Newberry Walks die Plank.
Wonder of wonders! Truman
H. Newberry, a Republican senator
of the United States from
the State of Michigan, ha3 been
brought to book at Grand Rapids
for criminally conspiring to violate
the federal election laws in
1918. when the returns apparently
gave him a majority over
Henry Ford, Democratic nominee,
and he has been sentenced to
two years in Leavenworth penitentiary
and to pay a fine of
$10,000. There is cause for
wonder in the conviction of
Newberry because rascals of his
ilk usually are able to cover their
tracks so successfully that conviction
is wellnigh out of the
question, however honest and
patriotic the jury may be. Along'
with Newberry his brother and
15 of his campaign managers
also. have been convicted on
similar charges ami likewise are
under prison sentence. But the
country is principally concerned
over the fact that justice has
overtaken the chief conspirator,
who has for the last year occupied
a seat in the senate to
which he was not elected, and
considers the conviction of the
other men as an incident of the
trial, though all doubtless deserve
the end to which their
dishonesty has brought them.
But there's many a slip 'twixt
the cup and the lip and after all
Newberry may be able to outwit
justice. "The fight has
only begun," says his chief
counsel. It is n ho mou I
depend upon all the power and
influence of the Republican party
being thrown fn the scale in
his behalf. The G. O. P., the
party of organized greed and
corruption, the party that stole
the presidency from Tilden in
'76 and again from Bryan in '96
has no qualms of conscience
when it comes to serving its
own selfish ends; it needs Newberry's
vote in the senate. And
the Newberry election in Michigan
and the pusillanimous fight
the Republican party has made
on the peace treatv are fair samples
of its highmindedness.
Of course it remains to be
seen just how far young Mr.
George Warren will get with his
candidacy for the seat now held
in the United States senate by
E. D. Smith, but he enters the
race with the handicap of youth
against him and the misfortune
of having selected as one of the
chief planks in his platform opposition
to the Volstead act for
the enforcement of the liquor
laws. Except for the opposition
of the former brewers and wholesale
liquor dealers in the North
there is little to indicate that the
countt-y is yet tired of the prohibition
laws passed by Congress
a year or two ago. It is all
right for Mr. Warren to talk
about people dying for the lqpk
of llfltinp frti* moilininol

but we doubt whether he can
v point to a single instance of the
kind having occurred in South
Carolina. Mr. Warren ought to
k ground his claim for the senate

HOTOArS APIOAA BOAEALll
From 8 to 11 o'clock Monday njgfa
the northern heavena prtsiinfari a Spes
tsculaa appearance wwh as hafe no
been seen inr this gprt ei the i aaaitij
tor many years. Streams of Ught
stretching from the north toward- th<
east and west, and ascending to
ward the zenith from a dnsky haze i
few degrees above the horizon, gar
the appearance of scores or searchlight
placed side by aide for* the* purpose a
spying out the heavens. The seen
was most beautiful and awe inspiring
from about 10:16 to 10JO when tb
whole sky from horizon to zenith an
from northeast to northwes^ was rich
iy illuminated. The writer witness*
the streams of light m they slowly as
cended from the-dark haze near th
horizon entirely to the zenith and be
yond. and as they changed color, final
ly mingling a pale red with yellow, wit!
here and there a patch reminding on
of the rainbow.
It is thought by scientists that thi
wonderful effect is produced by th
passage of electricity through the up
per regions of the atmosphere when
the air is greatly rarified. That it i
an electric disturbance is strongly indi
die a ted by the fact that telagrapl
wires are much affected when the euro
ra appears. On Monday night, accord
ing to press reports, telegraphic com
munieation was suspended all over tbi
country for about 15 minutee, while th<
auroral display was-at its height.
This natural phenomenon, callec
aurora borealis (northern lighta), is ol
much more frequent occurrence and ap
pears on a scale far more grand anc
imposing io latitudes farther north.
The corresponding phenomenon ii
southern latitudes, which is never visible
to us, is called aurora austrails

"When 1 consider thy heavens, th?

As a means of reducing high rente,
portable houses will be provided by Uu

to an announcement made by the presi
