Goods Called for and Delivered PHONE VTTS?- OOSITE I b 6 MiLOCi0URNAL OFFICE Now that the government has be gun to unload its great supply of meats accumulated during the war, there is complaint that it ought to have done so long ago. One critic calls It the prince of food hoarders, and says it is an offense to prose cute men for hoarding food while the gvernment itself has been the chief offenders. The criticism sounds well enough until one recalls the state of affairs that existed at the time the war ended and contemplates what would have followed had the govern ment thrown all of its supplies upon the market. At that time, the farmers were carrying much livestock, bought at a high price and fattened upon ex pensive grain. To have thrown all of the government meat upon the market at one time would have so demoralized the market the farmers would have had to sell their hogs and catttle for a song or less. So it was the farmers, through their representatives, inroe than any one else, who demanded that the gov ernment distribute the meat gradual ly and not break down the market in a ciay. The meat packers were of course, vitally interested, for they would also have suffered, but there is little sympathy for them, as a rule, where as there is always great sympathy for the man out on the farm who is threatened with disaster while doing the best he can to feed the nation or ought to he. Hut it is hard to please everybody. We who have had to pay exhorbi tant prices for meat over the years, do not feel kindly toward the gov ernment for hoarding its supply. Hut had the surplus been dumped upon the market, with bankruptcy following for the farmers, they would not have felt kindly about it. No system has as yet been devised that will enable everybody to feel good over a government action of this magnitude. THE SHIFTLESS HUSBAND One of the most trying positions in which a woman can find herself is that of the wife who finds out that her husband is shiftless. Very likely he Is a man of many good qualities. It is only his perform ances that are poor, lie might suc ceed if he would, and it is- simply maddening to a wife to know this and yet to see her husband passed in the race of life by men of inferior talents but more willingness to work. Curing a man of the liquor habit is not a more difficult task than breaking one of the habit of shiftlessness. Scinetists claim that they have discovered the microbe of lazinesss. but nobody has found out a cure for it. Infusing blood into a turnip is an easy job cmopared to putting energy, determination and grit Into a man who is constitution aly tired and slipshod. Yet, al though no effort on a wife's part will entirely take the place of ener getic work by her husband, she can to a large extent make good for his deficiencies. Probably the most ef fective cure for a shiftless man is to have a wife with a fiery temper. Such a woman ofjten drives her hus band into success through mere dread of her tongue. He isn't as much afraid of work as he is of his wife. Not all women, however, have been blessed by heaven with the ability to inspire terror in their hus bands, and so some pursue other tactics. If the husband is a preacher, lawyer or writer she can understudy her husband's role and write sermons, read up cases or look up data for him and thus keep him going. If he is a business man and she sees that things are going at loose ends, she is wise if she hires somebody to take care of the house and babies while she goes into ac tive partnership with- him. One thing the spirited woman who is married to a shiftless man will never do, and that is to settle down into a state of acquiescent doing without things. "Why cant your husband make money?" asked a practical wo man of the wife of a shiftless man. "If he can't, make him do it." -:o:- W. A. ROBERTSON LAWYER Coates Block Second Floor .J. EAST OF RILEY HOTEL WV WW WW WW WV The republican leaders are loudly demanding that Governor Cox "prove" his charge that an enormous republican campaign fund is being raised, confident in the belief that he can't do it. Chairman Hays says it is only about $3,000,000 by which he means, of course, the amount to be raised and spent by the national committee. This does not include the funds that will be raised and spent by other sources, including state and local subsidiary organizations, into whose finances it is very difficult to inquire. Governor Cox appears confident of his ability to furnish the evidence. It will be a very surprising feat in deed if he succeeds. Such things are very hard to prove. Politicians have too many ways of covering up their tracks and great centers of wealth enjoy too many facilities for disbursing money secretly and ef fectively. The New York Times, in this connection, recalls Judge Park er's similar charge made in the cam paign of 1904. The assertion was challenged and proof demanded, which Parker was unable to furnish. "But when the investigation of the insurance companies came on after the election was over", remarks the Times, "the general belief was that the evidence was indeed forthcoming, though a trifle late." So it may prove in this intance, though a significant "explanation" made in advance by Fred L'pham, treasurer of the republican national committee, indicates in itself enough to support Cox's cgharge of a $ir. 000,000 fund. Says an Associated Press dispatch from New York: "Mr. Upham expressed the opinion that Governor Cox, in charging that more than $700,000 was raised 'in one place." was speaking of the state of Illinois, where this amount was raised, 'hut for purposes of national. state and county campaigns com bined.' The frankness of this prompt ad mission suggests that it was forced by knowledge of the fact that Gov ernor Cox had tiie evidence to prove it The World-Herald asks its readers to study seriously, for a moment, just what that means. Alreauy. in a single statt before the campaign is well begun, nearly three-quarters of a million dollars has been raised as a republican cam paign fund! If that much nas been raised in Illinois already, how much will I.e raised in that state by November 1 ? If so enormous a fund is to ho raised and spent in Illinois alone. how much will the New ork hind amount to? How much will Penn sylvania give? How much Ohio, and Massachusetts and New Jersey the other great industrial states are clamoring for privilege aud tection at the hund: of an Guard government? If the other states that house the special interests do nearly as well in the next sixty days as a single state is admitted to have done already. then the republican slush fund will amount to a great deal more than the $15,000,000 that Governor Cox charges. How will that money be How great will bo the b made to the donors expense if the election is If it is to be President what, when he gathers his council lors about him Penrose and Smo -t and Lodge what will be the de cision as to higher tarilT rates, whieh Harding has announced is t he par mount issue of thae cmpaigt.?
