Borer, in juggling the books of Our

Father Bcrer

last April to join McCabe. Search
is being made for Klauer.
McCabe Disappears.
McCabe disappeared with his wife
and two children two weeks ago
after Father Borer had befriended
him and established a little home at
3083 South Thirty-second street for
the stranger.
Whether McCabe took any of the
church funds has not been deter
mined. A careful audit is being
made of the books, Father Borer
' said. ,
Complaints of bad accounts and
-ogus checks bearing McCabe s sig-
nature began to pour into the oftice
of Chief of Police Dempsey yester
cay from various department stores
i which had extended McCabe credit
J through Father Borer.
' Nation-Wide Search.
Chief of Police Dempsey has
w ired police in cities throughout the
country to be on the lookout for
McCabe.
Penniless and hungry, the stranger
came to Father Borer's home one
bitter day last winter. He asked
for shelter and showed letters of
recommendation from prominent
business houses in the east stating
that he was an expert bookkeeper.
Moreover, the strangei showed a
letter of recommendation from
Father Mat Cumings of Chicago, a
former college chum of Father
Rorcr. Father Cumings' letter
stated the stranger was deserving of

Thm fcearf f Father Rorer was

stranger took a deep interest in the

This is how the Lincoln American
Legion men who are members of the
new organization ."40 hommes 8
chevaux" will travel to the state con
vention of the legion at Fremont on
September 2. -
The "40 men or eight horses" or
ganization is made up of "vets" who
traveled that way in those little box
cars in France. Men who did not get
across are admitted to the order, j et
the ex-overseas veterans are given
the preference.
The organization is taking well in
Iowa and clubs have been organized
in many cities. Council Bluffs legion
aires recently staged an initiation
and the men will go to the state
encampment in a boxcar.
Omaha legionaires hope to have
their organization perfected before
the state convention. If they do, they
will travel in a boxcar as they did
in France.

The effect upon American industry being the most important question in the minds of men
who are drafting the new tariff law, it is essential that spokesmen for industry let their repre
sentatives in Congress know what they think the effect of the proposed schedules will be. In
order to help the Senators, who are toiling so diligently during these torrid weeks in Washing,
ton, THE LITERARY DIGEST has asked a number of representative trade journals to tell just
what effect they believe the schedules under consideration will have on their respective indus
tries; whether they will help to restore prosperity, and whether they will tend to raise or lower
prices. These opinions covering a wide field of industry are presented in the leading article in
THE LITERARY DIGEST; this week. While the Manufacturers News, Chicago, thinks that tfce
Fordney bill may have its weak spots and that "it may be well to iron out some of its schedules,"
nevertheless, "the principle back of it apparently has the approval of nine-tenths of the factory
owners of the land," it seems to Raw Material, New York, that the Fordney bill "appears to have
no friends at all, but enemies by the millions." Retail Selling, Oklahoma City, asserts that a
tariff like the one being drafted "will greatly increase the cost of living." These are but typical
of many opinions expressed in this informative rrticle.

Repeal of Excess
Profits Tax Is
Upheld by Green
Iowa Congressman Points Out
Inconsistency of Democrats
In Fighting Measure Recent
ly Advanced by Party.
By E. C. SNYDER.
Waihlngton .'orrnpndiit Omalia Be.
Washington. Aug. 18. (.Special
Telegram.) Representative Green,
in a spirited colloquy today in the
house, answering attacks made by
democrats on the provisions repeal
ing the excess profits tax ar.d re
rlnrinor the hichcr surtaxes. i'i turn
attacked their position aacl showed
their inconsistency.
He pointed out that every cue 01
lir thrrp secretaries of the treasury
under President Wilson and the pres
ident himself had recommendid tne
repeal of these taxes and given sound
miH rnapnt reasons for their reDeal.
He called attention to the fact that
Mr. Cox. their candidate in the elec
tion, had gone all over the country
fWlarintr that if he was elected the
excess profits tax would be repealed
and the surtaxes on the nigner in
comes reduced to a reasonable level.
He read from the democratic plat
form showing that it denounced the
not carrying out these recommenda
tions. Says Tax Unfair.
Discussing these provisions, he said
that the excess profits tax ought to
be repealed because it was unfair
in its workings, penalizing thrift and
ceouomy, and encouraging waste. He
then showed by treasury statistics
that it was not, as a rule, the big
corporations, which were generally
over-capitalized, that paid the excess
profits tax, but on the contrary this
tax bore more heavily upon the small
corporation. lie also showed by
treasury figures that the returns from
the high surtaxes were rapidly
dwindling until the Treasury depart
ment had stated that it would not be
long before they would entirety dis
appear. The reason was, of course,
that those subject to the high sur
taxes were putting their money into
tax-exempt securities, of which now
from $16,000,000,000 to $1 8,000,000,
000 are issued.
Poor Man Protected.
The only way to make this money
subject to taxation, according to
treasury experts, is to reduce these
surtaxes to a point where the great
fortunes would be invested in bus
iness operations rather than in tax
exempt securities and that it was the
opinion of every treasury expert that
in the long run the government
would realize far more in this way
than by continuing the present taxes.
He demonstrated how the man
with a total income of $7,500 would
be benefited by the increase in the
exemption of $500 which he had
caused to be inserted the bill, and
said that under this bill this would
) tip .inlv natinn in thp world where
the poor man paid no tax on neces
sities of life, for all taxes of that kind
had been removed.
Deshler Plays Big
Role at Big Pageant
Staged in Superior
Superior, Neb., Aug. 18. (Special.)
Deshler Rustlers, J00 strong,
marched through the streets here to
attend the pageant, incidentally boost
ing their county fair. The pageant
parade was repeated, the groupings
extending for more than three blocks.
The G. A. K. fife and drum corp
of Farragutt post No. 28 of Lincoln
arrived with Governor McKelvie and
immediately took their places at the
head of the body of infantry detailed
as escort. The Coy Scouts had the
post of honor in greeting the gover
nor. The fife and drum corps just
"drummed their heads off" at the
G. A. K. reunion in Lincoln park
rnd some of the soldiers of the '60s
'anced to their stirnng music.
Women of the Baptist chi'rcli served
dinner to Grand Army. One
hundred and fifty canvaa cots were
scattered' around the park. The
beauty and realism of the pageant
has taken thc entire country by
storm. Not a single item or sentence
of commercialism has been permitted
in connection with it. The scenery,
costing considerable over $1,000, was
painted by the Ak-Sar-Bcn artists of
Omaha.

With 125,000 articles to purchase or manufacture, and then to price and have conven
iently at hand to sell; all days are busy ones with us. .
It is a long way from Portland, Me., to Portland, Ore., and yet we purchase goods m
each of these cities every calendar month of the year. It is a still longer call from the
"Simples" that were culled by the ancients to the "Concoctions of the Modern," more or
less bitter, and sometimes more or less sweet, some very attractive, some quite the opposite,
but each considered indispensable to its users.
That's why the face of the old-time druggist sometimes has a weary and "busy-day
expression, and the newer disciples of this semiprofession appear bewildered, even after
several years' experience.
COME TO US for the articles you cannot obtain elsewhere, as well as for all the other
items. We'll save time and money for1 you. Buy at any one or all of our five prominently
