We destroy Initiative ana creative enthusiasm the moment we deprive industry of the power to accumulate: profits. The Inevitable question arises, can we have material prosperity without economic control? The driving t force in \ny kind of business Is not • V- altruism. Ttfany business men. how- : ever, are. imbued with the altruistic- : --spirit and cheerfully give nway large Bums of money, which must be made out of profits before it can be distributed for the public good. Most of our colleges, libraries, art museums, publie parks, and many other Institutions were grants from men, who. because they had accumulated large wealth, were able to make the gifts; Money must be earped before it can be given, away. We cannot give something we do not possess. This does not argue, however, that the congestion of wealth -which means economic control is not dangerous; frankly it Is, but again, like . dynamite, it depends upon how that power is used. "SANDER " RIV A l E X A N O t * KOID P A U I * R 0 BE S O N S H E B A N K S NINA MAE MeKINNEY Chapter 2 WHAT HAS GONI Why not argue that economic control be directed into channels of social values and moral uplift rather than destroyed by legislation? Is it not a problem which could be better solved by a proper appraisement of social values with an appeal to conscience? In short, it is a moral antf'not a legislative problem, and should be settled upon an authorized system, of moral values which, according to the spirit of our democracy, is our inalienable might of "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit lof Happiness." ^ T'r.'on. ilfosambo, an escaped conifiet. has made himself chief of itAe Ochori without British sane fion. British Commissioner Sanders, u'Aifc, ruler of two million African natives, impressed by his undeniable influence for good over this formerly troublesome tribe, decides~to make Aii*» official chieftain for a '-Mix PALAVER V" TVo or three days later, a igraph message from Government . Hovue informed Commissioner Sanders that the warriors had raided the French territory of Dahomey, _seised two or three hundred natives, And were marching back to . their v own country. An Ochori carrier-pigeon was. released, and later the same day reached Bosambo. He removed a tiny roll of paper attached to it. The missive read as follows: "King Mafolaba's warriors will return through your country from Slave raid. Stop them and hold their captives until my arrival." Ere long the beat oT tribal drums ••iWsa resounding through Bosambo'• Village, summoning his Aghtlng men --to arms, and with his followers in full force behind him the ex-convict led the way from the kraal.

"Ijis like the sound of a stream run-1 ning over little stones--Ulongo^* * He paused, and then: "Where do you come from, girt??^- ; "I am from the ooast." V x "I know all about the coast," j»« rejoined. "Lilongo, we shall talk . some more--you and I." " > • The entire band set out for the Ochori village, where, the Old King's .captive warriors were kept under guard until the arrival of Sanders The Commissioner and his assistant reached Bosambo's kraal by an antediluvian paddle-steamer Known as the "Zaire," it had accommodations for a company of soidiehi; whom the white Lord of the River had taken along with him. r Sanders first congratulated Bosambo on the manner in which he had handled a tricky situation, and en dispatched a messenger to < King Mafolaba requesting his presence at a palaver outside the Ochori village. "He should be here before the is out," he said. "He will be here. Lord Sandi," Bpsambo declared. "He is afraid of you." MaioUba The prophecy was no idle one, tot that afternoon a great concord of warriors was sighted. Mafolaba himself was reposing in a Utter Twice the Files of the Plalndesler of Years Ago ^ /•Washington reputations without any change in oldfashioned lobbying procedures.

' It was the figure of Bosambo. Mafolaba's jackal called a halt. ,v "Whose dog are youhe asked. Bosambo did not answer the ques- , tion. "You go no farther." he said. "That is Lofd Sandi's command." "You know who I am dog?" the other retorted. "I am the Captain of King Mafolaba's Guard." "Lord Sandi says to stop you and ihold all men and women whom you lhave seized," Bosambo. announced grimly. "Turn round and march to my village, if you know what is good for you!" The spear of the Ochori chief was levelled at the other's breast, but hat was not all. There had been movements in the long grass and the undergrowth, and now King .Mafolaba's minion saw the glinting ijassegais of many warriors. For first, time he realised that Bosambo iwas not alone, but possessed a force fthat outnumbered the slave-raiders •iby three to one. T Mafolaba's jackal ground his teeth. The party which he himself 'headed was but one-twentieth of his King's man-power. Away in the *|«ity of that powerful monarch, '-i'there were regiments which could jihave wiped out the Ochoris to the last man. But the Captain of Mafolaba's Guard was in a tight corner, and he had to obey.

On tne instant Mafolaba's captain thought he saw his chance to strike a blow that would demoralize the enemy, and. wheeling unexpectedly he hurled his spear straight at the Ochori chieftain's breast. Out of the corner of his eye Bo samibo caught the glint of the weapon, and warded it off with his shield Then he lunged forward, and all the strength of his mighty arm was behind the shaft that sped to the heart of the Old King's minion I) pierced the man's body, and he fell with a great cry The unfortunates seized by King Mafolaba's raiding-parly included ten girls, all attractive according to negro standards, but there was one in particular who took Bosambo's eye--a slender girl with a touch of white blood in her, strangely allur ing in her dark, native way, with ah expression that was winsome and yet bold Bosambo looked down on her borne by four of his servants. Sanders, Ttbbets. and Bosambo awaited htan. Close by, the company of Hausas from the Residency stood at ease. Mafolaba and his followers came on and halted. King Mafolaba stepped forward and he and Sanders exchanged salutations, after which the negro potentate sat down. Sanders leaned forward to speak to him. "King Mafolaba," he said, "wheal summoned you to palaver I did not ask you to bring all your warriors." An ugly glint was playing in the negro monarch's wicked eyes. "Sandi," he answered, "I brought them so that a dog of a little chisf might tremble at the power he has provoked." He looked venomously at Bosambo as he spoke those words, but the Ochori chieftain gave him eys for eye. Then Sanders raised his voice again. "King Mafolaba," be said, "you know that slavery is forbidden." • That is the white man's law," the other retorted. I, Mafolaba, am the greatest king in this country." 'My King is the greatest king on earth!" Sanders rapped out. "His law fas the law of this country, and, when petty chiefs and kings bring shame on him, we, his servants, must stamp them out. Take heed of that, Mafolaba, and let there be no more slave raids by your war^ riors." The old king succeeded in mastering his wrath. He was afraid of this Sandi. afraid of those Hausas standing nearby. " 'Sandi." he said, '*1 am your friend 1 will do as you ask. But one thing I tell you now--I shall not forget that a dog of a 'little chief once chopped the captain ot my guard." TWENTY FIVE YEARS AGO THe pearl searchers all along Fox river are busy again. The fever has also struck McHenry, although no finds have been reported thus far. Miss Nellie Newman is assisting in the meat markeC and grocery of C. G.

Before snow flies we expect to see every business house in McHenry using the electric current. Survying and procuring of the right of way for the proposed new Palatineand Wauconda railroad was started from Palatine last Monday morning. The road loOkis like a sure go this time. Washington, July 17 - It is likely that the controversy over tax legislation may reach sufficient proportions to force an early adjournment of Congress. Only the insistence of the Progressive bloc in the* Senate that the "soak-the-rich" plan should go through the mill this session prevents the President's consent to a closing down at this time. A determind effort to win the powerful clique over to a reasonable point of view has been underway for several days with a glimmer of success. Wrangliijig has broken out along the entire legislative frpnt involving partisan angles and factions within the two major parties. The minute the President abandons the special revenue measure it will be a signal for speedy disposition of important bills now tangled in a parliamentary maze. \ If you have ever observed how; the weather affects your disposition then you have a fairly accurate picture of the doings at the Nation's Capital. Heat and humidity have of late contributed to the marked display of frayed tempers among our national law-makers. Short-tempers accompanied by sharp tongues are not conducive to orderly handling of vital problems of the day. A survey shows that President Roosevelt is not endearing himself to the solons by keeping then! on the job when they want to run back home for a few months. . Committee meetings have developed into public brawls as legislators hurl epithets without regard to partisanship have either been stretched to a breaking point or gone on the rocks as a consequence of the petty arguments now reported daily. The current investigations by the Senate and House into lobbying activities were inspired by the bitter feeling engendered in the fight on public utility legislation. The inquiry has made the legislators reticent and hushed away the many little private conversations in the sacred precincts of the party cloakrooms just off the Senate and House floor. The discloses before the lobby committees have iOwn the need for a close-mouthed attitude in order to save political careers. The net affect of the present. Congressional quiz will be damaged Though the Supreme Court definitely set the limits for government control of industry and trade in the famous NRA case, it is "flow apparent that the Administration is reaching the same goal through indirect means. Complaints are flooding Congress about the methods utilized by the New Dealers when their"*fforts to obtain mandatory legislation have failed. Because of the tremedous sums allotted by the Federal government for loans to industry and banking, the governmental agencies find it possible to write their own ticket. Clauses are inserted in loan agreements requiring compliance with certain conditions outlined by the central government at Washington. Groups badly in need of money are obliged to sign on the dotted line and for1 the term of the loan must abide by working conditions set by various bureaus here. *^The scope of this influence may be gleaned from the fact that government money goes out in many directions whether direct from the Capital City or down thru the local town bank. Mr. Roosevelt's insistence that Cohgi; ess pass the Guffey coal bill regardless of whatever qualms they mfcy entertain as to its final legality is rubbing the law-makers the wrong wjiy and providing his political foes with powerful campaign arguments. The national legislature will undoubtedly oblige the White House and at the same time place the responsibility squarely on the shoulders of the Chief Executive. It is an accepted view in both political camps that the President and his advisers are endeavoring to short-circuit the courts in many instances. One method is the pending Walsh bill, which the Senate will consider shortly. While directly hitting all private producers and distributors bidding on government contracts, the bill, sponsored by the Administration, reaches down the line to all points of contact which government contractors may have suppliers of materials going into the processing of the finished product. Bidders say that the new Covenants which the Federal authorities want make it "necessary to, maintain all the conditions Which were imposed by the NRA, lately defunct. State relief agencies will n<4t take kindly to the new policy of the Federal Emergency Relief Administration confining government contributions to public works over which .official Washington holds the reins. The word has been passed that hereafter the commonwealths ind municipalities must take care of their own problems and raise the money without dipping into the gift bag here. It is concedcd that the major items on the Roosevelt "must" list of legislative measures will be approved by Congress. The clash over the "death sentence" in the public utility bill will not be ended with the adjustment of differences between the Senate and House on this measure. The flare-upi in the House showed the Administration that rough-shod methods are not as effec* tive as a compromise wherein both camps save their face with the voters. : . CELEBRATES BIRTHDAY:' .1 V Master Duane Bacon, son of"Sf#ir and Mrs. Lester Bacon, was four years old on Wednesday, July 17, and celebrated the occasion with several of his little neighbor playjnfttes who spent the afternoon with him and enjoyed a birthday lunch. Those present were Agnes and Bobby Miller and their cousin, Ora Colby, Jr., of Chicago, Rita Ann Conway, Jimmy and Donald Wells and Diane Bacon. Later in the day Duane's grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. L. V. Adams and their sons were supper guests in honor of the day. Master Ora Colby, Jr., of Chicago is spending the summer with relatives here.

The suits are on the same order as those worn by city policemen and henceforth one will be able to tell our "coppers" without straining his eyesight looking for a star. John P. Schreiner is enjoying a week's vacation from his duties in the F. A. Bohlander store. There are still some of the drivers, even in the village, who insist upon feoing around the guide posts in cur streets the wrong way. Drivers should remember and keep to the right and save themselves heaps of trouble. H. F. Lindsay, who until recently conducted a meat market and grocery at Hebron, and who moved his family to this village a short time ago, is now employed in the F. G. Deinlein grocery on Water street. "The chief of the Ochori was act* ing on my instructions." the Commissioner snapped. "He intercepted your captain in my name, but your jackal chose to disregard my coin* mands." ^ Mafolaba showed no signs of •being pacifled. "In mf Village there are nine drums," he said for the beneflt of Bosambo. "Each of them is covered with the skin a little chisf who has offended ihe. I think 1 know whose skin will cover ths tenth!"
