TAKE IT TO THE LAUNDRY.
We have received several interest
ing communications regarding the
local squabble. Some of them are
very fair expositions of the writer’s
side of the question, and all are ting
ed with more or less vituperation
and venom regarding persons they
write about. While we are very
thankful for the interest manifested
in our campaign for civic righteous
ness and justice to all, we would like
to remark in passing upon the sub
ject, that if you have any dirty linen
to wash, take it the laundry. We
have a good laundry in town and the
proprietor could use his improved
machinery upon many of the subjects
to great advantage. Why, oh why,
when you want to write on your
•pinions about so and so, can you not
forget the personal part of it and
give a nice, clean, gentlemanly ex
position of the affair? Your opponent
may be all you claim he is, but that
is no reason why we should rub our
knckles raw washing out your linen.
tfNOCKER VS. BOOSTER.
Some one has said that when the
Creator had made all good things
there still remained some work to do.
He made beasts and reptiles and pois
onous insects, and when He had fin
ished there were some scraps left, so
he put all these together, covered the
mass with suspicion, wrapped it in
jealousy, marked it with a yellow
streak, and called it a “knocker.”
The product was so fearful that he
had to make something to counteract
it, so He took a sunbeam, put it in
the heart of a child, the brain of a
man, wrapped these with civic pride,
covered all with brotherly love, gave
it a mask of velvet and a grip of
steel, and called it a “Booster,” and
made him a lover, of fields and flow
ers and many sports; a believer in
equality and justice.
And ever since these two were,
mortal man has had the privilege of
choosing his own associates.—Sew
ard Post.
COULDN’T BOTHER NOME.
A man began preaching on Bar
rack Square Wednesday night and
told his audience that the end of pae
world was about due and that the
Second Coming might be looked for
at any time. Despite the importance
of this intelligence; he received but
a fleeting attention from the passing
throng.—Nome Worker.
Just when we get to bragging on
the weather old Boreas gets his back
up and blows in from the north on
the wings of the morning. A day or
so ago we were comparing our beau
tiful weather to a place where the
ptarmigan dwelleth not, and we
would never have to spend good kaie
for a snowshovel. Today our tariff
sheet on the weather is shot so full of
holes that it looks like a San Fran
cisco booking stand. Why can’t the
the god who rules the storm allow us
to prognosticate correctly on our cli
mate just one time?

FORD GIVING BIG
Sends 810,000 to Canadian Red Cross
Although His Cars are Boycot
ted in the Dominion.
DETROIT, Nov. 4.—Duncan Mc
Gregor, Canadian manager of the
Ford Automobile company, has sent
Henry Ford’s check for ?10 000 to
the Canadian Red Cross. The check
is accompanied by the explanation
that it is not intended as a sop or pac
fication of the feeling of resentment
which was aroused in Canada by his
opposition to the Allies big war loan,
but because he is opposed to the hor
-ors of war and wishes to alleviate
-ome of the sufferings of the men at
the front.
The Canadian contingents in Eu
rope are using hundreds of Ford
trucks, but the declaration of Mr.
Ford that he favored “tying a can to
the loan commissioners and sending
them back to Europe,” caused a boy
cott to be placed on Ford cars in Can
ada and many Canadian capitalists
disposed of their stock in the Cana
dian Ford company.
GOD BLESS FRANCE
IS WATTERSON’S PRAYER.
Col. Henry Watterson, editor of
the Courier Journal, in a letter to
the Lafayette fund, marking the one
hundred and fifty-eighth anniversary
of Lafayette’s birth, declares Ameri
ca owes Lafayette and all Frenchmen
after him such a debt that this coun
try should under no circumstances al
low France to be conquered. The
fund invited various prominent men
to its meeting and many have written
in appreciation of Lafayette. Col
onel Watterson said in part:
“The true American hates no coun
try and no people; he loves only his
own. But next after Washington he
must revere Lafayette, the French
man. It was Lafayette who came to
our rescue and brought France with
him, who established comradeship,
and now, God bless France, we may,
if need be, repay the debt. Under no
circumstances, against no plea of in
terest, no matter what the argument
or the cost, the ’ present generation
of Americans cannot with either hon
or or safety or reason allow the peo
ple of France to be driven to the wall;
permit the French^ republic to go
down. Rather than that we should
not hesitate to tackle Germany, even
Jf it meant the driving of every Ger
man reservist in the land back to his
own country, where he belongs, and
should as a brave, honest, and loyal
man have gone a year ago.
; “Let every laboring man today, no
matter what his calling, salute the
memory of Lafayette. And are we
not all laboring men? Do not each
of us love liberty? Let those that do
not hide their heads in shame. So,
up with the tricolor! Let it be folded
warm in the embrace of the Stars and
Stripes. Sound the bold anthem! Be
the "Marseilles" concerted with the
“Star Spangled Banner.’ And now, as
ever and always, to hell with the
Hapsbergs and Hohenzollerns!"

BRITISH LIBERAL PRESS
DEFENDS FOREIGN OFFICE.
London: The Liberal press of En
gland is defending Sir Edward
Gray’s foreign policy in dealing with
the Balkan states. The Westmin
ster Gazette says:
“There have been minorities among
us, as we suppose in all the countries
at war, who become alarmed and agi
tated whenever anything goes amiss
and immediately go hunting for some
one to blame or some one to punish.
Thus we learn in this morning’s
Times that “A storm is raging around
the Foreign office”; and if we looked
to a certain group of newspapers
and their varied contributions to the
orchestra of the elements we might
suppose that to be the case. But we
know the Aeolus who makes these
storms, and can observe the appa
ratus with which he works. Let us
once more assure the foreign observ
er who might be misled that we are
not given oyer to agitation and alarm
because King Ferdinand has defect
ed to the German side, or are trying
to rend a Foreign Secretary whom
we trust and respect because he has
been unable to outbid an enemy in
that quarter.
The Star in an editorial speaks of
"The cowards and poltroons who are
striving with all their might to weak
en Britain at the moment when she
| ought to be strong as a. rock and bold
'as a lion,” and proceeds:
“Let us kill panic, recrimination,
intrigue, discord, backbiting and
scapegoat hunting, not by whining at
the feet of the public prosecutor, but
by the Are of the national will. Let
those who strike our unity be brand
ed as enemies of the nation. The
disturbers of'unity are cowards; we
can frighten them out of their mis
erable wits If we play the man and
woman and play it now. Let us re
members our fathers who begat us.

scapegoat when the hill grew steep
and the way dark? Cursing your
captain is not cricket, nor football,
nor war; it is the asininty of the sav
age who beats his idol when crops
fail or rain tarries."
The Daily News fiercely attacks
Lord Northcliffe because of the Daily
Mail’s condemnation of the Balkan
policy of Sir Edward Gray.
“The time has come,” it says, "to
ask how much longer our cause is to
be imperiled by the unrestrained in
cendiarism of the enemy in our
midst. This is not the moment for
ignorant travesties of a situation still
infinitely delicate, still less is it a mo
ment for the nation to suffer the
criminal attempts of Northcliffe to
make any sort of government in this
country impossible, unless it is a
government which will take its or
ders from his disordered mind.”

To wait until you hear Joe’s bell.
