexico by the publication in El Universal pf a statement by General Pablo Gonzales, former commander of the Carranza forces in Mexico City and a wellknown constitutionalist, favoring Mexico following the example of other Latin-America countries and severing diplomatic relations with Germany.

SCRAPS

The “pea tree,” botanically known as Caraganus arborescens, is described as a shrub worthy of place in any garden, yet its foliage is good for browsing. Mrs. George Macomber of Underhill, Vermont, has a geranium fourteen years old, which is five feet six inches tall and has eighteen large scarlet blossoms and ten buds. More than 150 toy factories are now operating in the United States, turning out great quantities of such toys as were formerly made in various parts of- Europe. German exports to the United States, as registered at American consulates in Germany, were $8,349 - 902 in 1916, against $39,967,183 in 1915. Exports to the Philippines were $21,428 against $140,871. There were no exports to Hawaii or Porto Rico. The most expensive wood in theworld is said to be the boxwood, imported from Turkey for the use of engravers. The cost ranges from four cents a square inch up to ten cents a square inch for the best grades. An ordinary wagonload of boxwood would cost many thousands of dollars. Nearly every class or design of vessel sinks in a particular way.

Always Have PERUNA Mrs. L. A. Patterson, 1399 Kentucky r* St, Memphis, Tennessee, writes: * O* “I have been a friend of Peruna QzOUffllS WR for many years. I have used it off j |j T and on for catarrhal complaints and ctFlO found it a very excellent remedy. • -w I have a small family of children. 11l Ul6 J** Times are hard with us, but I can y y ___ yy j scarcely afford to do without Peru- iIOIHG* K6COHUD6D(I na, especially during the season of j, . aj • ■ ■ the year when coughs and colds It tO VUF IN 61211 DOFS, are prevalent.

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

For instance, the old type of singlebottom steamers, with few or no bulkheads —that is, in the modern sense of the term—almost invariably founders on more or less of an even keel and not with the bow or stern up in the air. Company F, 6th, of Defiance, got a wild raccoon before leaving the home armory. The animal was kept in a cage at first. Now he is as meek, gentle and playful as a puppy. He visits all over camp with friends he has spotted. He is as curious as a tom cat. He investigates everything. Music|ans at first had lots of fun laying their large brass horns on the ground. Greaser, as he is called, would investigate the entire horn and end up by climbing into the bell of the horn as far as his body could go. There is a dense woods near the camp, but human kindness appears to be more of an inducement to the animal than his usual haunts.

Tnere is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and for years it was supposed to be incurable. Doctors prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Catarrh is a local disease, greatly influenced by constitutional conditions and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Medicine, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is a constitutional remedy, is taken internally and acts through the Blood on the Mucous Surfaces of the System. One Hundred Dollars reward is offered for any case that Hall’s Catarrh Medicine fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. F. J. CHNEY & CO., Toledo, Ohio. Sold by Druggists, 75c.
