Editor t f 1 Dillon, S. t'., December 18, 1919 .j lj BUYING A SENATES HIP WRONG. , In this land of the free and of de-!( I i luocrac? it should be unnecessary for a man aspiring to become a United . States senator to spend from $500,-! , | \ 000 to $1,000,000 in order to attain | his seat, us was charged by the grand ; jury indictments in the case of Sen-;'1 a?or Newberry of Michigan. The sit- Jc c uation described would be an ana-! ! c chronism and dangerous to republi-; can institutions. If one man could do | it, another wealthy man would be j tempted to try it. This is not of course ie saying that Senator Newberry spent * even as much as a cent to be elected 1 ?it is merely saying that neither he v nor anyone else has a moral right v to expend vast sums to gain a seat in 11 the senate. |* The question of technical guilt i aside, however, certainly more money was spent in the successful effort to make Mr. Newberry a senator than r is good for the public service or consistent with popular confidence in it. a It is clear that the outlay charged 1( against Mr. Newberry's backers can- w not be defended under any respect- a , j : ti.kl.. w auie cuutf ui uiiu ii lucviiduij leaves a suspicion of corrupt methods l' and corrupt motives which would de- ^ stroy the usefulness of any benefi- w ciary as a public servant. ? q The practice of individual thrift is the best conceivable antidote for the socialistic poison that has come into, the world. Thrift in its fullest sense; t leads men to rely, justly, upon their,* own worthy efforts instead oi upon j the brute force of mass action on the, port of the lazy, the incapable and the improvident. It puts self-restraint, and self-reliance, into men's souls, as well as a self-acquired sense of justice. The man who thrives by his ot own honest endeavors is no more in- ur clined to seize the product of other ^ mens labor than he is to allow oth- pi er men tp take what belongs to him, HI and all this makes for a generous, independent and courageous manhood. sp p One bad feature about home made 111 "whiskey, is that it may kill off all the ai consumers. wj ?

Yet it ^ ou s a holiday withal, a day of overvhelniing joy and gladness. Most persons are willing to crack un i bank account in order to make. J.'u . far if Christmas a grancf success.
