The refusal of congress to pass
the lavamier resolution to in
quire into tne proms ol war mu
nition makers and the sources
01 iouoy limueiice oenind tne op
pojtuon to government manu
lacture of armaments is another
straw showing winch way the
wind blows.
It also discloses that there is
prouamy a good substantial basis
.or tne chaige made by this same
congressmen that there exists a by
no means indennite connection
between congressmen, naval and
army officers and munitions mak
ers.
Tavenner’s resolution was of
fered for just that purpose, to
show the country the true atti
tude of congress toward the
wholesale robberies that have and
are being perpetrated against the
government by the munitions and
armor plate manufacturers
The excessive profits made bv
the arms and armor manufactur
ers on government contract"*
needed no further shoeing up as
they have been sufficiently ad"
vertised through earlier investi
gations, to say nothing of the rev"
dations furnished by the various
scandals in connection with gov
ernment armament contracts
That the country is being system"
atically robbed by the private mu
nitions manufactures and the
armor plate concerns is well
known to all who have watched
the trend of affairs.
Few have forgotten that the
armor plate trust sold armor to
ussia just prior to the Spanish
American war at a contract price
- A s. J***
of $249 per ton while they wer«
asking their own government
over six hundred dollars per ton
for the same class of product.
Also it has been several times
shown that American made arms
and ammunition were being sole
to other countries at a price con
siderably below .that charged the
United States.
These things are all well, known
so well that in a less graft ridden
and graft ruled country than the
United States they Would be
looked upon as a public scandal
and the perpetrators visited with
well merited condemnation.
Everything goes in the good
old U. S. A., however, and no
or-e pays but little attention to
the fact that government is pay
n.g three or four times what it
should pay for munitions and
military equipment.
Congress pays the least atten
tion of anyone to this notorious
‘tate of affairs and the munitions
and armor makers are left to per
petrate their holdups without a
word of protest except from a few
men l:ke the Illinois congress
man who cling to the antiquated
view that the government is no
lore a legitimate subject for rob
bery than is an individual.
MARK TWAIN ON
PATRIOTISM
My kind of loyalty is loyalty
to one’s country, not to its insti
tutions or its office holders. The
rountry is the real thing, the sub
stantial thing, the eternal thing;
it is the thing to watch over, and
care for, and be loyal to; institu
tions are extraneous, they are its
mere clothing and clothing can
wear out, become ragged, cease
to be comfortable, cease to pro
tect the body from winter dis
ease and death. To be loyaT to
rags, to shout for rags, to wors.dp
rags, to die for rags—that is a
loyalty of unreason; it is pure
animal; it belongs to monarchy;
was invented by monarchy; let
monarchy keep it. The citizen
who thinks he sees that the com
monwealth’s political clothes are
worn out, and yet holds his peace
and does not agitate for a new
suit, is disloyal; he is a traitor.—
From Connecticut Yankee in
King Arthur’s Court
THE WORST ENEMY.
jl. George W. Burr com
mander at tue Kock Island arsen
al, has had the following “ser
xmettc” placarded in all the
hops there, and it is an appeal
.vInch is directed to every one:
1 am more powerful than the
combined armies of the world.
I have destroyed more men
than all the world.
1 am more deadly than bullets,
.iid I have wrecked more homes
han the mightiest of siege guns.
I steal in the Uniteu Mates
alone over $300,000,000 each year.
1 spare no one, and find my
victims among the rich and poor
alike; the young and the old; the
strong and the weak; widows an**
phans know me.
1 loom up to such proportions
hat I cast my shadow over every
field of labor from the turning of
the grindstone to the moving of
every train.
1 massacre thousanls upon
thousands of wage, earners in a

There’s one rubber boot
that 1 i£S “made good” I
in Alaska, and that’s the
Goodrich
HIPRESS'
White Boot
•With the Red-Line 'round the Top*’
You know that when a boot comes in and
simply sweeps the whole country like
“HIPRESS” has done, it’s GOT to be
SOMETHING UNUSUAL.
White Goodrich “HJPRESS” Boot; actually wear
longer than iron or steel! You don’t have to half
sole them with leather—they far outwear hob
nailed leather soles. Tha reason for this unusual service Is that
“HIPRESS” are constructed by an entirely new process-fifty years
ahead of the old.
Made of tha tenia tough rubier that goes Into Gocdrich Aata Thru!—welded
together under enormous pressure INTO ONE SOLID PIECE!
Nothing to coma apatt—they esn’t leak, peel, cr&ck or split! They're comfort
able, too—shaped to the toot while It’s working. Wo promise that ouca you start
wearing White “HIPIiESS” you'll never be satisfied with anything else. And
remember—It. has »Red-Llue 'round tha Top.

1 lurk in unseeu places, and do
most of my work silently. You
tc warned against me, but you
need not.
1 am relentless- I am every
where ; in the home, on the street,

ings and on. the sea. •
1 bring sickness, degradation
and death, and yet few seek to
avoid me.
I destroy, crush and maim; I

“COST OF LIVING” IN 1916
Here is a queer scale of prices
in vogue in country stores in this
country just a century ago:
Salt, $16 per bushel. (Sixteen
dollars, not sixteen cents.)
'l ea, $1 a pound.
Veal, 4 cents a pound.
Eggs, 6 to 8 cents a dozen.
(Top price 10 cents a dozen.)
Best calico, 75 cents per yard;
cheapest calico, 27 cents per
yard.
Chickens (top prize) 18 cents
each. (Each chicken not each
pound-)
Geese, 25 to 37 12 cents apiece.
Wool, 12 1-2 cents a pound
Muslin, 50 cents per yard.
Beef, 4 cents a pound( some
times 3 cents.)
Brandy, whisky or rum, 25
cents a gallon.
Candles (top price), 871-2
cents a pound.
Could anything wabble more
eccentrically between high and
low than the "cost of living” in
ibis list?—Cincinnati Times Star.
