SON-OF-A-GUN OF A MAYOR
Picture to your mind a woman inciting men to dis
obey the laws of the country whose ignorance leads her |
to forget herself so far as to call our President a “traitor,”;
and for her apparent disregard for the respect due to the j
man at the head of the greatest nation in the world, re- i
ceiving the protection of the mayor and chief of police of,
one of the large cities of the country; and you have a pic-j
ture of the kind of Americans who deserve the contempt
of every man, woman and child with a single drop of ied;
American blood in their veins. !
According to a dispatch yesterday, District Attorney
Allen of Seattle is quoted thus: "There is nothing that
tne government can do if Mayor Gill and his chief of police,
won’t break up these meetings.” In this ease, however.:
the blame is wholly that of Gill. 1 he chief of police is
merly obeying orders, which is cumulative proof that Gill j
is a son-of-a-gun of a mayor.—Progressive Miner.
HOW FORD FIGHTS U-BOATS
On a 7,000-acre farm near Detroit fifty little tractors
are doing the work of twelve times their number ot horses.
If the war lasts another year, there will be 50,000 of them
doing the work of 600,000 horses and an army of 1,000,000
men. Henry Ford is solving the problem of farm labor
for the allies. He is digging the food trenches. The first
battery of tractors to leave America goes to England,
bought at cost price by the British government. Henry
Ford is fighting the U-boats by tilling British soil, and he
declines a profit. When Henry Ford sticks to the job God
made him for, he is one of the biggest men in the world.

BILKED FOR $250,000,000
Food Governor Hoover declares that for the past five
months the people of the United States have been bilked
in the sum of $250,000,000 by food speculators. That’s
only $2.50 apiece and we can stand it—but we won’t.
It’s a grewsome and vulturous preying upon a peo
ple’s ills and that people’s vociferant demands are not
going to visit the ears of congress any more considerate
ly than at present, with the prospects brighter for a ma
terial increase in vocal anger.
The crop outlook is fine and the fact is enough to im
pel the country into some sort of food control quickly.
The law of supply and demand will not control prices this
year: that will be done bv the laws of craft, selfishness and
They do more
than please the taste—

A Through Ticket
Via
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Ry.
WHY
By buying a through ticket you save from $10.00 to
$i5.00* as against buying to Seattle and re-buying
there.
By buying over the C., M. & St. P. Ry. you are as
sured the comfort that comes from riding behind an .
electric locomotive — the most powerful in all the
world—and that personal attention which is a fea
ture of “Milwaukee” service.
For tickets, berth reservation and other particulars,
consult your nearest Steamship Agent.

LEARNING FROM THE CHILI)
“Where do the hot dogs live?” was the expression of
a three-year-old to her parents the other day when some
one proposed buying some of those standard resort non
descripts.
It brought a laugh, of course, but also it carries a
lesson. It illustrates the directness of the child mind.
Until children are warped twisted by what we call
the world there is no indirection about them. They go
straight to the point.
They see things that puzzle them and they ask di
rect questions. They always drive right up to the point
And many a grown-up who laughs at the child would
be more of a man, or woman, by getting back some of
childhood’s simple straightforwardness and simplicity
and honesty of expression.—Exchange.
NO PLACE FOR FIFTY-FIFTY AMERICANS
Everybody may not agree with Colonel Roosevelt
when it comes to political beliefs, but there are few Amer
icans who do not rejoice in the manner which the doughty
Colonel lands on what he terms the “copperheads” in pub
lic life.
This country is not unlike others, and even under the
most liberal government in the world are to be found men
with no love of country; no patriotism; and no regard for
the flag which floats over them, and for the sake of no
toriety or to please a disloyal constituency are willing to
obstruct the government in every way possible at a time
when unswerving loyalty is demanded and needed from
every person in America.
As Roosevelt says, this country has no place for
“Fifty-fifty” Americans, and the sooner they are rele
gated to private life and from there to internment camps,
the sooner will this country settle down to the real busi
ness of making war.—Anchorage Times.
