The Investigation of the Campaign Funds It is an open question if the country will be served by the results of the probe of the cam- : paign expenses of the two parties. No one seriously believes that either party has committed flagrant sins against the laws of political pro- : prlety in collecting the funds necessary for camr paign purposes. - So long as we believe in party government, . money to wage campaigns will be necessary. Money spent for publicity, for traveling expenses " of speakers', for hall rent, entertainment, and for countless other incidentals has no taint attached to it. By no stretch of the imagination can any party be accused of trying to buy an election be- ' cause it collects a fund to carry on the campaign. The solicitation of funds becomes sinister if political offices are promised in return for contributions, or if legislation designed to promote i he interests of the contributor is promised in - return for his money. This would debauch campaign activities and seriously menace the republic. Either of these methods is reprehensible in the extreme and well worthy the close scrutiny of the senate campaign investigating committee. The American people would be influenced by revelations showing that f-uch practices have been adopted by either the Republicans or Democrats to further their campaigns. The amounts collected by either party for campaign purposes, provided it is done in a legitimate manner, offer no cause for alarm. If the Republicans are able to collect more money than .the Democrats can do, and consequently are able to carry on a more extensive publicity s campaign through speakers and printed matter, 410 one has the right to criticize them for their ability to collect the money, and vica versa. The amount of the campaign fund is no debatable issue, but the method of collecting it and

the manner of its distribution may be nefarious! and open to censure. Why Keep on in School? Many a boy will ask this question in a few weeks. And many a parent will have difficulty convincing his son that education does pay even in an era when wages are high. The boy will say, "Why fool around trying to get an education when I can make big money in

the factory and store?" Often the most obvious course is the most foolish. That holds true of the boy who will

quit his high school education to remain at the

lathe or behind the counter.

It is true that education won't make brains

out of ivory or bone. It also is true that some of

the world's greatest leaders had meager educations. But the experience of the race has proved conclusively that education does pay, and the exceptions invariably hav, proved the rule. Lincoln had few opportunities to obtain a schooling, but no man placed a higher emphasis on the value of education that did the emancipator. It also may be salutary to remember that during the war the army had to have schools to educate illiterates and persons whose education was so limited that they were of little service to the military establishment. The incident shows that education is needed in every walk of life civilian or military. Moreover, the officers of the army came from the ranks of the boys who had completed high school and college educations. You can gain an education in the hard school of life. But eventually you pay dearly for that schooling, and at its best it is one-sided and deficient. Ask any so-called self-made man if he believes in education, and invariably you will find him favoring it. Some of the greatest benefactors of the colleges and universities of America are men who were denied the privilege of an education. They give without stint, and freely, because they believe education enlightens and broadens. A few years at school may seem a great hardship in contrast with the earning capacity of your friends who have entered the industrial sphere. But you may rest assured that the lapse of a few years will find you infinitely better off financially and mentally than will the lads who today spurn the school for the pay envelope.

Memories of Old Days In This Paper Ten Years Ago Today

V : J Joseph Wess Moore, formerly of Dublin, Ind., a drummer boy in the Civil "War and known as the "Jean Val Jean of California," died In the Indianapolis traction station enroute home after -being absent for 50 years. He had served many years in a California prison for killing a man in self defense and was paroled several times at which times he started a school for the education of ex-convicts of Oakland, Calif., but was brought back to the prison each time on "framed"

charges. He had just received a par

don and was returning home when stricken. As the result of the operation of one or more dog poisoners, dogs in some cases highly values by local residents were killed. Those who had lost valuable pets included Howard Oesting, Ben Bowing, J. Bond, Tmothy Sprouts, and Mrs. Ben Kremeier. Oesting, who had lost two dogs, one of which was said to be worth $100, offered $25 reward for the arrest and conviction of the guilty party or parties.

Dinner Stories

Today's Talk By George Matthew Adams

ON INVESTING. I would not give much for the man or woman who didn't make the practice of saving. I would not apply this solely to money, either. I read an inch announcement of a man who died in my town the other day who left a fortune of something like $30,000,000. Bat I had never heard his name before. And I doubt whether any excepting his closest acquaintances had either. He hid saved a great sum. largely thru investing. But I have in my library the wonderful thoughts of a man yes, dozens of them who died so poor in money that you couldn't buy many potatoes today with what, ho left. But, O how rich he was! He invested all that he was and had in ideas. And the dividends go into my brain and yours. And our hearts beat richer blood for euch investors. Wouldn't this be a very sordid, poverty stricken world without such as Emerson, Whitman, Stevenson, Kipling, Irving, Twain, Shakespeare, Browning:, Tlioreau, and such kindred fortune-builders? The greatest investment in the world is to put something back into the WORLD And that means doing something all the time for human beings. But don't txpoct to pet ALL your dividends at once leave that to the quality of what you are and do. But keep hi vesting. ' The only success worth going after. Is what you do for other people. The more you loam, the more intelligent you become, the more able lire you to pive by investing. And the larger the returns to you thru others. It is an inspiring thing lo live with the knowledge that your ideas are entering the lics of many all the time ' arid that, in turn, they then enter the lives of still others by a neverending chain process which we know as influence and which itself has no nd. Do handsome things. Invest someUin? every day in somebody else's liappiness!

REAL TROUBLE. 1 There's trouble In the Balkans, And Poland's in a mess. They're fighting now in Persia And everywhere, I guess. The Greeks are fighting Turkey. The Irish want a scrap. And wars and fights and riots Are spread across the map. The world is In a pickle, There Is no doubt of that. But, I have some real trouble. I've got to find a flat. The retailer blames the wholesaler, the wholesaler blames the jobber, the jobber blames - the middleman, the middleman blames the railroads and the railroads blame the farmer. And all of them, in some way or another,

ngure it out that the ultimate consumer is to blame. While we are not exactly In favor of the income tax, we believe that every income tax payer in the country takes a greater interest in the business affairs of his government under this system. He has acquired a nasty habit of asking where the income tax money goes and what he feot3 for it. The old-fashioned friend who used to be able to tell where it was possible to get a quart for $6 is rapidly passing out of style. The wind that is going to be wasted in this campaign would turn all the windmills in America for three seasons pnd sail all the cup races for the next half century.
