seventeen American bluejackets and

occupation of Vera Cruz, started on
their way to New York on board the

HARRIS IS WILLING
TO SERVE LONGER
Job Would Probably Last Only
Until New Board Is
Organized

1t is stated, on first class authority,
that, no matter who should be chosen
as state printer before the first of
January, the election would only hold
good as temporary and subject to
change upon the reorganization of the
state board when GovernOr-elect Witty
cOmbe takes office, and that, in the
event it was decided that Mr.. Harris
should be held over after the first of
the year, it is certain that he will not
remain there after January IL. 1T is
also the sense of the state printing
board that the business of the printing
plant can be more economically and eff
ficiently conducted under state
printer, who is to serve as practical
printer of the board and have foreman
ship over the printing plant, and that
the business of the plant will be under
the supervision of a manager-secretary
The state printer, nominally speaking,
would draw salary of $500 per year,
as provided by the incoming law, and
the board would have the power Of fix
ing the salary of the manager-secretary
at anything it saw fit. Under this order
of organization it is predicted that
w. NJ. Plimpton, the present secretary
of the board who transacts all of the
business Of the printing plant under
the present system, will be selected
manager or whatever title
the board chooses to confer upon the
position, and that Erthur Brock, pres
ent foreman of the printing plant, will
be chosen state printer
State Printer Harris has asked that
he be reappointed and says be-
cause the salary he received was
rather high, that he feels it his
times to sort Of even things up, His ap-
plication to the board is appended:

Board.

"One result of the war in Europe

remarks the Chicago Tribune.

President Wilson, being profoundly
anxious that people in the United
States shall in speech and action con-
duct themselves as unhyphenated Am
orleans, has issued warning against
what he terms "The most subtle
breach of neutrality. 1.-THE people of
the United States are drawn from
many nations. The spirit of the ma
tion in this critical matter will be de-
termined largely by what individuals
and societies, those gathered in pub
lie meetings do and say, upon what
newspapers and magazines contain,
upon what our ministers utter in their
pulpits and men proclaim as their
opinion on the streets. Divisions
among US would be fatal to our peace
of mind and might seriously stand in
the way of the proper performance
of our duty as the one great nation of
peace. The United States must be neu-
trail in fact as well as in name during
these days that are to try mems souls.
We must be impartial in thought as
well as in action; must put curb on
our sentiments as well as upon every
that might be construed
as a preference of one party to the
struggle before another"
